Obesity rates have been increasing at an alarming pace across the globe however, little has been done to address the issue even in high income countries. To further problematize this issue, many researchers and public health officials have conceptualized obesity as being individually based, rather than analyzing it from a structural perspective. This challenge will be extended to developing countr

Given the fact that experimental studies have found an influence on legal decision making by the court’s impression of the defendant, while at the same time the defendant has been foreseen in research on courtroom interaction and emotion, it is highly significant to study the way the defendant interact during criminal trials. This thesis is based on an ethnographic-inspired study conducted in Swed

The recent growth of the Swedish prison population and police force suggests a stark reversal from the small, rehabilitation oriented criminal justice system described in the “Nordic penal exceptionalism thesis.” This paper is based on a narrative analysis of documents published by the Government Offices of Sweden in the collection titled “A Safer Sweden” from 2013 to 2021. This research aims to u

It is a challenge to make ice cream without any dairy ingredients, since the components in dairy contribute to the unique flavour and structure of the ice cream. The aim with this project was to develop an ice cream mix containing only plant-based ingredients. The source of the main ingredient, the plant-base, was chosen by the company of which this project was requested by. The aim was to develop

With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic a majority of the workforce were compelled to start working from home.

Litteraturkritiken är inte längre begränsad till de professionella kritikerna i dagspressen utan skrivs nu även av vanliga läsare, amatörkritiker, på olika plattformar online. Den här uppsatsen grundar sig i en jämförelse mellan den professionella kritiken och amatörkritiken, för att vidare undersöka vilka funktioner dessa två typer av litteraturkritik har för förlag på dagens svenska bokmarknad.

Från linjär till cirkulär offentlig upphandling - En fallstudie av fem kommuner och deras arbete och vad som står i vägen för utvecklingen Vårt levnadssätt där linjär ekonomi med slit och släng är norm är ohållbart för att uppnå klimatmålen och målen i agenda 2030. Offentlig upphandling har en stor roll i denna omställning och kan med hjälp av rätt strategier börja göra upphandlingar med produkterSwedish municipalities can play a key role in contributing to the circular economy through public procurement as this is responsible for the emission of 23 million tons of carbon dioxide each year. Previous studies indicate that there is a need of developing dialogues involving all actors to increase the knowledge concerning why circular products are needed. The aim of this study was to investigat

Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand. However, the real-world implementation of con- gestion charges remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between time-varying congestion charges and traffic volumes. By applying a difference-in-difference (DiD) method on hourly level traffic d

Att minska biltrafiken: varför är det så svårt? Många kommuner tar nu klimatförändringarna på allt större allvar, och många ambitiösa klimatmål sätts upp i landet. Studien som beskrivs här har fokuserat på kommunala mål om minskad biltrafik i Göteborg, Borlänge och Jönköping och undersökt hur väl dessa mål fått genomslag, och vilka centrala utmaningar som finns inom arbetet. Alltså: hur kan det vThere is a great need to figure out how to reach our many ambitious climate goals. This thesis focuses on municipal goals concerning reducing car traffic, and studies three municipalities (Göteborg, Borlänge and Jönköping) who have all adopted clear goals concerning decreased car traffic. The aim of this thesis is to identify potential goal conflicts and challenges within the municipalities’ work

Det finns just nu momentum för att stängda de luckor i lagstiftningen kring företags ansvar för negativa effekter på mänskliga rättigheter. En av de mest ambitiösa åtagandena hittills är initiativet till ett EU-direktiv med syfte att kräva skälig aktsamhet (så kallad ”due diligence”) och ansvar från företag för påverkan på mänskliga rättigheter och miljön. Ett lagförslag förväntas komma under sommMomentum is building for closing the regulatory gaps on business responsibility for adverse human rights impacts. One of the most ambitious actions so far is the initiative for an EU directive on corporate due diligence and accountability for human rights and the environment. A proposal for the provisions of the directive is expected this summer (2021). Historically children’s rights have been top

Lactobacillus reuteri is known as probiotics with health benefits. Freeze-drying is frequently used to preserve probiotics and keep them alive. However, freeze-drying through freezing and drying might cause some damages to the probiotic’s cells.

Bakgrund: I dagens moderna samhälle matas vi med information om ”andras” död, via nyheter, filmer, serier och böcker, men hur hanterar vi när döden kommer ”nära” och berör oss själva? Frågeställning: Hur uppfattar och talar nutidsmänniskan om döden? Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologiskt fokus. Jag använder mig av semistrukturerade intervjuer och urvalet är ett så kallat bek

Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p
