A common belief is that left-wing parties tend to use their influence to expand the public sector by increasing taxes – but is this belief supported by data? This study aims to find the causal effect of having left-wing majority and left-wing rule on a set of economic and policy outcomes by using panel data of Swedish local governments between 1995 and 2018. A regression discontinuity design is ap

We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to
The recovery of ‘waste heat’ from industrial and urban processes could meet a significant share of heating demands in urban and semi-urban areas. Replacing conventional heat sources in district heating (DH) systems with recovered heat could decrease primary energy inputs in a sector that globally relies to 90% on fossil fuels. Yet, despite the environmental, social, and economic benefits of waste
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera hur könsnormer i samhället får reella konsekvenser för manliga brottsoffer och huruvida detta ligger i linje med teorier om offer och maskulinitet. Två redan utförda intervjuer har analyserats och två intervjuer har genomförts som en del av denna studie, där fokus för analys har legat på manliga offers berättelser om deras upplevelser och hur deras
Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati
Wildfires pose a serious threat to communities in different parts of the world, mostly in regions with a warmer climate. Due to the increased urbanization next to the forest and climate change, they are currently an issue to be addressed also in other parts of the world. The purpose of this thesis is to provide a first step in the direction of creating a holistic Vulnerability Assessment Method (V

Utvärdering av regenerationsmetoder for jonutbytar-filter och modellering av jonutbytar-filter. Förbättring av nuvarande metoder för bukhinnedialys behöver undersökas eftersom i en av Baxters jonutbytar metoder används kemiska jonutbytar filter tills de är förbrukade och därefter slängs de. Därför är det av intresse att utvärdera metoder för att återskapa förbrukade jonutbytar-filter så de kan åtIn peritoneal dialysis ultrapure water used is produced from tap water by using several filter cartridges in series. One of the cartridges is an ion exchange filter removing cations and anions by either reverse osmosis membrane or chemical ion exchange resin. The ion exchange filter that is investigated in this thesis is a chemical ion exchange filter. The current chemical ion exchange system has
This study had the aim to approach the question of how the different traits in OCEAN get affected by norms more specifically normative belief, motivation to comply and identification with the referent as described in the Theory of Planned Behaviour. The method of choice was a digital survey, constructed as a modified IPIP, which was divided by self-estimation, descriptive normative belief, injunct
Mellan hösten 2019 och våren 2020, fängslades både professionella och amatöra astronomer av de besynnerliga händelserna av Betelgeuse. Den särskiljande, lysande röda supergiant av Orions axel, vanligtvis den tionde ljusaste stjärnan på himlen, började dämpa sig dramatiskt. Detta fick många att spekulera om dess överhängande förstörelse i en kataklysmisk supernovaexplosion. Man tror nu att denna tiThe role of massive stars (those with masses greater than eight solar masses) in the chemical enrichment of galaxies and renewed star formation forms an important field of fundamental research in modern astrophysics. The complex nature of massive star evolution produces formidable challenges in furthering our understanding of the processes driving massive star evolution. Our ever-changing picture
In the context of surveillance, radars are used for object detection and classification. This thesis considers a four-step pipeline for radar point cloud analysis: (1) measurement, (2) clustering, (3) tracking, and (4) classification. The clustering step of the pipeline uses only the spatial coordinates of the points to group them together. By performing semantic segmentation before the clustering
Filter är avgörande för att hantera alla typer av signaler i den digitala tidsåldern, inklusive ljud-, bild- och biosignaler. De är mångsidiga och passar ett stort antal problem. Intuitivt sett fungerar ett filter i “signal processing” som vilket filter som helst, så att vi kvarstår med väsen av ingånsgssignalen: ett kaffefilter verkar för att producera väsen i kaffebönorna; en högtalare agerar fö
By increasing the amount of CO2 emissions to the atmosphere because of using fossil fuel and the limitation of non-renewable energy sources, solar photovoltaics technology has been growing steadily and is thought to play an important role in the realm of future energies. The objective of this thesis is to investigate the potential of the rooftops for installing PV system on a small scale of 30 mu
Bröd är ett av världens mest konsumerade livsmedel. Med en färskvara som bröd och i så stora mängder uppstår alltid mycket matsvinn. Bara i Sverige är det estimerat att det slängs bröd för 2,4 miljarder kronor varje år. Detta oftast till följd av att brödet inte håller sin kvalitet tillräckligt länge. Dessutom har brödet som många äter blivit mindre nyttigt till följd av dess låga fiberhalter då mIntroduction. Bread is one of the most consumed foods in the world today. It is also the cause for major food waste streams. Most breads have turned into high glycaemic index products with low nutritional value. This master’s thesis investigated whether the soluble oat fiber ß-glucan (BG) would have positive effects on the abovementioned. There are health claims associated with different doses of

This project is about focusing a Gaussian laser beam that has a spatial phase profile applied by a spatial light modulator. The goal is to be able to control the shape, position and phase of the peak at the focus and to split up the peak at the focus into several peaks. Controlling the profile of the beam at the focus has interesting applications for opto-optical modulation. A code was written in
