One of the greatest challenges for the world today is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As buildings contribute to almost a quarter of the greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, reducing the energy use of the existing building stock is an important measure for climate change mitigation. In order to increase the renovation pace, there is a need for a comprehensive technicaldocumentation that

Net Zero Energy Buildings constitute one measure to reduce energy use and increase use of energy from renewable sources. Hence, it is important share knowledge and experiences from completed projects. This case study show that it is possible to build Net Zero Energy Buildings with existing techniques. However, a common strategy to prevent or limit the build-up of ice and frost in ventilation heat

The thesis addresses a practical problem that has recently emerged on the Swedish public procurement law agenda; the fact that a considerable number of initiated tender procedures are cancelled by the contracting authority. During the last decade, the number of cancelled tenders has increased yearly and in 2017 over 13 percent of the initiated procedures governed by the EU public procurement regul

This study explores the impact an exogenous improvement in childhood health has on later-life outcomes. Using extensive and detailed register data from the Swedish Interdisciplinary Panel covering up to 2011, we follow individuals exposed to the introduction of the first vaccine against polio in Sweden (birth cohorts 1937–1966) until adulthood in order to quantify the causal effect of polio vaccin

In this paper I discuss how blockchains potentially could affect the way creditrisk is modeled, and how the improved trust and timing associated with blockchain-enabled real-time accounting could improve default prediction. To demonstrate the (quite substantial) effect the change would have on well-known credit risk measures, a simple case-study compares Z-scores and Merton distances to default coIn this paper I discuss how blockchains potentially could affect the way credit risk is modeled, and how the improved trust and timing associated with blockchain-enabled real-time accounting could improve default prediction.

Background: There are but a few studies of how persons with autism perceive and experience their bodies and movements. Having autism may mean difficulty with verbalizing these experiences. Difficulties in perceiving the surrounding world along with disturbed motor coordination and executive functions may affect physical and psychological development. Exploring possibilities to capture the experien

Kapitlet ingår i antologin "Creating the City. Identity, Memory and Participation. Conference proceedings" som är utgiven av Malmö universitet som Open access (). Kapitlet handlar om hur olika former av historiebruk bidrar till att skapa bilder av städer där vissa fenomen och människor innesluts, medan andra hamnar utanför normen för hur historia ska och bör berättas. Den empiriska utgångspunkten

Kapitlet handlar om hur migrerande kvinnor hanterar de nya platser de flyttar till, samt hur de hanterar övergångar mellan olika platser. Utgångspunkten är ett kvinnoöde i Rosengård.

Artikeln behandlar migrerande kvinnors hantering av platserna de kommer till. Utgångspunkten är hur identitetsmässiga förändringar sker relaterat till platser. Empiriskt utgår artikeln från två kvinnoöden av ganska olika karaktär.

Humans perceive colours in categories such as red, even though we can discernred hues including ruby and crimson. It emerges that birds also categorizecolours and this affects their colour-discrimination ability.

Bidraget behandlar hur etnografi kan bedrivas i en mer kreativ riktning och vikten av att bryta mot inarbetade procedurer och normer inom forskning.

Artikeln syftar till att problematisera kategoriseringar och deras användning. Artikeln pläderar för en mer elastisk och mångfacetterad syn på kategorier och de människor vi placerar in i dem.
