Theory and earlier research within the field of social sustainability and architecture is used to evaluate Riksbyggen’s beliefs. A qualitative content analysis is made to examine the chosen texts from Riksbyggen’s web
The development of Mälaräng in the southwestern part of Stockholm aims to bridge the social and economic gap in between neighboring areas Mälarhöjden and Bredäng. Theories of the Just City by Susan Fainstein and the Lively City constructed by Jane Jacobs are applied to investigate the planning of Mälaräng regarding social, economic and physical environment-factors through the lens of justice and l

Att kunna konfigurera och/eller kontrollera ett fordon genom en mobilapplikation är något som blir allt vanligare i den värld vi lever i. Det finns därav ett behov av att undersöka hur säkerheten hanteras i just detta scenario. Denna kandidatuppsats är en undersökning i form av en litteraturstudie kring vilka risker och hot som finns då ett fordon ska kunna konfigureras och kontrolleras genom en To be able to control and/or configure a vehicle through a mobile app is something that is becoming more usual in the world we live in. Because of this there is an inherent demand to further explore how to handle the security in this scenario. This Bachelor thesis is an investigation in the shape of a literature study into which risks and threats that appear when a vehicle is to be controlled and
This study examines the relationship between the public debt quota and economic growth while using the Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) as a theoretical base. This is done with a panel data regression using 81 countries over a time period from 1980-2019. MMT emphasises that countries in control of their monetary base, monetarily sovereign countries, can hold a larger public debt without negative effec
This paper examines if individuals take local income taxes and public spending into account when choosing where to live. A hedonic price model is applied to a dataset containing 5545 sales in southern Skåne to used to analyze the effects of local tax and spending differences on the prices of privately-owned housing. The different effects for apartments and houses as well as the effect of municipal
Antimicrobial resistance is an acute global health problem. Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable, where antibiotic self-medication is one of the main causes of antimicrobial resistance. Previous research points to the role of pharmacies, where antibiotics are sometimes sold over the counter. Such behavior can be analyzed economically using game theory. This study aimed to analyze and moti
Emergency planning is required to respond to the increasing wildfire threat. A part of this is to assess a community’s capacity to move to a safe place during wildfires. This can be achieved by calculating the time it takes for a community to evacuate from an at-risk area to a relatively safe place. Simple approaches, such as the commonly used engineering calculation, may provide access to a broad
Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. Considering hereinabove mentioned points the aim of this study is to assess the EKC hypothesis in
Denna studie har syftet att studera studenters upplevelser kring distansundervisning ur ett lärandeperspektiv, hur distansundervisning har påverkat studenters psykosociala hälsa samt vilka fördelar, nackdelar och förbättringsmöjligheter det finns med den virtuella lärmiljön och i synnerhet lärplattformar. Det finns faktorer som universitet kan ta hänsyn till när det ska undervisas på distans, och
På senare år har andelen kvinnor i styrelse- och ledningsgrupper ökat. Nyligen har internationella studier visat att det finns ett samband mellan andelen kvinnor i styrelser och ett bolags lönsamhet. Denna studie ämnar att undersöka om om det finns ett statistiskt säkerställt samband mellan andelen kvinnor i styrelser respektive ledningsgrupper och bolags lönsamhet i Sverige. Metoden består av tre
Predicting occupant behaviour is vital to ensure energy performance in the built environment. Several studies reported discrepancies between the predicted and actual occupant behaviour in buildings, including that towards manual solar shading systems. This results in an energy performance gap between predicted and actual energy use in buildings. In this research, the self-reported use of manual
It is beneficial for both investors and companies to avoid the detrimental consequences of overpricing during an initial public offering (IPO). Prospectuses are an important source of information for potential investors. Through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) we extract topics from the summary section of prospectuses S-1 for companies holding an IPO in the U.S. in 2019-2020. We represent the un
This paper studies the effect of the Czech economy on the Slovak Republic. Specifically, we analyze the general economic relationship as well as responses of macroeconomic variables of Slovakia to shocks in the Czech Republic. Firstly, we present the theoretical background of their relationship on top of which we build a regression analysis. Secondly, for the regression analysis, we used quarterly
Artificiell intelligens kan leda till disruptiva innovationer som verksamheter måste ta ställning till för att fortsätta vara konkurrenskraftiga. Med profilerade fall som Cambridge Analytica har etik i förhållande till datadriven AI fått en ny betydelse. Riktlinjer har framlagts för att vägleda organisationer till hur de ska förhålla sig till etik och AI. Det har framkommit att dessa dock inte föl
This study aims to broaden the remits of the relatively scant hitherto literature focused on the impact of the changes in macroeconomic indicators on automotive stock returns. Since a considerable fraction of previous empirical research covered multiple industries, historical results may not be directly transferable for the purposes of the analysis of the automotive industry. This article posits t
The aim of this thesis is to conduct a discourse analysis on Texas’ and Mexico’s abortion policies from September 2021 by applying Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ method, together with a theoretical framework based in reproductive governance and SRHR. The research questions are: what is the problem of abortion represented to be in these policies, and to what extent the discourses
Denna uppsats undersöker vilka bestämningsfaktorer som påverkar prissättning hos frisörsalonger. Med hjälp av en regressionsanalys visar studien att konkurrens inte har någon signifikant påverkan på vilket pris som frisörsalonger erbjuder. Den ekonometriska modellen visar att prissättning inom frisörbranschen primärt är en faktor av frisörsalongernas kostnader. Resultatet analyseras utifrån ett na
The European Green Deal and the subsequent action plans, including the “Action Plan on Circular Economy” and “A new Industrial Strategy for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe”, recently adopted by the European Commission, indicate that sustainability and environmental concerns, among others, are becoming more and more important in the eyes of the legislator. Sustainable development i
Ex vivo organ perfusion is a technique that aims to increase the amount of organ donors by treating an otherwise nonfunctional organ with a perfusion fluid outside of the body to restore its function. UGLK Science is an ex vivo organ perfusion company outside of Lund specializing in kidney transplantation. The organ is perfused in a machine which restores kidney function, allowing the organ to sur
