  1. 1. The Creation of Sustainable Infrastructure: A qualitative study of internal stakeholders cooperation and understanding of sustainable infrastructure on an operational level in the case of project Västlänken.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för globala studier

    Author : Ebba Westermark; [2023-11-08]
    Keywords : Sustainable infrastructure; CSR; legitimacy theory; TBL; Västlänken; Gothenburg; cooperation;

    Abstract : This qualitative case study has been compiled by semi-structured interviews with management of internal stakeholders (Trafikverket, Västtrafik, NCC) at project Västlänken about their understanding and perception of how to create sustainable infrastructure and collaborate with one and other. The thesis begins with a background on the CSR (corporate social sustainability) directive and the SDG 9 (sustainable development goal), followed by an overview of the project Västlänken. READ MORE

  4. 3. “THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN PRISON” : A QUALITATIEVE STUDY OF SPECIFIC DETERRENCE AND INCREASED PUNISHMENTS

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för kriminologi (KR)

    Author : Ebba Philipson; [2023]
    Keywords : deterrence theory; crime prevention; general strain theory; increased punishments; specific deterrence;

    Abstract : This thesis primary aim is to examine specific deterrence; the fear of punishment experienced by individuals who have committed crimes and subsequently received a punishment. Specific deterrence is assumed to deter criminals from reoffending. READ MORE

  5. 4. Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Bayesian Inference for Gravitational Waves

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Christine Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Gravitational Waves; LISA; LISA mission; Bayesian Inference; Markov Chain Monte Carlo; MCMC; Bayes’ Theorem; stochastic sampling; Metropolis Hastings; histograms; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a space borne gravitational wave detec- tor set to launch in 2034, with the objective of detecting and studying the Gravitational Waves (GWs) of our universe. So far, ground-based detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) have been successful in detecting GWs, but the limitations of ground based detectors is what makes LISA so special.

  6. 5. Exploring intra-granular strain in granular systems under mechanical load using scanning 3DXRD

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för byggvetenskaper; Lunds universitet/Hållfasthetslära

    Author : Philip Vestin; [2021]
    Keywords : Granular mechanics; 3DXRD; x-ray diffraction; Python; Physics and Astronomy; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This dissertation serves to explain the theory behind three-dimensional scanning x-ray diffraction while at the same time connecting the theory to a software package used for processing data obtained from measurements using scanning x-ray diffraction. This software package is then used and built upon to analyse the data obtained from the measurement of a sample of 12 silica grains subject to an uniaxial load of 60 N. READ MORE
