Global warming is a global issue which needs to be targeted sooner rather than later. One source of greenhouse gases, especially methane, is landfills. An obstacle for reducing these emissions in Sweden is the lack of national recommendation regarding which method should be used to quantify methane emissions from landfills. In this study, a literature review has been conducted to summarize availab

Studien ämnade undersöka huruvida det finns någon korrelation mellan social dominansorientering och kreativitet. Efter en teoretisk genomgång av de, för studien, centrala psykologiska konstrukten introduceras de tre hypoteserna och frågeställningen; “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med kreativitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med psykologisk flexibilitet”, “Social dominans samvarieThe study aimed to investigate whether there exists a correlation between social dominance orientation and creativity. After a theoretical review of the psychological constructs central to the study, the three hypotheses and the scientific question are introduced; “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with creativity”, “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with psychologi

How civil society perceives climate change communication by outlets is key for sustainable development. Being predicted to get largely impacted due to climate change and having a great influence on future sustainability outcomes, young people are an important group to focus on in the field of perception and climate change communication. Therefore, this research aims to determine where young people

Risk attitudes influence a wide range of financial decisions in the household, such as investments, consumption, and savings. It is, therefore, crucial to understand risk attitudes and how they change throughout the life cycle, in order to determine and predict economic behavior. In this study, we investigate the impact of changes in family structure on individuals' financial risk attitudes by

I detta arbete jämförs det svenska diskrimineringsskyddet i arbetslivet med rättigheterna i FN:s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning CRPD. Särskilt behandlas bestämmelsen om bristande tillgänglighet. Syftet är att ge personer med funktionshinder ett effektivt medel till att uppnå lika rättigheter och möjligheter i samhället. I den svenska rättsordningen är funktionshindIn this paper the Swedish discrimination legislation in the working life will be compared to the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities CRPD.

This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact

Digitalisering är något som genomsyrar hela dagens samhälle. Fastighetsbranschen är trögrörlig när det kommer till digitalisering och investering i teknik. Bolag som AirBnB och WeWork har tagit sig in på olika fastighetsmarknader och skapat affärsmodeller som konkurrerar på kontors- och hotellmarknaden. Även om bolag i fastighetsbranschen uppfattar detta är det fortfarande en sektor med traditioneWords such as digitalization and PropTech are appearing in research and impacting organizations within the real estate industry and though out society. The real estate sector is known to be slow on investing and implementing technology. The Swedish real estate company Akademiska Hus AB that owns and operates, mainly campus related facilities, have started a project on creating digital twins of par

Detecting anomalies in loT sensor devices for humidity is crucial for the maintenance and safety of households and buildings. An Auto-Encoder (AE) can detect anomalies in sensor data. However, the reality is that most sensor data is unlabelled, while it is recommended to use labelled data when training the model for anomaly detection with AE. Therefore together with Sensative AB we developed a Lon

This work is aimed at improving the discrimination of protons and α particles in digitised signals from CsI(Tl) scintillators. This has been achieved using pulse-shape discrimination, wherein the shape of the pulses is used to learn which particle is detected. Two primary methods have been implemented and compared, namely, the charge-comparison method where the ratio between the integrals of two d

Orkanen i Malmö är en universitetsbyggnad som består av fem tillgängliga våningsplan och ett källarplan. Det finns även våning sex och sju, de är dock inte är tillgängliga för studenter eller allmänheten.

Limited to the safety of occupants in the building, the report does not take economic or structural damage into account. To begin with, the building was investigated during a guided tour where photographs wer

This paper deals with Immanuel Kant’s views on absolutism in relation to lying. In the essay Über ein vermeintes Recht aus Menschenliebe zu lügen (1797), Kant expressed the view that a person was never allowed to lie, not even to a murderer if the purpose was to save an innocent person’s life. It did not matter that the intentions were good, lying was always forbidden because he claimed it harmed
