Today, in our ever-changing world, the concept of open-air museums, whose main purpose is heritage preservation, must meet the challenges of the times. These include finding a new role in the modern world, necessity to remain relevant, and addressing the challenges of funding for long-term sustainable development. Our master's thesis examines the case of Fredriksdal Open-Air Museum. We focus o
Fastighetsägare står inför ökande press från nya EU-regler kring energi och hållbarhet, samtidigt som driftkostnaderna stiger. Denna studie undersöker lönsamheten för energieffektiviserande åtgärder för fastighetsägare som vill navigera dessa nya krav samtidigt som de uppnår ekonomisk hållbarhet. EU:s övergripande klimatstrategi, inklusive Green Deal och direktiv som CSRD, EPBD och EU-taxonomin, sProperty owners face increasing pressure from new EU regulations on energy and sustainability, coupled with rising utility costs. This study investigates the profitability of energy efficiency measures for property owners aiming to navigate these new demands while achieving economic sustainability. The EU's climate strategy, including the Green Deal and directives like CSRD, EPBD, and the EU T
As destinations across the world begin to show signs of overtourism, further evaluation of the tourism industry is necessary. Current research is largely focused on understanding the relationship between tourism and housing prices, but neglect to take a destination's overall housing affordability into consideration. Thus, the study examines the relationship between tourism and housing affordab
Myoelectric prosthetics utilize machine learning(ML) algorithms to translate surface electromyography(sEMG) signal patterns into movement, allowing patients to easily control their prosthesis. While the use of conventional ML algorithms has been effective within these prosthetics, challenges still remain in terms of classification accuracy and computation speed. It was hypothesized that Kolmogorov
Pythia with Rope Hadronization, and the Canonical-Statistical Model with strangeness undersaturation (γSCSM), have shown remarkably similar results when simulating strange hadrons yields relative to pion yields as a function of event-multiplicity. As the underlying assumptions in these models are very different, a novel observable is warranted. The aim of this thesis is to show that K0S/(π+ + π−)
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d
Detta projekt undersöker hur ”Mujtama Al-Meem/مجتمع الميم” – queerpersoner i Syrien – hanterar begränsningarna som följer av samhällelig konservatism, politiskt våld och heteronormativitet i deras vardagsliv. Genom kvalitativa onlineintervjuer utforskar projektet hur queera syrier uttrycker sina identiteter, skapar stödnätverk och föreställer sig alternativa framtider. Projektet betonar hur motståThis project explores how ”Mujtama Al-Meem/مجتمع الميم/queer people” in Syria deal with the limitations of societal conservatism, political violence, and heteronormativity in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on qualitative online interviews, it explores how queer Syrians perform their identities, create support networks, and imagine different futures. The project emphasizes how resistance manifests

Studien undersöker om det finns skillnader i innovationsgraden hos svenska techbolag finansierade av koncernägt venture capital (CVC) respektive privat venture capital (IVC). Detta undersöks genom en regression av kvantitativ paneldata med ett urval på 392 bolag och 4 432 datapunkter. Datan är insamlad från Refinitiv Eikon, Retriever Business och PAtLink. Resultatet visar att koncernägt venture ca
Glycosaminoglycans comprise linear polysaccharide containing repeated disaccharide units. When one of the disaccharide units of chondroitin sulfate, glucuronic acid, gets epimerized by dermatan epimerase 1 to iduronic acid, dermatan sulfate is formed. Dermatan sulfate is essential in tumorigenesis, due to increased flexibility in the chain and enables interaction with certain proteins such as cyto
In today's digital era, where personalized experiences have become crucial to consumer interactions with brands, the balance between personalization and privacy remains a complex and evolving challenge. Despite the recognized benefits of personalization in driving consumer spending, concerns about privacy and data security persist among individuals. This study addresses the "personalizati
The aim of this thesis is to analyze how western wear is used in luxury fashion collections to represent masculinity. Historically, the western wear style is derived from the cowboy uniform in the early 1900s. Considering also that the cowboy has been portrayed as an archetype for masculinity both historically and in popular culture it is interesting to see how this archetype can portray masculini
This thesis analyses how different combinations of humor and a celebrity endorser’s image in advertising influence a company’s brand image. The research has been extended in all four categories of products. Moreover in this paper, 4 positive and 5 negative factors affecting brand image were identified. Primary data has been collected from 10 interviews with participants who have moderate to high
The optimal functioning of supply chains is imperative for companies to stay competitive. A significant part of the cost reduction in supply chains can be achieved through efficient warehousing. As market dynamics have changed, coupled with the additional strain on warehouse activities, the importance of streamlined warehouse operations has increased. Order picking, the biggest cost driver in a wa
The need for sustainability is increasingly pressing, imposing significant demands on infrastructure and its fossil footprint. The Swedish railway network currently fails to meet future requirements, while new high-speed rail lines struggle to be established. Tight economic constraints necessitate significant time and cost savings to ensure successful project implementation. To take a step closer

This thesis proves the successful synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) monolayers on the tantalum carbide (TaC) (111) substrate through a novel bottom-up growth method, offering improved control over the supply of constituent materials for a more detailed study of the formation process. Initial examination of the clean TaC(111) surface revealed surface-induced states in its electronic band structure
This paper utilizes the 2008 capping of the Swedish property tax, which decreased the tax at different rates below and above the cap, to estimate the income effect. Using administrative data on over 600,000 individuals over twelve years, we employ a Difference-in-Differences approach and Coarsened Exact Matching to study how married cohabiting couples around the cap threshold respond to the reform
