In the crowded market of jetboards, design and innovation plays a significant role when it comes to maintaining a competitive advantage. Both, which can be found in the company Radinn’s jetboards. Yet, the hand controller used to control their board does not convey thesame feeling, and is described by the company as not being at par with their main product. This thesis evaluates the controller fo

This project is about taking care of the clothes we have and that we should be able to appreciate them, even when we do not use them. By bringing them out from where they are stored and frame them we can also use them as part of the interior of our homes. This has been done through a design process in which I have investigated and developed our way of storing clothes, based on the classical valet

In this project I have created a practical, decorative and educational system of HDPE tiles and connections as a material for walls and floors in climate-smart housings. In doing so, I want to send a message about changing the perception of plastic as a disposable material and minimize the amount of plastic that ends up in the wrong places. To make the message credible, I analysed politics, arts

This paper examines the relationship between public debt and economic growth of Pakistan. For this purpose, the study employs annual time series data of Pakistan from 1976 to 2018. Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach is utilized to investigate the short as well as long run relationships between the variables. Results of the Error Correction Model (ECM) confirm that external debt, debt

I uppsatsen undersöks Polismyndigehtens händelsenotiser ur ett klarspråksperspektiv. Syftet är att undersöka om, och i vilken utsträckning, notiserna använder klarspråk. Klarspråksanvändandet undersöks i sex olika aspekter: interpersonell analys, lexikon, disposition, textbindning, handlingars utövare och språklig korrekthet. Undersökningen kommer fram till att polisens yrkesspråk används i notise

The central theme of this thesis is anthropogenic climate change; governments' inability to create an effective, inclusive response mechanism that manages to mitigate anthropogenic emissions; and advocates efforts to coerce States to act by invoking State responsibility in adjudicatory dispute settlement processes. States' failure to act in accordance with scientific risk assessments and

This thesis has researched whether the role conception of Russia has been affected by the Crimean Crisis in 2014. The aim of the study was to fill the current theoretical gap in role theoretical research, and add to the knowledge of how role conceptions change. Its analytical framework was based on role theory, where the notion of role conception was selected. The descriptive case study over time

Den här uppsatsen handlar om nedskräpning, insamling och återvinning av plast på Bali i Indonesien. På grund av osäkra avfallshanteringssystem, brist på kunskap och få incitament för insamling, har plastavfall en tendens att hamna i naturen där det sedan förorenar mark och vatten, och därmed utgör en risk för djurs och människors hälsa. Genom en fallstudie av den vinstdrivande och sociala organisaThis thesis studies plastic littering, collection and recycling on Bali in Indonesia. Due to unsound waste management systems, low awareness and few incentives for collection, plastic waste has the tendency to leak to the environment, where it pollutes land and water, and poses a threat to wildlife and human health. With a case study of the for-profit social enterprise the Plastic Bank that trades

This paper sets out to investigate what effects healthcare privatisation has on healthcare staffing levels and other healthcare metrics in regional Swedish healthcare. Using econometric techniques and relying on public data of public healthcare spending on private actors as a proportion of total regional healthcare spending, this paper finds that privatisation in general has no significant effects

I övergången mellan de triassiska och jurassiska perioderna, för ca 200 miljoner år sedan, inträffade ett massutdöende som bedöms ha koppling till vulkanism i den Centralatlantiska magmatiska provinsen (CAMP). En signifikant ökning av växthusgaser som koldioxid (CO2) eller metan (CH4) och andra flyktiga ämnen, med efterföljande global uppvärmning som följd, föreslås vara den viktigaste drivkrafterAround the Triassic-Jurassic-Boundary time interval, a severe mass extinction event occurred, which has been associated to volcanism of the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province (CAMP). Significant amounts of greenhouse gases as carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4) and other volatiles are suggested to have been released into the atmosphere, leading to global warming with subsequent impact on the bio

This study aims to explore and analyze how Eurovision Song Contest functioned as an alternative – cultural – battlefield in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over Crimea. With the use of soft power politics in warfare as the root of interest, this study uses the theories of cultural diplomacy and visual international relations to explore how images may be central to modern-day warfare and conflicts a

Dörrsimulator - att skapa automatiserade tester I detta projekt skapades ett program för att kunna simulera en industriell port. Resultatet blev lyckat med ett program som kunde simulera portar som öppnas och stängs. Programmet kommer i framtiden att kunna användas för att testa produkter på företaget ASSA ABLOY. Detta examensarbete skrevs för ASSA ABLOY på deras avdelning Industrial Door SolutiThis report describes the development of a simulator for the simulations if industrial doors. The project has been conducted at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, industrial door solutions in Landskrona. The purpose of this thesis project was to design and implement a system that can replicate the behaviour of an industrial door on a test-rig. The design should follow requirements set by ASSA ABLOY suc

This thesis – Fashionable communication: a semiotic analysis of end of the century Vogue – investigates how American Vogue creates the myth of fashion in its early years through text and pictorial elements. The aim is to understand with what words and tone the text talks about fashion and how it is visualized in illustration and photography with poses and lighting to create certain associations. T

Scholars have increasingly emphasized the ineffectiveness of sanctions in changing the targeted state’s foreign political behavior after their will. The thesis intends to tackle this problem by examining how sanctions against Russia, in relation to Crimea, should be designed to incentivise Russia to change their behavior. The dissertation bases its research on the hypothesis that the design has to

Since the beginning of statebuilding interventions following the end of the Cold War, they have been strictly focused on rebuilding state institutions, wherever they have taken place. As a growing percentage of states that had experienced civil war relapsed into new intrastate conflicts, it started to dawn on researchers that this approach was inadequate. Focus amongst researchers started to turn

In recent years, the insurance industry has undergone a transformation where new technologies and digitalization has impacted the competitive structure of the industry and the value chain. The competitive structure in its turn may affect the incentives to innovate. This thesis attempts to examine how technological development and digitalization has affected different parts of the value chain in th

This thesis was initiated with Toyota Material Handling Europe. The aim of the project was to find a business area in the world of material handling, and develop a conceptual design fulfilling the material handling need. Stepping outside of what is considered conventional material handling, I looked for a new context within consumer trends and future predictions. I found a correlation between th

Recent years have seen great changes to Chinese women’s period-tracking practice, shifting from the method of pen and paper to smartphone applications, and from women-only practice to practice involves men. This study explores such transformations by looking at a specific app named Easy Period in China and users practice with it by using qualitative methods (textual analysis and semi-structured in

Flutter prediction is a vital part of aircraft development which requires efficient and accurate analysis methods. Saab AB Aeronautics is currently using linear analysis based on the panel method and nonlinear analysis using their in-house CFD software program. These methods are in contrast to one another in terms of computing time and accuracy. There is a need to fill the gap between these method
