The major concept was developed with constant attention on the mobility of domestic furniture, and how this general concept shape shifts to manifest different ideologies of different backgrounds. In

This Master thesis is investigating how communities of practice can enhance knowledge sharing in a context of improving a harmonized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used in supply chain. A student from the faculty of production and materials engineering at Lund university (LTH) collaborated with the Global Trinity organization from Alfa Laval (Lund, Sweden) to answer the research que

In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. Normally stars within galaxies have low peculiar velocities but stars ejected with velocities o

The following study examines the nature of subjective well-being in a working context. The purpose of this research is to find out which dimensions are most central to well-being in the workplace. Thus, a questionnaire was used to gather information about the different dimensions (i.e., work engagement, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, personality, and well-being at the workplace). The statist

I samband med två konserttillfällen undersöks om högre musikutbildningar gör skillnad för individens lyssnande och ifall det påverkar hur vi lyssnar på och värderar olika typer av musik och genrer. Musikutbildningens påverkan på musiklyssnande undersöks. Målgrupperna på de två konserterna var medvetet olika. De två konserterna spelades dels för en publik som ej studerat musik och för en publik somIn connection with two concert occasions, I investigated whether higher music education makes a difference to the individual's listening and whether it affects how we listen to and value different types of music and genres. The effect a higher music education has on our ability to listen to music is the research topic. The target groups at the two concerts were deliberately different. They had

In this project, I wish to take a glance at what WiFi routers can do in the future. The new solution could make the current WiFi routers have more physical meaning which can impact our real life while providing indispensable wifi signals. Besides offering WiFi signals, WiFi routers adopted with FTTR all-optical networking solutions can control and monitor all the IoT smart devices connected to the

This thesis presents a qualitative study, which investigates how active members of various climate movements in Sweden utilize civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and their relationship with the political and legal systems. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with activists from Sweden, Hungary and Denmark, as well as observations of two court hearings. The stu

Partikelfysikens Standardmodell har gett oss en förståelse för universums minsta byggstenar, elementarpartiklarna, och hur de interagerar med varandra. När dessa interaktioner ska beskrivas är övergångsamplituder ofta av stort intresse. Dessa kan förenklat sägas vara sannolikheten för att en grupp partiklar ska interagera på ett visst sätt, till exempel vid kollisioner i en partikelaccelerator somThe chirality-flow formalism has been proven to simplify the calculation of helicity amplitudes, both analytically and in a first numerical implementation developed as an extension of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. Expanding on this work, two new implementations have been developed. The first provides an alternative algorithm for the evaluation of diagrams, where helicity amplitudes are obtained by combining

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur politiker beskriver Göteborgs problem med segregation på ett sätt som kan producera och reproducera maktstrukturer. Undersökningen har en socialkonstruktivistisk ansats och utför en tematisk innehållsanalys på artiklar skrivna av politiker om Göteborgs segregation. Det teoretiska ramverk som metoden utgår från är framingteori och kritisk vithetsteori.

Människor är beroende av ekosystemtjänster för vår existens och vårt uppehälle. Vad är då ekosystemtjänster? Jo, det är allt det naturen ger som skapar förutsättningar för, stödjer eller förbättrar i våra liv. Syre, mat och vatten är basala förutsättningar för att vi ska få leva, och kommer alla från ekosystem där det finns växter med fotosyntes, maskar som vänder jorden och grus och sand som filtEcosystem functions and services are vital for all humankind and our existence. Nevertheless, ecosystems are deteriorating due to human activities, while the influence over and partaking of their services is unequally distributed. A multifunctional landscape has the characteristics of supplying a broad range of ecosystem services, attracting stakeholders that will build diverse relationships to th

This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging

Objective: The overlap of normal and abnormal personality and personality disorders was found on facet and domain level, but only a few studies assessed the higher order joint structure. In this study, the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5-100 item form) and the IPIP-NEO-120 are assessed in their internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity and their joint structure, modelle

The discourse on beauty has primarily been focused on the white gaze to prescribe its normative standards. The white gaze conceptualizes the way in which beauty is dwelled on within society: the foisting of Caucasian-looking beauty canons on black women, and the veneration of whiteness as superior. Black bodies are vanguards, either being desired or erased. In literature, the expression “white gaz

Att bevara den biologiska mångfalden och därigenom stödja våra ekosystem som tillgodogör oss med livsviktiga ekosystemtjänster är av största vikt. En stor rik mångfald av arter ger ekosystemen egen resiliens och livskraft samtidigt som det har en positiv påverkan på andra ekosystem när de interagerar med varandra. Flera av världens ekosystem och dess arter är under hot av att utrotas. Detta i sinThis literature study aims to investigate prior knowledge of the effects of heavy metals on amphibians in freshwater environments. The methodological approach for the study is based on extensive searches in the database called Web of Science. These searches then gets narrowed down with the help of with strategic search words for the subject at spotlight. The final combination of searched words, to

Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammarThis thesis investigates the complex challenges arising from the recent reviews of permits for dams in Sweden, focusing on the crucial aspect of water resource disposition and its implications for property rights. By examining relevant literature, legal cases, and conducting interviews with professionals, this study uncovers patterns and potential solutions to address the issues at hand. The findi
