Metod: Fjorton deltagare i åldrarna 6 till 7 år inkluderades. S

MAX IV i Lund är en världsledande forskningsanläggning. Acceleratorn vid anläggning är en mycket speciell form av accelerator, en synkrotron. Elektroner som färdas nära ljusets hastighet utnyttjas för att utvinna något av det mest starka och intensiva ljus som kan bildas, synkrotronljus. Grundprincipen bakom en synkrotron utnyttjar elektromagnetiska grundlagar för att bilda ljus, fotoner, med hjäAs a beam of particles moves through a storage ring each particle will perform transverse oscillations as a result of the focusing magnetic fields it encounters. The amount of transverse oscillations performed in a single revolution of the ring is known as the particle's betatron tune. The goal of this project was to investigate the tunes by instigating an oscillation using a short-lived, stro

This paper examines how speech about children's sexuality and relation to pornography relate to discourses about children's sexuality within a media debate on pornography. In the essay my material consists of debate articles from some of Sweden's most read news papers, and where I have made a discourse analysis based on a foucualdian methodology. The results of my analysis show, among

Reducing emissions in the basic materials sector, which account for 25% of the global greenhouse gas emissions is a pressing climate mitigation task. Investments into decarbonising this sector are critical and therefore raising capital though climate finance is gaining attention. Green bonds are a new asset class that incorporate sustainability criteria into bonds. Despite the increasing use of gr

Sedan den mindre kontroversen där Pluto degraderades från planet till dvärgplanet så har samhället varit överens om solsystemets åtta planeter: Mercurius, Venus, Jorden, Mars, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus. Detta kan dock komma att ändras, då forskning föreslår existensen av en planet större än vår egen bortom alla kända planeter. I detta arbete undersöks en helt ny metod som kan hjälpa oIn recent years, scientists have found unconfirmed evidence for a ninth planet in the solar system at a very wide orbit. The parameters for this planet are poorly constrained. Current estimates mostly come from the effect the planet has on trans-neptunian objects. Here we investigate an alternative scenario, that is whether this proposed planet can exert observable perturbation on Main Belt astero

Syfte: Orddefinitionsförmåga innebär förmåga att förklara vad ett ord betyder genom att använda andra ord. Orddefinitioner kan användas för att mäta lexikalt djup. Det saknas dock verktyg för bedömning av orddefinitionsförmåga. Studien hade två fokus, dels en utvärdering av ett nytt orddefinitionstest av skolrelaterade ord, dels en jämförelse mellan enspråkiga och flerspråkiga barns prestationer p

The development research has stressed the importance of technical and vocational education and training for systemic progress in a society. However, proscribed donor-centred solutions often fail to deliver the expected result. As such enabling the local stakeholders and supporting their ideas rather than enforcing the donors' own visions is seen as a promising way to engage in development poli

The report provides anoverview of the nature of wildfiresandtechniques for preventing, detecting and fighting. The concept with unmanned aerial vehicles is presentedtogether with different classifications and legal obstacles and difficulties. To map the actual usage of unmannedvehicles for wildfire fighting

Opening up your home to unaccompanied young refugees : A study about voluntary foster parents, their motives and commitment Migration politics in Sweden has shifted to a more restrictive stance in the past few years. Unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors are an especially vulnerable group that has been affected by this. Many of them find themselves in a difficult position when they turn 18, when th

Aim: The overall aim of this study is to define post-crisis recovery as well as gain a deeper understanding of the strategies that corporate brands use in order to recover from a crisis. Theoretical Perspective: The research takes a strategic brand management perspective in order to define recovery as well as how corporate brands recover from a crisis. The previous literature that is utilized ha

Partikelfysikens standardmodell har framgångsrikt förutsagt de nu kända elementära partiklarna och deras växelverkningar. Liksom varje fysikmodell har den ett giltighetsområde. Det okända som kan tänkas inträffa utanför detta område kallas fysik bortom standardmodellen. Nya fenomen kan förväntas uppträda vid extremt höga energier, bortom de tillgängliga vid dagens kolliderare. En av de aspekter viThe non-Abelian QCD nature allows for pp collisions to contain gluon emissions off quarks as well as gluon branchings into further gluons — a structure that can be described by the parton shower model. In this project we present the results of the impact the shower has on the reconstruction of the W-boson and top quark masses using Pythia, the Lund Monte Carlo event generator. As a warm-up, the im

Thesis purpose: This study aims to establish an understanding of the sponsee sponsorship strategy, with the purpose of expanding on the academic understanding and narrowing the identified research gap. Methodology: A qualitative study through semi-structured interviews with Swedish elite football clubs was conducted to answer how the sponsee strategically engage in sponsorships. A qualitative re

The following thesis discusses a recent debate that occurred in Sweden regarding gender equality. In the beginning of 2018, a new agency was founded - The Swedish Gender Equality Agency. However, less than a year later, the agency was threatened to be shut-down when two right-wing parties proposed a budget where the funding for the agency was retracted. This started an interesting debate in Sweden

The dating culture and how one can initiate romantic and sexual relationships have developed and changed over the years. The purpose of this research is to explore the Swedish university students’ dating culture. How Tinder is used and how self-presentation looks on Tinder versus offline among the students. The study uses 10 qualitative personal semi-structured interviews with Swedish students, be

I slutet av 90-talet utvecklades produkten korslimmat trä, KL-trä. Framtagningen av KL-trä var ett projekt för att framställa ett byggnadsmaterial med avseende att kunna konkurrera med betongindustrin och därigenom bidra till en lägre miljöpåverkan, då trä har en låg påverkan på miljön i förhållande till många andra konstruktionsmaterial. KL-träelement är vanligtvis konstruerade som plattor och haIn the late 1990s cross-laminated timber (CLT) was developed. The development of CLT was a project aimed to produce a structural product that could compete with the concrete industry and contribute to a reduced effect on the environment, due to the low environmental impact of timber in relation to other building materials. CLT elements are usually constructed as panels which contain multiple layer

Among the most discussed risks of climate change is its impact on the occurrence of natural disasters. Manifold research points towards the social and economic consequences that follow for affected regions in the world. Especially for developing and emerging countries, natural disasters impose a threat endangering the path of sustainable development. This study investigates the impact of natural d

Dagens samhälle står inför en stor klimatutmaning vilket ställer höga krav på alla branscher, inte minst bygg- och fastighetsbranschen. Byggnader och lokaler står idag för en tredjedel av Sveriges energianvändningen där 60 % går till uppvärmning. För att minska utsläppen från bostäder och lokaler har stort fokus lagts på byggnaders energianvändning under dess driftsfas. I takt med att byggnader blThe society is today facing a major climate challenge, which places high demands on all industries, not least the construction and real estate industry. Buildings are today accounting for one third of Sweden's energy use, of which 60 % is used for heating. In order to reduce emissions from buildings, great focus has been placed on the energy use of buildings during its operating phase. As buil

This thesis challenges the idea that terrorism is only used by non-state actors. I argue states can and have used terrorism on multiple occasions because terrorism is simply a strategy of violence and can thus be used by anyone. Terrorisms most important feature is therefore not who the actor is, but what the aim of the violence is meant to accomplish. Terrorism is used to alter the behaviour of a
