Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur tonåriga pojkar (årskurs 1 på gymnasiet) beskriver och upplever välbefinnande, vilken roll olika faktorer spelar för deras välbefinnande och vilka strategier de själva erfarit kan hjälpa dem vid utmanande situationer. Detta undersöktes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio pojkar från en gymnasieskola. Materialet kodades och analyserades med Interpretative

The following paper illuminates the difficulties that people with criminal background may experience in the process of labour market (re)integration. While employment for offenders released from prison is important to avoid former criminal lifestyle, previous literature shows that offenders released from prison face various difficulties to secure a job. Drawing on theories on stigmatization, l

With the ambition to contribute to a sustainable development, this project started with aim to recycle fiber boards. The idea behind the project is to take lose fibers that come from waste product or simply just worn out fiber boards, and make them into new fiber boards. In order to achieve this, a binder is needed to hold the boards together. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate different binde

With increasing age, it is common to experience decline in some cognitive abilities. To some degree, this is a natural cause of changes in structure and function in the brain. However, the cognitive decline can sometimes be extensive and develop into Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia that heavily impacts the life quality of the affected individual. Various approaches to curb the deve

The results of the interview study shows that the concrete suppliers are much more prepared

This study aimed to understand the exploitation of bacterial strains used in various combinations to assist in the fermentation of seaweeds. The topic stems from the need to consider the valorization of seaweeds due to their abundance in natural habitats as well as their use as an innovative and sustainable food. Fermentation is a traditional method that has been utilized for food preservation. It

Att människor påverkas av de gestaltningar som media förmedlar är allmänt känt. Detta påverkar bland annat brottsoffer. Ur ett historiskt perspektiv har brottsoffrets roll i samhället förändrats från att knappt existera till att lyftas fram och synliggöras. Att kartlägga olika mediers gestaltning av brottsoffer över tid är därför av intresse ur flera perspektiv. Syftet med denna studie är att bidr

Syftet med denna rapport är att ta reda på vad kontorets framtida roll kommer att innebära för individen och organisationen. Nya behov växer däremot fram i takt med att omvärlden förändras, därför kommer även rapporten att syfta till hur dagens kontor kan anpassas genom ett cirkulärt perspektiv, i takt med att behoven förändras. Genom en identifiering av framtidens behov och en kartläggning över hThe purpose of this report is to find out what the future role of the office will mean for the individual and the organization. New needs, on the contrary, emerge as the world around us changes, therefore the report will also focus on how today's offices can be adapted through a circular perspective, as needs changes. By identifying the needs of the future and assess how adaptable today's

The purpose of this thesis is to present a more complete picture of Chile’s water management system in terms of the three pillars of sustainable development, namely regarding the social, environmental, and economic outcomes of the 1981 Water Code. The contribution of this research relies in the understanding of the law’s reproduction of socio- ecological inequalities and in the investigation of a

The aim of this thesis project was to develop or lay the base for an innovative oat and chickpea based fermented product. From a previous thesis project, Glucanova AB had developed an oat and chickpea base called OatChic®. The goal of this thesis project was to evaluate the effects of fermentation on OatChic® by characterizing prototypes based on the beta-glucan content, phytic acid content, sugar

Informationsteknologi och informationssystem spelar en viktig roll, både i våra professionella- såväl som vardagliga liv. Trots det finns det en tydlig underrepresentation av kvinnor inom tech- och IT branschen, speciellt i de mer tekniska rollerna. Forskningen inom informationssystem (IS) visar att vanliga hinder för kvinnor inom tech-branschen är könsfördomar såsom att kvinnor är sämre på teknol

Detta examensarbete har utförts i syfte att jämföra hur fyra olika databashanterare (DBMS) presterar inom ett begränsat antal områden för att därigenom dra slutsatser kring vilken som fungerar bäst för att lagra data om rabatter på IKEA. De databashanterare som testas är MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j och PostgreSQL. För att åstadkomma en jämförelse utfördes en form av testning - en benchmark. BenchmarkeThis thesis has been conducted in order to compare how four different database management systems (DBMSs) perform in a limited number of areas, in order to draw conclusions about which one works best for storing discount data at IKEA. The DBMSs being evaluated are MongoDB, MariaDB, Neo4j and PostgreSQL. To enable a comparison, a form of testing was performed - a benchmark. The benchmarking consist

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if female-led countries fared the Covid-19 pandemic differently from male-led countries. To do so, I rely on a pooled OLS regression model, using data from 189 countries between January 2020 to March 2022. My results show that countries with female leaders have significantly fewer cases and deaths of Covid-19 than countries with male leaders. This is found

Contactless fluid surface velocity measurements with radar technology presents novel ways of determining fluid flow. The Acconeer A121 sensor is used, which is a pulsed coherent 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar, with high accuracy and low energy consumption. Fluid flow data is obtained from three different sites; in the Acconeer lab, a lab in the UK, and in three sewage pipes of VA SYD. Initially, dat

This research carried out an assessment on the socioeconomic factors related to the use of violence (psychological aggression and physical assault) against children within the family context, and the extent to which childrearing patterns can be transmitted across generations. The sample under study consisted of 13,205 observations from mothers in all regions of Peru and their children aged 1 to 5

The aim of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of brand activism by looking into existing and novel dimensions on which consumers base their validation and opinion of brands engaging in socio-political discourse. This dissertation followed a dual-analysis approach in which both qualitative and quantitative research was conducted. This study drew on socio-political activism theories, consum

Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). Currently, the European net land carbon sink is decreasing largely due to forest ageing (Pilli et al., 2022),

With the large expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar, the stability and quality of electrical power can be affected. The transition towards large-scale wind power offers many opportunities to maintain stability by using power converters to create synthetic inertia. At request of Sweco Energy, this thesis shows the effect and importance of synthetic inertia used in wind powe
