The following paper aims to examine and discuss the gig-economy and the workers that I call “giggare” from a cultural analysis-perspective. In this essay I hope to answer these three questions: In what way does labour operate in a material and technological aspect? How does flexibility shape the work and the worker? And how is the body of the worker visible in the labour? The study is based on the
Denna rapport utgör en masteruppsats vid Lunds Universitet. Målet med studien är att undersöka kraven i det svenska referensverket AMA Anläggning. Kraven säger att den organiska halten i undergrunden inte får överstiga 2 vikt% i fyllnadsmaterialet. Både vad gäller cykelvägar och vanliga vägar. I denna studie utreddes detta krav utifrån flera infallsvinklar. Aspekter så som cykelkomfort, bärighet, This report constitutes a master thesis at Lund University. The aim of the study is to investigate a requirement in the Swedish reference book AMA Anläggning. The requirement says that the organic content in the earth foundation cannot exceed the level of 2 weight% of filling material. Both for bike paths as well as regular roads. In this thesis, this requirement is investigated by several entry a
I detta examensarbete undersöks databasen Plantfacts som innehåller data om stålverk från hela världen. Syftet med detta är att utvärdera om det finns en koppling mellan primärt och sekundärt producerat stål och olika typer av stålverk i downstream-processer. För att utföra detta har databasen formaterats om i Excel med hjälp av Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Från början var Plantfacts databIn this thesis the Plantfacts database is investigated, which contains data about steel plants from all over the world. The purpose is to evaluate wheter there is a coupling between primary and secondary steel and different types of steel plants in downstream processes. To achieve this, the database has been reformatted using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. Initially, the Plantfacts
Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L
The subject of diophantine approximation is a classical mathematic problem, as old as it is well studied. There are many different texts describing its connection to more modern areas of study, but few which do so with the aim of exploring the connections themselves. This paper aims to serve as an introduction to diophantine approximation, and to expose some properties common between two dynamical
The essay aims to examine alternative forms of housing, especially collective solutions and to design a cohousing project. The idea is to broaden our perception of housing and further study the possibilities of cohousing in relation to the more complex needs and different lifestyle of today. The housing market of today is still based upon the idea of an autonomous nuclear family with a lot of priv
This paper explores the process of transitioning to a rural, self-sustainable lifestyle in terms of ecological sustainability and geographical place, while focusing on how these concepts serve to motivate change and create a sense of purpose. It further analyzes how aspects of structural power may facilitate or impede the transition into self-sufficiency. The study consists of ethnographically ga

Bakgrund: De individer som drabbas av ett venöst bensår kommer troligen att leva med det under en lång tid. Det är även ett välkänt problem att dessa individer upplever svårigheter i sin vardag samt det är ett komplext problem som inte endast kan lösas genom såromläggningar. Syfte: Att beskriva personers upplevelser av att leva med ett venöst bensår. Metod: 12 kvalitativa studier valdes ut och en
The recent addition of Modern Standard Chinese (MSC) as an elective language in Swedish elementary and high school ('Moderna Språk') has brought the teaching of MSC particle le to the fore. Le occurs either affixed to a verb (le1) or as a sentence-final particle (le2) and is a frequently used grammatical device in MSC with a great number of various functions. At the same time, coexistent a
This thesis is concerned with history within Nick Clegg’s and Nigel Farage’s political discourse during the six months leading up to the 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom’s membership in the European Union. Using Thematic Analysis combined with Klas-Göran Karlsson’s typology of the use of history, Jörn Rüsen’s typology of historical narrative and drawing on the theoretical framework of histori
Images hide the meaning that words cannot convey. With increased interest in addressing place branding in social media setting, the importance of photographs in image making of the place beforehand from consumers point of view seem to lack interest. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore Instagram photography in image formation of the place. We love Lithuania serves as a case where ZMET te
The project started with the question “why wouldn’t a disabled or old person want it to look nice at home?” Many assistive products on the market are designed in a way that doesn’t fit the interior trends, which is an issue for several reasons. By the aesthetics assistive products possess, the users get labeled as people who are sick and abnormal. The brief was then created and the goal was to des
Producing small, bispecific antibodies Proteins are molecules which come in all shapes and sizes, found in every living being. They are translated from the DNA found in the cells of every organism, and every single protein has different characteristics, which allow them to carry out a number of varied functions. Some proteins emit colors, some proteins move ions in the cell, some proteins receive

Previous research into variation in sex allocation strategies in birds has provided evidence for sex ratio adjustments by parents to maximize fitness, based on differences in the costs of producing males and females. Additionally, studies of melanin-based color polymorphism indicate that life history strategies, physiology, and behavior may vary among color variants of the same species. This study
The purpose of this report was to develop and evaluate new solutions to improve the perception of fire threat in virtual reality experiments. Thermal heat have been identified as a stimulus that modern day virtual reality experiments don’t take into account that would likely affect a person in a real life fire evacuation scenario. The objective of this report was to successfully implement thermal
This thesis examines the debate that followed the 2019 exhibition The Thin Line at Dunkers kulturhus, when it became known that one of the photographs had been digitally altered. The aim of the study is to contribute to an understanding of our norms and attitudes to- wards the photographic image and it’s genres.

It will do so through a case study of the Danish-Swedish channel Öresund, also known as the shortest shipping route from the North Sea and the Atlantic and to the Baltic Sea. Together with the Great and Little Belt cha
