Abstract This thesis is an evaluation of piezoelectric speaker drivers for loudspeaker design. It goes through the electrical and sound generating properties of the speaker drivers and general theory of piezoelectric speaker drivers. A prototype single speaker driver loudspeaker has been realized and evaluated by measuring the frequency response and sound pressure level (SPL), total harmonic disto

In Oslo, small-scale private landlords dominate the private rental sector (PRS). The characteristic ownership structure has given way to intermediary actors, such as letting agents and online platforms, operating between landlords and tenants. The findings of this thesis show that intermediaries in the Oslo PRS do not play the role as neutral middlemen, but on the contrary represent the market int

För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vidAt present, the construction industry accounts for a significant part of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. Resource efficiency is low and the raw materials currently used are not utilized in an efficient manner. There is no doubt that the consumption of natural resources is a problem, something that can be improved by, for example, increasing the degree of reuse in the material flow an

Utvärdering av ett europeiskt ramverk för riskhantering -vid transport av farligt gods på väg och järnväg Förbättring av säkerheten kring transport av farligt gods kräver ett utvecklande arbete kring hur riskhantering genomförs av involverade aktörer. Ett steg på vägen är att lägga en grund för hur riskanalyser bör genomföras. Detta undersöks där fokus ligger på ett nyligen framtaget europeiskt rRisk assessment is an important part of societal planning which includes evaluation and risk estimations regarding transportation of dangerous goods. There are several methods available for varying purposes connected to risk analysis of dangerous goods. These methods can contain varying assumptions and calculations regarding different parts of risk estimation. In order to develop an appropriat

Akademi och bransch har över decennier identifierat faktorer som påverkar folks val av färdsätt. Faktorerna har i förlängningen föranlett en lång rad av åtgärder som visat sig kunna öka kollektivtrafikens marknadsandel, vilket är avgörande för ett mer hållbart transportsystem. Dock innebär såväl skiljande omständigheter som sammanfallande åtgärdsimplementeringar en kunskapslucka kring vilka effektFactors determining the modal choice of travellers have been identified in plenty by both academia and the transport sector. In turn, these have provided an array of measures and strategies proven effective in increasing ridership—necessary to ensure a sustainable transport system.

Oorganiska karbonylkomplex med en antimalarisk ligand Under 2022 insjuknade 249 miljoner människor i Malaria, varav 608 000 avled. Malaria orsakas av parasiter från släktet Plasmodium och sprids via myggor. Redan på 1600-talet användes kinin, som extraherades från det sydamerikanska Kinaträdet, för att behandla Malaria. Fram till det tidiga 1900talet var kinin den huvudsakliga behandlingen för sjuAbstract Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite infects hundreds of millions of people each year. Chloroquine is the commonly used drug therapy but resistance to the medication has been rising steadily. New antimalarial candidates have been found by creating inorganic complexes with different transition metals and chloroquine analogues as ligands. In this project, five new complexes were creat
