On a global scale, the energy system is the biggest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which accelerate the processes of global warming and climate change. The sustainability transition of energy systems is fundamental if the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to below 2˚C compared to preindustrial levels is to be achieved. Transitions ar
Singapore has remarkably transformed from a small and poor Southeast Asian island into an affluent global city-state today. However, in contemporary times, the distribution of the gains from the nation’s progress and prosperity has been increasingly unequal. An understanding of the extent of income inequality is imperative to reassess the current policies and resource allocation decisions. The aim
In this master’s thesis, the development of a new belt tensioning solution, for use in ASSA ABLOY's sliding doors is treated. As a starting point for the work, ASSA ABLOY’s current belt tension solution has been used as a reference. On this reference, an extensive problem analysis have been carried out, including interviews, field studies and laboratory tests in order to understand what is req
In recent years, insufficient obstetric care has been a highly debated topic in Swedish media and politics. However, despite reports on e.g. the country’s high prevalence of birthing injuries, the recent closing of numerous maternity wards and a severe lack of midwives, the development of Sweden’s medical birth outcomes has been stable. Thus, based on the assumptions that (I) said quality measurem
Syftet med följande studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys undersöka vilka diskurser som texter om manlig psykisk ohälsa i svensk dagspress bygger på och hur dessa tar sig uttryck. Det sekundära syftet är att diskutera vad detta kan ha för konsekvenser för större sociala processer och förändringar som har med problem relaterade till manlig psykisk ohälsa att göra. I dagstidningarna AfThe purpose of this study is to, through a critical discourse analysis, examine what discourses are being used in texts about men’s mental illness in Swedish newspapers and in what way these are manifested. The purpose is further to discuss what possible consequences of the discourse practice there are in relation to wider social processes and changes that surround problems related to men’s mental
Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become
In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
Abstract Through today’s Cloud platforms, one can easily gain access to several services that eases collaboration and data storage. This thesis focuses on developing and deploying a web application, with the help of a cloud platform, which is able to search through data with the purpose of redirecting a telephone call. The thesis is done in collaboration with Telavox, who wants to broaden the prod
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
Problem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse
Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet. Målet var att designa en lösning som kan monteras snabbt, enkelt och med bara en handThis master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to extend the existing range of mounts for surveillance cameras mounted recessed in ceilings. A recessed mount is an accessory for mounting cameras, or other devices, in ceilings when a discreet finish is wanted. The goal was to design a solution that can be mounted fast, easy and with the use of one hand only. The comp
Det är viktigt för blivande läkare att kunna göra korrekta riskbedömningar utifrån patienters testresultat. Tidigare forskning indikerar att den förmågan kan vara bristfällig, men att den går att förbättra genom ett nytt format att presentera statistik på. Det nya formatet kallas naturliga antal och är potentiellt användbart inom undervisning i medicinsk statistik. Den här studien är den första i The ability to draw diagnostic inferences from medical test results is important for future doctors. Earlier research has indicated that this ability may generally be inadequate. However, it can be improved by presenting statistics in a new format, so called natural frequencies, which is adapted to the way the human mind process probabilities. If the effect of this format is robust and generalizab

This thesis investigates the key factors influencing startup decisions to reintegrate environmental sustainability objectives (ESO). By adopting an inductive and deductive qualitative approach the study uses semi-structured interviews to investigate the decisionmaking of five startups that have undergone ESO reintegration. The findings lead to the establishment of a theoretic framework by identify
Separation of cancer cells gives advantages in understanding the disease, guiding treatment decisions, and facilitating drug development. Overall, separation plays an important role in biological research. Acoustophoresis is a technique that utilizes acoustic waves to separate particles and cells suspended in a buffer medium. The efficiency of this separation process depends on the relative acoust

To Speak or Not to Speak: A Study of Upward Critical Feedback from the Perspective of Employees in Non-Managerial Positions. The existence of critical feedback that flows from subordinates and is directed to first-order managers constitutes an insightful source of information about potential internal issues that affect an organization’s overall outcome. Therefore, the presence of a two-way dialogu
In recent years, the interrelation between neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and entrepreneurial activities has received increased attention within academic research. While several studies indicate that individuals displaying ADHD symptoms show elevated levels of entrepreneurial intention and action, other studies found that these do not necessarily translate into entrepreneurial success.
