  1. 11. Modelling solar access at the window level of buildings – a case study for urban densification simulations in Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Kendall Hartman; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; CityJSON; 3D City Model; solar energy; solar urban planning; sustainable urban development; NS building; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. READ MORE

    Abstract : To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. READ MORE

  3. 13. Refugee local integration: Local governments as stakeholders in the implementation of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework in Uganda.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för samhällsstudier (SS)

    Author : Nyende Keith Mark; [2021]
    Keywords : CRRF; Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework; GCR; Global Compact for Refugees; Refugees; Forced Displacement; Integration; Local Integration; Local Government; Decentralization; Refugee Policy; Triple Nexus; Humanitarian-Development-Peace Nexus; Uganda.;

    Abstract : In 2016, member states of the United Nations, by consensus, adopted the New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants, in which they also agreed to the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF). The framework, arguing for a multi-stakeholder inclusive approach that includes local authorities, was suggested to be a progressive step in establishing an international regime offering predictability in dealing with large scale refugee movements, placing focus on self-reliance, economic inclusion, and support for both refugees and host communities.

    Abstract : To keep up with the rapidly increasing global population, a significant increase in production of protein foods is required. The environmental impact of the meat industry, in combination with consumer awareness, calls for this food production to become more sustainable. READ MORE

  5. 15. A Quadrature Frequency Generation Chain for Direct-conversion Phased-array 5G Transceivers

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Hamid Yadegar Amin; [2020]
    Keywords : 5G Phased array mm-wave FR2; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The 5th generation (5G) has recently specified a new spectrum range, FR2- 5G New Radio (5G-NR), to provide higher spectral efficiency and channel capacity for ubiquitous cellular connectivity where the user ends can be in various types such as picocell stations, sensor nodes, cloud servers, hand-held devices, and so on. Due to the advantage of phased array antennas in performing beam-forming, and improving SNR at higher spectra, multi-antenna systems have gained an inevitable role in developing such radios. READ MORE
