In the hectic and stressful climate of our more or less urbanized lives, it can be easy to neglect our surroundings and forget about our origins. The experiences and knowledge that is obtained from nature is a thing of absence in more and more people’s lives. Främja is a project about helping children to reconnect with nature and be present outdoors, through their personal gear. For children espe

The present thesis suggests a new type of theory from which to analyse metaphorical language. This new theory is motivated by shortcomings from the available theories (most notably Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Embodied Metaphor Theory) in analysing metaphors in poetry. The thesis uses a sample of metaphorical poems to highlight three key issues that the available theories have in accounting for

Penningtvätt inom försäkringsbranschen sker genom att tillgångar, som härrör från brottslig verksamhet, investeras i en försäkring vilket gör det svårt att spåra tillgångarnas ursprung. När pengarna sedan betalas ut till försäkringstagaren, eller förmånstagaren, förvandlas de illegalt förvärvade tillgångarna till vita pengar med legitim status. Penningtvätt utgör ett stort problem för EU:s finanMoney laundering in the insurance industry takes place by investing in insurance with assets from criminal activities, which makes it difficult to trace the origin of the money. Once the money is paid to policyholders or beneficiaries, the illegally acquired assets are transformed into laundered money. Money laundering is a major problem for the EU’s financial system why the regulations against

A spoon full of insulin helps blood sugar go down Glucose is the primary source of fuel our bodies extract from carbohydrates to power our cells. Once glucose is released into the blood stream, pancreas reacts by releasing insulin into the blood stream. Insulin is a hormone which allows cells to uptake glucose after a meal. However, when insulin is not produced by the pancreas, or the cells don’

Like many other terns, European Sandwich Terns (Thalasseus sandvicensis) exhibit a period of post-breeding dispersal before migrating to their wintering grounds in Africa. In order to understand the significance of Danish waters for these movements, I analysed the post-breeding phenology of Sandwich Terns at nine roosting sites and determined their overall distribution throughout Denmark by using

The round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, is a recent intruder of the Baltic Sea, which presumably arrived via the ballast water of travelling ships. The establishment of self-sustaining populations in this ecosystem has had both negative and positive effects on the native species composition within the area. Competition over resources and shelter, spawning interference, and the predation on native

Examensarbetet utfördes i samarbete med Klarna i Giessen med syftet att utveckla en komponent i en del av en webbapplikation som hanterar autentisering. Komponenten skulle interagera med auktoriseringstjänsten försedd från Okta tillsammans med korrekt auktoriseringsflöde som en lösning för tillåten användning av webbapplikationen. Arbetet inleddes med en undersökning av webbapplikationen, bakomligThis thesis was written in collaboration with Klarna in Giessen with the purpose of developing a component to deal with authentication in a web application. The component is intended to interact with the authorization service from Okta with the correct type of authorization flow to allow or disallow access to the web application’s resources. At first, knowledge was gathered regarding the web appli

It is amidst the digital saturation of life, globalised interconnections, and accelerated global AI market growth that we are witnessing today that new complexities and challenges emerge in strategically navigating these environments. This thesis explores the emerging dynamics of strategy and Big Data and Artificial Intelligence through a qualitative research design employing semi-structured exper

The impacts of harbour porpoises by human-made, so called anthropogenic, underwater noise disturbance have been investigated in the past decades. As harbour porpoises are protected under the EU habitat directive, underwater noise management has been proposed as part of conservation efforts. Disturbance of harbour porpoises by ship noise and boat activity has previously been reported to have negati

Röntgenkristallografi är en metod för att strukturbestämma kristaller vilket först användes under 1900-talet av William och Lawrence Braggs. Strukturbestämningen möjliggörs utav att ljus som passerar genom kristaller böjs eller delvis absorberas och ger ett diffraktionsmönster. Om ljuset är av en sådan våglängd så den kan passera mellan atomerna i kristallen, kommer ett diffraktionsmönster med inf

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to create a better understanding of how collective creativity processes are influenced by the shift in space when employees are forced to work from home (WFH). Research Question: How has the enforced WFH affected collective creativity processes? Methodology: The study was conducted by in-depth semi-structured interviews with employees from a large Swedish mult

The aim of this study is to examine children's participation within custody disputes and evaluate if the incorporation of the Convention on the Rights of the Child into Swedish legislation had an impact on district court cases concerning custody disputes, with a solitary focus on article 12. The study will primarily examine if the incorporation, as expected by the government, had an effect on

Bakgrund: År 2019 drabbades 8404 personer i Sverige av plötsligt hjärtstopp, varav 1532 överlevde. Patienter som överlevt ett hjärtstopp upplever generellt försämrad livskvalité. Sjuksköterskan tillhör den profession som tidigt har kontakt med patienten efter ett hjärtstopp och har därav möjligheten att upptäcka eventuella komplikationer hos patienten. Till följd av detta behöver sjuksköterskan ha

Aseptic cartons have laminate packaging material with six layers consisting of paperboard, aluminium (Al) and polyethy

The following bachelor’s thesis has been aimed to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon incels. Over the past decade an increasing number of socially and romantically rejected men have exchanged their experiences, values and the injustices of their existence online - identifying themselves as incels. Through mutual encouragement the participants develop a deep hatred of society in gene

A LASTING ANTI-TUMOR RESPONSE Cancer and its treatment have been a hot topic in research for quite a while. Despite, it being well researched, researchers still have not come up with one magic bullet. Will they ever though, is the question? Or should we be satisfied with several working treatments for individual cancers and patients? If we were only this far, since there are still some cancer typ

The design field is at a determining moment, with socially and environmentally imminent threats in the coming decades. To tackle such complex problems requires extensive and adaptive responses. Design at the intersection of anthropology, sustainability and innovation is the most pressing discussion of our time (Erickson, 2003). A starting point for designers could be to start digging were we st

En obefogad rädsla? Lite tyder på att beteendeeffekter hos den Stora dammsnäckan kan förklaras av det antidepressiva preparatet fluoxetin Vad händer egentligen med ett läkemedel när det har transporterats ut från kroppen? Många ämnen transporteras genom reningsverk till närliggande vattendrag utan att fullständigt nedbrytas och kan då förändra beteendet hos det akvatiska djurliv som kommer i kontThe use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), a group of antidepressants, increases globally resulting in higher concentrations also in wastewater recipients. These concentrations may cause altered behaviour of aquatic organisms and have effects on whole ecosystem level. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess if seven days of exposure to concentrations ranging between 0,
