Nästan en halv miljon människor i Sverige sjunger i någon slags kör. Den här studien syftar till att med hjälp av George Herbert Meads teori om ​symbolisk interaktionism​ skapa förståelse för vilka sociala motiv och processer som leder fram till att man vill sjunga i kör och hur körmedlemmar påverkas och förändras av att ingå i ett körsammanhang, utifrån de förväntningar de har på sig själva och f

The aim of the project is the reconstruction of the district Bento Rodrigues located in the state of Minas Gerais; Brazil destroyed by the collapse of a mining dam Fundão in November 2015. This disaster was one of the biggest tragedy in the country. Mud covered the village, a river flooded and all the waste arrived until the Atlantic Ocean, including one of the most important rivers, the Rio Doce.

I den här masteruppsatsen undersöktes geokemin i kalkskalen av bottenlevande foraminiferer från Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (Bälthavet) och Obrzynowo (Egentliga Östersjön), för att rekonstruera de hydrografiska förhållanden i Östersjön och paleomiljön under den senaste interglacialen (130 - 115 ka BP). De variabler som analyserades innefattade Mg/Ca, Ba/Ca och Mn/Ca samt stabila syre- och kolisotoIn this thesis, three microfossil records from Anholt (Kattegat), Ristinge (the Danish straits) and Obrzynowo (the southern Baltic- coast) representing the last interglacial Eemian (130- 115 ka B.P) were generated. The geochemistry of benthic foraminifera was investigated to reconstruct the Eemian Baltic Sea hydrography and paleoenvironment. The paleo-environmental proxies were: the trace elements

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utforma och implementera ett systematisk arbetssätt för att analysera och förbättra OEE åt Nolato Meditech med hjälp av ett specifikt kommersiellt produktionsövervakningssystem, samt att lösa operativa problem med systemet och utvärdera dess prestanda. Arbetets metod bestod av att lära sig mjukvaran, anpassa den till att uppfylla den givna produktionsmiljön,The purpose of this master thesis project was to design and implement a systematic procedure to analyse and improve OEE for Nolato Meditech using a specific commercial production monitoring system, as well as solving operational system issues and evaluating the performance of the system. The method employed consisted of learning the software, adapting it to comply with the given production envir

Seeing double - Sexing of the white stork (Ciconia ciconia) Imagine a world in which all humans looked the same and were indistinguishable between sexes. That is the confusing case of the monomorphic white stork (Ciconia ciconia). Since 1989 a breeding project has been in place to re-establish the white stork in Sweden. The project has been largely successful. In conservation biology such as th

This thesis aims to investigate the role of social enterprise in coordinating stakeholder relationships to develop social innovation through the lens of stakeholder theory and its conceptual framework in sustainability management. Social enterprises are believed to feature the ability to establish and manage collaboration between stakeholders in the entrepreneurial process, therefore they are seen

Just nu utvecklas mycket ny och spännande teknik som nyttjar det vävnadsoptiska fönstret. Ljus i detta område tränger in i vävnad på djupet men de potentiella riskerna från ljusets uppvärmning av vävnaden är i stort sett okända. I detta arbete har jag både mätt och simulerat denna uppvärmning för att kunna bistå teknikutvecklingen med ny kunskap om riskerna med nära infrarött laserljus. Plocka upIn this work, potential adverse tissue heating in conjunction with near infrared (NIR) laser spectroscopy was studied. The tissue heating from laser light within the NIR optical window is currently a relatively unexplored field. Further knowledge of this heating is essential for the development of safe medical devices utilising laser spectroscopic diagnostics methods on living tissue. Surface temp

This master thesis aims to explore the possibility of creating a toothbrush made from renewable raw materials by developing a toothbrush handle consisting of wood. The content in this master thesis covers a product development process of a toothbrush and has been executed in collaboration with TePe Munhygienprodukter AB, at Lund University. The majority of the process has involved concept developm

Sub-Saharan Africa is an area of contradictions as it sits on heaps of natural resources and at the same time the highest number of people ever living in poverty. They are in dire need of an economic catch up, however it is unclear if they have what it takes to manage this type of sustained economic growth. Through a social capabilities framework this study evaluates the economy from a more total

Since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008 several central banks around the world have introduced Quantitative Easing. Earlier literature has proven that this has caused significant downward pressure on yields in many economies. This study examines if the introduction of Quantitative Easing has changed the predictive power of the yield curve on future economic activity in nine advanced economi

I denna uppsats behandlas den aktuella och pågående debatten gällande det kontroversiella beslutet om att fotbolls-VM ska hållas i Qatar 2022. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra de olika ställningstaganden för eller emot bojkott utav fotbolls-VM i Qatar 2022 utifrån åtta stycken svenska artiklar. Genom en argumentationsanalys har åtta artiklar analyserats för att klargöra artiklarnas olika sThis paper addresses the current and ongoing debate regarding the controversial decision that the FIFA World Cup is going to be held in Qatar 2022. The purpose of this paper is to obtain clarification of the different positions regarding boycott of the FIFA World Cup in Qatar 2022. Eight articles have been analyzed through an argumentation analysis to highlight the different positions of the artic

Supply chain management (SCM) has become more challenging than ever, considering the effect of globalization on organizations as operating through transnational business networks. Conventional supply chains have been facing struggles such as lack of advanced technologies and traceability in operation, which then leads to operational inefficiencies. Blockchain (BC) technology offers a set of featur

Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. The outcome of these interactions strongly depend on the initial conditions of the i

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge about baby boomers’ motivations for using either digital or analogue touchpoints in the high involvement customer journey. This ultimately contributes to an increased understanding of the high involvement customer journey. Methodology: A qualitative study with social constructionism as the research philosophy, where an abductive appro

This thesis project examines the Exposure Draft issued in 2019 of the IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts. The purpose is to determine to what extent and in which aspects the amendment is reflecting the industry. To do this the Ansari et al.’s (2010) framework will be used. In this sense, two research questions are studied: In which aspects, is IFRS 17 reflecting and covering the needs and complexity of

Background and aim: Gross primary production (GPP) is the largest global carbon (C) flux and an important component for counteracting anthropogenic CO2 emissions, understanding vegetation dynamics, and sustaining universal human standards. Africa plays a prominent role in the global C cycle, though our understanding of GPP dynamics is largely hampered by a paucity of ground-based observations. By

The aim of this paper is to cover a gap identified in the literature by finding empirical evidence explaining the relationship between the target firm’s ESG score and ESG Gap and the abnormal returns registered by the acquirer. The paper uses a cross-sectional dataset based on an international sample of 171 merger and acquisition transactions, occurred between 2002 and 2020. The even-study metho
