Trots att samhället idag rör sig mot ökad jämställdhet kvarstår stora ekonomiska olikheter mellan män och kvinnor. Att spara och investera har en central roll för privatpersoners ekonomiska stabilitet och inom finansiella marknader har tidigare studier visat att män och kvinnor agerar annorlunda. För att förstå hur dessa olikheter ser ut och hur investeringsbeteende skiljer sig mellan män och kvin

Work, as stated in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, is a human right. In this thesis we unearth the discursive foundations of the right to work and explore the right through a queer, feminist and Marxist dialogue analysis based on the books The problem with work by Kathi Weeks (2011), Caliban and the Witch by Silvia Federici (2009), and What’s the Use? by Sara Ah

Bygg- och anläggningsindustrin har en betydande påverkan på Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. För att uppnå FN:s globala mål krävs tydliga förändringar. Broar som byggs idag kräver mer material än broar som byggdes för 50 år sedan, trots att brotyperna är likadana. Tvärkraftsarmering i form av skjuvbyglar är något som konstruktörer generellt sett strävar efter att minimera av miljömässiga, arbetsmThe national construction and civil engineering industry contributes significantly to Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. Meeting the United Nations’ global sustainability goals will require intelligible, measurable and structural changes within the industry. Notably, modern bridge designs often demand greater material use than those built half a century ago, albeit the structural types are f

Syfte. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur förtjockningsmedel upplevs av friska individer, med fokus på uppfattningar som kan indikera psykosocial påverkan utöver de fysiologiska effekterna. Genom detta belystes potentiella konsekvenser som förtjockningsmedel orsakar hälsorelaterad livskvalitet. Metod. 75 deltagare från fyra olika studieprogram på Medicinska Fakulteten vid Lunds universitet rPurpose. The purpose of the study was to examine how fluid thickener is perceived by healthy individuals, focusing on perceptions which, other than the physiological, can indicate psychosocial impact. Through this, potential consequences on health-related quality of life that thickeners can cause are illustrated. Method. Seventy-five participants from four education programs at the Faculty of Medi

In recent years, dating apps have become a dominant way for young people to initiate romantic connections. However, these platforms are embedded in broader societal transformations marked by emotional detachment, commodification, and accelerated life rhythms. This thesis explores how such dynamics shape romantic relationships for young heterosexual women in Copenhagen. Specifically, it investigate

This master’s thesis explores municipal and civil society refugee support practices in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany during the current crisis of insecurity. Centering the question of how local-level support can oppose an excluding global precarization of refugees, the thesis works with an experiential puzzle to explore the subjective views of civil society and municipal actors in the realm of m

Bakgrund: Dysfagi kan leda till allvarliga komplikationer såsom aspirationspneumoni och malnutrition som kan medföra högre mortalitet. Det är vanligt att logopeder rekommenderar förtjockningsmedel för att minska aspirationsrisken, men evidensen gällande att förtjockad dryck förebygger aspirationspneumoni är begränsad. Flera studier har visat att följsamheten till åtgärden är låg. Åtgärden kan dessBackground: Dysphagia related complications such as aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition can increase the risk of mortality. Speech and language pathologists (SLPs) commonly recommend thickeners to reduce the risk of aspiration, however the evidence regarding thickened liquids (TL) preventing aspiration pneumonia is limited. Several studies suggest that patient compliance is low. Moreover, the in

Achieving pure protein with high enzymatic activity for research and practical teaching purposes is essential. In this study the protein BoGal36A was purified using cells or lysate obtained from three different expression methods. The expression was performed using bioreactor, shaking flasks and a prepared lysate of cells grown in shaking flasks at Lund protein Production Platform (LP3; (kindly pr

Endotherms are restricted in their activity by the amount of heat they can lose, as hyperthermia can be lethal. As we are expecting increasing ambient temperatures on earth it is crucial to investigate how different species are affected by heat. 28 male captive-bred zebra finches were forced to exercise in a hop-flutter wheel in different ambient temperatures (10, 20, 30 and 35 °C). Body temperatu

Signal integration and cues weighting during orientation in insects is an open scientific question. This study focuses on understanding how dung beetles weigh sun cues of different light intensities. Alongside this, my study also tries to investigate potential behavioral effects of AprilTags application, which has great potential in future studies in this field, on beetles’ orientation. The South

Region Skåne bedriver ambulansverksamhet med den privata aktören PreMedic och den offentliga motsvarigheten Medicinsk service. Denna uppsats undersöker om det finns skillnader i prestation mellan PreMedic och Medicinsk service när det gäller Region Skånes två uppsatta mål för ambulansverksamheten. Skillnader i hur väl Region Skånes mål för ambulanssjukvården uppfylls har välfärdsimplikationer, eft

Tänk på en ödla som behöver gömma sig från en fågel, annars blir den uppäten. Det skulle vara klokt för ödlan att ha en färg som gör att den inte syns så bra i landskapet. Tyvärr är naturliga landskap sällan enhetliga — bakgrunden ser olika ut på olika platser. Ödlan måste alltså bestämma sig om den ska ha en färg som är specialiserad för en viss typ av bakgrund, eller en färg som ger ett hyfsat bIn a changing heterogeneous landscape camouflage becomes a less effective defence for a mobile prey item because the prey needs to move across backgrounds where it is more visible to the predator. Often, some subhabitats host more resources than others, adding an additional complexity. The prey can thus either try to generally match many subhabitats or specialize to one habitat type, often resulti

Social sustainability has increasingly become a central objective in Swedish urban planning. However, previous research highlights that its vague definition has led to diverse interpretations of its meaning and thus varying efforts in planning. This study examines how “Fokus Skärholmen” has implemented social sustainability in its detailed planning, focusing on physical measures linked to the conc

Cloudbursts and flooding that results from such intense rainfall constitute a growing risk as climate change intensifies precipitation patterns. This is a growing issue that municipalities can no longer ignore; they must actively address it. The issue of cloudbursts is highly relevant given the future climate risks we face, and it is important that Swedish cities are prepared. In this context, the

Title: TAKT Production System for Assembly (including material supply) of Crushing Equipment at Sandvik Problem formulation: A major part of Sandvik’s production system is driven by forecasting. While this method provides a structured approach for anticipating future demand, it introduces several operational challenges that disrupt the capacity of the equipment assembly line and flexibility. Thes

This study investigates how strategic communication can be utilized to reduce the risk behavior of railway track trespassing (“spårspring”) in Sweden, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of three selected risk communication campaigns: Klara, färdiga (Sweden), Sett grenser - Sei ifra! (Norway), and THINK! (UK). The research focuses on investigating the communicative strategies and thematic

This thesis critically examines the Swedish ‘Security Zones’ legislation, the associated governmental discourse on organised criminality, and their implications for equality and racial justice. Through a critical discourse analysis, the thesis illustrates how the extended discretion afforded through the legislation facilitates law enforcement’s capacity for racial profiling and discrimination. It
