By analysing both the discursive and practical impact of SDG4, this thesis has studied if an

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vad sjuksköterskor värdesätter mest, trygghet eller flexibilitet. Studien vill även undersöka hur sjuksköterskor förhandlar trygghet och flexibilitet mot riskerna som kan tillkomma med sin anställningsform. Varför väljer vissa sjuksköterskor att jobba inom bemanningsbranschen och vad är det som får andra att stannar kvar inom regionen? Studien baseras på el

The scope of this master thesis is the scientific publishing in Social Science at Lund University. By combining bibliometric studies and qualitative interviews, this thesis investigates how scholars in Social Sciences at Lund University respond to performance- based evaluation. The aim is to explore how research practices, publication patterns and disciplinary norms are affected by the increased r

The main aim of this article is to investigate the application of the Nudge theory within the field of sustainable mobility as a strategy to encourage more use of sustainable modes of transport. This line of research is of particular importance due to the high share of emissions in the transportation sector, which has been increasing over the years. Although there have been pro-environment policie

Hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet i Sverige står för närvarande inför stora utmaningar, särskilt när det gäller stigande sjukvårdskostnader, en åldrande befolkning och en ökning av kroniska sjukdomar. För att övervinna dessa utmaningar behöver hälso- och sjukvårdssystemet innovativa lösningar som kan ge kostnadseffektiv vård med bibehållen kvalitetsstandard. Lösningar med Internet of Medical Things (IoThe healthcare system in Sweden is currently facing major challenges, particularly with regards to rising healthcare costs, an aging population, and an increase in chronic diseases. To overcome these challenges, the healthcare system requires innovative solutions that can provide cost-effective care while maintaining quality standards. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solutions have the potential

Från IgG till IgA: En omvandling som hämmade fagocytos av SARS-CoV-2 spike-kulor Sedan slutet av 2019 har COVID-19 pandemin orskat förödande konskekvenser för både människa och hälsa, med miljontals döda och en djup socioekonimsk inverkan. Boven bakom denna pandemi är viruset Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2, eller SARS-CoV-2. Ett av våra viktigaste skydd mot SARS-CoV-2 är antikro

Civil liberties and freedoms have diminished globally due to the last decades’ deepened authoritarianism. Concurrently, mobilizations countering this development have decreased. Hong Kong represents one of the cases where anti-authoritarian resistance has been sustained, which sparks a question regarding what motivates people in expanding authoritarian spaces to engage in contentious politics. Thi

Unlocking the hidden connection: How asthma gets into your head Have you ever wondered if asthma, a common lung condition, could have effects beyond just your breathing? Recent scientific studies are revealing a fascinating connection between asthma and the brain, bringing to light an unexpected link that has puzzled researchers for years. Asthma is an allergic disease characterized by lung inf

Det grova våldet har ökat i Sverige och inom politiken pratas det mycket om vad som behöver göras, vilken som är den mest effektiva insatsen och hur man bäst bekämpar brott. Vi intresserar oss därmed för att ta reda på hur olika aktörer beskriver och tolkar det brottsförebyggande arbetet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera tolkningspraktikerna av det brottsförebyggande arbetet i Helsing

Denna kandidatuppsats forskningsfokus har varit digitalisering och hållbar utveckling. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kommuner i Skåne använder digitalisering för hållbarhet med avsikt att kunna föreslå förbättringsförslag. För att uppfylla syftet med forskningsstudien har en kvalitativ forskningsstudie genomförts, där insamlade data från semi-strukturerade intervjuer med kommunanställda

Samtidigt som genomsnittsåldern för världens befolkning ökar, fortsätter digitaliseringen i rasande takt. Digitaliseringen bidrar till väldigt mycket positivt i människors liv, men tenderar att utelämna vissa slutanvändare om inte deras aspekter tas med i designprocessen tidigt.Every year, the average age of the population is increasing as people live longer and fewer children are born. With age, it is not uncommon for cognitive abilities to deteriorate, affecting the ability to learn new things and process new information. As digitalization continues, some people are left behind and thus experience difficulties in using the newly developed digital environments. This is

Indigenous peoples are one of the most marginalized social groups in Ecuador. Emerging as a new actor contesting this situation, indigenous youth defenders (IYD) appear to be leading initiatives that promote indigenous rights in the country. Thus, grounded in Social Movements Theory, this thesis aims to explore the perceived role of IYD in broadening the promotion of indigenous rights and identiti

This research was done to analyse how different heat treatment processing conditions influence the properties of milk. The focus was on high temperature heat treatment, namely extended shelf life (ESL) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. The milk processing was performed in the range of 124 - 143 ℃ for 1 and 4 seconds. The analyses that were done involved nutritional and technological propertie

Behandling av kroniska tarmsjukdomar Är PTPN23 lösningen vi har väntat på? Alla har vi sannolikt någon gång lidit av magproblem i form av smärta eller diarré. Att drabbas av kroniska tarmsjukdomar där besvären utgör en vardag är ett globalt problem, och trots att sjukdomarna är vanliga finns idag inget botemedel. I den här studien har vi undersökt om en eliminering av molekylen PTPN23 från makrofThe gastrointestinal tract encounters foreign antigens, commensal bacteria and nutrients on a daily basis. Under steady state conditions, a regulatory immune system maintains gut homeostasis. However, disruption of the balance between regulatory components and defeating invading pathogens leads to overshooting inflammatory reactions that can culminate in chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammati

Hur kan ägg hjälpa mot barncancer? Neuroblastom är en barncancerform. Bristen på sjukdomsmodeller har saktat ner framstegen och möjligheterna att förstå hur sjukdomen uppstår. Här kan vi presentera en människo-kycklingchimär som modell för att studera neuroblastom genom att använda embryon från hönsägg tillsammans med mänskliga celler. Neuroblastom (NB) är en cancerform som oftast drabbar småbaNeuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer contributing to several cases of cancer related deaths in children every year. The oncogene MYCN is known to be related to a worse outcome in patients with NB and is found in approximately 20 % of the cases. MYCN is controlled during normal development, however in NB it is dysregulated. The understanding of NB has been hampered due to the lack of embryonic

Problem description Multiple cases show that companies can improve performance after implementing an AutoStore system. However, research on optimizing the design and how to successfully control the AutoStore system is limited. Furthermore, studies focusing on optimizing operations around Robot-based Compact Storage and Retrieval Systems (RCSRS) in general, are important for the development of ope

Since the 1950's, mass tourism has become a considerable part of modern western culture. Examining where, why and how people have traveled can tell us a lot about people's habits and cultural frames of reference. Yet, the area of tourism history is fairly uncharted, with travelogs being one of the more prevalent objects of interest for academic research. Research focused on travel guides a
