PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a large group of pollutants that, over the last decade have been of great academic concern since it has been found all around the globe. PFAS is ubiquitous in our environment and frequently found in low background concentrations in soil and water; recent research has also found that PFAS occur in biotic samples, such as fish and plants.

There is a rising phenomenon of teenagers starting ventures, some starting as early as ten years old. These entrepreneurial profiles seemingly lack experience and resources but still manage to create viable businesses, which shake the well-established assumptions about entrepreneurs. Despite this, teenagers are distanced from current research. This thesis aims to unpack the mechanisms that allow t

In light of diabetes becoming a global discussion topic, some steps ought to be taken to help reduce the number of individuals suffering from the disease. Keeping good glycemic control through a healthy diet helps prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Plant lipids are increasingly being studied for their postprandial effects on humans. Using a randomized cross-over dose-effect design based

Det dagliga arbetet i skolan är präglat av mänskliga interaktioner. Det är av största vikt att parterna i dessa interaktioner kan förstå och samspela med varandra. Rollteori beskriver hur interaktioner underlättas genom att de inblandade antar olika roller baserat på vilket beteende som förväntas av dem. I denna studie har vi använt oss av Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv då vi genom obser

The purpose of this study is to analyse, through a broad series of interviews with a multitude of actors, how collective organizing is created through the meeting of gig-workers and other organisational actors within the sector of the Swedish gig-economy. In the thesis, this is done by applying theoretical ideas about class identity, the outsider/insider dichotomy and new social movements theory t

Över 70% av alla män kommer bli helt eller delvis skalliga under sina liv, men trots detta finns försvinnande lite samhällsvetenskaplig forskning kring hur män upplever eller hanterar håravfall. Syftet med detta arbete är att få en bättre förståelse för ämnet utifrån ett antropologiskt perspektiv, genom att svara på hur unga män som börjat tappa håret tidigt upplever hårförlust och skallighet, sam

I samband med COVID-19-pandemin blev distansarbete vardagen för många verksamheter. Detta ser ut att bli bestående för många verksamheter. Distansarbete utgör stora risker för informationssäkerhetsarbetet i och med ändrat beteende hos anställda och dålig anpassning av verksamheter. Det kan även konstateras att den mänskliga faktorn är bristpunkten inom informationssäkerhet. Därmed är intrång genom

In South Africa, sustainable use of wildlife is widely recognized as providing economic incentives and actively engaging rural communities in conservation management. Aiming to combat rampant poverty and wildlife crime in communities around protected areas (PAs), the country’s biodiversity economy envisions to scale (non-)consumptive activities in the pursuit of creating economically and environme

In recent decades, the need to tackle mental health issues and promote mental well-being has been increasingly put in the socio-political spotlight. As a first step towards creating a European strategy on mental health, the European Commission published the Green Paper, Improving the mental health of the population: Towards a strategy on mental health for the European Union in 2005. This master’s

This paper explores the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and the video game industry, taking video game studios as the main subjects. The aim was to understand the perceived importance of implementing CSR initiatives within businesses and to ascertain the current state of the industry in regard to the subject. A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen

Syftet med fallstudien är att skapa en djupare förståelse av hur partnering tillämpas i byggbranschen. Aktörernas synpunkter ska presenteras för att skapa ett flersidigt perspektiv på hur man arbeta med projektpartnering. Arbetet inleddes med en litteraturstudie för att utforma en teoretisk referensram. Därefter gjordes en kvalitativ studie där primärdata samlades in med hjälp av semistruktureradeThe primary goal of this case study is to create a deeper understanding of partnering in the construction sector. The study will present the viewpoints of both the developer and contractors that were present in the project in order to ensure a multifaceted view of partnering. The work was initiated with a literature study to build a theoretical background. This was followed by a qualitative study

Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. While both robustness and evolvability are necessary, embracing them simultaneously seemingly leads to an inherent conflict due

In this thesis, a new model for diffractive proton-proton collisions is presented. Interpreting protons as systems of many partons, we treat diffraction in terms of elastic interactions between the partons of the colliding protons. Parton emission and absorption are employed as the mechanism that in the context of a diffractive event can stabilize excited protons by reshuffling parton momenta and

A framework for optimizing the design of elastomer packaging machine tools, so­ called plunge tools, has been developed and has reached a proof­of­concept state in this thesis. The framework indicates the capability of decreasing prototype expenses and total development time of new plunge tools by roughly three times compared to the existing iterative design methodology. A finite element analysis

Background: Migraine is a common headache disorder often aggravated by physical activity. Due to the triggering feature of physical exercise, and it frequently leading to kinesiophobia, migraine patients are known to be less physically active. However, physical exercise may be used as a prophylactic migraine treatment option. Aim: The aim of this study was to map out physical activity habits and k

Kuststaden Örnsköldsvik har, tack vare sin tidigare industrihamn, varit ett handelscentrum i Ångermanland. Under 1900-talets första hälft växte staden både befolkningsmässigt och ekonomiskt. Staden präglas fortfarande av vissa större industriverksamheter och sitt natursköna läge mitt i Höga Kusten. Detta examensarbete behandlar en parkeringsplats i centrala Örnsköldsvik. Platsen ligger i direkt aThanks to its former industrial harbour, the coastal town of Örnsköldsvik has been a centre of commerce in Ångermanland. During the first half of the 20th century, the city grew demographically and economically. The city is characterized by a few major industries and its scenic location amid Höga Kusten. This master thesis discusses a parking lot situated centrally in Örnsköldsvik. The spot is lo
