I en undersökning från 2012 som publicerats av Statskontoret uppgavs det att Sveriges markanvisningssystem hade fått kritik för att vara för oförutsebart och det ifrågasattes om dåvarande system gynnade konkurrens och likabehandling av byggherrar. För att öka transparens och konkurrens samt för att hitta ett verktyg som kan utgöra ett bra stöd för kommunerna, infördes 1 januari 2015 lag (2014:899)This master thesis evaluates the outcome of the Law (2014:899) on guidelines for municipal land use that were adopted in 2015. According to this, all the municipalities who work with the land allocation processes, must adopt guidelines for this process. The law does not regulate in detail and it is therefore open for interpretations. The reason to adopt the law was to increase transparency, predic

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om körsång kan användas som ett verktyg för att motverka psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar genom elevhälsan. Vidare undersöktes även huruvida körpedagoger ser fördelar med att beakta körsångens hälsoeffekter i sin egen undervisning, och hur möjligheten för att använda körsång inom elevhälsan i dagens gymnasieskola ser ut. För att genomföra studien gjordes tre kThe purpose of this study is to investigate if choir singing can be used as a tool to prohibit mental illness or bad mental health amongst youths through student health services. The study also investigates if choir teachers can see benefits of teaching choir with choir singings health effects in mind, and what the possibility is to use choir singing as a tool in today’s high schools (Swedish gymn

Products and systems form the bridge between production and consumption, helping to shape our society and lifestyles. Biomimicry uses design principles based on those seen in nature, aiming to emulate the natural sustainability seen from the 3.8 billion years of life on earth. However, there is no current measure to determine how sustainable applications of biomimicry actually are. The aim of this

Indonesia, as per their stance on the Paris Agreement and social development goals (SDG), has been on a winding journey to meet their renewable energy targets. In providing the national electricity, the state electricity company (PLN) is still deriving more than 70% of its energy sources from coal and oil As per 2018, only up to 8% of on-grid power is generated from renewable energy sources, and t

This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale

After almost two years living in Malmö, I discovered Nyhamnen by reading about the municipality plans for the area in a local newspaper. The mere realization that I was not aware of such a large area, only five minutes walking from the central station was both surprising and challenging. Since then, the aim of this thesis has been to develop an urban proposal that even though it is an academic exe

I takt med att agila metoder utvecklats har flertalet agila ramverk utformats. I och med detta har även ledarskapet genomgått en utveckling. Utvecklingen av ledarskapet har lett till mer engagerade och självorganiserade team. Ett av de agila ramverken är SCRUM. I ramverket har scrum mastern i uppgift att skapa ett meningsfullt ledarskap genom att bland annat visa empati, bygga gemenskap och låta t

In this thesis, we consider a deep learning approach to predict material properties. Primarily we study artificial neural networks (ANN), which predict the energy distance to the convex hull (measure of stability) of perovskites. Further, we explore if the networks can be generalised to predict band gaps and unit cell volume. We also demonstrate total energy calculations using density functional t

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att titta på hur ett företag med sina risker spridda över olika branscher arbetar med att förstärka sin verksamhet i förhållande till framfarten av en global kris, i detta fall Covid-19.

As the purpose of this study, we have chosen to relate to the company's perceived strengths in relation to crisis management and how this crisis management can help maintain

This Master thesis investigated the perceived congruence between the gender of male and female football teams and the gender of the companies that are engaging in the sponsoring of these football teams. By applying the theory of brand gender, each sponsoring company has been classified in the feminine/masculine/androgynous gender domain, thereby allowing for the comparison between the gender of th

The aim of this thesis is to investigate if the machine learning based classification procedure, Random Forest, provides superior prediction performance compared to a logistic regression model fitted using the LASSO framework, when predicting outcomes in corporate takeover situations. This is done in the context of merger arbitrage, an event-driven investment strategy. The classification models ar

This paper examines the potential effects of Donald Trump’s Twitter activity on the stock market. This is investigated with different methods starting out with limiting Trump’s tweets into tweets including four potentially impactful keywords as well as classifying the tweets into different senti-ments. To further test the theory of the tweets possible effect on the market an event study was constr

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur bygg- och fastighetsbranschen arbetar med problematiken kring värmeböljor och höga inomhustemperaturer i bostäder. Målsättningen är att få förståelse för problematiken, utreda och bidra med kunskap inom ämnet för bostäder i befintligt bestånd respektive nyproduktion. Inledningsvis genomfördes en litteraturstudie vilken var ämnad att skapa en omfattande och The purpose of the study is to investigate how the construction and real estate industry work with the problems concerning heat waves and high indoor temperatures in housing. The objective is to obtain an understanding, to investigate and to contribute with knowledge of the problem for existing housing and for future housing. Initially, a literature study was conducted which was intended to creat

Under the growing influence of dominant discourses such as ecological modernisation and neo- liberalisation, proposed alternative conservation approaches focus more and more on efficiency. In the realm of biodiversity conservation, synthetic biology - the application of engineering to facilitate and accelerate the design or modification of genetic materials in living organisms – has emerged as an

The Finno-Swedish language has been an official language in Finland since 1919. Despite this, the continuing status of Finno-Swedish has in become a subject for discussion among Finnish politicians in recent years. The present thesis analyses the language politics of two Finnish parties, namely Blue Reform (a right-wing party) and the Swedish People’s Party (a social liberal party), a year before

This paper explores the effect of firm characteristics in terms of licensing foreign technology for firms located in the eastern region of China. Existing studies apply general licensing theory to what might be a factor of regional and industry specific preferences. This paper deploys several probit models based on data gathered by the World Bank to empirically find evidence to support firm attrib

Urban establishment from scratch based on a smart city vision has been mainstreamed as a strategy to achieve urban sustainability goals. However, the smart city model itself has been criticized because of how the techno-centric solutions it uses could potentially lead to economic and social inequality. Urban Political Ecology (UPE) focuses on how the urban production process involve commodificatio

The progression of fire safety research has contributed to improving the guiding principles of standardised building design. Research making use of pure materials, once common in homes and workplaces, are less relevant as such materials are no longer as prevalent. It is often newer, composite materials that are featured more prominently in building contents. The trend towards the evolution of commIt is widely accepted that by lowering the oxygen concentration below that of the typical ambient conditions (21% Oxygen) fuels are less likely to ignite and will burn slower. ORS (Oxygen Reduction Systems) make use of this to protect their contents. The oxygen concentration in these systems is done by introducing a flow rate containing a higher percentage of nitrogen into the protected area. The
