Human beings in modern society spend more than 90% of their time indoors to live, work, and socialize. To improve health, quality of life and task performance, integrative lighting is designed to give the right light at the right time at the eye to stimulate circadian entrainment. Current designs for integrative lighting consider rooms as black boxes, overlooking the contribution of daylight to th

Sedan människans gryning har vi utforskat vår omgivning med hjälp av våra fem sinnen. Med allt mer avancerade mätinstrument har vår förståelse för universums natur expanderat. Vi har kunnat sondera himlakroppar flera ljusår från vår galax med teleskop och undersöka vår cellulära uppbyggnad med mikroskop. Både teleskop och mikroskop använder ljuspartiklar som antingen reflekteras eller sänds ut fråTo better understand collectivity in high energy physics, the heavy-ion collision model Angantyr was developed to be included in the event generator Pythia. In this model, proton-proton collision phenomenology is extrapolated to heavy-ion collisions without assuming a thermal plasma for particle production. Hence, this model may help disentangle possible thermal and non-thermal phenomena contribut

This study investigates interculturality in health communication and deriving power relations. The Bilharzia Storytelling Lab 2022 in Kigali is a health communication program devoting significant attention to the role of culture and representing a new approach to respectful health communication practices. Exploring the Storytelling Lab methodology and its roles provides insights into the innovativ

In the rapidly-evolving technological landscape of today, even established research and development (R&D) companies are struggling to keep pace with the demands of innovation. It creates difficulties for small-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with especially limited resources to maintain competitiveness within the market. This study argues that open innovation practices can provide a solution t

This study aims to contribute with knowledge regarding how street-level bureaucrats within the police and the social services in Malmö experience their discretion and conditions for information exchange for crime prevention purposes among children. The study also aims to examine what standards for working methods, and the discussion between privacy protection and law enforcement, that can be ident

The urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products. This thesis investigates the potential of CCU in

Artificial neural networks is a powerful tool for classifying and identifying patterns in large amounts of data. One of the possible tasks of these networks is classification of data into categories. LDMX is a fixed target experiment that is designed to search for light dark matter particles using missing energy and momentum of electrons passing through and scattering of a target. In the current d

Forskningsfrågor: Hur påverkar makroekonomiska faktorer, som inflation och minskad köpkraft, svenska hushålls konsumtionsbeteende? - Hur påverkar inflation och minskad köpkraft hushållens varukorgssammansättning? - Hur påverkas hushållens priskänslighet och betalningsvilja? - Påverkas hushållens konsumtion olika beroende på inkomst och upplevd prismedvetenhet? Syfte: Uppsatsens primära syfte är at

This thesis investigates the link between the water and sanitation environment mothers are exposed to during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Mali, specifically early neonatal mortality and low birth weight. The motivation and contribution for this analysis is that little research has been done on this topic, specifically in the Sub-Saharan African region and with the combination of tho

The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden. As Covid-19 have led to increased concerns of unsustainable debt levels, questions of how government spending has affected the economic rebound and fiscal sustainability arises. To tackle these questions, I evaluate pre-existing

The main question being addressed is, "Is the food served at these student nations safe to consume?". A method surrounding review of control reports, survey research, and a literature review has been

I Sverige råder en del kunskapsluckor inom forskning som studerar rasism: utbredningen av rasism/etnisk diskriminering och dess konsekvenser. Samtidigt vittnar internationell forskning om samband mellan utsatthet för rasism och psykisk ohälsa. Denna studie hade delvis ett kartläggande syfte för att i svensk kontext undersöka frekvens av etnisk diskriminering, psykisk ohälsa (negativa mentala hälsIn Sweden, some knowledge gaps in the research of racism have been identified: the prevalence of racism/ethnic discrimination and its consequences. Simultaneously, international research shows a correlation between exposure to racism and mental illness. The aim of this study was partly to investigate the frequency of ethnic discrimination, mental illness (negative mental health symptoms) and ethni

With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su

This bachelor thesis studies a specific recurring trend from the 1990’s, which in this case is exemplified as dungarees, or as more commonly used, overalls. To understand the essence of this trend and why it’s recurring, a semiotic analysis is applied to the study and to understand the qualitative values it houses, such as social practices and structures, as well as signs, codes and symbolism, wil

This project is about imagining new ways we live at home, and new objects to take place. The project is based on personal interests, short case studies, and observation on current human conditions. The major concept was developed with constant attention on the mobility of domestic furniture, and how this general concept shape shifts to manifest different ideologies of different backgrounds. In
