The subsidized rental housing (SRH) project is a recent public housing project in China, in which the Chinese government has attempted to improve the affordability and quality of rental housing in some major cities through marketized new constructions and redevelopment. However, it has caused massive displacement and significantly raised housing costs in Shenzhen’s urban villages, with a questiona
Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr
EMC is crucial when it comes to designing modern electronic systems, ensuring their functionality, reliability, and regulatory compliance amidst the ever-expanding electromagnetic landscape. This master's thesis delves into the domain of EMC by investigating the possibility of developing a Python-based proof-of-concept tool. The software tool is designed to analyze frequency spectra acquired f
Media holds an irreplaceable role in liberal Western democracies as it assumes core democratic functions such as disseminating information, representing public interests and taking on the role of a watchdog. In relation to the rise of populist radical right parties, research has revealed that media holds a crucial role. Hence, within the context of the rise of the populist radical right party Swed
In this thesis work the potential of compost as a sustainable alternative to peat as soil amendment was investigated. Peat extraction has substantial negative environmental impacts, but concerns exist about potential contaminant accumulation in compost. Four soil amendments, one sourced from a Scanian municipality and three commercially available, were analyzed for the presence of 10 metals, 35 PF
The common cold may affect an individual's life, or socio-economic development. This study investigated the effect of a probiotic product (mixed strains) on colds and changes in the oral microbiome. The study included 45 subjects, 23 taking the probiotic product (probiotic groups) and 22 taking the placebo (placebo-control group). The number of colds and duration of colds were investigated sep
Cooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. This thesis is a first step towards the realization of CPS in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defin
This study explores credibility assessment in the Danish asylum determination system, through the perspective of advisors to asylum seekers. These advisors are either lawyers, aid workers, or volunteers, but are all people who have experience supporting asylum seekers through the bureaucratic process of the Danish asylum system. The element of credibility has long been considered an elusive and la
In the wake of some high-profile accidents such as Gonesse (2000), Linate (2001) and Überlingen (2002), a trend of criminalisation of aviation professionals was noticeable. Recently, this trend was also seen in cases of operational incidents that did not lead to injury, loss of life or damage to property. This research explores whether the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No. 376/2014 of the Eu
In common discourse it is often assumed that sustainability and business are opposing dials, where increasing the level of sustainability, decreases the financial benefits. However, many researchers have demonstrated that for established businesses there is a positive relation between the implementation of sustainability and financial performance. However, it cannot be assumed that this relationsh
The purpose of this study is to examine digital information loss at three Swedish archives. Digital preservation is a complex issue and something most archival institutions struggle with today. While there is merit in focussing on successes in this struggle, doing so to the exclusion of failures runs the risk of creating a blind spot for existing problems. We hope that this study will contribute t
Purpose: The study aims to investigate the multi-phased customer experience for accommodation through Airbnb and its relation to the concepts of co-creation and expectation. Methodology: Through abductive reasoning, this study uses both qualitative and quantitative method to achieve the stated aim. The interview will be used to develop the explanations for answering the research questions. In add
För att kunna fastställa om en misstänkt nedslagsstruktur verkligen bildats genom ett meteoritnedslag så används så kallade chockstrukturer som planar deformation features (PDFs) och i vissa fall planar fractures (PFs) som indikatorer. Tidigare studier har visat att kvarts och kalifältspat från nedslagsstrukturen Siljansringen innehåller bland annat PDFs. I denna studie har zirkon från samma lokalShock-metamorphic features such as planar deformation features (PDFs) and in some cases planar fractures (PFs) are widely used as impact-indicators when to confirm a suspected impact structure. These features only develop when exposed to a sudden and immense pressure and temperature increase in association with meteorite impacts. In previous studies, quartz and k-feldspar containing PDFs have been
This master’s thesis, through the use of linguistic landscape analysis, examines three neighbourhoods in the city of Malmö, Sweden (Västra Hamnen, Möllevången and Rosengård), in order to investigate how multilingualism, specifically as a consequence of globalization, is negotiated within public space. Physical text in public space works both to reflect and reinforce wider social processes and prov
Boreal forests are important for climate regulation since they store anthropogenic carbon emissions in vegetation as well as in soil. Forests fires might counterbalance this by releasing the stored carbon to the atmosphere. In this review the effect of forest fires on carbon dynamics in boreal forests was examined. More specifically, studies were reviewed estimating the combustion emissions of car
The aim of this Master's Thesis was to develop a standard for structural testing of implants to be used in transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, since there is a lack of such standards for this type of implant. The methods used in this project include a literature study, a review of ISO standards, simulations of gait in a software called OpenSim, and a comparison of the OpenSim results with
Within the software industry it is now common to use the freemium business model; giving away the core product for free while charging for additional premium features. A risk for companies adopting the freemium business model is that the percentage of paying customers is not high enough to both subsidize all the free users and make profit for the company. This thesis investigates how the design o
Digitalization is changing the conventional face of business, posing ethical questions with regards to how businesses create, collect, use, and store data as part of their everyday business activities. Moreover, because of the pervasiveness of data technologies and unpredictability of their effects on society at large, the complex network of stakeholders affected by data handling is increasing exp
Dynamically predicted shelf-life label (DPSL) has been discussed to be one of the solutions to curb meat waste. Therefore, the research about the DPSL label and the perceptible information obtained by minced meat consumers is conducted. The research purpose is to identify the critical factors to design a DPSL label for minced meat consumers, and to design and assess the label with the consumers. T
The need for land security continues to be urgent for economic development in Africa. Central governments are implementing large-scale land reforms, yet the effects of land title formalisation are still not thoroughly understood. The growing evidence by macro-level empirical studies of the importance of property rights has not been sufficient for understanding the factors that determine property r
