The thesis investigate how Argus talks about Sweden and the Swedes, as well as the interaction between the newspaper and the readers. Part of Benedict Anderson theory of the importance of the newspaper for a imagined communi

Three novel ways of producing small volumes of blood plasma for either a Point of Care or automated application were developed and evaluated based on their usability. Development was based on the trapping unit of the acoustofluidic AcouTrap system by AcouSort AB, Sweden. By trapping cells and clumping them together, increased sedimentation speeds of whole blood cells was achieved, based on the pre

According to previous study, data-driven decisions can result in fact-based decisions that help a company flourish. National parks, particularly in developing countries, are not properly utilizing data as a decision-making tool, which is essential for enhanced competitiveness. Empirical re-sults show that the park administration makes most of its decisions based on established rules when implement

This thesis examines the effect of cognates on codeswitching in planned speech production in trilinguals, which has previously been unexplored. Previous studies on cognates and codeswitching have primarily focused on cognate facilitation effects in spontaneous speech in bilinguals. While experimental studies have gradually acknowledged the importance of investigating codeswitching in a sentence co

The heat exchanger is a system where heat gets transferred between oil and other forms of lubricants from one system to another without mixing through conduction. The hot liquid is cooled by passing through the heat exchangers plates, which act as a wall between them. When hot liquid is passed between the plates, the following plates are passed with cold liquid, which carries the heat away from th

This master´s thesis examines the working conditions and working environment of assistant nurses within the home care service of the elderly during and before the Coronavirus pandemic in Sweden. Before the pandemic studies showed that care work performed by assistant nurses lack recognition of how hard and heavy their work is and at the same time that their wages are low in relation to other occup

Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,

As the ASIC designs continue to grow in complexity, traditional RTL level of abstraction is becoming a productivity bottleneck. The RTL design process requires extensive time and effort for verification of algorithmic correctness as well as correct timing and interface behavior. Furthermore, a non-trivial change to the algorithm often results in a complete rewrite of the RTL implementation. High L

A Jacobian free multigrid preconditioner for linear problems arising from Implicit Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations is implemented. The preconditioner is based on a multigrid method for a low order Finite volume (FV) discretization on a subcellgrid. L2-projections are introduced as a strategy to translate between the discretizations. Numerical tests on advection dominated linear advecti

Gratitude, one of the key concepts in the growing field of positive psychology, has been shown to be beneficial for organizations by improving employees’ well-being.

Syftet med denna studie är att utforska hur musikämnet, musiklärarens roll och lärandet i musik utvecklats i förhållande till de digitala verktyg som används i musikundervisningen. Tidigare forskning visar på att mycket skett inom skolans digitalisering de senaste 15 åren, både på en övergripande organisatorisk nivå och i de enskilda lärarnas undervisningsvardag. Musiklärarna som intervjuats i denThe purpose of this qualitative study is to investigate how the subject of music, the professional role of the music teacher and the learning strategies in music education have evolved in light of the digital tools being used in music education in Swedish compulsory school and upper secondary school. Previous research shows a massive development in school digitalization processes during the last 1

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the Icelandic state perceives the Arctic and its place in that region of the world. The thesis sees Iceland’s state identity as narratively performed and engages with a three-dimensional view of state identity based on space, time, and the state’s relationship with Others to construct a holistic view of state identity. Through a narrative analysis of Ic

Previous research shows that men in preschool experience anxiety in physical interaction with children after media discourses about child sexual abuse in preschool. Against this backdrop this study investigates how male students and newly graduated preschool teachers talk about masculinity and physical interaction and how they experience that the preschool education offers them tools or discussion

So, what does a new life for the old fire station mean? It means that it is possible for a new generation to utilize the Gåsebäck landmark and historical building. The building should be attractive for the investors, for the city, and its inhabitants. The provided opportunities for the development of the building could be considered as a temporary solution for maintaining the history of the Gåsebä
