The city of Milan stands today as a prominent model of sustainable urban development. Yet, beneath its allure lies a paradox: the quest for 'green' and 'smart' development has exacerbated privatization and fueled debates on green gentrification, social equity, and urban accessibility. This research explores the emerging impacts of large-scale green urbanization intervention in the
Despite societal discussions around feminist topics and increasing desire for stories centered on women, female characters in films still remain underrepresented. The Bechdel test, which evaluates female representation by requiring that two named female characters have a conversation about something other than a man, serves as a measure of this disparity. This study investigates the relationship b
Rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder är väletablerad inom den svenska arbetsrätten och utgör en betydande del av den svenska modellen. Detta utmärker sig från många andra länder, där rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder inte är lika vidsträckt. Stridsrätten har däremot varit ett omstritt ämne och frågan om huruvida rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder, i synnerhet sympatiåtgärder, bör begränsas har lyfts i olikaThe right to industrial action is well established within Swedish labour law and constitutes a significant part of the Swedish model. This distinguishes Sweden from many other countries, where the right of industrial action is not as extensive. However, the issue of the right to take industrial action, especially secondary actions, has been contentious, and the question of whether such rights shou
As Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) glasses continue to advance, becoming more compact and user-friendly, certain computationally demanding tasks are being offloaded to edge networks or the cloud. This shift, while enhancing the capabilities of AR/MR glasses, will introduce a new challenge—latency. Latency occurs when there is a need to transmit data to a remote processing unit, perfo
Family centers have undergone a strong expansion for families with children in Sweden and represent a large part of the health promotion and prevention work. At the same time, difficulties are described in reaching target groups such as foreign-born parents, parents with a lack of trust in social services, parents with mental illness, or disabilities, and co-parents. The purpose of this study was
Den svenska byggbranschen har de senaste åren varit dynamisk och präglad av en rad utmaningar och förändringar. Efter en lång period av högkonjunktur vände trenden mot lågkonjunktur 2021, med minskad efterfrågan på byggprojekt och färre investeringsmöjligheter. Byggbranschen har påverkats av faktorer som inflation, stigande räntor och geopolitiska händelser som bidragit till ökade byggkostnader ocIn recent years, the Swedish construction industry has been dynamic and characterized by a range of challenges and changes. After a long period of economic growth, the trend turned towards a recession in 2021, with decreased demand for development projects and less financing opportunities among investors. The construction industry has been affected by factors such as inflation, rising interest ra
This study examines the challenges Sweden faces in implementing legislation against human trafficking for sexual purposes, analyzing the issue through conflict theory and feminist perspectives. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research identifies and categorizes causes such as demand, misogyny, inadequate legislation, and socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary research questions addre
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Military Combat Decision-Making Processes (MCDMP) has been capturing the attention of numerous nations and international organisations. This thesis explores the complex realm of military decision-making, often marked by high-stakes situations and time constraints, which can lead to cognitive biases and heuristic-driven errors. Adding new technol
In Sweden, a prevalent topic of discussion revolves around the challenges faced by immigrants when attempting to integrate into the Swedish labor market. The aim of this study was therefore to examine obstacles and opportunities that individuals with a foreign background face and how their actual identity is affected by the establishment and making a career. Employing a qualitative approach with a
The combined rise on the demand for electrical vehicles for road transportation, technological advancements for Lithium-Ion batteries, and limited availability of rare metals, create a need for sustainable solutions for Electric Vehicle Batteries (EVBs) at the end of their first life. This makes companies rethink on how to deal with the increased complexity generated by the exponential growth of E
En stor del av unga vuxnas liv kretsar kring kärleksrelationer. Monogami är fortsatt normen men det finns rum för andra relationsformer att växa fram såsom polyamori, vilket har blivit vanligare i samhället. Samtidigt som majoriteten av unga vuxna vill hitta någon form av kärleksrelation är också frihet en viktig sak i livet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka idéer som unga vuxna har gäl
Purpose: The main purpose of the research is the overall exploration, evaluation and comparison of the usage and efficiency of corrugated fillers and molded paper packaging solutions in supply chains. Method: The research adopts a qualitative approach using a multiple case study approach using qualitative and quantitative data gathered through interviews, observations, literature, and documentatio
This study aims to explore and analyze the efforts of social workers to facilitate the integration of refugee youth within a municipality's labor market unit. With a mixed methods approach, consisting of semi-structured interviews and shadowing, this study has engaged in a meticulous exploration of the topic at hand. The selection of respondents has been crafted through a combination of conven
This study investigates the potential of urease-positive fungus strains to form calcium carbonate via urea hydrolysis. Besides, we compare the precipitation ability of living and dead biomass of fungus to determine which one has better strontium removal performance. The first hypothesis was that the Sr removal efficiency of living biomass of fungus cultivated without Ca was expected to be lower th
The climate change in northern Europe is not only leading to more extreme weather events but also causing long dry summers. This affects the moisture content of the ground and the vegetation. Causing an increased number of wildfires within Germany posing a risk to the environment, society, and firefighters. Surface fire spread in wildfires can be influenced by several environmental conditions and
I studien undersöks utmaningar och förbättringsförslag relaterade till arbetsmiljö, säkerhet och kommunikation inom byggindustrin för utländska arbetstagare, med extra fokus på länderna Polen och Litauen. Fri rörlighet för arbetstagare inom EU, som fastställs av artikel 45 i EUF-fördraget, möjliggör lika tillgång till både arbetsmöjligheter och behandling oavsett nationalitet. Syftet med studien The study examines challenges and improvement suggestions related to the work environment, safety, and communication within the construction industry for foreign workers, with a particular focus on Poland and Lithuania. The free movement of workers within the EU, as established by Article 45 of the treaty on the functioning of the European Union, ensures equal access to both employment opportuniti
In the face of global challenges such as regional conflicts, climate change and economic recession, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic added a unique dimension to the complex landscape that governments had to navigate. Unlike other challenges, the pandemic's solution was theoretically straightforward – the only way to stop it was mass vaccination. However, the issue of vaccine hesitancy by
This thesis explores the impact of preemptive patenting strategies on technological competition in the context of the US semiconductor industry. Employing publicly available patent data from 49 US based semiconductor firms, strategic patents serving preemptive purposes are identified through self-citations to prior art. Patent-level data is analyzed to determine whether strategic patents deter fut
In various consumption decisions, from what clothes to wear to what investments to make, individuals are influenced by the choices of others. Such peer effects sometimes lead to herd behavior in the form of, e.g., fads and financial bubbles. To understand these processes, it is crucial to understand the underlying mechanisms. The novel experimental design of this paper allows for a separation of p
