This research examined the experiences of 12 low-risk individuals to identify factors influential to their behaviours during the COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland. The method used a semi-structured format of interviews conducted over June 2021. The study found that participants held a subscription like mentality towards adopted protective behaviours which focused on the protection of loved ones. Behavi

Social interaction is a basic human need that contributes to society by allowing individuals to compare and exchange opinions and perspectives, bridging the gap between different groups. The primary setting for this exchange is what we define as public space. In our daily lives, we find ourselves constantly interacting with the environment that surrounds us, influencing and being influenced by it.

Sweden has expressed a commitment to children’s rights in the last few decades, signing the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) in 1990 and eventually incorporating it as Swedish law in 2020. With the Covid-19 pandemic coinciding with the convention as law and drastically changing the lives of many, including those of children and youth, what role do children’s rights play during a gl

I takt med att världen blir mer datadriven flyttas allt fler stora beräkningar till molnet. Då tillkommer ofta problem med filhantering. Detta examensarbete bidrar med ett nytt sätt att dela filer med molnet, där molntjänsten får tillgång till filer som lagras på användarens dator.Data science development largely revolves around working in notebooks, and these usually run in a cluster environment. These cloud notebooks do however come with limitations. Support for tools like version control, testing, refactoring and linting is limited, which negatively impacts developer experience and software quality. We propose a networked file system for sharing local files and director

The territory of Western Sahara (WS) has been occupied by Morocco since 1975, displacing many of the indigenous people now living in refugee camps in Algeria. In 2019, the EU adopted a new Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Agreement (SFPA) with Morocco which includes WS waters. This in spite of two court rulings stating that trade agreements including WS resources are not legal without the cons

Samhällsbyggnadsprocessen är en viktig del av samhällsutvecklingen där flera krav ställs för att skapa goda och hållbara möjligheter för alla. Vid byggnation måste man undersöka de befintliga förhållanden så att man inte bygger på en olämplig plats, men även analysera bland annat buller från trafik som har direkt påverkan på människors hälsa. Alla kraven undersöks vid olika skeden i planeringsprocIn Sweden, the urban planning process plays an important part of developing sustainable cities. Therefore, it is regulated by multiple requirements to ensure that nothing is built in areas where people may be negatively affected. The requirements are controlled at different stages in the process and there are recommended methods and guidelines on how to control them. Even if the requirements are c

For the purpose of gaining experience in the field of production design this project involved developing the production design of a self written short film of the fantasy genre. To reach the results, the three step production design process was used which includes concept art, planning and fabrication. The project started with writing a story that included elements of different categories

A spoon full of insulin helps blood sugar go down Glucose is the primary source of fuel our bodies extract from carbohydrates to power our cells. Once glucose is released into the blood stream, pancreas reacts by releasing insulin into the blood stream. Insulin is a hormone which allows cells to uptake glucose after a meal. However, when insulin is not produced by the pancreas, or the cells don’

It is amidst the digital saturation of life, globalised interconnections, and accelerated global AI market growth that we are witnessing today that new complexities and challenges emerge in strategically navigating these environments. This thesis explores the emerging dynamics of strategy and Big Data and Artificial Intelligence through a qualitative research design employing semi-structured exper

The impacts of harbour porpoises by human-made, so called anthropogenic, underwater noise disturbance have been investigated in the past decades. As harbour porpoises are protected under the EU habitat directive, underwater noise management has been proposed as part of conservation efforts. Disturbance of harbour porpoises by ship noise and boat activity has previously been reported to have negati

Bakgrund: År 2019 drabbades 8404 personer i Sverige av plötsligt hjärtstopp, varav 1532 överlevde. Patienter som överlevt ett hjärtstopp upplever generellt försämrad livskvalité. Sjuksköterskan tillhör den profession som tidigt har kontakt med patienten efter ett hjärtstopp och har därav möjligheten att upptäcka eventuella komplikationer hos patienten. Till följd av detta behöver sjuksköterskan ha

Tetra Pak offers a wide range of carton packaging out of which aseptic carton packages are the most common. Aseptic cartons have laminate packaging material with six layers consisting of paperboard, aluminium (Al) and polyethy

The following bachelor’s thesis has been aimed to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon incels. Over the past decade an increasing number of socially and romantically rejected men have exchanged their experiences, values and the injustices of their existence online - identifying themselves as incels. Through mutual encouragement the participants develop a deep hatred of society in gene

A LASTING ANTI-TUMOR RESPONSE Cancer and its treatment have been a hot topic in research for quite a while. Despite, it being well researched, researchers still have not come up with one magic bullet. Will they ever though, is the question? Or should we be satisfied with several working treatments for individual cancers and patients? If we were only this far, since there are still some cancer typ

The design field is at a determining moment, with socially and environmentally imminent threats in the coming decades. To tackle such complex problems requires extensive and adaptive responses. Design at the intersection of anthropology, sustainability and innovation is the most pressing discussion of our time (Erickson, 2003). A starting point for designers could be to start digging were we st
