From the 1920s to the 1970s, a great leveling in incomes occurred throughout the industrialized world. However, our knowledge on the trends and causes of the great leveling are inconclusive, especially as research primarily has focused on the trends of the top 10 percent of income earners. By compiling a new micro dataset on the individual level from tax records for specific top and low-income dis

projektado is a newly formed international and transdisciplinary design collective that addresses contemporary design from a critical perspective. The collective aims to create an open environment for designers from different disciplines, nationalities and levels of experience, to openly discuss our industry and its impact, as well as to propose new perspectives and directions for its future. pr

De årliga koldioxidutsläppen har under de senaste 50 åren ökat med nästan 200% som påföljd av människans användning av fossila bränslen och råvaror. De negativa konsekvenserna av denna ökning syns idag världen över i land- och havsbaserade ekosystem, samt inom den biologiska mångfalden. Forskningens rön visar lovande lösningar genom bioteknisk ingenjörskonst av fotosyntetiska organismer med förmågThe increased human dependence on fossil-based fuels, industrial chemicals, and structural materials has caused a drastic increase in atmospheric CO2 levels during the past 50 years. Consequences of this have been observed in the disruption of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Bioengineering of photosynthetic organisms capable of converting CO2 into biomass and value-added organic molecules prov

The report shall answer on what eventual costs and savings the solar system would result in. The report shall give the board of MHK an indication whether to invest or not. Several meth

The study done in this thesis was based on a planned eco village in Röstånga, Sweden. The aim of the study was to find a solution into which energy- and ventilation systems that were sustainable and had the least environmental impact in combinations with each other and the chosen building materials. This has been done through literature studies, simulations and life cycle analysis based on those t

The housing shortage in Sweden means that a lot of focus is placed on finding new efficient methods that allow for a faster and more cost-effective construction. The type of industrial construction that was used in the so called Million Program in Sweden in the 60s and 70s was substandard in many ways and has given many Swedes a negative image of what industrialized construction and prefabrication

Despite decades of intense research, the behavior of water molecule still warrants new research.Water flow through various pipe systems has become a pivotal corner stone of functioning human infrastructure. the energy consumed by the pumping system takes the proportion ofaround 22% of the supplied energy for electromotors around the world (Shankar et al. 2016). A large amount of annual budget in e

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore and understand how online music consumers develop loyalty towards musicians as brands, along with potential reasons behind that process. Methodology: The study explores the phenomenon of loyalty development of online music consumers towards musicians as brands. The exploratory, relativist and abductive perspectives have been adopted through a series of

In urban areas, the battle of space is more important than ever. The spaces and environments we grow up in are shown to be crucial for the identity we develop throughout our childhood. Therefore, the way our cities are designed and developed can largely impact who we become. The whole perception of society starts with children’s play, yet we tend to deprioritize their playing environments. For dec

I vår tids globaliserade värld med tilltagande turism, utlandsarbete och studier på utländska lärosäten ökar även förekomsten av transnationella kärleksrelationer. Människor träffas, blir förälskade och vill leva tillsammans. Denna kvalitativa studie handlar om kvinnor och män som har migrerat till Sverige på grund av nyetablerad kärleksrelation med en person från Sverige eller annat nordiskt land

Bakgrund: Att bedöma patienter med panikattack kan upplevas som svårt för sjuksköterskor. En panikattack är ett ofarligt men obehagligt tillstånd med symtom som liknar ett livshotande tillstånd. Upplevelsen av att bedöma patienter med panikattack kan ge uttryck för flera olika tankar och känslor hos sjuksköterskor. Syfte: Syftet var att genom en litteraturstudie sammanställa befintlig forskning kr

Klimatkompensation förutspås fortsätta öka som hållbarhetsstrategi - till följd av myndigheters kontraproduktivitet! Vi människor har nått en punkt i vår miljöpåverkan som får forskare att tro att vi måste förklara en ny geologisk epok - den antropocentriska epoken. Vårt levnadssätt orsakar stora förändringar i klimatet, vilket har lett till att vi har överskridit en eller flera planetära gränser.Climate change is a long-term challenge that requires urgent actions. An increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, causing changes in the climate system such as melting glaciers and extreme weather conditions, are correlated to economic growth. To mitigate climate change, there is a need to evolve efficient strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from companies within all branc

The purpose of the study is to study the self-image of OST (opioid substitution therapy) -counselor’s and perception of their work in relation to how the healthcare professionals perceives the counselor’s role, in order to contribute to increased understanding of possible knowledge gaps and difficulties which may limit the counselors ability to perform her job or hence the use of her competence to

True Crime tycks med tiden bara växa mer och mer som populärkulturellt fenomen. Att konsumera underhållningsmedia vars huvudsakliga innehåll innefattar redogörelser, förklaringar och diskussioner kring ofta våldsamma brott är något som uppenbarligen lockar. Vi får genom dokumentärer, podcasts och filmer se, läsa och höra om inblandade gärningspersoner och offer och de morbida situationerna som kan

This thesis aims to describe the little group scaling and how it simplifies the calculation of scattering amplitudes. The little group has the defining property that it leaves a particular four-momentum invariant, which is used to describe how the internal structure of a particle is transformed under the little group. An important part in the study of little group scaling is the spinor-helicity fo

Hotet mot staden: Vattnet och klimatförändringarna Klimatförändringarna kommer att göra staden mer utsatt för översvämningar från hav, regn och naturliga vattendrag, vilket riskerar att skada närliggande byggnader och infrastruktur. Västra Trelleborg är redan idag drabbat av översvämningar till följd av regn, flödet i Ståstorpsån och höga havsnivåer, och påverkan kommer att öka under det kommandeOne of the greatest challenges for today’s society is the effect of climate change and especially its impact on urban coastal cities. In southern Sweden, a future climate is forecast to result in higher peak rainfall intensities, higher sea levels and higher yearly river flows. Compound events and seasonal variability are novel areas of expertise, but earlier studies and reports have concluded tha

En av polismyndighetens viktigaste arbetsuppgifter är att arbeta brottspreventivt. Detta görs både genom social och situationell brottsprevention, ofta inom ramen för en modell eller ett projekt. En aktuell modell är BID (Business Improvement District), vilken utgår från ett samarbete mellan olika aktörer med utgångspunkt att göra ett område “clean and safe”. Detta görs i syfte att stärka näringsl

In the field of patent law, the doctrine of equivalence extends the scope of a patent beyond its literal language to cover inconsequential variations of a patentable invention. This doctrine is arguably one of the most important aspects of patent law. The protection a patent confers is meaningless if its scope is determined to be so narrow that trivial changes to a device bring it out of the bound
