The contrasting reality between the recognition of the effectiveness of capacity development as a path to achieving development and the apparent ineffectiveness of many capacity development interventions brings into question the ability of organisations to take on their envisaged role as external partners. Through interviews with informants from eleven different organisations, the study generates

This case-study intends to show how an update, or re-design, of an application can affect the relationship between the user and the brand behind the application. To examine this, the study uses Snapchat and its re-design from early 2018 as a case-study, an update which due to users’ opinions and reactions online had serious consequences for Snap Inc. The study uses a focus group as a qualitative m

C2C online platforms contribute to the redistribution of goods and services in the economy, attributing value to resources otherwise wasted and fostering cooperation behaviours among consumers. However, the sustainable development of C2C markets is related to the users’ motivations of participation. This study investigates what are the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of individuals

Based on the characteristics of economic growth in China's transition period, this paper builds a theoretical model based on Barro model, and analyzes the influence of local government expenditure and opening up to the consumption of residents. After that, this study will use China's interprovincial panel data from 2012 to 2016 to establish panel data model to test the impact of local gove

The use of InP nanowires solar cells as a platform for the third generation concept of spectral conversion has been explored by embedding the Coumarin 120 dye between the nanowires of the solar cells. The InP solar cells have been characterised by measuring the external quantum efficiency, EQE, and the current voltage, JV, curve. For the EQE measurement an imaging system was constructed to constra

The questions of how regions develop over time and new regional growth paths emerge have been widely investigated by economic geographers. This study, with a wide understanding regarding the role of history, enhances our perception on how evolution process acts and what type of dynamics are influential to create a new path development by unfolding the different characteristics of development phase

Return migration among the second generation has been a topic of interest for researchers in the last decade, but little quantitative research has been done. Identity, feelings of belonging and moving when entering a new life stage have been proposed as reasons for the second generations to move back to their ancestral home. Using a dataset on emigrants from Sweden, this research describes the mig

The area of Södra Trönninge is planned to be extended with approximately 900 housing. With all kinds of constructions a research about possible consequences has to be made. With a higher number of inhabitants in an area a higher amount of traffic is to be expected. Even with a higher amount of traffic, accessibility is important. Assessment about the consequences is not always easy when it comes t

This report covers a task created by the company Tetra Pak in Lund on temperature control in plastic extrusion. The task of the assignment was about plastic extruder used in the Tetra Pak lamination process. In order for the polymer to have the correct viscosity prior to lamination, it must hold a certain temperature. The temperature of the plastic is affected by the friction of the screw which de

With the growth of cities more issues relating to the environment, economy and health have emerged. The climate in the city affects how the city is structured and how the city space is used. In return the city also has an effect on the climate by modifying the regional climate conditions on a large scale. This has led to an increase in air temperature in the urban areas causing an urban heat islan

Brazil is a country founded on migration, and since the Second World War most of that migration has been internal. However, urban overcrowding has changed the nature of migration in this, one of the most urbanized developing countries. Does internal migration in such a context still bring sizeable income gains, and are Brazilian workers right to be moving away from megaolopolises like greater São

Contents involving hateful messages vary from “kill a Jew day” to “kick a ginger day” and could target anyone irrespective of their status, identity, location and so forth. Even when hate speech is not materialized into a hate-motivated crime, the damage is done – victims are being labeled, marginalised and exposed to negative stereotyping. The

There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak
