På bara några få år har en mängd gig-företag etablerat sig på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Gig-ekonomin består av företag som förmedlar arbete mellan privatpersoner genom digital infrastruktur där gig-företagen fungerar som en utomstående part och avsäger sig rollen som arbetsgivare. Genom en kvalitativ textanalys baserad på texter hämtade från fyra svenska gig-företag, specialiserade på hushållsn
Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. Matola is one of the most populous cities in Mozambi
BACKGROUND: One of the major environmental threats to human health is air pollution. It contributes to premature deaths of millions of people worldwide. Air quality issues are growing exponentially in developing countries (West et al. 2016). More specifically, household air pollution that results from indoor cooking with solid fuels is damaging to the human health in LMIC. About 54% of global popu
Levande celler innehåller så kallade organeller som utför olika uppgifter och är viktiga för cellens överlevnad. Deras roll kan liknas vid organens funktion i våra kroppar. Många utav dessa organeller har en membranvägg, som skyddar dem från resten av cellens inre. Det finns dock även organeller som saknar omgivande membran och istället, likt en vattendroppe, hålls ihop av ytspänning. Dessa membraRecently, a field theory approach, using the Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation, was developed to describe biomolecular droplet formation in cells, through liquid-liquid separation. The approach has the disadvantage of having a complex effective energy function, meaning Monte Carlo simulations become difficult. Therefore, it has been suggested that the complex Langevin equation could be used inst
The relationship between the Eastern Segment and Idefjorden terrane prior to the Sveconorwegian orogeny has long been debated. Evidence of a common history is minimal and localised; at the same time, the notion that the Sveconorwegian orogeny formed as a result of a collisional event is also disputed. In this thesis, I analyse a region of the Idefjorden terrane, colloquially known as ‘B-Bulan’, cl
Pollinators provide valuable ecosystem services to agricultural landscapes; however, they are threatened by several factors of decline. Particularly for wild pollinator species, the effects of stressors neither individually nor in interaction with each other are well understood. Pesticide use is known to impart various lethal and sublethal effects on pollinator populations, and this use is likely
Studiens syfte har varit att studera hur mäns våld mot kvinnor framställs som ett problem i kommunala handlingsplaner. Ytterligare har avsikten varit att undersöka vilka antaganden samt implikationer problemframställningen utgörs av. För att uppnå syftet har uppsatsen tagit sin utgångspunkt i Carol Lee Bacchis (2009) policyteoretiska ansats What’s the problem represented to be? och analyserat fem

The 5th generation (5G) has recently specified a new spectrum range, FR2- 5G New Radio (5G-NR), to provide higher spectral efficiency and channel capacity for ubiquitous cellular connectivity where the user ends can be in various types such as picocell stations, sensor nodes, cloud servers, hand-held devices, and so on. Due to the advantage of phased array antennas in performing beam-forming, and
In this thesis several stochastic volatility models are presented and used to estimate the risk of a collection of Swedish stocks, as well as of a portfolio consisting of said stocks. Model parameters are estimated using the PSAEM algorithm. It is concluded that these model are adequate at estimating the one day ahead five percent Value at Risk of the data in terms of conditional coverage.
Craft breweries in Sweden are steadily increasing and they face a major challenge with the byproduct that is generated in the brewing process. The by-product is called wet spent grain (WSG) and the biggest challenge lays in its’ high moisture content which will make it spoil within a few days. Craft breweries are being conscious of sustainable practices when producing beer and the aim of this thes
To reach internationally agreed climate targets, it is especially important to phase out coal-powered electricity generation in favour of low-carbon technologies. Several governments have pledged to phase out coal power. However, coal phase-out is hindered by resistance of negatively affected workers, companies and regional governments. To reduce such resistance and to increase fairness within the
The core objective of this project was to design a controller for a drone (or quadcopter) that would allow the drone to keep a target in the center of a video filmed by a camera mounted on the drone. This was done by controlling the pitch of the gimbal, on which the camera was placed, and the yaw of the entire drone combined with using an image recognition program that could identify the target. F
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge and understanding surrounding changes in loyalty programs. The aim is to further examine how a change in loyalty programs affects customer expectations and loyalty. The study also intends to shed some light on how retailers might handle a change in a loyalty program whilst keeping their customers satisfied. Methodology: This s
Many migrants face difficult times during the integration in the new society, especially during the first stages after their arrival. Among others, they face discrimination, racism, and stigmatization, and they end up resorting to different techniques to cope with their situation, and they even change their identity and go through identity negotiation process with the surrounding new society.

Neutropenia is a life-threatening condition characterized by a severe lack of neutrophils leading to grievous opportunistic infections for the patients, such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The current treatment procedure for this condition is hospitalization and administration of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF), which in 2012 averaged to $24,770 for adults and $26,000 chi
This thesis adds to the social debate on the relationship between society and fashion consumers. In order to explore this, the phenomenon of fashion rental is investigated to provide insights on how fashion consumers account for their behavior in order to come off as respectable. The study takes an qualitative approach by conducting eight semi-structured interviews and exploring the participants i
The construction of Passive Houses is challenging. On one hand, there is a strong pressure to reduce the investment cost and on the other hand optimal energy efficiency should be reached. Hence that it is indispensable for architects, engineers, and constructors to avoid any causes throughout the whole project, that would lead to performance gaps and costs overruns. The purpose of this degree proj
