In the initial stage of planning, considering the solar impact of urban layout on the building can effectively avoid some irreversible design issues, improve the indoor environment, and reduce energy demand. The typical architectural models of three representative cities (Copenhagen, Berlin and Hong Kong) were selected as the analysis cases in this study. By analysing several sunlight and solar me

Bakgrund: Arbetet på en operationsavdelning är avancerat och högteknologiskt. Dagligen ställs stora krav på operationspersonalen för att utföra säker vård. Vid de flesta operationsingrepp bildas kirurgisk rök. Exponering för röken utgör en hälsofara för operationspersonal eftersom den innehåller en rad toxiska ämnen. Att ha rätt kunskaper om riskfaktorer och befintliga riktlinjer för kirurgisk rök

This thesis examines how learning is depicted in policy documents for public libraries on municipal and national level in Sweden. The documents analyzed are library plans from five Swedish cities, as well as the proposal for a national strategy presented in 2019 by the National Library of Sweden. The method used is Carol Bacchi’s What’s the problem represented to be-approach. Pierre Bourdieu’s the

In this thesis we introduce some basic concepts in representation theory such as Schur’s Lemma, induced representations and M-groups. These concepts are then used in particular on a group G_96 of order 96, in order to determine its irreducible representations and its character table. Furthermore, we show that G_96 is an M-group and contains a subgroup which is not an M-group itself.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve

This dissertation intends to examine how the Swedish art world is responding to the exposure of artwork which has been produced using artificial intelligence as a tool. Based on qualitative interviews with curators, who have developed and formed exhibitions of AI-art, this study aims to investigate if an acceptance of such art could occur. In 2019 two of Sweden’s most reputable art institutions,

Background: In today’s dynamic market environment, change and entrepreneurship are considered important for organizations to keep gaining a competitive advantage. Previous literature on change management primarily focuses on the importance of top management and employees during change, while underexposing the potential key role of middle managers in driving and implementing change. Furthermore, th

The speed of growth for startups has never been faster, and this growth comes with ethical challenges for society as the startups bring their innovation to the masses without considering the full implications of their business. With the aim to better understand the ethical decision making process of the entrepreneur and how to improve it, we identified two gaps in entrepreneurial ethics research t

This research seeks to investigate access to justice in Liberia, specifically delving into corruption in the Liberian Judiciary and its nexus to pretrial detention

Tidigare fanns en statlig läromedelsgranskning i Sverige. Sedan denna avvecklats har istället ansvaret för granskning av läromedel ålagts lärarna och skolorna själva. Syftet med denna studie är att genomföra en kritisk granskning av läromedel. I läroplanen (Lgr11) framgår tydligt att jämställdhet är något skolan skall verka för. Genusteori har därför varit utgångspunkten för denna granskning. Stu

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fyra rytmiklärare definierar och beskriver rytmikmetoden samt hur de förhåller sig till den rytmikutbildning de fått på Musikhögskolan i Malmö. Studien intresserar sig också för rytmikmetodens tradition och hur denna kan förstås med hjälp av informanternas beskrivningar. Insamlingen av data gjordes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. LitteraturkapitletThe aim of this study was to examine how four eurythmics teachers’ define and describe eurythmics as a method for musical learning and how they relate to their former eurythmics education in their daily teaching. The study also explores how the structures of the tradition in which eurythmics are transmitted in music education may be understood through the descriptions made by the teachers. The dat

This Master’s thesis concerns the regulation of premature implementations of mergers, also known as gun-jumping. The purpose of the paper is to establish how the phenomenon should be regulated in the European Union Merger Regulation (EUMR). Potential solutions are sought primarily from the case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. With the objective of the EUMR in mind, namely the pr

In recent years there has been a large increase in available data from the electric grid in Finland. The availability of both operational as well as financial data enables exploration of forecasting energy prices using deep learning techniques. As a result this thesis implements the Multi-Horizon Quantile Recurrent Neural Network (MQRNN) to forecast the regulating price in the Finnish energy markeEnergy is something we use on a daily basis. Among other things we use it to charge our phones and turn on the lights. But what determines the price of energy? In the Nordics, energy is traded like a commodity by the market. That means the price is set according to supply and demand. And while the demand is easy to forecast, determining what will be produced is harder. Forecasting production accur

Bakgrund: Efter en hjärt- eller lungtransplantation finns det risk för komplikationer och bieffekter. Vilket skapar en komplex situation att förhålla sig till för personer som genomgått en hjärt- eller lungtransplantation och kan påverka deras livskvalité långsiktigt på flera sätt. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur hjärt- och lungtransplanterade patienter uppskattar sin hälsorelatera

Bakgrund: Anestesisjuksköterskan arbetar under en ständig tidspress, har krav på sig att patienten ska erhålla en god omvårdnad och dessutom under det faktum att patientens fysiologiska reaktion vid preoperativ oro, rädsla och ångest kan påverka operationens resultat negativt. För att kunna genomföra det perioperativa mötet på ett optimalt sätt för patienten behövs en djupare och bredare förståels

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans är ett begrepp inom arbetsterapi som är starkt förknippat med hälsa. Det saknas dock kunskap om hur äldre personers aktivitetsbalans tillgodoses i praktiken. Eftersom den äldre befolkningen växer kan äldreomsorgen få svårt att tillgodose äldres behov vilket gör det intressant att undersöka aktivitetsbalans på äldreboenden. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att k
