The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how the removal of repetitive tasks would affect employees’ motivation. Theoretical framework: The theoretical framework of this thesis is built upon theory regarding motivation, feedback, boring tasks and commitment. Methodology: A qualitative empirical research approach consisting of a multi-case study. Empirical foundation: The empirical data
In this bachelor thesis I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism and the challenges that they are facing. I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism through the example of the Swedish magazine Veckorevyn. Veckorevyn decided to quit their print publication earlier this year (2019) with the intention to focus on their digital website veckorevyn.com. The aim with this thes
This study aims to investigate and model statistical properties of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. There were recent drastic changes in the level of Bitcoin prices as it moved from $740 in 2014 to $19,187 in 2017, and down to $3,830 in 2018. The current study aims to fill the gap in the analysis of cryptoccurencies, primarily Bitcoin returns statistical process. Specifically, the study s
Floor panels of vehicles are known to radiate structure-borne sound into the vehicle compartment. To reduce the structure-borne sound, numerical models are used in the development of vehicles to evaluate different design options of the vehicle body. The panels are covered with carpets composed of foam and heavy layer of rubber, which causes challenges and complications when predicting interior sou

Land cover conversion affects climate by imposing changes in the surface properties and carbon dioxide fluxes. Forest management programs often disregard that modification in surface albedo influences the exchange of energy and climate sensitivity. By taking into account the role of vegetation in shaping the atmospheric circulation, forest harvesting not always leads to the warming of the climate.
Measuring the radar response has proven to be a valid input for neural networks used for gesture and motion recognition. Previous work have been based on measuring the radar response of hand gestures, but it has been shown that models based on the analytic expressions for basic objects are useful when simulating larger motions, such as pedestrians. This work explores if a hand model made of basic
Uppsatsen har analyserat prestationen och volatiliteten av 9 nordiska sektorindex under börsnedgångar. Resultaten användes därefter för att bekräfta vare sig en sektor beter sig defensivt eller cykliskt i förhållande till ett lämpligt jämförelseindex. Defensiva/Cykliska sektorer är definierade som en sektor med ett beta under/över 1. Vidare undersöks ifall någon sektor uppvisade tecken på asymmetrThis essay has examined the performance and volatility of 9 Nordic sector indices during economic downturns. The results were then used to confirm whether a sector behaved defensively or cyclically in comparison to an appropriate benchmark index. Defensive/Cyclical sectors are defined as having a beta of lower/higher than 1. The essay further examined if any defensive sectors displayed signs of as
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis it to investigate if and how branding in public transportation can influence sustainable consumer behaviour. It is of interest to analyse the influence of different branding concepts (green, love and technology) on attitude towards public transportation, the intention to use and recommend it. Methodology: The study was of quantitative nature. Three brands for a
Formerly widely distributed throughout Europe, the great snipe (Gallinago media) – a medium-sized wader species – has experienced an important decline in the last century, mainly driven by habitat loss. Remaining population are now restricted to eastern Europe and Scandinavia and the species is considered endangered. The great snipe (Gallinago media) is a food specialist, feeding almost exclusivel
Climate change is progressively advancing, and is affecting the entire globe, with some areas more vulnerable than others. Among them, the sub-Saharan Africa, with a very low adaptive capacity, mainly relies on one economic sector: agriculture. Due to its high climate-dependency, agriculture is at elevated risk. Among the different staple crops produced in the sub-Saharan Africa, maize is the mo
Facing the increasing network illegal file sharing through BitTorrent and alike, the EU law has no unified copyright law to regulate this issue. This paper analyzes relevant case laws, relevant legal regulations and the current situation of BitTorrent. Within the stream of the BitTorrent downloading. Each participant (such as end-users, BitTorrent service provider and Internet service provider) ne
The purpose of our study is to investigate the effect of net flows to mutual funds by isolating the effects of active managed funds and index linked funds on benchmark portfolio returns. We consider factors that cause demand driven price impacts on stocks. We use data from the Stockholm stock exchange and focus on Swedish registered mutual funds, which invest primarily in Sweden. Mutual fund data
This thesis is a qualitative study which intends to research how the Swedish climate change sceptic Facebook page Klimatbalans uses its platform and vast follower base to influence the public opinion about climate change science and politics. The purpose of the thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of Klimatbalans’ reasoning behind their climate change sceptic agenda, and how the Facebook page
This paper examines the nation-state as a hegemonic discourse and the democratic confederalism in Rojava as an alternative discourse in relation to the nation-state discourse. The nation-state is a hegemonic discourse in the sense that we take it for granted as the natural base for political organization in a world order built on nation-states. In 2012, a peaceful revolution was carried out by th
Going through the structural transformation processes since the 1990s, Georgia has opened its economy for export. This has been achieved by free trade agreements and governments’ attempts at promoting and assisting stakeholders. Being a “cradle of wine”, wine represents one of the most exported commodities of the country. This has been a result of partially, governments’ policy implementations, an
The turnout for the European Parliament elections has steadily increased in Sweden. Most recently, it was 51 % of the entitled voters that voted, but it is still a low figure compared to how many people that vote in the parliament election. Some interesting questions are raised in relation to the turnout. Are there differences in access to information and knowledge depending on where you live in S
