This essay investigates the theme of lack of communication in personal relationships in the short stories “Esbjerg, en la costa” by Juan Carlos Onetti and “GPS” by Isaac Rosa. The purpose is to make a comparison of the two stories, analyzing them to decide how the same theme, that of lack of communication in personal relationships, can be narrated so differently. In both stories the men suspec

This thesis studies the effects of Higher-Derivative Gravity, in an Effective Field Theory format, on the properties of a rotating black hole. In particular, it corrects the Einstein-Hilbert action with curvature invariants that contain six and eight derivatives. The resulting Equations Of Motion are first derived, and then solved with an ansatz that permits the study of black holes with an arbitr

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur ungdomar och vuxna som vuxit upp med en förälder med ett alkoholberoende beskriver sina emotioner samt vilken påverkan dessa emotioner fått på deras beteenden i barndomen. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där blogginlägg från barnrättsorganisationen Maskrosbarn analyseras. Dessa blogginlägg är skrivna av ungdomar eller vuxna som själva vuxit upp

Klimatförändringar är en av de största utmaningar som vi har idag globalt, och skogsbruket spelar en vital roll i kampen mot dessa förändringar. Genom att förstå och reglera brukandet och förvaltningen av våra skogar kan vi bidra till att minska koldioxidutsläppen och kan då öka upptaget av växthusgaser från atmosfären till skog och mark. Ett viktigt verktyg för att åstadkomma detta är LULUCF-föroThe European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec

This thesis explores the intersection of ceremonial spaces and the concept of “the thinking hand” in architecture, with a focus on the design of secular spaces for funerals and burials in the context of Sweden’s increasing secularization. Drawing upon Juhani Pallasmaa’s “The Thinking Hand,” the thesis emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge, sensory experiences, and materiality in architec

While cameras are the most prevalent devices used in physical surveillance and monitoring, there are situations where they are ineffective. In adverse weather conditions, darkness or privacy-sensitive contexts, there are excellent opportunities to replace or complement cameras with radar. There are advanced and successful computer vision solutions for cameras, in areas such as object detection or

This thesis investigates the diffusion conditions of Wilson Golf’s recently launched Wilson Fit AI, an innovative custom fitting technology that leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the customer experience. This technology has the potential to transform norms and disrupt the status quo in custom fitting. Using innovation diffusion theory, the author evaluates the diffusion opportunities

This study examines the effects on risk-minimisation by incorporating emerging market equities in a portfolio, from the perspective of a Swedish investor. Since investors usually care about returns these are also a part of the study. The hypothesis is that the international diversification benefits will outweigh the higher risks of emerging market equities. The analysis is conducted on 267 monthly

In my master's thesis, I explore the post-war scenario in Ukraine, focusing on the aftermath of the conflict. My primary objective is to formulate a comprehensive strategy that not only accelerates the reconstruction process but also promotes sustainable growth in a targeted area. For my project, I have chosen the city of Kherson. Positioned as a vital port city on the Black Sea and the Dniep

Denna studie utforskade möjligheterna att använda sig av särskilda mer lättillgängliga enzymer ur tidigare studiers enzymblandningar för att ta reda på hur de kan bryta ner kolhydraterna hos brunalgen S. latissima till fermenterbara sockerkedjor utan specifikt anpassade enzymer som Alginate lyase och Laminarinase. Enzymerna som användes var α-Amylas, β-Amylas och Amyloglukosidas, tre enzymer som oThis study explored the possibilities of using specific, more accessible enzymes from previous studies' enzyme cocktails to determine wether they break down the carbohydrates of the brown algae S. latissima into fermentable sugar chains without specifically tailored enzymes such as Alginate lyase and Laminarinase.

Bekämpningsmedel används för att motarbeta ogräs och skadedjur såsom insekter. De kan på ett effektivt sätt skydda ens favoritväxter och -odlingar, men risker att vara giftiga för miljö och hälsa även om de innehåller naturliga ämnen. Det är därför viktigt att förstå varför och hur människor använder bekämpningsmedel. Tidigare studier har försökt få grepp om varför människor väljer att använda sigThis study has been conducted to show the meaning of how background factors and attitudes affect the usage of chemical products in urban gardens in Lund. This was performed with the use of a questionnaire that was sent out to two Facebook groups, Lunds Trädgårdssällskap and another private group oriented towards people who live in or come from Lund. From an environmental perspective, this study is

Elektroniskt avfall (e-avfall) är en växande oro runt om i världen som släpper ut farliga kemikalier och föroreningar både i soptippar och vattendrag och stör ekosystemens funktioner. E-avfall genereras när enheter som telefoner, datorer, diskmaskiner, kylskåp osv. kastas bort antingen på grund av att de går sönder eller när konsumenterna väljer att kasta sin fungerande enhet för att köpa en nyareE-waste is one of the largest environmental hazards of the modern era. As more products are thrown away, more hazardous chemicals and pollutants are put into both the landfills and water systems, some of which is drinking water for not just people but also animals and plants. Repairing these devices allows them to have a longer lifespan which minimises e-waste. The RtR movement has sought to make

Klimatförändringar är en ökande verklighet för många människor, sätter vår framtid på spel, och ställer krav på hur vi kan skapa förändring. Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att undersöka forskningsfrågan om natursyn påverkar individens miljövänligt beteende, samt replikerade tidigare forskning som visat att kvinnor tenderar att vara mer miljövänliga än män. En enkät bestående av 12 frågorClimate change is an increasing reality for many people, risking our future and demanding ways to mitigate the process. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the research question regarding if perception of nature has an impact on pro-environmental behavior, as well as replicating previous research stating that women are prone to more pro-environmental behavior than men. An int

Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsaResearch shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy wor

Research on mental health (MH) help-seeking behavior is still trying to understand influencing factors that hinder individuals in obtaining professional help. This becomes particularly important as young adults show a high prevalence of mental illness (MI) but a low prevalence of seeking help. So far, MH stigma resulting from self-directed and public attitudes, emotions and behaviors has been cons
