Business Improvement District (BID) har blivit en alltmer förekommande modell för att utveckla utsatta områden i Sverige. BID-modellen är relativt outforskad i svensk kontext, men har sedan dess första inträde i USA och Kanada både blivit hyllad och kritiserad. Trots att tidigare forskning är oeniga om modellens förtjänster så råder det i princip samstämmighet angående modellens auktoritära inslag

Blockchain technology offers a new type of financial infrastructure with the potential to increase financial participation and decrease transaction costs. The technology behind it is hard to fully wrap your head around, likewise it’s different versions, potential and downsides. This paper aims to investigate two things. Firstly, what is blockchain technology and digital currencies? Secondly, how c

På senaste tiden har allt mer medial uppmärksamhet riktats mot den problematiska arbetsmiljön i flera delar av välfärden, inte minst för socialsekreterarna. Det talas om för hög arbetsbelastning och personalomsättning, och för låg personalstyrka och lön. Den psykiska ohälsan vid socialtjänsten är bland de högsta rapporterade i Sverige. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var därför att undersöka h

Japanese knotweed is a big problem in Sweden and there is no known control that can eliminate stands of the plant. Therefore the aim with this thesis is to investigate the effect on Japanese knotweed of two control methods: mowing and hot water. The control methods chosen are the ones used by the Ängelholm municipality since this thesis is done in collaboration with them. The methods were investig

The purpose of the thesis is to measure how bias impacts loan officers’ decision-making upon assessing mortgage applications and the level of noise embedded within the process. Quantitative data were collected from 15 loan officers working at three different branches at Handelsbanken answering a questionnaire based on fictional mortgage applications. The statistical analysis used an unpaired t-tes

PURPOSE. The aim of the study was to investigate how teachers' experiences of PAX Good Behaviour Game (PAX-GBG) and how it affected the relationships in the classroom changes during implementation. PAX-GBG is an evidence-based universal preventive intervention applied by teachers in the classroom. METHODS. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with six teachers (all women). Three

Famine has played an essential part in the rise and fall of many civilizations. Yet, many considers the plight of famine a phenomenon of the past, reserved for but the poorest parts of the world. In Europe there are plenty examples of famine and hardship during the 19th century. When the most recent famine in Swedish history struck the area of Småland during the 1860s, the mortality distribution d

This essay is an iconographic analysis of a specific mosaic called the Hunting mosaic, found at Villa del Tellaro, a late Roman villa near Noto, Sicily. Interpretations of Tellaro's Hunting mosaic have already been included in previous studies, leading some scholars to a similar conclusion regarding the identification of the two large, central figures: a female, and a male. Due to the extensiv

Denna uppsats analyserar The Mandalorian och kartlägger hur huvudkaraktärens moraliska utveckling framställs med hjälp av musiken. Med Cuklanz & Erols (2021) artikel om maskulinitet i moderna TV-serier som utgångspunkt så fokuserar uppsatsen på huvudkaraktärens resa från prisjägare till vårdnadshavare, vilket är en stor del av karaktärens moraliska förvandling. Genom att musikaliskt bygga vida

Studien reflekterar över konceptet debias, en teknik som avser att reducera påverkan av bias, och dess effektivitet med hänsyn till allvarlighetsskattningar av narrativ innehållande våld i nära relationer. Specifikt undersökte metoden debias påverkan på olika former av kommunikationsbias. Narrativ som beskriver både fysiskt och psykiskt våld presenterades i en enkät (N = 118) som innehöll två grupThis study reflects on the concept of debias, a technique developed to reduce biased interpretations, and its effectiveness with regard to severity assessments concerning intimate partner violence. Specifically, the method aims to estimate the effects of debiasing on different forms of communication bias. Narratives describing physical and psychological violence were thus presented in a survey for

Because of the versatility of technological influence and the rapid development of digitalization, interactive social media, such as Tik Tok and Douyin, have brought more consumption possibilities to the market. These social media are merging to innovate some new consumption behaviors by using interactive content to save costs and give users more value. Tik Tok and Douyin also satisfy user-centric

Effective teaching and its impact on student outcome has been operationalized in previous research through formal measures and external observations, but also through measurements based on teacher self-reports. Thus, although the recipients of teaching are the students themselves, the students’ perceptions of effective teaching and teacher behaviors, and potential links to student academic outcome

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka huruvida det finns skillnader vad gäller underprissättning och långsiktig prestation för börsintroduktioner på de svenska reglerade och oreglerade marknaderna. Med en teoretisk bas, har denna uppsats prövat ett flertal hypoteser, med ett resultat som visar på skillnader mellan börsintroduktioner på svenska reglerade och oreglerade m

Metal objects can cause significant artefacts in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, cause loss of signal and what is known as geometric warping. There are ways to address these problems using different MRI sequences. This project looks at a newer method of artefact correction proposed by Månsson and Morin. The aim is to improve upon the main two faults of the method. The method makes use of a

I Sverige trädde sexköpslagen i kraft år 1999 vilket kriminaliserade sexköp i syftet att stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor. Ett år senare hävdes bordellförbudet i Nederländerna och prostitution sågs som en form av företag som blev lagligt – både när det gällde att sälja och köpa sex. Trots de olika regleringarna i två olika kulturer utsätts prostituerade för våld, stigmatisering och hamnar i utanförska

In this project a model of oxygen, 16O, nuclei, where the nucleons are organised in α-clusters, was implemented in the Pythia Monte Carlo event generator. To study the effects of the new model, some observables, such as the distribution of the number of the wounded nucleons, charged particle multiplicity in the forward and central pseudorapidity region, and the pseudorapidity distribution for diff

To gain increased understanding of how long-term societal trends affect the southern Swedish electric distribution systems, a risk and vulnerability assessment was conducted with the help of literature analysis, interview and Matlab simulations. A representative distribution network was created to mimic Helsingborgs network, owned by Öresundskraft. A comprehensive literature study and interview wi

Vid sammansättningen av kameror ställs höga krav på finjustering av sensorn och objektivets relativa position för att den resulterande bilden ska bli skarp. Axisutvecklade nätverkskameror fokuseras, av olika anledningar, i oändligheten. Examensarbetet utvecklar mjukvara för ett nytt verktyg, Modus, som ska användas in-house för att undersöka effekten av kamerans backfokus på bildens skärpa. VerktFix-focal cameras require careful alignment of the sensor relative to the lens during assembly in order to produce a sharp image. Axis developed wide- and fish-eye network cameras are, for a number of reasons, focused at infinity when aligned. This thesis develops the software for a new inhouse tool to be used at Axis to analyze the back-focus effect on the camera’s focus characteristics. The too

Ålabodarna is a community located in the northwestern Skåne north of Landskrona. The small village is surrounded by Glumslöv’s Nature Reserve, which since 1986 has been a protected nature conservation area. The landscape is a rolling agricultural landscape with a cliff coast whose hiking trail is a popular destination for tourists. As the hospitality industry is an important source of income for L
