This thesis examines queerness in the poetry of John Donne by re-examining same-gender desire in his poetry, proposing metaphysical poetry as having points of similarity with queering strategies and queer theory, and exploring contextual and historical tensions within and around Donne’s body of works. The thesis closely analyses poems which have previously been discussed as queer, such as “Sapho t
The objective of this study was to quantify swelling in gasket materials to better predict the gaskets life span in heat exchangers. Alfa Laval produces plate heat exchangers, which are a common unit within the process industry. There are different types of plate heat exchangers, and one type is sealed with gaskets. Two common types of rubber used as gasket materials are EPDM and NBR which are stu
The objective of this thesis is to analyze how typhoon response operations in the Philippines were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This multi-hazard scenario is not a singular case, many places around the world have been exposed to similar dilemmas of natural hazards occurring simultaneously as the pandemic. This study was carried out with the intention of better understanding the interplay of
An adaptive memory system has to support both the encoding of individual episodes as well as generalization and inference across several episodes. The latter of these two goals is achieved by memory integration in which a memory representation is updated to accommodate new information. However, the circumstances leading to either separate encoding or generalization are still unknown. Building on l
Nationella End of Waste-kriterier – ett verktyg för ökad återvinning av bygg- och rivningsavfall För att skapa en hållbar utveckling är det viktigt att skapa giftfria cirkulära materialströmmar, där bygg- och rivningsavfall inte är något undantag. Nationella End of Waste-kriterier (EoW-kriterier) för specifika materialströmmar är ett verktyg som gör produkter utav avfall. Genom detta arbete visasThis study contributes with knowledge of effective strategies in the conversion towards a circular economy. Since construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the largest waste streams in the EU, there is a need to recycle the material. End of Waste criteria (EoW criteria), which specify when certain waste ceases to be waste, is a possible way of increasing the recycling rates. This study com
A global surge in the number of regional trade agreements has taken place since the 1990s. Their impact on the trade patterns and development of participating countries has been a frequent topic of debate. In this study I analyse the impact of joining a regional trade on the trade patterns of African countries. I find that on average regional trade agreements increase the intra-regional exports be
This thesis calculates the bremsstrahlung correction beyond the soft-photon approximation for the decay ω → π0 l+ l- . The effect of the radiative corrections on the extraction of the transition form factor from data is investigated. Four different form-factor mod- els are used to compute corrections: vector-meson dominance, lowest-meson dominance, tree-level, and two-hadron saturation. The experi
This study examines the implementation of circular economy principles in a company operating in a developing country. Focus is put on the start-up phase of the company, where we seek to understand the entrepreneurial motive behind implementing circular, sustainable practices in the infant stage of the company. Furthermore, the methods used to construct a circular, sustainable business model are in
Interaktion med naturen, särskilt i städer, är viktig för både fysiskt och psykiskt välbefinnande och har många fördelar. Men i takt med att städer fortsätter att växa och förtätas minskar tillgången till natur i stadsmiljöer. Att maximera stadsgrönskan genom småskaliga gröna element är därför en metod som många städer har använt sig av. Syftet med denna uppsats är att förstå och utforska hur stadInteraction with nature, especially in cities, is important for both physical and mental wellbeing and comes with many benefits. Unfortunately, as cities continue to grow and densify access to nature in urban environments is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Cities have therefore had to turn to methods to maximize urban greenery through small-scale green features. The aim of this thesis is
Syftet med examensarbetet är att se vilka insatser som genomförs av projektledningen för att öka effektiviteten samt hur projektledningens insatser påverkar välmåendet hos medarbetarna. Arbetet är en kvalitativ studie där en fallstudie har genomförts tillsammans med en kompletterande intervjustudie. Fallstudien har genomförts på sex avslutade byggprojekt i Skåne där personer inom projektorganisatiThe purpose of this master thesis is to examine which project management initiatives increase the effectivity and how the project management initiatives affect the employee’s well-being. The master thesis is a qualitative case study and interview study. In the case study employees from six different construction projects in Scania have been interviewed. The respondents were project managers, produ
Women’s labour force participation has historically been impeded by their traditional role of taking care of children, a problem that has been reduced with the emergence of formal daycare. However, one problem that remains is that many children in Sweden still do not participate in preschool. Among these children, there is an overrepresentation of foreign-born children and children from low-income
Energieffektivisering av bostäder och lokaler i Sverige är nödvändig för att de globala och nationella miljömålen ska uppnås. Bostads- och servicesektorn står för närmre 40% av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Genom tekniska lösningar och beteendeförändringar kan energianvändningen minskas (Naturvårdsverket, 2020). Målet med denna rapport är att undersöka hur brukarna påverkar den totala energian
This study aims to expand the understanding of corporate governance's impact on earnings management linked to companies' financial position and size. The study is based on a deductive approach through three hypothesis formulations. A quantitative strategy is applied where secondary data from 2015-2019 have been collected on companies in the Netherlands and Sweden. A regression analysis is

Sensorisk beartbetningssensitivitet (SPS) är ett personlighetsdrag som tros återfinnas hos ca 15 - 20% av populationen. Personlighetsdraget karaktäriseras av djup bearbetning, förhöjd mottaglighet och medvetenhet om både yttre och inre stimuli. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka högkänsliga personers (HSP) upplevelse av personlighetsdraget SPS. Tidigare forskning har föreslagit att HSP är särSensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a personality trait believed to be found in about 15 - 20% of the human population. It’s characterized by deep processing, enhanced responsiveness and awareness of external as well as internal stimuli. The aim of this study was to examine the subjective experiences of highly sensitive people (HSP). Research suggests that influences from the social environmen
Introduktion: Diabetes mellitus är en obotlig, utbredd sjukdom som ökar globalt. I Sverige är cirka 50000 personer diagnostiserade med diabetes mellitus typ 1, runt 7000 av dessa är barn och ungdomar. Diabetes mellitus är en sjukdom som kräver mycket egenvård. Att leva med diabetes mellitus typ 1 kan påverka patientens mentala- och psykosociala hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är at

Den fysiska delen av att spela ett brassinstrument jämförs ibland med idrottsutövande i termer av muskelstyrka och uthållighet. Precis som för en idrottsutövare kan uppkomsten av en skada bli förödande för en musikers karriär. Med anledning av detta väcks flera frågor om vilka arbetssätt som kan användas i undervisningen för att förebygga skador samt vad som går att göra om skadeförloppet är långtThe physical aspects of playing the trumpet are sometimes compared to practicing sports in terms of strength and stamina. Just like injuries may cause big problems to athletes, an injury could be devastating to a musician's career. With this taken into consideration, several questions come to my mind about which teaching methods that can be used to prevent injuries and what a teacher can do if
The purpose of this project is to investigate hole transport in p-type quantum dots formed in GaSb nanowire and operating as single hole transistors. The individual and controlled hole-spin confinement in such system yields a variety of proposed applications for spintronics or quantum computation. In contrast to more conventional n-type material system, however, p-type quantum devices benefit from
