This essay will discuss how public art is debated in Swedish newspapers. Selected artworks for this study are the mural painting Fuck the world by Carolina Falkholt; the installation Du gamla, du fria by Mattias Norström; and Peter Lindes statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The artworks have been debated both by members of the public and politicians and the debates actualize questions about gender and n

Den globala urbana ytan har mer än fördubblats de senaste 30 åren, vilket är en stor bidragande orsak till utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden eftersom växter och djurs livsmiljöer ofta förstörs eller förminskas vid exploatering. För att vända denna trend – men utan att bromsa samhällsutvecklingen – lyfts ekologisk kompensation fram som ett viktigt verktyg, vilket blivit alltmer populärt inomBiodiversity offsetting, an increasingly popular tool in Swedish municipality planning, aims to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects as the last step of the mitigation hierarchy. However, previous studies of the outcomes are scarce and ambiguous which calls for continued evaluation. This study aims to examine offsetting measures in Lomma municipality. Planned measures in f

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This study is purel

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka hur Flashbackanvändare beskriver gärningspersonerna i fallen Knutbymordet samt Arbogamordet, med särskilt fokus på att jämföra hur de manliga respektive kvinnliga gärningspersonerna beskrivs. Frågeställningen som studien ämnar besvara är: Hur beskrivs de manliga respektive kvinnliga gärningspersonerna i ”Arbogamordet” och ”Knutbymordet” p

The thesis investigates the effects of the Italian Monetary Union on the North and South Italian development from 1870 to 1914. Through a quantitative analysis of the Italian Lira’s exchange rate and regional export prices, the work observes a loss in the competitiveness of Southern export-oriented entities compared to the Northern ones. However, under the thesis perspective, the impact of the sin

This study aims to investigate how the Swedish feminist foreign policy is understood by NGOs in development aid work who receive government funding, and how one can understand this through a feminist postcolonial and postmodern perspective. To gain a better insight and understanding of this, the focus has been on the close links between different notions within feminist postcolonial and feminist p

Massan i vår galax Vintergatan, består av en idag stor del okänd massa som kallas mörk materia. Den mörka materian motsvarar ungefär 80\% av den totala massan i vår galax. Att ta reda på naturen till denna mörka materia är idag ett hett forskningsområde i både astrofysik och partikelfysik. Trots årtionden av experiment med mål att hitta dessa partiklar som denna massa består av har vi än idag gåttStellar streams are made of stars that originate from globular clusters or dwarf satellite galaxies that have been disturbed by the gravitational pull from the galaxy they orbit. These stellar streams hold information about the history of the progenitor as well as information about the gravitational potential of the host galaxy. In this thesis we make use of the high resolution cosmological zoom s

Inom matematiken är det ofta viktigt och användbart att "maximizera" en derivata. Det betyder att man hittar en funktion som har den största derivatan i en punkt bland en familj av funktioner. Detta kallas för ett "extremal problem" och vi söker en lösning till detta problemet. Den finska matematikern Lars Ahlfors upptäckte en sådan lösning i 1947. I denna uppsatsen kommer vi uExtremal problems in analysis have been studied for more than a hundred years. The so called Ahlfors function is the solution to one such problem. In this thesis, we shall study several properties of this function in a most general domain. We will consider the Ahlfors function in the context of analytic capacity, and also relate it to Riemann maps of simply connected domains onto the unit disk. Ou

Within recent years, the concept of Humanitarian Innovation (HI) has emerged and received growing attention within the humanitarian system as a critical means of adapting to growing complexities, uncertainties and resource scarcity. While perceived as a means of stimulating broader system changes and increasing effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian assistance, current efforts of HI have met

Number theory is in a sense among the oldest disciplines of mathematics. A running theme is that many number theoretic problems are very easy to state and understand. However, actually solving these problems often requires much work or some very clever trick. An extreme case of this would be Fermat's last theorem: originally a conjecture by French lawyer Pierre de Fermat whose statement is und

The internet has revolutionised our world. The digital ecosphere is dominated for the most part by technology companies. The surveillance business model of these companies seeks to create predictions and inferences based on persons behaviour which can be used to shape, nudge and manipulate towards certain goals. This presents immense challenges to human rights, especially to the right to privacy.

Nepal has long been recognized as a multi-cultural country with a diverse geographical area. Despite its natural beauty, Nepal is plagued by a number of social issues. Violence against women has always been an issue, exacerbated by patriarchal cultures. Several development organisations are trying to alleviate the situation. The aim of this research is to decide how development organisations integ

Background The importance of services is increasing, and companies need well-developed service contracts to ensure the service providers perform at a satisfying level. In contracts, performance-dependent rewards (incentives) can be used to stimulate the agent to act desirably. This master thesis focuses on E.ON New Solutions B2C, who offers solar panel installations to residential customers. They

Background Transparency of a supply chain is the extent to which all its stakeholders have a shared understanding of, and access to, the product-related information that they request, without loss, noise, delay, and distortion. Having access to accurate and timely information is a challenging issue in global supply chains. Therefore, this research aimed at identifying barriers that could act as

Machine learning as a field has expanded in an explosive manner, with more companies interested in using the technology. One of these companies, Spiideo, uses Machine learning to automatically stream and record sports, highlighting key events - all automatically without a cameraman. However, these cameras have to undergo a lengthy calibration process involving manual feature extraction. This work

Politisk konsumtion är en växande konsumentrörelse där individer konsumerar inte enbart för att maximera egennytta, utan även för att skapa godartad samhällelig förändring, lokalt som globalt. Den teoretiska debatten kring detta fenomen vilar på grunder såsom neoklassisk marknadsekonomi och idén om den suveräna konsumenten. Koncept som har problematiserats och ifrågasatts i relation till denna dis

En viktig sak vi kan göra för att minska avfallets miljöpåverkan är att återvinna. Människorna på denna planet har ett viktigt ansvar, genom att sortera sitt hushållsavfall ökar vi återvinningen. Och genom att göra det kan vi minska utsläppen av växthusgaser, vilket är en stor miljövinst. Därför är det viktigt att människor tar ansvar för sin konsumtion och även sin återvinning av hushållsavfaWhat do people residing in Hässleholm municipality really think about the sorting of their household waste? And do they understand why it`s important to sort their waste? By sorting and recycling our waste, we reduce our environmental impact. And when we do this, greenhouse gas emissions can reduce, which gives us a great environmental benefit. The goal of this study was to analyze the sorting
