This study examines the change of Croatia’s imports and exports of goods with EU member states during the time period of 2000-2018. This includes when it signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union and after it became an EU member. This is done to give insight into what future member states and current EU candidate countries could potentially expect from their access

During the 17th and early 18th century Antonio Stradivari built around 900 violins, that still today are considered some of the best instruments ever created. The theories of how it was possible for a luthier active 300 years ago to create instruments of this quality are many, including unique wood properties and secret building techniques. The sound of a violin is produced by vibrations from the

This study explores the discourse on non-monogamy in a Swedish heterosexual context. Analysing how people speak about opening up monogamous relationships, the aim of this study is to investigate why monogamous relationships are conceived as problematic in the 21st century. By mapping out some underlying preconceptions concerning gender and concepts such as emancipation the study also aims to under

High energy particle collisions often produce large numbers of partons in the final state, which are clustered together in collimated sprays called jets. A recent paper [1] introduces the concept of jet entropy, which is an observable that quantifies the entanglement between the resolved and unresolved parts of a jet. We derive an analytic expression for the entropy of a gluon jet and compare the

När en utredare observerar en olycksplats är bevisen de kan hitta viktiga. Bevisen är det som gör att de kan återskapa hur olyckan hände och förstå vad som hände. Men om de inte förstår bevisen, eller använder dom för att återskapa olycksplatsen på fel sätt, kan svaret de får vara fel. Inom partikelfysik kolliderar vi atomkärnor med extrema energier för att se vilka hemligheter universum har. För The purpose of this thesis was to implement an alternative method to calculate the overlap function, which describe to what extent two protons overlap with each other spatially, into PYTHIA8 in order to determine how it affected the average number of multiparton interactions. The new overlap function is based on an explicit impact parameter picture, whereas PYTHIA8s overlap function uses an implic

Purpose: By studying different sets of data divided by type of economic political context, this thesis investigates if the usage of accounts differs between countries. In more specific, the purpose of this thesis is to investigate if the use of accounts in the CEO letters of Swedish-, UK- and German-based companies differ as a result of having businesses in different political economies. Theoreti

In 2015 Jonatan Bohr Brask et al. showed that steady-state entanglement could be generated in two interacting qubits incoherently coupled to thermal baths of different temperatures [1]. This thesis is an attempt to re-evaluate their findings with the hope that a slightly different approach and system can help further our understanding of this not yet well understood phenomena.

Abstract Författare: Emma Gustafsson & Pernilla Wahlberg Titel: “Du är väl stor och stark, hon är så liten” Kandidatuppsats: SOCK04, 15 hp Handledare: Sophia Yakhlef Sociologiska institutionen, vårterminen 2020 Denna studie syftar till att bidra med ett perspektiv till forskningen om manliga brottsoffer, och specifikt gällande våldsutsatta män som söker skydd från våld. Studien syftar till at

Thesis purpose: The aim of this study is to identify enablers and constraints for consumers to adopt food waste reduction apps. Consequently, it contributes to the field of innovation diffusion and, importantly, consumer adoption of technological innovations. Methodology: This exploratory study uses qualitative methods to investigate consumer values, expectations and experiences as the main unit

Fitnesskulturen växte fram i USA och blomstrade under 1970-talet men har sedan dess spridit sig över hela världen. Idag hålls tävlingar och evenemang inom fitness i Sverige och fitnessbranschen växer sig större. Användningen av dopingpreparat förekommer i alla sporter och även inom fitnessbranschen. Den tidigare forskningen visar på studier som tar upp dopingpreparat som problem men i kontexten fi

Följande studie syftade till att undersöka attityder till AI-baserad rekrytering samt finna skillnader mellan personlighetsfaktorer och prestationsbaserad självkänsla i relation till tillit till AI-baserad rekrytering. Frågeställningen som studien byggde på var följande: Finns det en skillnad i tillit till AI-baserad rekrytering kopplad till en specifik personlighetsfaktor? Studien genomfördes med

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att identifiera och undersöka om, hur och varför sex av Sveriges största bostadshyresbolag arbetar med relationsmarknadsföring. Studien ämnar även undersöka om en relation finns mellan hyresgästerna och bostadshyresbolagen till följd av deras arbete med relationsmarknadsföringen. Metod: En dokumentstudie har genomförts, där sex fastighetsbolags senaste fem publicerade års

A common belief is that left-wing parties tend to use their influence to expand the public sector by increasing taxes – but is this belief supported by data? This study aims to find the causal effect of having left-wing majority and left-wing rule on a set of economic and policy outcomes by using panel data of Swedish local governments between 1995 and 2018. A regression discontinuity design is ap

We live in a world built on consumerist values and a spatial rationale of capital accumulation. This modern society has led to architecture thriving through super consumption and super production ultimately leading to the generic. Cities and spaces that were usually rich in variation and texture have now become an architectural melting pot. Architecture has become smooth, simplified and reduced to

The recovery of ‘waste heat’ from industrial and urban processes could meet a significant share of heating demands in urban and semi-urban areas. Replacing conventional heat sources in district heating (DH) systems with recovered heat could decrease primary energy inputs in a sector that globally relies to 90% on fossil fuels. Yet, despite the environmental, social, and economic benefits of waste

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera hur könsnormer i samhället får reella konsekvenser för manliga brottsoffer och huruvida detta ligger i linje med teorier om offer och maskulinitet. Två redan utförda intervjuer har analyserats och två intervjuer har genomförts som en del av denna studie, där fokus för analys har legat på manliga offers berättelser om deras upplevelser och hur deras

Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati
