Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka huruvida användare på Flashback Forum kan förstås som en modern och digital version av vigilantes. Vigilantism innefattar att utan laglig befogenhet förebygga och utreda upplevda brott, samt straffa förövare. Trots att detta är ett vanligt förekommande finns det relativt lite forskning gjord på ämne i en svensk kontext. Flashback Forum är en svensk hemsida s

The goal of this thesis is to present a methodology for predicting time until recovery of failed wind turbines. The necessity is motivated by the potential for more accurate wind energy export forecasts. The current approach rests entirely on having an expert examine the turbine and produce a time estimate. Due to its nature, such a prediction cannot be made immediately upon failure. Five common s

2022 saw a significant increase in global inflation that eroded the purchasing power of many households. Contrastingly, many firms saw an increase in profitability against public dissatisfaction. Stemming from this conflicting development, more research has attempted to test a possible association between profits and inflation. However, much of this research has focused on the U.S. This thesis is

Across the world are small local agencies connected to the United Nations. Unlike the larger bureaucratic organs that make up the UN, these smaller specialized agencies do not work to frame the founding ideals of the UN which are decided on at the highest levels within the institution, but to interpret, carry out, and monitor different mandates or programs at the local level. These agencies transl

It is a well-recognized fact that a city will continue to grow whether or not it is desirable. Growth is not something that can be stopped, only contained and influenced. In that way, there is a need for new concepts and approaches to urban space planning and this could be in the form of vertical cities. The tall building is indeed a vertical progression of a horizontal city and should be consid

This master thesis invites the reader to acquire and examine new evidence about an emerging and growing sub-genre type of documentary film called Ayahuasca documentary. This study bases its definition of the Ayahuasca documentary sub-genre on a current work in the progress catalogue of over 50 documentary films, two of which were selected as case studies. These films suggest a growing cultural int

Through this research, I intend to investigate the fascinating domain of Ayahuasca documentary films. This emerging subgenre showcases explorers and scientists reconnecting with nature and spirituality, which I introduced to the reader through my explorative one-year master's thesis, A Study of Ayahuasca Documentary Film (2020). Furthermore, in the present study, I further my research by looki

Voluntary carbon markets (VCM) have grown significantly over the past years. However, the VCM is facing a ‘credibility crisis’ due to governance, technical, and market issues. Notably, despite the significant role of credibility in the VCM, a lack of systematic assessment frameworks in this area is discerned. To address this knowledge gap, this thesis set out to build, test, and evaluate a framewo

At the pace of globalization, the phenomenon of nation branding is increasingly important. In contemporary international relations, many states are vigorously using marketing concepts and techniques while promoting themselves to enhance a good image, which is seen as essential for attracting tourism, trade, investment, and generally increase their role in global affairs. Sweden is as well increasi

Hybrid solutions that combine multiple renewable energy sources, such as solar power and hydro power, are gaining popularity as a means of meeting the growing energy demands while minimising environmental impacts, but also as an opportunity of connecting solar power plants to the grid in areas where this might not be possible unless large investments are made. This master thesis aims to evaluate t

Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a given standard and considered as basic human rights in urban areas and industrialized countries. However, 40 % of the world's population living in rural areas in developing countries lack access to safe drinking water. Many ongoing projects are focused on providing safe drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, including Hamro Paani. Hamro

Denna kandidatuppsats redogör för hur internationella rekryteringsprocesser spelar roll för en ökad efterfrågan på specialiserad och högutbildad personal i en global marknad. Syftet är att titta på vilket behov den rörliga kompetensen täcker och studien fokuserar på varför företag ägnar sig åt internationell rekrytering. Undersökningen grundar sig på dels intervjuer med respondenter på en svensk s

In recent years, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have gained prominence as a key technology enabling much needed electricity grid flexibility while simultaneously providing distinct value to its end-users. With the anticipated increase of residual value holding used batteries from mobility applications entering the market, more and more companies are looking to construct BESS offers around t

With a deforestation rate of 599,232 ha/year, the Indonesian government is pressured to bootstrap its ecosystem restoration process. The pressure also receives by the private sector to accelerate the process of their decarbonization, with the 2050 net-zero target as the main goal. Consequently, regulation stringency on corporate environmental responsibility and national environmental goals is risi

”Most of Sweden’s surface is covered by forest, 68 percent is woodland; the built-up and landscaped land does not make up more than 3 percent of Sweden’s total land area. About 50% of the forest land is made of pine (Pinus sylvestris), making it the most common tree species in the country’s forests.” In the 70s, a design movement was established in Swedish homes “ Svensk fur”. It was cheap, hones

N-2030 is an autonomous car-sharing interior concept that suggests what we humans could be doing in the future of vehicles. Dead time during travelling opens up new abilities of spending time. N-2030 has a focus point on investigating how people have and are using free time in everyday life. Fully autonomous vehicles opens up an opportunity to break the tradition of what to do in a future car int

Ever growing environmental impact due to human activities has increased efforts globally to tackle the issues by promoting sustainable behavior. Similar efforts are also being made to handle the waste and litter problem of single-use takeaway food packaging. Sweden aims to reduce the impact of takeaway food packaging by introducing a directive to reduce consumption of single-use packaging and repl

Löss-palaeosol-sekvensen (LPS) vid Velika Vrbica är belägen nära Donaus sydvästra strand i västra delen av den valakiska sänkan i Serbien. Sekvensens översta fem meter undersöktes med optiskt stimulerad luminiscensdatering (OSL) på kvarts och med magnetisk susceptibilitet (MS) varpå sedimentackumulationshastigheten (MAR) beräknades. Lagerföljden omfattar två enheter: en holocen jordmån (S0, 70The Velika Vrbica loess-palaeosol sequence (LPS) is situated at the westernmost edge of the Wallachian basin, Serbia. The profile’s uppermost five metres were investigated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) quartz, magnetic susceptibility (MS) and mass accumulation rates (MAR). It is situated proximal to the southwestern bank of the Danube River and has received varying rates of loes

This thesis investigates how freedom of speech is implemented in a Swedish library context, by examining what actions and practices the concept is translated into at the Dawit Isaak Library in Malmö, a library focused on freedom of speech and banned literature that opened at Malmö City Archive in 2020. The aim of the study is to illuminate and clarify discrepancies between the theoretical definiti

The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit
