The increasingly rapid urbanization has led to vast impervious surface areas in the urban environment. This situation of impervious surfaces has increased the surface temperature and interrupted the natural water circle, which has negatively impacted the urban environment. Human activities' continuous greenhouse gas emission has contributed to global climate change, which has caused some atmos
District heating is a common means of space and hot water heating in Sweden. However, the demand for heating is not the same at all times. On a yearly basis more heat is required during winter, while next to none is needed in summer. Since the demand for heat load varies throughout the year, when trying to predict it, using a model that changes with the seasons can give a more accurate prediction.
This master thesis explores commercialization of electric road systems in urban environments, using a combined methods approach, in contrast to previous studies that have focused on long haul transportation. First, through interviews and document gathering, a stakeholder map was constructed, and the incentives of the identified stakeholders were analyzed. The thesis found disagreements between the
In the last decade the world has seen a massive explosion of activity in the ma chine learning field. While the benefits of machine learning are ever growing and more impressive, the drawbacks of the technology are becoming clear and can hardly be ignored. The problem with a lot of machine learning setups is that they require massive amount of resources such as computational power, data storage, t
Denna uppsats är skriven av Alicia Svärd Hernquist och Hannah Lindvall i fortsättningskursen i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier på Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsens titel är “Mina dagar här är räknade” och skrevs under vårterminen 2021 i delkurs 4, Uppsats. Uppsatsen har en grund i problematiken kring det faktum att många arbetsgivare kringgår lagen om
With this research we aim to understand the dynamics of consumers' use of cancel culture as a resource for their identity construction online. Theories included were surrounding framing, morality, consumers as moral protagonists, purity and dirt as well as distaste and symbolic violence. These theories were selected to aid with the analysis of the empirical material and to add new insight to t
Despite being their closest evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees have a substantially different brain compared to humans: Homo sapiens display larger and more complex forebrains, although the protein-coding genes between the two species are basically unchanged. Therefore, differences in the transcriptome and in regulatory networks must be further investigated to better understand the dissimilaritie
Human-wildlife conflicts threaten the existence of many species worldwide. Large carnivores are often involved in such conflicts due to their diets and expansive home ranges. In Finland, wolf (Canis lupus) is one of such conflict-prone species. The wolf conflict is a multifaceted issue stemming for instance from fears, damages to domestic animals, competition for game and opposition of EU wildlife
The purpose of this paper is to investigate what motivates the recidivism discrepancy between populations with: severe psychiatric disorder and non-severe psychiatric disorder. The aim is to introduce an argument for biopsychosocial influences as underlying an individual’s propensity to act, using Luhmannian systems theory. By making use of current research on social and neurological risk factors,
I denna magisteruppsats undersöks hur dialekten i romanen Machandel av Regina Scheer kan översättas till svenska på ett källtexttroget sätt. Inom ramen för magisterarbetet har utdrag ur romanen översatts, och i uppsatsen analyseras denna översättning. Dialektens centrala roll i verket presenteras i en källtextanalys, följd av ett resonerande kapitel om utgångspunkterna för översättningen. Riktlinj
The overall purpose of the thesis is to gather deeper insights into the redesign of management control systems (MCSs) following a shift in value emphasis in family-owned firms by exploring the different dynamics of the family business system (FBS). Furthermore, the research has aimed to find an answer to how a shift from family management to external management influences the value emphasis, and h
Barn som bevittnat våld i nära relationer är en utsatt grupp vars behov ofta förbises(Socialstyrelsen 2019). Såväl svensk som internationell forskning på området visar att denna form av utsatthet får allvarliga konsekvenser på både lång och kort sikt. Samtidigt indikerar andra studier på kunskapsluckor och brister i arbetet med barn som bevittnat våld vilket resulterar i att dessa barn inte får de
Emerging infectious diseases (EID) continue to threaten the persistence of wildlife populations. The standing genetic variation of a population can affect its ability to adapt to environmental changes like EID. Levels of variation at immune genes, such as toll-like receptor genes (TLR) of the innate immune system, are particularly relevant. The current study explores the role of demographic histor
Fractal curves are self similar objects, most of which have the property of being nowhere differentiable. The foundations of fractal curves are in the study of continuous functions with no points of differentiability. In this thesis, the continuity and nowhere differentiability of the Weierstrass function will be proved by using an auxiliary function and mostly elementary tools from Fourier analys
The yield curve of a collection of debt contracts describes the yield of the debt contract as a function of the length-to-maturity of the contract. It turns out that these yield curves provide useful insight about the economy as a whole and can, for example, be used to predict short-term economic downturns. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that financial analysts and decision-makers are able
Berlin Dialect in Swedish? : How Berlin Dialect is Represented in the Swedish Translation of Berlin Alexanderplatz Alfred Döblin’s modern novel Berlin Alexanderplatz, first published in 1929, is strongly characterized by the Berlin dialect and colloquial speech. The first complete Swedish translation of this renown work was conducted by Ulrika Wallenström in 1978. This thesis investigates to what
This thesis analyses the relationship between sustainability transformations and grassroots movements in Monteverde, Costa Rica. The focus is toward understanding the influence of community-based initiatives on transformations that have sustainability as a goal, due to their potential for shaping society and addressing challenges such as climate change. The study also examines the emergence and de
