Methodology: Following a relativist ontology, this research is guided by a social constructionist position, which allows a deep understanding of

Populärvetenskaplig beskrivning - Är rymden en enda stor tunnelbana? Finns det utomjordiskt liv i universum? Konceptet av Fermi paradoxen har förundrat forskare sedan tidigt 50-tal. Den ställer frågan om varför utomjordiskt liv inte har blivit upptäckt ännu. I jämförelse med andra system i universum är vårt solsystem relativt ungt med sina 4,6 miljarder år. Detta betyder att stjärnor med äldre plAbstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. In this thesis I simulate how civilisations can spread through the galaxy via close encountering stars, assuming they travel at sub-relativistic speeds. A defined region arou

Noting a need for a closer understanding of the discrepancy between the actions that sustainable smartphone applications encourage and the actions that the users perform, this thesis explores the implications for sustainable consumption practices. This thesis takes a sociological approach to markets, focusing on three key concepts (market devices, socio-technical scripts, qualification) to answer

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

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

Nyttig last är en last som används vid dimensionering av byggnader, och innefattar vikten från människor, fordon och inredning. Den nyttiga lasten brukar delas in i ihållande last samt periodisk last. Till den ihållande lasten ingår lasten som belastar byggnaden vid normalt användande. Mindre ändringar av denna last sker på daglig basis, men större ändringar av lasten sker undantagsvis och är oftaImposed load is a load used in the design of buildings, and includes the weight of people, vehicles and interior. The imposed load is usually divided into sustained load and intermittent load. The sustained load is the load a building is exposed to during normal circumstances. Minor changes of this load occur on a daily basis, but major changes of the load occur seldom and are often related to cha

Emotions such as anger, fear, and happiness are part of every human’s life. Individuals differ in their ability to regulate their emotions (e.g. controlling one´s anger) and for some individuals the regulation does not function as intended. Disorders like posttraumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) are associated with emotion dysregulation, and previous studies of f

Bakgrund: Att minska risken för aspiration genom att patienter fastar inför generell anestesi är praxis. Detta motiveras genom att fasta minskar mängden innehåll i ventrikeln. Tidsintervallen för hur länge och vad som ska inkluderas i fastan har genom åren varierat. Fasta har en rad negativa fysiologiska konsekvenser och riskerar att orsaka ett vårdlidande. Syfte: Att granska evidensen för riktlin

The purpose of this study is to investigate if there is any size effect in the Swedish stock market between April 2010 and December 2019, and if controlling for firms' quality improves the performance of a size-based investment strategy. The risk premium of firms with smaller market value of equity has since its discovery been under heavy scrutiny. Recent studies suggest that by quality-contro

Att röra på sig är och har alltid varit en grundförutsättning för vår hälsa och välbefinnande. Dagens samhällsutveckling tyder på en allt mer stillasittande livsstil i form av arbeten, vardagsliv och fritidsaktiviteter. Bristen på fysisk aktivitet är en av de största hälsoutmaningarna idag och individers levnadsvanor har visat en konstaterad anledning till detta. Det har traditionellt sätt varit Movement is and has always been essential for our health and well-being. Today's social development indicates a more sedentary lifestyle in terms of work, everyday life and leisure time activities. The lack of physical activity is one of the biggest health challenges of today and the living habits of individuals have shown a strong reason for this. It has traditionally been the individual'

Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att synliggöra problematiska maktrelationer som föreligger till synes neutralt framställda inom viljediskursen. Jag diskuterar hur SOU 2016:60, det vill säga förarbetena till Samtyckeslagen, diskursivt framställer rättsskyddssubjektet, samt hur denna konstruktion kan ses som en begränsning gentemot kvinnan. För att uppnå detta brukar jag en foucauldiansk diskursanalMy purpose throughout is to render visible certain problematic relations of power which are seemingly portrayed neutral within the discourse of will. I discuss how the discursive formations of SOU 2016:60, i.e. the preparatory works to the Samtyckeslagen , constructs a protected subject of law, and through the constitution of the subject acts limitingly towards her. To achieve this I am using a Fo

E.ON har utkontrakterat en stor del av deras dagliga verksamhet till solcellsinstallatörer. Denna outsourcing-strategi har lett till brist på kunskap över hur hela solcellsinstallationen utförs och vad det finns för förbättringsområden i den. Detta examensarbete har kartlagt hela processen i detalj för att samla in kunskap och förståelse. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla ett förslagProcess improvement work is commonly used in most businesses. Much of the current theory in process improvement work is based on the typical manufacturing processes where each and every second matters. What do you do if you don’t work at a manufacturing company or if you don’t have well measured processes? Turns out there’s still a lot that your company can start to improve.

The intertemporal relationship between economic growth and climate change represents a major challenge for the economies of today.
