In the 2016 fall issue of ACME: An International Journal for Critical Geographies, a themed section in the journal was dedicated to a revisiting of Friedrich Engels’s pamphlet The Housing Question, written in 1872. Six articles were published where the authors were asked to frame their analyses in reference to Engels’s pamphlet and the subsequent intellectual engagements with it. My teachers, Henr

The problematic aspects of the car and car dependency in the cities form together one of the most central challenges when it comes to achieving sustainability in today’s society. This case study seeks to examine how regulations of minimum parking requirements affects the level of sustainability in the municipality of Helsingborg. The aim is to critically investigate the configuration of this plann

The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus

This thesis is designed to explore the use of biogas in Taiwan and identify the barriers to biogas diffusion and is conducted with a focus on the swine industry, the major actor involving in biogas production in Taiwan. The Business Model Innovation (BMI) framework is proposed in this study to overcome the barriers through facilitating key business model (BM) elements in the swine industry. The re

As the capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels installed around the world increases every year, so does the concern regarding their proper end-of-life management given the hazardous nature of this waste. European Member States such as Germany, Italy and Spain, being amongst the earliest adopters of this technology, have already started seeing end-of-life PV modules coming into the waste streams

När en kompilator optimerar programkod så är det typiska tillvägagångssättet att applicera en sekvens av transformationer på den ursprungliga koden. Den slutgiltiga prestandan kan försämras om ordningen på den sekvensen inte är optimal. För att komma runt det här problemet har jag undersökt ett kompileringssätt baserat på Program Expression Graphs (PEGs), och utvecklat ett tillägg till ARMs existeCompiler optimizations are typically implemented as a sequence of trans- formations, applied to some representation of source code. The problem of ordering these transformations in an optimal way is commonly referred to as the phase-ordering problem. Program Expressions Graphs (PEGs) are a code representation designed to get around this problem, by deferring the decision of which optimizations to

I Sverige lider de större städerna av bostadsbrist och i stor utsträckning segregation som bidrar till ökade klyftor mellan människor. Fler innovativa lösningar som uppmuntrar till en stadsutveckling som främjar integration genom att bryta segregationen efterfrågas därför. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera möjligheterna att, i Sverige, tillföra hyresbostäder riktade till en viss inkomstgrupp iAll the larger cities in Sweden suffer of housing shortage and widespread segregation that many times contribute to increased social gaps between people. More innovative solutions that encourage urban development that promote integration by breaking segregation are therefore demanded. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the possibilities in Sweden to supply rental housing targeted to a separate

Hydrotech has a pilot facility which is used to run tests on newly developed filters for water purification. The facility involves a pump that is used to run water through the filter and two pumps that are used for chemical dosages. The chemicals make the particles in the water stick together, so that they will not run past the filter. Hydrotech wanted the ability to control the pump for the inflo

The purpose of this study is to examine the communication between archivists and IT-technicians regarding digital archives. In a wider sense, the study aims to illustrate the archivists placement within the current Swedish information management spectrum. It will do so by looking at how and why archivists communicate with IT- technicians, who leads the communication and if the communication reflec

Abstract Objective: To identify and analyse literature on the effects of competitive foods in public schools on adolescent weight (BMI), and possible impacts they may have on adolescent obesity in the United States. Methods: An integrative systematic review of literature was conducted. The literature was collected in CINAHL, Medline and EMBASE databases. Refined keyword search is further detaile

Chemical hazard assessment is a procedure in chemical regulation to set which concentrations of chemical substances that are safe to an ecological system, i.e. where a majority of the species in the systems is not negatively affected by the substance. The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is an assessment model to estimate hazardous concentration based on toxicity data from representative spe

Kurdistan region of Iraq (KR-I) has continually evolved in a region amidst turmoil. Currently, the region is exerting internal sovereignty and administers its own foreign-policy. Through the conduct of field-based interviews in KR-I, this study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the regions relationship with its parent state Iraq, from a perspective of foreign-policy decision-making, spec

Semiconductor Nanowires are promising building blocks for advanced optoelectronic devices since their small diameter give rise to quantization effects. The small diameter also makes them susceptible to non-radiative recombination due to surface states. A consequence of non-radiative surface recombination is a reduction of a total recombination lifetime. This is in turn limits an internal quantum e

Forskning visar att träning i att använda målspråket behövs för att befästa språkkunskaperna och att högre muntlig användning av målspråket av både lärare och elever i under- visningen leder till högre resultat. Samtidigt finns det utmaningar i att förmå eleverna att våga öva på just att tala målspråket. Med detta som utgångspunkt undersöktes vad som påverkar motivationen hos elever i årskurs 8 fö

Interagerar plast och hormon med varandra i vatten? Utsläpp av läkemedel bidrar till att ett av de vanligaste syntetiska hormonen Ethinylestradiol (EE2) hamnar i akvatiska miljöer. Årligen bildas enorma mängder plast, när plasten hamnar ute i miljön bryts ned den till små nanopartiklar med speciella egenskaper. Denna studie undersöker hur EE2 och nanopartiklar binder till varandra i vatten. Av allPlastic materials and synthetic hormones are found in aquatic environments globally. Plastic in water can degrade to nanoparticles (NP) with special characteristics, in the environment nanoparticles and hormones have a proven effect on wildlife. Synthetic hormones are widely used in contraceptives and medications and one of the most common synthetic hormones used is 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2)

Titel: Socialt ansvar - eget ansvar eller styrmedel - Medarbetarskap eller kulturstyrning Universitet: Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg, Institutionen för Service Management Syfte och frågeställningar: Syftet med vår uppsats är att undersöka och analysera hur ledningen i en organisation styr medarbetarnas eget ansvar utifrån organisationens sociala ansvarstagande med inriktning på ISO 26000.

In 2004, acute labour shortages were first observed in labour-intensive export-processing sectors in China’s coastal provinces. Paired with rising wages in rural and urban areas, many economists have claimed China has reached its Lewis Turning Point of economic development. This dissertation reviews these claims by context-testing Lewisian theory, and finds little evidence to suggest China has met

Vid marktekniska undersökningar i finkorniga jordar är det av stor vikt att korrekt kunna bestämma den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten. Detta görs idag vanligtvis ute i fält med en uppsjö av sonderingsmetoder som ger olika mått på hur fast jorden är. För homogena leror och sand finns det en stadig empirisk grund för hur dessa sonderingsparametrar räknas om till odränerad skjuvhållfasthet, men hur seThe undrained shear strength is a key parameter in the design process of geotechnical structures. One of the most frequently used methods to investigate this parameter is the cone penetration test (CPT). The CPT does not measure the undrained shear strength directly, but instead the resistance that a conic probe encounters as it is pushed into the ground. A calibration factor, the cone factor (Nkt
