As global warming and more extreme weather makes the threat of flooding more prominent, it is vital to identify what can be done and by whom. The individual household preparedness is a big factor that this study aims to evaluate. The core of this study includes interviews with people living in high-risk areas for flooding in Malmoe, Sweden. The aim was to map out the motives behind the preparednes
Religionsfriheten är central i de mänskliga rättigheterna och inbegriper rätten att konvertera, det vill säga byta religion. Denna frihet är dock inte självklar överallt utan en person kan behöva söka internationellt skydd, asyl, om denne riskerar förföljelse, omänsklig behandling eller dödsstraff på grund av sin religiösa övertygelse i sitt ursprungsland. Vid asylutredning i Sverige där konversio
In this work company announcements of blockchain name changes are empirically analysed to obtain a sense of how markets value the blockchain technology. This “blockchain effect” is analysed using an event study in order to calculate cumulative abnormal returns for multiple event windows. The “blockchain effect” generates cumulative average abnormal return of 58 percent for the five days surroundin
Traditionally, work on road safety analysis is based on accident statistics, but usually not in a structured and systematic way. Accident statistics provide an indicator of which sites are prone to personal injuries but do not represent an adequate indicator for assessing the road safety situation of the sites. This master thesis has been developed in order to create an understanding that preventi
Any reading of ecological literature suggests unprecedented ecological losses due to human-induced climate changes. A pervasive emotional response to that is ecological grief. In Western cultures of unsustainability this remains largely unrecognized, which is indicative of their way of thinking and relating with Nature. According to the ecofeminist Val Plumwood it is the Master Identity (MI) at th
Bara var femte ung vuxen som cyklar i Malmö använder cykelhjälm, trots att vi alla känner till farorna som det innebär. Hur kommer det sig att det är så socialt accepterat att ta den här specifika risken? Vad är det som formar vårt beslut att inte använda cykelhjälm? I den här studien närmar vi oss de underliggande attityder som folk ibland hänvisar till när de försöker svara på frågan “varför anv
Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskvärdering av Ljungsätra äldreboende, beläget i Ljungby. Byggnaden uppfördes 1973, och består av 3 lägenhetshus med vardera 3 våningar sammanbyggda med en enplans-byggnad där stödjande verksamhet finns. Lägenhetshusen byggdes ut med en fjärde våning 2002. Vid ett platsbesök identifierades lägenhetshusen som de mest sårbara för en brand och efterföljande utrymn
This thesis investigates how to fulfill the Narrow Band - Internet of Things (NB-IoT) specification for a fully integrated transceiver in the phase locked loop's (PLL) perspective. Designing a fully integrated transceiver, integrating a power amplifier (PA) is challenging as it leads to frequency pulling of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in the PLL, deteriorating the performance. By i
Artificial intelligence is breaking new grounds each year and one of the most promising and extensively researched area of study in the field is the artificial neural networks. In this project, artificial neural networks are designed to help medical staff in estimating at an early stage what risk a patient has of developing serious postoperative complications after having undergone an oesophageal
Changes in water surface area (w.s.a.) in Arctic regions have been linked to climate warming and permafrost degradation (Briggs et al. 2014). As permafrost thaws, thermokarst lakes are formed. This causes the surface to get wetter. Although, a drying of the surface has often been observed in areas of discontinuous permafrost. As the climate warms, permafrost starts to thaw from underneath the lake
Networks have been recognized as an alternative internationalization approach for Professional Service Firms (PSFs). However, the exploration of tensions, which result from attempts to unite network members and at the same time support their diversity, has been rather neglected in the past. Furthermore, the role of local embeddedness in the presented setting seems to have been overlooked. We have
The recent geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West and the deconsolidation processes in Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries have recently sparked a debate on Russia’s foreign policy strategy. This thesis analyzes whether an increase in Russian economic activity in CEE is associated with a decline in the quality of governance in the region. As a proxy for the quality of governanc
This thesis makes a study on how regional innovation policies facilitate economic development in different regions of China from 2000 to 2014. To analyze this question, it chooses Beijing and Shenzhen as two case studies and describes regional innovation policies from two perspectives: new path development perspective and smart specialization perspective. Our results find that Beijing as a core re
The aim of this research was to uncover how gender transgressing practices are performed in male beauty vloggers’ makeup consumption and to contribute into the understanding of how men are constructing their gender identity when entering feminine consumption spaces. Positioned within the consumer culture theory field, the research aims to expands current perspectives on gendered consumption on a t
Title: System Dynamics Perspective on the Business Model for Sustainability: A Multiple Case Study in the Architecture Industry Purpose: The primary purpose of the study is to explain how the system dynamics between the Value Configuration, Partner Network, and Capabilities work in a Business Model for Sustainability of small and large architecture firms. Methodology: We followed an abductive, q
Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att bidra till befintlig forskning om dynamiska förmågor genom att undersöka om det finns några påtagliga skillnader mellan dynamiska förmågor i två managementkonsultbolag med olika grader av centralisering. Metod: Studien genomfördes genom en kvalitativ flerfallsstudie på Implement Consulting Group AB och Kvadrat AB. Den primära metoden för datainsamling var
Vid kallpressning av oljerika rapsfrön för att utvinna rapsolja blir det en pressrest kallad rapsfrökaka. Denna rapskaka har en hög proteinhalt och en aminosyrasammansättning bättre än flertalet andra vegetabilier. Förhoppningen är att detta kan utnyttjas i framtida livsmedelstillverkning. Raps innehåller en hög halt antinutrienter i form av glukosinolater, fenolföreningar och fytinsyra som efterWhen coldpressing rapeseeds in extraction of rapeseed oil, there becomes a pomace called rapeseed press rest. This rapeseed press rest has high protein content and an amino acid composition better than most other vegetables. Hopefully, rapeseed press rest can be used in future food production. Rapeseed contains a high level of antinutrients in the form of glucosinolates, phenolic compounds and ph
Sustainability has long been serving dominant political and economic interests under the guise of sustainable development. This political and economic co-option of sustainable development has given rise to a new slogan: “system change, not climate change”. Our crisis is no longer just an environmental one, but a structural one, in which our means of living have outdistanced the ends for which we l
