This thesis will examine the increased amount of information made available through modern media, and how this affects the diversity in consumption. The thesis will focus on how diversity in music consumption has evolved over the years. There are two contradicting theories that try to describe the impact modern media could have on consumption, the theory of the Long Tail and the Superstar effect.
Aerosolpartiklar är mycket små föreningar av olika gaser samt solida ämnen på storlekar mellan 1 nm till 100 um. Dessa partiklar släpps ut i samband med förbränning, och kan påverka både klimatet samt vår hälsa. Generellt påverkar aerosolpartiklarna klimatet genom att ha en kylande effekt på atmosfären, även om t.ex. sotpartiklar värmer atmosfären eftersom de absorberar solljus. Sulfatpartiklar ärMost aerosol particles emitted from shipping affect the climate by counteracting the greenhouse effect. Although, this masks the warming effect of greenhouse gases, aerosol particles also have a negative health effects, and therefore emissions need to be reduced. It is possible that the negative health effect could be a concern for not only city dwellers, but for people living in rural areas as we
The quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a solid state device capable of generating the coherent mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. It is made from layers of different semiconducting materials. This layered structure gives rise to sub-bands, that are employed to achieve charge inversion necessary for lasing. However, the large number of interfaces that are not perfect strongly influences the operatio
Previous research has showed that Iranian immigrant women integrate easier and have a more positive attitude towards the Swedish society than Iranian men when they resettle here. In light of this, I employ a gender and social identity approach with the intent to understand the integration differences between Iranian immigrant men and women from Iran who live in Sweden. Gender and social identity t
This master thesis contributed to a project financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and managed by the housing company Eksta AB in collaboration with the consulting Company WSP.

Metod: Det systematiska tillvägagångssättet bygger på en statistisk dataanalys av statistik från Naturvårdsverket och information från företags årsredoviPurpose: The purpose of this study is to examine if Swedish companies that received emission allowances during 2016 valued these at cost value or fair value. The study also examines the relation between valuation method and company characteristics. Methodology: The methodology is based on a data collection of companies provided with free emission allowances presented by the Swedish Environmental
Användningen av språkanalyser kan aktualiseras om den asylsökande inte lyckats göra sitt ursprung eller sin identitet sannolik genom att uppvisa nödvändiga identitetshandlingar. Analysen baseras vanligtvis på en inspelad intervju. Oftast utförs den av en modersmålstalande person utan lingvistisk utbildning, i samråd med en lingvist, som vanligtvis inte talar det analyserade språket. Det kan ifrågaLanguage analyses are used by the Swedish Migration Agency as a part of the process of determining asylum seekers places of origin. These analyses are usually based on a recorded interview with the asylum seeker. Each analysis is performed by a person who is a native-speaker of the language in question but without any linguistic training. The native-speakers are under supervision of a linguist, wh

Environmentally safe disposal of urban waste is a global concern that recently gained a new dimension through the lens of Environmental Justice, with a growing literature showing correlation between the placement of waste facilities and disadvantaged groups in society. This thesis seeks to verify whether landfills in the city of São Paulo are located in regions where socially and economically vuln
Today's corporate market is characterized by tougher competition than ever be- fore. In a changing society, companies must be prepared to change and develop their brands to stay relevant. In order to meet consumer demands and expectations, companies reposition their brand. However, a company can only control the change of the brand's identity and not the brand's image, because the imag

The thesis describes how the EU food- and health policies are shaped and how the lobbying works. The methodology used for the thesis is a qualitative content analysis
Models of physical systems are often expressed as a system of mathematical expressions derived from first principles. However some of the relationships present in a model are more conveniently expressed as a table, i.e. for certain values of independent variables the values of dependent variables are known. This imposes a limitation on the optimization software to be used, since optimization softw
Implications of the whole - an examination of three public art works; Park Play, On site in Fridhem and Monument to Work The following thesis investigate three different public art works realized in Sweden during the 2000’s. These include "Park Lek" by Kerstin Bergendal, "På plats i Fridhem" by Astrid Göransson and "Arbetets Monument" by Alexandra Pirici. All three a
To attract and to appeal to their consumers, designs and concepts of advertisements continually have to be changed in an industry that is saturated with similar campaigns. In this thesis, I analyse how this change is created through the depiction of “ugly models”. The focus lies on the way of their presentation in advertisements in order to make the “ugly” attractive. Based on the models’ presenta
Rapid urbanization has dramatically increased housing demand in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. To alleviate housing shortage, the city of Hanoi has developed a housing program of which the major part is housing development through new urban area projects. New urban area, or new town, projects are large-scale developments designed mainly for residential purposes, with integrated infrastructure
One particular approach of behavioral economics has gained attention within environmental politics during the last decade. The idea of nudging (“gently pushing”) people in situations of decision-making towards the choice that in the long run is best for them as well as for the society and/or the environment seems to attract policy makers around the world. Many governments inside and outside the EU
The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to gain insight to how injection molded nanostructures could be used together with hearing instrument materials. The reason to investigate this new nanotechnology was to see if it is of interest for Oticon to invest in. To reach conclusions, literature was studied regarding surfaces wetting properties, capillary effects, adhesion and material properties.
Have you ever taken a closer look at the packages in your home? They consist of several layers of different materials, among them layers of polymer. They all contribute to protect the product.In this thesis methods for measuring and calculating the adhesion between the inside polymer layer and the aluminium layer of Tetra Pak’s packaging materials have been investigated. This was done both by exploring the possibilities of combining peel tests with the ICPeel method, and by developing ideas for new measuring methods. One of the ideas was built on a test setup for a close-to normal dire
Situation Awareness is defined as: “The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and projection of their status in the future”. For a power system operator, sufficient Situation Awareness is achieved, when they know the current state of the system, why the system is in that particular state, and know if the power system wi
