This thesis identifies the increasingly hegemonic narrative surrounding green capitalism, what the narrative entails and how the discourse may manifest materially in policies and development programs. Specifically, the thesis explores how the narrative of green capitalism and green growth is expressed in the discourse in communication in the case of P4G – Partnering for Green Growth and Global Goa
Recently, a number of experiments have been proposed with the aim of finding light dark matter. In particular, the proposed LDMX experiment is meant to utilize electron scattering off metal nuclei to excite dark matter emissions. Motivated by this, we construct an event generator for electrons scattering off metal nuclei. The relevant kinematics are presented in detail. The matrix element for the
The rate of global urbanization in the 21st century has been unprecedented especially in the African and the Asian continents. Urbanization typically causes a removal of natural vegetation and replacement of same with impervious and non-evaporative urban materials with high heat capacity and low solar reflectivity. The alteration of the natural land cover due to urbanization causes a change in the
Visionen när områden ska detaljplaneläggas för ny bebyggelse, i centrala delar av städer, är att skapa gaturum med stadsliknande karaktär. Önskan finns om att skapa mötesplatser och ett livfullt område. För att uppfylla denna vision har detaljplaner utformats utan kvartersmark mellan byggnader och allmän plats vilket innebär att husfasaderna går i användningsgräns till den allmänna platsen. FöljdeThe vision when municipalities are planning new areas is to create a feeling of urbanity and create vibrant and safe places. Usually the municipalities have designed the detailed development plan with a space between the public space and the buildings. Lately this place has been removed from many detailed development plans in central urban areas to fulfil the vision of urbanity. It means that balc
Today, a climate crisis is immanent. In this thesis I have conducted nine semi-structured interviews with Swedish climate activists. I here answer four research questions: 1) how they construct the problem of climate change; 2) how they present the non-activists and their motivations; 3) how they present themselves and their own role; and 4) how strategies and reactions can be understood from the
Det finns olika typer av glas och de som beskrivs i detta arbete är planglas (floatglas) och säkerhetsglas. De säkerhetsglas som behandlas är härdat, värmeförstärkt och laminerat glas. Planglasets och säkerhetsglasens beståndsdelar, tillverkningsprocesser och egenskaper förklaras. I Boverkets byggnadsregler, BBR, finns det olika regler för hur glas får användas i olika typer av byggnader där männ
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utreda vilka hinderdetekteringssystem som finns tillgängliga idag eller som är under utveckling, och att ta reda på vilket system som är bäst ur ett tekniskt och samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv. Med hinderdetektering menas de system som finns på järnvägen för att detektera var på järnvägen det finns ett hinder. Det kan t.ex. vara ett tåg, en godsvagn eller ett The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate which track vacancy detection systems are available today or under development, and determine which system is best from a technical and economically perspective. Track vacancy detection systems exist to supervise the railway and indicate if a track section is occupied with an obstacle, e.g. a train, freight wagon or maintenance vehicle. These trai
Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate how important it is for Scandinavian firm’s internationalization process to fully adopt to the Chinese culture when trying to enter the Chinese market. In order to investigate the aim of this study two sub-questions have been formulated where Chinese culture will be analyzed and different models for internationalization process will be discusse
In this essay, I use an empirical approach to explore two recent free trade agreements struck by the European Union: the EU-Korea Free Trade Agreement and the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement. By comparing the EU’s tariff concessions on goods in both instances, I identify the goods that were liberalised in the former agreement but excluded from the latter. I subsequently try to explain why
Although the communication aspects of sport and football organizations are receiving in-creased scholarly attention, research from the perspective of fans of such organizations has mostly been neglected. This study problematizes the gap that exists be-tween the current social media communication of football organizations, that tend to be guided by commercial interests, and the expectation of fans
Med hjälp av en kvalitativ dokumentstudie skapades detta arbete med syfte att undersöka de skildringar som gjorts om baby boomers, generation x och millennials, i relation till det påstådda ledarskap som krävs för att hantera respektive generation. Efter insamling av tidningsartiklar genomfördes en dokumentstudie, vilken analyserades utifrån en diskursanalys. Resultatet från empirin presenteras i
We have studied the main features and the phenomenological consistency of a family-nonuniversal Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with a softly broken U(1)xZ2 family symmetry that enforces the flavour hierarchies in the Standard Model (SM) while implementing a tree-level Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) suppression in a Branco-Grimus-Lavoura way. Furthermore, the alignment limit is imposed i
Across the globe, persons with disabilities do not enjoy equitable access to social, economic, and human capital compared to their non-disabled counterparts, and are politically, economically and culturally disenfranchised. Ghana ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) in 2012 and is thereby obliged to amend their national disability laws, making them compatible w
Syftet med denna studien är att bidra med en ökad förståelse kring hur möbel- och heminredningsbutiker kan använda sig av digitala verktyg för att underlätta konsumenters värdeskapande. Detta har studerats genom att undersöka vad konsumenter har för förväntningar på digitala verktyg samt hur digitala verktyg kan underlätta konsumenters skapande av värde.

Uppsatsens syfte är att få en djupare förståelse för vad personer som har eller haft psykisk ohälsa upplever som meningsfullt i deras tillvaro och vilken betydelse social gemenskap inom en intresseförening har för deras psykiska välbefinnande. Uppsatsen utfördes med kvalitativ metod och bygger på fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med medlemmar i en intresseförening.Föreningen är belägen i en medels
The research field of automatic music transcription has vastly grown during the 21st century, where the goal is to transcribe a polyphonic music signal into annotated sheet music. Within this field, the subproblem of fundamental frequency estimation in a piece of music is a difficult problem, e.g., due to dissimilar structures in signals from different instruments playing the same note. This becom
This study aims to provide a better understanding of how successful late entrants narratively construct their brand biographies in order to position themselves favorably in the market with already dominant players. A multiple case study with two different late entrants, Everlane and Too Faced, has been analyzed by using narratological theories based upon Algirdas Greimas’s hierarchical order of su
The aim is to develop a profound comprehension of what role knowledge plays in the process of integrating the internal knowledge within organizations with the external knowledge that can be found in the surrounding cluster initiatives. This research contains a qualitative case study which was developed by following an interpretative, abductive approach that granted the authors to work with theory
