Small regional airports are known to be economically unsustainable. When the previous private owner of Ängelholm-Helsingborg Airport announced their intention to shut the airport down, seven municipalities in northwestern Skåne decided to buy it. This has raised debate about whether municipalities should allocate resources to an economically and environmentally unsustainable business. The purpose

The primary purpose of this paper is to further build on research related to capability development in order to explore hindrances and benefits of internal capability development and external partnerships as ways to improve performance. The beverage industry is used as the focus context since the companies in this industry are increasingly responding to external trends and looking for ways to deve
För att svensk järnvägsinfrastruktur skall kunna vara konkurrenskraftig i jämförelse med mindre miljövänliga alternativ krävs kapacitetsutbyggnad och hastighetsökning av det svenska järnvägsnätet. Vid hastigheter över 200 km/h finns krav på att dynamiska analyser behöver utföras. För vissa brotyper, exempelvis samverkansbroar med ändskärmar, är det svårt att påvisa acceptabel vertikal acceleration
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka brasspedagogers metoder för att instruera tonproduktion och embouchure för yngre nybörjare samt vilka perspektiv som kan tillföras detta ämne från logopeder som spelar brassinstrument. Data samlades in genom två fokusgrupper, en med fyra erfarna brasspedagoger och en med två logopeder med erfarenhet av att spela brassinstrument. Resultatet visar på såväl eThe purpose of this study is to investigate the methods used by brass teachers to instruct tone production and embouchure to young beginners, as well as examine what perspective that could be added to this subject by brass playing speech therapists. Data was collected from two focus groups – one with four experienced brass teachers, and one with two speech therapists with experience from brass pla
Education is one of the key components in developing identity, personality and a sense of belonging in the time of peace. But when weaponized by the states as a tool of indoctrination, education becomes a highly effective instrument of war, contrary to the relevant rules prescribed by the international humanitarian and international human rights law. This weaponization of education was widely empl
A recurring argument in scholarly literature is that the EU is suffering from a democratic deficit in which its institutional legitimacy is being questioned by the public. To remedy this issue and gain public legitimacy, the EU has over the last 20 years developed a public communications approach to engage citizens in European affairs and to create a European public sphere. However, the EU has not
The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors’ reasonings as to why adaptations of their psychosocial work were made during the Covid-19 pandemic. The study was conducted through semi structured qualitative interviews held online with six school counselors who had worked at upper secondary schools in Skåne during the pandemic. The school counselors reasoned that digital tools had beco
The study’s aim was to investigate how a group of social health workers reasoned about patient support groups as a psychosocial intervention in conjunction with current research and the social health workers' own experience of such interventions. The study explores the interviewees' conceptions, challenges and concerns about patient support groups when used as a psychosocial intervention.
Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump
Digital financial services have long been known as key tools in increasing women's financial inclusion, independence, and social mobility. However, the exact method in how these services should be most effectively deployed is still up for debate. Women have continuously been excluded from the financial sector, in large part due to restrictive cultural and gender norms inhibiting their independ
Education is considered a key component in the empowerment of women, and policy interventions such as investments in education can be effective in reducing gender- based inequality. To investigate the relationship between such a policy intervention and empowerment, this study investigates the impact of a large school construction program in Indonesia, where over 61,000 primary schools were constru

This report aims to compare the plane parameters given by the PlaneRCNN network with those created by using a Structure from Motion (SfM) solution on the same data. Several datasets are used, and the results from PlaneRCNN are evaluated by using the camera matrices from the SfM solution and applying these along with scaling and coordinate transformations. We use and explain RANSAC, neural networks
This thesis is based on two case studies of public art, Tony Cragg's artwork Points of View and Marianne Lindberg De Geer's artwork Jag tänker på mig själv. The purpose of the thesis is to clarify municipal processes related to public art and to investigate how perceptions of public art can differ between art institutions, art critics and the general public. The results from the case studi
Frågeställningar: Hur arbetar bygg- och rivningsentreprenörer mot en cirkulär ekonomi? Vilka krav ställer beställaren på entreprenören om avfallshanteringen i ett rivningsprojekt? Hur planerar entreprenörerna för återvinning och återbruk av rivningsmaterial? Vilka hinder finns det med cirkulär ekonomi? Vad händer med de material som inte går att återbruka? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersAbstract Problem statements: How do building- and demolition companies transition towards a circular economy? What requirements does the developer place on the contractor regarding waste management in a demolition project? How do contractors plan for recycling and reuse of demolition materials? What are the obstacles faced towards a circular economy? What happens to the materials that can’t be re
In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi
Målet med examensarbetet var att fastställa om det är möjligt att använda maskininlärning tillsammans med en kommersiellt tillgänglig kamera för att identifiera cigarettfimpar i dagvattensystemet. För att göra detta konstruerades en modell av en dagvattenbrunn. Modellen bestod av en låda som genomskars av ett avloppsrör. I lådans lock hängdes en kamera som filmade en öppning i röret. Vatten som inThe aim of this thesis was to determine whether it is possible to use machine learning in conjunction with a commercially available camera to identify cigarette butts in the stormwater system. To do this, a model of a stormwater well was constructed. The model consisted of a box that was cut through by a drain pipe. A camera pointing toward an opening in the drain pipe was attached to the lid of t
The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors' reflections on their own knowledge of teen dating violence (TDV), how they forward their knowledge to students and how they use their knowledge to detect individuals who live with TDV. We conducted results from eight semi-structured interviews with school counselors who work at upper secondary schools in Sweden. The interviews were an

The cemetery, as opposed to the churchyard, is a distinctly urban location, designed especially for burials and remembrance. Today, it is used for activities such as cultural heritage tourism, exercise, picnics etcetera as much as it is a place
