Vad finns i ditt vattenglas? Att skriva en innehållsförteckning till ett glas vatten kan tyckas enkelt, det är ju bara vatten. Om vattnet analyseras i ett laboratorium syns det dock att det innehåller många olika ämnen. I den här studien visar det sig att det finns höga halter av vissa ämnen i ett analyserat vatten. Det behöver därför göras fler analyser för att vattnet ska kunna renas och bli ettClean drinking water is a crucial part of a healthy society. During the last decades, a lot of emissions from different sources have put the drinking water sources that are used today at risk of pollution. This study aims to investigate the groundwater chemistry and contamination situation in the aquifer of Bergaåsen in the municipality of Ljungby in Sweden. This is done through analysis of chemis

Homelessness in Europe, especially Ireland, has been a growing issue ever since the recession of 2008. In addition to struggling with finding safe spaces and everyday tasks such as access to food, showers and grooming, the homeless are met with stigma and stereotypes. This thesis aims to explore how the homeless are portrayed in the Irish Times. Twenty articles from October 2018 were chosen and an

The digital microscopes that CellaVision produces today use a mechanical auto focus when capturing cell images. This requires the camera objective to be vertically positioned with a precision of 0.4 µm in order for the objects in the images to be considered properly focused. Because of the small distances, the system is sensitive to vibrations and errors due to mechanical imperfections are hard to

This study examines the experiences of four women being a part of a separatist space for women and transgender people creating music digitally and working with music production. For the four informants, the separatist context has been perceived as a safe space. Through interviews we find out about the informants' different experiences. All four feel that they have been strengthened by having b

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka nationalismen och hur den förmedlas i två olika tal. Materialet som har undersökts är Jimmie Åkessons tal i Almedalen 2018 och Donalds Trump`s acceptance speech at the RNC. Uppsatsen utreder skillnader och likheter mellan dessa två tal och på vilket sätt talarna förmedlar nationalism. Med hjälp av en klusteranalys konstruerad av Sonja K. Foss som bygger på e

Studies of grief have linked the experience of loss to multiple emotional, cognitive and physiological impairments but its behaviour across different cultures is insufficiently investigated. In this study, symptoms of grief and their relationship to negative psychological outcome among bereaved Jamaicans were assessed. A sample of (N=58) participants completed measures of grief and psychological d

Kering is a multi-player in the luxury industry, owning high-end brands such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, among others. A range of product lines of these brands use exotic skins as raw materials. Some argue that the use of such materials is too cruel and that the animal welfare cannot be guaranteed. On the other hand, exotic skins are presented as more sustainable than other types o

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyse the psychological processes that underlie the effect of framed compensation contracts on work effort. Methodology: The study is based on an online survey experiment (N=113) and applies quantitative research methods. In a between-subjects design, participants are randomly assigned to two economically equivalent compensation contracts (bonus contract

The self-screening error in the GW approximation is studied by applying correction schemes beyond the random-phase approximation in model and ab inito calculations. Two model systems in the form of Hubbard dimers, with one and two orbitals per site respectively, are considered. Both the self-screening (GW-ss) and self-polarization (GW-sp) correction schemes are compared to ordinary GW calculations

The aim of this exploratory research has been to examine the lean startup methodology process and foster a better way of applying this method in the global south. This is done by assessing the method’s application process of a solar startup targeting the Kenyan market - the strengths and weaknesses the company encountered during the process, measures taken by the company to overcome those weakness

Racial profiling is something that has been occurring in different contexts and countries for decades. When discussing the topic, it usually refers to the police authority conducting direct or indirect racial profiling of individuals who seem suspicious or that have foreign appearance compared to the native population. My focus is specifically on the recent debate of potential racial profiling by

Malmö stad har i sin översiktsplan från 2018 fastlagt att utbyggnad ska ske som förtätning innanför Yttre Ringvägen. Vidare prioriteras enligt planen förtätning i stationsnära lägen. Därutöver återöppnades den gamla Kontinentalbanan i Malmö, i december 2018. Längs med denna järnväg syns områden som i linje med den översiktliga planeringen skulle kunna ha förutsättningar för förtätning. Med grund iThe city of Malmo has in its comprehensive plan from 2018 determined that further urban development should be planned in the ways of urban densification, within the border created by the outer main ring road of Malmo. According to the plan, urban densification within proximity to any commuting station will be prioritized. Besides that, there was a railway in Malmo named Kontinentalbanan that reope

Trä är ett av våra äldsta byggnadsmaterial. Idag återfinns trä ofta på många olika platser i en byggnad och fyller således många olika funktioner. Fuktinnehåll i trä påverkar dess mekaniska egenskaper och vid höga fuktinnehåll är sannolikheten stor att trä angrips av biologiska organismer. Det är därför viktigt att skydda trä mot fukt och även mot variationer i fuktinnehåll. Traditionellt har trycWood is one of the oldest and most known building materials. Today wood can be found in many constructions and fill different type of functions. The moisture content in wood affects the mechanical properties and at a high moisture content there is a risk of attack by biological organisms. Thus, it is important to protect wood from water. Traditionally pressure impregnated wood has been used in dam

Syftet med studien är att undersöka sambandet mellan olika riskfaktorer och riskpremiens storlek i företagsobligationer utgivna av nordiska bolag under tidsperioden 2013-2018. För att undersöka studiens syfte används en kvantitativ metod med deduktiv ansats. Studien utgår ifrån tidigare forskning som undersökt vilka riskfaktorer som påverkar storleken av en företagsobligations riskpremie på andra The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between a number of risk factors and the size of the yield spread of corporate bonds issued by Nordic companies during the time period 2013-2018. In order to investigate this thesis’ purpose, a quantitative method and deductive approach has been employed. This thesis is based on previous research which has investigated what different ri

Teleportering – att förflytta människor och ting mellan två platser utan att de faktiskt reser mellan dem – har länge varit en del av science fiction berättelser, som exempelvis Star Trek. Fram till 90-talet så förblev teleportering en science fiction dröm, men 1993 så föreslog Charles H. Bennett och medarbetare ett sätt att få teleportering att bli verklighet. 1997 så utfördes ett experiment i ÖsQuantum teleportation is a way to transfer a quantum state between two locations, by utilizing a shared entangled state, measurements and the ability to communicate measurement outcomes between the two locations. This thesis consists of a theoretical investigation of an experiment that would implement quantum teleportation using single-electron states in mesoscopic architectures. First, we studied

Delningsekonomi är ett koncept som har utvecklats för att frångå det så kallade ”slit- och slängsamhället”. Givet konceptets innebörd, att dela underutnyttjade tillgångar istället för individuellt ägande, finns det svårigheter att bedriva en verksamhet och samtidigt ha ekonomisk bärighet. Det beror bland annat på individers beteende samt betalningsvilja för att dela istället för äga, och därmed ocSociety intends to become more sustainable and in the work towards becoming more sustainable, circular models have a contributing role in the transition. Combining sustainable consumption with the sharing economy concept could help to tackle challenges such as: the growing amount of waste and climate change by reducing the extractions of resources and regenerated materials within the economic syst
