Arkitektritat åt fler?

I mitt projekt tittar jag på arkitektanvändning bland privatpersoner och undersöker om det går att skapa ett alternativt sätt att nå ut till en grupp som idag inte anlitar arkitekthjälp vid hemrenoveringar. Något som kändes extra aktuellt nu då renoveringstakten bland privatpersoner ökat och vi blivit allt mer begränsade till våra hem. För att få en bättre bild av tankar och beteenden kring hemren

Filtering False Positive Alarms in JavaDL and Language Experience Report

JavaDL is a domain-specific language (DSL) for writing static program analyses in a declarative logic programming style, based on Datalog. The key feature of this DSL is the ability to pattern-match on literal source code syntax and reason non-locally through declarative programming. Static program analyses generally suer from producing false positive alarms. This results in developers having to

Future Electricity Consumption and Wind Power Production in Sweden - Effects of Climate Change

To maintain stability in the Swedish electricity grid, Svenska kraftnät must be able to predict future electricity production and consumption. Earlier this have been done by using historical data. Now the complexity of the system has increased, because the growing amount of electricity from non­dispatchable sources as well as the impact of climate change. Thus using only historical data will give

Translating “gender” into Arabic: “jins ” , “jinsayn ” , “naw ʽ” or “jindar ”? A study of the translation of the concept “gender” in single- and multi-word expressions in feminist knowledge building

The terms “gender” and “sex” are central to feminist concerns. In English scholarship “gender” is disputed within and outside of feminism, despite its seemingly political correctness as an alternative to “sex” (Olson 2012; Gunnarsson 2011). This thesis aims to describe how “gender”, multi-word expressions with “gender”, and the derivative “gendered” are translated into Arabic target texts (TTs) by

Effects of hypoxia on activity of primary human lung fibroblast from COPD patients

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disease without curable treatment. COPD is divided into stages of increasing disease severity GOLD I – IV, with GOLD IV being most severe. Pathophysiological changes in COPD include chronic pulmonary inflammation, irreversible small airway remodelling and emphysema and found to be driven by hypoxia, inflammation and oxidative str

Understanding the gender-drug cultivation nexus: A qualitative case study of the gendered practices in the opium poppy cultivation for drug production in Hopong, South Shan State, Myanmar

Myanmar is the world's second-largest producer of opium poppy, the raw material from which heroin and opium are produced. 85% of this opium poppy is cultivated in rural areas of Shan State, where about 1 in 10 households in the villages are directly involved in opium poppy cultivation for the drug industry (MIMU, 2017). The economy of opium poppy permeates social and family dynamics; nonethele

Eyes Wide Shut: Seeing the Safety Management System as a State

Airlines are required to manage safety by implementing a Safety Management System (SMS). These systems are built on experience with quality management and seek to provide a structure for organisations to manage the risks presented by and to their individual operations. Safety is presented by the SMS as a ‘state of being’ arrived after following risk management to a level as low as reasonably pract

Consumer Cosmopolitanism through Japanese products: The case of the Yakuza-series

Mukokuseki or borderless marketing has long been a topic within the marketing of Japanese cultural products. On the opposite end, there is the concept of ultra-cultural products and the Yakuza-series by Sega is one of the examples that takes advantage of both. The overarching question posed throughout this paper is: “How has SEGA employed a particular vision of Japan to successfully promote its Ya

Crusaders and Invaders: How Islamic State and the Christchurch Shooter Portray Their Enemies in Propaganda

Research comparing the ideological beliefs, radicalization pathways, and extremist rhetoric of both Salafi jihadists and militant white supremacists has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade. However, there has not yet been an in-depth comparison of how those extremists portray the communities they incite violence against. In light of this gap in the existing research, the author of t

Modulär infästning av ubåtsutrustning

Denna exjobbsrapport beskriver en studie av alternativa lösningar i konstruktionsprinciper gällande infästning av ubåtsutrustning på mekanisk struktur. Den är gjord i samarbete med SAAB Kockums AB. Studien efterfrågades för att förenkla infästningen av utrustning och minska ledtiderna i designfasen såväl som tillverkning/infästningsfasen. En modern stridsubåt består av en betydande mängd svetsade

Cognate effects in intra-sentential codeswitching in trilinguals - evidence from a read-aloud task

This thesis examines the effect of cognates on codeswitching in planned speech production in trilinguals, which has previously been unexplored. Previous studies on cognates and codeswitching have primarily focused on cognate facilitation effects in spontaneous speech in bilinguals. While experimental studies have gradually acknowledged the importance of investigating codeswitching in a sentence co

Gender stereotypes in contemporary Swedish society: Does gender still matter? An investigation of prescriptive stereotypes, self-views in gendered traits and evaluation of role (in)congruity.

The present study aimed to further investigate the current state of gender stereotypes and their function in Swedish population in a two-fold way: Primarily by investigating the content of prescriptive stereotypes (how people should be) in relation to people’s self-views in gendered traits, and secondarily by investigating how people who behave stereotypically and counter-stereotypically are perce

Does Corruption undermine Kenya's FDI Inflows?

This thesis analyses the effect of corruption on Kenya's low and fluctuant FDI inflows. Institutions have increasingly been crucial for all economic aspects, including FDI. As a component of institutions, corruption has been found to 'sand the wheels' of FDI and economic prosperity. To confirm this hypothesis, this paper employed an ARDL model and found that corruption had a negative a

Coastal city of malmö - a blue urbanism approach

Due to climate change, the average global sea level is rising. Consequently, flood protection is being discussed by cities all over the world. Out of all the proposed solutions for this, those that can offer something beyond the construction of high walls are the ones with the most value. We should create coastal protections that offer added value, for us humans as well as for the ecosystem we liv

Determination of antibiotic residues in surface water by solid-phase extraction and high-performance liquid chromatography with UV/Vis detection

This work aimed to optimize a multiclass reverse-phase HPLC-DAD chromatographic method and SPE method for the quantification of eight antibiotics in wastewater. Cefalexin, Levofloxacin, Nitrofurantoin, Doxycycline, Nalidixic Acid, Oxacillin sodium salt, and Cloxacillin sodium salt were separated with a C6-Phenyl (100 x 2 mm, 3.00 μm particle size) column within 10 minutes. Gradient elution was per

A VISIT TO THE PAST - CAST ALUMINIUM HOUSE CLEANING TOOLS

Unsustainable use of natural resources has been the basis for economic growth since the industrial revolution. The linear model of extraction, processing, consumption and disposal has brought significant environmental consequences such as resource scarcity, pollution, biodiversity loss and climate change. The use of plastics is one example of unsustainable human behaviour. The use of them has offe
