In times of limited resources, growing cities, and a changing world, weeding out outdated answers to new questions is a cardinal task of architecture. Especially in cities, the space is limited, and space does not equal space. Development in the outer parts with new infrastructure has vastly different consequences than densification on inner-city plots. In the case study city of Berlin, the popula
Since the inception of Hinduism some 3500-4300 years ago, religion has been at the forefront of human, cultural, and social development, but how influential has it been on economic growth during the past century? This study examines this intriguing question to find whether or not religion is as prominent in the prosperity and development of modern economies as it once was. Seven carefully selected
The forest industry has big problems with the bark beetle attacking trees. This results in that they must log the damaged trees, which leads to an economic loss. For a tree to be able to stand against a big populations of bark beetles, it needs to have a strong defence or be surrounded by other trees via associational resistance. Furthermore, natural enemies to the bark beetle can also act as a de
The following thesis describes the construction of a model, made in Simscape, of an existing steam cycle at a pulp mill located in the south of Sweden. The pulp mill has had problems with produced steam being wasted, and the purpose of the model was to trim the regulation of existing components to reduce this surplus of steam. The model was built and extended incrementally, starting with the steam
The increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex business landscape in which contemporary global corporations operate presents challenges to management and specifically for leaders of dispersed virtual teams. To cope with unreliable external circumstances, modern multinationals operate under imperatives to develop new forms of transnational capabilities, by mobilizing knowledge resources across g
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur inlärningsstrategier används av sfi-elever och huruvida strategierna skiljer sig åt mellan grupper med olika studiebakgrund. Data samlades in med en kvantitativ enkät som syftade till att elever på sfi gav deras syn på olika påståenden kring sin egen inlärning och hur troligt det är att de skulle använda sig av vissa strategier. Eleverna

Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.

Two different topologies of power amplifiers (PAs) are designed in the frequency range 130-174.8 GHz for use in backhaul transmitters. These are the pseudo-differential common source (PDCS) and the single-ended stacked amplifier topologies. The PAs are designed in Cadence AWR design environment with virtual source models, implemented in Verilog-A, of InGaAs nanowire transistors using a 20 nm gate
There are many unemployed in Sweden that do not qualify for unemployment insurance and instead are referred to social assistance. In 2011 the Swedish Department of Finance issued a report suggesting changes to the current system. The proposed changes would make it easier for the unemployed to qualify for unemployment insurance. This study aims to investigate why the interaction between social assi
Klimatfrågan är en av de mest aktuella frågorna i dagens samhälle som upptar stort fokus inom många områden. Ett sätt att minska utsläpp och klimatpåverkan är att reducera samhällets energianvändning. Byggnader står idag för en betydande del av energianvändningen i samhället och är därför ett viktigt område för att nå uppsatta klimatmål. Vid nyproduktion av byggnader läggs stor fokus på att upprätIn 2019 buildings and services stood for 39 % of Sweden's total energy use. In new construction of buildings there is a great focus placed at establishing environmentally friendly buildings with good energy performance. But a large part of Sweden's property portfolio consists of older buildings where energy performance and comfort are low. Many of these older buildings also have a cultural
Cultural memories are meaningful for the present and are often constructed in remembrance media that institutions produce and audiences engage with. While the remembrance media texts have been getting much attention, the perspective of media audiences is still underresearched. Processes of mediatization, digitalization, and the affective turn call for studies that approach social media audiences’
