Södervärns vattentorn är kanske en av Malmös mest kända byggnader. Sen det stod klart 1916 och fram tills det togs ur bruk 2015 har det försett Malmö­iterna­ med dricksvatten. Efter tornet slutat att användas som vattentorn har en debatt hållits kring vad som skall ske med tornet utan resultat. Detta examensarbete svarar på denna fråga baserat på en analys av byggnaden och ett gestaltningsförslag Södervärn’s water tower is probably one of Malmö’s most iconic building. Since its construction in 1916 and until it was taken out of use in 2015 it has provided the citizens of Malmö with drinking water. Ever since the decicion to exlcude the tower as a part of the city’s water system, a debate has been held on what shall become of the tower, without leading to any decisive decisions. This thesis

This qualitative study aimed to explore the experiences related to the integration process in the Swedish labor market of highly educated female refugees who fled from Syria to Sweden between the years of 2014 to 2021. Interviews were conducted with a total of seven women who, at the time of their interviews, were in different stages of integration into the labor market. Three of the women that we

After having decided to continue my musical career as a piano collaborator, I opted to examine the area of study more specifically. This study aims to identify the fundamental competencies for professional collaborators. I intend to highlight some of the challenges, key features, and difficulties that I may face during the process, as well as investigate how a revised view of being a collaborative

Mänskliga rättigheter inom kommuner och andra lokala organisationer är ett komplext ämne. I den lokala verkligheten finns det svårigheter att applicera mänskliga rättigheter på arbetet. Kommunen styrs av policyer, styrdokument, budget och visioner, men dessa kan vara svåra att förstå i den egna verksamheten. Malmö stad är en kommun med ett välfungerande arbete med mänskliga rättigheter, men även dHuman Rights within municipalities and other local organisations is a complex subject. In the local reality, there are difficulties in applying human rights at work. The municipality is governed by policies, governing documents, budgets and visions, but these can be difficult to understand in one's own operations. The city of Malmö is a municipality with a well-functioning work with human righ

This thesis explores the divergent economic trajectories of Taiwan and China, focusing on how institutional differences shaped their respective economic structures. Through a comparative analysis, the study investigates the role of political institutions in driving Taiwan’s emergence as a knowledge-based economy (KBE) and China’s continued reliance on labor-intensive manufacturing. Despite similar

This paper applies the GARCH-MIDAS (mixed data sampling) framework to examine if geopolitical risk indices (GPR) have predictive ability when forecasting stock market volatility in advanced economies. Stock market indices and country-specific GPR indices from 21 advanced economies are used to examine the out-of-sample predictability of short-term total variance and long-term variance. The main fin

The investigation of Bismuth surface structures on InSb(110) surfaces is driven by the need to advance semiconductor technology for enhanced electronic device performance and new applications in optoelectronics and quantum computing. III-V semiconductors offer superior electronic properties compared to silicon. Incorporating Bismuth into these materials can significantly manipulate the bandgap, ma

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is a method to stimulate the body's muscles using bursts of electricity on the skin that can strengthen the muscles, increase coordination, and simulate human muscle movement to prevent the formation of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DTV). Electrically sensitive skin areas, called Motor Points (MP), must be stimulated to achieve a robust muscular response and

Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans

This bachelor’s thesis explores social workers' experiences with two different approaches to addressing homelessness in Sweden: the Housing Ladder and Housing First. The study employs a qualitative research methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews with social workers who have experience with both models. The analysis combines thematic coding with Fairclough's Critical Discourse An

Inom stålindustrin är naturlig konvektion en konventionell kylningsmetod. Genom att öka kylhastigheten jämfört med naturlig konvektion kan produktiviteten öka då kylbäddarna kan kortas och stålplåtarna tillbringar mindre tid under kylning. Detta frigör plats och sparar tid. Då möjligheten att använda infraljud till kylning redan har bekräftats genom experiment, ska denna masteruppsats försöka besvIn the steel industry, a conventional cooling method is natural convection. By increasing the cooling rate compared to natural convection, the productivity can be increased as cooling beds can be shortened, and the steel plates spend less time in cooling. This frees up space and saves time. As the ability to use infrasound for cooling had already been verified through experiments, this master thes
