The Swedish welfare system has been subject to extensive research, because of its unique alloy of capitalist and socialist ideas and principles. The Social Democratic formulation of the idea of the people’s home has been an integral part of the Swedish political discourse for the better part of a century. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, the hegemony of the social democratic ideology came into questi

Critical infrastructure is essential for a functioning society because of the services and goods they provide. Within these infrastructures there are several departments whose functionality is critical to society and when exposed to stress can lead to societal consequences. Therefore, it is important for the department within the critical infrastructure to have a solid crisis and continuity prepar

Gamification uses elements of game-designing on mundane tasks to enhance motivation and performance. This study aimed to investigate the effects of gamification on performance, intrinsic motivation and amotivation while doing work tasks. Using a randomized experimental design with the game design elements reward badges and character choice, gamification of in-tray exercises commonly used in Assess

I denna studie utforskar jag mitt intresseområde vilket är pianoundervisning inom den klassiska musikgenren på ett mer ingående sätt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur fem pianolärare, verksamma i fyra olika länder, strukturerar sina pianolektioner. Studiens fokus låg på grundskolor inom musik med klassisk inriktning. Det är en fördjupad studie i vad det egentligen innebär att undervis

Brinnande bilar, drunknande isbjörnar och träd som dör ut - det är detta som en del föreställer sig när det gäller global uppvärmning. För att förhindra att detta sker, behöver fossila bränslen ersättas i framtiden. En möjlighet är att använda biobränslen istället, fast problemet är att de innehåller mycket metan. Detta är tyvärr en farlig växthusgas som måste vidarebearbetas i förbränningsanläggnThe study of heterogeneous catalysis, especially within methane oxidation, is of high importance in order to more efficiently remove unburned methane from bio-fuel exhausts. This is relevant as bio-fuel engines will replace those driven by fossil fuels in the coming decades. This thesis contributes to the understanding of that reaction in a 5 mbar environmental pressure regime over a polycrystalli

With the growing global demand for affordable housing, the housing deficit needs to be addressed with building solutions that are fast to build while less expensive to operate and construct. As most prefabricated systems are targeted to mess production, individuality and option for customization has become highly limited. Looking into what is currently available in the market, reviewing these off

This master thesis project applies a mixed methods approach to fulfill the purpose of exploring how and in what ways digitalization transforms different retail categories. A theoretical framework is formulated using existing theories and research, from which four key variables are identified: distribution, interaction, competition and product offering. These variables, combined with an overarching

In the fall of 2022, Sweden's most significant social service that is located in Malmö City went through a major organizational change. The goal of the reorganization was that it would be easier to manage the daily operations, collaborate internally, and primarily handle cases equally when the respective departments were located in the same buildings. The aim of this study is to gain the persp

Both during and after the pandemic, the trend of biophilic design has reached maximum acceleration. One of the consequences being an increasing interest in gardening and plant care in general. Though not everybody might have so called ‘green fingers’, everyone should have the opportunity to try, and a product that facilitates horticulture is the self watering planter. IKEA of Sweden is looking int

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder with toxic forms of alpha synuclein (α-syn) accumulating in the midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons, leading to cell death. In the first part of the study we wanted to investigate the midbrain DA population and their gene expression relative to the intracellular α-syn load. To this end, human wildtype α-syn was packaged inside custom, uniquel

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have been increasingly attracting attentions in many different fields. Healthcare is one of the areas that has greatly benefited from the advances in AI/ML. This includes a wide range of applications such as medical data interpretation, disease or abnormality detection or prediction, monitoring specific health condition and medical data manage

Increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of production processes have always been a significant challenge, primarily because such processes often contain activities that lead to waste. In response to address these challenges, tools like Lean and Six Sigma, and over time their descendant, Lean Six Sigma (LSS) were developed. It is argued that Industry 4.0 proliferated data accessibility in the m

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to solve complex problems in areas such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. However, the computational cost and memory requirements of CNNs are significant challenges for their widespread deployment, particularly in edge devices where power and area budgets are li

Det är idag vanligt förekommande att företag nyttjar en så kallad cause branding strategy för att marknadsföra sina produkter. Detta gynnar ofta både försäljningen och bilden konsumenterna får av företaget (Persis Murray, 2012, s. 84). Cause branding strategies har utvecklats och förekommer idag genom olika metoder, så kallad varuaktivism. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka feministisk varuak

PARP14, a member of the PARP family that can modify target proteins with ADP-ribose has stimulated the interest of researchers as it is involved in a variety of diseases including cancer. While some structural and activity characterization has been conducted, it has not been yet expressed and purified as a single molecule, instead it was examined in small constructs that include several of its dom

National libraries play a leading role in the creation of national identities. For that reason, the destruction and reestablishment of libraries may hold strategic meanings beyond the physical. This master thesis examines the symbols and cultural implications of such devastating events and resilient initiatives. Data for the thesis was collected through interviews with two librarians in Baghdad, w
