Do we know enough about Basic Income (BI) to support or discharge it? In this paper, two studies on the subject are reviewed in order to answer this question. One is the pilot study of Unconditional Basic Income in rural India (conducted by SEWA and UNICEF in 2011-2013) and the other is the Bolsa Escola/ Bolsa Familia program that was launched in Brazil in 1995 and is still ongoing. The aim is to
The use of high dynamic range (HDR) textures in real-time graphics applications can increase realism and provide a more vivid experience. However, the increased bandwidth and storage requirements for uncompressed HDR data can become a major bottleneck. Hence, several recent algorithms for HDR texture compression have been proposed. In this paper, we discuss several practical issues one has to co
Green technologies are essential to the development of sustainable economy and environmental protection. Stimulating innovation in green technologies requires environmental policies, regulations, public awareness, and more importantly intellectual property protection such as patents. This thesis explores the significance of patents in the green innovation process, and how patents affect the firms’

Målet med arbetet har varit att ta fram en metodik för hur industriparker ska arbeta med tillskottsvatten och okända avloppsströmmar. Resultatet av arbetet har blivit ett förslag på en metodik för att identifiera okända strömmar av avloppsvatten och tillskottsvatten i ett avloppsledningssystem för spillvatten inom en industripark. Metoden är framtagen genom en litteraturstudie och från erfarenheteMany water managers manage to reduce the amount of Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) that is added to the sewer system. The reason for this is to reduce the number of basement flooding and overflows. This is not the case in Perstorp industrial park. The wastewater treatment plant in the industrial park has a permit on how much water the wastewater treatment plant is allowed to release into the recipient,
Att jag intresserar mig för stranden som plats för mitt examensarbete är kanske inte så konstigt. Som vågsurfare har jag tillbringat mycket tid på stranden och ute bland vågorna.

Här är årstidernas förändringar och havets stormar de största utmaningarna,It is not that surprising that I chose the beach as the subject of my thesis. As a surfer, I have spent a lot of time on the beach and among the waves. Through surfing I have experienced a wide variety of coastlines around the world, but the beaches of Sweden have peaked my interest. The changing of the seasons and the ocean´s storms are the biggest challenges here for a surfer, not the size of th

Inom nuvarande forskning om Internet of Things (IoT) finns det inte många studier som har tittat på användarperspektivet eller på hur företag som är verksamma inom IoT avväger användarupplevelse när de utvecklar IoT-produkter. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur användarupplevelsen tas hänsyn till under utvecklingsprocessen för IoT. Den syftar också till att undersöka i vilken utsträckninIn current research of Internet of Things (IoT), there is limited research on the user perspective and even less on how companies operating in the field consider User Experience (UX) when developing for IoT. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how UX is considered during the development process of IoT. It also includes exploring to which extent this is done with a data-driven approach. The st
Cities are experiencing substantial population growth, they generate about 80 percent of global GDP and they are in power of local legislation. This makes them crucial actors in facing sustainability challenges.
