This thesis applies an ethnographic approach to investigate museum visit practices, which shape user experiences in a design museum. Specifically, it explores individual users’ meaning making processes through the embodiment of thoughts and lived experiences. To frame the study, it takes on a phenomenological approach to investigate how the body, self, space, and objects relate with each other in

MER FÖR MINDRE – FRAMTIDENS LÄKEMEDELSFRAMSTÄLLNING KAN SNART VARA HÄR Kemiindustrin har traditionellt varit något av boven i dramat när det kommer till negativ miljöpåverkan. Men nu utvecklas nya resurssnålare framställningsprocesser för läkemedel som kan leda till billigare mediciner, med mindre miljöpåverkan i framtiden. Välden står idag inför stora utmaningar när det kommer till miljön, dels Recent advances in upstream production of biopharmaceuticals have not yet been matched by equivalent advances in the downstream processing. As chromatography is currently the primary downstream processing method in production of biopharmaceuticals new methods for multicolumn processes are being developed. This paper investigates one such method, the three-column periodic counter-current (3C-PCC) p

In this study, vacuum impregnation (VI) was used to investigate the effect of different solutions: sucrose 21 % (w/v), calcium lactate 1 % (w/v), ascorbic acid 0.1 % (w/v), and GABA 0.075 % (w/v) on atmospheric composition, color, and shelf life of packed baby spinach leaves. VI was performed at two different temperatures: 21 C and 7.5 C. The packed, impregnated leaves were stored for 8 days at 21Vegetables and fruits hold a vast amount of air within their structure. Vacuum impregnation is a process used to remove the air from plant tissues and replace it with an external solution. For impregnation, vacuum is applied to the plant tissue helping air to escape through the plant´s pores. Then by restoring the atmospheric pressure, the solution surrounding the plant will penetrate the plant ti

As online shopping continues to increase in popularity, more and more pressure is put on businesses to reevaluate which of their services that can be sold from a web- site. While the telecom market for businesses still only use expert salespersons to describe and put a price on their services, innovative companies such as Telavox are looking into new ways of exposing more of their information onli

Numerous papers and studies have shown that the rainforests are experiencing a decline in biodiversity. The rainforests are getting depleted of larger primates and this poses a problem for the trees as many of them rely on primates and other seed dispersers to distribute their seeds. These empty forests are spreading, but does that mean that everything is hopeless? This study aims to investigate t

I den internationella kontexten är arbetet med att ta fram åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism högt prioriterat. År 2015 antogs EU:s fjärde penningtvättsdirektiv på grundval av artikel 114 FEUF. Direktivet har som mål att skydda unionens finansiella system genom att förebygga, upptäcka och utreda penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism genom användandet av ett riskbaserat föThe international efforts to develop anti-money laundering and terrorist financing measures are highly prioritized. By 2015, the Fourth European Anti Money Laundering Directive was adopted on the basis of Article 114 TFEU. The objective of the Directive is to protect the Union's financial system by preventing, detecting and investigating money laundering and terrorist financing through the use

The aim of this thesis has been to analyze the case of Google Spain v. AEDP, and the legal impacts of that particular case. One of the most important outcomes of the case was the establishment of the principle of the right to be forgotten. The definition of the principle of the right to be forgotten is to grant a data subject the right to have his or her personal information deleted and thus, maki

Sedan januari 2017 bedriver Riksbanken ett projekt vars syfte är att utreda huruvida digitala kontanter vore ett lämpligt komplement på den svenska betalningsmarknaden. Inom ramen för Riksbankens projekt kallas dessa digitala kontanter för e-kronor. Eftersom en övervägande andel av svenska betalningar redan idag görs elektroniskt kan det framstå som obegripligt varför Sverige alls skulle vara i bThe Swedish central bank started a project in January 2017 with the objective to explore whether digital cash would be relevant to the Swedish payment infrastructure. The central bank digital cash is referred to as ”e-kronor”. It may seem peculiar why Sweden would be in a need for digital cash since the current adoption of electronic payment is very high. A simplified explanation of the reason f

60 % OF YOUNG SWEDISH PEOPLE IN THE AGES 18-25 ARE WORRIED ABOUT NOT SUCCEEDING IN LIFE. 72 % FEEL THERE IS AN IDEAL. 89 % OF THE WOMEN ARE STRESSED ABOUT LIVING UP TO THE IDEAL, 66 % OF THE MEN. THIS PROJECT IS AN INVESTIGATION OF PERFORMANCE ANXIETY. We live in a society where performances are valued so high that we believe it defines who we are. And for some reason it is okay to talk about inj

Konkurrensen är hög på den alltmer homogeniserade retail-modebranschen vilket kräver att företagen differentierar sig gentemot sina konkurrenter. Företagen fokuserar ofta på att stärka sitt varumärke genom att försöka omvandla frontlinjepersonalen till fullgoda varumärkeambassadörer. Frontlinjepersonalen har det huvudsakliga ansvaret för kundens uppfattning av varumärket i servicemötet. Därför för

Our paper starts with a reflection on how the classic left and right-wing scale has become less relevant in modern politics. Instead, we argue that completely new divisions in society are being formed. Examples are issues of globalization, immigration and identity. These are questions often associated with the other axis of the political scale - conservative or progressive. To examine this in prac

Förlossningsarbetet har beskrivits som stressintensivt, och förlossningsbarnmorskor anses behöva mer stöd från sjukvårdsledningen. Flera forskare har argumenterat att organisatorisk ledning har svårt att definiera arbetsrelaterad stress och att investera i rätt interventionssatsningar för personalen efter deras reella behov. Mer pragmatisk forskning ute i sjukvården har efterfrågats. Första stegetWorking in labour units has been described as strenuous, and midwives are considered to need enhanced support from management. Several researches have argued that management however struggle to define occupational stress and invest in proper interventions for the employees based on their actual needs. More pragmatic research in the field has been requested. The first step forward is arguably to pr

Bakgrund: Kommunikationen vid palliativ vård kan vara en tuff utmaning, då palliativ vård ofta är ett känsligt ämne. Effektiv kommunikation mellan familj och sjukvårdspersonal beskrivs som en essentiell faktor för att bedriva god palliativ vård. För att kunna bedriva en god palliativ vård är det av vikt att ha förståelse för anhörigas upplevelser. Syfte: Belysa anhörigas upplevelser av sjukvårdspe

The aim of this study has been to investigate how Schofield and Beek’s five caregiving dimensions can create an understanding about the importance of the attachment for a foster placement. The reason these five dimensions were developed was to research the parenthood of foster carers based on the attachment theory. Therefore these became suitable as analytic tools for this study. The methodologica

The question this study sought out to answer was: What is the possible correlation between high and low imports of virtual water and degree of securitization in Egypt and Israel? Virtual water, e.g. the water embedded in goods and services, can be imported to water scarce countries to mitigate the domestic water use. For the years 1996-2005 Israel imported a great amount of virtual water compared

Marknaden för brobyggnad i Sverige är idag så god att företagen tvingas tacka nej till förfrågningar på grund av tidsbrist. Det är svårt att rekrytera nya konsulter eftersom det råder brist på arbetskraft med rätt kompetens, för att undvika att tacka nej till arbete är en potentiell lösning på tidsbristen att effektivisera arbetet. I samarbete med Skanska Tekniks brogrupp i Malmö utreder därför deThe bridge construction industry in Sweden is prospering. The situation is such that companies are forced to decline work due to lack of time. In addition, the recruitment of new consultants has been difficult owing to a shortage of labour with the right competency. To avoid the situation where companies are forced to decline new projects due to lack of resources, focus should be on improving the

Populism has become a political catchphrase across the world, spanning across the entire political spectrum in various forms. In Spain, the left-wing populist party Podemos is the most significant case, adopting a post-marxist perspective less focused on the economy than orthodox marxism. In light of this, this thesis examines their main economic program through use of Fairclough’s Critical Discou

Foreign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a domestic corporation invests in another company in a foreign country. There are two main entry modes through which corporations can invest into the foreign country, merger and acquisitions (M&A) or greenfield investments. According to endogenous growth theory, FDI in either form should have a significant effect on economic growth in the host countr
