With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su

This bachelor thesis studies a specific recurring trend from the 1990’s, which in this case is exemplified as dungarees, or as more commonly used, overalls. To understand the essence of this trend and why it’s recurring, a semiotic analysis is applied to the study and to understand the qualitative values it houses, such as social practices and structures, as well as signs, codes and symbolism, wil

This project is about imagining new ways we live at home, and new objects to take place. The project is based on personal interests, short case studies, and observation on current human conditions. The major concept was developed with constant attention on the mobility of domestic furniture, and how this general concept shape shifts to manifest different ideologies of different backgrounds. In

This Master thesis is investigating how communities of practice can enhance knowledge sharing in a context of improving a harmonized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used in supply chain. A student from the faculty of production and materials engineering at Lund university (LTH) collaborated with the Global Trinity organization from Alfa Laval (Lund, Sweden) to answer the research que

In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. Normally stars within galaxies have low peculiar velocities but stars ejected with velocities o

The following study examines the nature of subjective well-being in a working context. The purpose of this research is to find out which dimensions are most central to well-being in the workplace. Thus, a questionnaire was used to gather information about the different dimensions (i.e., work engagement, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, personality, and well-being at the workplace). The statist

Purpose - This thesis examines MCS in Swedish companies. The purpose of the thesis is to assess formal and informal controls to understand how companies use them to effectively integrate a sustainability strategy in their organisation and implement CSR activities into practice. In this context the study addresses the research question: How do different leading Swedish companies, in terms of su

I samband med två konserttillfällen undersöks om högre musikutbildningar gör skillnad för individens lyssnande och ifall det påverkar hur vi lyssnar på och värderar olika typer av musik och genrer. Musikutbildningens påverkan på musiklyssnande undersöks. Målgrupperna på de två konserterna var medvetet olika. De två konserterna spelades dels för en publik som ej studerat musik och för en publik somIn connection with two concert occasions, I investigated whether higher music education makes a difference to the individual's listening and whether it affects how we listen to and value different types of music and genres. The effect a higher music education has on our ability to listen to music is the research topic. The target groups at the two concerts were deliberately different. They had

Forskningsfrågor: Vilken typ av lagerhållningsstrategi väljer företag att tillämpa under osäkerhet? Är just-in-time-modellen förlegad? Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur lagerhanteringen hos företagen har sett ut och hur osäkerheter i omvärlden påverkar företagens val av lagerhantering. Metod: Uppsatsen grundar sig på en kvalitativ undersökning med ett abduktivt synsätt där en inteResearch question: What inventory management strategy do companies implement during uncertainty? Is the just-in-time model outdated? Purpose: The study aims to explore how uncertainties in the external environment influences companies' inventory management practices. Methodology: This thesis employs an abductive quantitative research approach, utilizing an interview and questionnaire to s

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of information asymmetry displayed in the initial return, and post-IPO financing. Additionally, how sponsor certification influences IPOs and in the post-IPO financing as a means to reduce information asymmetry. Methodology: The study was conducted based on a quantitative research method, followed by a deductive approach, which in

In this project, I wish to take a glance at what WiFi routers can do in the future. The new solution could make the current WiFi routers have more physical meaning which can impact our real life while providing indispensable wifi signals. Besides offering WiFi signals, WiFi routers adopted with FTTR all-optical networking solutions can control and monitor all the IoT smart devices connected to the

This thesis presents a qualitative study, which investigates how active members of various climate movements in Sweden utilize civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and their relationship with the political and legal systems. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with activists from Sweden, Hungary and Denmark, as well as observations of two court hearings. The stu

Partikelfysikens Standardmodell har gett oss en förståelse för universums minsta byggstenar, elementarpartiklarna, och hur de interagerar med varandra. När dessa interaktioner ska beskrivas är övergångsamplituder ofta av stort intresse. Dessa kan förenklat sägas vara sannolikheten för att en grupp partiklar ska interagera på ett visst sätt, till exempel vid kollisioner i en partikelaccelerator somThe chirality-flow formalism has been proven to simplify the calculation of helicity amplitudes, both analytically and in a first numerical implementation developed as an extension of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. Expanding on this work, two new implementations have been developed. The first provides an alternative algorithm for the evaluation of diagrams, where helicity amplitudes are obtained by combining

Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera hur politiker beskriver Göteborgs problem med segregation på ett sätt som kan producera och reproducera maktstrukturer. Undersökningen har en socialkonstruktivistisk ansats och utför en tematisk innehållsanalys på artiklar skrivna av politiker om Göteborgs segregation. Det teoretiska ramverk som metoden utgår från är framingteori och kritisk vithetsteori.

Människor är beroende av ekosystemtjänster för vår existens och vårt uppehälle. Vad är då ekosystemtjänster? Jo, det är allt det naturen ger som skapar förutsättningar för, stödjer eller förbättrar i våra liv. Syre, mat och vatten är basala förutsättningar för att vi ska få leva, och kommer alla från ekosystem där det finns växter med fotosyntes, maskar som vänder jorden och grus och sand som filtEcosystem functions and services are vital for all humankind and our existence. Nevertheless, ecosystems are deteriorating due to human activities, while the influence over and partaking of their services is unequally distributed. A multifunctional landscape has the characteristics of supplying a broad range of ecosystem services, attracting stakeholders that will build diverse relationships to th

This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging

Objective: The overlap of normal and abnormal personality and personality disorders was found on facet and domain level, but only a few studies assessed the higher order joint structure. In this study, the Personality Inventory for the DSM-5 (PID-5-100 item form) and the IPIP-NEO-120 are assessed in their internal consistency, convergent and discriminant validity and their joint structure, modelle

The discourse on beauty has primarily been focused on the white gaze to prescribe its normative standards. The white gaze conceptualizes the way in which beauty is dwelled on within society: the foisting of Caucasian-looking beauty canons on black women, and the veneration of whiteness as superior. Black bodies are vanguards, either being desired or erased. In literature, the expression “white gaz
