Vi kan idag se en ökande urbanisering i världen, 2018 bodde 53% av jordens befolkning i städer, en siffra som väntas öka till 60% till år 2030. Samtidigt mänsklighetens utsläpp av växthusgaser gett upphov till ökade temperaturer, som i sin tur leder till förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilka manifesteras i form av bland annat extrema regn. Detta har lett till ett ökat behov av att göra städer mer håThere is an increasing urbanization taking place in the world today, in 2018, 53% of the global population lived in cities, a figure that is expected to rise to 60% by 2030. At the same time, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gasses give rise to increasing temperatures, which in turn lead to changed precipitation patterns, which manifest in the form of extreme rain events among other phenomena

“Netflix and chill?” It has been 10 years since this phrase has become an innuendo for casual sex. Netflix has become a streaming titan with over 300 million subscribers. The success of Netflix owes much to its original contents emphasising the competitive edge. Netflix categories its soft-core porn titles as Steamy Movies on the platform and even has an established category code for the genre, 11

We live in an increasingly individualistic society where involuntary loneliness, especially among older adults, has become a growing issue. In Sweden, where single-person households are common, many seniors, particularly those over 65 who live alone, report feeling lonely. At the same time, children are growing up with limited contact with older generations, as everyday interactions between age gr

This thesis presents a comparative geospatial analysis of earthquake damage caused by the 2020 Croatian earthquakes, the 5.5 magnitude Zagreb earthquake and the 6.4 magnitude Petrinja earthquake. Using only freely accessible data, including Copernicus EMS damage assessments, OpenStreetMap building footprints, and WorldPop population grids, the study explores how spatial damage patterns differed b

This thesis investigates the semiotic foundations of recurrent gestures through a cross-cultural study of the Two-Handed-Alternation-Sagittal (2HAS) gesture in Japanese and Swedish. Drawing on the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM)––a cognitive-semiotic model of meaning-making––the study explores how recurrent gestures emerge from the dynamic interplay between embodiment and sedimentation.

This bachelor has examined how the birkin bag is represented in the television series Sex and the city and Gilmore girls, the reality show The real housewives of Beverly Hills and in a Youtube video from Kylie Jenner. Therefore this essay's purpose is to identify how the birkin bag is represented and which social interactions are therefore being made through all four videos. This essay also ai

Grayling, Thymallus thymallus, became locally extinct in Lagan around the 1950s due to human activity. Now, 70 years later, The Swedish Anglers Association is trying to re-establish a popula- tion in Lagan by releasing the fish in a tributary river, Krokån. This paper investigates the eco- logical challenges that this project faces. I conclude that the water temperature could pose a big problem

Under en tid har det funnits en önskan att förtäta bostadsområden för att spara mark och minska utspriddheten. Detta har skett på både bättre och sämre sätt. I städer där grönskan är begränsad har den ofta fått ge vika för punkthus. Även om tanken bakom detta är god och många gånger har genomförts på ett balanserat och ansvarsfullt sätt växer diskussionen om hur vi vill bo. Att exploatera åkermark

The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed-target missing-momentum experiment which hopes to detect dark matter in the MeV-GeV mass range. This is done by firing an 8 GeV electron beam at a thin tungsten target, where the electrons produce dark matter through a process called dark bremsstrahlung. Electrons which have gone through dark matter production can then be found by looking for miss

Denna uppsats undersöker hur artificiell intelligens (AI) uppfattas och anpassas i Kenya, med fokus på lokala språk, normer och kulturella värderingar. Syftet är att analysera i vilken utsträckning AI-system utvecklade i en global, ofta västerländsk kontext fungerar i kenyanska sammanhang och hur användare aktivt omformar tekniken. Studien bygger på nio månaders fältarbete i Nairobi och andra dela

Commercial hybridisation of seeds has created a large hybrid market that now dominates globally. In Rwanda, this market co-exists with a traditional system based on locally grown seeds. Local, farmer-grown seeds have traditionally been replanted to generate new seeds, which has kept farmers self-sufficient. Due to their genetic nature, hybrid seeds must be repurchased each season, creating a poten

The last decade and a half has seen intense research efforts into metal-halide perovskite (MHP) materials, as researchers have come to appreciate their excellent photo-electrical properties such as good radiative recombination rates and light absorption. As part of these efforts MHP-devices of different morphologies have been developed. Notably the enhanced nanophotonic effects of nanowire (NW) mo

Skuggdestinationer är platser som är belägna nära större etablerade turistorter med starka varumärken. Platser som befinner sig i periferin ställs inför utmaningar att synas och dra till sig besökare då många väljer att åka till de etablerade destinationerna. Efter pandemin uppstod en ökad vilja att besöka landsbygdsområden för att vara närmare naturen och få uppleva ett lugnare tempo. Intresset f

Studien undersöker den kortsiktiga aktiemarknadsreaktionen när amerikanska företag offentliggör förvärv i EU och vilka faktorer som förklarar förvärvarens kumulativa abnorma avkastning (CAR). Med en eventstudiemetodik finner vi att CAR i huvudfönstret (−15,+2) uppgår till 0,8 %, en effekt som är ekonomiskt relevant givet förvärvarnas storlek i studien. Avkastningsmönstret före annonseringsdagen ty

I vårt examensarbete undersöker vi varför vissa kvinnor lyckas nå toppositioner inom modebranschen medan andra kvinnor inte gör det. Studien fokuserar på modebranschen i Sverige och den är avgränsad till kvinnor som är verksamma inom olika delar av modebranschen. Vi valde modebranschen för dess tydliga könade och estetiska normer, vilket gör den relevant för att studera utifrån studiens syfte. Vi

This thesis introduces the theory of quasiconformal mappings on the plane. We give three different definitions of quasiconformal mappings: Differentiable quasiconformal map and two geometric definitions, one based on boundedness of the modulus of quadrilaterals and the other on ring domains. We also showcase when these definitions are equivalent. Then we prove that the geometric definition for qua

This study focuses on the chromatographic analysis of neonicotinoid pesticides in bumblebee samples. Analyzing these residues presents significant challenges due to the complex biological matrix and the critical need for high detectability to meet regulatory limits. Furthermore, many conventional chromatographic methods are often time-consuming and rely on substantial volumes of hazardous organic

Membrane fouling, particularly by soft, deformable particles, is a significant challenge in microfiltration (MF) processes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs. This thesis investigates the formation of filter cake layers by numerically simulating fluid flow through microfluidic membranes designed with random, non-overlapping cylindrical micropillar arrays. The study aims

This paper concerns the development of thin films from lignocellulosic biopolymers using deep eutectic solvents (DES). The primary objective is to modify the lignin component and alter material properties, through inclusion of ethylene glycol in a previously proven choline chloride based DES. Additionally, citric acid-based systems are investigated as a greener alternative to more conventional DES
