Förena mörker med trygghet för att gynna biologisk mångfald! Årligen ökar spridningen av artificiellt ljus på jorden till följd av att vi människor bland annat sätter upp mer utomhusbelysning. Belysning är en av många nödvändigheter för att människor ska känna sig trygga. Belysning medför dock ljusföroreningar som påverkar biologiska funktioner negativt och den biologiska mångfalden tar skada. TrThe spread of artificial light on Earth increases annually. One of many causes of this spread is due to increased street lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN). Lighting is one of the many necessities for people to feel safe. On the other hand, ALAN, which contributes to light pollution, negatively affects biological functions and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to investig

This research project investigates Swedish upper secondary school students’ experiences of engaging with English fiction, both within and outside of the context of their English language classroom. Three focus group interviews were conducted with 18 upper secondary school students from the southern parts of Sweden. Based on the collected data, five themes were identified. The themes were 1) the pe

Undersökningar tyder på att skärmanvändningen hos barn och unga ökar och att medieanvändning går allt lägre ner i åldrarna. Barn och unga matas dagligen med en uppsjö av sociala medier. Den ökade tiden för skärmanvändning bidrar till allt mindre tid för socialt samspel och att använda kroppen för fysisk aktivitet. Barn är mottagliga för påverkan där just skärmanvändning kan spela en betydande roll

Recycling has become increasingly relevant to solve environmental problems related to the enormous amount of plastic waste. Recycling plastic has many environmental benefits, but it is challenging to find applications where recycled plastic can provide the same functionality as virgin plastic. This thesis highlights the challenges of using recycled High-density polyethylene (HDPE) in pipe applicat

This study investigates the working life of people with immigrant backgrounds who work as language supporters to help the integration of refugees in a municipality in Sweden. Five language supporters were interviewed about their working experience in the municipality. Applying Joan Acker’s concept of inequality regime and Anders Neergaards’s concept of included subordination, the results of the st

De ökade kraven kring hållbarhet från organisationers intressenter har bidragit till att det har blivit allt viktigare att utvärdera sin roll i hållbarhetsutvecklingen. Triple bottom line (TBL) kan ses som ett ramverk som hjälper till att forma hållbara strategier eftersom det uppmuntrar till balans mellan de tre dimensionerna; miljömässiga, sociala och finansiella. Det har länge arbetats med tydl

Bakgrund: Amning är en mänsklig rättighet och har ett flertal hälsofördelar för både moder och barn. Många kvinnor upplever amningen som en prestation. För att uppnå fungerande amning krävs adekvat rådgivning från kunnig hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal, i syfte att bland annat stärka kvinnors självkänsla. Rådgivning från sjuksköterskor och annan vårdpersonal har visat sig påverka initiering och durat

Jordbruket har förändrats enormt under de senaste hundra åren, det har blivit större maskiner och små åkrar har slagits ihop till större åkrar. Detta har revolutionerat matproduktionen men samtidigt gjort landskapet mer likartat. Övergödning av vattendrag, utsläpp av växthusgaser och förlust av biologisk mångfald är endast några av de negativa miljöeffekter som det moderna jordbruket har resulteraThis study was done to get an understanding of how tillage effects biodiversity in agriculture soil. Therefore, this study focused on the soil organisms and various physical and chemical processes that can affect them. Soil organisms are crucial to agricultural landscapes as they perform biological processes that improve soil structure, nutrient cycling and decomposition. To ensure food produc

Du kommer sakna skolmaten när du blir äldre. Detta är något som jag tror många av oss fått höra någon gång under sin uppväxt. Väl i tonåren gällde det att vara rebellisk, finna sig själv och våga tänja på gränser. Det var mer eller mindre även underförstått att skolmaten var något som man inte tyckte om. Men ju längre åren går, desto mer vill jag tro att man inser att skolmaten, den var nog faktisThis study examines the perception and acceptance of the Swedish tax paid school meals, its sustainability aspects and what factors that affect the students in their food choices in the municipality of Ängelholm from a student perspective. The guidelines for school meals in Sweden is for it to be healthy but in recent years also more sustainable. A common way to enact upon the sustainable factor i

Rap music has been controversial ever since the music genre took off. Themes such as violence, drugs and aggression have been themes portrayed in the genre since a long time ago. The purpose of this study was to study How do Swedish rap artists within the gangster rap scene describe their everyday life through their lyrics? By analyzing ten different artists and a total of 76 songs through a thema

Human beings in modern society spend more than 90% of their time indoors to live, work, and socialize. To improve health, quality of life and task performance, integrative lighting is designed to give the right light at the right time at the eye to stimulate circadian entrainment. Current designs for integrative lighting consider rooms as black boxes, overlooking the contribution of daylight to th

Sedan människans gryning har vi utforskat vår omgivning med hjälp av våra fem sinnen. Med allt mer avancerade mätinstrument har vår förståelse för universums natur expanderat. Vi har kunnat sondera himlakroppar flera ljusår från vår galax med teleskop och undersöka vår cellulära uppbyggnad med mikroskop. Både teleskop och mikroskop använder ljuspartiklar som antingen reflekteras eller sänds ut fråTo better understand collectivity in high energy physics, the heavy-ion collision model Angantyr was developed to be included in the event generator Pythia. In this model, proton-proton collision phenomenology is extrapolated to heavy-ion collisions without assuming a thermal plasma for particle production. Hence, this model may help disentangle possible thermal and non-thermal phenomena contribut

This study investigates interculturality in health communication and deriving power relations. The Bilharzia Storytelling Lab 2022 in Kigali is a health communication program devoting significant attention to the role of culture and representing a new approach to respectful health communication practices. Exploring the Storytelling Lab methodology and its roles provides insights into the innovativ

In the rapidly-evolving technological landscape of today, even established research and development (R&D) companies are struggling to keep pace with the demands of innovation. It creates difficulties for small-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with especially limited resources to maintain competitiveness within the market. This study argues that open innovation practices can provide a solution t

This study aims to contribute with knowledge regarding how street-level bureaucrats within the police and the social services in Malmö experience their discretion and conditions for information exchange for crime prevention purposes among children. The study also aims to examine what standards for working methods, and the discussion between privacy protection and law enforcement, that can be ident

The urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products. This thesis investigates the potential of CCU in

Artificial neural networks is a powerful tool for classifying and identifying patterns in large amounts of data. One of the possible tasks of these networks is classification of data into categories. LDMX is a fixed target experiment that is designed to search for light dark matter particles using missing energy and momentum of electrons passing through and scattering of a target. In the current d
