The thesis aims to investigate how a transformation, possible extension, and change of use of an historical building can strengthen the connection to the site’s history and contribute a richer variation and new qualities to a development area. This is done by making a design proposal for a current transformation project called Magasin 405. Magasin 405 is a port warehouse in Oceanhamnen at the cent
The western culture has long been on the world stage in the design, business, and cultural activities while the beautiful Chinese historical culture has been forgotten. Culture communication and acculturation improved design are fascinating fields. Combining design and business thinking is also an area that is worth to be researched. There are not many projects that have studied “cross-cultural” d
Vårdnadsrelaterade tvister har ökat markant de senaste åren. För varje tvist finns det minst ett barn som påverkas, men barn saknar i svensk rätt både talerätt och processbehörighet i dessa mål. Det finns emellertid vissa rättigheter som ska tillförsäkra att barnets intressen tillgodoses i processen; barnets bästa och barnets rätt att komma till tals. Barn har rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och at
This paper looks into the practices of climate change adaptation and stormwater management in Malmö. The study investigates current work with climate change adaptation in Malmö and looks into the project Ekostaden Augustenborg (Eco-City Augustenborg), a project in one Malmö’s urban districts carried out in the late 1990s. The project included the construction of an extensive new stormwater managem
Underlaget för denna undersökning är den intensiva debatt som blommade ut i bland annat svensk media efter att ett hundratal kvinnor blivit sexuellt antastade under nyårsfirandet i Köln natten mellan 2015-2016. Debatten kretsade i stora drag kring huruvida övergreppen bör förstås som ett kulturellt utspel, då det framgick att gärningsmännen alla hade ursprung i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika, eller h
The purpose of the study was to describe the experiences of individuals who had undergone obesity surgery and subsequent dramatic weight loss. Specific attention was given to the individuals’ changing body image and the support they had received during their transition process. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five people who had undergone an obesity surgery, and subsequently lost at
Low precipitation events are difficult to predict due to the many processes taking part in formation of precipitation. An additional challenge is that many of the processes act on a smaller scale than what weather models can resolve. The aerosol impact on the state of the atmosphere is an example of one of these processes. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of sea salt aerosols on
This master thesis has evaluated the possible use of a spray dryer to produce powders suitable for use as inhalants and whether the addition of liposomes to the solution to be spray dried would improve the properties of the powder. The powders created consisted of Lysozyme as model drug, Lactose as filler and stabilizer, and different types of phospholipids to create liposomes using an ethanol inj
Research concerning the challenge of rising sea levels often leave out the importance of landscape and its history. When discussing present and future adaptations to local climate changes, e.g. sea level rise, an understanding of the process that shaped the area that exist today is an important aspect. Here Falsterbonäset is chosen as a case study focussing on three actors the regional planning of
This paper argues that industrialized meat and dairy production create substantial environmental costs that are currently not being reflected by the price paid by consumers. One way of addressing this could be by taxing those products proportional to the environmental damage they cause based on the principle that the polluter should pay. The question is if such a tax could be legally motivated und
Many rural municipalities in Sweden are faced with challenges related to declining population. As people leave the municipality where they grew up in order to pursue university degrees, job opportunities or for other reasons, and a majority might leave for good. However, later in life some of these people return. The aim of this study is to investigate why internal return migrants return to rural
Ett av de främsta målen med Europeiska Unionen är att upprätta en marknad utan inre gränser. På denna marknad garanteras fri rörlighet för bl.a. varor. I EU har medlemsstaterna olika skattesatser på alkohol- och tobaksvaror, vilket skapar ett incitament att utnyttja reglerna om fri rörlighet. Då Sverige har jämförelsevis höga skatter införskaffas alkohol och tobak i länder med lägre skattesatser fOne of the core objectives of the European Union is to establish a single market without internal frontiers. In this market, the free movement of goods, inter alia, is guaranteed. The differences among the EU member states’ excise duty rates on alcohol and tobacco products create incentives to take advantage of the rules ensuring the free circulation. As Sweden has relatively high taxes, alcohol a
Greenland is a former colony of Denmark and today remains part of the Danish Realm. The Greenlandic Reconciliation Commission, which began working in 2014, represents an effort by Greenland to come to terms with its recent history while its government simultaneously pursues the economic growth needed for greater independence from Denmark. The existence of this commission and the debate that has en
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att åskådliggöra olika perspektiv på hur människor som verkar inom hjälporganisationer ser på engagemang, moral, ansvar och svårigheter kopplat till fattigdom och fattigdomsbekämpning. Detta utforskas från ett moralfilosofiskt perspektiv genom en intervjuundersökning med personer från Rädda Barnen, Röda Korset och Kompis Sverige. Resultaten från intervjuundersökning
This study examines how Swedish media portrays female terrorists originating from North Caucasus. The empirical material consists of 18 articles from four Swedish newspapers, Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter, Expressen and Svenska Dagbladet. The material is scrutinized from a gender perspective to discover what role gender and gender roles have in the medial portrayal of female terrorists. Since previo
The surface mass balance determines the growth or decay of an ice sheet, by taking the difference between accumulation and ablation. In this thesis snow and ice ablation is related to 2m-temperature through the positive degree day method. The positive degree day method takes into account the ablation rate of snow and ice and the number of measurements with temperature above freezing level in order
A processing method is developed to characterize contacts for vertical nanowire structures. The process is based around optical lithography and an organic spacer material in order to facilitate an easily repeatable processing flow. Substrates with MOVPE grown GaSb nanowires are processed into sets of resistor devices. Variation in resistance of the devices is achieved by adding contacts at differen
The Multi-Terawatt laser at the LLC (Lund Laser Centre) is used to accelerate particles using laser wakefield acceleration. Laser wakefield acceleration is a particle acceleration method that utilizes intense electric fields in plasma created by high intensity laser pulses when passing through gas. A gas nozzle is used to introduce gas in the beamline to produce the plasma needed and the supersoni
This report describes the development of a manufacturing process for creating custom-made prosthetic arm sockets using 3D scanning and 3D printing. The process is intended to function as a guide for a prosthetist without requiring an extensive experience in CAD. The project aims to offer a viable alternative to the often time consuming and manual labour-intensive conventional manufacturing method,
In an effort to improve our understanding of the etiology and treatment of disorders involving symptoms of anxiety and depression, researchers have set out to identify psychological traits that may leave an individual vulnerable to experiencing intense negative emotional reactions. Included among these vulnerabilities are a person’s ability to tolerate negative emotional states (Distress Tolerance
