Majoriteten av flerbostadshus i Sverige uppförs idag i betong. Genom uppförande i trä kan en reducering av koldioxidekvivalenter under byggprocessen och byggindustrins utsläpp av växthusgaser uppnås. Träkonstruktioner ger dock i högre utsträckning upphov till störande vibrationer vilket minskar byggnadernas attraktivitet. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka för vilka situationer respektive byg

Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent

How can passionate love and burning hatred exist within the same social context, and how can fellowship and belongingness lead to violence between supporters? This study identified a lack of academic knowledge regarding a supporter perspective on the connection between fellowship within supporter culture and soccer related violence. Thus the purpose of this study was to explore why some supporters

Research Question: How has diversity impacted performance in the Asian, European and American divisions of Education First? Methodology: A qualitative case study using an abductive approach, aiming to detect how national corporate diversity impacts performance. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 senior managers of Education First, providing empirical findings that were triangulated

Då man producerar cement släpps koldioxid ut från både förbränningen av bränslet och kalcineringen av kalksten för att bilda bränd kalk. En del av koldioxiden, motsvarande den som släpps ut vid kalcineringen, kommer kunna absorberas av den härdade betongen. Denna process kallas karbonatisering och rör sig som en front från betongens yta och inåt. Ett sätt som ibland används för att bygga miljövänlWhen producing cement, carbon dioxide is released from both the combustion of the fuel and the calcination of limestone to form quicklime. Part of this carbon dioxide, corresponding to that released during calcination, can be absorbed by the hardened concrete by a process called carbonation that moves like a front from the surface of the concrete inwards. One way that is sometimes used to build mo

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the post-buyout effect on employment growth in LBOs relative to targets that were not subject to an LBO. Additionally, the study aims to provide an up-to-date insight into the impact of employment productivity post-buyout of the LBOs relative to non-LBOs, as the climate of buyouts have changed since its inception. Methodology: The econometr

This study analyses the factors that contributed to the collective behaviour of the mob at the January 6th Capitol riot and which factors were most influential. Previous studies have primarily relied on motive and justification in explaining prevention means and in part the actions of crowds during riots. However, have been unable to provide an in-depth understanding of a crowd’s collective behavi

This thesis analyses how conspiracy narratives are used to negotiate a collective identity within the global branch of the Freedom Convoy movement. To better understand what common conspiracies are present and how they function for the group’s collective identity, this paper is based on empirical data from text messages and memes shared in a group chat on Telegram, an instant messaging platform. W

The push-pull design has been shown to increase DSC performance through the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups and electron-donating groups, usually on opposite far ends of the sensitizer. The scope of this thesis was to synthesize several pre-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand analogs that are inspired by the push-pull design in an attempt to investigate their susceptibility to Fe(II) complex

Handledare: Anna Stevenson Nyckelord: Arbetsundvikande, engagemang, motivation, tomt arbete Frågeställning: Hur rättfärdigas arbetsundvikande av arbetstagare? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att, på forumet Flashback, undersöka hur arbetsundvikande rättfärdigas av arbetstagare. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Teorikapitlet behandlar tidigare forskning inom engagemang, motivation samt arbetsundvikande på a

In biology, cell counting provides a fundamental metric for live-cell experiments. Unfortunately, most researchers are constrained to using tedious and invasive methods for counting cells. Automatic identification of cells in microscopy images would therefore be a valuable tool for such researchers. In recent years, deep learning-based image segmentation methods such as the U-Net have been explo

Depression is one of the most prevalent illnesses in our society, claiming approx- imately 1200-1500 lives every year in Sweden alone. The key solution lies in information: raising awareness about the illness before it takes its toll. This project revolves around depression and its aim to educate young people about it. By conducting medical research, sur- veys, and studying biographies, I h

There are almost 6 000 acutely homeless in Sweden, according to the most recent estimation. The acutely homeless do not have any type of accommodation and so they have to rely on shelters for a half-decent place to sleep, but shelters are not always available and some people do not want to stay in shelters. When sleeping on the streets you are exposed to the public, but also to rain, wind, s

This research investigates two interconnected research questions about the relationship between gang criminality in Sweden and its potential applicability as a model for Finland, as well as the public and media discourse surrounding the crime situation in Sweden and its implications for Finland. It explores the extent to which the Swedish examples in relation to gang criminality can serve as usefu

Studiens syfte är att undersöka, från ett longitudinellt perspektiv, sambandet mellan europeiska välfärdsstaters generositet och människors tillgång till socialt kapital. Med stöd av data hämtat från European Value Survey och Eurostat har studien analyserat crowding out/in-hypotesen. Studien har analyserat 33 länder mellan åren 1990 och 2017 . För att kunna genomföra studiens syfte har studien anvThe aim of this paper is to examine, from a longitudinal perspective, whether there is a correlation between the generosity of European welfare states and people's access to social capital. Additionally, this study aims to reexamine the crowding out/in hypothesis on the basis of data from the European Value Survey and Eurostat. Through the use of a means analysis and a multilevel regression an

Sammanfattning Behovet av krossmaterial ökar och i takt med ökande priser på bitumen samt svårigheten att få tag på krossmaterial i städerna så behöver man komma på nya sätt att bygga vägar. Ett sätt att minska mängden krossmaterial och bindemedel som används vid nybyggnation är att nyttja sig av sekundära ballastmaterial, alltså betong- och tegelkross samt asfaltgranulat. Det finns ingen större Summary The need for crushed material is increasing and in line with increasing prices for bitumen and the difficulty of obtaining crushed material in the cities, new ways of building roads need to be found. One way to reduce the amount of crushed material and binders used in new constructions is to use secondary aggregate materials, id est crushed concrete, brick and asphalt granules. This is no
