The housing question has been a core societal issue for centuries. Since Engels (1988) intervened in the debate in 1872, housing has become increasingly central as a commodity in financialised capitalism. Hong Kong has experienced some of the most problems with housing, as it has been the most unaffordable place in the world eight years in a row (Demographia, 2018). Yet, there is more than unaffor

Clay as a craft material has fascinated me for a long time. It is a very versatile material that can be so smooth and ductile but also, after firing, extremely hard and strong. Why is this material, with all its characteristics not used as an architectural material more often? I started looking at ceramic materials in architecture and found that they are somewhat related to the act of waiting. In

Despite a recent interest among geographers and planners in experiments in and on the city, urban experimentation has yet to be examined critically. This thesis takes on the challenge by conceptualizing the place experiment as hermeneutical, transformative, co-creational and geographically bounded, and further by examining the strategic use of place experiments in municipal urban planning. The the

Being fed through a feeding tube is a part of many peoples everyday lives, and comes with some challenges. One of these challenges are mobility. Today people with feeding tubes are able to stay mobile using a backpack, either provided by a feeding tube company or using an altered regular backpack. Unfortunately the backpacks are often seen as heavy and uncomfortable. In order to further und

The aim of this thesis is to find out how women artists and artists from outside Europe and North America are represented in chapters 19 through 22 of the book A world history of art by Hugh Honour and John Fleming. By examining representation in this part of the book, which is about modern art from 1900 to 2012, using qualitative and quantitative content analysis as well as cultural theorist Stua

Efter förstörelsen av städerna Hiroshima och Nagasaki 1945 började en kapprustning mellan Soviet Unionen och USA. För att undersöka inverkan av dessa bomber var testsprängningar nödvändiga. Konsekvensen av atmosfäriska provsprängningar av kärnvapen är att enorma mängder av så kallat kol-14 produceras, vilket är en typ av isotop till kol. Då de atmosfäriska sprängningarna till stor del stoppades 19Radiocarbon dating of human tissues has great potential in medical applications. A consequence of the complex path of radiocarbon to humans through diet is that the radiocarbon content of samples from human subjects is not directly comparable with the atmosphere's. By considering the harvest seasons in Sweden and its surrounding countries, a new software was developed to further investigate if

Uppsatsen tar avstamp i den samtida hudvårdstrenden som hyllar hälsosam, naturlig och ”glowy” hy. Baserat på bl a intervjuer genomförda under våren 2018 återger jag unga hudvårdsintresserade och icke-vita kvinnors subjektiva upplevelse av hud/hudvård; på det individuella planet som vardaglig ritual och på det sociala planet som hudvårdskultur på sociala medier. Ansiktshuden fungerar som symboliskt

This thesis applies the GARCH-MIDAS model to investigate the effects of macroeconomic variables, sentimental indicators, and financial variables on Swedish stock market volatility for the period January 2002 to December 2016. The GARCH-MIDAS framework allows the incorporation of data at different frequencies into the same model and decomposes volatility into two components. A short-term component

I syfte att få en bild av subjektiva upplevelser av självet hos personer med schizofreni intervjuades fyra personer som är eller har varit diagnostiserade med schizofreni och/eller har upplevt återkommande psykotiska episoder. Självet definierades utifrån the minimal self som innebär en omedelbar, upplevelsemässig realitet, och schizofreni som en störning i självet snarare än närvaro och utbredninIn purpose of gaining insight into subjective experiences of the self in people with schizophrenia, four people, who have or have had schizophrenia and/or have experienced recurring psychotic episodes, were interviewed. The self was defined as the minimal self which has an immediate experiential reality, and schizophrenia as a self-disorder rather than presence and prevalence of psychotic symptoms

Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin

The building industry in Sweden is dominated by concrete today. However, this material has a greater impact on carbon emissions compared to wood. By examining some of the general properties of wood and specifically cross laminated timber we have explored the basic advantages and disadvantages of this relatively new and mildly used building material, as well as, investigated why it has not develope

The mobile telecommunication network is growing year after year and it will soon move into the high speed 5G and Internet of Things technology. These new technologies will improve the throughput and data connectivity and due to that the energy consumption in radio and digital units may increase in a Radio Base Station (RBS). There are more than 500 000 off-grid RBSs in the world which are powered

Today, the world contains an unimaginably massive amount of digital information, increasing ever so rapidly and bringing about a wide range of opportunities across industries such as predicting future trends, combating crime to name a few. As a result, more and more organi-sations are investing heavily in Business Intelligence (BI) with the hope of gaining insights through data and analytics and h
