John Lucas and Roger Penrose attempted to refute Computationalism, the theory that the human mind is a computational system. They did so by utilizing meta-mathematical proofs by Kurt Gödel. I will explore various objections made against the attempt and discover that it relies on two uncertain premises – human consistency and proof for the consistency of a formal system. Revisions of the argument a

Energy efficiency and environmental questions have gained increased attention over the last decade. In combination with global warming and increasing cooling demands, the Swedish market for combined heating and cooling solutions such as ground source heat pumps expands. As it currently stands, the multi-family building market is highly dominated by district heating, while the market share of combi

In this paper I discuss the compatibility of externalism about epistemic justification with the well-known KK-thesis in epistemic logic. A weaker form of the KK-thesis (if one knows, one is also in a position to know that one knows) is first defended against Williamson's anti-luminosity arguments. Given some base assumptions about the nature of human beings and states of knowing, it is argued

Svenskt företagande har historiskt haft en stark ekonomisk koppling till Tyskland. Den tyska marknaden ses ofta som en attraktiv plattform för svenska företag att etablera sig på och en möjlighet till expansion av bolagets verksamhet. Vid en etablering i Tyskland väljer många svenska aktiebolag att använda sig av bolagsformen Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, som också är den mest frekvent anSwedish entrepreneurship has historically had a strong economic connection to Germany. The German market is often seen as an attractive platform for Swedish companies to establish themselves on and an opportunity for expansion of the company's operations. When establishing in Germany, many Swedish limited companies choose to use the company form “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", wh

This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate

Deliver us from evil! : A study of the use of the uncatalogued small print and ephemera at the Lund University Library. Since 1698 everything printed in Sweden has been delivered to, kept, and made accessible at, the Lund University Library. A considerable part of the material is arranged according to the principle of provenance in a collection with an annual growth of approximately 150 shelfmet

Gamification is a concept which can be used to enhance performance and motivation to learn with the help of game design. The present study aims to investigate the effects of gamification on performance, intrinsic motivation, amotivation, as well as exploring the interactions with personality traits. In two separate studies using a randomized experimental design gamification defined by narrative, a

The carbon emissions from tourism transportation have been a significant environmental issue. Studies have tried to investigate the impacts of sustainability initiatives provided by tourism transportation on travellers, but the target group and the types of transportation are limited. Therefore, the thesis aims to understand the environmental value co-creation process of sustainability options pro

The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a global recession that has had large negative effects on both men and women in the Swedish labor market. We examine how the Swedish strategy of not imposing a lockdown has affected gender-specific labor market outcomes: relative female employment rate and weekly hours worked. To begin with, we study the development of these outcomes in Sweden. Looking at relative f

När den globala marknaden ökar och e-handeln utvecklas blir lageraktiviteterna alltmer viktiga för företag. Lager i sig adderar inte något extra värde på de produkter eller varor som lagras i dem, utan generar enbart värde till kunder genom att kunna erbjuda de produkter som de efterfrågar i rätt tid, i rätt kvantitet och kvalitet. Således blir det viktigt för företag att studera processerna i ettThe warehouse activities have become more important as the global market increases and the e-commerce develops. Warehouses do not add any extra value to the items that are stored in them, but only to customers by providing them with their orders at the time they want it, in the right quality and in the right amount. This leads to the importance of studying the processes in a warehouse, and how the

This thesis attempts to analyze whether bitcoin can act as a store of value, unit of account and a medium of exchage, which is the three functions of money.

Some of the shortcomings of the Standard Model of particle physics are the 'unnatural' value of the mass of the Higgs boson and the fact that the model cannot account for the process of baryogenesis - a mechanism which generates the observed asymmetry between matter and anti-matter in the Universe. The former is related to the fundamental scalar nature of the Higgs boson, connected to quad

This Bachelor thesis studies the formation of quantum droplets in a dilute dipolar Bose Einstein Condensate with the initial shape of a torus. The main question to address is how this formation occurs as the magnetic dipole moment of the particles changes orientation with respect to the xy plane. The (mostly) attractive dipolar, and the repulsive contact and Lee-Huang-Yang interactions of the ga

Background: Social media has permeated practically every aspect of our everyday lives. One of these social media platforms is Instagram, which enables people to connect, communicate and share information with other users. The potential of these and social media influencers (SMI) to influence users’ behaviours is considerable. However, sustainability influencers, an emerging type of SMIs, have gain

Studien syftar till att identifiera skillnader och kvaliteter för det helprefabricerade mellanbjälklaget massivbjälklag samt det halvprefabricerade mellanbjälklaget plattbärlag. Det övergripande målet är att skapa ett kunskapsunderlag för val av mellanbjälklag i bostadsprojekteringar. Ett plattbärlags främsta fördelar är dess flexibilitet och branschens utbredda kunskap och erfarenhet av det. Des
