With the development of low energy buildings in Northern European countries, conflicts regarding balancing daylight and energy performances in buildings arise. Therefore, design solutions that balance daylight and energy performances in buildings are needed. MKB Greenhouse is a newly-built, Miljöbyggnad Gold and Feby-Passive House certified, multi-family housing in Malmö, Sweden. Greenhouse also e

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how studying through remote learning during the Covid-19 pandemic could be like. This was examined through the experiences of eight school counselors regarding the situation of high school students during the pandemic. All school counselors work within the region of Skåne in Sweden. The collecting of the empirics was carried out by semi structured i

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ur ett genusperspektiv belysa hur unga kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi uppfattar att könsnormer har påverkat deras insjuknande och vidmakthållande av sjukdomen. Studien baserades på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av sex självbiografier skrivna av kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi. Självbiografierna är skrivna av kvinnor i Sverige år 2000–2019. AnalThe aim of this study was to examine and explore women's experiences of how gender norms affect the onset and duration of anorexia nervosa in young women from a gender perspective. The focus of the study was on the women’s own story of the role gender norms played in the course of their illness. The study was based on a qualitative analysis of a selection of six autobiographies written by wome

The topic of financial inclusion has attracted attention from several researchers and policymakers in the recent years. However, there has been limited number of studies in the context of Vietnam, especially to explore the factors driving financial inclusion in the country. The thesis aims to investigate the determinants of financial inclusion in Vietnam with a focus on a special group: the remitt

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

Background: Win statistics offer an alternative approach to clinical trials that use survival analysis to analyze composite endpoints. Our objective was to re-analyze data from previously published registry-based randomized controlled trials that produced hazard ratios using win statistics to evaluate the correspondence between them. Good correspondence was defined as both results being positive,

Ökande marktemperaturer har rapporterats från hela Arktis. Marktemperaturen är känslig för klimatförändringar och spelar en viktig roll för biologiska och fysiska processer i jorden. I områden med permafrost (mark som är frusen minst två år i följd) kan en ökad marktemperatur leda till att permafrosten tinar, vilket kan få genomgripande konsekvenser på vegetation, hydrologi och infrastruktur. UpptIncreasing ground temperatures have been documented all around the Arctic. Ground temperatures are sensitive climate indicators and play an important role in biological and physical processes that occur in soils. Increases in ground temperatures can lead to permafrost thawing which in turn can have profound effects on vegetation, hydrology and infrastructure. Also the greenhouse gas balance can be

This Master’s thesis was done in collaboration with ABB Force Measurement and the task was to develop a product design concept of an electronic unit, used as a controller in ABB Force Measurement’s product systems. As part of the result a guide to be used when working with industrial design questions was also made. ABB Force Measurement develops measurement products mostly used by the rolling mil

The purpose of this thesis was to develop and design a new machine for fatigue testing of bicycles. It was carried out for and in close cooperation with Svensk Maskinprovning AB, The Swedish Machinery Testing Institute. The machine was to test certain bicycle components according to a new standard of certification, valid in the entire EU. The goal was to attack the problem as openmindedly as possi

Aims and objectives: The aim of the study is to look at how national identity and culture and politics meet in minority language media. The focus is on studying how the minority language media portrays the relationship of the minority and the two countries, the one of origin and the one of residence. The aim is also to find out if the minority status of the minority group for which the media conte

The recycling sector and the solid waste management systems (SWMS) in developing countries greatly rely on scavengers, a vulnerable and marginal urban population that recover items or materials to be reused or recycled. As a new mindset towards waste emerges, considering it a resource instead of something useless and undesirable; governments, NGOs, private companies and other stakeholders slowly r

An (ab)normal life The aim with this study was to analyse how housing supporters describe their approach towards mentally impaired people. The peer group, who needs housing support, are people who live in their own homes and are 18 years old or older. The Swedish psychiatric reform was implemented 1995 due to the deinstitutionalization. The purpose of the reform was to improve the living conditio

The Bank Lending Channel, proposed by Bernanke & Blinder (1988), among other transmission mechanisms, is hypothesized to exist in China because of the dominance of the Chinese banking system. This paper mainly investigates the effect of monetary policy rate change on the lending behavior of Chinese banks. The study firstly used the aggregated data of all banks including policy banks, commercia

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine how young adults with non-European background and with an upbringing in a city associate to nature and what may have influenced these associations. Given that a majority of people live in cities, there is a risk that many young people do not spend time in natural environments, which may affect their associations to nature and also their environment

This master thesis was performed at the company Radinn AB in Lund, Sweden. The company develops and will in the coming year start to sell their first product which is an electric powered wakeboard. As the company not yet has started selling this board and it is a newly started company some information will be held as a secret to the reader. The wakeboard is in need of a control to set the throttle

Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.
