In recent years, history of knowledge has been established as a new theoretical field in the study of history. An important perspective in this field is the theory of circulation of knowledge, according to which knowledge should be studied through its movement between different spheres in society – movement that, furthermore, contributes to changing this knowledge. A promising line of inquiry in t
"Citizens of Galway - this is your park!" ... it reads on a large, slightly yellowed sign in front of a deserted green space. Here is one of the few entrances to Terryland Forest Park, brought to life by the combined efforts of Galway City Council and the local community in the year 2000. Under a multi-sectoral steering committee, the vision for Ireland’s largest ecological urban park an
In this thesis, the GW approximation (GWA, Green's function G times screened interaction W) and the Hubbard I approximation (HIA) are combined in a non-self-consistent one-shot calculation to determine the electronic structure of a one-dimensional strongly-correlated model. The scheme was chosen to incorporate both screening effects through the GWA and strong on-site correlations through the a
In this thesis we study the feasibility of applying extreme value theory to data regarding road safety. In particular, we propose a model for assessing the risk of collision and near collision using extreme value theory. The thesis is relevant for road safety analysis in order to both understand whether extreme value theory is useful for modelling the collected data and to check if there is a need
När jag hade flöjtlektioner på kulturskola värderades inte musiken efter genrer. Min upplevelse var att flera olika genrer förekom lika ofta på lektionerna. När jag senare sökte in till musikhögskolan och var tvungen att välja genre rubbades denna bild och jag frågade mig vad min roll som flöjtpedagog kommer vara. Ska jag nischa mig inom en genre, eller ska jag kunna lära ut lite av varje? SyftetWhen I had flute lessons at the community school of music and art, music was not valued according to genres. My experience was that several different genres were equally common in the lessons. When I later applied to Malmö Academy of Music, and had to choose a genre, this idea was disrupted and I asked myself what my role as a flute teacher would be. Should I specialize myself within a genre, or s
Sverige har haft stora framgångar inom skidåkningen där längdlandslaget har tagit många medaljer i olika mästerskap. Det finns ett stort intresse för skidåkning inte bara på elitnivå utan även bland vanliga motionärer. Ett sådant intresse skapar efterfrågan och behov av anläggningar och områden som möjliggör utövande. Skidåkning kan utövas på mer än ett sätt med varierande påverkan på det områdeIn Sweden skiing has been very popular for a long time. Due to the popularity there is a need for land to practice the sport. Cross- country skiing is one kind of skiing that is popular. If you want to go on a skiing tour you can either chose to make your own tracks or use tracks made by machines. When you make your own tracks the imprint that is left in nature is small. Tracks made by machines
This thesis is an explorative single case study on the United Nations Logistics Cluster with the purpose to explore the usage of collaborative Mobile Storage Unit (MSU) warehouses in terms of determining their activities’ and decisions’ connection to the disaster management cycle, as well as their challenges’ connection to the contextual factors of the humanitarian supply chain (HSC). It attempts
Photoionization is one of the most fundamental photoreactions that leads to the ejection of an electron and the formation of an ion. With the help of modern 3D momentum imaging spectrometers, the interplay between the time and frequency domain upon ionization is studied. In this work, single photoionization of helium is investigated in the few-cycle pulse regime of the driving infrared laser pul
Medical care in Nepal is largely financed by the individual, and although insurance programs and subsidies exist, they are limited in coverage, amount of assistance provided, and level of enrollment. Medical needs that extend beyond basic health services, specifically following acute injury can lead to financial difficulties that may jeopardize the ability to maintain basic needs and can push peop
The objective of this thesis has been to create a tuning functionality that can determine the control parameters for a crane that loads and unloads containers from ships. To accomplish this a model of the crane has been developed in MapleSIM and exported into MATLAB’s Simulink. In MATLAB cost functions have been developed and evaluated to later be used in optimisation algorithms to find the optima
Studiens syfte är att undersöka möjliga situationer där kvalitetsbristkostnader uppkommer och de former av samordning som kan användas för konsulter i projekteringsfasen. Detta för att möjliggöra slutsatser kring hur ett projekts samordning av konsulter bör utformas för att minimera kvalitetsbristkostnader i projekteringsfasen. Målsättningen är att uppmärksamma de områden där man kan utveckla arbeThe purpose of the study is to investigate possible situations where costs of poor quality arise and the form of coordination that is used for consultants during the design phase. Through this being able to draw conclusions on how the consultants of a project should be coordinated to minimize the cost of poor quality during the design phase. The objective is to highlight on the areas where working

Using reforestation for climate change mitigation is complex due to the multiple impacts forest has on climate. This study analyses the effectiveness in using reforestation on pasture in Scania (south Sweden) as a tool for climate mitigation. The potential carbon storage in biomass and the impact on land surface properties that determine the absorption of radiation (albedo) was assessed. To answer
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the ownership structure covering ownership concentration, managerial ownership and state-owned shares can affect the quality of CSR reporting in SMEs in China.
This Master’s thesis evaluates the performance of lightweight compression algorithm aimed for IoT sensor devices. These devices are most often battery driven and produce large amounts of sensor data which is sent wirelessly. Compressing the data could be a tool in decreasing the power usage of these devices. The algorithms were evaluated based on their compression ratio, memory consumption and CPU

Greywater is referred to as the domestic wastewater generated from bathing, laundry and washing of dishes. About 60-70% of domestic wastewater constitutes from greywater. By reusing greywater from households, we can save our water resources which is relevant from an environmental perspective as the water supply is spread geographically, temporally and the lack of access to clean water. The purpose

In view of the fact that Western films are one of the most consumed forms of popular culture in the world market, this study argues that they are, therefore, integral to the nation branding process of non Western countries. Anchored in postcolonial theory, this research purposely turned to Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis model as a matching analytical framework. With an intention of revea
