This master thesis is a study of how three public libraries in Scania approach refugees in 2015: Helsingborg, Lund and Malmö’s public library. The Swedish Library Act states that public libraries should be available to and usable by all people. The purpose of this research is to find out to which degree public libraries have the possibilities to fulfill this Act, in terms of their organizational s

Many companies have developed a trend where they target different sexual orientations as separate segments in order to create a closer relationship to all consumers. However, when companies use homosexual themes in their advertising, it can be perceived as a sensitive area, especially when including minority group

Several digital technologies are now available to record and document archaeological excavations. A large number of studies have been published concerning the use of laser scanning, image based 3D modelling and GIS. By integrating different typologies of 3D data from Uppåkra, an Iron Age central place in southern Sweden, this thesis focuses on the development and evaluation of how 3D Geographic In

Under this hashtag, 1768 women testified of abuse within the organisation. This study aims to find the source to the problem presen

Skydd av samhällsviktiga funktioner är av avgörande betydelse för att samhället skall fungera. Hur man i dagsläget, vid planering och projektering av större infrastrukturprojekt, tar hänsyn till risk där det skyddsvärda är viktiga samhällsfunktioner är det som examensarbetet har syftat till att reda ut. Med viktiga samhällsfunktioner menar man funktioner som exempelvis transport, sjukvård, dricksvCritical infrastructure protection is of crucial importance for society to function properly. Moreover, for these critical infrastructures to work, physical infrastructure systems are needed. This master thesis examines how risk consideration in infrastructure planning is achieved when critical infrastructure preservation is prioritized. The thesis also answers questions regarding what types of pr

To evaluate the purpose of this study, literature as same as primary data, in form of a qualitative research, was use

Detta examensarbete har gjorts I samarbete med Tylö AB, ett bastuföretag med säte i Halmstad. De hade behov av att utreda möjligheten att använda universella, gärna likadana, gångjärn på alla sina bastudörrar i glas. Idag används flera olika typer av gångjärn beroende på var dörren ska monteras och alla olika gångjärn kräver olika typer av bearbetning på glasdörren för att kunna monteras. Tylö vil

The purpose of this essay is to investigate the social function, symbolism, and significance of the Scandinavian snake-head rings from the Roman Iron Age, and how this may reconstruct social identities. By studying the shape of the rings, their ornamentation, the craftsmanship behind them and the general contexts in which they are found, it is possible to reach a deeper understanding for the rings

Träldom var en form av slaveri vilken fanns i Norden fram till 1300-talet. I Sverige minskade träldomen troligen i omfattning under 1200-talet och försvann helt i början av 1300-talet. Det är dock oklart hur länge träldomen har funnits i Sverige och hur utbredd den var före medeltiden på grund av bristen på källor. Träldom förbjöds i Västergötland och Värmlands lagsagor 1335 då Skarastadgan utfärdSlavery existed in the Nordic countries until the fourteenth century. There is some debate regarding how old it is and how common it was. However, it is generally regarded that slavery grew less common in Sweden during the thirteenth century and was abolished during the fourteenth century. Traces of slavery can be found in Swedish medieval laws, the so-called Landskapslagarna. Though nearly all of

Shifting between living places has become a common routine for many people all over the world. On the other hand, some people like students and commuting workers move only temporary, where the feeling of home and simplicity of moving to a new place might be challenged. The starting-point for this project was to investigate if objects can make it easier to move from place to place both emotion

Although reinforcement learning has gained great success in computer games, there are only few yet known implementations in ndustrial applications. This despite the fact that reinforcement learning offers interesting methods to optimise the control of nonlinear processes. In this thesis we have used two model free reinforcement learning algorithms (PPO and DDPG) to control three different simulati

District heating is a common means of space and hot water heating in Sweden. However, the demand for heating is not the same at all times. On a yearly basis more heat is required during winter, while next to none is needed in summer. Since the demand for heat load varies throughout the year, when trying to predict it, using a model that changes with the seasons can give a more accurate prediction.

Intradialytic hypotension (IDH) is a major drawback of haemodialysis and occurs in more than every fifth dialysis treatment. There is a need for real-time measurement, with an ability to detect IDH before it occurs. Photoplethysmography (PPG) may provide sufficient information about hemodynamic status to prevent IDH. In particular, the venous component may be useful. This thesis aims to investiga

The year of 2020 was marked with an unprecedented outbreak of Covid-19 virus and a global pandemic. Not all businesses across various industries have been equally affected. This thesis investigated the difference in return of industries with dissimilar exposure to the Covid-19 pandemic under the lockdown and social distance intervention, and how this difference has evolved during 2020. We found ev

The term Middle-income Trap (MIT) is relatively new, originating thirteen years ago, but has since generated significant debate. It is used by politicians to channel national reforms and has given rise to a vast amount of research about growth slowdowns in middle-income countries (MICs). The term describes the higher prevalence of economic growth slowdowns in MICs, which impedes their transition i

During the years of the so-called refugee crisis, migrants lacking access to housing in Greece have squatted buildings or resided in makeshift settlements. Those homes have been met with state violence and continuous evictions. Those evictions are a form of migration control in the context of an ongoing disciplinary ‘management’ of migrant populations and their mobility in Europe and Greece. The t

The Convention on the Rights of the Child declares how state parties and civil society share responsibility in protecting children’s rights, as non-governmental organisations are intended to intercede when the state’s initiatives are inadequate. In this bachelor thesis the question of how international children’s rights organisations frame their legitimacy for doing the aforementioned is examined.

Technology transfer (TT) is a process that allows countries to acquire, adapt, deploy, localise and innovate technologies from other countries. In the case of international development, TT can help enhance the technology capabilities of developing countries and empower them to boost their economic development. Facilitating access to technologies through TT is an element often found in UNIDO’s acti

The present study aims to explore in what ways teachers at upper secondary level work in a diverse classroom with particular focus on the students’ heterogeneous knowledge of the English language. This heterogeneity, the participants experience, is primarily caused by the discrepancy between those students who use English to a great extent outside the classroom through, for example, frequently pla
