The VAT system has been operating since 1967 across the European Union and is currently still in need to be adopted as definitive. Some issues should be confronted in 2018 before the implementation towards a fairer and simpler system. The proposal from the Commission set up in 2016 details the changes taken into account. As a cornerstone of the mentioned VAT system, this thesis will analyse the
This study explores re-creation processes, through transmedia storytelling, that are made visible in the Swedish TV-programme Helt lyriskt (2018), where music artists transmediate Swedish poems into songs. The aim is to analyse, through a close-reading method, two episodes of Helt lyriskt in order to discuss how processes of transmedia storytelling make literary analyses visible and accessible to
The implementation of low-carbon futures requires both the assembling of new technologies, and practices, as well as the ‘unmaking’ of extant high-carbon infrastructures. Here, we bring together geographical, STS, anthropological, and sociological thinking on time to re-conceptualise such processes of unmaking. We argue that a focus on temporalities is especially pertinent to the unmaking of mater
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
This paper is about creating identity based on music making as a leisure activity. The questions asked are about how cultural practicing at leisure contributes to the creation of identity, how the roles and self-image is affected by the exercise, if everyone has the dream of making a living on their music still and if one can learn anything beyond the expected by his/hers leisure activity. The pap
Eutrophication is one of the biggest environmental problems in Scanian waters, where agriculture has the largest input. Through soil cultivation and usage of fertilizers, nutrients are added and released. If no uptake occurs nutrients can be further transported to watercourses through surface runoff or the drainage system. This study investigates three measures to reduce and reuse nutrients from d
With an increasing number of Swedish citizens joining military extremist organizations in the Middle East, this study aims to identify and discuss the current discourses on how to handle foreign terrorist fighters through an analysis of the Swedish debate during 2014-2015. While one faction presents strategies and policy suggestions aiming to restitute what are described as mentally ill and socioe
The purpose of this study was to investigate how women reflect on their own body after pregnancy and birth and how they experience the aesthetic and function of the body post-pregnancy. Considering earlier studies made within the field there seemed to be a knowledge gap in a swedish context of the subject. Given that Sweden is a secularized country embossed with high individualization it was inter
A barrier option is a financial derivative whose payoff depends on the underlying asset breaching a predefined barrier level. Compared to vanilla options, barrier options are less expensive and may be customized for specific risk management strategies or strategic financial applications. In practice, the underlying asset is monitored only at discrete times, yet accurate and efficient pricing of di
När två eller flera faktorer samverkar till en skada uppstår i försäkringsrätten en fråga om vem som ska bära det ekonomiska ansvaret för skadan. Detta gäller särskilt när en orsak omfattas av försäkringen medan den andra orsaken är undantagen försäkringsskydd, annars faller utanför försäkringen eller om- fattas av en annan försäkring. Uppsatsen har utifrån praxis och litteratur kun- nat identifieWhen two or more risks cause an injury, question arises in insurance law who should bear the responsibility for the injury. This is particularly the case when one risk is covered by the insurance whereas the other risk is excluded, oth- erwise not covered or covered by another insurance. Through studies of case law and literature, this essay has found that there are three viable solutions. The dom
The values we see in society are reflected in the built environment we produce. Although an open and democratic society is something that we want, it is not obvious that this openness should be transferred directly to our built environments. What social life takes place when courtyards become part of the public sphere instead of the private one? Well-designed courtyards functions as a complement
This project investigates non-planar 3D printing techniques using a robotic system and Polylactic Acid (PLA) filament, drawing inspiration from the spider web’s structure. The primary aim is to develop methods that optimise material usage while maximising print coverage over large areas. Ultimately, the research seeks to expand the capabilities of robotic manufacturing and uncover new architectura
This master thesis has been conducted at the Division of Combustion Engines under the Department of Energy Sciences, Faculty of Engineering at the Lund University. The purpose of this master thesis project is to create a computer based model of a Natural Gas Engine in order to raise its potential for updating a Volvo bus as well as creating a study of the improvement efficiency of the Miller Cycle
Environmental discourses generally advocate norms to address the negative environmental consequences that industrialism has entailed. Whether reformist or radical, these discourses present visions of how problems can be solved or at least managed, even for global and complex issues like climate change. In this thesis I analyse the basis of one particular discourse that does not: the Dark Mountain
This paper studies three different strategies of sourcing. The whole process of this research including the problem definition is exactly based on a real case condition. This paper model sourcing process of required parts and material for a product which is manufactured under the license of Peugeot Company, the mother manufacturer in France. Based on the agreement between Peugeot and the manufactu
The active metabolite of vitamin D, 1,25-(OH)2D3, has immunomodulatory properties in addition to its more established action on bone and calcium metabolism. Recently vitamin D has been proposed as one of several environmental factors responsible for the increase in atopic diseases during the last decades. The objective of this study was to determine whether the estimated dose of dietary vitamin D3
