Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka vilken betydelse individer tillskriver olika orter, samt vilken inverkan deras sociala kontaktnät har för känslan av tillhörighet till både den ursprungliga och nuvarande orten. I studien inkluderas åtta informanter vilka flyttat från sin hemort till en ny bostadsort. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer tolkar dessa individer i retroperspektiv de olika orterna, der

Reformationen var en period av förändring, av vilka några hade stora konsekvenser. De förändringar som reformationen bidrog till var av många slag: politiska, teologiska, liturgiska och estetiska. Även kyrkorummet förändrades. Det finns några allmänna uppfattningar om vad detta innebar, men också en del förvirring. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att förklara och genom mina begrepp "destruThe Reformation was a time of change, some of which had great consequences. The changes that the Reformation cause are of many kinds: political, theological, liturgical and aesthetic. Even the church room changed. There are some general perceptions of what this meant but also a lot of confusion. The purpose of this essay is, therefore, to explain and, through my concepts of "destruction"

This paper follows changes in US banking practices since financial growth de-coupled from the real economy in 1970s, a phenomenon referred to as financialisation in post-Keynesian and Marxian literature. It is argued that financialisation is a consequence of decades of financial deregulation and neoliberal policies, that has given rise to shareholder value-oriented management structures and comple

The thesis sets out to investigate how collective mourning on social media is perceived by online audiences and what motivates their participation in it. It is centered around examining the aftermath of the Beirut and Paris attacks in 2015 and how mourning and solidarity was constructed online in their aftermath. The closeness in time of the two attacks illustrates the differences between how the

The rise of private firms was vital for China’s coastal economic development, and this institutional change should play an essential role if the country wants to replicate its successes elsewhere. The first testing ground for such replication is the Go West Program. Aimed at the catching up of China’s interior, the program uses the city of Chongqing as a growth pole. Based on the coastal experienc

Hur ska en framgångsrik mobil applikation egentligen se ut? Ska de ha många funktioner eller bara har det mest essentiella? Ett exklusivt utseende eller ett enkelt? Detta projekts mål är att ta reda på svaren till dessa frågor och många fler. Målet är att utifrån detta designa en mobil applikation till ett e-handel system, som effektivt får användare att förstå och kunna köpa produkter i en e-hanHow should a successful mobile application look? Should it have many features or only the most essential. An exclusive look, or simple and clean? In this project these questions will be answered. The goal is to design a mobile application to an e-commerce system, which efficiently makes the user understand and be able to buy in the e-commerce shop. Also understand how the users think the first tim

Sophisticated ecosystem models make it possible to evaluate the potential future changes of the carbon sequestration capacity of the terrestrial biosphere, as a response to the rapid environmental and climatic changes. Accuracy of model estimates is however strongly dependent on the parametrisation of driving parameters. A previous study of Wang et al. (2012) suggests, that the knowledge of the re

The focus of this thesis is the treatment and application of the continuous time Lyapunov matrix equation. We discuss and compare the Naive, Bartels Stewart and Galerkin methods with each other and also with the function lyap in Matlab. We also explore the relationship between the Lyapunov equation as well as the Lyapunov function with stability and linear control. Finally, we give an application

Matvaruhandeln på nätet växer och en stor del av matvaruinköpen online levereras med hemleverans. Den hemleveransmodell som idag används i störst utsträckning låter kunderna välja ett tidsfönster för när de vill ha sin leverans. Det innebär att rutterna måste anpassas efter olika tidsfönster, vilket resulterar i ineffektivitet och låg fyllnadsgrad i lastbilarna. Detta, i sin tur, gör att leveranseThe online market for groceries is continuously growing. Many of the online grocery purchases are home delivered, and the model that is currently the most commonly used allows the customer to pick a delivery time slot. This means that the delivery routes must be adapted according to time windows, which results in inefficient routes, a lot of half-empty vehicles, and hence in costly deliveries for

Organizational culture has been studied throughout the centuries as it has been assumed to enhance the organizations’ abilities to reach objectives. The Corporate-Culture School has argued in favor of this assumption, but have been subjected to criticism as it tends to rule out critical thinking and disregards the complexity of culture. In contrary, scholars of Critical Management Studies argue in

This thesis aims to analyze how authors who write books for young adults are presented on their publishers’ website. By analyzing the textual presentation of the authors the main objective is to answer these questions: are there any reoccurring aspects in the presentations? Can you tell that the authors write for young adults? Are there any differences or similarities in how the male and female au

GALDIT is a Vulnerability Indexing (VI) methodology that uses ranges, ratings and weights developed as a preliminary decision support tool to predict groundwater areas prone to Sea Water Intrusion (SWI). It has been only applied on porous coastal aquifers to date, in Mediterranean coastal regions, where SWI has become a growing problem. The present study tests the applicability of GALDIT VI in the

5-second online video advertisements have emerged in the advertising scene as an ultra-short, theory defying phenomenon and scholars have yet to fully study its effectiveness. Up until recently, marketers have understood that advertisement effectiveness depends upon advertisement length, justifying the use of longer advertisement forms of 15-seconds or more. With the introduction of 5-second onlin

The United Kingdom is one of the biggest milk producers in the world. The dairy market is a competitive industry where cost is a driving force. Milk is considered a day-to-day product in this country, packaged primarily in HPDE bottles. The need for a cost effective product is driving companies to seek for alternative packaging solutions. The thesis is focused on the weight reduction of a HDPE bot

Despite increased globalization since the 1980s in many sectors remained the textile and clothing trade regulated through country-specific import quotas. In 2005, they were terminated by the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). Subsequently it was expected that mostly China would gain in worldwide exports while preferentially treated countries and countries facing fewer restrictions would not

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka hur patienter med traumarelaterad diagnos eller depression beskriver upplevelser och erfarenheter av självupplevda trauman för att få en bättre uppfattning om trauma som fenomen. Generellt beskrivs trauma som ett tydligt fenomen, som avskiljs från naturliga händelser i livet och som innefattar både subjektiva reaktioner och långvariga konsekvensThe aim of this qualitative study is to investigate aspects of trauma from a patients point of view, who have post traumatic stress disorder or depression, in order to get a better understanding about trauma as a phenomena. The overall conclusion is that trauma is described as a specific phenomena, that is an event that is not part of normal life and which includes aspects of the persons reaction

Passive inter-modulation (PIM) shows up when two or more RF signals are mixed together via the nonlinear passive devices. With the rapid development and expansion of the wireless com-munication networks, PIM is recognized as one of the most critical issues. Especially in the base station, where several networks systems have to share the same infrastruc-ture, a few transmitted signals are physicall

The purpose of this study was to embark on a theory in examining the unintentional effects affiliated with the law, when legislation took place in establishing border controls within the internal boarder. The study is aiming to focus on the affects travelers along with transportation companies experience on a day to day basis. Following the analysis method which is based on a theory by Robert K. M
