Urban environments are often seen as the opposite of natural environments, with the belief that the built cannot accommodate the natural. However, this is a false perception. Ecological systems within urban environments are of great importance and can provide microclimates and habitats that do not exist in surrounding areas. Yet, this quality is rarely utilized because of the perception that built

Nature-based solutions (NbS) have proven effective in addressing urban sustainability challenges. This thesis focuses on bridging the gap in NbS short-term interventions, scale, and financial barriers. It examines the instrumentalization and implementation of successful long-term interventions from a policy and urban governance perspective, aiming to inspire cities and identify commonalities. The

Det här är ett arbete som undersöker den kritiska rörelse som växte fram och trotsade myndigheters och expertisens råd och restriktioner. En rörelse som mitt under en pågående pandemi tog till gatorna och proklamerade att våra friheter och rättigheter var hotade. Som en följd målades rörelsen också upp som ett hot mot demokratin, men vad ville de egentligen, hur lydde deras problemformulering och

This thesis investigates potential ways to improve the image stabilization in Axis Communications surveillance cameras. The current in-house developed stabilization algorithm, Axis EIS, stabilizes based on gyroscope measurements. We compare a purely gyroscope based stabilization algorithm with a gyroscope-accelerometer sensor fusion stabilization algorithm, image-based stabilization algorithms and

Den här rapporten beskriver processen att designa och utveckla ett hopfällbart motoriserat mikrotransportfordon, som följer användaren, för urban transport. Projektet görs i samarbete med Volvo Car Corporation. Transportindustrin står som en betydande bidragsgivare till växthusgasutsläpp. Som ett resultat görs många ansträngningar för att minska dessa utsläpp och möta hållbarhetsmål, varför många This thesis describes the process of designing and developing a foldable motorized micro-haulage vehicle, which follows the user, for urban transportation. The project is made in collaboration with Volvo Car Corporation. The transportation industry stands as a significant contributor to greenhouse emissions. As a result, many efforts are being made to lower these emissions and reach sustainability

The concept of sustainable degrowth presents itself as a normative response to some of the most pressing socio-ecological challenges of our time. The energy sector plays a prominent role in the degrowth debate, however, there is limited conceptual and empirical understanding of how energy production and consumption might look like from a degrowth perspective and which actors might be compatible wi

The soda beverage industry has a global duopoly where Coca-Cola and Pepsi dominate the market. This paper aims to investigate how that duopoly can still exist after decades of competition trying to break the oligopoly where a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodologies where empirical evidence is featured to help validate theoretical assertions. Firstly, the companies financial data

Titel: Finns det en framtid för marknadsförare? – En kvalitativ studie om AI:s påverkan på den digitala marknadsförarens yrkesroll och autonomi Universitet: Lund Universitet, Campus Helsingborg Ämne/kurs: KSMK65 - Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Emma Blomstedt och Milka Daniel Handledare: Ola Thufvesson Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur digitala markn

The American author and journalist Joan Didion was especially known for her non-fiction that pertinently described the culture she lived in, but her novels also offer a frank and realistic perspective on American society. In her two first novels Run River (1963) and Play It As It Lays (1970) Didion portrays the respective main characters, Lily Knight McClellan and Maria Wyeth, as fragile women who

Brazil has received international attention and investment for renewable energy production, including investments to produce low-carbon hydrogen: green hydrogen. However, green hydrogen requires relatively new technology and inputs are still expensive when compared to fossil fuels. The diffusion of this technology depends on the fulfillment of seven innovation functions. This study therefore seeks

A loop of urbanization, increasing impervious surface in urban areas, increasing temperature, rainfall, surface runoff and flooding, and lack of new spaces have been adding challenges to urban drainage systems for decades. The climate change impacts are exposing the existing vulnerable conventional urban drainage systems to more challenges in the future. A new idea of sustainable drainage syst

This thesis explores the under-recognised yet symptomatic visual motif of two women, a recurring theme within a vast array of pictorial examples. Its primary objective is to construct a theoretical and methodological framework capable of comprehending the multiplicity of images in the form of an image collection: The Atlas of Two Women. This inquiry primarily draws on Walter Benjamin’s concept of

Biotin is an essential co-factor in various metabolic processes and is crucial for the growth and maintenance of living organisms. The market need for biotin is multifaceted and driven by its importance in human health, beauty and cosmetics applications, pharmaceuticals, animal nutrition, and other industries. Current methods of industrial biotin production are unsustainable and generate environme

This paper takes a closer look at a Swedish group of teenagers' usage of fashion in their identity development in an effort to contribute to the understanding of fashion usage in youth culture. By involving them in discussions and interviews, and basing it in theory this paper comes to a somewhat understanding in how phenomena such as religion, gender identity, and celebrity influence the way

Inom fysiken och vissa delar av matematiken siktar man på att beskriva så mycket av naturen som möjligt. Det gör man genom att hitta modeller som passar bäst till varje situation. Naturligtvis är vissa system mycket svårare än andra att förstå matematiskt och vattenvågor är ett exempel på ett sådant system. Under 1800-talet formulerades Euler-ekvationerna, som beskriver rörelsen av ideala fluider,In their paper, Vanden-Broeck, Miloh and Spivack (Wave Motion 27, 1998) describe two limiting behaviours of irrotational, axisymmetric capillary water waves using numerical methods. They found a two-parameter family of nontrivial solutions. Some solutions of small amplitude approach a uniform stream, while others approach a static configuration. Our main interest is with the branch of static confi

Denna studie fokuserar på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning på gymnasienivå och högskolenivå där fenomenet absolut gehör är i fokus. Studien är gjord utifrån två gruppers perspektiv: elever med absolut gehör, och lärare med erfarenhet av att under visa av elever med absolut gehör. Studien belyser framför allt hur lärare anpassar undervisningen till elever med absolut gehör samt vad elever med absThis study focuses on ear training at secondary and university level where the phenomenon of absolute pitch is in focus. The study is partly from the perspective of two groups: students with absolute pitch, and teachers with experience teaching students with absolute pitch. Above all, the study highlights how teachers adapt their teaching to students with absolute pitch and what students with abso

YouTube plays a significant role in the right wing media ecosystem, especially as an alternative source for news and information beyond traditional media outlets. PragerU is a far right YouTube channel with over 3 million subscribers and 1.7 billion views at the time of writing, which lies on the periphery of the Alternative Influence Network and subsequent alt-right pipeline. Using the organizati

Enzymes are often considered a green approach next to conventional fossil-based chemicals helping us on the margin towards a low-impact society. While enzyme catalysed reactions are low environmental impact technologies, their production is not. In this study, a comparative life cycle assessment of different recombinant enzyme manufacturing strategies quantifies and evaluates the contribution of d
