Mikrosimulering av trafik i samband med utbyggnation- Lindbergsvägen, Södra Trönninge, Varberg

The area of Södra Trönninge is planned to be extended with approximately 900 housing. With all kinds of constructions a research about possible consequences has to be made. With a higher number of inhabitants in an area a higher amount of traffic is to be expected. Even with a higher amount of traffic, accessibility is important. Assessment about the consequences is not always easy when it comes t

Optimering av extruder temperatur styrning i Tetra Paks laminatorer

This report covers a task created by the company Tetra Pak in Lund on temperature control in plastic extrusion. The task of the assignment was about plastic extruder used in the Tetra Pak lamination process. In order for the polymer to have the correct viscosity prior to lamination, it must hold a certain temperature. The temperature of the plastic is affected by the friction of the screw which de

The impact of green roofs on the urban heat island effect : a study on Augustenborg, Malmö

With the growth of cities more issues relating to the environment, economy and health have emerged. The climate in the city affects how the city is structured and how the city space is used. In return the city also has an effect on the climate by modifying the regional climate conditions on a large scale. This has led to an increase in air temperature in the urban areas causing an urban heat islanGrowth of cities has caused the climate in them to change making urban areas warmer than the surrounding rural areas. This phenomenon is called an urban heat island. Mitigation tactics to counter the heating of the urban areas vary from changing the thermal properties of the surface materials to adding vegetation and water bodies to the urban scene. This study aims to investigate the impact green

From slums to sustainability? Internal migration in a highly urbanised developing country: the case of Brazil

Brazil is a country founded on migration, and since the Second World War most of that migration has been internal. However, urban overcrowding has changed the nature of migration in this, one of the most urbanized developing countries.

Hate Speech on Social Media: Implications of private regulation and governance gaps

Hate speech on social media hardly remains unnoticed. Contents involving hateful messages vary from “kill a Jew day” to “kick a ginger day” and could target anyone irrespective of their status, identity, location and so forth. Even when hate speech is not materialized into a hate-motivated crime, the damage is done – victims are being labeled, marginalised and exposed to negative stereotyping. The

Entrepreneurial Perception of Product Development Cycle Time within Startup Companies

Purpose: While the phenomenon of new product development (NPD) and cycle time in general is sufficiently covered in the literature, a clear picture of the NPD length in startups has not been available so far. Simultaneously, the literature emphasizes the entrepreneurial perception and judgment as major factor for the success of a business, but does not specifically refer to the NPD cycle time.

Norm Diffusion and Geopolitics: the Paradox of the EU's Eastern Partnership

The EU has a normative character in its foreign policy. While dealing with its relationship with the neighbours, the EU pays attention to exporting its norms. The enlargement policy is evidence of the EU’s normative power. However, from ENP to EaP, the EU seems not so effective in promoting normative changes in the target states. The existing researches lack a deep and comprehensive analysis of th

A Comparative Study on Turkey under Globalization: Premature Deindustrialization and Institutional Transformations

This paper investigates Dani Rodrik’s argument about premature deindustrialization processes in developing countries and its political repercussions for these countries with a focus on Turkey. Premature deindustrialization is defined as a fall of real MVA and employment shares of manufacturing at levels much lower than the developed countries experienced in the past. The consequences of this pheno

Controlling your data under the GDPR: fact or fiction?

The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been the subject of significant public discourse in legislative chambers, the media, business circles, and academia. Putting aside the formal legal terminology of market harmonisation and fundamental rights, the GDPR has been reported by many journalists and the European Commission as a tool that will help individuals within the EU to take con

A Qualitative Analysis of The Demographic Challenge and the Future of Work

This thesis immerses into the debate on the demographic shift that, in past years, has been characterized by widely diverse opinions and standpoints. The unpredictable nature of the expected challenge has inspired this qualitative analysis to explore and question the proposed effects of an aging population. Furthermore, this literature review investigates the suggested strategies and means to mana

Min Kånken, en del av min stil: en etnografisk studie av Kånkenanvändarnas gestaltning av stilkulturen indie

This dissertation has examined Fjällrävens backpack Kånken, and its interconnection with the individual's social identity, as well as the group affiliation to the style culture indie. The study has also treated Kånken and its expression of fashion in connection with the style culture indie. In the answering of questions we have conducted an ethnographic study, with a total of 8 people being in

Functional analysis of cultured retinal cells

Undersökning av näthinneceller odlade på ljuskänsliga nanotrådar Människans sinnen bombarderas ständigt med nya intryck. En stor del av dessa förmedlas via vår syn. Ljus kommer in i ögat och absorberas av ljuskänsliga fotopigment som finns i de yttre segmenten av näthinnans fotoreceptorer. Näthinnan är uppbyggd av flera olika skikt och av flera olika celltyper, både nervceller och stödjande gliacWorldwide, millions of people suffer from retinal degenerative diseases leading to cell death of light absorbing photoreceptors. This results in vision impairment and, in many cases, eventually blindness. A possible solution for patients gone legally blind due to retinal degeneration, is the use of retinal implants. The best performing retinal implants of today, regarding vision acuity, still give

Consumer Value on Unbundling Practices by Full-service Carrier – a Qualitative Study

Despite the media outcry whenever a full-service carrier announces its plan to unbundle its flight service and charge some of the service components as add-ons, there is an increasing number of full-service carriers around the globe dropped the full bundling approach in exchange for add-on bundling when selling their flight tickets.

Constructing supported lipid bilayers from native cell membranes

The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid ves

Trafik i detaljplanen

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
