The goal of the project was to improve the workplace to make it suit all of the employees. To make people more effective and happier at their workplace, they should have the ability to choose where and how they work. The normal workplace today is very monotone, offers little variation and is also often very open. This could be to encourage collaboration but tends to lead to a noisy environ
This thesis tries to examine how today’s Russian disinformation campaigns can be related to the Soviet strategies of active measures by analyzing newspaper articles from the Russian state owned media outlets Russia Today and Sputnik News. The news articles are related to Swedish domestic policy, and this thesis uses a narrative analytical approach to find narratives that Russia tries to form about
De så kallade ränteavdragsbegränsningsreglerna trädde ikraft 1 januari 2009 för att få bukt med den skatteplanering med räntor som koncernbolag använde sig av och som inte kunde kommas åt med skatteflyktslagen. Eftersom det även med dessa regler fanns stora möjligheter för koncernbolag att skatteplanera med interna lån skärptes reglerna från och med 1 januari 2013. I den lagstiftningen tillkoThe so-called interest deduction restriction rules entered into force on 1 January 2009 in order to overcome the tax planning regarding interest deductions used by group companies, that was not covered by the Tax Avoidance Act. Since these rules also provided opportunities for group companies to plan their taxes with internal loans the rules were tightened from 1 January 2013. In this new leg
This dissertation explores the sustainability discourse of the Rainforest Alliance operating in Ghana’s cocoa sector. With a heavy emphasis on the environmental pillar of sustainable development, this study applies a critical approach to discourse to analyze the publicly available documents related to the Rainforest Alliance’s agricultural certification program. Documents pertaining to the concept
Det ryska militära hotet mot Sverige är baserat på flera olika hotfulla indikationer, och reflekterar ett försvarsdilemma för Sverige. Diskursanalysen belyser detta genom att studera vad det militära hotet mot Sverige består i och vad för praktiker detta genererar. Ryssland bedöms att ha som mål att inneha stormaktstatus och för att nå dit skyr Ryssland inte att använda sig av sin militära kapacit
This project aims to create a visitor center for the popular landmark Ale’s stones. The monument is an old stone ship located in the south of Sweden, near the medieval fishing village Kåseberga. The small village is in great need of a visitor center as the amount of visitors is overwhelming. The design of the visitor center is based on several analyses. The initial analysis examines visitor cent
This thesis is mainly focused on a proof of the Jordan Curve Theorem. We follow Tverberg’s paper: A PROOF OF THE JORDAN CURVE THEOREM, but add some more details and graphics in order to make this topological proof more understandable. Later in this thesis, the proof of the Poincare-Bendixson Theorem will also be discussed, as an application of the Jordan Curve Theorem.
The 2020 Covid-19 pandemic was accompanied by wide-ranging mis- and disinformation appearing largely on online platforms like social networking sites. The World Health Organization and the European Union urged citizens to be critical of sources and evaluate the information they were receiving about the pandemic. Since the promotion of information literacy relies upon the concept of source evaluati
Denna uppsats baseras på en jämförande undersökning av två av fyra befintliga svenska översättningar av den amerikanske författaren F. Scott Fitzgeralds roman The Great Gatsby från 1925. Med en kvalitativ metod som bygger på näranalys av textutdrag ur romanen och de båda översättningarna jämförs de med varandra för att utröna vilken som kan anses mera källtexttrogen. De aspekter som särskilt stude
Sverige behöver tydligare åtgärder och mål för att klara den gröna omställningen. Ryckig och motsägelsefull klimatpolitik riskerar att bromsa processen, skriver tre forskare i en ny SNS-rapport.
Artificial Intelligence Applications for Sustainable Construction presents the latest developments in AI and ML technologies applied to real-world civil engineering concerns. With an increasing amount of attention on the environmental impact of every industry, more construction projects are going to require sustainable construction practices. This volume offers research evidence, simulation result
Concrete carbonation is a prevalent phenomenon that leads to steel reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, thereby decreasing their service life as well as durability. The process of carbonation results in a lower pH level of concrete, resulting in an acidic environment with a pH value below 12. This acidic environment initiates and accelerates the corrosion of steel reinfo
Nowadays, strengthening of reinforced concrete structures with a new class of sustainable materials is the possible solution to retrofit the aged deteriorated structures. It is difficult to predict the capacity of the strengthened (FRP/FRCM) reinforced concrete elements without considering the bond strength. Therefore, the concrete substrate to Fibre-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) bond is a
Combination therapies in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), which include the addition of an androgen receptor signaling inhibitor and/or docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy, have been a game changer in the management of this disease stage. However, these therapies come with their fair share of toxicities and side effects. The goal of this observational study is to report
Copper transporting P-type (P1B-1-) ATPases are essential for cellular homeostasis. Nonetheless, the E1-E1P-E2P-E2 states mechanism of P1B-1-ATPases remains poorly understood. In particular, the role of the intrinsic metal binding domains (MBDs) is enigmatic. Here, four cryo-EM structures and molecular dynamics simulations of a P1B-1-ATPase are combined to reveal that in many eukaryotes the MBD im
With growing urbanization and increase in energy demand for space heating and cooling in buildings, reliability, security, distribution of energy and its efficient end use is of utmost importance particularly when emissions from energy use and indoor thermal comfort of the end users isof question. Numerous solutions have been put forth in the field of effective distribution of thermal
The lead intervention article argues that the new reality of the planetary organic crisis awaits a normative critical social theory of planetary politics, a means of understanding the sharing of relationships within International Relations and an agenda for action in concert found in the normative power approach. The article and subsequent 20th anniversary special issue provide an opportunity to r
