Full textWhilst the climate threat on earth increases, people’s own involvement in the issue increases with it. Several initiatives exist in the cities with the objective to create a better future for the earth than what is predicted today. Problems with overburdened stormwater systems and long transport distances for food are two of these climate threats that can be decreased with local management of stormwater respectively urban farming. Therefore the following report will examine the preferable way to create an interior wall for cultivation that is irrigated with pre-stored precipitation from the roof of a specific building in the project Haningeterrassen. For solving the task, literature studies, study visits and interviews have been the foundation for the work, which also have included a case study. This to get a better insight in how the whole system and a green wall should be designed for a specific building, in our case a house in the project Haningeterrassen. The goal with the project has been to form a proposal of a design solution of a green inner wall that can manage precipitation with planted culturing plants for example lettuce, tomato and basil. The following questions have been answered for the chosen building in Haningeterrassen: How can a green wall become a tool for the average person to use as a part of the sustainable city? How is a green wall best designed for managing the precipitation that lands on its building’s roof by being irrigated with it? The culturing plants in the wall contribute to the city’s sustainable development by reducing long transport distances for food for the users of the wall. And the usage of precipitation contributes to the city’s sustainable development by reducing the burden on the city’s stormwater systems. It is important to acknowledge that this green wall only is a proposal sketch. A continuation of the project is desirable.

Full textThe plant wall in the building at Teknikringen 78A was a starting point for this project, where collaboration between KTH, Vertical plants and examiners took place. The main focus was about exploring the plant wall and studying various influencing factors. There are many factors and sources that affect the environment we live in. Within the construction industry, daily emissions of hazardous pollutants affect the environment and diminish nature. For this reason, an environmentally friendly alternative solution like indoor plant walls was chosen to be studied. To provide a simple understanding for the reader of this report, work has begun with an international comparison of three leading companies in the field of plant walls whose unique systems were investigated. These three were Nedlaw, Naava and Vertical Plants System AB. Thereafter, various environmental certification systems were studied from the SGBC and the choice ended at BREEAM-SE. BREEAM-SE is a system that treats areas such as energy and indoor air quality issues, which are two significant factors influenced by a plant wall. The study was about investigating different indicators in areas and the plant wall's ability to contribute to scoring for the certification of a building. In addition, a thorough study of the cooling efficiency requirement was made in the building at Teknikringen 78A with different measurement values from the company that mounted the plant wall in the building and the property owner Akademiska hus. Using measurements, a conclusion could be drawn that plant walls really have a noticeable cooling effect contribution in the building, which in turn resulted in a reduction of the cooling efficiency requirement by at least about 10% without fan and about 20% with fan. In addition, the reasoning was presented about reducing the ventilation pipes dimension in the building to investigate whether or not to obtain economic and environmental savings using a plant wall. The result showed that you can save up to 36%. Finally, a study was conducted on all the benefits and cons of indoor plant walls, with focus on the environmental and health effects of the plants in general. This was done by the fact that there is actually no access to detailed information and knowledge of plant walls despite high demand in the market. The result of the study showed that plants in themselves contain many benefits to physical and mental health, the environment and society. Additionally, it appeared that a plant wall fulfills a significant aesthetic function in a local area. This report was completed with a summary of all results about the various parts presented above. Finally, it turned out that a plant wall is a lifelong investment in health and the environment and should be considered more often and become larger in an industry like this, since buildings branch is a brunch were a lot of emissions released into the environment.

Full textThe purpose of the essay was to analyze smaller IT companies that are in an expansion phase. The company that formed the basis of the study was the smaller IT company Cogitel.The research method of work was a case study, when the essay was the basic purpose to study and analyze a specific study object. This in-depth research was conducted in the form of qualitative method, for creating a basic knowledge of the study object of Cogitel and its development. Further, an inductive thinking was characterized by the qualitative approach and focused on interpreting man's subjective experience of the outside world. When collecting data, two types of data dimensions was used; primary data and secondary data. The material collected in the form of a qualitative method from the company in question was the data that constituted the empirical material. The primary method for collecting qualitative data that constituted the empirical material was carried out in the form of a semi-structured interview technique.To answer the research question, a theoretical model emerged and lay as a basis for the analysis. The conclusion was that based on the theories presented and collected empirical material, all theories were based on the fact that, as an organization, advantageous inter alia, should have well-defined goals and a clearly stated internal structure. There may be a strategy to be unstructured, which is strengthened by all theoretical assumptions, but needed a given purpose and be pronounced in order to create value for the core organization at Cogitel.

Full textGrowth is a unique challenge for the Armed Forces in modern times. After decades of settlements that have left behind an anorectic defense organization, the political pendulum has swung to where there now is a will for the Armed Forces to grow in both size and quality. This means that the recruitment must be improved and the staff who have previously been serving must be retained and developed. Extensive material renewals and new purchases must be made and new entities must be established. Politic will is clear - the military capability should increase. The challenge of growth has many dimensions and investments must be made in several perspectives - at the same time. The policy, which is based on a democratic process, and the Armed Forces agree that there is a security policy imbalance. Swedish defense capabilities are not considered to meet the threats that can be foreseen or that can be developed. There is a common perception that investments in the area of total defense is required. However, there is also a divergence between politicians and the Armed Forces' view on how to resolve the imbalance, where the policy has to take into account the labor market, employment and economy of Swedish companies. Instead, the Armed Forces are focused on having the right capability, and constantly developing this capability, in a complex situation and with a security policy that is difficult to predict. The survey also shows that there is a need for other supporting authorities to develop in line with the security policy, since the Swedish Armed Forces do not have solitary control on Swedish defense capabilities. The conclusions of the study are that growth requires an effective and balanced governmental cooperation at all levels. Furthermore, a change in attitude is needed based on trust all the way from politicians down to the individual soldier in order to reach the growth goals. In conclusion, the study shows that growth requires close cooperation between the political level, the Armed Forces and the supporting authorities.

Full textPurpose: To create well-functioning cities that promote diversity of life C/O City (2017) claims that ecosystem services must be implemented. An increased population and urbanization have led to a lack of green areas in urban environments. This has a negative effect on the environment and social ecology. To create sustainable, resilient and attractive cities, multifunctional green solutions must be implemented and contribute to ecosystem services. The aim of the thesis is therefore to give more knowledge about the city's ecosystem services and how vertical vegetation can improve the urban environment. Method: The qualitative data analyzed in this thesis consists of interviews, survey, a document- and literature study. The interviews are used to provide an in-depth understanding of municipalities and developers work with vertical vegetation as well ecosystem services. The survey is used to map municipalities work with vertical vegetation. The document- and literature study analyzes real examples and how they have been executed. Findings: Vertical vegetation have the potential to strengthen the urban environment in the city. These green walls can provide supporting, regulatory, cultural and provisoning ecosystem services. At present, vertical vegetation can influence and improve the microclimate, embellish harsh environments and to some extent strengthen biodiversity. To justify a large-scale establishment, the price of living walls must be reduced and only then could an improvement of the urban environment take place. Implications: In many cases, the cost exceeds the incentive for establishing living walls. A greater willingness is presented to strengthen the city's horizontal green structure and existing parks. At present, vertical vegetation mainly provide ecosystem services in a micro perspective. A large-scale establishment is needed to influence the city and the population as a whole. In the future, the work process can be improved by increasing communication between actors, establish requirements for the green space factor and motivating both developers and the individual to give higher priority to ecosystem services. The thesis should shed light on the problem and promote improvement. With the thesis as a basis, the municipalities work process can be improved. Limitations: The thesis doesn’t investigate how vertical vegetation are constructed, the technology, economic factors or vertical vegetation constructed indoors. The collected empirical evidence, on the other hand, indicates that economics has a significance in the matter. The sample for the survey has been limited to Sweden's 50 largest municipalities, based on inhabitants. Although the selection is limited geographically, the result is considered to be general. The collected empirical evidence indicates that the views on the subject are consistent and may therefore reflect the general views on vertical vegetation in Sweden.

Full textThe ground-based air defence of Sweden face some dire challenges in the near future. These have been caused by multiple converging reasons, the foremost of these being a change in the strategic situation in and around the Baltic Sea. This change has led to a publicly increased demand for army organic, ground based air defence capabilities. This in turn means that the government has ordered new systems to be introduced, both missile systems for intercepting airborne threats, new command and control systems and lastly, new communication systems. Parallel to the described shift in technology, recruitment through conscription has been reinstalled. The last part of this complex situation is comprised of maintaining all of the legacy systems for use by the national defence forces. Taking such a large technological step raises demands of recruiting a large amount of technologically interested young people. The aim of this study is to broaden the understanding of Sweden’s ability to succeed with this endeavour. We have interviewed conscripts during their basic training to become mechanics and maintenance personnel at the Lv 6 regiment in Halmstad. All our subjects have attended upper school and studied technology intended for preparing them for higher education. They are attractive to the general employment market and must be won in the battle for talent. This study has been designed using qualitative methods mainly comprised of individual interviews. The results from these interviews have been analysed using an inspired by grounded theory approach. Our results have then been analysed a second time on an organisational level and compared to findings in the area of Employer branding. Our main findings are that marketing and informational campaigns, carried out by the Swedish armed forces aren’t aimed towards this category of young people. They have no prior experience of the armed forces and the messages sent out are not registered by our subjects. Our study indicates that the parents and closest family project a large amount of influence on these young people. Sadly, this category of influencers also lacks knowledge and information about the armed forces. The studied category of young people chooses their employers through how well their interests match with the perceived job offering. All of this taken in mind raises a question of the ability to succeed with recruitment goals for this category of youths.

Full textBakgrund
Gaseller är små- och medelstora företag (SME: s) med hög tillväxttakt som konstant skapar nya arbetstillfällen och har en positiv inverkan på den svenska ekonomin. Många författare anser att en differentieringsfokus är mest lämpligt för SME: s för de ska kunna skapa konkurrensfördelar och tillväxt. Denna fokus är ett strategiskt val som underbyggs av innovationsförmåga. Dock, när konkurrensfördelen leder till snabb tillväxt så uppstår växtvärk. Följaktligen, vad händer med SME: s innovativa förmåga under snabb tillväxt och vidare, hur påverkar detta SME: s förmåga att uppnå långsiktig tillväxt?
Syfte
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur snabb tillväxt i SME: s påverkar deras förmåga att uppnå långsiktig tillväxt.
Metod
För att uppnå syftet med denna uppsats så har en jämförande analys utförts baserat på en holistisk undersökning av ett flertal case. Undersökningen inkluderade fem tillverkande SME: s belägna Jönköpings län som alla mottagit utmärkelsen ”Gasell” från den svenska finansiella tidningen Dagens Industri. Denna utmärkelse de-las ut till företag som fördubblat sin omsättning under en period av tre år samtidigt som de haft positiv tillväxt och en stabil ekonomisk situation (DI, 2005).
Slutsats
Efter att ha analyserat de empiriska resultaten med passande teori kunde några övergripande slutsatser dras. Studien kunde visa att den växtvärk som ofta uppstår i SME: s som genomgår en period av snabb tillväxt påverkar den interna organisationen att anpassa sig till ökad komplexitet och resursbrist på ett sätt som har en negativ påverkan på deras innovativa förmåga. Det fanns också tendenser att detta i sin tur hade negativ effekt på SME: s förmåga att växa i ett långsiktigt perspektiv.
Background
Gazelles are high growth Small Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) that constantly are creating new job-opportunities and contributing positively to the Swedish economy. In order to achieve competitive advantage and growth for SMEs, several authors argue that a focus on differentiation is most suitable, which is a strategic approach mainly underpinned by innovative ability. However, when competitive advantage leads to rapid growth certain growing pains occur. Thus, when SMEs are growing rapidly, what happens to their innovative ability and further how does this affect their long-term growth?
Purpose
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how rapid growth in SMEs affects their ability to attain long-term growth.
Method
In order to fulfil the purpose, a comparison analysis has been conducted based on a holistic multi-case study. The cases included five manufacturing SMEs in Jönköping County, of which all have been appointed the Gazelle-award issued by the Swedish financial newspaper Dagens Industri. This award is given to companies that have doubled its turnover in three years, while simultaneously having positive growth and a stable economical situation.
Conclusion
After analysing the empirical results with appropriate theories, some main conclusions could be reached. The study could demonstrate that the growing pains, often emerging in SMEs experiencing rapid growth, influence the organization to adapt itself to the increasing complexity and resource constraints in a way that has a negative affect on the their innovative ability. There was further some support that this in turn had a negative affect on SMEs ability to grow in a long-term per-spective.

Full textThe market and demand for used products is increasing year on year. However, this has not decreased our usage of the planet’s resources. Many products have the potential to be recycled more effectively. The production of textiles and electronics has a significant negative effect on the climate. Such products lack an easy and intuitive system for reuse, which would reduce such negative effects. There is a demand for new concepts regarding reuse brought about by the increasing population and density of Stockholm. Demands for easy access and public knowledge about recycling are crucial for progress. This report will focus on the sustainable goals established by the UN: ecological, social and economic sustainability and will propose a conceptual idea and a building where the concept will be applied. The concept will propose suggestions based on reports by Naturvårdsverket (Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) and the City of Stockholm, to show how recycling can be integrated into urban areas. This will provide a solution to today’s needs and also facilitate social and economic growth in the area. The project has resulted in draft documents through literature studies and planning for a building situated in Rinkeby, a suburb northwest outside of Stockholm. The building will be planned in line with the building’s operational area requirements and pre-requisites. The building’s aesthetics are drawn from the idea of a pronounced separation between the operations, which will be amplified by the design of the facades. Additionally, it will contribute to the quality of its environment with the use of green walls and a bicycle station. The project shows of positive qualities that a conceptual building can enrich a neighborhood through ecological, social and economical sustainability.

Full textTidigare litteratur har omfattat studerat tillväxten och dess inverkan på företag. Den generella uppfattningen är att tillväxten resulterar i ett behov av professionalisering inom företagen, i vilket styrningen formaliseras. Däremot har tillväxtens och professionaliseringens inverkan på familjariteten inom företag studerats i begränsad omfattning. Den tidigare litteratur som behandlat fenomenet har argumenterat för att professionaliseringen har en negativ inverkan på företags familjaritet, och att det resulterar i att organisationerna förlorar den familjaritet de tidigare präglats av. Studien syftar således till att undersöka och skapa förståelse för hur företag som växer kan balansera professionalism och familjaritet. Studien ämnar även undersöka hur organisationer hanterat tillväxten och hur de lyckats överkomma de problem som detta medfört, med särskilt fokus på hur relationen mellan familjaritet och professionalism utvecklats. Denna studie har undersökt två företag vilka båda upplevt tillväxt, och vilka befann sig i olika faser av deras professionaliseringsprocess. Genom intervjuer med organisationernas företagsledare såväl som anställda har studien undersökt hur tillväxten har påverkat företagen och vad den haft för inverkan på företagens behov av professionalisering. Studien har även behandlat tillväxtens och professionaliseringens inverkan på familjariteten inom företagen, samt vilka utmaningar som företagen upplevt till följd av denna process. Studiens resultat tyder på att tillväxten har en negativ inverkan på företagens familjaritet, men att professionaliseringen endast har positiva effekter. Professionaliseringen har varit ett verktyg för företagen att bevara familjariteten och även förstärka denna. Vidare visar studiens resultat att det är möjligt att formalisera den informella styrningen, och att detta är ett verktyg vilka företagen kan använda för att stärka familjariteten. Företagens största utmaning vid tillväxt och professionalisering är rekryteringen och socialiseringen av de nyanställda mot företagets kultur, vilket har en tydlig inverkan på företagets familjaritet.

Full textPurpose: A slow development of living walls in Sweden is partly due to lack of experience and knowledge in the construction industry. Former studies point at challenges of adapting the technique in a Swedish climate and the importance of planning, knowledge and cooperation for the maintenance. The objective of the study is to analyse a sustainable maintenance by technique and maintenance planning of the system living walls in order to answer these challenges. Method: The study is based on a qualitative approach where the methods are document analysis, interview and observation. Document analysis gives a status report of the implemented living walls in Sweden and introduces strategies for maintenance planning. Interview with relevant participants contributes with experiences concerning technique, maintenance and maintenance planning. Observation confirms the information about the technique. Findings: The study shows that none of the observed solutions can be considered completely sustainable, though they do have some sustainable qualities. Living walls have strong social and ecological benefits, where the vegetation contributes to increase ecosystem services in urban environment. A less use of resources is necessary for a sustainable technique where the use of stormwater, local resistant plants, lasting construction and recycled components promotes a sustainable environment and economy. The felt system is simpler in its design while the modular system is more flexible. A common objective among the observed projects is to create a maintenance-free solution as possible. Acceptance for resting plants during winter can lower the demands of the maintenance. Technical monitoring facilitates the maintenance but the manual handling of living walls is crucial. The frequency of the maintenance varies from each project where the client’s choice, placement of the wall, type of solution, size, plant choice and season affect. Therefore, it is important with planning and constantly evaluating a walls needs. The majority of the observed projects do not have a maintenance plan but the study shows success by a common objective, site analysis, goal-oriented maintenance plan and experience feedback. Implications: The conclusion of the study is that the technique of living walls needs to be evolved to leave a smaller footprint on the environment and the economy. The development is towards a maintenance-free solution but the manual handling can not be replaced by advanced technique. Every projects individual conditions demands thorough planning and continuous evaluation of the wall. Limitations: The study discuss living walls in the Swedish urban climate, where the result is based on experiences from projects developed in the southern part of Sweden. Other geographical placement causes different conditions for technique and maintenance. General assumptions can be made concerning the maintenance planning. More interviews with maintenance staff can contribute with other aspects to the analysis.

Full textWhen buildings are designed climate files from 1981 to 2010 are used to construct the building and its energy system. This leads to building being designed to a climate that has been and not to a future warmer climate that will come. SMHI has developed different climate scenarios for the future that describe different paths the climate can take depending on continued emissions of greenhouse gas. This climate scenarios are called RCP (Representative Concentration Pathways) In this study two of the climate scenarios, RCP4,5 and RCP8,5 are used. The number in the name stands for the radiation forcing that is expected in the year 2100. In RCP4,5 the mean average air temperature will increase with 3 °C until year 2100 compared to the reference period 1961-1990. In the same time period RCP8,5 will increase with 5 °C. An apartment building certified according to Miljöbyggnad 2.2 level silver placed in Vallentuna, Stockholms län is used as a reference building. The building is simulated through the simulation software program IDA ICE where it´s exposed to RCP4,5 and RCP8,5. The results demonstrate that the reference building would not meet Miljöbyggnad 2.2 requirement in the indicator about thermal comfort during summer. The operative temperature in the building is too high unless comfort cooling is used. The design of the building changes to see what factors can improve the results regarding the thermal comfort. The results demonstrate that thermal conductivity and solar shading has the greatest impact on thermal comfort. In this study several combinations of different building designs were made. Only the combination of a concrete frame with windows with low g-value met the requirement of Miljöbyggnad 2.2 regarding the thermal comfort during summer without using comfort cooling in RCP4,5 and RCP8,5. The combination had the lowest energy demand in RCP8,5 of all the combinations tested in the study. A combination of cross laminated wood frame with low U-value, windows with low g-value and comfort cooling had the lowest energy demand in the original climate file and RCP4,5 despite the use of comfort cooling. The questing about which building construction is the best from a sustainable perspective is difficult to answer. To answer that question the building´s total climate footprint in both production and use must be calculated. Regardless of the choice of building construction it is important to have in mind when designing a building that comfort cooling and solar shading should be easily applied when a warmer climate will prevail.
