Ludvig von Mises once stated that the question of liberal planning was not whether or not to plan, but whose planning should be regarded; if the individual is mandated to plan for herself or if it should be the overarching government apparatus that will plan for each and every of its subjects. Liberal planning is a term that appears to have become beshaded by what is called neoliberal planning. Th
This thesis discusses commemoration processes of the Second World War and the Holocaust in Sweden. The timeframe for this analysis is set from 1995 on when Sweden joined the European Union and general interest in Holocaust research increased in all EU member states in the 1990s. The thesis focuses on memorials and exhibitions in Stockholm dealing with the topic. Through interviews and visual analy
Mitt examensarbete påbörjades i en fas där jag valt en plats som jag känner en viss hatkärlek gentemot. En hatkärlek som gett mig energi till att skapa min vision. Kärleken ligger i en slags projicerad minnesbild av en plats som idag inte är mycket mer än bara en plats. I ett landskap, cirka 70 meter från vattenbrynet i en badort på Skånes sydkust, står restaurang Pärlan övergiven. En plats som f
This qualitative study examines the dominant fertility discourse in Finnish media in 2019, when the total fertility rate dropped to an all-time low level, spurring media debate and political attention. The study analyses the representations and framings of fertility, and the underlying norms, assumptions, power-structures and silences in the dominant discourse using discourse analytical tools, mor
Förändringar av miljöförhållanden i två naturområden i Helsingborg Landskap förändras hela tiden och det sker många stora förändringar genom att vi brukar marken på olika sätt, som till exempel när vi odlar mat. Under det senaste århundradet har det skett många stora förändringar i jordbrukslandskapet, bland annat på grund av att man börjat använda konstgödsel, bekämpningsmedel och har utvecklat Since the 1800’s the agriculture has changed and intensified significantly, going from small scale farming to large homogenous arable landscapes with fewer grazing animals, more fertilizers and pesticides. In Sweden, this pattern of intensification has been very distinct, especially in Scania, which today is dominated by plains. This has left substantial changes in the surrounding ecosystems, affe
With rapid urbanization and population growth, Addis Ababa faces a big challenge of dealing with slums in the inner city. It has used up most of its space within its boundary and there are now a number of projects on the pipe line to redevelop the inner city slums. This seems to be the single most pressing issue currently. The recent public housing projects and inner city renewal programs has cau
This thesis examines the preservation of social media user activity as digitala folkminnen (digital folk memories), using as a case the two Swedish platforms of LunarStorm and Bilddagboken (Dayviews), which were integral to the daily lives of young people in Sweden in the early 2000s. As these platforms face closure or data loss, there is a risk of losing users’ contributions forever. While govern
An exploration of alternative approaches to addressing gender-based violence/harms (GBV/H) as a phenomenon in Ireland and the UK, often articulated as a formation of ‘rape culture’ in its normalisation of these forms of harm and power dynamics, manifesting in social, political and legal spheres. In an attempt to tackle the root causes of GBV/H, this research examines the specific harms through a
Social media has been incorporated increasingly in society day to day lives. The emergence of social media has changed how people interact with and search for information about destinations. This thesis looks into the perspective of Instagram users’ on destination image formation through Instagram posts in accounts that only post about traveling. It researches how people perceive a destination and
Technological advancements cause it to be more common for managers and subordinates to work together from different geographical locations. It is associated with challenges, which virtual leadership is supposed to support in overcoming. As the leader is central in studies on virtual leadership, this qualitative study takes a different perspective and has as its purpose to understand how leadership
A fleet of autonomous sailboat could change our perception of the planet. An autonomous sailboat could not only conduct environmental research but also perform month long operations through the energy efficient wind propulsion. This thesis is the work behind the development of an autonomous catamaran model sailboat. A new mathematical model is brought forward and implemented for simulations perfo
The study of post-translational modification has driven scientist to have a better understanding of protein function, activity and behavior in the metabolism that could later be useful for developing new drugs and treatments targeting key proteins in diseases, like cancer or neuronal disorders. In this project we tried to optimize the Acyl-Biotin Exhange of proteins coming from Chinese Hamster Ova

Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskvärdering på njur- och transplantationsavdelningen, avdelning 1, samt dialysavdelningen, avdelning 2, på plan 4 i byggnad 33, på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Malmö, med avseende personsäkerheten. Arbetet med att utvärdera personsäkerheten för patienter och personal på de två avdelningarna inleddes med ett platsbesök där viktig information samlades in. På SUS i
The polymer PTFE has become an important and widely used sealing material in the valve industry in recent years. It provides good strength and low friction, but it is sensitive to stress relaxation, i.e. loss of stiffness with time. This in turns may cause problems with leaking seals. The objective of this master’s dissertation is to perform a stress analysis of the PTFE sleeve used in an indust
