There are no high-rises, and the form of life returns to the previously slow pace life which is full of human kindness. Canals appear everywhere and form a drainage system which can help purify the water before it goes into Dianchi Lake. It is a self-sufficient life mo

In this study, I measure and analyze discriminatory behavior against same sex couples through a field experiment in the Portuguese housing rental market. This is the first attempt at conducting a correspondence field experiment testing for discrimi

I investigate how the intensity of the oil industry affects the synchronicity of large capitalized oil and gas companies in the western world. I find that despite of the high level of information available to investors of large capitalized oil and gas companies stocks of oil and gas companies move synchronous with the market when it falls, but not synchronous when it rises. I suggest also that pas

Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att undersöka hur framkomligheten för olika trafikslag påverkas av att införa cykelöverfarter i tre korsningspunkter i Malmö. Det görs genom att försöka svara på följande frågor: Hur ligger forskningsläget kring framkomlighet för cyklar, bilar och bussar vid införandet av cykelöverfarter? Hur har framkomligheten för de trafikslagen påverkats av cykelöverfarter The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the level of service for different transport modes are affected by the introduction of bicycle crossings at three crossing points in Malmö by trying to answer the following questions: What is the research situation on how the level of service for cyclists, cars and buses is affected when introducing bicycle crossings? How has the level of service fo

Syfte: Syftet var att belysa intensivvårdssjuksköterskans upplevelse av det akuta omhändertagandet av traumapatienter på akutmottagningens traumarum. Metod: Studien använde sig av kvalitativ semistruktu

Bakgrund På en intensivvårdsavdelning vårdas de mest kritiskt sjuka. Patienterna kan vara både medicinska och kirurgiska, och kan tillhöra olika åldersgrupper. Gemensamt är att de utsätts för stora påfrestningar både fysiskt och psykiskt vilket kan orsaka påfrestande minnen för denna patientgrupp Syfte Syftet var att beskriva eventuella skillnader på vuxna (över 18år) patienters påfrestande minnen

The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves

For most people getting a stroller is an obvious thing to do when having a baby. It’s mainly used for transportation of the baby but has other functions as well. For example, it is used as a storage, serves as a shopping bag for groceries and makes a perfect bed for a baby nap. Using a stroller should be easy and safe, but when it’s getting dark outside it can be hard to see the road ahead and fin

Om kvinnor i åldern 16 – 29 utgör en grupp som i stor utsträckning har arbeten som inbegriper kundkontakt samt löper större risk att utsättas för sexuella trakasserier på arbetet; vad händer då när denna kundkontakt sker i butiker där såväl miljö som produkter anspelar på sexuell attraktivitet? För att undersöka detta har fyra djupintervjuer genomfört med personer som arbetar i olika underklädesbu

The green bond market has seen exponential growth since its boom in 2013 but literature on this topic is considered woefully inadequate. This research paper therefore seeks to compare the performance of European green bonds against its conventional counterparts. Analysis was conducted on two data samples spanning from the year 2013 to 2019 using the matching principle and an extended Fama-French m

Föreliggande studie behandlar leksakssystemet Lego som semiotisk resurs, i termer av makt, sett utifrån ett kritiskt diskursanalytiskt perspektiv. Fokus ligger främst på produktserierna Lego City respektive Lego Friends representation av samhället, hur de ser ut, vad som skiljer dem åt, hur de förändrats över tid samt vad för budskap de förmedlar till barn.

This study looks at the relationship between education of children in developing countries as a tool within sustainable development in relation to the colonial past and modern day coloniality. It looks at how the colonial use of education is recurring within a pr

Designing a spare part distribution network that fits the company’s strategy and customer requirement is a common problem for many organizations. Due to the advantages and disadvantages of different distribution network designs, it can be difficult to capture all requirements and contextual factors when designing the network. Furthermore, customer requirements and company strategy can change over

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how four different women’s shelters talk about what happens to a woman after she has left a relationship where there has been domestic abuse. This was achieved by taking part of the different women’s shelters narratives on domestic abuse and their work through semi- structured interviews. This study focuses on how the different women’s shelters talk

Suröl är en dryck som ökat i populäritet, speciellt bland folk med stort intresse för hantverksöl och mikrobryggerier. Allt fler bryggerier vågar nu att gå utanför sin trygghetszon med att använda jäst av typen Saccharomyces cerevisiae och istället börjar experimentera med bakterier och jäst som tidigare ansetts vara produktförstörande, till exempel olika mjölksyrabakterier och vildjäst. Genom forSour beer is rapidly gaining popularity among people that have an interest in craft beer and the microbrewing scene. This leads to breweries starting to venture outside their comfort zones regarding the more traditional brewing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and instead have started experimenting with different kinds of bacteria and yeast that in a normal process is regarded as spoilage bacteria,

Från avrinningsområdet Donauried-Hürbe i södra Tyskland pumpas varje dag grundvatten som renas och levereras som dricksvatten till cirka tre miljoner människor i bland annat städer som Stuttgart och Ulm. Området kring den 200 meter djupa karstakvifären, ifrån vilken dricksvattnet härstammar, är idag miljöpåverkad av mänsklig aktivitet såsom jordbruk och fordonstrafik. För att minimera föroreningsrThe project is part of a larger investigation of the water protection area Donauried-Hürbe. This area is a recharge zone used by one of Germany’s biggest water supply companies, the Zweckverband Landwasserversorgung (LW). The freshwater supply originates from a 200 m thick karst aquifer in the Swabian Alb (Schwäbische Alb) and flows southest towards the Donauried and into a porous aquifer. The lon

Vid resor med kollektivtrafik finns det applikationer där en resenär kan söka efter resor. Resorna presenteras i en lista som oftast är sorterad efter avgångstid eller ankomsttid, vilket inte alltid stämmer överens med hur en resenär faktiskt väljer sina resor. Examensarbetet syftar till att utvärdera om det är möjligt att utveckla en maskininlärningsmodell som istället sorterar resorna utifrån reWhen traveling with public transport there is nowadays applications where a traveler can search for trips. The trips is presented as a list and is most often sorted by departure time or arrival time, which not always matches how a traveler actually chooses his trips. This thesis aims to test if it is possible to develop a machine learning model that instead sorts the trips by how a traveler has ch
