This report summarizes the methodology, development and results of a master thesis regarding the design of an adaptable acoustic panel. When a room gets acoustic treatment it’s usually fitted with one activity in mind, such as a conference room or an office space. Multipurpose rooms tend to perform good for a few set of situations and underperform for the vast majority. For example, in a classroom
Sammanfattning Bygg och fastighetssektorn utgör en stor del av samhällets miljöpåverkan. Hållbarhet är idag ett överordnat samhällsmål både nationellt och internationellt. Det är en närvarande faktor som ökar i betydelse inom byggsektorn. Syftet med examensarbetet är att med hjälp av en kvalitativ undersökning studera hur en byggnads framtid avgörs utifrån hållbarhetsdimensionerna i det initiaAbstract The construction and real estate sector makes up a large part of society's environmental impact. Sustainability is today an overriding social objective both nationally and internationally. It is a present factor that is increasing in importance in the construction sector. The purpose of the thesis is to study how a building's future is determined based on the dimensions of sus
With increasing concerns about environmental impacts of the food that is consumed, so is also the concern about packaging materials. This also comprises the packaging that is currently used to pack infant formula (IF), very often containing aluminum as the barrier material. IF is a very sensitive product that demands for the highest barriers to protect it from lipid oxidation. This implies that th
Christian slaves and their view on the others A comparative analysis of European captivity narratives in Northern Africa during the eighteenth century In the 18 th century, several hundred thousand Europeans were captives in Northern Africa. They represented different nationalities and religions. During the same period, there were numerous conflicts based on religion, and the balance of power be
En ny underfamilj av cellulära vakter i växter Heterologt överuttryck av proteiner innebär att en gen som kodar för ett protein uttrycks i en annan värdorganism som normalt inte har den genen i sin arvsmassa. Inom biokemisk forskning är detta en viktig metod för att kunna studera proteiners struktur och funktion. Tyvärr kan uttrycket av en främmande gen medföra skador på värdorganismens celluläraHeterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su
Recent years have seen digitalisation entangled in everyday life; with the broader context of a digitalised world, one can no longer see the digitalised retail space and its technological artefacts as a lone-standing phenomena. Instead, it is necessary to see digitalisation as way of understanding and being in the modern world. This paper explores the practices and subsequent meanings in the use o

The purpose of this masters thesis is to compare two exhibitions, ”The Human Journey” (Den mänskliga resan) at the Swedish Museum of Natural History and ”History of Sweden” (Sveriges historia) at the Swedish History Museum. Utilizing exhibition analysis and interviews with relevant staff personnel, with a basis in institutional theory, the thesis explores the differences between both of these muse
Denna uppsats utgör den andra delen i ett tvådelat magisterarbete och bygger på en översättning av 6000 ord ur den amerikanske skräckförfattaren Thomas Ligottis sammanhängande novellsamling In a Foreign Town, In a Foreign Land. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys som utgår från Hellspong & Ledins (1997) modell för textanalys men som också baseras på litteraturvetenskapliga begrepp ur framfö
The aim of this thesis was to investigate the secondary aerosol formation from dimethylsulfide (DMS) using the aerosol dynamics, gas- and particle-phase chemistry kinetic multi-layer model, ADCHAM. The first simulations, concerning the butanol oxidation via hydroxyl radicals (OH), were performed to characterize the UV-light source of the AURA smog chamber (Aarhus university, Denmark), later used f
The purpose of this thesis was to identify the strategic actions taken by multinational firms in the banking and automotive industries in response to Brexit, complementing the development of Brexit-based literature. A secondary purpose was to present the actions’ relation to previous theoretical and categorical models concerning strategy, facilitating a categorical model for further instances of s
Den hedoniska prissättningsmodellen används ofta i den ekonomiska litteraturen för att undersöka och förstå prisbildningen av bostäder. Hur skolkvalitet yttrar sig i bostadspriser har fått allt mer fokus på ett internationellt plan, men i Sverige är forskningen begränsad. Denna studies syfte är att identifiera ett potentiellt statistiskt samband mellan skolkvalitet, mätt som medelbetyg i årskurs n
The purpose of this study was to contribute to increased awareness and understanding of how actors collaborate to solve complex societal problems.

The first intention of this project was to somehow stimulate senses of the viewer of a photograph to let he or she have a more vivid imagination of how the shown situation really was like. It was meant to just be able to dive deeper into a photograph and interpret it with more senses than only the senses of sight. Since its not certain that the user has a neuronal basis that get triggered and lead

Är svensk vindkraft rättvis? Sveriges utbyggnad av vindkraft kan leda till internationella rättviseproblem. När vi minskar våra utsläpp av växthusgaser genom att producera el med vindkraft ökar utsläppen och miljöproblematiken utomlands, något som svensk vindkraftpolicy inte tar hänsyn till. Att förnybar energiteknik är fossilfri innebär inte att den är problemfri. Även vindkraftverken bidrar tilThe conversion of the global energy systems to renewable energy is a key component in climate change mitigation. However renewable energy technology just like any human engineering project comes with an environmental impact. To ensure a fair and just conversion of the energy systems these impacts are important to consider. A qualitative content analysis of Swedish wind power policies was conducted
