E-handelstillväxten har ökat i takt med digitaliseringen vilket har förändrat hur man konsumerar. Den svenska dagligvaruhandeln på nätet är en relativt ny bransch som förväntas växa i en snabbare takt än den totala e-handeln. I takt med globaliseringen har matindustrin blivit ohållbar då det bland annat bidragit till ökat matsvinn och miljöförstöring. I samband med miljödebatten har konsumentens v

Throughout history it has always been crucial to accurately measure, track, and predict precipitation. This has been done using various methods with varying degrees of precision. As the world evolves and as urban areas expand, it has become more apparent that there is a need for a more efficient way to observe and record precipitation. During the summer of 2018, an X-band weather radar located in
Ämneslärarstudenters utveckling av didaktiskt yrkeskunnande är en central pedagogisk fråga. I denna studie analyseras djupintervjuer med sex VFU-handledare om kunskap, handledning och undervisning. Intervjuerna analyseras i ljuset av forskning dels om VFU-handledares inflytande på ämneslärarstudenter och dels om epistemiska praktiker och epistemisk kompetens – begrepp från en nyare pedagogisk-psyk
Studiens syfte är att undersöka dels om betald budpremie vid gränsöverskridande förvärv skiljer sig från motsvarande för inhemska förvärv och dels om landspecifik risk påverkat erlagd budpremie under åren 2011 - 2018. Studien följer strukturen för en deduktiv arbetsmetod, i vilken befintliga teorier analyseras för att formulera hypoteser om vald variabels påverkan på budpremien. Vidare har författ
This study charts the possibilities of recycled plastic and its use as an alternative building material for low-income housing in Colombia. The building materials in the study have been compared with respect to their physical properties, the cost and how they affect the indoor climate in each building. Colombia is a country that has been subjected to civil war for many years, which has contribute
Kommuner och regioner kan ansöka om stadsmiljöavtal för att få ekonomiskt stöd för projekt som förbättrar framkomligheten för kollektivtrafik, cykel och gång. Projekten strävar efter mer hållbara stadsmiljöer med hänsyn till persontransporter och markanvändning. De första stadsmiljöavtalen beviljades 2015. Vid slutet av 2018 skulle projekten för de fyra första omgångarna vara avslutade. Det har tiThe urban environment agreements (stadsmiljöavtal) are a federal initiative through which Swedish municipalities and regions can apply for funding for projects that improve and innovate solutions for public transport, walking and cycling. These projects promise to plan for a more sustainable urban environment with regards to transportation and land use. The first urban environment agreements began
The aim of this thesis is to look at the attitude among governments and large corporations towards algorithms in general and with a special focus on artificial intelligens. This is done by examining five policy documents produced by three governmental branches and two private companies, all of them from Europe and the US. The assumption is that policy is one of the methods that those in power can
The Swedish construction industry is an example of a trade largely dominated by men. The main purpose of this study is to examine how said male dominance affects companionship among workers by analysing male homosociality and hegemonic masculinity. Based on six separate interviews with both male and female construction workers, this study explores the attributes that constitute an ideal constructi
A nocturnal jet is a low level air jet that is often seen at an altitude below 500 m during night time conditions. It can reach wind speeds of storm force and is thus of importance for aviation and also for transport of e.g. moisture and pollutants in the lower troposphere. By comparing wind speed measurements at 150 m at Hyltemossa research station (measured by ICOS Sweden) to the logarithmic win
With the ever increasing demand for higher data rates and reliability, efficient management of cellular networks remains a challenge. Among other technologies, fifth generation systems are expected to tackle this challenge using large electronically controllable antenna arrays operating in the time division duplex mode. In such systems, spatial beamforming is implemented with accurate channel esti
Bitumen och dess egenskaper har länge ansetts vara den viktigaste faktorn för en asfalts funktion. Egenskaperna som finns är hos bitumen är relativt enkla att kontrollera. Eftersom egenskaperna är relativt lätta att kontrollera och mycket kunskap redan finns om bitumen har dess egenskaper ansetts vara det som är avgörande gällande hur en asfaltbeläggning kommer att agera då den brukas. MätmetodernBitumen and its properties have long been considered the most important factor in the function of asphalt. The attributes that are present in bitumen are relatively easy to control. Since the attributes are relatively easy to control and a lot of knowledge already exists of bitumen its attributes are considered to be the decisive factor in how an asphalt coating will act when it is being used. The
Since the 1950s the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) has experienced several changes in land use policy. In the early 1990s the NCA’s policy was changed for the last time and the area became considered an experimental multiple land use system. This has resulted in conflict between the government and conservationist groups, who argued that allowing people to reside within the protected area will

In this study, the relationship between the returns of stock indices for renewable energy, oil & gas and technology is analysed in a European context with the use of a DCC GARCH model. Results show that conditional correlations peaked during four years following the 2008 financial crisis but has since then reverted to pre-crisis levels. Hedge ratios imply that renewable energy stocks can be sh
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur ett visuellt designverktyg för byggande av användargränssnitt till iOS, Android, och webben kan konstrueras. Även fast det finns en hel del verktyg för att designa och bygga mobil- och webbappar, så finns det i nuläget inga visuella designverktyg för att bygga en gemensam app för alla tre plattformar.
