At Bromma Stockholm Airport, fire drills have previously been performed at a location outside the current airport confinements. Fire drills were performed with extinguisher foams containing toxic perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), which have polluted the site. Harmful effects of PFOS include but are not limited to damages to the endocrine system. The contaminant is relatively soluble and can be transported by water. The aim of this thesis was to model groundwater flows and PFOS transport in the area. In order to build the model, data was gathered from databases, literature studies and field investigations. The field investigations included geophysical measurements. The model was built in the software Visual MODFLOW Classic. It was used to increase knowledge of hydrogeological conditions in the area, predict the fate of PFOS leaching from the site and suggest preventative measures for preventing the spread. The model results showed that the contaminant is transported towards the current airport area by means of groundwater at a slow rate and with low concentrations. Additionally, high concentrations of PFOS will remain in soil and groundwater at the study area for several hundreds of years, according to model results. Preventative measures should therefore be focused on minimizing risks to frequent visitors to the site, which is currently used as a golf course.

Chasing Butterflies is a city planning/landscape proposal for Bromma Airport that strives to: • Imagine a future eco-city through a biophilic lens. • Apply biophilic ideas relating to plants.   • Move towards meeting the criteria set-up by Stockholm´s municipality. • React to the proposal “Bromma Parkstad” by the Swedish Environmentalist party. The method consisted of:  • Support design decisions by referring to scientific data and theories from the course Trädgårdens Biologi, orienteringskurs (Introduction to Garden Biology) at Stockholm University and other scientific articles relating to the subject such as phytoremediation (decontamination through vegetation), pollination and the history of Bromma Airport. • Literature research on the following topics: the history of the Swedish allotment movement, the biophilic ideology, greenhouse living, environmental psychology, landscape theories regarding non-human migration patterns and ecological theories concerning pollination.  • Searching through digital archives of governmental/municipality reports.  Thesis question: How can architecture help generate biodiversity and how can non-human actors be integrated into a new eco-city at Bromma Airport?    Different types of cultivated land (allotments, private gardens, community gardens, parks, urban farming, and greenhouses) have been studied to investigate how architecture can help generate biodiversity on multiple scales.  Furthermore, there are several so called "forever chemicals" present at the site. For Bromma Airport to become inhabitable, the soil would have to go through a thorough cleans, where the use of plants is the most efficient alternative.  The strategy is to: • Keep all material on-site, since relocating to a different site would only move the problem.  • Use plants for cleansing and letting the land heal in its own time. • Maximize different types of cultivated land in an urban environment.

Uppsatsen undersöker och beskriver motstånd motförtätning i Stora Mossen, en välbeställd villaförort angränsande Stockholms innerstad. Materialet speglas i relation till fysisk plats (space), hur motstånd skapas och rättfärdigas i samspel med omgivningar och de sociala förutsättningar som sätts utav dem. Motståndet är som sådant en spegling av det liv och de förutsättningar som existerar i Stora Mossen med omnejd, och står därmed inte nödvändigtvis i relation till staden eller länet i stort. Underlaget är inhämtatunder vintern 2011/2012 och består av offentligt material från kommunala utskott, kontor och styrelser; skriftliga klagomål från och halvstrukturerade intervjuer med närboende samt observationer utförda på plats. / Thesis concern local resistance to densification projects in Stora Mossen, a well-off suburb to Stockholm. The material shows how resistance is formed and shaped in relation to space, as a part of life and the economic and social situation of the concerned area as opposed to the metropolitan area at large. Source material consists of public material, written complaints, semi-structured interviews with informants as well as field observations performed during the winter 2011-2012.

I ett nedlagt bryggeri har två silobyggnader omvandlats till bostäder. Som alternativ till nybyggnation undersöker projektet omprogrammering av befintliga byggnader. Silobygnnaderna är en del av det nedlagda Prippsbryggeriet i Ulvsunda Industriområde och står tomma. Deras Storlek ock säregenhet gör dem till landmärken i området. Stockholm Stad planerar rivning och nybyggnad av bostäder för ulvsunda industriområde. Detta arbete blir ett undersökning av ett alternativt sätt att omforma området –med utgångpunkt i det befintliga. De två silobyggnaderna bildar en mötespunkt mellan tunnelbana/tvärbana och en ny strandpromenad. Denna kopplar samtidigt samman den nya platsen med omkringliggande nutur- och bostadsområden. Målet är att skapa en plats och bostäder med rumsliga kvaliteer utifrån de befintliga strukturerna.

My thesis, "BMA (Bromma airport) / BEURA (Bromma experimental urban recycling association), an adaptive rebirth", explores the potential for an evolution of self-built circular inhabitation on the airport runway of Bromma through adaptive reuse and circular construction. The Bromma Airport in Stockholm is set to cease operation by 2038, leaving behind a vast expanse of infrastructure that could be repurposed for other uses. Instead of a late termination of the air traffic tenure, my proposal calls for the airport to be shut down immediately in favor of evolving dwellings on the site through community-based dynamic urban planning. This alternative plan for the future of Bromma Airport considers how the extensive flat surface of concrete that the runway provides can be utilized for slabs and foundations in circular construction and adaptive reuse for self-built dwellings.  My project aims to critique and challenge the current "housing as a commodity" discourse and argues for a greater qualitative approach to urban planning. Rather than focusing, for instance, on the number of dwellings, my proposal emphasizes the integration of different functions, community engagement, and the evolution of dwellings according to needs and supply/ability. By planning for a sustainable, community-focused inhabitation that prioritizes shared spaces and sustainable living practices, my proposal offers a model for future urban planning projects that prioritize qualitative measures beyond the obsolete urban planning trinity equilibrium of economic, social and ecological sustainability.

Customers put their printing suppliers to severe claims for shorter production time and faster deliveries.Printers always look for new solutions to increase the satisfaction of their customers. Oneexample of such a solution is web to print, where the customers book their printed matters atInternet.The solution involves design of printed matter by using templates that are made unique for thecustomer's printed matter. Web to print is suitable for reiterated printed matters. By using templatesthe customer doesn´t have to redo their layout for every new edition. Bromma tryck AB hasinvested the system CiPublisher, which is applied for the customer to make their printed matter atInternet.The purpose of the examination work is to investigate the needs of the customers of Brommatryck for a web to print solution and how such a system should be adapted.The result shows that the customer who is in need of a web to print solution wish such a system tobe easy managed and also usable. The customer inquiry also shows that most of the customers primarydesire for start using such a solution is that it will save time and also simplify the process formanufacturing of printing matters.

Autism diagnoses are on the rise and part of the explanation is that society is making increasing demands on us and our brains. Autism is largely about how we perceive and interpret our surroundings, so there should be opportunities to support people with autism through thoughtful architecture to reduce stress levels and save energy. What is autism-friendly architecture and what might it look like?  In this project, I have designed a service residence (a type of LSS accommodation) for adults diagnosed with autism. By reviewing relevant literature and reference projects on the topic, I have tried to find keys on how to design a home that can support a person with autism. The overall objectives of the design are to reduce stress, enhance the individual's independence and support social interaction. The architectural aspects I have mainly worked on to achieve this are daylight, views, visual connections and boundaries and the organisation of the programme. Since people with autism have, among other symptoms, a different sensory experience often being hyper- or hypersensitivity to sensory input, an autism-friendly architecture is very much about designing for the senses.  The conclusion is that accommodation suitable for a person with an autism diagnosis can suit most people. It’s more about avoiding certain things that may be experienced as disturbing in different ways by people with autism, rather than adding special features.

The aeration step is the most energy consuming process in the wastewater treatment plant, i.e. making the energy usage in this step more efficient is of great concern both in Sweden and world wide. There are some examples of previous studies investigating ways to make the ae- ration control more efficient, though most of these have focused on for example ammonium feedback control rather than blower control which is the main focus of this study. Bromma wastewater treatment plant installed three new blowers in december 2016 functioning as suppliers of air to the aeration step in the bioreactor. Since there are still three old blowers operating at the WWTP, there is a need to control two different types of blowers efficiently. This is challenging since the two blower types have different capacities, efficiency and maxi- mum/minimum air flows and a control strategy that optimizes the operation of these two blower types combined needs to take this into account. Operational data for the blowers was used to generate a second grade polynome for each blower type which gives the efficiency as a function of produced air flow. These polynomes were further utilized to build a script in MATLAB that chooses the most efficient number of blowers operating and at what air flows for a certain total aeration need. The least square method was used to calibrate a model for calculating energy consumption for the simulated control strate- gy. Calculations for energy consumption from the current control strategy and another strategy proposed by the blower deliverer Sulzer were made in order to decide whether the optimized control strategy was an improvement or not. The simulation results and the calculations for energy consumption indicates that the current control strategy at Bromma WWTP is almost as effective as the optimized control strategy. Both strategies sets the new blowers at the first places in the queue. The optimized strategy appears to be more efficient for flows that requires both new and old blowers operating. From the calculations of energy consumption, it was shown that the control strategy from Sulzer de- mands an energy consumption on levels in between the one for the current control strategy and the optimized control strategy. / Luftningssteget är den mest energikrävande processen i ett avloppsreningsverk. Det finns därför incitament till att effektivisera energianvändningen då en minskad elförbrukning är positivt både ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv och ur ett resursmässigt perspektiv. Energibesparingar från luftningssteget har undersökts tidigare genom att främst studera optimering av syreregleringen och luftregulatorn. Det här projektet syftar till att uppnå en minskad effektförbrukning på Bromma reningsverk genom att optimera blåsmaskinsregulatorn, ett mer outforskat forskningsfält.  På Bromma reningsverk installerades den 16 december 2016 tre nya blåsmaskiner som ska försörja luftningssteget i den biologiska reningen med luft. Det innebär att det finns två olika typer av blåsmaskiner som är i drift på Bromma: den gamla modellen (HST9000) och den nya modellen (HST40). Då dessa två olika typer av blåsmaskiner har olika kapacitet och verkningsgrad är det viktigt att blåsmaskinsregulatorn använder en styrstrategi som ställer dessa maskiner i kö på ett optimalt energieffektivt sätt. Det är även viktigt att i så stor utsträckning som möjligt låta maskinerna generera luftflöden nära sin högsta verkningsgrad.  Driftinformation för blåsmaskinerna användes för att med hjälp av beräkningar i MATLAB kunna välja ut det effektivaste antalet maskiner i drift, avgöra vilken typ av maskiner som ska användas samt vilket luftflöde respektive maskin ska generera vid ett specifikt luftflödesbehov. Målet var att hitta en optimal styrstrategi för Bromma reningsverk, samt att undersöka om det fanns möjligheter till energibesparingar jämfört med nuvarande implementerade styrstrategi. Effektförbrukningsberäkningar gjordes för både den simulerade optimerade styrstrategin och den nuvarande. Ytterligare en styrstrategi, föreslagen av blåsmaskinsleverantören Sulzer, undersöktes också ur ett energiförbrukningsperspektiv för jämförelse.  Resultatet av simuleringen och effektberäkningen indikerar att den nuvarande styrningen i princip är lika energieffektiv som den simulerade optimala styrningen. I båda fallen kopplas de nya maskinerna in i första hand. Dock visar resultatet på att den simulerade styrningen är effektivare vid flöden där det krävs att de gamla blåsmaskinerna sätts i drift. Sulzers föreslagna styrstrategi är mer energieffektiv än nuvarande styrning, men inte lika effektiv som den optimerade styrstrategin.

The Swedish citizens' trust towards politics is decreasing. This examination's purpose is to investigate the citizens' trust towards the Swedish parliament, government and social institutions in the two Swedish suburbs Skarpnäck and Bromma. This is being studied through Robert D Putnam's theory of social capital and how social capital is affecting people's trust towards each other and Swedish politics. This is being researched based on these questions: “How does the trust look towards the parliament, government and social institutions in Skarpnäck and Bromma'' and the subquestion “What possible explanations are there for the difference in trust between Skarpnäck and Bromma.” The second question is “How does Putnam's definition of Social capital differ between Skarpnäck and Bromma” and the subquestion “Is a bigger social capital the explanation for a higher trust in the two studied areas?”. Data for this research has been collected through the triangulation method thus with a method of quantity and a method of quality. The method of quantity is executed through two surveys and the method of quality is executed with semi- structured interviews. The study shows a result of a difference in trust between the two suburbs where the citizens of Bromma have a higher level of trust towards the parliament and social institutions. The citizens of Skarpnäck have a higher level of trust towards the government. This study displays the fact that Robert D. Putnam's definition of social capital regarding network and norm can not be used to explain the difference in trust. Instead this research shows that the political standing point regarding what party you vote for, political knowledge and political interest is a bigger contributing factor with reference to trust towards politics and social institutions.
