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

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
In scholarly literature, it is widely acknowledged that ‘the shadow of hierarchy’, hence the threat of disadvantageous Community legislation, is an important con-cept in European social dialogue (ESD), where European social partners – that is organised labour and management – are given the chance to negotiate binding agreements on some aspects of European labour and social policy. While the shadow
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geografiska informationssystem på internet är ett relativt nytt fenomen som främst har utvecklats från ett behov att distribuera geografisk data, dvs utbyte av digitala geografiska data och tillhörande tjänster. Men det är även ett kraftfullt verktyg för att presentera information på internet. Detta examensarbete i naturgeografi syftar till att skapa en webbaGIS on the Internet is a rather new phenomenon, which has evolved from the need of distributed geographical data. It is also a powerful tool for presenting information on the Internet. This master thesis aim to create a web based GIS application with information on lime spreading and the situation concerning acidification in the county of Kronoberg, Sweden. The web based GIS application will be us
In New York City, in the United States as a whole, and in the rest of the world, there are many projects with high performance features and environmental ambitions already completed or being built. Unfortunately, few projects are consistently followed-up and evaluated, which means that valuable information is lost. For this reason, this research attempts to gather information from high performanc
This postgraduate thesis examines various assumption models for energy usage for water heating used in Sweden. The models are compared with the measured energy use in a number of small apartment buildings. Norway and Finland currently use standard models for energy calculations during the production of new buildings but in Sweden the planners are free to select an appropriate model of their choice
Over the last decade, 1.8 billion people worldwide have been affected by disasters triggered by natural hazards and 740 000 lives have been lost. Due to climate change, these numbers are predicted to rise dramatically in the upcoming years. In disaster prone areas, remote communities and lower income countries are disproportionately affected and often lack the resources to prepare. Locating victim
In Sweden, about 150-200 children annually are born with some form of cleft lip and/or palate, making it the most common facial malformation in the country. Treatment often involves one or more surgeries and the speech development is followed up by a speech pathologist from the first year of life. One of the most common speech deviation for children with a cleft palate is hypernasality, which come
Sedan den ”nya köplagen” infördes 1990 har många höjt ett varningens finger för att dess nya ansvarsgrund vid skadeståndsansvar, kontrollansvaret, kommer att innebära svårigheter vid tillämpning avseende felsituationer. Till följd av att köplagens utformning inspirerats av den horisontella lagstiftningstekniken i CISG, samordnades nämligen säljarens skadeståndsansvar för dröjsmål och fel i den nyaSince the “new Sale of Goods Act” passed in 1990, many have noted that its new basis of liability, the control liability (sw. kontrollansvaret), will entail complications when applied to defective performance. The formulation of the Sale of Goods act was inspired by the “horizontal” structure characteristic of CISG. Therefore, the Sale of Goods Act’s provisions on remedies for the seller’s breach
The COVID-19 pandemic, a global crisis marked by uncertainty, exacerbated the dissemination of misinformation and conspiracy theories through social media platforms, thereby posing an additional health risk to society. This study employs Carol Bacchi's WPR approach to conduct a discourse analysis focused on vaccine resistance within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in order to gain valuabl

This thesis fulfills its aim by creating a theoretical framework in order to identify and analyze the perceived challenges of participative decision-making in hybrid teams, which are two concepts of growing importance. Previous research has neglected the intersection between the two, which is a shortcoming this thesis addresses by considering their challenges in conjunction. To address the purpose

CT scanning stands as one of the most employed imaging techniques used in clinical field. In the presence of metal implants in the field of view (FOV), distortions and noise appear on the 3D image leading to inaccurate bone segmentation, often required for surgery planning or implant design. In this research project, we focused on developing a pipeline to create a rich ground truth dataset, formin

Bostads- och servicesektorn utgör 40 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Endast småhus står för drygt 8 procent. Energin som används i småhus går i huvudsak till uppvärmning och varmvatten. 2020 var direktverkande el den vanligaste energikällan för uppvärmning av småhus (Energimyndigheten 2022). Elpriset har stigit kraftigt under det senaste året. Detta kan eventuellt ha påverkan på boendThe building and service sector consume 40 percent of Sweden’s total energy use. Which of only single-family houses are responsible for 8 percent. The energy used in single family houses mainly goes to heating and hot water. 2020 the most common energy source for heating these buildings was electricity (Energimyndigheten 2022). The energy prices have increased heavily during the last year. This ma
The aim of realistic graphics is the creation of images that provide the same visual responses that a viewer would experience in a real world scene. There are different rendering techniques that produce high dynamic range images that capture the full intensity range of a scene. These images cannot be reproduced on a standard display due to limitations in device hardware. Therefore, a high dynamic
The purpose of this thesis was to explore gender norms, beauty ideals and social practices and the way these become ‘visible’ on the Japanese female body as (re)producing the ideal Japanese femininity and skin color in particular. In order to achieve that, I investigate and identify these norms, the mechanisms that implement them on the body and the attitudes and expression of resistance against t
