In this thesis the influence of strong reflections in rooms is investigated. A strong reflection can have a negative influence on speech or music that is transmitted from the source to the receiver. Impulse responses including different strength of a reflection are modelled using a statistical model. From the impulse response, different parameters describing the strength of the reflection can be c
This paper will examine the underlying identity processes of the European Space Agency. The aim is to discover how this agency is presenting itself and why, by using narrative analysis. Narrative analysis has proven to be effective in coming close to a subject’s performed identity. Theories from corporate communications and organisational studies have inspired the portrayal of ESA as a personified
Since banks provide various forms of credit, they consequently expose the business as well as society to risks. Therefore, global banking regulations exist to ensure that banks keep enough capital for the risks they are taking. One such risk is name credit concentration risk, arising when exposures in a portfolio have a skew distribution across different counterparties. Regarding the treatment of
This thesis picks up the journey from my Bachelor’s thesis where it was concluded that current legal protection of the Intellectual Property (IP) for “computer programs” and associated components is fractured and contains gaps that provides for legal uncertainty for the author/creator/inventor. The BSc thesis’ analysis covered IP protection provided through international treaties, statutory law an
Mobility constitutes an important aspect in order to create quality of life, where a well working public transportation can decrease the level of stress and create more “flow” in the everyday life (Atkins 2009). However, not all individuals have the mobility prerequisites; for people with disabilities, the preconditions of movement are limited. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the accessi
The third UN Millennium Development Goal promotes “achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women” (UNDP 2013). It reflects the fact that violence against women (VAW) is a problem of global proportions which hinders the achievement of gender equality and at the same time has negative effects on countries’ social and economical well-being. In Peru, numerous efforts by the government, nation
På grund av de klimatförändringar som idag råder engagerar sig många verksamheter i miljöfrågor och det har blivit av stor vikt att ta ansvar för en hållbar framtid, utöver att gå med ekonomisk vinst. Samtidigt som dessa miljöfrågor ständigt blir mer och mer aktuella ökar människors resande, både privat och i tjänst. Att vara mobil är en bidragande faktor till klimatförändringarna då resandet bidr
We investigate the radial infall of ice pebbles in a protoplanetary disk, and how these tend to end up in relatively close proximity to eachother, providing a possible spawning ground for planets. These pebbles have dust particles embedded in them, which are released as the pebble crosses the so-called ice- line, where the ice evaporates. This is interesting as the dust will pile up around this ic
In this essay I aim to give an interpretation on the book of Ecclesiastes, focusing on how the author (here called Qohelet) regards God, and the relationship between God and man. I will also examine the way Qohelet views reality. A fairly common idea is that the book of Ecclesiastes is quite pessimistic and full of contradictions, and I argue that the book rather represents a realistic way of look
Moore Street is a market street in central Dublin which in recent years has transformed into one of the most multicultural streets in the city. The street traders that have been a presence on the street for generations are now working next to shop-keepers from a diverse range of countries. As such it is often held up as a positive example of multiculturalism. The purpose of this thesis is to exami
Numerous researches on the acquisition of a second language show that the learner acquire the syntactic structures of a language in a certain order, independent of the order they have been introduced to learner. Bartning and Schlyter (2004) have designed an itinerary with six stages of development that show the expected development of the acquisition of French L2 by Swedish adults in oral producti
On the basis of data from Swedish, this thesis investigates the Small Clause Hypothesis put forth by Kush et al. (2013). The hypothesis is suggested to account for the rare possibility of relative clause extraction, a phenomenon that poses a challenge for syntactic theories of locality. In brief, the hypothesis states that the possibility to extract from relative clauses is restricted to cases whe
Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om den samhälleliga styrbarhetens möjlighet och problematiseras i enlighet med samhällets ökande förändringsbenägenhet och känslan av att samhället accelererar okontrollerbart. Den observationen har fått många forskare och kulturteoretiker att tala om samhället som en kontingenskultur där både erfarenhet och förväntan grumlas, där det inte finns en stabil och pålitlig gr
Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som varit av betydelse vid återhämtningen hos tio brukare med diagnosen schizofreni. Delsyftet med studien har varit att beskriva vilka faktorer som haft positiv respektive negativ betydelse för brukarnas återhämtningsprocess. En kvalitativ ansats användes för att uppnå resultatet. Resultatet pekar på fyra faktorer som viktiga för återhämtThe purpose of this paper has been to describe which factors that played a role in the recovery of ten patients with a schizophrenia diagnosis. A part of the purpose was to describe which factors that had a negative or positive bearing on the individuals’ recovery process. A qualitative approach was used to achieve the results. The results indicate four factors that were important for the recovery
