Undeniably, ‘Short Food Supply Chains’ (SFSCs) or, in Dutch, ‘korte ketens’ are on the minds of policymakers and visionaries in the Netherlands. In addition, the concept has given rise to multiple small-scale initiatives. This research explores the many stories and motives behind these initiatives, as well as any other practices that are committed to SFSCs in the city of Amsterdam. Firstly, an att

An increase of cycling is known to increase health, lower gas-emissions and lower traffic-congestion. In cities with a high modal-share of bicycling, a higher quality of life can be measured. “Supercykelvägar” in The Netherlands and Denmark are defined as forming the backbone of the regional cycling-network. Malmö is planning to implement six routes of “supercykelvägar” within the city and the firÖkad cykling leder till bättre folkhälsa, mindre utsläpp, mindre trafikköer och forskning visar att det, i städer, finns ett samband mellan höga färdmedelsandelar cykling och livskvalitet. Kapacitetsstarka pendlingsstråk för cykel, även kallade ”Supercykelvägar”, ska byggas i Malmö och de förväntas uppfylla kvalitetskrav gällande tillgänglighet, framkomlighet, säkerhet, trygghet, komfort och ident

Forskning vid Lunds Universitet har lett till nanotrådar som odlas i tunna aluminium-membran, vilket gör trådarna betydligt mer motståndskraftiga mot fukt, värme och annat som kan skada dem. Detta projekt utnyttjar röntgenstrålars interaktioner med materia för att studera hur trådarna växer med målet att informera framtida forskning. Alltsedan Wilhelm Konrad Röntgen upptäckte röntgenstrålar år 189The past decade has seen a great interest in the development of metal halide perovskite materials for use in photo-optical devices, due to the excellent photo-optical properties of these materials. The primary limitation to industrial adoption, and the subject of much research, is the susceptibility of these materials to degradation from exposure to various factors such as air, heat and moisture.

The rise of China and 1978-market reforms contrasts other post-socialist economies process of institutional and economic change. President Deng Xiaoping announced China’s continued commitment to socialism, yet his leadership is by some viewed to be the most radical social and economic transformation in contemporary Chinese history. One of the most extraordinary aspects of the Chinese reform period

Despite achieving sustained growth for the past two decades, Indonesia is still regarded as a moderately high-inequality country. One of the most plausible explanations in the changing pattern of its structural transformation, which could be caused as a result of increasing global integration in Indonesia. Therefore, using panel data regression, this study aims to investigate the impact of trade o

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sustainability action can increase investment efficiency in relatively difficult industries. The study is conducted quantitatively. The ESG Score and the financial data are taken from Revinitiv (Popularly known as Thomson Reuters). The financial data are combined and calculated to make the control variables and investment efficiency. And the stud

This thesis explores two contemporary artists’ use of digital technology, whose work deal with the question of how technology determines the way we perceive space. As a background to these explorations, I discuss how spaces relates to technology in visual culture through art history with examples of specific Chinese and western landscape paintings. I look at Martin Heidegger’s definition of techno

This thesis attends to vulnerability and precarity within visual representation by analysing the negative affects bound to the experience of social exclusion. The study explores what it might mean to embrace and not overcome 'bad feelings' like shame and alienation using the visual example of an elderly prostitute–a ‘Bacchus Lady’– in E J-yong's 2016 film The Bacchus Lady.

Abstract: The gender-equality paradox is the phenomenon of finding more developed, egalitarian countries generally experience higher gender equality while, for example, having a relatively low share of female graduates from STEM fields in tertiary education. The presence of the paradox in several developed egalitarian countries indicates that the female share of STEM graduates must be influenced b

Ledningsrätt är den rättighet med vilken allmänna ledningar upplåts på andras fastigheter. När det finns en avvikelse mellan ledningens och ledningsrättens läge kan det innebära både att ledningen saknar upplåtelse och att ledningsrätten inte längre är juridiskt gällande. En genomlysning av denna problematik görs för att optimera ledningsrättsupplåtelser. Att ledningsrätter förlorar sin giltighet When there’s a discrepancy in location between a conduit and its corresponding utility easement, it’s a problem for both the conduit which lacks a right that secures it and for the utility easement itself because it might have lost its juridical validity. Every utility easement that lapses, and has to be de-registered, is a waste of resources. The delays have a negative impact on the development o

Given the widespread underemployment in Africa, on-the-job search represents a key channel through which individuals seek better employment oppor- tunities that value their skills and competences. However, empirical research on the determinants of on-the-job search has almost exclusively been conducted in advanced economies. The study aims to identify the determinants of on-the-job search among di

Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att implementera en tidigare modellerad kromatografisk adsorptionsprocess från MatLab till Modelon Impact, en simuleringsmjukvara. Modelon Im-pact använder sig av Modelica som syntax som i sin tur är användbart för skapandet av stora system av sammankopplade modeller som kan fungera i olika konfigurationer.

För att nå Sveriges transportpolitiska mål är krävs det att fler väljer cykeln som huvudsakligt färdmedel. Genom att prioritera cyklisters trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet ökar attraktiviteten vilket gör att fler väljer att cykla. I denna studie har tre korsningar i Malmö analyserats med avseende på trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet där syftet var att undersöka hur trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet In order to achieve Sweden's transport policy goals, it is required that more people choose the bicycle as their main mode of transport. By prioritizing cyclists' traffic safety and level of service, attractiveness increases, which means that more people choose to cycle. In this study, three intersections in Malmö have been analyzed with regard to traffic safety and level of service, where

It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc

Automatiska 3D modeller av hjärtan med medfödda hjärtfel med hjälp av AI Tänk om du kan titta på ett hjärta innan du ska operera på en patient. Detta är möjligt genom att skapa en 3D modell av hjärtat. Detta görs bara på några få patienter om året men tack vara det här arbetet så kan 3D modeller skapas för fler patienter och därmed öka patientsäkerheten. På Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund så 3D segmentations of hearts with congenital heart defects are routinely used today. They are used to study hearts and to prepare before surgery which makes them an important part of patient care. The 3D segmentations are usually created manually, which is a time-consuming process. By automating this process, less time can be spent creating these models, and more time can be spend on patient care.

The steel industry in Sweden is responsible for 10% of the annual Swedish CO2 emissions. As a way to abate this sector, H2 Green Steel are establishing a new green steel production site in Boden. Their way of producing steel, through the EAF route and by using hydrogen-reduced DRI will reduce the CO2 emissions by over 90%. Besides iron ore, steel scrap is the most important input raw material for

Drones have been used by the military since mid-1970 but the development of autonomous systems from the turn of the millennium and onward has opened the area of UAV to civil service and the public immensely. Today UAV technology saves lives in Search And Rescue operations, complements and supports full scale vehicles at the Police force and assists in surveys and documentation of ground and forest

This thesis analyses the interrelations of economic complexity, greenhouse gas emissions, and renewable energy in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), using annual data from 1998 to 2018. Economic development in the region is characterised by the exploitation of natural resources and low economic sophistication. At the same time, a dynamic renewable energy market has developed in LAC.
