Many researchers have studied the impact of the COVID-19 restrictions. However, in terms of the air quality impact, few studies have done so for specific cities. In this study, seven cities in China under the first stage of transmission prevention have been selected. The air quality standard indicators discussed are NO2 (Nitrogen dioxide), PM2.5 (fine particulate matter), and AQI (Air Quality Inde

The objective of this study is to analyze whether environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investments generate different abnormal excess returns depending on preferences towards ESG assets in the United States. We aim to verify whether these results are consistent with the previously exposed theories explaining the relationships between ESG preferences and excess returns. To measure investor p

This study aims to investigate, understand and explore issues related to the appropriateness of the existing fire protection solutions in historical buildings and their effectiveness in avoiding catastrophes. Therefore, recent papers, case studies, statutory documents, and guidelines are reviewed. An explanation of the rationale is provided and potential fire safety solutions for historic buildin

Japanese knotweed, or Parkslide in Swedish, is considered one of the world’s most invasive species. The aim of this project was to explore and investigate the possibility of utilizing this alternative material, and by doing so, help restrict and limit the expansion of the plant. Japanese knotweed was used in a number of ways to test the capability of the material. Experts in the field of invasiv

The goal of this project is the design of the magnetic field of the neutron analyser for the European Spallation Source instrument DREAM (Diffraction Resolved by Energy and Angle Measurements). This instrument is a neutron diffractometer and its purpose is the determination of the magnetic and chemical structure of materials. Simulations have been performed over the span of a semester using the Fi

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this research is to extend the concept of customer loyalty by applying it to a pharmacy retail setting using the perspective and understanding of both pharmacy professionals and consumers in order to comprehend which factors influence loyalty construction in this sector as opposed to in other retail industries. Theoretical perspective: This study focuses on survey

Amidst the present Covid-19 pandemic, consumer interactions with digital food technologies have expedited. This thesis examines how social network platforms and ethical consumption apps, enable and shape the everyday sustainable food consumption practice of young adults in Skåne, Sweden's southernmost region. Drawing on social practice theory and qualitative methods, the study addresses a disc

As the population is getting older, the demand for home care services is continuously increasing. According to industry forecasts, utilizing the current work methods in home care would probably not satisfy the future needs of older people. A few critical areas in home care are the daily visits and the nightly supervisions. To be able to provide these types of services in the future, some technical

The purpose of this thesis is to explain and analyze the project resilience practices developed and demonstrated in project management during times of crisis, as well as to analyze the correlations of these practices with project success, both in the short and long term. This project is also part of the Swedish Project Review, a longitudinal study benchmarking trends and areas of improvement in pr

Ständigt genom historien, har människan varit intresserad av att försöka bryta ner naturens lagar och fenomen till så fundamentala principer som är möjligt. Redan i antika grekland uppstod konceptet av en fundamental byggsten som uppgör all annan materia. Med en ständigt förbättrande teknik och mer utvecklade teorier, så har man under de senaste 100 åren kunnat undersöka mindre och mindre längdskaThis thesis presents the study of how initial state radiation impacts jets produced in pp and PbPb collisions, by investigating the transverse momentum spectra, the rapidity spectra and the differential jet shape. This is done for central collisions with nucleon-nucleom COM energy 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV. The anti-kt algorithm is used to reconstruct the jet, with the jet radii R = 0.3 and R = 1.0. F

Every year 125 000 tons of food is thrown away by Swedish grocery stores. A lot of this food is still eatable and this has caused people to go out at night to take the food for themselves straight from the dumpster. This is called dumpster diving. The purpose of this study has been to examine the discrepancy between the legal norms which proclaim it as illegal and the norms within the dumpster div

This thesis explores how Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Mister Pip (2006) by Lloyd Jones engage with the issue of the white male outsider’s activity of writing black people’s stories. It shows that Adichie counters the discourse that entitles the Western subject, Richard, to tell African stories by transferring his interpretive privilege to the African object, Ugwu. Jo

The Swedish integration policies rely heavily on the establishment program, a measure taken as a consequence of the high unemployment rate among refugees after the “refugee crisis”. The establishment program aims to tackle the gap in access to the labour market between native-born and refugees through economic imperatives. Civil society organizations step in to provide programs that target refugee

It is described in the preparatory work of the Social Services Act that a reasonable standard of living should be based on the prevailing conditions under which the individual lives. Because there is no specified description of the phrase, this entails interpretability of the phrase and therefore uncertainty about what it infers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the representation of the ph

För att främja den sociala hållbarheten behöver de mänskliga rättigheterna prägla arbetet kring utformningen av samhället. I Sverige upprätthålls detta arbete bl.a. via de Transportpolitiska målen. De transportpolitiska målen tar hänsyn till människors olika funktion och behov, målsättningen strävar efter att uppfylla dessa behov. En del av arbetet kring målsättningen är att göra samhället tiHuman rights need to imprint on the work of shaping society to promote social sustainability. This thinking is established in Sweden via Transport policy goals. The Transport policy goals consider people's different level of function and the different needs and work towards meeting these needs. Part of those goals is to make society accessible and usable for individual contribution in soci

This thesis aims to investigate millennials' experience of environmental documentary films and the experiences relation to the millennials values and mindsets connected to sustainability. The environmental documentary films are considered as cultural products, thus contributing and positioning itself within the field of culture and creative industries and service management. The theoretical fr

The German meat industry is a popular labour market destination for unskilled Eastern and Middle European workers. The precarious employment and housing conditions, exacerbated by a staggering number of COVID-19 infections, received immense media attention in 2020. Given the urgency of this issue, the German government introduced new measures targeting the sector with special attention paid to sub

En partikelfysikers mål är att beskriva universums minsta beståndsdelar. Den hittills mest framgångsrika modellen i partikelfysik kallas standardmodellen, vilken beskriver tre av de fyra kända krafterna samt alla funna elementarpartiklar. Den sista partikeln, som upptäcktes 2012, är Higgspartikeln. Denna partikel spelar en viktig roll i standardmodellen eftersom den ser till att de andra partiklarIn this bachelor thesis we investigate the gauge sector of a specific composite two-Higgs doublet model, allowing more freedom for the gauge couplings and compositeness scales. From the underlying parameters we generate model realisations with the correct top mass, Higgs mass and electroweak vacuum expectation value, that satisfy theoretical constraints such as unitarity and perturbativity. We als

I samband med covid 19-pandemin tvingades många arbetsplatser under våren 2020 att övergå till distansarbete efter rekommendationer från Folkhälsomyndigheten. Detta har inneburit en omställning för många människor som nu övergått från att jobba på kontor till att arbeta hemifrån. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie har varit att undersöka hur den påtvingade omställningen till distansarbete har
