Saftig, billig och förutsägbar ... eller? En undersökning av den digitala erotikutgivningen 2018

Den digitala utgivningen ökar och streamingtjänsterna stod under 2018 för hela bokbranschens uppsving i Sverige. Samtidigt finns det ett ökat intresse för erotik och de digitala volymerna ökar, i synnerhet de som finns tillgängliga via Storytel och andra streamingtjänster. De digitala formaten, kanalerna och erotiken tycks trivas tillsammans som handen i handsken. Med detta som utgångspunkt är syf

Arrangement of space inside Ölandic ringforts. A comparative study of the spatial division within the ringforts Eketorp, Sandby, and Ismantorp

In the Iron Age AD, ringforts were constructed on the Swedish island Öland. Most of them contained a settlement inside. The remains of 15 of these ringforts are still preserved in the landscape. This thesis gives a general overview of the known and the possible Ölandic ringforts and their historical and constructional context, before analysing and comparing the settlements inside the ringforts Eke

Analyzing GHG Emissions Reduction Effects and Potentials of Fossil Fuels Subsidies Reform Policy in Iran

Fossil fuels subsidies are intervention policies by governments to keep energy prices lower than the market price which leads to an increase in energy consumptions and GHG emissions. Iran provides the largest amount of fossil fuels consumption subsidies in the world, but it implemented the Targeted Subsidies Act to reform its subsidies and increase energy carriers’ end-user prices. This thesis inv

Backpacker Tourism and Local Community Development: An Analysis of Hostels as Drivers of Poverty Reduction in Sri Lanka

This thesis is an attempt to understand if hostels, being an essential component of the infrastructural support for backpacker tourism have been instrumental in lifting up local communities in light of socio-economic development.

Att utnyttja det uttalade och locka fram det outtalade

Att skapa ett hem innebär inte bara faktorn att bygga ett hus med fyra väggar och tak. Det innefattar att skapa en trygg punkt där människor ska kunna trivas. Det innebär att det finns en rad olika krav och behov som behöver motsvara kundens önskemål för att skapa värde. Inte minst eftersom det är en stor och dyr process som vanligtvis bara sker en eller ett fåtal gånger i livet. Denna studie inne

Developing microscopy methods for evaluating bio-processed Brewers Spent Grain (BSG)

Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along

Normalizing sustainable consumption: How marketing is used to fight food waste. A case study with Too Good To Go, the movement that fights food waste across Europe.

Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they

Dynamic Design of Bridges on High-Speed Railway Lines

Sedan myndigheterna fastställt planerna på en höghastighetskorridor som ska knyta samman Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö, har intresset f¨or höghastighetståg ökat hos såväl allmänhet som forskare. Hastighetsbegränsningen på banan är ännu inte satt, men den kommer vara inom intervallet 250-320 km/h. Eftersom det är svårare att garantera trafiksäkerhet och passagerarkomfort vid dessa högre hastigheterIn recent years, high-speed railway has been on the upswing in the public debate, as Swedish authorities have affirmed the plans of a high-speed corridor connecting Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malm¨o. The track speed limit is not fully determined, but will be in the range of 250-320 km/h. At these higher speed levels, it is harder to ensure traffic safety and passenger comfort, and dynamic analyses

Vem är polisen nära? Om svensk närpolis och det nya polishuset i Rosengård, Malmö

A discourse analysis is performed on police statements in newspaper articles concerning the spatial location of the new police station in Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden. The study uses Waquant's concept of territorial stigmatization and notions of reassurance- and reactive policing which has been made spatially fixed to the area of Rosengård. Reassurance policing, a Swedish iteration of "commun

A greener peace: Ensuring environmental sustainability in post-conflict Colombia

Despite its small size Colombia hosts 10% of the planet’s biodiversity, in the over 53% of its territory which is covered by different types of tropical and Andean forests. However, decades of war have had devastating effects on the country’s environment, which is threatened with deforestation for the clearing for agriculture areas, mostly for illegal crops; as well as on its population, which has

Making urban stormwater management more sustainable. A case study of Tallinn, Estonia

The concept of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach to flood risk mitigation and urban landscape planning. Many European cities are considering integrating SuDS features to their stormwater management practices. More frequent weather events and water quality issues have emerged among the main drivers to advance the discussion on innovative way

Memory Efficient Semantic Segmentation for Embedded Systems

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars. This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which wi

Study of Dark Matter Models in Astrophysics and Particle Physics

From astrophysical and cosmological observations, it is known that most of the matter in the Universe is dark. This matter could be explainable by new particles, not included in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This work assumes that there exists an interaction between dark matter and Standard Model particles, and investigates if the present relic density of dark matter in the Universe coul

Identifiering av okända avloppsströmmar - en studie i Perstorp industripark

Målet med arbetet har varit att ta fram en metodik för hur industriparker ska arbeta med tillskottsvatten och okända avloppsströmmar. Resultatet av arbetet har blivit ett förslag på en metodik för att identifiera okända strömmar av avloppsvatten och tillskottsvatten i ett avloppsledningssystem för spillvatten inom en industripark. Metoden är framtagen genom en litteraturstudie och från erfarenheteMany water managers manage to reduce the amount of Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) that is added to the sewer system. The reason for this is to reduce the number of basement flooding and overflows. This is not the case in Perstorp industrial park. The wastewater treatment plant in the industrial park has a permit on how much water the wastewater treatment plant is allowed to release into the recipient,

Cashew: the golden fruit? A macro analysis on the cashew monoculture in Guinea-Bissau and the barriers to promote agricultural diversification from a policy implementation perspective
