This case study seeks to contribute to an ongoing discussion about planning for a sense of community by exploring which approach is used by the municipality of Linköping when planning for the neighbourhood Vallastaden. Vallastaden is presented as a neighbourhood planned to create meetings and a local sense of community. However, in times of increased mobility and digitalisation, this local scale o
The purpose of the report is to study the yellow cycle route in the city of Lund and investigate the inadequacies that could be found on today's route. The yellow cycle route goes from Dalby in the south to Gunnesbo in the north. The method used to answer the questions of this report is literature study and a technical inventory. The analysis of the studied route is based on Lund’s cycle strat
Stock return volatility is very high in the biotech industry opposed to other industries and there is limited explanation as to why. Biotech companies invest large amounts of money on research and development to move drugs forward in the clinical trial phases, to get market approval by the regulatory agency FDA. The drug discovery and development process is long and expensive, taking on average 12
Food is a daily product which has a significant part of private consumption. Just like other goods, food prices tend to fluctuate, depending on a number of factors. An increasingly globalized food production, coupled with increased consumption, makes Swedish food prices more sensitive to outside factors. The increase in imports and the decrease in self-sufficiency means that prices in Sweden are a
Baumol in his seminal paper “Entrepreneurship: Productive, Unproductive and Destructive” offers the hypothesis that while total supply of entrepreneurs varies among societies, their productive contribution varies much more because of institutions in those countries. According to him, the rules of the game are responsible to divert entrepreneurial capabilities to productive, unproductive or destruc
Lantmännen Cerealia i Malmö utför provbak av bröd som ett led i deras kvalitetskontroll av ett malet mjöl. Nuvarande metod med provbakning av bröd på Lantmännen innehåller ister. Det är en kvarleva från förr då det var ett vanligt fett att använda till bakning. Det stämmer dock dåligt överens med hur det ser ut i bagerierna som idag använder framförallt rapsolja som fett i bakningen. Kvalitetsavde
Climate transition risk pricing in capital markets has emerged as a critical area of research. Using a comprehensive dataset of syndicated loans spanning the years 2010 to 2020, combined with greenhouse gas emission and financial data for borrowers and lenders from three different sources, we conduct an extensive cross-sectional regression analysis to assess how greenhouse gas emissions are priced
Design-forward portable lighting was introduced during the 2010’s, and has since solidified its presence and popularity. Made visible through restaurants and hotels it has grown into an attractive section of the lighting market. Through the flexibility of the cordless lamp, new creative design solutions have been achieved, and most design-forward companies include them in their range. Lighting d
Recent studies have highlighted how building resilience to ‘shrinking’ episodes, as opposed to increasing growth rates, appears to be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to between-country income convergence. All economies seem to be able to grow, but few countries have been able to drastically improve their shrinking patterns, which has underpinned the divergence often argued in literat
The purpose of this study is to understand how employees make sense of employee engagement activities in a remote work environment. Since the sudden shift to remote work represents a disruption of routine in the employees’ working life, we draw on Weick’s (1995) sensemaking theory to gain the best possible insight into the employees’ interpretation of remote engagement activities. Based on the tra
Anionic biosurfactant-cationic biopolymer systems were investigated to identify and characterize a coacervation window. The characterization of the systems was performed with dynamic light scattering, small angle x-ray scattering and in-situ ellipsometry. The surfactants sodium- and potassium caprylate (NaC10, KC10) and sodium- and potassium laurate (NaC12, KC12) were studied with titration experi
While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p
G protein-coupled receptors are the biggest family of membrane bound receptor in the human genome, they are also target for many drugs due to their accessible location in the cell membrane. We have characterized the G protein recruitment of the succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1/GPR91). GPR91 was deorphanized in 2004 and already then it was suggested that GPR91 could couple to the Gi-family and the Gq-f
The global financial crisis of 2007 shook up the European economic landscape through many channels. However, deeper economic integration and the resulting industrial specialization patterns, can partly explain the different impacts across countries. Economic downturns are less likely to congest across borders if the industrial composition is less homogeneous. This essay analyzes the effects of the
Bakgrund: Målet med rehabilitering är att hjälpa personer med funktionsnedsättning att återvända till sina vardagsaktiviteter och leva ett så bra liv som möjligt utifrån personens förutsättningar. Virtual Reality (VR) används i hälso-och sjukvården, bland annat inom strokerehabilitering. Syfte: Hur upplever vuxna patienter med funktionsnedsättning och rehabiliteringspersonal VR vid rehabilitering?
