Översvämningar i urbana miljöer är en växande utmaning i Kigali, Rwanda, särskilt i informella bosättningar där snabb urbanisering och bristfällig infrastruktur ökar risken. Denna studie syftade till att identifiera centrala hinder och drivkrafter som påverkar implementeringen av översvämningsåtgärder inom uppgraderingsprojekt, med särskilt fokus på naturbaserade lösningar (NBS). Genom intervjuer Urban flooding is a growing challenge in Kigali, Rwanda, particularly in informal settlements where rapid urbanisation and inadequate infrastructure increase flood risk. This study aimed to identify key barriers and drivers that influence the implementation of flood risk measures in residential upgrading projects, with a specific emphasis on the potential of nature-based solutions (NBS).

As the urgency of environmental challenges grows, companies are increasingly expected to reduce their negative impact and rethink their current practices. In light of this time of change, the aim with the following thesis is to increase the understanding of the conjunction between Sustainable Business Model transformation and Sustainability-Oriented Innovation, and contribute to existing literatur

This thesis investigates the factors driving Bitcoin’s volatility over the period 2019 to 2025. A period marked by heightened economic uncertainty, including both the Covid-19 pandemic and the Trump election period. Utilizing GARCH-X (1,1) and EGARCH-X (1,1) models, the paper finds five statistically significant drivers of volatility; VIX, S&P 500, Gold, U.S. dollar index (DXY) and Google sear

Galaxies with high redshift (z) are galaxies in the early universe, and they differ from local ones. They often show more irregular morphologies and significantly different kinematic properties, as turbulent motion dominates. These early galaxies have higher gas velocity dispersion (σ) and lower rotation-to-dispersion (vrot/σ) values. Recent findings from both the JWST and the Atacama Large Millim

Forskningsfråga: Har faktiska återköp en påverkan på aktiens likviditet på återköpsdagen under en konjunkturnedgång och i vilken utsträckning påverkar företagets storlek likviditetseffekten? Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur faktiska återköp påverkar likviditeten i företag under återköpsdagen och om företagsstorlek spelar någon roll för denna effekt. Metod: Två hypoteser formuleras för

To minimise the risk for new product failure and accurately assess the commercial potential of an innovation, companies make predictions. The majority of the available prediction methods are however tailored to either existing products or established companies. For new companies developing high-technology innovations, the literature offers limited guidance on how to navigate the many market uncert

A key for the wellbeing of all humans is to have a reliable and lasting clean water source. This source would ideally not negatively impose on the environment and its ecology. This is one of the Swedish environment quality goals, to minimize the environmental impact of the drinking water extraction. Vombsjön is a drinking water source lake in southern Swe-den, supplying 25% of Skåne county with wa

This thesis analyzes how and why old toys are restored by and for adults, despite contemporary Western society's understanding of toys as signifiers of childhood exclusively. With this in mind, the intent is to answer whether childhood attachments to toys can also be observed in adults by analyzing how the restoration process of toys reaffirms emotional and social significance for all involved

Bragg Coherent Diffraction Imaging (Bragg CDI) is an X-ray imaging technique used to recover the internal strain information of nano-scale crystalline particles. A particle, illuminated by X-ray beams, is rocked along a direction θ and the entire diffraction volume is sampled by a series of 2-D diffraction patterns. From the diffraction volume, the internal structure of the particle can be recover

Miljöförändringar är framträdande i den samhälleliga debatten där sådana förändringar ses som ett växande hot mot diverse samhällsstrukturer. Detta hot har följts av regleringar inom EU med målet att uppnå nettonollutsläpp till år 2050. För att möjliggöra ett nettonoll-skifte riktas uppmärksamhet mot marknadsorganisationer och deras hållbarhetsarbete. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka miljö

Due to the increasing incidence rates of skin cancer, there is an urgent need for novel technologies that can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outlook. In a previous study, a machine learning model was developed to automatically delineate skin tumours from non-invasive hyperspectral images. However, the reliability of the model was undermined by difficulties with a preprocessing step in whi

The study explores possible determinants of fertility in Costa Rica, in the context of a fertility decline between 2010 and 2024, using a double hurdle model. The research considers household, female, and male characteristics, as well as intra-household bargaining dynamics. Key findings include a consistent negative effect of income on fertility, supporting the quantity-quality trade-off theory. E

This essay analyzes frequently used adjectives co-occurring with general gender-specific nouns and investigates the sociolinguistic effects that the semantic associations and gender-stereotypical descriptions in sentences have on English speakers. A mixed-methods approach was conducted, with one corpus-based, and one empirical methodology used. Previous researchers have studied gender stereotypes’

Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promemThe purpose of the thesis “The Price for Security” has been to examine how the referral bodies in the legislative process concerning security zones reason about human rights in the responses, in order to gain understanding of which interests they value. To achieve this, a descriptive analysis of arguments has been conducted based on the consultations responses submitted regarding the memorandum wi

Hårdare krav ställs idag på ljudmiljön i kontor där bland annat minskad överhörning mellan kontorsdelar och bättre rumsakustik i mötesrum eftersträvas. Att åtgärda dessa problem blir ofta aktuellt vid inflyttning av nya hyresgäster- en process som vanligtvis innebär omfattande rivningsarbeten och nybyggnation av icke-bärande innerväggar. Syftet med projektet var att ta fram en metod för att förbä
