As cities increasingly implement climate change adaptation (CCA) projects, it is important to assess the potential long-term consequences of urban climate adaptation on socio-economic inequalities. As CCA is still in its infancy, observing long-term impact can be challenging. In this context, the historical study of past flood risk management (FRM) measures provides a useful proxy. This study uses

Denna exjobbsrapport beskriver en studie av alternativa lösningar i konstruktionsprinciper gällande infästning av ubåtsutrustning på mekanisk struktur. Den är gjord i samarbete med SAAB Kockums AB. Studien efterfrågades för att förenkla infästningen av utrustning och minska ledtiderna i designfasen såväl som tillverkning/infästningsfasen. En modern stridsubåt består av en betydande mängd svetsade

Järnvägsnätet i Sverige är över 15000 km långt. Järnvägsnätverket har en viktig roll i transporten av personer och gods i landet. Det är viktigt att övervaka och underhålla detta stora nätverk för att säkerställa god funktion och säkerhet. De senaste årtionden har utvecklingen av interferometriska syntetiska aperturradar (InSAR) och tidsserie tekniker lett till att forskare, geotekniker och ingenjThere is over 15,000 km of track in the Swedish railroad network. This network is vital for the transport of people and goods across the country. It is important that this network is monitored and maintained to ensure good function and safety. In recent decades the development of Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) and Time Series techniques has allowed researchers, geotechnicians and

How publicly traded companies perform with regards to environmental sustainability is receiving increasing attention both by investors and in society in general. Annually released sustainability reports are an important tool for public companies to disclose information relating to their environmental performance. Frequently released as an integrated part of the annual financial report, sustainabil

The Capability Approach (CA) has been increasingly gaining popularity amongst scholars and policy-makers, offering an alternative to the so far predominant position of the GDP as the primary measure of human development. The CA is a normative framework which can be used as a basis to conceptualize and evaluate socio-economic and political phenomena such as inequality and human well-being. One of t

Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the

This thesis demonstrates how neoliberal urbanism has unrolled in the context of the Danish non-profit housing sector, using the case of Copenhagen neighbourhood Tingbjerg as a case study. Arguing that this process has significantly altered the relations of power within the neighbourhood, it further investigates the mode of resistance emerging locally as a response. Danish non-profit housing has be

Bakgrund och problemformulering: Digitaliseringen har förändrat förutsättningarna för alla detaljhandlare och då även för sporthandlarna. Detta påverkar arbetarnas roll i den fysiska butiken samt vad som krävs av företaget för att fortfarande hålla sig konkurrenskraftiga. Det finns inte fördjupade studier på sportbutiker och avsaknaden finns i hur företagen och framförallt personalen arbetar med k

Making choices can be hard, even more so if they are of a moral nature. Since the initial phrasing, utilitarianism has claimed that the morally correct choice is that which maximises utility. This phrasing might seem unproblematic for some. However, I have found there to be a certain problem with such a phrasing. This problem is mainly with “hard cases”, i.e., cases where the utilitarian cannot, w

Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna i världen idag och mycket forskning läggs på den. Det görs ständiga framsteg och nya tekniker utvecklas som kan hjälpa oss att upptäcka och bekämpa cancer. Något som har fått mycket uppmärksamhet är användningen av nanopartiklar för dessa ändamål. Nanopartiklar kan beskrivas som väldigt små partiklar som kan bestå av olika ämnen och finns i allt från matNanoparticles are widely used in biotechnology, yet their toxicity is still being investigated. Determining the toxicity of nanoparticles in vitro and how to reduce it, can facilitate their implementation in vivo. Magnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an emerging technique where magnetic nanoparticles are used as contrast agents in combination with a magnetic field to visualise tissue. The magnetic

There is currently a need in Spain for monitoring the effects of the environmental flows. The use of eco-hydrological relationships to design both environmental flows regimes and the monitoring programs that track their effects on riverine ecosystems is highly recommended. Fishes are the biological element more sensitive to flow regime changes, thus the relationship between fishes and flow dynamic

This study explores the boundary of due diligence as state obligations in dealing with domestic violence mainly based on the formulation and application of the Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence (the Istanbul Convention). It compares Istanbul convention which exclusively aims at protecting female victims against all forms of violen

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a scientific interest in how certain measures of disease control, such as lockdowns, affects different individuals and different communities. Through a queer-phenomenological approach, the purpose of the study is to offer queer insights of lockdown as a measure of disease control by exploring how queer people in London orientate and experienc

This essay explores the anti-gender ideology movement in the case of Poland’s sex education bill aiming to prohibit comprehensive sexuality education for minors. This is done with the catholic conservative legal organisation and foundation Ordo Iuris as research subject who are advocates for the bill on restrictive sexuality education and are making efforts to influence the politics on both nation

This thesis explores the intersections between social science and filmmaking practice through engaging with community filmmaking practice in Sweden. The main area of interest is to explore how feminist theory and methodology in social science can inform discussions in documentary filmmaking practice, both aiming to transform the oppressive narratives and empower voices from marginalized and minori

I dagens livliga skogsdebatt möts olika åskådningar och synsätt på skogen. Också under antiken både brukades och skyddades skogar. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka antika perspektiv på skogen, genom att analysera synsätt på skogen i Vergilius Georgica. Det är ett didaktiskt diktverk som beskriver människans bruk av naturen. Relevanta passager togs fram ur källtexterna genom textsökningar. Dessa k

This paper analyzes the relationship between vocational training and subsequent employment. This is done through a review of the published literature on the subject. Various studies are reviewed in order to present a picture of what the current understanding is of the effects vocational training has on employment. The results indicate that there is evidence to suggest an easier transition from sch

In Denmark, the emergence of identity politics in public debates is increasing. Amongst opposers of identity politics, a concept has been constructed to describe identity political agendas, namely Krænkelseskultur. By analysing the discursive construction of the so-called “Krænkelseskultur” this study aims to examine how discourses on identity politics in Danish Print Media (re)produces social pow

The Turkish tense-aspect-modality system and its complexity has been the topic of many previous studies (Csato, 2000; Johanson, 2016; Slobin & Aksu, 1982) and there are many arguments on whether some of the tense-aspect-modality markers should be categorized as such in the first place, as well as what they express when used in combination with different grammatical markers. This thesis focuses
