Popular summary The environmental and social consequences of predicted climate change are expected to be amplified in urban environments due to their elevated temperatures, which are attributable to a phenomenon known as the Urban Heat Island. As most types of vegetation can provide for cooler air temperatures due to their natural cooling effect, increasing amounts of vegetation in urban areas mig

Scientific summary Satellite imagery has been used to produce highly accurate land cover maps, even effectively discriminating between vegetation types. While land cover classification based on differences in pixel values in one or more spectral bands is an effective way of mapping large areas, the coarse resolution of freely available satellite images is not suitable for mapping urban environment

Popular summary Energy generation from renewable sources is one of the main issues to be solved for the 21st century. One of the most advanced technologies currently available is wind energy, which has a large potential onshore and offshore. However, in many cases wind energy is restricted to large wind parks with wind power plants sometimes exceeding heights of 100 m. The construction of large wi

As China rises and the former glory of the U.S. hegemony slowly fades, the rest of the world is watching closely. Opinions and analyses on whether it will have a peaceful outcome or not are many and various. This study investigated contemporary Chinese foreign policy in an attempt to argue that economic objectives are too important for the Chinese Central Leadership to consider military aggression

Background Today many organizations convert from being a traditional functional organization to becoming more temporary project-based organizations in order to respond to the changing environment. As a result, project-based organizations have difficulties to learn from within the project and between projects which force project members to “reinvent the wheel” over and over again. If organizations

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad har berget i Romeleåsen varit med om? Jordskorpan är uppbyggd av ett antal plattor. Vid plattgränser under oceanerna bildas ny skorpa av magma som tränger upp. Oceanplattan kan inte öka i storlek. Där oceanplattan möter en platta med kontinental jordskorpa tränger oceanplattan under kontinentalplattan (subduktion, t. ex. Anderna). Vid kollisionen dras sedimeRomeleåsen is the south-westernmost exposure of the Fennoscandian Shield in Sweden. Fennoscandia forms a part of the East European Craton and was extended to the south-west during prolonged episodes of accretion during the period 1.95-1.55 Ga. Metamorphic reworking took at least place during the Hallandian/Danopolonian orogeny at 1.47-1.38 Ga and during the Sveconorwegian orogeny 1.10-0.92 Ga. Hig

The result of our project is an induction cooktop that utilizes temperature sensors along with an interface that provides new functionality when using different products on the stove. We also designed a kettle, a coffee maker and a waffle iron to visualize the concept. The motivation for our project came from the fact that many kitchens today are full of electric kitchen appliances, each with its

Mitt examensarbete resulterade i en teoretisk del med observationer över vilka behov och önskemål som kan finnas hemma hos en äldre målgrupp samt två fysiska produktexempel som sammanfattar mina tankar om livslång användning. RÄCKVIDD Klädhängare. En funktion för olika situationer. Då kläder är något som berör de flesta fungerar produkten för alla åldrar. Från när du är liten och inte når, i din

This thesis consists of a pilot study on air emission management from six of Tetra Pak’s converting factories with the aim of mapping current air emissions of VOC, air purification equipment, and legal requirements. A description of the impacts of certain VOCs on the environment is also included. Tetra Pak’s 36 converting factories scattered all over the world produces 167 billion beverage and foo

I en tid där striden står mellan kulturkonservatism och modernism utmärker sig kulturdemokratin som ett slags tredje ståndpunkt. Det traditionella kulturbegreppets idealism förkastas och samtidigt tar kulturdemokratin avstånd från den svårtillgängliga modernismen. Kulturell demokrati blir en ny idé om vad det moderna borde vara, en idé som överlever 60-talet och lägger under sig allt större delar
