The aim of this thesis is to explain the widely different opinions about the Catholic Professor of Christian Ethics Germain Grisez's (1929-2018) ethics. While some commentators see his ethics as legalistic and deontologic, others think that it’s anti-legalistic and eudaimonic. The Aristotelian and Kantian positions are drawn upon as frames of reference. The focus of the thesis is Grisez's

We call a number representable by some given integers $a_1,\dots,a_n$, if the number can be expressed as a linear combination of $a_1,\dots,a_n$ with non-negative coefficients. This thesis explores the properties of non-representable numbers, with the main focus on the greatest such number called the Frobenius number, denoted by $g(a_1,\dots,a_n)$. We derive a simple formula when $n=2$ for the Fro

This thesis aims to understand what drives municipally initiated renewal of million program neighbourhoods in Sweden. Renewal of million program areas is a common topic of debate in Sweden. A sizeable proportion of the housing in these areas needs renovations and restoration. Furthermore, million program neighbourhoods are often associated with various social issues. To reach the aforementioned ai

This essay is an analysis of the horse during the scandinavian bronze age, more specifically southern scandinavia with a breaking point at circa Gothenburg. The questions regard whether or not the horse was a high status animal during older to younger bronze age in the region and whether or not we can argue this based on rock carvings, horse gear and other pictorial renderings where the horse is p

The aim of this study is to analyze how female reporters portray veganism in the Swedish weekly press between the years 2018-2023. Through a qualitative analysis and a critical discourse analysis the result shows that the portrayal of veganism emphasizes its beneficial impacts on health, the environment, and morality. The health and environmental discourses are positive towards veganism and you ca

Road safety is a critical concern for authorities worldwide. Traditional methods of monitoring traffic flow with today's technology usually involves visual observation or fixed sensor, which may have limitations in both accuracy and reliability. This study investigates the potential of LiDAR technology for traffic monitoring at intersections, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety. The met

Homelessness is one of the crudest manifestations of poverty, and addressing homelessness is thus always urgent. Discourse affects our perception, knowledge and, in the end, policymaking, and hence the perception of what the causes to homelessness are, affect what strategies and policies that are implemented. There has since long been a split in perception on whether homelessness is a result of th

Every company on the verge of market entry faces a myriad of tough choices. Few are as fateful as which go-to-market strategy a company chooses to establish a foothold, entailing crossroads such as whether to prioritise growth or profitability and how to structure sales. This is the position that the white label insurtech Alpha Insurance find themselves in, with a go-to-market strategy in place bu

Jakten på alltmer kompakt och komplicerad elektronik fortsätter lika ivrig som den alltid gjort. Med den takt vi idag håller är det inte förvånande att vi snart kommer att möta problem. Hur små kan vi göra våra kretsar utan att vi möter problem? Svaret är att vi kan komma nära ett par atomer i höjd. Detta svar har vi funnit i en speciellt formad kol hinna kallad grafen. Strukturen av grafen är mycNew 2D materials with high electron mobility can potentially be used for small and energy efficient electronic devices in the future. One such material that has been studied intensely is graphene. Despite the large amount of studies, the question of how to create useful shapes of graphene remains unanswered. In this work I studied how graphene may be spatially etched by intercalating oxygen before

Vilka faktorer dominerar när en människas identitet fastställs? Uppfattas internationellt adopterade kineser som “mindre” kineser i sitt födelseland än de kineser som fötts, vuxit upp och förblivit bosatta i födelselandet? Denna studie undersöker synen på nationell och kulturell tillhörighet genom att ställa flera sammanlänkade frågor om ras, etnicitet, nationell och kulturell tillhörighet. Interv

This experimental study investigates the effect of diversity initiatives on White individuals' perception of discrimination against minorities and whether this relationship interacts with their meritocratic values. With an increased global emphasis on diversity and inclusion, organizations strive to reduce discrimination and instead promote a culture that values diversity. However, the effecti

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) is a software that tracks and manages warehouse activities. The first WMS was introduced in 1975 and today the WMS market is valued at over USD 3 billion. Most warehouses use one as quality assurance becomes unlikely plausible without software support. This thesis focuses on Company X, who are the third-largest manufacturer by revenue in their industry and a

Heavy metal pollution is a worldwide crisis that threatens thousands of species and ecosystems. Within the next couple of decades, the majority of the global population is predicted to live in urban areas which will likely cause the pollution crisis to become even worse if preventive actions aren’t executed now. Hence, proper implementation of urban green spaces and infrastructure is imperative to

The reliable operation of nuclear reactors is contingent upon precise control mechanisms for critical components, such as the head circulation pumps. This master thesis investigates an innovative approach to address the ramp-down speed of these pumps during external electrical grid failures by exploring the application of a supercapacitor group. Presently, the existing solution relies on a fly-whe

Flowering plants depend on pollinators for reproduction, and this entails selection on plant traits linked to phenology, attractiveness and pollination efficiency. Current environmental changes are however acting upon both parties, which in turn affects the interactions between them. In order to better understand how these changes manifest, this study looked at five plant species in semi-natural g

Under det svenska miljonprogrammet byggdes drygt en miljon bostäder under en 10-årsperiod, där lamellhus i 3-våningar är den dominerande hustypen. Produktionen var industriell och rationell med enhetliga metoder och utföranden. Byggnaderna har under åren haft varierad grad av underhåll, men genomgående för husen har generellt varit bristfällig skötsel. Gemensamt för en stor del av byggnaderna är sA fifth of Sweden's current housings were built during the Million Programme (1965 - 1974). A substantional amount of these houses are in a great need of renovation, and furthermore, these houses do not have the same energy performance that modern houses have. As a part of decreasing the building sector's carbon emissions, reaching the climate targets and at the same time utilize already e

Sveriges föreningskultur bidrar till att miljontals individer årligen får ta del av idrottens positiva effekter, såsom förhöjd fysisk och mental hälsa. Även samhället gynnas av en aktiv befolkning gällande exempelvis integration. Utan ideellt engagemang hade inte detta varit möjligt och det är därför av stor vikt att föreningsaktiva har tillgång till digitala verktyg som underlättar deras vardag oPromoting a healthy lifestyle through a user friendly website builder Sweden’s prominent sports club culture engages millions of people in an active lifestyle every year, benefitting both the individual and the society. Therefore, it is crucial to provide user friendly digital tools to help with administration of these associations. This master’s thesis has resulted in a digital tool that will h

Uppsatsen bygger på en empirisk tematisk innehållsanalys med syfte att undersöka hur svenska partier använder sig av negativ kampanj under valåret 2022 på Instagram. De partier som mäts är Socialdemokraterna, Sverigedemokraterna och Moderaterna. Tematisk analys har använts induktivt vilket innebär att materialet formar teman som hittas i primärmaterialet. Negativ kampanj används som teori och en s
