As of January 2021 Covid19 had left more than half the world’s pilots unemployed (Reuters, 2021). This paper aims to investigate how pilots are affected in terms of attitude and new career choices following a redundancy caused by Covid19 and use these insights to help future pilots be better prepared to handle similar crises. This qualitative study interviewed five former Norwegian Air Shuttle pil
Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. In this thesis, we synthesize a group of DNSBs using data from Church et al. (2011) and normalize t
År 2020 har fört med sig många utmaningar och med en pågående pandemi har en stor majoritet av arbetsplatser behövt förflytta sig till den virtuella världen för att bromsa smittspridningen. Men om det tas en närmare titt på byggbranschen kommer man inse snabbt att det kan vara svårt att utföra vissa arbetsuppgifter från sitt hemkontor. Byggbranschen i allmänhet och byggproduktion i synnerhet är be
This study aims to understand how and if the youth recreational centers (fritidsgårdar) in Malmö are able to help the young people that visit them handle different forms of social vulnerability. We have used the report made by the Noa group (Nationella operativa avdelningen) that is part of the police authority, which has identified four vulnerable areas in Malmö. Through the conducted interviews
Debates around biodiversity and forestry in Sweden have gotten increasingly polarised, with two conflicting forestry goals of production and environmental conservation. Significantly for forest birds, two different claims are occurring simultaneously: 1) forest bird abundance is increasing with positive population trends for some species while 2) there is a stagnation or even decline in forest bir
In the last 50 years the gay pride movement has gained more momentum worldwide than ever before. The increased visibility obtained from the Stonewall riots of 1969 in the US, granted queer identities agency. Almost a decade later, the gay pride movement started to flourish in Greece as well, but the country did not see its first gay Pride parade until 2005 in the capital city of Athens. Since then
Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon
Malmös universitet Niagara började byggas 2009 och invigdes 2015. 2009 avgjordes en arkitekttävling där deltagarna skulle presentera en design på byggnaden. Vinnaren blev designföretaget Lundgaard & Tranberg som skapade en byggnad som består av tre huskroppar med ett stort, öppet atrium i mitten. Niagara har sedan 2015 brukats, till största del för, universitetsundervisning och kontorsarbete. Malmö University Niagara began to be built 2009 and inaugurated in 2015. In 2009 a competition in architecture where the competitors should present a design of the building. The winner of the competition was the design company Lundagaard & Tranberg who created a building with three bodies with a big, open atrium in the middle.

During recent years, the world has experienced a trend of diminishing freedoms. The failure of governments around the world to tackle polarization and inequality has resulted in a discontent amongst people. A discontent which has been exploited by autocratic and populist leaders claiming to have the right answers. Such a development has occurred in Hungary, where the Fidesz government has transfor
This master’s thesis examines discursive problem representations of involuntary childlessness in official government documents related to the medicalisation of involuntary childlessness in Sweden. A feminist and poststructuralist policy analysis is carried out using the methodological framework “What is the problem represented to be?” in combination with theoretical concepts from medicalisation an
This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i
When the public library in Malmö presented the forthcoming implementation of IMMS (Intelligent Material Management System) a debate followed in which both pros and cons were put forth. IMMS, a developed stock management system, introduces new ways for libraries to handle their physical collections. With a joint floating collection, the system introduces an algorithm, batch management and chaotic s
Climate change affects every ecosystem, country, and individual on this planet. However, its impacts are felt differently across time and space, differentiating between the diverse communities, depending on their vulnerability. The purpose of this comparative case study is to problematize vulnerability to climate change by examining the differences in vulnerability between informal settlements and
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the phenomenon of philosophical dialogues taking place within a public library setting. I argue that such an investigation be of interest because of the fact that many of the benefits attributed to “public philosophy” - as this kind of activity is often referred to - are also benefits that correspond to values, or aspirations that have been presented as
Snabbt växande skulder ökar risken för en finansiell kris. En bankkris utlöses oftast av en negativ chock i hushålls eller företags högt belånade tillgångar. Under 2000-talet har ekonomiskt avancerade länder ökat användningen av makrotillsynsåtgärder, restriktioner och krav på finansiella institutioner och hushåll med syfte att minska systematisk risk. Målen med åtgärderna är att öka bankers likviA high growth rate in debt increases the risk of a financial crisis. A bank crisis most commonly occurs as a result of a negative chock to highly leveraged assets own by companies or households. Advanced economies have during the last twenty years increased their use of macroprudential policies, restrictions and requirements aimed at financial institutions and households with the purpose of decrea
In the 1990’s there was a lot of discussions in the EU regarding energy and the need for a common EU energy market. Both for the sake of competition, but also in order to provide a stable supply of energy to all EU citizens. The EU began promoting an EU energy market. The first EU legal acts in this area concerned the establishment of an EU energy market and consequently to create competition be
För en jämn utsläppsfördelning över jordens befolkning, samtidigt som Parisavtalets mål om en 1,5 graders temperaturhöjning nås, kan var individ släppa ut max 1 ton koldioxidekvivalenter (CO2e) per år (Naturvårdsverket, 2021b). Svensk genomsnittlig livsmedelskonsumtion uppgår idag till 1,3 ton CO2e per år och individ (ibid.) vilket innebär att för att nå målen behöver utsläppen från livsmedelskons
In contemporary China, society is dominated by heteronormativity. Sexual minorities are still in a precarious condition as a result of the ingrained sociofamilial norms and the gendered conventions of marriage. This investigation is designed as a case study, focusing on the life accounts of a Chinese homosexual couple and their online grassroots activism. Three theoretical concepts have been appli
