The prevailing view on work excludes unpaid activities like care, individual or community work although they are crucial for economy and everyday life. Because the focus on paid work also leads to both social and environmental unsustainability, work has to be redefined. Cohousing evolved from the belief that through a collective organisation with a specific built and social environment, care work

Business models (BMs) aim to create value for both customer and organizations (Johnson, et al., 2008). However, many organizations over focus on their existing business model(s) and they fail to transform their BM’s to exploit further opportunities and to adapt them to the changing dynamics of the market (Govindarajan & Trimble, 2011). Small medium enterprises (SMEs) seem to be neglected in th

This study examines the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, specifically the monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method, in a biomass power plant. The aim is to assess the energy requirements and optimize the solvent processes to improve the overall efficiency of the carbon capture process. The use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) is pro

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

Effectively utilizing Big Data can be a challenge for many companies. Due to its volume, many aspects of the data processing pipeline such as storage, retrieval and usage may quickly become problematic. For example, it could be difficult identifying the relevant metrics when analyzing a service failure. Visualizing and deriving insights from the data could also prove to be quite onerous. Immersive

Syftet med studien är att ta reda på hur en pianopedagog kan berika eller använda sig av digitala verktyg inom ramen för att främja sin pedagogiska vision i pianoundervisning.

This MA thesis aim has been to examine what it means to be a church in a multi-cultural and multi-religious environment. The research question posed is: how is a churchly identity being described in contexts characterized by multiculturalism and multi-religiosity? This has been examined by semi-structured interviews with seven ordained ministers and one ordained deacon in four different churches w

Changes in the agricultural landscape have caused declines in bumblebee species richness and abundance. Semi-natural grasslands are key habitats for bumblebees in agricultural landscapes, and therefore it is important to understand which habitat characteristics promote species-rich bumblebee assemblages in these habitats. In this study, I investigate the importance of trees within semi-natural gra

Pluviala översvämningar inträffar när intensiteten av ett regn överskrider markens förmåga att infiltrera, vilket resulterar i att vattnet istället ansamlas på ytan. Tillräckligt mycket vatten på samma yta leder som bekant till översvämning. Ett typexempel är när korta intensiva regn faller över urbana områden där ytor som asfalt förhindrar infiltrering. Mängden och intensiteten av denna typ av övThe number and impacts of pluvial floods are likely to increase with the growth of our cities and as extreme weather is anticipated to intensify with climate change. Im- proved preparedness is needed which may be attained owing to recent development of high-resolution hydro-meteorological observations and forecasts as well as geographical data. This paper investigates the capacity of the HYPE mode

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka relationen mellan positivt värderade egenskaper och psykologiska och sociala faktorer i det svenska arbetslivet, på ett urval av 43 unga vuxna i åldern 19-29, med tidsbegränsad anställning. Vidare undersöktes huruvida relationen mellan dessa variabler skiljde sig åt beroende på könstillhörighet. Med positiv psykologi som teoretisk utgångspunkt genomfördes e

Studien ämnar att undersöka hur tiggeri konstrueras som ett socialt problem och vilka problemkonstruktioner som är framträdande i debatten om tiggeriförbud i Vellinge kommun, samt vilka faktorer som får betydelse i aktörers argument för sina respektive positioner i debatten. Studien är en kvalitativ dokumentanalys av 34 dokument, där myndighetsbeslut, domar och tidningsartiklar som alla rör tigger
