Målbilder och berättelsers betydelse för integreringen av målbilder för hållbara transporter Sveriges klimatmål inom transportsektorn innebär att mängden koldioxidutsläpp inom transporter ska minska drastiskt de kommande åren. Utsläppen från inrikes transporter, exklusive inrikes flyg, ska minska med minst 70% senast år 2030 jämfört med 2010 (Naturvårdsverket, 2018). Som klimatstrategiskt verktyAs a climate tool, investments in pedestrian, bicycle and public transport can be important for reducing climate emissions while investments in these sustainable modes of transport can have more effects to achieve other sustainability goals such as public health, reduced noise, greener outdoor environments, reduced particle emissions and space for creative urban planning. How does a selection of S

Ice Nucleation Proteins (INP) are integral membrane proteins that aid in forming ice crystals. As the name suggests INP help form ice crystals by forming the nucleus around which water molecules align themselves. Under favourable conditions, these water molecules freeze when associated with the protein. INP are present in numerous organisms, the focus of this project, however, was INP from the bac

Throughout the 21st century, Russian policy has been identified primarily by one unalterable person – Vladimir Putin. His coming to power as president of the Russian Federation marked a new course in Russia’s policy. Putin’s political decisions and visions are of considerable importance in Russian domestic policy as much as in international politics. The aim of this paper is to study how Vladimir

The aim of this thesis is to further explore the relationship between the establishment of public transport and gentrification processes. There have been various studies showing the importance of public transport as a contributing factor in providing access to work and other important institutions in urban areas. However, recent studies have also shown that the establishment of public transport in

This project is about food design. IKEA sent me on a mission to investigate the future of food and create useful products for that specific dish. I was told, that my main source of inspiration should be space. Space as in stars, moons, planets and astronauts. The result could potentially be part of a future space collection of IKEA. If, when and how was still not determined. Experiments, liter

The endowment effect, that people tend to value goods higher if owning them than if not, conflicts central economic principles. A new theory explains this price disparity by uncertain sellers’ and buyers’ strategic reliance on opposite borders of a spectrum of possible utilities of a good. Through a review of concurrent theories, this paper highlights the superiority of the new uncertain utilities

Living and acting in collectivity has been a substantial aspect of human development. Built examples of intentional collective living complexes are found in various cultures around the globe some of which are still in use today. With the arrival of the industrial revolution and the influx of huge numbers of workers into cities, the question of collective housing gained momentum. The later quest of

The purpose of this qualitative secondary analysis is to study how victims of sex trafficking are illustrated in previous research. 16 peer reviewed articles have been analysed based on a hermeneutic approach. The results of previous research are consistent: The society has a narrow view of victims, and a more complex, intersectional understanding of the victimhood is required. The victims` storie

Vårdboenden behöver hjälp med att utveckla sin verksamhet för att bli motståndskraftiga mot värmeböljor. Sommaren 2018 var en av de varmaste somrarna SHMI har uppmätt, vilket bland annat fick konsekvenser för äldre. Folkhälsomyndigheten konstaterade att omkring 700 personer dog på grund av hälsoproblem till följd av värmen. Den riskgrupp som anses var en av de som drabbas värst vid höga temperatuIn Sweden, a phenomenon that is becoming more problematic is heatwaves. The summer of 2018 was one of the warmest summers recorded and the need for adaptive measures against the negative effects has never been more urgent. One municipality that are looking for how to handle this is Helsingborg’s municipality. The study focus on how nursing homes in Helsingborg experienced and handled the effects

Corruption is generally considered to affect firm innovation negatively. Yet recent scholarship is indicating that corruption may yield positive effects on innovation practices by removing certain barriers associated with starting up or operating businesses. The differing perspectives on the impact of corruption on firm innovation have engendered two contrasting hypotheses: the ‘sand-the-wheels’ a

Ultra high magnetic field (UHF) MR-systems is an interesting research area, the systems offer images with higher spatial resolution than its lower field counterpart. One of the disadvantages with UHF MR is that they lead to a worsened B1-field homogenity, a homogentity essential for the creation of MR-images. In the project an 8 independent channel transmit system is charachterised. The transmit s

Using trade data from the UNCTAD for 31 countries from 2000 to 2016, this study examines the success of the ASEAN-Korea FTA (AKFTA) by measuring the effect on import performance among member countries. A modified gravity model has been used to address both the issues of unobserved multilateral resistance terms and endogeneity biases to obtain consistent and efficient estimation results. The eviden

Learners of Japanese face many challenges when trying to create linguistic gender identities within the language. With little real experience to draw from, some learners may resort to fictional sources of exposure in order to create masculine identities. Ze and zo, two sentence-final particles that are often associated with male speech are featured quite heavily in fictional speech, but rarely occ

In the face of the climate crisis, there is an increasing engagement with climate adaptation and mitigation across traditional development sectors. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is one such area. From an intersectional feminist perspective engaging questions of gender, race, disability and sexuality, this research examines international SRHR advocacy materials. The aim is to unc

In Senegal, rice plays a crucial role in combating food insecurity since it is one of the most consumed staple crops. Despite this, national rice-production is insufficient in relation to the domestic demand, making Senegal one of West Africa’s most import-dependent countries in rice. To combat this issue, the Senegalese government aim to reach national self-sufficiency in rice production, primari

Karlshamnsverket är ett kraftverk som ligger vid Östersjön i södra Sverige. På grund av placeringen vid kusten har denna viktiga infrastruktur redan tidigare varit utsatt för översvämningar i källaren. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att genomföra en första analys för att fastställa de bakomliggande orsakerna till översvämningarna och att föreslå lämpliga åtgärder för att öka kraftverkets motstKarlshamnsverket is a power plant located at the Baltic Sea in southern Sweden. Due to the coastal location this important infrastructure already experienced flooding in its basement in the past. The objective of this study is to conduct an initial analysis to determine the underlying reasons for the flooding and to provide suitable measures to increase the resilience of the power plant, also with

När städer växer och fler hårdgjorda ytor implementeras ökar ytavrinningen vilket leder till en högre belastning på ledningsnätet. På alla Sveriges avloppsnät finns bräddningspunkter där orenat spillvatten släpps ut när belastningen på ledningsnätet blir för stor. Bräddningar kan t.ex. orsaka försämrad badvattenkvalité. Examensarbetet fokuserar på ett avrinningsområde i stadsdelen Miatorp som är b

Syftet med studien är att belysa att fastighetsmäklares motivation i arbetet har olika inre och yttre bakomliggande faktorer. För att uppnå syftet har följande frågor besvarats: Vilka faktorer, utöver provisionsbaserad lön, bidrar till en fastighetsmäklares motivation på arbetsplatsen? Är dessa faktorer kopplade till extrinsisk motivation? För att besvara dessa frågor har en kvalitativ metod använ
