The aim of this thesis is to examine how the public artworks Fossil Composition (1955), Stone Flower (1955) and Tousle (1952), through their bureaucratic municipal processes, reflect the broader ideological ideas of the welfare state, or Folkhemmet, between 1951 and 1956. It also aims to examine what notions of intended municipal identity can be identified through the discourses surrounding the ch
I uppsatsen användes motor- och perceptions deltesten som tillhör Bender Visual- Motor Gestalt Test andra versionen (BGT-II) med en tillagd tidsvariabel för att utforska kognitiva nedsättningar i kliniska grupper. Skillnader utforskades både mellan vuxna deltagare med Autismspektrumtillstånd (ASD), Attention Deficits Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), komorbid ASD och ADHD (AuDHD) och friska kontrolleIn the present thesis the motor and perceptual subtests of the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test second edition (BGT-II) with added exploratory time variables were utilized to explore cognitive deficits in clinical samples. Differences were explored both between adult participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), comorbid ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and
Microvias are key enablers of next-generation high-speed and high-density electronic products. However, their signal-integrity performance can be affected by manufacturing-induced non-idealities, including tapered sidewalls caused by laser drilling and positional staggering caused by fabrication tolerances. This thesis investigates the impact of microvia vertical geometry and manufacturing-induced
In this episode, Prof. Benoit Mayer discusses the role of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in climate change mitigation
Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how
Research on the intergenerational processes of development has predominantly focused on the adverse consequences of parental childhood adversity, leaving the cross-generational effects of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) largely unexamined. Building upon Developmental Psychopathology, positive psychology, and the HOPE framework, the present study addresses this gap by conducting two meta-anal
In ultra high-energy collisions, nuclei with very low binding energies are not expected to survive the dense and hot final state environment. The traditional view has therefore been that nuclei form via coalescence after the hot environment has dissipated. However, statistical thermal models, where hadrons are produced from a fireball at thermal equilibrium, can describe the relative abundances of
Why has FRONTEX evolved without introducing a mechanism for accountability? This case study answers this question by examining relevant treaties and regulations concerning FRONTEX's mandate, as well as previous scholarship in the area – and applying a top down approach to explain the evolution of FRONTEX's development. The study goes beyond focusing on FRONTEX's role as an intelligence
We become more and more connected to the Internet and companies need to use new channels to reach customers. Online shopping has become an important activity in customers’ shopping behaviour and there is a need for fashion retailers to examine their logistics process. Depending on which return policies a company have returns can generate a significant cost. It is therfore interesting for companies
Syfte: Uppsatsens syfte är att kvalitativt tydliggöra och förstå skillnader i konsumenters lojalitetsgrad och köpbeteende, kopplat till service, mellan Generation Y och Baby Boomers och på så sätt bidra till service- och generationsforskningen. Metod: En kvalitativ studie med ett hermeneutiskt fenomenologisk förhållningssätt har genomförts. Forskningsansatsen är deduktiv med induktiva inslag. PrPurpose: The aim is to qualitatively distinguish and understand differences in purchase behavior and loyalty, related to service, between Generation Y and Baby Boomers and thus contribute to the service and generational research. Methodology: A qualitative study has been executed with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach. The research approach is deductive while also containing inductive eleme
The objective for this master thesis has been to develop a mathematical model of the actuator parts of the fifth generation Haldex AWD system. The parts to be modeled are the DC-Machine and the pump. Also a model of the elasticity of the clutch has to be derived as well as a model for the hydraulic fluid. These models were then to be implemented in Matlab Simulink. The model was derived by means o
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing factors on underpricing in the UK and Germany. The focus hereby lies on the different institutional framework (common and civil law) and implied ownership structure of both countries. A quantitative analysis is conducted using multiple linear regression model and descriptive statistics. The dependent variable underpricing is regressed on
For Chinese economy, the relationship between ownership and company performance is an important theoretical and practical topic. My research question is how ownership affect company performance and what is the basis determinant. In the view of macro, it relates to whether the economy system need further reform or not and if the economy could remain a sustainable growth. In the view of micro, it re
The aim of this thesis is to analyze what effect different aspects of globalization have had on gender equality in welfare and work life during the period 1970-2012 using data for up to 171 countries. The KOF index of globalization is used as a proxy to include social, political and economic globalization. Furthermore, gender equality is measured by relative changes in health, education and workfo
Avhandlingen ser till hur medvetna exklusiva temahotell är om den fysiska miljön, vi tittar på hotellens grundtanke samt vad de teoretiskt kommunicerar ut till gästen. Vi har valt att avgränsa oss till receptionsområdet och lobbyn där vi diskuterar materiella och immateriella delar av miljön som kan påverka gästens intryck av hotellet. Vi har valt att undersöka hotell i en kategori som vi kallar f
This study investigates the impacts of FDI on productivity and economic growth in comparative perspective by using two samples, namely “developing” and “developed” countries. The study employs panel cointegration and panel estimation methods. The panel cointegration test results indicate that there are long-run relations between “FDI and productivity”, and “FDI and economic growth” variables. The
An interacting particle system is a stochastic process describing the evolution of finitely or infinitely many particles, each of which, in the absence of any interaction, would evolve like a Markov process. The particle system can be examined in different scales by grouping particles together and considering their average. Their behaviour is described by a Markov process on a microscopic scale, w
Despite a persistent reliance on conventional grey infrastructure solutions, there is increasing recognition of the vital role of nature-inclusive urban planning in managing climate risks such as floods and heatwaves while simultaneously promoting biodiversity, human health, and well-being. This multifunctionality underscores nature's intrinsic importance, reframing it as a fundamental necessi
This paper quantitatively studies how firm inequality (society-wide firm concentration) in Northern Sweden was impacted by a 2002 deduction to the employment tax. The paper constructs Gini and Theil’s T indices as measurements of firm inequality for 29 Swedish municipalities for the years 1998-2007, where the net sales and number of employees are used as two measurements of firm size. This results
