Vi lever idag i vad som enkelt kan liknas vid ett uppkopplat copycat samhälle. Aldrig förut har saker varit så tillgängliga för oss och aldrig förut har saker blivit kopierade i den takt de blir idag. Ordet copy har blivit ersatt av ordet dupe och kopiorna framstår ha kommit in i finrummet. Fast Fashion företag som Zara, Primark och H&M kopierar de stora modehusen såväl som mindre designers. SToday’s society can easily be described as a connected copy-cat society. Never before have things been as accessible as they are today and never before have things been copied at the pace they are being copied today. The word copy have been replaced by the word dupe and dupes as such appears to have become a widely accepted phenomena within the fashion industry. Fast-fashion companies like Zara, P

In order to transform the fossil fuel dependent transport sector the promotion of biofuels has been crucial in the European Union’s transition towards climate neutrality. To ensure the sustainability of biofuels the European Commission published a Delegated Act on March 13th 2019, proposing the gradual phase-out of high emitting biofuels that may cause indirect land use change (ILUC) – one of them

The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed target experiment that will search for dark matter, but is still in the development phase. An important aspect for the experiment is the discrimination of signal and background events. Here this signal and background discrimination is inspected using a machine learning technique called a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT). This is done using Monte Carlo

Idag har de ensamkommande blivit en enskild grupp i asyldebatten. Samtidigt som antalet asylsökande ökade enormt under de senaste åren har debatten om ensamkommande blivit mycket aktuell i medier och regeringen. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera interpellationsdebatten om den nya gymnasielagen ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv och se hur debattörerna ritar upp en bild om ensamkommande barn.

I takt med att den digitala arbetsmiljön växer måste kraven på användbarhet och tillgänglighet tillgodoses. Detta projekt genomfördes i samarbete med Assa Abloy Entrance Systems som är en global leverantör av automatiska entrélösningar. Projektets syfte var att utvärdera och utveckla användarupplevelsen och användbarheten av ett försäljningsverktyg genom att kartlägga och förstå användarna och derAs the digital work environment is growing, the demands of usability and accessibility must be met with increasingly higher standards. This project was performed in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, a global provider of automatic entrances. The project purpose was to evaluate and develop the user experience and usability of a sales tool by mapping and understanding the users and thei

The foreign exchange (FX) market is today the world’s broadest, most active, financial market. One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points. The ability of this technique has, as far as we know, never been rigorously evaluated. In collaboration with the Malmö-based hedge fu

The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves

Due to changes in land use, as well as impacts from the climate change, our inland waters are now exposed to problems such as eutrophication and brownification. This complicates management to develop clean drinking water, as well as it leads to anoxic bottoms and reduces primary production. This literature review aims to see if wetlands can work as a natural filter to reduce both nutrients (nitrog

This thesis set out to continue the development of a short-wave infrared (SWIR) optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The system is based on a Yb-ber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) laser delivering 400 fs long pulses, centered around 1030 nm, at 200 kHz repetition rate and 40 W average power. The thesis focuses on pulse characterization, through use of frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), of

Uppsatsen undersöker hur små aktiebolags intressentrelationer kan påverkas av avskaffandet av revisionsplikten.

Vulnerability to climate change and the capacity to adapt to it are the result of intersecting power structures, system dynamics, and social identity markers otherwise known as intersectionality; and thus, differ greatly between contexts. However, despite the stark contextual differences between small and metropolitan cities, and lower and higher income countries, the policy and study of climate c

This paper analyses how China’s growing taste for beef due to rising incomes, urbanization and preference for higher quality meat shaping Kazakhstan’s inefficient beef industry, and how Kazakhstan’s government is attempting to make it more efficient. The analysis done through qualitative methods by looking into the data from primary and secondary sources.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) has an impact on muscles and movement. This happens due to brain damage before the age of two years. Either sometimes before birth, during childbirth or after birth. According to hjarnfonden.se, 200 children are added annually in Sweden with CP. People living with CP have these weaknesses for the rest of their lives. CP is not progressive disorder, that means brain damage can’

Sedan år 1965 finns i svensk lag inte längre någon särbehandling vad gäller straffansvar för gärningspersoner som agerat vid eller lider av atypiska sinnestillstånd. Lagstiftningen är istället utformad på det sättet att en särbehandling sker vid påföljdsvalet där det föreligger en presumtion för annan påföljd än fängelse. Utgångspunkten är således att gärningspersonen trots sinnestillståndet ska hSince 1965, there is no longer any special treatment in Swedish law regarding criminal responsibility for perpetrators with an atypical mental state. The legislation is shaped in such a way that a special treatment takes place through the choice of sanction where there is a presumption against imprisonment. The starting point is thus that the perpetrator, despite the mental state, must be held cri

Galectins are family of cytosolic proteins that function as both positive and negative modulators of various cell processes. Galectin-3 has an altered expression pattern in pathophysiological processes, such as cancer or chronic inflammation, which makes it an interesting target for pharmaceutical research. The treatment of galectin-3 ill-regulation was shown effective in serious conditions like i

Energy efficiency improvements have not yet been developed to their full potential. Further improvements are necessary to tap into the full potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing energy consumption. This challenge is particularly relevant in buildings, a sector that consumes substantial amounts of energy. Despite numerous public policies to increase the energy efficiency perf

Indoor air pollution is a problem of great concern, estimating to cause around 2 million premature deaths, with 400.000 cases suspected to happen in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this thesis, indoor air pollution emissions associated with the Ethiopian traditional coffee ceremony has been studied as a model for cooking exposure. Coffee preparation is a ceremony which is conducted in almost every Ethiopia

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett av de snabbast växande hoten mot folkhälsan varav depression och ångestsjukdomar ökar mest. Forskning visar att kostvanor har ett samband med psykisk ohälsa. Distriktssköterskan möter patienter med psykisk ohälsa i sitt arbete och hälsoprevention ingår som en del i arbetet. Syftet: Syftet var att undersöka kostens betydelse för psykisk ohälsa genom att kar

Bakgrund: Befolkningens ålder ökar vilket har lett till att Världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) har utarbetat en plan för “Hälsosamt Åldrande”. I planen ingår det att medvetandegöra äldre personer om sin hälsa och främja hälsosamma levnadsvanor som motion, hälsosam kost, inget tobaks- eller alkoholbruk. Dessa åtgärder främjar äldres hälsa vilket minskar både personligt lidande och samhällskostnader. S
