Move-to-play is a musical instrument for persons with both cognitive and physical impairments, who would have trouble playing traditional instruments. Everyone, no matter their abilities, are given the chance to play and control music by moving their own body. This project is part of the MISK project, which is a collaboration between Certec, Furuboda folkhögskola and Eldorado resurscenter. To make
Counterurbanization has become a phenomenon in recent decades. Despite, more people choose to live in big cities. Urban crisis-related population disparities pose serious societal problems. Traditionalists assume people follow the perceived greater employment opportunities in urban areas to pursue wealth and monetary gain. However, while some decide to live in cities, others prefer non-urban areas
The subject of this thesis is based on a qualitative research study to examine the opportunities and challenges of the three work arrangements, physical in-office work, hybrid work, and remote work, as perceived by employees. Additionally, the perceived impact of those work arrangements on work-life interdependency is explored. As researchers, we have little prior knowledge about how employees per
This project leverages the core concepts of differentiable rendering to find alternative representation of images using geometric primitives rendered with Signed Distance Functions. By utilising gradient-descent-based methods it is possible to find optimal parameters of rendered primitives to create high-quality reconstruction. Moreover, this research serves as a foundation for extending the princ
The EU Taxonomy provides a clear set of criteria for identifying sustainable economic activities and facilitating investment flows in alignment with sustainable practices. Although dynamic, the Taxonomy emphasizes the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity conservation, making it crucial for companies, policymakers, and capital markets.

The importance of sustainable development has been firmly acknowledged worldwide. This is no less apparent than in the context of tourism, which despite its promise as a driver of development in low-income countries has produced a number of negative externalities for local communities, ecologies, and the environment at large. Popular conceptions of sustainable tourism like that from the United Nat
Denna rapport undersöker möjligheten till implementering av en storskalig energilagringslösning i Malmö och dess effekt på elbalansen. Arbetet utgår från Texel Energy Storage AB:s termokemiska batterilösning som lagrar energi i form av värme, vilken sedan utvinns som elektrisk energi genom en Stirlingmotor. Texel planerar att implementera en 400 MW-lösning i Malmö år 2027 - introducerad i tre faseThis report investigates the possibility for an implementation of a large-scale grid storage solution in Malmö and its effect on the electricity balance. The work is centred around Texel Energy Storage AB’s thermochemical battery solution that stores energy as heat, which is converted to electricity through a Stirling engine. Texel plans to introduce a 400 MW storage solution in Malmö in 2027 – in
Given the calls to examine accelerators across different regions and contexts, we ask the research question: How do accelerators adapt to institutional, social, and spatial constraints of emerging and established ecosystems? With this research question, we conduct qualitative research to understand how two different accelerators, one located in Skåne, Sweden and another located in Dhaka, Banglades
I denna studie har fem manliga gymnasiestudenter intervjuats med syfte att skapa en bättre förståelse för hur unga människor väljer huvudinstrument. Ambitionen var att synliggöra faktorer som har varit inflytelserika i deras val av huvudinstrument för att vi lärare ska kunna arbeta aktivt med att vidga unga människors intresse för musik. Datainsamlingen skedde genom enskilda semistrukturerade inteIn this study, five sixth-form college students were interviewed in order to create a better understanding of how young people choose their main instrument. The aim was to make visible the factors which were influential in the informants’ choice of instrument in order for teachers to be able to actively work with broadening young people’s perspective on music. The collection of data was done throu

Against a backdrop of economic stagnation and declining birth rate, fatherhood in Japan has drawn increasing attention over the past three decades from the state, the media, and the general public. Of particular interest is the emergence of a new kind of fathering known as ikumen, which centres active involvement in childcare. Using LaRossa’s (1988) model of the “asynchrony” of change in the cultu
This thesis investigates the strategic use of narratives in Chinese Buddhist public diplomacy to support the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in Thailand. This study examines the different levels of narrative formation, including system, identity, and issue narratives, to provide a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms that drive communication, persuasion, and influence in international affa
This thesis examines the effects of early childhood development centers (ECDC) on unpaid care work (UCW) and women's economic empowerment in Rwanda. Thanks to the collaboration of ActionAid Rwanda (AAR), data from a sample of women in Nyanza district was collected and analyzed to gain insights into UCW dynamics and the role of ECDCs in women's lives. The findings indicate that ECDCs have s

Linjär infrastruktur såsom kraftledningar har genom ett markanspråk en negativ inverkan på organismer och på miljön, både under konstruktion och i drift. Parallellt med ett ökat tryck på den biologiska mångfalden och kvaliteten på våra ekosystem finns ett ökat energibehov som konsekvent kräver vidare utbyggnad av elsystemet. Samtidigt har kraftledningsgatorna en potential att utgöra habitat och spLinear transportation infrastructure such as powerlines generate documented adverse effects on biodiversity. However, the potential of powerline corridors to constitute habitats, a dispersal corridor, or as potential to create value for biodiversity remains somewhat controversial. This case study investigates what the drivers and challenges are to create value for biodiversity combined with the p
This paper explores the career development of non-male workers in the video game industry in a male-dominated context. It examines their motivation, perception of success, goals, and values. The aim was to contribute to the discourse on the experience of minorities in a majority-dominated work context and how this affects their career development. This study followed two research strategies, groun
Previous research on Donna Tartt’s debut novel The Secret History in regards to its intertextual relevance has helped in understanding the traditional campus novel, as well as redefined the classical murder mystery. However, little research has been made on its characters and its portrayal of the human experience. Additionally, plenty of research has been made into Nietzsche’s philosophical work T
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is a crucial aspect to product development. Companies need to make sure their products live up to the standards that exists around the world. One way of reducing electromagnetic emissions is to shield the product, using some conducting material, for instance, copper. An issue arises, though, when transparency is needed, like it is for cameras. At Axis Communicat
