Last minute change to mobility. Exploring Malmö’s visions towards more sustainable mobility by implementing mobility hubs as a niche innovation.

Liksom många andra städer som är dominerade av bilar är Malmö pressat att skapa en radikal förändring mot en mer hållbar, yteffektiv och socialt rättvis rörlighet. I den här artikeln används ramverket Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) för att analysera mobilitetsdilemmat på tre nivåer: den dominerande anledningen till förändring, förhållningssättet till förändringen och en möjlig lösning i form av Like many car-dominated cities, Malmö is pressured to enable a radical shift towards more sustainable, space-efficient, and socially just mobility. This paper uses the Multiple-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to analyze the mobility dilemma on three levels: the dominant cause for change, the approach towards it, and the possible solution in the form of mobility hubs as a niche innovation. Semi-s

Audiovisual input contains a few key elements: audio, video, and on-screen text; t

“I’m only numbers on paper” – A qualitative evaluation of the Internalized Weight Bias Scale in a Swedish sample

Viktstigma inbegriper negativa stereotyper och negativa attityder riktade mot individer med obesitas eller övervikt. Internalisering av viktstigma, en process som också kallas självstigmatisering, kan ha negativa konsekvenser för hälsan. Det finns för närvarande inget instrument för att mäta självstigmatisering i en svensk kontext. Att utveckla ett sådant instrument skulle kunna vara avgörande förWeight-based stigma includes negative stereotypes and negative attitudes directed toward people with obesity or overweight. When internalized, a process also referred to as self-stigmatization, it can have detrimental effects on health. There is currently no instrument to measure internalized weight bias in a Swedish context. Developing such an instrument could be a vital step in improving obesity

Modern portföljvalsteori som strategi

Fördelarna med diversifiering har bevisats om och om igen inom portföljvalsteori men hur en portfölj ska konstrueras är inte helt tydligt. I en studie av DeMiguel et.al (2009) kom författarna fram till slutsatsen att en simpel naiv diversifieringsstrategi fungerar mycket bättre än Markowitz mer avancerade mean-variance modell från 1952. Den här studien avser att svara på frågan, Kan modern portföl

THE COUPLING OF A DOUBLE QUANTUM DOT TO MICROWAVE PHOTONS

In this study, we derive a mathematical description of a double quantum dot (DQD) embedded in a microwave resonator starting from classical electrostatics. DQDs are a promising platform for building quantum computers and have important applications in quantum sensing and the study of light-matter interactions. Recently, a higher-order sweet spot was discovered, where the DQD is theorized to have i

Going towards a ‘perfect’ life : A qualitative study on urban middle-class young married women’s experiences and prospects on marriage life in China

The self-evident contradictory governance ideology of the Chinese Communist Party leads to urban-born young middle-class Chinese women struggling between seeking one’s own path with the discourse of ‘individualism’ under the neoliberal market economy and conforming to the traditional role in the family of patriarchal culture. This is reflected in the increasing prominent phenomena of getting marri

The Bloch-Messiah theorem and its application to overlaps

The Bogoliubov transformation is the starting point for the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method and thus for many theoretical approaches that describe heavy nuclei. This transformation is based on two matrices, denoted by U and V, which are called Bogoliubov amplitudes. In this paper the properties of these matrices are investigated. Bogoliubov amplitudes are generated using BCS wavefunctions. The Bloc
