The 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
The digitalization of the social service in Sweden has begun extensively during the last couple of years. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine social worker’s expediencies of the digitalization of the social service and how it affected their latitude, work and workload. The chosen method of this study was qualitative interviews, which were held with nine social workers from four di
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
I dagens industri finns en önskan om att samla in data från många typer av anläggningar och installationer. Denna data används generellt för att övervaka och utveckla, men det är inte alltid lätt att hitta system som erbjuder precis vad som önskas. Detta examensarbete har undersökt en skräddarsydd lösning för att samla och presentera data, i samarbete med “Hässleholms Vatten AB”. Det har ingått t
The primary aim of this study was to examine how employees at HVB-homes define and use relationship-based praxis in their daily work with youths, and how organizational context and individual ability enable or impede such work. Applying a qualitative method, where individual and nuanced experiences of the topic is a primary focus, a goal oriented snowball sampling was made in order to get in conta
This thesis explores the potential of Blockadia resistance, the resistance of frontline communities against fossil fuel extraction, for the climate justice movement. Driven by the need for alternative forms of climate action that address the root causes of climate change, this study examines if local fossil fuel resistance gives rise to a justice based environmentalism. The analysis is conducted o
I denna uppsats undersöks vilka strategier som används vid dubbningen av filmtrilogin Gudfadern från dess amerikanska källtextsammanhang till ett italienskt måltextsammanhang. Syftet är dels att få mer information om hur översättning av flerspråkighet ser ut, dels hur det kan se ut när språkvarieteten som ska översättas är tillgänglig på det språk som det ska översättas till samt om förändringar ö
This study analysed 80 different articles from two Swedish newspapers: the evening paper Expressen and morning paper Dagens Nyheter, evenly divided between articles found with the search words drug addiction (drogmissbruk) and alcohol addiction (alkoholmissbruk). All of them published during 2018. By using a quantitative method to collect and code data and a social constructive and a political med
IPC-kontroller (In-process Controls) är kontroller som utförs i produktion för att säkerhetsställa kvalitet. På TePe Munhygienprodukter AB (TePe) fanns ett stort behov av att utvärdera, analysera och optimera IPC-kontroller i deras produktion vilket motiverade detta examensarbete. TePe hade omfattande problem gällande kassation av stora mängder defekta produkter samt avsaknad av tydliga instruktioIn-process Controls (IPC) are controls performed to ensure quality in production. At TePe Munhygienprodukter AB (TePe) there was a need to evaluate, analyze and optimize the IPC:s in their production which was the motivation for this master thesis. TePe had extensive problems regarding the disposal of large amounts of defect products and the absence of clear instructions describing the execution o
Momentum or trend following investing refers to trading strategies constructed around the idea that in financial markets, the current trend will, more often then not, prevail. In the context of asset prices, this means that previous returns or the price development of an asset is indicative of similar future returns and price development. While at odds with established theory such as the weaker fo
In this research I aimed for grasping an understanding of how community performance projects serve for building communities through bodily assemblies and affect. I conducted an ethnographic research based on two different performance projects in Malmö. I have used participant observation, embodied ethnography and semi-structured interviews as research methods. Doing so, I attempted to comprehend w
This is an explorative study of source material that has not been studied before, journals from Asylerna för husvilla in the beginning of the 20th century Stockholm. Asylerna för husvilla was a municipal organisation which was a part of the public poor relief in Stockholm at the time and offered temporal lodging, ”asyler”, for homeless people. The study is a quantitative study of the people who st
Cholera is a global threat to public health and a symbol of injustice and absence of social development. It causes thousands of deaths worldwide every year due to lack of sanitation, access to clean water, and poor hygiene. This thesis is motivated by the premise that effective cholera prevention and control efforts benefit from understanding the local context. This explorative research argues in
Sverige har som mål att, år 2040, ha ett helt förnybart elsystem. Idag utgör solceller ungefär 0.2 procent av den totala elproduktionen, men deras marknadsandel ökar hastigt, och antas ha potentialen att leverera 5-10 procent av elproduktionen år 2040. Till följd av den växande solcellsmarknaden har även energilagring, i form av batteri, blivit allt intressantare eftersom man med batterier kan öka
Good insect monitoring is important for both disease vector control and e?cient usage of pesticides in farming. Entomological lidar has been proven useful for detecting and monitoring insects. For every insect that transit the laser beam a backscatter signal containing species-specific information is obtained. Esti- mating the fundamental wing beat frequency of an observation is important for dete
Användningen av fasad- och vindskyddsskivor i ytterväggskonstruktioner är i dag utbredd. Skivorna är monterade långt ut i ytterväggen och utsätts således för variationer i omgivande relativ fuktighet och temperatur. På senare tid har skador såsom buktning av skivorna och sprickbildning hos skivorna uppmärksammats. Skadorna kan bero på rörelserna hos skivorna och det är således av intresse att undeThe use of boards as facades and sheathing is today common practice. Facade and sheathing boards are located far out in the building envelope and are thus subjected to variations of the surrounding relative humidity and temperature. Recently different kinds of damage on the boards have been brought to attention. The damage is varying and include cracking or warping of the boards. The damage may de
The Arctic is at the forefront of climate change and is considered to be the most at risk, warming at twice the rate of the global annual average. The environment and its inhabitants are and will be subjected to deep transformational shifts, with changes in temperature and climate having potentially worldwide repercussions. Global attention for the Arctic region has further risen by the increasing
Cold deformation of metals is known to induce roughness on their free surface. In some of the processing equipment of Tetra Pak processing systems, tubes of austenitic stainless steel 316L are used. During the production of this processing equipment, such tubes are occasionally cold-deformed. In this work, surface and microstructure characterization of alloying type 316L austenitic stainless steel
Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though
