The Chinese urban population face serious health issues due to the increasing concentration of air pollutants. Research has shown that air quality was influenced by urban forms, and that special combinations of city characteristics could contribute to sustainable urban development. This study aims to determine how urban forms affected air quality in Chinese cities. In this context, urban forms are

Empirical evidence for the growth effects of the concepts of related- and unrelated variety have been inconclusive since the introduction in 2007. This thesis contributes to the field by suggesting how the concepts of related- and unrelated variety may be moderated by the absorptive capacity found in a region. Absorptive capacity is suggested to work as a diffusion mechanism in relation to related

I föreliggande uppsats studeras hur sex transsexuella män skapar och framställer sin maskulinitet på Youtube. Youtube har kommit att bli en plattform som används av många transsexuella personer. Tidigare forskning har visat på hur Youtube fungerar som en självuppfyllande process där transsexuella personer legitimerar och uppnår en bekräftelse för vilka de är (Jones 2019, Horak 2014). I dessa video

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the motivations of young people for manifesting their consumption behavior through Instagram stories. Additionally, the purpose includes gaining an understanding of the way consumption behavior is portrayed.

In this paper we discuss methods to estimate a monotone frequency of species in a population when the ordering of species is unknown. The question arises from [5], where the case of known order was taken into account, and the method is inspired by [2]. We discuss first a regression approach that however only leads to the trivial solution, and then a likelihood approach that allows some generali- s

The contemporary job advertisement is characterized by enhancing organizational attributes that are perceived as desirable. To what extent this evaluative way of writing advertisements affects job seekers perception of organizations is an area that requires more attention within research. How individuals subjectively feel that they will fit with an organizational context is referred to as Person-O

The global demand for fresh food has increased during the past five years and the demand is anticipated to continue growing in the future. The consumers' expectations are also getting higher and higher, which is why it is of great importance that the actors within the food industry meet these requirements to remain competitive. Fresh food is perishable goods which have a short shelf life. The

While flying today the customers will receive static advertisements on the screens placed in front of every seat. Hence, the advertisements do not differ depending on the flight’s duration or personal interests. Our goal was to develop a marketing tool where the marketing team at different airlines could specify under which circumstances a certain advertisement would be displayed onboard. The desi

Introduction: Knowing diffusion coefficients in supercritical carbon dioxide is important from an efficient process in chromatography and extraction. Background: Several papers have estimated diffusion coefficients in pure supercritical carbon dioxide, but rather few have investigated the effect of adding a cosolvent. Aim(s): Building and validating a system for estimating diffusion coefficients

Världen som vi känner den hålls samman av fyra grundläggande krafter. Gravitationskraften drar oss mot jorden och håller samman planeter, stjärnor och galaxer. Den elektromagnetiska kraften styr i princip allt annat vi upplever i vår vardag. Den starka kärnkraften håller samman protoner och neutroner i atomkärnor och binder de kvarkar som i sin tur bygger upp dessa partiklar, och den svaga kärnkraWe present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat

Kommuner och regioner kan ansöka om stadsmiljöavtal för att få ekonomiskt stöd för projekt som förbättrar framkomligheten för kollektivtrafik, cykel och gång. Projekten strävar efter mer hållbara stadsmiljöer med hänsyn till persontransporter och markanvändning. De första stadsmiljöavtalen beviljades 2015. Vid slutet av 2018 skulle projekten för de fyra första omgångarna vara avslutade. Det har tiThe urban environment agreements (stadsmiljöavtal) are a federal initiative through which Swedish municipalities and regions can apply for funding for projects that improve and innovate solutions for public transport, walking and cycling. These projects promise to plan for a more sustainable urban environment with regards to transportation and land use. The first urban environment agreements began

The aim of this thesis is to look at the attitude among governments and large corporations towards algorithms in general and with a special focus on artificial intelligens. This is done by examining five policy documents produced by three governmental branches and two private companies, all of them from Europe and the US. The assumption is that policy is one of the methods that those in power can

The Swedish construction industry is an example of a trade largely dominated by men. The main purpose of this study is to examine how said male dominance affects companionship among workers by analysing male homosociality and hegemonic masculinity. Based on six separate interviews with both male and female construction workers, this study explores the attributes that constitute an ideal constructi

A nocturnal jet is a low level air jet that is often seen at an altitude below 500 m during night time conditions. It can reach wind speeds of storm force and is thus of importance for aviation and also for transport of e.g. moisture and pollutants in the lower troposphere. By comparing wind speed measurements at 150 m at Hyltemossa research station (measured by ICOS Sweden) to the logarithmic win

With the ever increasing demand for higher data rates and reliability, efficient management of cellular networks remains a challenge. Among other technologies, fifth generation systems are expected to tackle this challenge using large electronically controllable antenna arrays operating in the time division duplex mode. In such systems, spatial beamforming is implemented with accurate channel esti

Bitumen och dess egenskaper har länge ansetts vara den viktigaste faktorn för en asfalts funktion. Egenskaperna som finns är hos bitumen är relativt enkla att kontrollera. Eftersom egenskaperna är relativt lätta att kontrollera och mycket kunskap redan finns om bitumen har dess egenskaper ansetts vara det som är avgörande gällande hur en asfaltbeläggning kommer att agera då den brukas. MätmetodernBitumen and its properties have long been considered the most important factor in the function of asphalt. The attributes that are present in bitumen are relatively easy to control. Since the attributes are relatively easy to control and a lot of knowledge already exists of bitumen its attributes are considered to be the decisive factor in how an asphalt coating will act when it is being used. The
