År 2017 anger 255 av 290 kommuner i Sverige att de har bostadsbrist. Detta innebär att utbudet av bostäder inte möter det behov och den efterfrågan som finns i kommunen. Den nationella prognosen för antalet bostäder som ska byggas fram till år 2025 är 710 000 och grundas på den förväntade befolkningsutvecklingen. Något som inte förklaras av siffran är vilken typ av bostäder som ska byggas. De finnThe lack of housing in Sweden is a problematic question of big importance. Based on the clarification of the Swedish law related to municipal housing responsibility, this study has been conducted with the purpose of investigating whether a statutory housing supply liability is of importance to municipal housing planning. To clarify its importance, interviews have been held with 21 representatives

I uppsatsen analyseras förståelseproblematiken i tre dansk-svenska samtal. En tydlig dansk-svensk problematik har konstaterats tidigare forskning, men hur den tar sig uttryck och hanteras i samtal är inte lika väl beskrivet. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka förståelsen i samtal, vilket innebär analys av problem, strategier och bakomliggande faktorer. Materialet har samlats in med e

Today there are more than 45 million hectares (ha) of concluded large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in the low- and middle- income countries around the globe. Whether LSLA is referred to as land grabbing or land investment, LSLA means that the right to utilise land is moved from the local people to investors. Few studies investigate agro-ecological consequences and water use of LSLAs. Hence, t

Background Tracing physical objects from producers to end consumers is a challenging task. In the wake of Bitcoin’s success, the retail industry sees potential in using blockchain technology to tackle some of these challenges. While blockchain technology itself has been subject to extensive research lately, the intersection between blockchain technology and supply chain traceability is still rathe

Den här studien handlar om körsång och dess potentiella påverkan på människor. Syftet är att ta reda på om – och hur körsångarna i Sinnesrokören upplever att körsången påverkar dem och vilka faktorer det är som gör att de i sådana fall påverkas. Körledarens drivkrafter och mål och hur dessa visar sig i praktiken undersöks också. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och metoderna som använts är intervjThis study is about choir singing and its potential influence on people. The purpose is to find out if - and how the singers in the Serenitychoir experience that the choir singing affects them, and what factors matter when it comes to forming the experience. The choir conductor’s intentions and goals and how are transformed into practice are also investigated. The study has a qualitative approach

Water chemistry alterations such as acidification and eutrophication represent major threats to the running waters of the world, and Swedish waters are among the most vulnerable. In this study the small forested catchment Storskogen, part of the SWETHRO monitoring network, was analysed to examine the links between deposition, catchment hydrological properties and surface water chemistry. Storskoge

The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. One of the factors determining the water flow to a depression is

Does the formation of planets give imprints on the chemical composition of the host star? In order to test this theory a differential abundance analysis (i.e. comparing two stars' abundances to each other) was carried out on a few stars with and without known planets, to see if any differences were found. The analysis was based on high resolution, high signal to noise ratio (SNR) spectra of fo

This thesis aims to illustrate the male interest for fashion consumption. The subject is motivated by the lack of research concerning this in the academic sphere. The focus for this thesis is therefore to analyse how this comes to light in the male fashion magazine King of Sweden. Through a qualitative text analysis the questions submitted by readers in King of Sweden are analysed in relation to t

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how employees understand and support their employer’s internal CSR agenda and communication. In order to do this, we answer three research questions: How can employees be segmented into different groups regarding CSR support? How do employees who are supportive of a company’s CSR agenda differ from less supportive employees? How can an understan

Horseback riding is a sport enjoyed by people around the world. Many riders are interested in knowing exactly how much they have exercised their horse and how much time that have been spent in different gaits. The goal of this master's thesis was to develop an equine gait recognition algorithm. Triaxial accelerometer and gyroscope signals were collected during different riding sessions by usin

Studying the formation and evolution of galaxies is a fundamental problem in astronomy that warrants repeated investigation by astronomers. How do spiral galaxies like our own come to have its distinct spiral arms? How do stars and their properties change over time and will they continue to evolve in the same manner? To try and attempt to answer such questions we need to look to our own Galaxy the

En ökad efterfrågan på miljövänliga energialternativ har resulterat i att allt fler länder börjat utvärdera sina geotermala tillgångar. En bidragande orsak till det ökade geotermala intresset är förändrade krav som ställs på geologin och hydrologin med dagens moderna EGS-anläggningar. Med EGS-tekniken (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) skapar man idag konstgjorda reservoarer, för fjärrvärme- och elprodThe increasing demand for eco-friendly energy alternatives and the changing requirements of state of the art EGS-plants (Enhanced Geothermal Systems) have set the mark for many countries to start evaluating their geothermal assets. By using the EGS-technique, artificial reservoir providing district heating and electricity are created around the world by stimulating the bedrock hydrostatically with

Glaciers are of extreme importance since they hold climatic data going back 2,000 years. Glaciers can provide important services such as ecosystem services, habitats, water runoff, and hydro-energy. They also affect the Earth’s processes and many feedback mechanisms. Glaciers all over the world are under the threat of climate change which may eventually lead to the disappearance of many of these i

Problem: Tetra Pak’s strategy is to expand World Class Manufacturing (WCM) from manufacturing to installation projects in order to reduce the installation lead time. There is a challenge in the WCM implementation since it requires a cross-functional approach and uncertainties with the installation projects being at customer’s site. The question at hand is; how can Tetra Pak use the Early Managemen

The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc

Under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen omkristalliserade stora delar av sydvästra Sverige och bildade metamorfa migmatitiska gnejser. I Idefjordenterrängen, väster om Mylonitzonen, har migmatiterna inte daterats och då kunskapen om de metamorfa processerna i området brister kan migmatiterna ge en bättre bild av när metamorfosen skedde. En migmatitisk gnejs från Delsjöområdet i östra Göteborg har datDuring the Sveconorwegian orogenesis, parts of southwestern Sweden was recrystallized and formed metamorphic migmatites. In the Idefjorden terrane, west of the Mylonite zone, the migmatites have not been dated and since knowledge of the metamorphic processes in the area is lacking, the migmatites can provide better constraints of when metamorphosis occurred. A migmatitic gneiss from the Delsjö are

Purpose – With an increasing attention given to emotions in decision making processes, this paper investigates how and to what extent they can influence managerial strategic decisions under uncertainty. Therefore, this study explores the existing knowledge and reveals underlying mechanisms. The final aim is to provide valuable insights for the top managerial level (i.e. strategy makers) while at t
