This thesis intends to explain the change of strategies to address coca plantation in Colombia before and after the 2016 Peace agreement. To do so, I build a theoretical model that draws on securitization/de-securitization theory and ripeness/readiness theories. The former theory is used to explain what kind of change was there between the different strategies. In this sense, I claim that policies
The purpose of this thesis was to provide Uniti Sweden AB with a solution proposal regarding which motors, sensors, control units and other electrical components needed for a steer-by-wire system of a test car. The thesis resulted in new motors, sensors and electrical components for the steer-by-wire system of the test car. The solution proposal made it possible to laterally steer the test car by
The purpose of this project is to study the read performance of transparent database-backed file systems, a meld between two technologies with seemingly similar purposes, in relation to conventional file systems. Systems such as the ARC middleware relies on reading several millions of files every day, and as the number of files increases, the performance suffers. To study the capabilities of a dat
Many companies today have a security system containing of devices such as cameras and other devices with some trigger functionality built in. It’s essential to be able to control all existing triggers in a security system for it to work flawlessly. As the number of triggers increases, the security system in question becomes more complicated to configure. Therefore, making configuration from an eas
Due to computation-intensive nature of LDPC decoders, a lot of research is going towards efficient implementation of their original algorithm (SPA). As "Min-Sum" approximation is basically an overestimation of SPA, this thesis investigates more accurate, yet area efficient, approximations of SPA, to select an optimum one. In a general comparison between main approximation methods (e.g. LUT,
Populism has become a political catchphrase across the world, spanning across the entire political spectrum in various forms. In Spain, the left-wing populist party Podemos is the most significant case, adopting a post-marxist perspective less focused on the economy than orthodox marxism. In light of this, this thesis examines their main economic program through use of Fairclough’s Critical Discou
The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the home care services quality work, and to what extent the quality work actually safeguards the quality aspects formulated as important by the municipality, the home care services and the users. The purpose was further to investigate in which way the presence of private home care providers has influenced quality work and the view on quality. T
Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida stora byggprojekt alltid går över planerad budget. Frågeställningen lyder: Håller sig stora infrastrukturprojekt och konstruktionsprojekt till sina budgetar? Slutsatsen är att det finns belägg för att många stora byggprojekt går över budget, det är flera orsaker att så sker. En del av orsakerna är lättare att undvika än andra. Det finns orsaker som är
The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö
The study aims to shed more light on the relationship between Internet penetration and labor productivity by analyzing the aggregate cross-country panel data available for a wide range of countries in the period of 2001-2015. An overview of hypothetical mechanisms behind the communication technologies’ impact on productivity is provided, while the Augmented Solow model is used as a theoretic frame
I denna masteruppsats undersöks hur fyra engelska diskursmarkörer översätts till svenska. Diskursmarkörerna i fråga är now, well, you know och I mean. Undersökningen görs med hjälp av en korpus bestående av 200 excerperade meningar innehållande exempel på diskursmarkörer tagna från fem olika brittiska skönlitterära romaner samt deras översättningar som är gjorda av fem olika översättare. Resultate
I denna uppsats undersöks hur Catherines och Heathcliffs sätt att tala överförs från engelska till svenska i tre översättningar av Emily Brontës Wuthering Heights. Uppsatsen börjar med att verket och karaktärerna presenteras. Därefter följer en redogörelse för de svenska översättningarna samt en presentation av urvalet och urvalsgrunderna för dessa. Efter detta presenteras utdragen från Wuthering
Det aktivitetsbaserade kontoret - En kvalitativ studie om den fysiska strukturens påverkan på kommunikation, kultur och gruppsammanhållning Denna studie undersöker problematiken med att allt fler företag följer den aktivitetsbaserade kontorstrenden utan att titta på den egna verksamhetens behov. Eftersom den fysiska strukturen har en påverkan på kommunikationen, kulturen och gruppsammanhållningen
This thesis examines the exclusion and socioeconomic marginalization of Afro-Latinos in Latin America. This population has historically been put in the ambiguous position of continuous inclusion and alienation within Latin American societies, which serves as the foundation for their marginalization and social exclusion. One way to investigate this unique position is to analyze the negotiation and
I denna översättningsvetenskapliga undersökning studeras anpassning till den svenska V2-restriktionen vid översättning från engelska till svenska. V2-restriktionen innebär att ett finit verb måste placeras på andra position i svenska påståendesatser. Denna begränsning är inte lika allomfattande på engelska, vilket innebär att engelska meningar som inte har en V2-struktur måste anpassas vid översät
The main aim of the present study was to study memory interference using a more ecological approach, where competing events can be separated by the environmental context. In order to increase the ecological validity of the study, context was manipulated through the presentation of video clips instead of commonly used static pictures. The second aim of the study was to assess if the contextual cues
Strax väst om Oslo i Norge är förundersökningen för ett stort infrastrukturprojekt, Ringeriksbanen, i sin slutfas.
