More and more people around the world are feeling stressed, and the consequences have become a global burden. At the same time, cities are growing both spatially and from within, creating competition for land which sometimes comes at the cost to our access to nature. Natural settings provide people with stress relief, and some of the feelings we perceive in nature are more efficient at this than o
Syftet med denna masteruppsats är att undersöka hur fysisk aktivitet och social interaktion bidrar till bättre prestationsförmåga av den åldrande kroppen. Studien är baserad på etnografiskt material som samlades in från januari till februari 2018 på ett träningscenter som heter Gerdahallen, beläget i Lund, Sverige.

Background: Autonomous driving is expected to create a radical change from driving actively to being driven passively. Hence, because of an altered human-machine interface in the vehicle, this technology is considered to provide a huge change to the society and its driving behavior. At this early development stage of fully autonomous vehicles (FAVs), one field of interest is innovation resistance
Lag om anställningsskyddslag är den lag som skyddar arbetstagare vid uppsägningar och avskedanden. Denna svenska lagstiftning finner vi i LAS som är från år 1974 men kom sedan att ändras år 1982. I 7 § andra stycket LAS stadgas omplaceringsreglerna som reglerar arbetsgivarens skyldighet att försöka bereda annat arbete hos sig. Uppsägningen från arbetsgivaren ska vara sakligt grundad.

This thesis studies the phenomenon of non-actual motion (NAM) (Blomberg, 2014; Blomberg & Zlatev 2014), and its expression in language and gestures. It has been documented that many languages employ expressions of motion in descriptions of static scenarios (Amagawa, 1997; Blomberg, 2014; Matsumoto, 1996; Rojo & Valenzuela, 2003, 2009; Stosic & Sarda, 2009), here called NAM-expressions
The importance of the historical contacts between mainland Finland and the island of Gotland has long been overlooked. The purpose of this analysis is therefore to focus on the contacts between these two areas during a period when cultural and material exchange was of utmost importance, the Viking Age. A common jewellery type used by the Finnish women during the whole Viking Age period were the c
The use of statistical models in credit rating and application scorecard modelling is a thoroughly explored field within the financial sector and a central component in a credit institution’s underlying business model. The aim of this report was to apply and compare six different machine learning models in predicting credit defaults for high-risk consumer credits, using a data set provided by a Sw
In the collected efforts towards understanding earth’s climate system, and acting on climate change, the time dimension is of central importance. When humanity’s collected activity is carbon-neutral, and how the trajectory towards such a state might look, is a tough question to answer. One thing which does however stand out clearly is the fact that the common practice of having CO2-equivalents be
Delivery lead time (DLT) is seen as one of the most important service factors affecting the consumers willingness to fulfill a purchase within online retailing (Esperet al., 2003). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect variations in the offered DLT have on customer conversion rate within e-commerce. This is done by analyzing historical online customer demand data from a case comp

Background Digitalisation has a big impact on the financial services industry in terms of new business and cost cutting opportunities, but also as threats from disruptive competitors. The financial sector is also pressured by increasingly strict regulations. New and extended regulations drive costs associated with risk management and compliance which makes it more difficult to uphold historical pr
Increased digitalization and increased use of digital technologies in a multitude of applications affect companies and their environments. Adapting to the change is important to keep competitive advantage. Generally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the manufacturing industry are lagging behind in digitalization and digital maturity in comparison to larger companies and other i
Although digital inbound marketing has been widely researched within B2C industries, very little academic research has been done on the subject within B2B sectors. With today’s rapid flow of information and constant change in buying behavior when purchasing consumer goods, B2B buyers are also demanding a simpler, more digitized approach of gathering information. This master thesis focuses on ident
The biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes at Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) require easily degradable carbon, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs), to work efficiently. Because of economical, and environmental reasons it is desired to utilize the organic content in the incoming wastewater instead of using an external carbon source. This study investigated the potential of producing VFAs
The concept of a smart-sustainable city (SSC) has recently come to dominate urban sustainability political agendas and academic discourses in Europe. This thesis investigates (1) the origination of the SSC concept, (2) how it is being framed as an approach to sustainable urban development, and (3) how it can be contextualized in concrete projects and urban planning initiatives in the city of Malmö
Det rättsliga skyddet för undervattensrörledningar och kablar har aldrig varit mer aktuellt. Efter explosionerna i Nord Stream 1 och 2, vilka inträffade i Danmarks och Sveriges exklusiva ekonomiska zoner aktualiserades frågan om detta skydd. Inom folkrätten, och speciellt havsrätten, har det varit omtvis-tat huruvida militära aktiviteter överhuvudtaget är tillåtna inom en kuststats exklusiva ekono
I uppsatsen du har framför dig undersöker jag målsägandens ansvar i förhål-lande till en tilltalads uppsåt eller oaktsamhet avseende målsägandens ofrivil-liga deltagande i en sexuell handling. Vi befinner oss alltså i de två första pa-ragraferna av brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, 6:1 och 6:1 a BrB. Min undersök-ning kretsar dock inte framförallt kring gällande rätt utan kring hovrätternas tillämpnin
