Considering climate change, the continuous degradation of the environment, and the uneven distribution of resources, this research project aims to shed light on the social vulnerability of people experiencing extreme weather events and possible connections to social phenomena. Specifically, this project focuses on how vulnerability to extreme weather events affects vulnerability to human trafficki

In this project I discuss perfection and perfectionism. The ideals in our society are challenging and sometimes impossible to live by. This goes for everything from social life, to looks and career. I based the research both on readings, talks, experiments and a own observations. In a survey I found that most of the participants that was in design school felt a lot of performance anxiety, and tha

In this Master Thesis a three dimensional Euler-Bernoulli beam model was implemented in the simulation software Dymola. The beam model is based on the Floating Frame of Reference formulation combined with the Craig-Bampton method. The theory is developed with the scope to capture the dynamic and static responses of a beam model in a compact and computer efficient implementation. The Thesis include

The Käppala WWTP data is modelled by using WEST software to evaluate how the storm water affects the treatment plant process and to use the flow data from Ryaverket WWTP to the Käppala WWTP model in order to model. The flow estimation method which gives best results for the flow data over a long period on the low flow occurrence is 95 percentile flow estimation method. This method was used to dete

Geologiska institutionen vid Lunds Universitet har en provpumpningsanläggning på regementet P7s område i Revingehed utanför Lund. Anläggning används av studenter för att se hur man kan arbeta med hydrogeologi i praktiken. I närheten av anläggningen ligger militärens CBRN-område, stora övningsområden samt så finns det uppgifter om att en brandövningsplats tidigare varit belägen i närheten. På anlägIn this study, I have examined a groundwater system located close to a military training camp in Revingehed outside Lund, Sweden. The study includes water analyses of substances in two of three aquifers. The study also shows the effects on the groundwater system when a well located in the third aquifer was pumped with 100 l/min during 3 days. Regarding the activities that has been going on in the

Malnourishment, food insecurity, food swamps and obesity. These are only a few of the detrimental effects of the current food system, a product of industrialization and path dependence within unsustainable practices. As sustainability issues in general, the inherent complexity that the Los Angeles food system is characterized by requires collective action by stakeholders from across the public, pr

Synen på hur chefer och ledare ser på sin personal har förändrats genom åren. Från att personalen skulle följa regler och inte få yttra sina åsikter, har personalens åsikter, kunskap och idéer istället börjat efterfrågas. Intresset för och kännedomen om betydelsen av ledarskap är betydligt större än för medarbetarskap. Ett ensidigt perspektiv innebär att den ena parten, chef eller personal, i sams

Med de miljonprogramsområden som byggdes i Sverige på 60- och 70-talet åsyftades att avskaffa den rådande bostadsbristen. Detta var en satsning som kom från politiskt håll, men i kölvattnet av denna satsning uppkom ett annat problem. Segregation uppstod på flera håll i Sverige, och återfinns än idag i de flesta svenska städer, och Helsingborg är inget undantag. Bostadsbrist och segregation beskr

Increased energy efficiency is a fundamental pillar to foster sustainable energy systems and a resource efficient economy. To that end, policies and measures to promote energy conservation and energy efficiency technologies are greatly needed in order to reduce or correct market and behavioural failures that prevent efficiency improvements, and resulting economic and environmental gains. To addres

Plastic and paper are well known materials, each and everyone can find it in their homes. Paper made from cellulose has been produced for over hundred years and also plastic is a very well-known material, but still there is not too much to find about a combination of these two materials. The objective of this thesis is to develop a packaging, which highlights the unique properties of the new mater

This essay examines translation of Swedish definite and indefinite noun phrases to Russian. Since the Russian language does not have the same way of expressing definiteness as languages like Swedish and English, this essay explores how definiteness is in fact expressed in Russian. This is done by examining literature and papers on this subject as well as studying and comparing two fictional books

This is a study covering designers working in the crossover between fashion and art. By addressing questions regarding attitudes when approaching the relationship between fashion and art, the aim is to examine whether or not conceptual fashion is something to focus on at the Swedish design schools and in the Swedish fashion business. These questions touch on the on-going academic debate and the pr

This master thesis studies the impact of intermarriage on the earnings of immigrants in Italy compared to the co-ethnically married counterparts. Towards this end, instrumental variables are applied on Cross-sectional data from the Income Survey (Il Bilancio delle Famiglie Italiane) which has been carried out within 2004 and 2012. Intermarriage premium is not observed for the full sample. However,

This thesis, in its general framework, explores the recent transformation of Turkey’s role in international sphere under the ruling AKP government. Upon the rise of rise of AKP to power in 2002, the tradition of Turkey’s foreign policy orientations underwent significant transformations and challenges which signified the country’s ambition to adopt a ‘new role’ in the regional and international con

Slow light and Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators are two interesting and useful fields with applications in optical sensing and laser stabilisation among others. Slow light can lead to long interaction times which are useful in light-matter interactions such as sensitive non-linear optics. Whispering Gallery Mode Resonators have small mode volumes and strong beam confinement leading to high Quali

High fuel prices and stringent emission norms stimulate the improvement of engine efficiency and emission reductions. This is one of the leading issues in the truck industry. A waste heat recovery technology (WHR) can be used to solve this issue. The evaporative cycle represents the WHR. This thesis is part of a research project which is carried out at the department of Energy Science at Lund Univ

Vid produktion av kallpressad rapsolja bildas en biprodukt, kallad presskaka som för närvarande säljs som djurfoder för en billig peng. Att hitta nya användningsområden för presskakan skulle därför kunna gynna svenska rapsbönder ekonomiskt. Odling av raps är den enskilt största oljefröväxten i Sverige och odlas just för att pressa rapsoljan ur fröna. Rapsoljan anses som en bra fettråvara då den inPress cake is a residual after rapeseed oil production, which is currently sold as animal feed at a relatively low price. In order to raise the value of the press cake and also to obtain non-allergenic food emulsions, it would be beneficial to extract a protein called oleosin from rapeseed. These proteins have been found to have good emulsifying properties. Unlike other sources of emulsifying agen

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera varför kinesiska köpare repatrierar kinesiskt porslin utifrån främst ett teoretiskt perspektiv. Pierre Bourdieus teorier när det gäller kulturellt, socialt och ekonomiskt kapital har huvudsakligen använts i analysen. En komparativ analys har även utförts av fem kinesiska porslinsföremål som har sålts till rekordpriser och fem kinesiska porslinsföremål som har
