För att lösa dagens bostadsbrist utan att det sker på bekostnad av värdefull mark, satsar en övervägande del av de svenska kommunerna på förtätning. Den främsta fördelen med att bygga tätt är att det optimerar förutsättningarna för variation i serviceutbudet och leder till ett effektivare utnyttjande av infrastrukturen. Dock påstår många att nya bostäder i samband med förtätning skulle ge värdesänIn order to solve housing shortage while preserving valuable land, a majority of the Swedish municipalities are implementing densification as a planning strategy. Denser development provides better support for a variety of services and optimizes public transportation. Despite the several benefits, infill development is commonly claimed to lower nearby housing prices. Studies on whether new residen

Fossil-based resources for plastic production is growingly being challenged by renewable material in applications such as wood-plastic composites. One company dedicated to contribute to this transition is Bio Fiber Tech AB (BFT) who have patented a novel treatment of the wood component for improved compatibility with the polymer matrix. This thesis was in collaboration with BFT with the aim to cha

Bakgrund: World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) har beräknat att ca 50 miljoner människor i världen har demenssjukdom och det är fler som insjuknar i demens sjukdom varje år. Det är betydelsefullt att den omvårdnad som sjuksköterskorna ger till äldre personer med demens är personcentrerad för att öka äldre personers livskvalitet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att beskriva sjuksköterskans erfarenh

Neurogenesis, the formation of new neurons from neural stem cells, persists throughout life but with a rapid reduction during aging. With such a reduction, decline in cognitive abilities and the occurrence of neurodegenerative diseases are imminent. It is, therefore, important to better understand the role of key factors involved in the reduction of neurogenesis during aging. Microglia, the brain-

As the COVID-19 pandemic spread across the globe, unprecedented policy measures were implemented by central banks and governments to dampen the effect on the real economy. Alongside the spread of the pandemic, research regarding how to simulate similar effects of the virus on the real economy and how to formulate optimal policy began spreading at an equal pace. The aim of this thesis is twofold. I

The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h

The purpose of this study was to explore the social concept of Safe Spaces from the point of view of LGBTQ+ peoples’ own opinions, critique and experiences. The method used was qualitative text analysis on 23 debate articles selected from Swedish media. These were analysed by way of applying Queer Theory, drawing mainly on Judith Butler, and the Theory of Freedom of Speech, drawing mainly on John

This thesis investigates how place can be understood through assemblage theory and what that implies for the understanding of human relation to place. The framework has been widely used outside and within human geography, at a few instances related to place. Exploring place as assemblage is done through a case study of S:t Pauli cemeteries in Malmö. Main methods are walk along interviews and obser

Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater

Early erythrocyte transfusion is common in infants born extremely premature. Research has shown that these children are at greater risk of morbidity later in life, and that iatrogenic blood loss from blood sample analysis is one of the contributing factors to the need for transfusions. Acoustophoresis-based plasmapheresis could potentially be used to reduce the loss of endogenous blood components

Migration mellan gränser är ett internationellt fenomen. Politiska oroligheter, ekonomiska förutsättningar, naturkatastrofer, anledningarna för migration kan vara många. Flyktingkrisen 2015 är den störta migrationsströmningen i modern tid, där miljontals varit på flykt av diverse anledningar. Men hur påverkas mottagarländerna av dessa stora förflyttningar, inte minst på arbetsmarknaden? Syftet

The covid pandemic has put light on a trend of office buildings experiencing more vacancy than ever before, given our working habits have been forced to shift from occurring predominantly in an office to mainly being pursued from our private homes. This project foresees a future where working remotely has become the new normal and proposes a residential program in an existing office structure, giv

Inom sjukvården är misslyckade IT-projekt ett problem. Orsakerna står ofta att finna i att systemet inte fungerar som användare och intressenter förväntar sig. Samtidigt finns det omfattande forskning inom Requirement Management som syftar till att skapa metoder och modeller för att undvika sådana problem. I denna studie testas en metod på ett case inom sjukvården i syfte att se om bilden av intre

In the context of continuous biodiversity loss connected to land-use changes and urban development, different methods such as biodiversity offsetting with the underlying aim of achieving “No Net Loss” (NNL) of biodiversity has been proposed. Compensation according to the mitigation hierarchy is one type of biodiversity offsetting which currently is being used in the municipality of Helsingborg, Sw

Title: The effect of Brand Heritage on Luxury Value Perception: “European vs. American Approach to Luxury’’ Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Orkun Aydın and Lusiyana Dimitrova Examiner: Mats Urde Supervisor: Javier Cenamor Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how brand heritage influences the different dimensions of luxury value perception. We aim to prov

Long term economic growth leading to development is as much about growing as avoiding spells of considerable negative growth, or shrinking. However, much more attention has been given to understand what makes countries achieve high growth rates than to avoid shrinking. Here we explore empirically a novel approach which proposes that five interrelated dimensions of social capability (inclusion, tra

This report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on

The juvenile discount for young offenders aged 18 to 20 years old has been topical and debated for a long time. The government has appointed an investigation to investigate whether or not a removal of the penalty discount for young offenders should take place. Legally speaking the investigation must further investigate the regulation of the juvenile discount which is found in chapter 29, 7 § of th
