This report elaborates on the renovation of residential housing development from Danish modernism built between the 1930s and late 1950s. The period represents a significant moment in the history of Danish architecture. Modernist ideas gained ground in the housing sector and secured attractive and healthy living conditions for Danish working- and middle-class people. The most renowned architects w
I den här uppsatsen undersöks debatten om 2018 och 2019 års Nobelpris i litteratur, med syftet att skapa en uppfattning om synen på Nobelprisets värde och dess ställning i prisekonomin. Undersökningen genomförs med ett kvalitativt angreppssätt och dess material består av 42 artiklar från fyra svenska dagstidningar och två svenska branschtidningar. Materialet analyseras med utgångspunkt i James F.
This thesis explores the topic of interpellation and subjugation in fantasy computer role-playing games (CRPGs). Using an assemblage-based framework, I argue that CRPG players are hailed and manipulated by the interplay of several texts and dynamics—mainly prose, code, numerical values, rule sets, and mechanics. My research focuses on games with extensive textual narratives that match—or exceed—th
Studien syftar till att undersöka uppkomsten av fenomenet alkoholfri reklam. Bakgrunden visar på att stora varumärken satsar stora summor på sin alkoholfria marknadsföring men statistiken visar på att försäljningen av de alkoholfria alternativen inte motsvarar investeringarna. Studiens forskningsfrågor intresserar således sig av budskapen i den alkoholfria reklamen, utformningen av dessa och dess The study aims to investigate the emergence of the phenomenon of non-alcoholic advertising. The background shows that large brands have invested a lot of money in their non-alcoholic marketing through the years, but the statistics show that the sale of the non-alcoholic alternatives does not correspond to the investments done by the brands. The study's research questions are thus interested in
Narrative and gender are both notions closely connected to culture and society. Narrative, on the one hand, is not just the art of telling stories, it carries deeper meanings, evokes feelings, and even affects our actions and interactions with one another. Gender, on the other hand, and specifically social gender, is defined as the gender identity that a person has shaped through his or her intera
A very common type of problem within mathematics and numerical analysis are fixed-point problems, which can arise as sub-problems of optimization methods, differential equations solvers and much more. The most basic iterative approach for fixed-point problems is fixed-point iteration, special cases of which actually date back as far as the Babylonians, where it was used to to find the square roots
This thesis analyzes the association between MSA-level segregation and labour market and educational outcomes in the US for individuals belonging to the three largest racial minorities in the US, namely blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. Five different measurements of segregation are included in the analysis and the results are compared across outcomes and minority groups. Data is collected from the I
The movement of a rock glacier located at the bottom of the Foxfonna glacier, Svalbard, Norway, was studied through the use of photogrammetry and feature tracking software, between the years of 2017-2019, as well as elevation changes between 2009 and 2019. This could aid in further knowledge about the rapid velocity changes of rock glaciers in a continuous permafrost environment. It was found that
This thesis uses a case study to compare the viability of using direct current instead of alternating current to supply power to 5 buildings in a local energy system (LES). The case study sought to show how using LVDC instead of LVAC could increase the effectiveness of solar panels (PV), batteries and interconnecting buildings into a local energy system (LES). The system studied in this thesis was
NIS concepts are increasingly being utilised to inform public policy, both in the developed and developing world. This paper attempts to add to the discourse on how it is being applied within a developing context, particularly within a country aiming to transition into one developing its own innovation capabilities. By examining Malaysia as a case study, utilising NIS literature, domestic innovati
This project is inspired by my own journey of house hunting in 10 cities across 3 countries in last 10 years and the search continues These experiences have made me curious to explore the urban dynamics of this never ending housing demand in cities across the globe The thesis examines the parameters associated with rental housing deficiency in Berlin a city that offers diversity and opportunity at
Most of classic psychedelic literature indicate its potential benefit to society and the environment during a time of rapid environmental degradation and climate change– hinting its potential role to sustainability and socio-ecological transformation. There is virtually no study drawing the explicit interlinkages of classic psychedelic research to sustainability science but it is observed that the
Flera dags- och kvällstidningar har speciella hälsosidor där det går att läsa om bl.a. mat och träning. Den hälsosamma livsstilen är positivt laddad: att ta hand om sin hälsa ses som en bra egenskap. Denna studies syfte är att undersöka vilka människor som lyfts fram på hälsosidorna och vilka som är osynliggjorda. Vem är den hälsosamma människan med avseende på faktorer som klass, kön och ålder? S
This study investigates volatility spillover between the prices of electricity at Nord Pool, carbon emission allowances in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and tradable green certificates (TGC) in the Swedish-Norwegian TGC market. ETS and TGC schemes are market-based policies with the overlapping goals of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and stimulating sustainable energy investments. A
