Sweden has in recent years seen an uprising in gun-use within socioeconomically weak areas and within gangs. Currently, political discourse circle around dissecting the matter of illegal weaponry attempting to find a way in which to curb deadly violence. This study aims to create an understanding of the mechanics between the law and the criminal sub-world with the help of looking at the effects of

Background: The more varied and new challenges that the healthcare sector faces every day, calls for modernization and reorganization. However, the healthcare sector is commonly understood to be slow to adapt to change. It is therefore important to understand and identify the enabling factors for the implementation of innovation, by giving voice to healthcare practitioners concerns, considering th

This study aims to, from a sensemaking perspective, increase knowledge about under what conditions customers of a well-known high-involvement brand remain loyal to said brand post-crisis. It also aims to further contribute an understanding of how the level of brand loyalty affect the conditions under which customers remain loyal to a brand post-crisis. The empirical material is collected through 1

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur unga kvinnor, eller tjejer som jag valt att kalla dem, som studerar på gymnasiets estetiska program upplever sin vardag inom musiken. Musikbranschen är en ojämställd värld och syftet med denna studie är att identifiera skillnader och orättvisor för att musiklärare ska få större möjligheter att arbeta jämställt. Detta jämställdhetsarbete kan bidra till attThe aim of this study is to investigate how young females, or girls as I have choosen to call them, who study at the aesthetic program of high school, experience their everyday lives. The music industry is not equal and the purpose of this study is to identify the differences and injustice, in order to give the music teachers possibilities to work with equality.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constitute an important part of the national economies. In order to be able to survive and compete with large businesses, SMEs have to actively plan their future. This research qualitatively examines strategic planning practises in SMEs in Sweden, a yet unexplored country in this matter, in order to identify their extent and understand their nature. For th

Haematopoietic stem cells are the source of all blood components including T-cells. When the T-cell programme is initiated in these cells, the expression of T-cell associated genes such as TCF7 is up-regulated, while genes opposing this fate are turned off. Subsequently, epigenetic marks on the gene BCL11B and its regulatory elements, disabling the expression of the gene, are removed and the trans

In this work a simultaneous localisation and mapping system, SLAM, has been constructed which can incorporate inertial measurement unit, IMU, data such as accelerometer and gyroscope data to estimate the metric scale and the relationship to the gravity vector of the SLAM solution. The system can perform accurate pose predictions at 100Hz based on IMU data and previous camera poses. An improved KLT

UNSCR 1325 and the Women, Peace and Security agenda has been in place since year 2000, yet women’s participation in conflict resolution processes remains low and they are still largely being excluded from deciding how their future society is going to look like. The European Union is known for being a normative actor in international politics, with gender equality being one of their core norms. As

A major part of the world’s population today consists of young people, yet they are excluded from the process of peacebuilding as they are either demonised or infantilised. To address this issue the UN Security Council adopted resolution 2250 in 2015 which relates to youth, peace and security. This has led to an increase in attention of the positive role of youth for constructive change. The aim o

I studien granskas invandringsdiskursen i Sverige under en tid då högerextremism växer. Ett politiskt klimat som resulterat i ett hårdare språk och hårdare attityder mot flyktingar. Studien granskar förändringen i Socialdemokraternas språk vad gäller invandringsfrågan genom en undersökning av kongressprotokollen och de politiska riktlinjerna 2013 och 2017. Med hjälp av metodologiska verktyg, hämta

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vilken typ av fred som förespråkas i fredsbevarande operationer samt vilka metoder för att uppnå fred som premieras. För att avgränsa undersökningen har en specifik operation – FN:s insats i Mali, MINUSMA – valts ut. Primärmaterialet som analyseras är en rapport av svenska Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut som utvärderar operationens resultat och utmaningar. Fr

I denna uppsats har vi valt att undersöka hur elva studenter motiverar sitt engagemang i Lundakarnevalen. Frågeställningen som vi ämnar att besvara är följande: På vilket sätt motiverar studenter sitt ideella engagemang i Lundakarnevalen 2018? Denna studie inleds med tidigare forskning kring volontärarbete och motivation samt den kritik den bär med sig. Denna kritik argumenterar för vår teoretiska

Många individer upplever höga stressnivåer på arbetsplatsen. Denna uppsats avser att utforska sambandet mellan olika aspekter som påverkar arbetsrelaterad stress i organisationer. Studien undersöker sambandet mellan fem individuella variabler: identitetshot, rädsla för negativ evaluering, självmedkänsla, arbetsposition och genus. I denna studie antas identitetshot och rädsla för negativ evalueringMany individuals experience high levels of stress at work. This paper aims to explore the relationship between elements that could generate and reduce levels of stress in work organizations. Specifically, the current research looks at the relationship of five individual difference variables: identity threat, fear of negative evaluation, self-compassion, work position, and gender. Identity threat a

The modern shower was invented in the middle of the 19th century and is by far the most popular personal cleaning method in the west. One of the shortcomings of the conventional shower is that a majority of the water consumed is not dirty but goes out the drain all the same. Orbital systems AB has developed a recirculating shower as a modern and environmentally friendly alternative to the conventi

Lokala företag — en målgrupp för en mer hållbar konsumtion? Det ter sig något självklart att uppmaningen 'Think global, act local' är något Sveriges kommuner kan omfamna. Sverige har ett starkt kommunalt självstyre och stora möjligheter att göra skillnad. Frågan är hur detta kan yttra sig och om det lokala näringslivet kan vara en målgrupp för kommunerna i arbetet?

The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the driving forces of SID in corporate contexts. The central purpose is to develop an extended framework based on the framework by Carr, Kolehmainen & Mitchell (2010) that will portray a better understanding of biases and heuristics and their influences on SID. The secondary aim of this thesis is to update the financial and strategic aspects of t

Ett problem som uppstår med ökningen av förnybara energikällor är att det oregelbundna beteendet, hos framförallt sol och vindkraft, gör det svårt att styra produktionen utifrån efterfrågan på energi. En potentiell lösning på detta problem är att lagra energin i flytande luft. För att undersöka hur denna metod lämpar sig för energilagring har en modell av ett fristående energilagringssystem med flThe aim of this project was to create a model of the stand-alone LAES for use in future work at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT). The model was created in IPSEpro with components developed from the software's standard library of power plant components. Required fluid properties were obtained from the Refprop DLL. This was accessed through the development of a DLL, functioning as a link
