The aim of this study was to model the impacts of climate change on potential geographical distribution of Prunus africana in the Eastern Arc Mountains of Tanzania. Maximum Entropy modelling was used to construct species distribution maps for P. africana to determine relative contribution, and effects of climate change on the potential geographical distribution of P. africana based on climatic sce

I detta projekt har jag fokuserat på färg och färgens roll för arkitekturen. Jag har försökt undersöka ämnet brett och skapa mig en bild av vad färg har för betydelse för arkitektur och hur färgen påverkar ett arkitektoniskt uttryck. Kan jag, bara med hjälp av färgsättning, påverka den upplevda karaktären av en byggnad och dess omgivning? Projektet har blivit en undersökning av vår upplevelse av fThis project focuses on studies of colour and the role of colour in architecture. I’ve tried to look at the subject from different perspectives to form myself a picture of what colour means for architecture. I asked myself how colours affect the architectural expression. Can I, by only working with colours, influence the character of a building and its specific environment? This project has become

The Trigger-Level Analysis is a strategy for data analysis that enables recording larger amounts of events at the ATLAS experiment than the typical method of reconstructing events offline. This is done by only recording partial information about the event, and using that for analysis. As more events are analysed with this method it can be used to put lower energy constraints on the events that are

In 2015, Chumani Maxwele radical and controversial act of throwing human waste at the post-colonial statue of Cecil John Rhodes at University of Cape Town (UCT) came to give birth to a social media inspired student movement of #RhodesMustFall (RMF). The hashtag #RMF came to fuel protest towards the removal of the Rhodes statue at UCT due to its symbolic representation of white supremacy. The prote

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to improve our understanding of strategic thinking by identifying patterns of cognitive elements in individuals perceived to be strong strategic thinkers. Research Questions : in order to fulfill our purpose we formulated two research questions: Research Question 1: What are the common traits and cognitive elements found in the perceived best strategic thinke

Normbrytande reklam blir allt mer förekommande, om det representerar vårt samhälle eller inte råder det tvetydiga åsikter om. Normbrytande reklam är reklam som tenderar att bryta normer kring kontroversiella fenomen som kön, klass och etnicitet. Den här studien undersöker kritiskt representationen i två samtida reklamfilmer. En av reklamfilmerna är Bryt klädmaktsordningen (2016) som är en omdiskut

Transport planning has, during the last century, been focused on the car and its accessibility. This has led to low-density urban areas, also known as urban sprawl. Densification is a planning strategy which counteract this by developing and building within the city limits. In combination with conscious transport planning, densification leads to shorter travel distances, good public transport and

This dissertation intends to display how today’s culturally dominant features of postmodernism can be read in the fashion image. By doing a qualitative study of Gucci’s campaign Utopian Fantasy from Spring/Summer 2018, this thesis has located postmodern tendencies in the fashion image. Results show that the ’anything goes culture’, with a fragmented subject, the de-centering of values and unstable

The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is non-renormalizable at loop level. However, it can be treated in the effective field theory framework which means that gravity as an effective theory can be renormalized when a proper expansion of the effective Lagrangian is made. At the same time, the Feynman rules for gravity are very complicated, although the resulting amplitudes do not have the sam

The following thesis sets out to identify and map out the current problems that a circular economy, where waste management is the main focus, faces within the construction sector among entrepreneurs mainly in the southern parts of Sweden. As well as proposing solutions to said problems which are deemed to be applicable and have potential according to the authors. Construction waste amounts for one

With the increasing use of nanomaterials in industrial production, the concept of Nanosafety has acquired importance for human and environmental protection. A complete evaluation on the potential risks of a determined nanomaterial cannot prescind from the molecular mechanism of interaction between nanomaterials and biomolecules. In this project, the interaction between a nanomaterial used in sola

This thesis concerns the principle of provenance and its applicability in the archival processing of personal digital archives. Digital archives are here understood as archives consisting of born-digital material and not analogue material that has been scanned and digitized. Personal archives are understood simply as collections of documents from private persons, as opposed to businesses or organi

This case study seeks to contribute to an ongoing discussion about planning for a sense of community by exploring which approach is used by the municipality of Linköping when planning for the neighbourhood Vallastaden. Vallastaden is presented as a neighbourhood planned to create meetings and a local sense of community. However, in times of increased mobility and digitalisation, this local scale o

A comparative study was performed to investigate which of some selected factors that could affect the outcome of the work made in four Swedish municipalities to provide housing for refugees. The chosen municipalities figure as two bad and two good examples. Data was gathered directly via the municipalities, from news articles, and from various Swedish authorities (e.g. Swedish Migration Agency, St

The principle of ne bis in idem, enshrined both in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and in the European Convention on Human Rights, has been the object of an extensive body of case law. Therefore, the question this thesis seeks to answer is: ‘what is the current status of the principle of ne bis in idem under EU tax law?’ After the development of a high level of protection r

Sexuellt samtycke har diskuterats under många år. Den första juli 2018 trädde den s.k. samtyckeslagstiftningen i kraft. Uppsatsen behandlar denna lagstiftning och vad den kan göra för skillnad i sexualbrottsmål där uppsåt inte kunnat påvisas. Fokus riktas mot relationer där dominans och undergivenhet är en livsstil, eller åtminstone ett inslag. Rättsfall redovisas och analyseras och därefter görs Sexual consent has been discussed for many years. On July 1, 2018, the so-called ”consent law” was introduced into Swedish law. The essay deals with this legislation and how it can make a difference in sexual offense cases where intentions have not been proven. The focus is on relationships where dominance and submissiveness is a lifestyle, or at least one element. Cases will be reported and analy

The objective of this study was to assess the influence of user behaviour on the Smart Grid performance and to identify possible interfaces between end-users and the energy network. In order to get an image of the electricity customers attitude to Smart Grids and energy-efficiency, a questionnaire was conducted as a first step. Afterwards, a combination of thermal building simulations and the deri
