The city of Stockholm has increased its number of surveillance cameras in public places the last few years in the name of crime prevention. However, as the number of cameras increases, how does this affect the people living in the city? This paper examines how surveillance cameras affect young women between the ages of 18-24 and their perception in different area around Sergels torg, T-Centralen a
I den här rapporten undersöks möjligheten för att tillverka och använda gjutmodeller tillverkade genom additiv tillverkning, i folkmun kallat 3D-printing. Först görs en grundläggande analys över hur modellerna tillverkas idag och vilka krav som ställs på modellen. Detta innefattar både rena material och hållfasthetskrav, men även mer svårdefinierade krav där man enbart kan resonera kring rimliga aIn this report the possibility for the manufacture and use of molding-patterns made through additive manufacturing methods, commonly called 3D-printing, is evaluated. First an analysis of how the patterns are currently being made and which demands that are put on them will be made. This includes more pure material and load demands, as well as more abstract and hard defined demands. After this the
The chirality-flow formalism has proven to simplify the calculations of helicity amplitudes to the extent that the matrix element corresponding to a Feynman diagram can immediately be written down. It has also shown to speed up the computation of scattering amplitudes through numerical implementations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. In this thesis we investigate if automated computation of amplitudes can be
The transition to renewable energy is a critical element in global efforts to combat climate change. This study explores the decarbonization pathway for Peru’s energy sector, emphasizing renewable energy integration in the electricity generation sector. Peru's rich renewable resources—hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal and biomass—highlight its potential as a regional leader in sustainable en
In this project I investigate how architecture can give form to an institution that creates the conditions for negotiation between competing narratives. It is situated at Sillhovstomten, the contested site behind the Nationalmuseum in central Stockholm. The failed Nobel Center proposal on this site revealed that it is not an empty void awaiting to be filled, but a place where different political,
Background: Dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) focuses on restricting phenylalanine (Phe) intake. The European PKU guidelines and the PKU Dietary Handbook recommend a simplified PKU diet, allowing unrestricted consumption of many low-Phe foods, called free foods. While this approach may reduce the treatment burden for patients, its implementation varies. This study investigated practi
Recent advances in the field of wild avian microbiome research have significantly deepened our understanding of the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bird–microbe interactions. Consequently, the field is now approaching a pivotal moment in uncovering the ultimate factors shaping avian microbiome structure, especially in relation to birds' ecological, evolutionary, and dietary diversity. Yet, avian micr
Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decision- making. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation
Matrix functions and their applications play an important role in different fields of science and engineering. The matrix exponential is one of the most important and extensively used function of matrices. The computation of the exponential of a matrix is an interesting topic that has been extensively studied over the years. There are several ways computing the matrix exponential but there is a pu
The Nigerian economy grew at an average rate of 7% between 20002011. However, recent drop in oil prices has led to calls for economic diversification away from oil. Using the services-led growth theoretical framework, this thesis provides an overview of the Nigerian service-sector. Through an analysis of descriptive statistics, the thesis showed that services have been contributing significantly t
Gender diversity has gained a lot of attention in the corporate governance literature, reaching conflicting results whether board gender diversity has an impact on financial performance. As a consequence, we set out to investigate how board gender diversity affects financial performance through innovation using a mediation technique. We constructed three hypotheses grounded in the resource depende
The aim of this thesis is to widen the understanding of the gender pay gap by introducing the factor of sexuality. Same-sex couples have legal rights that are relatively new; how does our understanding of labor division and pay change when more data on queer people emerge? This is achieved by using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) from the year 2017 and making multiple regressions,
The largest use of fossil petroleum is the production of fuels. Hence, finding sustainable alter-natives is an important step to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One such alternative is to produce fuel from biomass, such as waste products from agriculture and the forest indus-try. In Sweden, the forest industry is an important part of the economy. The pulp mills pro-duce an excessive amou
Due to both the effects of climate change and the high concentrations of infrastructure and socio-economic activity in low-lying areas in NYC, floods have the potential to destroy homes and businesses, impair infrastructure, and threaten human safety. Measurement, reporting, and verification are vital steps in evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of a climate change adaptation efforts. Howe
Automatic label placement on maps has been studied for many decades. This study has addressed the problem of automatic label placement by applying the labelling library PAL for labelling static, large scale city maps which the map company T-Kartor produces. Label placement rules were acquired from an interview with a person from the company. These rules were then applied on the labelling. The aim
Since August 2017, more than 655,500 Rohingyas fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh escaping what has been categorized as an Ethnic Cleansing. Their legal status of stateless and non-recognized refugees in Bangladesh, combined with multiple violent encounters and their currently precarious living conditions in Bangladesh is what have turned the world’s attention to The Cox Bazar, where arguably the mos
To catalyse transition toward a more sustainable economy, the European Union is proposing several policy interventions within the regulatory framework governing the financial sector. As part of this effort, a new EU Eco-label policy for green investment funds seeks to (i) facilitate individual investor participation in the sustainable investment market and (ii) increase private sector investments
This thesis work aims to find a suitable environment for different virtualization system to achieve enhanced performance. Virtualization plays a vital role in cloud services, and it is essential to help cloud users comprehend the brief distinction between different virtualization technologies. The hypervisor-based technology has been used as the primary selection for cloud services in the past, bu
