This thesis investigates a version of the Vehicle Routing Problem: The pickup and delivery problem with transshipments. The aim was to construct a mathematical model, that finds optimal rail freight train routes according to specific requirements used in the industry. One challenge was that transshipments - the process of a request order changing trains at an intermediary station - were necessary
The purpose of this investigation is to examine how Chinese and German Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) affect human development in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI), and to explore potential reasons for any differences in their respective impacts. The investigation is based on two multiple linear regression models, both implementing OLS fixed effects estim
I Sveriges decentraliserade och diversifierade skolsystem verkar rektorer i skärningspunkten mellan pedagogiska ideal, organisatoriska krav och föränderliga styrformer. Denna uppsats undersöker hur rektorer i kommunala, privata och ideellt drivna grundskolor tolkar och utövar sina professionella roller inom dessa institutionellt mångfacetterade sammanhang. Genom intervjuer med svenska rektorer i dIn Sweden’s decentralised and diverse school system, principals operate at the intersection of pedagogical ideals, organisational demands, and shifting governance structures. This thesis examines how principals in public, private, and NGO-run elementary schools interpret and enact their professional roles within these institutionally diverse settings. By interviewing Swedish principals in these di
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how young consumers make sense of receiving email marketing communications in today’s digital landscape. Theory: This study adopts the Uses and Gratifications Theory by Katz et al. (1973) which notes that media users are active participants who selectively interact with media to fulfill certain needs. In the context of this study, UGT is use
This bachelor's thesis examines how narratives about queer and/or norm-critical performance strategies can counteract the reproduction of stage stereotypes and preconceived normative role interpretations on the independent theatre stages in Sweden. Based on three dyadic interviews with three different independent theatre groups in Sweden, I have analyzed narratives about queer and norm-critica
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken betydelse commensality, det gemensamma ätandet, har i en svensk kontext. Samt undersöka vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i ätandet mellan unga vuxna, som precis etablerat egna matvanor, och deras föräldrageneration. Arbetet baseras på den problematisering Claude Fischler presenterar som beskriver hur samhällets individualisering även leder till e
As trade wars commence and European integration deepens it becomes increasingly important to investigate the effects that such actions have on the economy. This thesis investigates the effect that the EU and Eurozone has on the economic growth of its member nations. The study utilizes an augmented Solow-model in a fixed effects framework to see the effect that the EU and Euro has had on economic g
The increased awareness of the importance of sustainability has paved the way for a more climate friendly future. But at the same time, biodiversity is at risk due to overstraining practices used by forest and textile industries. Do we have to choose one or the other when ensuring a greener course of action? In this project, the aim has been to explore what can be done when combining only leftove
This bachelor thesis uses firm registration and unemployment data to see if unemployment has an impact on the rate at which firms are formed in Swedish regions in the years 2005-2023. This is done through econometric modelling, namely a linear regression model with region and time specific effects. The results show that there indeed is a relationship between unemployment and firm formation, and sh
Det här examensarbetet handlar om hur man kan närma sig en plats som man har starka band till. Det utforskar jag genom att undersöka min familjs sommarstuga som ligger i Åhus på den skånska östkusten. Där har jag spenderat min barndoms somrar och det är en plats som jag har starka känslor kring. Hur gör jag när jag som arkitektstudent ställs inför att förändra en sådan plats? I det här projektet
This study investigates lexical transfer in the acquisition of Swedish as a third language (L3) among L1 Ukrainian speakers with English as their second language (L2). Employing theoretical frameworks from crosslinguistic influence (CLI) and psychotypology, the research examines how perceived linguistic proximity and proficiency levels can mediate the influence of L1 and L2 on L3 vocabulary acquis
Understanding how plants allocate time between the green-up and senescence phases within a growing season is critical for assessing vegetation responses to environmental change. This thesis investigates the spatiotemporal patterns of the time allocation fraction, defined as the ratio of green-up duration to senescence duration (RGS), across the Tibetan Plateau from 1982 to 2018. Phenological metri
This thesis presents the design and implementation of a web-based simulator, developed to support students in the introductory course in automatic control at LTH. The simulator is meant to serve as a preparatory tool for the laboratories that revolve around two interconnected water tanks, and provides an interactive environment for students to explore system dynamics and PID control prior to atten
This project is about developing and testing a method of how old places can be given new purpose and use through architectural transformation. There are plenty of abandoned factories spread around the country, often in small towns and villages in the countryside. Finding a way to reuse old industrial buildings is a key to further sustainable development. The history and identity of existing build
Water reuse technologies such as Orbital Systems’ recirculating shower offer significant environmental benefits by reducing hot water consumption. However, these systems rely on depth filters whose performance degrades over time due to clogging. Current maintenance strategies use fixed time intervals or pressure-based thresholds, which do not account for individual usage patterns or actual filter
Machine Protection Systems (MPS) at the European Spallation Source (ESS) aim to protect equipment from damage while minimizing accelerator downtime with respect to safety and availability requirements. Main Control Room operators and MPS experts rely on alarm systems to effectively detect faults and guide intervention actions. Current implementations in the Fast Beam Interlock System (FBIS) are pr
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka vilka faktorer som resenärer anser vara viktigast för en positiv upplevelse av tågresor, med särskilt fokus på punktlighet och upplevelsen av restid. Studien baseras på en enkätundersökning med 103 svarande samt en litteraturstudie inom området järnvägstrafik, kundnöjdhet och restidsvärdering. Resultatet visar tydligt att punktlighet är den mest avg
I takt med att den rådande klimatdebatten har fått allt större uppmärksamhet har även den negativa påverkan modebranschen har på miljön uppmärksammats. Fast fashion och överkonsumtion är ett växande problem som påverkar den sociala och ekologiska hållbarheten. Allt fler modeföretag har implementerat hållbarhetsinitiativ för att ta sitt ansvar i debatten. Däribland har green demarketing börjat syna
This thesis investigates how students navigate interpersonal and professional relationships in the context of neoliberal rationality and Web 2.0 digital infrastructures. Focusing on self-marketization practices and the conflict between online personas and real identities, the study draws on qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with university students aged 20–35. Using a dual theoreti
