Kenya’s rapid, unplanned urban development and rising pressure for cities to adapt to climate change and become more climate change resilient has led to the realisation that more needs to be done. In Nairobi, increasing access to mobile technology and internet access, faster internet speeds, and the growing technology sector could be possible means to facilitate urban climate change resilience (UC
Bumblebees (B. terrestris) were trained to fly through an experimental setup containing two tunnels which led to a single feeder. A variety of patterns were fitted onto the tunnel walls, each producing a different pattern of optic flow onto the retinae, in order to test for differences in flight behaviour and decision making as a response to the visual cues presented in the tunnels. The results sh
Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av begreppet sublimitet utveckla förståelsen för hur Sojourner Truths tal vid ett kvinnorättskonvent i Ohio 1851 fungerade argumentativt i sin kontext. För att nå en sådan förståelse gör vi en neo-aristotelisk analys och kompletterar den med en syn på talet utifrån begreppet "det sublima". Vi ser på sublimitet som ett sätt att förstå talets effekt på
Hegemonic feminism have often been criticised for organising from a white, heterosexual, able-bodied, middle-class perspective. As a counteracting of this many minority groups have chosen to organise separately, based on common interests or experiences. This thesis explores the politics of minority women and groups’ organising practices. It also discusses the compatibility of civil society and fem
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka lagändringen den 13 juni 2014 i lag (2005:59) om distansavtal och avtal utanför affärslokaler. Undersökningen utreder avtal på distans och avtal utanför affärslokaler mellan en konsument och en näringsidkare för varor och tjänster. Uppsatsen granskar ändringar där den svenska lagstiftningen är tillämplig men kommer även bestå av EU-rättsligt material. Anledningen
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been investigated recently in false memories and specifically in the DRM paradigm. EMDR has been shown to decrease emotionality of the problematic memories in PTSD, but also to decrease false memories. No studies have to date shown how emotion and memory is effected by EMDR in the DRM paradigm when non-emotional wordlists are coupled with a nega

The Technical Background was built upon literature reviews and practical skills acquired through Machine learning courses such as Google’s “M
As global energy demands rise and the need for sustainable solutions becomes more urgent, so efficient ammonia production is fundamental. Traditional methods, such as the Haber-Bosch process, are both energy-intensive and environmentally harmful. This research investigates an alternative by developing a catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of nitrate to ammonia, using Iron Nitrate Hexahydrat
Ever growing environmental impact due to human activities has increased efforts globally to tackle the issues by promoting sustainable behavior. Similar efforts are also being made to handle the waste and litter problem of single-use takeaway food packaging. Sweden aims to reduce the impact of takeaway food packaging by introducing a directive to reduce consumption of single-use packaging and repl
This thesis examines the integration of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from Sentinel-1 with hydraulic modelling and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance flood risk management in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden. The study focuses on the February 2020 flood event, utilizing advanced remote sensing technologies to improve flood extent mapping and disaster response. Quantitative data for
Syftet med fallstudien är att skapa en djupare förståelse av hur partnering tillämpas i byggbranschen. Aktörernas synpunkter ska presenteras för att skapa ett flersidigt perspektiv på hur man arbeta med projektpartnering.

This study explores different modalities of agency that birthing women in Kosovo express when met with a high threat of obstetric violence and structural constraints. Specifically, this study identifies the strategies and tactics women employ during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum to avoid and minimise the risk of obstetric violence in public and private health settings. Moreover, this s
This thesis thesis explores what desires and motivations lay behind employees’ succession to managerial positions in a store environment. Previous research focuses on how to develop good leaders, rather than how to make people want to become leaders, which is why this is an important topic. The method used is a qualitative case study at IKEA in Sweden, where a combination of qualitative questionna
The building industry, like many others, are currently experiencing the effects of the digitalization, and the increased spread of smart buildings is a result of this. Much research has been done on smart buildings and their predecessors intelligent buildings, but there is limited research available on how entrance systems should be designed for smart buildings, especially regarding their connecte
A next-generation drinking water purification device has been developed which uses UV-LEDs to create high intensity UV light to inactive the bacteria present in the water that flows through the device tube chamber. The capacity of the different setups of the devices to perform water purification was examined by experimental testing. This report investigates using a new flow cytometry approach comp
The purpose of this study was to examine how INGOs in Sri Lanka work to increase social capital and trust between two specific ethnic groups- the Tamils and Sinhala. The study uses a qualitative approach, where this dissertation draws on Michel Foucault’s Discourse Analysis with the concepts of power/knowledge and governmentality as central themes in the empirical data. The empirical data is provi
