Bostadsmarknaden har under en längre tid kantats av ett antal problem både på ägande- och hyresmarknaden. Majoriteten av landets kommuner rapporterar en rådande bostadsbrist och effektivitetsförlusten till följd av efterfrågeöverskottet beräknas till 10 miljarder kronor per år. Identifierade problem på bostadsmarknaden är avsaknaden av fungerande flyttkedjor, långa bostadsköer, höga bostadspriser The Swedish housing market has been pressured for a long time with a majority of Swedish municipalities reporting housing shortages. The efficiency loss due to unmet demand is estimated at 10 billion SEK annually. Identified obstacles on the housing market are lack of functioning vacancy chains, long housing queues, high prices and constraining legislation. In 2009, new legislation was introduced

The aim of the degree project is to continue the work of PhD student YuanShuai Qin on creating a fast retuning of the ESS accelerator lattice in the event of an accelerating cavity being offline. The main goal of the project was evaluating and improving the retuning routine created by YuanShuai Qin. The major concern is to maintain beam stability by reducing emittance growth and keeping the beam p

Coherent lensless X-ray imaging techniques provide very high-resolution images not limited by optical components. These techniques record diffraction patterns that can be used for retrieving the phase information of the X-rays passing through a sample. To perform high-resolution imaging with coherent imaging techniques, highly coherent X-rays from high brilliance sources, where high-intensity X-ra

In this project we address the issue of not having a space to be on your own when living in a small space situation as a child. We believe it is important for children’s development and wellbeing to play and discover the world and themselves, sometimes without the supervision of an adult. But how do you find that space if you live in an urban situated apartment, and share bedroom with a sibling? T

Syftet med denna studie är att ge klarhet i adoptionsprocessen av en plattformsbaserad affärsstrategi för ett etablerat företag genom en fallstudie i den diskreta tillverkningsindustrin. Studien avser att bidra till den nuvarande begränsade litteraturen om affärsstrategiska och organisatoriska följder för etablerade företag när dessa implementerar en plattformsbaserad affärsstrategi. Därav är forsThe purpose with this thesis is to give clarity in the process when adopting a platform strategy for an incumbent by using a single case in the discrete manufacturing industry. Moreover, it seeks to extend the current yet limited research regarding strategical and organizational implications for incumbents when adopting a platform strategy. Therefore, the research question for this thesis is: Whic

Monitoring crop phenology at parcel scale aligns with the concept of precision agriculture (PA) and can provide invaluable information to agronomic management systems. Satellite time series data are commonly deployed for detecting crop growth stages, while the recent advancements in remote sensing (RS) technologies such as the launch of Sentinel 2 (S2) are providing unprecedented opportunities for

I started out this project with an interest in how important play is for a healthy childhood. I wanted to investigate in how we can develop play equipment for playgrounds and how the form language affects the imagination. To expand my knowledge, I reached out to playground responsible at Malmö stad for an interview and also met a school class to ask about their opinions on playgrounds. After I ha

Methylation of lysine (Kme) is known to regulate several important functions, altering gene expression and cell cycle progression. However, mass spectrometry based proteomic analysis of the modification has not been possible due to the lack of efficient purification strategies to enrich modified peptides for analysis. In this study, we identified and evaluated several in-house and commercial candi

This dissertation is a qualitative study that has examined och concluded whether fashion can be considered as an art form or not. Based on this question, four different kinds of fashion clothes with artistic expressions have been analyzed. It has been based on sociologist Howard Becker’s thesis about the difference between artwork and craftsmanship. The study of the exemplified objects have been s

Amerikanska polisens dödliga våld mot svarta människor är ett människorättsproblem som inte är nytt. Ett människorättsproblem som visar tydligt hur den strukturella rasismen samverkar i amerikanska institutioner. Den amerikanska polisen blir hållna om ryggen och detta har skapat en systematisk straffrihet. Syftet med denna studie är att visa på hur den rättsliga hanteringen och dess rättsliga påfö

The purpose of the paper is to contribute to the current feminist debate on alternative spirituality, often referred to as new age, in regard to gender essentialism and agency. Firstly, the analysis explores how the examined discourses construct women as subjects. Secondly

The aim for this study is to observe and conduct experiments on a composite productions machining process in order to gather knowledge and data on the process. The information will be used to make recommendations for improving the process in terms of production capacity and product quality.The initial part of the study was to conduct a literature review on composite machining and a market research

Cementstabiliserad asfalt (CSA) är ett kompositslitlager bestående av en asfaltbeläggning med högt hålrum som är fyllt med en cementbaserad slamma. Produkten kan därför kallas för ett semiflexibelt slitlager på grund av att egenskaper från både asfalt och betong kombineras. Egenskaperna som kännetecknar CSA är asfaltens elasticitet samt cementens bärighet och beständighet, hög motståndskraft mot kCement stabilized asphalt (CSA) is a composite layer consisting of an asphalt with high cavity which is filled with a cement-based slurry. The product can therefore be called a semiflexible wearing course because of its combined characteristics from both asphalt and concrete. The characteristic features of CSA are the asphalts elasticity and the cements buoyancy and resistance, high resistance aga

We develop and examine a dynamic factor nowcasting model (DFM) from the perspective of a financial market participant. The first point of analysis is the examination of its performance. Unlike other papers, we evaluate with daily frequency so that the performance metric reflects a continuous nowcasting signal. Secondly, we examine the effect of using real-time vintage data which avoids look-ahead

Kapaciteten är ett ständigt återkommande problem på den svenska järnvägen och allt fler resenärer har börjat välja tåg som färdmedel, detta medför att kapacitetsproblemet bara kommer öka. Kollektivresandet i Sverige har under det senaste decenniet ökat markant och det är främst resandet på järnväg som ökat. Denna ökning har även påverkat Skåne där pendling till arbete och utbildning idag har bliviCapacity is a constant problem on the Swedish railway. More and more travellers have begun to choose trains as a mean of transport due to the low environmental impact and its convenient way of transport. Public transport in Sweden has increased significantly in the last decade, and it is mainly rail travel that has increased. This increase has also affected Skåne, where commuting to work and educa
