This is a thesis exploring and comparing four different GIS-based viewscape analysis methods, as well as delving into GIS-based soundscape both in practice and theory. The use of these methods leads to a discussion about their utility for gaining new knowledge about past landscapes and possibilities to create phenomenological studies using GIS-based software. The case study is the old Bosebo churc
Accepting the natural - idea analysis of the usage of ”the natural” in the manifesto acceptera (1931) The manifesto acceptera is considered a very influential text for the introduction of functionalism in Swedish architecture and planning. Written in 1931 and associated with the broader Social Democratic agenda, its ideas represent a radical position aiming to shift architecture and society into
Försäkringskassan's status report from 2023 shows that more and more people in Sweden are taking sick leave as a result of stress-related mental illness. The reasons behind sick leave are often that for a longer period, you have not experienced a balance between the demands placed on you and the resources and opportunities you have had to meet these demands and this ultimately leads to exhaust
The aesthetic and literary genre of dark academia has become popular due to its romanticisation of immersive academic learning and lifestyles. It has however been criticised for its frequent glorification of and focus on Eurocentric educational institutions which celebrate Western patriarchal exclusivity. This thesis examines in how far this is true of the genre’s prominent novels Donna Tartt’s Th
Max Bengtsson A Site Selection of An Energy Island in the North Sea: Optimal Location in an Ecological and an Economic Scenario Using a Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). The Danish Government has decided to build an energy island, either as an artificial island in sand, concrete and steel or as a platform solution in the Danish exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the North Sea. The idea of the
Swedish Title: En Ny Era för Ett Nytt Burma: Avkoloniseringens Diskurs och Nationens Strävan i Burma efter Andra Världskriget This study explores the nature of the nationalist discourse in Burma (Myanmar) in the short period of time following World War II but preceding Burma’s declaration of independence on the 4th of January, 1948. Burma, then a British colony in Southeast Asia, had been promised
The shift towards more environmentally friendly means of transportation is a pivotal change that needs to be made, to save the environment. The transportation sector alone constitutes roughly a third of all greenhouse emissions in Sweden, making it one of the leading contributors to all greenhouse gases. With ever-growing climate awareness, the idea of adopting a greener approach to protect the pl
Based on behavioural finance theory and stock market data, this paper studies the contagion of investor sentiment in international markets and its impact o n the US stock market . We use monthly data on four indicators (business confidence index, consumer confidence index, the volume of initial public offerings, and trading volume) for eight countries (the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Germ
The present study focuses on online spaces centered on eating disorders. I conducted a discourse analysis using public posts under hashtags related to eating disorders on Twitter and Tumblr. My analytical process was guided by the assumptions of the self-categorisation theory of identity. It attempts to elucidate how the discursive trends and common repertoires used by the members of these online
To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
Virtual 3D reconstructions of live sport events are on the horizon and to produce a high quality experience for viewers it is important that the movements of the 3D models look natural. Today, state of the art pose estimators produce data that con-tains noise, resulting in jittery animations with pose errors. The goals for this thesis were to evaluate the performance of a Long Short-Term Memory (L
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka målkonflikten mellan den gröna industrialiseringen och den samiska ursprungsbefolkningens rättigheter samt intressen, med särskilt fokus på hur konflikten manifesteras i konsultationer med samiska företrädare. Dessa konsultationer genomförs i enlighet med lagen om konsultation i frågor som rör det samiska folket, en central lagstiftning i denna studie. För aThis thesis aims to examine the conflict of goals between the green industrialization and the rights and interests of the indigenous Sami people, with a particular focus on how the conflict manifests in consultations with the Sami people. These consultations are conducted under the Act on Consultation in Matters Concerning the Sami People, a central piece of legislation in this study. In order to
Hematopoiesis refers to the formation of mature blood cells, a process driven by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow. These rare cells are characterized by their long-term self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential, enabling the maintenance and reconstitution of the hematopoietic system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key regulators of normal hematopoiesis, and perox
This thesis explores a method of volumetric modelling through 3D Geographic Information system (GIS), as a part of post-excavation research in a rescue archaeology project. The process is based on data generated through the combination of photogrammetry and more traditional documentation methods. The subject of research is a 10th to11th century midden feature at the Fjörður site in East Iceland. T
De snabba klimatförändringar som nu sker kopplas av de flesta klimatforskare ihop med ökad halt av växthusgaser i atmosfären, något byggbranschen är starkt bidragande till. Byggbranschen ger också upphov till mycket avfall, år 2020 uppgick bygg- och rivningsavfallet till 14, 2 miljoner ton vilket motsvarar 40 procent av allt genererat avfall i Sverige. Enligt Boverkets miljöindikatorer verkar mängThe rapid climate changes that are now occurring are linked by most climate scientists to increased levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, something the construction industry is a strong contributor to. The construction industry also generates a lot of waste. A simple way to quickly reduce the climate impact from the construction industry can be to reduce the amount of waste. The purpose of
Large financial institutions are vulnerable to numerous financial risks, necessitating robust regulatory frameworks to prevent crises such as those experienced in 2008. The Basel framework, devised by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, incorporates critical measures such as the credit valuation adjustment (CVA) to mitigate these risks. CVA fluctuates significantly based on market factors
The master’s thesis reviews in detail what problematic provisions the Georgian law “on Transparency of Foreign Influence” contains and analyses its possible effects and impact on civil society. The study also draws heavily on the historical and political context that led to the adoption of the law. The paper strictly analyses the compliance of the law with the European Convention on Human Rights (
Klangen av ett piano och en gitarr, ett glas som börjar vibrera för att till slut gå i bitar på grund av att en viss ljudfrekvens spelats och svajningen av en hängbro under marscherande soldaters fötter, allt detta är exempel på resonans. Vilket kan förklaras som att en viss frekvens får en mycket starkare påverkan. Även om i fal- let med piano så är det effekten av resonans man söker för dess klaThis thesis presents a method, from an article by Gouveia and Stone, for solving resonant ODE:s as well as ODE:s with multiple roots, based on perturbation theory. It also gives a mathematical justification for the method as well as background on resonance and repeated roots. Later in the thesis we use the method to solve a number of ODE’s, illustrating its usefulness.
This thesis investigates whether the Quran burnings led to diminishing Swedish export flows to Muslim countries. By implementing a synthetic control method, the findings indicate no significant effect on Swedish exports. However, the alternative method, synthetic difference-in-differences, demonstrates a statistically significant decrease of 0,212% in Swedish exports, although negligible in terms
