This thesis focuses on creating a climate adaptive and resilient neighborhood in and area currently serving as an industrial zone. With growing sprawl in Kampala and limited vacant land within the city Limits, the project focuses on developing inefficiently used areas within the city center and developing them into sustainable mixed function urban communities. This provides densification without t

Bakgrund: Helikopterskidåkning ter sig som en mer och mer populär aktivitet i Sverige. Det finns dock ingen forskning eller information om hur utvecklingen har sett ut. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera och diskutera hur utvecklingsprocessen av helikopterskidåkning har sett ut ur ett nätverksperspektiv. Frågeställningar: Hur har utvecklingen av helikopterskidåkning sett ut i Åre ur e

Syftet med denna undersökning är att bidra med kunskap kring lärande och hur det är kopplat till självförtroende, självuppfattning och normer i undervisningen. Jag har valt att intervjua studenter från Musikhögskolan i Malmö, där jag för närvarande själv studerar till musiklärare. Studien utgår från studenternas perspektiv och är avgränsad till två huvudområden, undervisning i gehör och notläsninThe aim with this study is to try to contribute to the common knowledge about how learning is connected to self-confidence, and how norms and expectations influence a learning environment. I have interviewed students from Malmö Academy of Music (Sweden), where I am currently finishing my studies in music teacher education. The study assumes a student’s point of view, and is framed a round two sub

Den så kallade Malmö-revolten är en särartad händelse inom svensk historia. Den står i gränslandet mellan 1800- och 1900-talets tidstypiska konflikter. Med drag av båda tider så blir det ett av de viktiga skeendena i Malmös historia. Uppsatsen under strejken och Malmö-revolten 1890, utifrån Tillys teori om konfliktdriven politik. Primärmaterialet är protokoll och tidningsartiklar.

Using agenda setting theory, I have conducted a content analysis of British local newspaper articles to analyze reports regarding the Munich Agreement, which was signed September 30th, 1938. The theory is based on the assumption that media "controls" the reality which is shared with the readers. In a pre-digital society, local media outlets had far greater influence over the public agend

This essay deals with the so-called Islamic State´s propaganda paper Dabiq and how the use of history in it helps create historically based depictions of the Islamic State´s enemies. I have analysed the first four issues of Dabiq from 2014 and used Jakob Dahlbacka´s definition of religious use of history and prophetic use of history as an analytical frame. I have analysed both text and images in D

This essay explores the paradigm shift in linguistics taking place in the Soviet Union in 1950. Marrism was then the current paradigm which was based on a peculiar interpretation of marxism in lingustics. Unable to explain the new problems of Stalins postwar nationalistic turn it was subject to open discussion in Pravda. Using the theories of Thomas Kuhn the essay deals with the discussion taking

In November 2010 the largest outbreak in Sweden, and the second largest worldwide, of the parasite Cryptosporidium in public water supplies happened. The cause is still unknown, but the effects of the outbreak were that 27 000 inhabitants in the city of Östersund got infected. This study is a research of how other municipalities in Sweden are working with, preserving healthy drinking water, and ho

När petroleumföretag letar efter nya oljefyndigheter har de möjligheten att på själva borrsträngen fästa instrument som mäter olika egenskaper i berggrunden. En del instrument används för att bestämma hur stor andel mikroskopiska porer den sedimentära berggrunden består av och vilken vätska som ockuperar porerna. Porositeten ockuperas alltid av en vätska - formationsvatten, olja eller gas. Dessa vEvaluating reservoirs with alternating sequences of sand and shale meet the challenge of quantifying the effect from clay minerals. The clay minerals have an impact on logging tools and the resulting data. When not considering the effects, a formation evaluation will present incorrect results on e.g. porosity and water saturation leading to management decisions based on poor quality interpretation

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting many neurons in the brain. Particularly nigrostriatal Dopamine (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) appear to be the epicenter of the disease. Cell death of these neurons is believed to be the primary cause for motor defects and many of the symptoms seen in PD patients. Many experimental therapies look to prevent

This study takes an in-depth look at sustainable procurement criteria used in the procurement of indirect services. A gap is identified in the literature analysis in the knowledge of sustainable procurement strategies and practice methods for the purchase of services and indirect spend categories. The author uses a case study method to investigate how sustainable procurement of indirect services i

The Berkeley Innovation Index (BII) is a tool developed for assessment of individual innovation capability. The index is based on responses to a survey that constitutes of questions linked to domain abilities, i.e., sub-traits, that are hypothesized to govern an individual's overall innovation ability. The underlying algorithm for the BII produces a score representing the test-takers' prof

The western culture has long been on the world stage in design, business, and cultural activities, while the beautiful Chinese historical culture is often forgotten. Culture communication and crosscultural design are fascinating fields. Combining design and business thinking is also an area that is worth to be researched. There are not many projects that have studied “cross-cultural” design with a

Post-humanistiska teorier ifrågasätter det med mänskligheten centraliserade perspektiv med vilket vi människor lever och upplever, beskriver och utformar världen. I ett posthumanistiskt perspektiv är natur kultur. Jord och djur är mer än resurser. Alla arter, och alla individer inom alla arter, är aktörer och subjekt. Modern djurhållning är en ofta onaturlig, ibland brutalt oetisk, konstruktion i

Denna uppsats har, utifrån kyrkoherden Sthen Jacobsens krönika "Den Nordiske Kriigs Krønicke", undersökt den sydsvenska och skånska åsiktsbilden på det Skånska kriget. Den har undersökt vad Jacobsen skrivit om krigets våldsamheter mot ickestridande, möjligt sidotagande mellan de danska och de svenska sidorna och Jacobsens syn på snapphanarna. Resultatet blev att en allmängiltig åsiktsbil

As the address space of IPv4 is being depleted with the development of IoT (Internet Of Things), there is an increasing need for permanent transition to the IPv6 protocol as soon as possible. Nowadays, many 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Networks have implemented or will implement IPv6 in the near future for Internet access. These networks will also use NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)

Hur man blir av med små mikroskopiska strömmar på nolltid Bakterie- och virusinfektioner är i dagsläget ett stort problem inom sjukvården, mycket tack vare att dessa blir mer och mer motståndskraftiga mot läkemedel och vaccin. En metod vid namn akustofores ger snabba och skonsamma analyser av t.ex. blodprov. Begränsningen med denna metod relaterar till ett fenomen som kallas akustisk strömning. DThis thesis provides strong evidence that acoustic streaming is suppressed when using liquids of inhomogeneous density and compressibility in acoustophoresis. Manipulation of extremely small particles in acoustophoresis is something that usually is impaired by acoustic streaming. The project was divided into three aims. Firstly, a particle tracking software (GDPT) was evaluated using 3 μm polystyr

Starting in 1980, this study explores the development of gender equality in China through an intersectionality theory and perspective. In this thesis, three definitions of gender equality are used to examine China’s gender equality development. The intersectional theory is applied as a way of highlighting the complexities of society and academics, for example the issue of categorization. This stud

The present study sought to investigate whether implicit gender attitudes and ambivalent sexism predict the appreciation of sexist humour. A computer-timed Brief Implicit Association Test (BIAT) was used to measure participants’ (N = 83) implicit gender attitudes. Explicit gender attitudes were measured with a Swedish version of the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory (ASI). Four short stand-up comedic vi

The Supreme Court declared §4(b) of the Voting Right Act (1965) unconstitutional in the case of Shelby County v Holder 570 U.S. in 2013. This is a recent decision regarding disenfranchisement towards African Americans which ends up not protecting the civil rights of all American citizens. Discrimination is nothing new in the United States but has become institutionalized over time which makes it h
