This thesis has attempted to show the process of transformation from the developmental state in South Korea and Taiwan since the 1990s on the perspective of the four main elements of the developmental state in strong capacity of state, coherent bureaucracy, government-business coalition and industrial policy. Based on these four dimensions, the thesis investigated the evolved process from the deve
Tatrabergen, som ligger i västra delen av Karpaterna, har upplevt flera nedisningar under kvartärtiden. Avsättningarna i sluttningarna längs bergens södra sida har klassificerats som glacifluviala, baserat på geomorfologi, men har inte undersökts i detalj tidigare. Det här projektet fokuserar därför på att etablera avsättningshistoria och -processer samt avlagringarnas ålder i ett grustag i Biely The Tatra Mountains have had several glaciations during the Quaternary. The deposits located in the southern foothills were classified as glacifluvial, based on geomorphology, but its sediments have not been studied in detail. Therefore, this project focused on establishing the depositional history, processes, and age of the deposits in a gravel pit, located in the Biely Váh valley in these foothi
With a mission to reduce the dependency of fossil-based plastics, the collaboration company to this master thesis project has developed and patented a technology that enables plastic production from wood fibers. The fibers of the company have been chemically treated in order to be more “plastic like” and thereby easier to mix and disperse with conventional or biobased plastics, to create a granula
Purpose: The aim of this dissertation is to explore mobility in a proximity tourism context. Mobilities are being widely discussed in connection to society, everyday life, and tourism as a whole. Thus, it focuses on the staycation phenomenon as a case of proximity tourism. In particular on its representations in the digital media and as a local travel practice in Sweden. Considering that tourism i
Sverige har satt upp mål om att bli fossilfritt till år 2030. Detta mål avses uppnås genom politisk styrning och riskhantering, bland annat genom en nära 90 procentig förnyelse av den svenska fordonsflottan. Denna reglering påverkar både individen och samhället. Becks (2000) begrepp risksamhället beskriver ett samhälle vars främsta syfte är att hantera abstrakta risker till följd av industrialiser
In this thesis determinants of distributed PV uptake in Brazil are estimated over a period from 2012 to 2019. To provide a deeper inside into the distributed PV market, a municipality-based panel regression is used to estimate determinants of PV consumer units and installed potential. The results indicate that most PV systems are located in the South and Southeast of the country, where PV potentia

I min hemstad Lidköping ligger ett av nordens största torg; Nya Stadens torg. Torgets och stadens historia är starkt sammankopplat med marknadstraditioner men också med en barock greve som ville bygga en stad i tidens ideal. Idag pågår det torghandel på onsdagar och lördagar på torget, men bortsett från de torgdagarna och vissa större event, står torget oftast tomt och öde. Vad som skulle kunna h
Several findings show that dark matter makes up 27% of the universe. The goals of this thesis are to understand some of the most important evidences and candidates for dark matter, as well as how dark matter is searched for. The ATLAS and LDMX experiments are reviewed to give a greater insight into the search for dark matter. Two papers from ATLAS are studied more carefully and the data from these
In this study, we evaluate the performance of 395 private equity funds by European private equity firms between 1989 and 2018, using real cash flow data gathered from Preqin. The evaluation involves using absolute- and relative performance measures. We adopt the public market equivalent framework to measure relative performance, which compares the returns of a private equity fund with a reference
Studiens syfte är att undersöka vad som karaktäriserar användningen av njutningssubstanser (alkohol, narkotika och tobak) i Lomma kommuns niondeklassares ungdomskultur. Få studier av ungas användning av rusmedel har gjorts i områden med hög socioekonomiskt status, såsom Lomma, vilket innebär att denna studie öppna upp intresse för vidare forskning. Empirin i denna studie har samlats in genom en me
The purpose of this thesis is to develop a deeper understanding regarding middle managers' perspectives of their role in organizational culture change. Different roles of middle managers during cultural change were identified based on how they understood their role and their approach to managing change. Middle managers' individual sensemaking, approach to managing change, and cultural awar
Densifying cities has become a way to make room for the increasing urban population. By doing so, the urban green areas risk being reduced as well as the population’s availability to them. Research has shown that interaction with nature and green spaces contribute positively to human health and well-being. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the inhabitants and municipality view the u
Denna avhandling analyserar erfarenheter och förväntningar hos amerikanska studenter som genomför master studier på heltid i Sverige och hur deras monetära värdering av utbildningen, demonstrerat genom betalning av undervisning, påverkar deras studier. Undersökningens syfte är också att utforska hur eleverna anpassar det specifika akademiska habitus som de tar med sig från sina amerikanska utbildnThis thesis analyzes the experiences and expectations of American students conducting full-time master’s studies in Sweden and how their monetary valuation of education, demonstrated through paying tuition, impacts their studies. This thesis additionally aims to explore how students adapt a specific academic habitus during their US educational experiences that they, in turn, bring with them to stu
The Chinese party state has taken the initiative to exercise control over the nation’s population in order to align with family policy and goals for national development. As a result, the negatively loaded stereotype “leftover women” has deeply penetrated Chinese society where single, urban and educated Chinese women have been the main targets. From analyzing marriage trends in Shanghai, populatio
Today we wear and tear objects and materials, in line with the linear economy. By instead reusing, the need for new production decreases, and so the extraction of raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions and generation of waste. By increasing the reuse rate, we can strive towards a circular economy and climb EUs waste hierarchy. The aim of this master’s dissertation was to study different business
Shared Reading is a reading promotion concept that originated in the United Kingdom and has, over the past three years, begun to engage various actors in Sweden including the Swedish hospital library. In the use of the method, health-promoting effects have also been identified, which is why Shared Reading has interested research in so-called medical humanities in a Swedish as well as an internatio
Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a technique that can change the way automated systems interact with their environments. The most common LiDAR systems used in industry today are based on the concept of Time-of-Flight (ToF) and utilizes pulsed lasers. Coherent LiDAR, such as Frequency-Modulated Continuous- Wave (FMCW) LiDAR, which operates with a chirped continuous-wave laser, offers advantag
The principle of fiscal neutrality is the essence of the EU VAT system. It aims at relieving taxable persons of the burden of VAT through the deduction mechanism provided for by the VAT Directive. In its another aspect, the principle is a means of reflecting the equal treatment of taxable persons. The equal treatment of taxable persons ensures that taxable persons in a comparable situation are not
Den sydatlantiska anomalin (SAA) är området med svagt magnetfält som sträcker sig från Afrikas västra kust in över Brasilien. Under det senaste 160 åren har området som omfattar den SAA växt i storlek samtidigt som området långsamt har rört sig västerut. Då SAA sammanfaller med en generell avsänkning i magnetfältets intensitet har det spekulerats i att den SAA kan vara inledningen på ett större skThe South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is the area with a weak magnetic field that extends from the western coast of Africa to inland Brazil. During the last 160 years, the area that covers the SAA has had an increase in size with a simultaneous, slow westward movement. The development of the SAA coincides with a generally decreasing intensity of the magnetic field. This has led to speculations that the
