In 1947 the municipalities in Sweden received the monopoly to decide on and plan their land. Despite this, over 80 percent of the municipalities in Sweden say they experience lack of housing today. This thesis applies The Homevoter Hypothesis introduced by William A. Fischel in 2001 to try to explain why some municipalities are not able to construct enough housing for their inhabitants. The hypoth

Med molnlagring kommer många fördelar såsom möjligheten till back-up och att användaren kan komma åt sina filer oberoende av plats. Det finns även flertalet säkerhetsrisker med molnlagringstjänster vilket kan äventyra informationssäkerheten. På senare tid har flera attacker mot molnlagringstjänster ägt rum, samtidigt som antalet användare ökar. I denna uppsats har det genom en enkätundersökning st

This essay examines the philosophical questions posed in Virginia Woolf’s famous novel Mrs Dalloway (1925) set in London in the aftermath of World War I.

The genus Caldicellulosiruptor and especially Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus are gaining attention because of their potential as biohydrogen producers from agricultural and forestry waste on an industrial scale. Genetic and in turn metabolic engineering can be used to aid in the characterization of C. saccharolyticus. Additionally, it can be used in strain improvement to overcome limiting fa

Diskussioner gällande olikheter har kommit att spela en allt större roll i den svenska debatten om frågor såsom sociala klyftor, integration och välfärd. I takt med att denna debatt anpassas sig till samtidens sociala strömningar av xenofobi och nationalism, skiftar även dess begrepp form. Social sammanhållning är ett av dessa begrepp. Denna uppsats anlägger ett etnologiskt angreppssätt för att unIn Sweden, discussions of difference and diversity have come to play a bigger role in nation- wide debate on social gaps, integration and welfare issues.

The supportiveness of pre-existing global governance institutions should be achieved to enable truly ambitious climate policy. In this thesis, I investigate the theory of regulatory chill in interactions between the WTO and the UNFCCC by examining climate c

This thesis regards the efficiency of a planetary gear train. The analysis only accounts for the power losses in the gear meshing. Tip radius, pressure angles and profile shifts are altered and the results show higher efficiency due to tooth modifications.

Permafrost regions cover approximately a quarter of the Northern Hemisphere and thawing has been recorded in many different locations. The thawing process is likely to continue given that the Northern Latitudes will experience increased warming, which is known as the Arctic Amplification Factor. Changes in permafrost regions can cause changes in hydrology, biogeochemical cycles and ecosystems. Fur

This scientific report has mainly studied the concept of Industry 4.0 and the possibility to send data from a temperature sensor to the cloud, a process which is an example of the term Internet of Things. The study has been conducted for the consultant business Rejlers to give the CEO as well as the Technical Manager a broader view of how they could implement IoT on behalf of costumers in the futu
