This thesis poses structural and behavioural competition problems in digital markets in terms of core platforms services provided by the gatekeepers under the proposed Digital Markets Act by the European Commission, where such problems are the most evident. This thesis analyses whether existing competition and more sector-specific legal tools are functional to address these problems. Traditional l

I den här uppsatsen undersöks fyra svenska översättningar av Edgar Allan Poes novell ”The Fall of the House of Usher” (1839) ur ett stilistiskt perspektiv. Målet med undersökningen är dels att se hur källtexttrogen respektive översättning är, dels att beskriva de olika översättarstilarna. Översättningsanalysen föregås av en text- och stilanalys, i vilken novellens stilbärande drag exemplifieras oc

Purpose - The collection-delivery points in Sweden are the main delivery method and facilitates a growing volume of parcel deliveries from e-commerce. As the model has been implemented on such scale in the country, the negative externalities previously outlined in the literature can get magnified in the context of the Swedish consumers. It is important to gain a deeper understanding on every aspec

Humans are irrational. What happens when you disregard this fact? When we let only logic and reason be acceptable ways of life? Science is the reason behind most of our advances as a human race, and with this, it has pushed aside spirituality and, on a certain level, the room for fantasy and thought. As a consequence, we are bored, and we seek to satisfy our desire for adventures and dream

his study examines why it is so easy to over snack and how to use design to better control snack intake. The latest findings have shown the increase of snack consumption and the difficulties of controlling snack intake. Many studies have provided convincing findings to reduce snack/food intake after experiments, in the aspects of psychology, cognition, environment factors, interventions and other

The shrinking of kitchen spaces has blurred the boundary of cooking, especially for young renters in small spaces. After talking to friends who have lived with tiny kitchens, I realized that they sometimes prefer cooking with friends outside their kitchenette, or have to buy their own kitchen products to add to the poorly equipped kitchen. I want to facilitate this cooking pattern by designin

Havsnivån stiger till följd av den globala uppvärmningen. Fastigheter kommer att drabbas av översvämningar och stora fastighetsvärden kommer att påverkas. Länsförsäkringar beslutade 2018 att sluta försäkra nybyggnation av bostäder inom områden som löper risk för översvämning där länsstyrelsen har avrått från byggnation. Flera kommuner planerar för skydd av befintlig bebyggelse, men examensarbeSea levels are rising as a result of global warming. Several properties and buildings will be affected by flooding and property values will decrease. One insurance company in Sweden has decided to stop insuring new buildings in areas at risk of flooding where the County Administrative Board has advised against construction. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the degree of considerati

The coronavirus is a subject currently on everyone’s lips. The pandemic has not only made existing inequalities more profound, it has also further exposed vulnerabilities that have impacted women on several fronts. The purpose of this thesis is thus to investigate how women in the workforce are affected by working from home and to highlight reproductive labour, an area that the Swedish-Gender-Equa

This essay examines three examples of transmedia storytelling whitin children’s litterature and other media (tv shows, computer games etcetera). The three examples – Vi på Saltkråkan, Star Stable and Moomin – each offers unique backstories in which storytelling on multiple platforms has been successful. This study focuses on why the publishers and producers choose to adapt a story to different typ

The fear of a loss in competitive advantage due to increasing costs and prices is an argument often brought up against compliance to human rights and labour standards. On this basis, the present thesis is researching the association between compliance to labour standards and factory survival in the Cambodian garment sector. The latter is an important driver of industrialization in the country. At

In Sweden, the concept of gender equality is presented as a self-evident and self-explanatory collective goal that is rarely further examined or questioned. Based on the assumption that concepts of gender equality, supposedly self-evident, actually subsume different meanings, the aim of this study was to examine how political players and school authorities articulate the concept of gender equality

Chromatography is a separation technique frequently used in the purication of medicinal drugs. In studies and project at the department of chemical engineering at Lund University a large amount of data have been generated through the use of their research software Orbit and their ÄKTA chromatography system. Methods have been developed for visualization of this data but there is currently no good w

The relevance of grassroots innovations for higher citizen participation in the sustainability transition of electricity systems has been progressively increasing. Renewable energy cooperatives are grassroots innovations that envision an electricity system where citizens become producers and consumers of electricity from renewable sources instead of being dominated by big energy companies dependen

I takt med att världen blir mer medveten om hur människans beteende påverkar jordens klimat, ställs också högre miljömål. Ett hållbart energisystem är en del av dessa miljömål och att övergå till enbart förnybara energikällor är ett verktyg för att uppnå dessa. Övergången till endast förnybara energikällor riskerar dock att medföra problem, bland annat så kallad effektbrist. Effektbrist är inget nAs the world becomes more aware of how human behavior affects the earth’s climate, higher environmental goals are also set. A sustainable energy system is one part of these environmental goals, and switching to only renewable energy is a tool to reach such goals. However, a system with only renewable energy can be vulnerable at time periods of reduced production of electricity, with a subsequent r

I en bransch som i allt större utsträckning präglas av hållbarhet och miljö, blir det allt viktigare att hitta sätt att återvinna och återanvända snarare än att nyproducera. Ett exempel på detta är när det kommer till de obundna lagren, bär- och förstärkningslager i vägöverbyggnaden. Till dessa används traditionellt bergkross och naturgrus, som bryts från bergtäkter. Dessa material är inte oändligIn an industry that is increasingly affected by sustainability and environmental matters, it is becoming more and more important to find ways to recycle and reuse materials rather than producing new materials. An example of this is when it comes to unbound pavement materials, such as the base and subbase layers. For these layers, mineral aggregate and natural gravel is traditionally used, which ar

With an aging population, the need for elderly care is expected to grow significantly in the coming years. One challenge associated with this growth is hiring and retaining home care workers. The aim of this study was to investigate factors in the psychosocial work environment that may be of value to make people stay in elderly care. There are several factors at play, however the present study foc

Kemiindustrin har en betydande roll på den globala marknaden och dess produkter hittas i nästan alla tillverkade produkter. Kemiindustrins påverkan på klimatet är stor och sker både genom hanteringen av dess slutprodukter och även i själva produktionen. För att ställa om industrin för att hejda den globala uppvärmningen krävs att de största företagen är med i omställningen. För att undersöka föret

Research on employment and Covid-19 has shown that women across the world have shouldered many negative socioeconomic consequences of the current global pandemic. This study looks at the relationship between gender, having children, and living with a partner, and the likelihood of losing employment or experiencing a decrease in paid working hours during the first wave of Covid-19 in the EU27 count
