Amidst the present Covid-19 pandemic, consumer interactions with digital food technologies have expedited. This thesis examines how social network platforms and ethical consumption apps, enable and shape the everyday sustainable food consumption practice of young adults in Skåne, Sweden's southernmost region. Drawing on social practice theory and qualitative methods, the study addresses a disc
As the population is getting older, the demand for home care services is continuously increasing. According to industry forecasts, utilizing the current work methods in home care would probably not satisfy the future needs of older people. A few critical areas in home care are the daily visits and the nightly supervisions. To be able to provide these types of services in the future, some technical
The purpose of this thesis is to explain and analyze the project resilience practices developed and demonstrated in project management during times of crisis, as well as to analyze the correlations of these practices with project success, both in the short and long term. This project is also part of the Swedish Project Review, a longitudinal study benchmarking trends and areas of improvement in pr
Ständigt genom historien, har människan varit intresserad av att försöka bryta ner naturens lagar och fenomen till så fundamentala principer som är möjligt. Redan i antika grekland uppstod konceptet av en fundamental byggsten som uppgör all annan materia. Med en ständigt förbättrande teknik och mer utvecklade teorier, så har man under de senaste 100 åren kunnat undersöka mindre och mindre längdskaThis thesis presents the study of how initial state radiation impacts jets produced in pp and PbPb collisions, by investigating the transverse momentum spectra, the rapidity spectra and the differential jet shape. This is done for central collisions with nucleon-nucleom COM energy 2.76 TeV and 5.02 TeV. The anti-kt algorithm is used to reconstruct the jet, with the jet radii R = 0.3 and R = 1.0. F
Every year 125 000 tons of food is thrown away by Swedish grocery stores. A lot of this food is still eatable and this has caused people to go out at night to take the food for themselves straight from the dumpster. This is called dumpster diving. The purpose of this study has been to examine the discrepancy between the legal norms which proclaim it as illegal and the norms within the dumpster div
This thesis explores how Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Mister Pip (2006) by Lloyd Jones engage with the issue of the white male outsider’s activity of writing black people’s stories. It shows that Adichie counters the discourse that entitles the Western subject, Richard, to tell African stories by transferring his interpretive privilege to the African object, Ugwu. Jo
The Swedish integration policies rely heavily on the establishment program, a measure taken as a consequence of the high unemployment rate among refugees after the “refugee crisis”. The establishment program aims to tackle the gap in access to the labour market between native-born and refugees through economic imperatives. Civil society organizations step in to provide programs that target refugee
It is described in the preparatory work of the Social Services Act that a reasonable standard of living should be based on the prevailing conditions under which the individual lives. Because there is no specified description of the phrase, this entails interpretability of the phrase and therefore uncertainty about what it infers. The purpose of this study is to analyse the representation of the ph
För att främja den sociala hållbarheten behöver de mänskliga rättigheterna prägla arbetet kring utformningen av samhället. I Sverige upprätthålls detta arbete bl.a. via de Transportpolitiska målen. De transportpolitiska målen tar hänsyn till människors olika funktion och behov, målsättningen strävar efter att uppfylla dessa behov. En del av arbetet kring målsättningen är att göra samhället tiHuman rights need to imprint on the work of shaping society to promote social sustainability. This thinking is established in Sweden via Transport policy goals. The Transport policy goals consider people's different level of function and the different needs and work towards meeting these needs. Part of those goals is to make society accessible and usable for individual contribution in soci
This thesis aims to investigate millennials' experience of environmental documentary films and the experiences relation to the millennials values and mindsets connected to sustainability. The environmental documentary films are considered as cultural products, thus contributing and positioning itself within the field of culture and creative industries and service management. The theoretical fr
The German meat industry is a popular labour market destination for unskilled Eastern and Middle European workers. The precarious employment and housing conditions, exacerbated by a staggering number of COVID-19 infections, received immense media attention in 2020. Given the urgency of this issue, the German government introduced new measures targeting the sector with special attention paid to sub
En partikelfysikers mål är att beskriva universums minsta beståndsdelar. Den hittills mest framgångsrika modellen i partikelfysik kallas standardmodellen, vilken beskriver tre av de fyra kända krafterna samt alla funna elementarpartiklar. Den sista partikeln, som upptäcktes 2012, är Higgspartikeln. Denna partikel spelar en viktig roll i standardmodellen eftersom den ser till att de andra partiklarIn this bachelor thesis we investigate the gauge sector of a specific composite two-Higgs doublet model, allowing more freedom for the gauge couplings and compositeness scales. From the underlying parameters we generate model realisations with the correct top mass, Higgs mass and electroweak vacuum expectation value, that satisfy theoretical constraints such as unitarity and perturbativity. We als
I samband med covid 19-pandemin tvingades många arbetsplatser under våren 2020 att övergå till distansarbete efter rekommendationer från Folkhälsomyndigheten. Detta har inneburit en omställning för många människor som nu övergått från att jobba på kontor till att arbeta hemifrån. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie har varit att undersöka hur den påtvingade omställningen till distansarbete har
This study examines the current Swedish media debate regarding gender-affirming care and treatment for children and youth. The aim was to determine the overarching discourses surrounding gender dysphoria, what actors appear in the debate and on what terms, as well as to examine how danger is constructed in the debate. The material for the study consists of 20 opinion based articles from popular ne
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka “hookup-kulturen” eller tillfälliga sexuella förbindelser bland svenska universitetsstudenter. Med self-determination theory och teorin om kognitiv dissonans som grund hypotetiserade vi att ens motivation och attityd till tillfälliga sexuella förbindelser är en avgörande faktor för hur det påverkar självkänslan. I denna studie använde vi ett urval på N=The current study aimed to investigate the phenomenon “hookups”, or casual sex among Swedish university students. With self-determination theory and the cognitive dissonance theory as the foundation we hypothesised that one’s level of motivation and attitude for hooking up would predict how it affects self-esteem. In this study we used a sample of 106 university students who answered a survey with
Men's violence against women, whom they are in a relationship with, is a major social issue in today's society. Previous research has pointed out the extent of domestic violence in intimate relationships. This study aimed to investigate social workers experiences in working with the therapy of male perpetrators. Furthermore, the study aimed to look into how the therapy varies depending on
All around the world is the form of the built environment playing a significant role in either enabling or inhibiting outdoor activities. When it comes to winter and Winter cities, it is a challenge how to enable and encourage outdoor activities and soft mobility as the harsh conditions often make it uncomfortable to spend longer periods of time outdoors. A major urban design challenge in Winter
This thesis focuses on the correlation between the secondary objectives of the European Central Bank (ECB) and the right to a healthy environment. Whereas the primary mandate of the ECB is to maintain price stability, the applicable law also envisages secondary objectives, such as supporting economic growth and sustainable development. In parallel, the ECB continues to support the fossil fuel indu
