I denna studie testas en metod på ett case inom sjukvården i syfte att se om bilden av intre

This paper explores associations between education and life expectancy by sex at the district level in Costa Rica for the Census years 1984, 2000 and 2011. Previous research on the topic have shown mixed results on the gradient between SES and health outcomes for Costa Rica. This ecological study is the first to use districts as the unit of observation, which allows for a more elaborate analysis i

Gräsrotsfinansieringsplattformarna syftar till att förmedla kontakten mellan kapitalsökande bolag och investerare.

This thesis aims to examine how private sector firms can innovate business models to attend to the BOP. A qualitative research approach in the form of a

This thesis deals with the study of how the Smart Mirror fares compared to other information oriented devices in three areas: Energy consumption, light interference from the mirror foils and general performance of the computer system. The development of Smart Mirrors has mainly been focused on usability, whilst research in performance and light interference is lacking. The project, contains compos

Denna studie riktar sig mot anställda som arbetar i gruppboende som innefattas av Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionsnedsatta (LSS). I flera sektorer inom den offentliga sektorn sker det en ökad detaljstyrning och den anställde får ett alltmer omfattande administrativt ansvar. Syftet med studien är därför att öka förståelsen för vilken betydelse styrdokument och riktlinjer har för den a

Abstract This thesis uses Critical Discourse Analysis to analyse the narratives of Islamophobia of United States of America, with President Donald Trump as a case study, examining his interviews and speeches.

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to extend the literature on green extensions, by exploring how consumers perceive the image of car brands extending to green vehicles, and the underlying factors for this perception, based on a set of theoretical propositions which the authors seek to qualify. Methodology: The methodology used to fulfil this purpose, consist of a qualitative study, usin

This study evaluates and compares two different wastewater treatment technologies from a life cycle perspective. The evaluating technologies are Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology with a microfiltration membrane and Iso-Disc technology. Both technologies are gaining market share and are an important step in a wastewater treatment plant to guarantee good effluent quality of water. In this study w

Skolsegregationen har ökat och det finns stora skillnader i hur olika skolor presterar. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om det finns några skillnader i hur niondeklassare i en svensk kommun i huvudstadsregionen ser på sin studie- och yrkesframtid. Jämförelsen är gjord mellan ungdomar som går i en skola med höga resultat som ligger i ett välbärgat område samt ungdomar som går i en skola med låga resul

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) seeks to combine climate change adaptation, socio-economic development and climate change mitigation benefits through the use of ecosystem services and biodiversity. Embedded in socio-ecological-systems, EbA efforts need to overcome challenges posed by complexity, uncertainty, long time horizons and interdisciplinarity.

This thesis examines the wealthiest individuals in 19th century Sweden. The specific questions asked are which sectors of the economy these individuals accumulated their wealth in; and to what extent they belonged to the nobility. The thesis also further investigate whether the wealthiest were overrepresented as high ranking politicians such as ministers, members of parliament and mayors. The econ

This theoretical paper will explore the limitations of denaturalization of gender, or more specifically the breakage of the link between maleness and masculinity. Using different examples of female masculinities, but focused on those coupled with lesbian desire, it will be argued that exposing performativity/unnaturalness of gender does not necessarily impact the gender binary - femininity/masculi

Denna uppsats avser att undersöka larmoperatörers informationsbehov och utmaningar vid larmsamtal som utgörs av tysta larm och larm som inte går att begripas. Vidare uppmärksammar studien hur sensorteknik med hjälp av ett databehandlingsramverk kan mäta fysiologiska värden för att stödja larmoperatörers arbetssätt. Uppsatsen omfattar en kvalitativ intervju och en observationsstudie för att observe

The protons and neutrons that make up the atoms in our Universe are part of a larger group of particles called hadrons. Hadrons have an inner structure consisting of the elementary particles called quarks. The interaction of the quarks is described by the quantum field theory quantum chromodynamics. Quantum chromodynamics predicts a confinement of the quarks within the hadrons, but at large temper
