Fjärrvärme är en teknologi som har stor potential att bidra till att möjliggöra ett fossilfritt samhälle. För att uppnå denna potential, finns det dock en del förbättringar som måste göras för att förbättra fjärrvärmeverksamheten i stort, minska förlusterna från systemen och därmed öka konkurrenskraften hos fjärrvärme som teknologi. Ett flertal studier har visat att ett sätt att göra detta, och däDistrict Heating is a technology with the potential to enable a fossil-free society. However, to realize this potential, some improvements need to be made in order to improve District Heating operation at large, decrease losses in the systems, and thus increase the competitiveness of District Heating as a technology. Several have shown that a possible solution, to increase the efficiency of Distri

Financial Repression is increasingly recognized as a viable approach to address high and unsustainable debt levels. Despite its history dating back to the early-mid 1900s, the economic implications of Financial Repression have yet to be fully explored. This paper investigates the effects of Financial Repression, specifically the relationship between two key economic indicators: the exchange rate a

The process is performed for both a developed economy, the US, and an emerging economy, Mexico. The study examines how forecast performance compares between benchmark time series models and machine learning models, as well as how forecast perfor

Sammanfattning Under slutet av 1960-talet genomgick bostadsmarknaden och lagstiftningarna som hör till en stor förändring. Däribland skärptes hyreslagen med fler krav på underhåll och fastighetsskötsel, och en utredning föreslog att grov vanvård ska vara en grund för expropriation. Under 1969 kom även en utredning angående att införa en lagstiftning som möjliggjorde tvångsförvaltning av fastighetAbstract The Housing Management Act (1977:792) enables compulsory management of properties that are neglected. However, the law can only be applied to tenements. In the year of 2021, the law underwent an amendment, which came into force on January 1, 2022. In all forms of housing that are in an apartment building, have common areas and constructions that require joint management. The purpose of t

Luftförorening är ett globalt hälsoproblem och i Moçambique orsakas inomhusluftförorening främst av matlagning över öppen eld. Denna studie undersöker potentialen hos kokosnötskol som en renare bränslekälla för matlagning och som en möjlig inkomstkälla för kvinnor i byn Linga Linga, Moçambique. En tidigare studie i byn identifierade ett behov av att undersöka hushållens vilja att anta en annan matAir pollution is a global health problem and in Mozambique, indoor air pollution is primarily caused by cooking over an open fire. This study examines the potential of coconut charcoal as a cleaner cooking fuel and as a possible source of income for women in the village of Linga Linga, Mozambique. Previous research conducted in the village identified a need to investigate the willingness of the co

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between institutional ownership and firm innovation in a Swedish and contemporary context. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework underlying this study is primarily based on the myopic institutions theory, which suggests that institutional investors have an inherent short-term focus that influences their attitude to

For the past centuries, human-nature relationships have deteriorated into a drastic disconnection, characterized by a lack of compassion for nature and insufficient action for mitigating environmental degradation. This study investigates connectedness with nature (CWN) among regular meditation practitioners. Nine in-depth interviews were conducted with meditation practitioners active in Sweden. Th

I denna masteruppsats undersöks hur internetmemes om andra världskriget används på det Reddit-baserade forumet r/ww2memes för att bilda gemenskap. Eftersom internetmemes ofta saknar upphovsperson och tydligt ursprung studeras de här som allmänna kulturella fenomen, tillkomna genom deltagande på forumet, vilka genom humor ger uttryck för historiesyn och gemenskap. I syfte att genomföra studien har World War II as an in(ternet)-joke : A study on cultural community on the forum r/ww2memes. This master’s thesis examines the construction of community on the Reddit-forum r/ww2memes, dedicated to publishing and sharing internet memes concerning World War 2. By constructing a theoretical framework consisting of a certain use of history applied in presentist temporalities, herein referred to as ap

Strangeness production in small systems such as proton-proton collisions is here investigated through the use of three-particle correlations in the momentum-space coordinates η and ϕ. This method is used in order to investigate possible correlation between conservation of both strangeness and baryon number, such that the particles chosen are Λ¯pK+ and the respective charge conjugates, where Λ is a
