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

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
Cirka 35% av Sveriges befolkning lever med långvarig smärta (LS) och de ges olika bemötanden byggda på subjektiva bedömningar av vårdpersonalen samt baserat på hur patienten hanterar sin kroniska smärta. Syftet med litteraturstudien är att belysa hur kvinnor respektive män med LS bli bemötta inom vården. Den här studien genomfördes som en icke-systematisk litteraturstudie. Vid noggrann analys a
This mixed method study has investigated how a change process can be carried out in a public organization when faced with external disturbances. Also, it has been investigated what factors could explain or decide how employees of a public organization view a change process and what implications that might have for management. A recently finished major change process in Malmö Stad has been used for
Background – As E.ON’s solar panel business has grown significantly, they are interested in finding new methods of working with inventory management. Currently, it is controlled manually and without any support of structured analytical inventory control methods. Purpose – The purpose of this Master’s Thesis Project is to investigate and suggest a method suitable for inventory control of E.ON’s so
Studien syftar till att undersöka arbetsmotivation och arbetstillfredsställelse hos två olika grupper av sjuksköterskor kopplat till Herzbergs tvåfaktorteori, Self determination theory och Inre/ yttre motivationsfaktorer. En jämförelse av fast anställda sjuksköterskor samt hyrsjuksköterskor utfördes. Specifikt undersöktes skillnader och samband av hygienfaktorer och motivationsfaktorer mellan grupThe study aims to investigate work motivation and job satisfaction among two different groups of nurses linked to Herzberg's two-factor theory, Self determination theory and internal/ external motivation. A comparison between continuous employed nurses and hired nurses was performed. More specifically, differences and relationships of hygiene factors and motivational factors between the two gr
In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating. There is scope for furt
