Som ett komplement till den allmänna linjelagda kollektivtrafiken finns anropsstyrd kollektivtrafik, vilken kan förekomma i olika varianter och ämnar svara mot den låga efterfrågan på kollektiva resor som finns på exempelvis landsbygd. Närtrafik är en svensk benämning på de olika former av anropsstyrd kollektivtrafik som förekommer. I södra Sverige arbetar regionala kollektivtrafikmyndigheter (RKMDemand responsive transport (DRT) occurs in different varieties and intends to respond to the low demand for public transport in rural areas, for example. In southern Sweden, regional public transport authorities work together in a network with the ambition to improve public transport within the regions. This applies not least to the regional DRT. The aim of this study is to compile and analyze ho

Kan mikroalger boosta växtproduktion utan att förstöra ekosystem? Encelliga mikroalger lever på solljus och näring i vatten, och kan växa till sig på nolltid. Att odla mikroalger har länge varit ett populärt forskningsområde eftersom cellerna kan producera värdefulla molekyler till t.ex. mat, kosmetika, eller bränsle. Dessutom kan deras förmåga att ta upp näring från det omgivande vattnet användaMicroalgal biomass may provide sustainably produced biostimulant and biofertilising products thanks to their significant phytohormone and nutrient contents. Previous research has successfully cultivated pilot-scale Chlorella vulgaris and Scenedesmus sp. biomass on wastewater in a pilot pond in Umeå, Sweden, while simultaneously removing nutrients and other pollutants. Intact cells (“IC”), broken c

Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur digitaliseringen har påverkat controllerns roll inom små och medelstora svenska företag. Studien visar att digitaliseringen tenderat att utöka controllerns roll genom användning av en ökad mängd informationskällor och en större andel ekonomistyrning. Främst har digitaliseringen ökat tiden spenderad på analysarbete. Rollens huvudsakliga fokus visar sig d

The thesis sets out to explore the role and meaning of friendships across two age groups. This is attained by a generational interview design where the groups are separated by nearly 20 years. The thesis is motivated by an alleged seismic shift towards the importance of friendships as the nuclear family imagery is on a purported decline in ‘contemporary society’ as suggested by the academic litera

Syftet med den här studien är att presentera en analys av Sigurd von Kochs närmast okända tonsättning av dikten Stjärnöga, för att utifrån denna analys utarbeta ett förslag på en didaktisk analysmetod för den klassiska sånggenren, med inriktning mot den individuella sångundervisningen på gymnasiet. Studien utgår från musikforskaren och pedagogen Bo Wallners analysmetoder, vilka också är utgångspun

Coronapandemin har påverkat samhället på många olika sätt. Inte minst arbetsmarknaden där arbetsplatser har flyttats från kontoren till arbetstagarna egna hem. Många tror dessutom att hemarbetet är här för att stanna även efter pandemins slut. Vem ansvarar för arbetsmiljön och hur ska arbetsmiljön säkerställas när arbetet flyttar från arbetsgivarens lokaler till arbetstagarens egna hem? Syftet medThe corona pandemic has affected the society in many ways. Not least the labour market where workplaces have moved from offices to employees’ homes. Many people believe that working from home is here to stay even after the pandemic. Who is responsible for the working environment and how is going to be ensured when the work is moving from the employer´s premises to the home of the employees? The ai

Spädbarn som skakas av sina föräldrar kan få livshotande och permanenta skador. Fallen är dock svåra att identifiera och baseras på en diagnostik som har blivit ifrågasatt genom senare års forskning. För att fortsatt skydda de barn som utsätts för våld, måste rättsväsendet utveckla effektiva metoder och bevistolkningar för att säkra barnets rättigheter. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka svenskInfants who are being shaken by their parents can get life-threatening and permanent injuries. The cases are however hard to identify and based on diagnostics that has been questioned in recent research. In order to still protect infants who are being exposed to head trauma, the legal system need to develop a rigorous and effective system that secures the rights of the child. The aim of the thesis

Drawing together the right to health in prison, and the understanding that yoga has numerous positive impacts on health, this paper explores the potential for using yoga as a way to improve prison conditions and experience from a human rights perspective. Secondary literature is used to answer two research questions: whether yoga is an appropriate and effective tool for realising international hea

Förpackningar är viktigare än vad man kan tro! De skyddar den värdefulla produkten från oönskade bakterier som kan göra att den blir dålig. För att drycken ska hålla längre så måste förpackningen behandlas för att ta bort allt som kanske kan skada personen som dricker innehållet. Man ser också till att bakterier utanför förpackningen inte kan ta sig in. Detta innebär att förpackningen är aseptisk.Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons

Sweden is at the forefront of becoming the first country with a net zero emission by 2045. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a multi faceted approach, incorporating a wide variety of both technological and societal advances. Within the realm of accomplishing a more environmentally friendly energy usage, smart metering is key. Sweden is rolling out a second generation of smart meters, targetin

The European Green Deal is an example of a growth-oriented environmental policy approach. However, from the perspective of Degrowth, the narrative of unlimited growth is criticized. Therefore, this thesis analyses resistant texts in reaction to the set of environmental policy initiatives proposed by the European Green Deal. To address the underlying power relations that constitute a dependency on

The objective in this thesis is to develop an autopilot for a personal watercraft (PWC) – popularly known as a jetski – that is capable of maneuvering in calm and rough waters alike. Maneuvering a PWC in calm waters is usually easy. It gets more challenging in rough waters, where environmental disturbances that can significantly destabilize the craft are present. In this project, two control stra

This research has tried to resolve the ongoing debate among the Swedish elites and politicians regarding why the adopted policy has failed to address the needs of patients with dementia in Sweden. It is argued that the origin of the debate lies between the policy formulation and how it is being implemented. Therefore, there is much concern about lack of coordination and stakeholder’s involvement d

In this thesis I examine how two variables: closeness and the TP-share (two-party-share) of votes impact turnout in elections. I use data from the 2016 Georgian parliamentary election and its two-rounds of election in the majoritarian districts. This field of research poses a wide variety of methodological approaches. One concerns the definition of the dependent variable, turnout. Instead of only

In 2015 the Swedish government declared itself to be feminist as the first government in the world. Margot Wallström, foreign minister at the time, said: ”It’s time to become a little braver in foreign policy. I think feminism is a good term. It is about standing against the systematic and global subordination of women” (Nordberg 2015). The declaration of a feminist foreign policy is remarkable in

This thesis takes on a case study approach and investigates the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland’s opposition towards the coal phase-out in Germany. The party is known for its contrarian position towards (human-made) climate change. Drawing on literature that investigates the populist radical right as well as climate change denial (also referred to as ‘scepticism’), a frami
