The aim of this paper is to examine the influence that social control has on one’s tendency to obey the traffic regulations, in contrast to the new amendment in Swedish law from 2018 that states that it is no longer allowed to use a mobile phone while driving a vehicle. A combination of Emilé Durkheim's sociology and Talcott Parsons ideas regarding socialization laid the foundation for who and

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

The shape of a Belleville washer ring is optimized with the purpose of tailoring its mechanical response. The optimization is carried out using structural shape optimization with regards to large deformations. In order to accurately model boundaries, B-splines are utilized as they are closely related to the de facto-standard used in most of todays CAD systems. Furthermore, the structural analysis

This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of activism, specifically the culture of political activism at the level of the individual lived experience. Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (2014) draws from Antonio Gramsci’s concept of cultural hegemony and develops a theoretical framework for how social movements can effecti

In this thesis Baradian theory is applied to a close reading of the novel Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl. The aim of the thesis is to examine how the novel can be read as a re-imagining of trans* becoming. The close reading of the novel is guided by an examination of the relationship between Paul’s affects and his corporal transformations, as well as an examination of two memory sequences. T

This thesis explores aspects of vogue femme as a highly aestheticised, performative, and radically subversive visual phenomenon. The focus lies on the posthuman characteristics of this dance and the possibilities it opens up for becoming-other. Vogue femme first appeared as a competition category at balls during the 1990s. It consists of five elements (hands performance, duckwalk, catwalk, spins a

Arabinoxylan (AX) is a dietary fibre linked to positive health effects. An oat mutant population was screened for AX content and oat lines in the range 3,63-12,4% AX and a mean of 7.5% were identified. The mean of reference oat variety Belinda was 8,05% AX. 15 potential oat AX biosynthetic genes from four different genes families (UAM, GT43, GT47, GT61) were identified. A selection of six genes id

2020-talet är här, och efterfrågan på lokala och säkra rekreationsställen är större än någonsin, särskilt under sommarhalvåret då många vill svalka sig, exempelvis i havet. För att kommuner och städer ska kunna erbjuda öppna stränder för sina medborgare krävs då att deras säkerhet regelbundet sätts på prov, och på just havsvatten brukar man söka efter bl.a. bakterien Escherichia coli (E.coli). Jus16S-bacterial data have been examined to evaluate the microbial community in ocean sediment along the coast of Helsingborg. Routine measurements of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in waters near recreational beaches in Helsingborg have been above the safe limit during several summers, even during dry conditions (such was the case in summer 2018). Stormwater, which previously have been the suspected mai

This Master Thesis, executed in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, addresses issues and desirable features with the currently used floor guide, and several final concepts, in terms of short-term and mid-term solutions, are presented after following the product development process. The floor guide's main purpose is to keep the door leaves of an automatic sliding door running smooth

This paper attempt to explore how memories are affected by memorial landscape architecture through a psychological perspective, known as the affordance. In order to conduct this interdisciplinary research including design, psychology and memory studies, this research project is grounded in a case study of the Tsunami Memorial, Gravitational Ripples, in Stockholm. By using a phenomenological appro

Near-surface remote sensing platforms such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and phenocameras appear to be potential platforms for keeping track of seasonal dynamics at a local scale. This research focusses on extracting time series of different vegetation indices (VIs) from both platforms, computing seasonality events from them and comparing the results against spectral sensor data. Time series

Vision Goggle is a concept smart eyewear that can remind user to use their eyes reasonably by detecting real-time eye condition. This project is aimed at people’s eye discomfort caused by prolonged computer use, especiallyfor the user who spend more than 2 hours a day on computers. The symptoms caused by long screen time are referred to as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), and the two most common o

De senaste åren har det skett en drastisk förändring av betalningsmönstret i Sverige, där nästan alla kontanta betalningar har ersatts av digitala betalningar. Riksbanken har därför påbörjat en utredning kring behovet och effekterna av en digital centralbanksvaluta i form av en e-krona. I denna uppsats analyseras e-kronans plats som ett framtida betalningsmedel i den svenska ekonomin baserat på al

lectric surfboards are a fairly new innovation. They fuse the art of surfing into technology and deliver a fresh experience to their users. That feeling has made them want more. Also the reason why electric surfboards are gaining popularity. How can you redesign an electric surfboard? What more do you want to experience when you are already cruising on the water at high speeds. The electrified sur

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt beroende på vilken geografisk region respondenten härstammar ifrån samt att undersöka om åsikterna skiljer sig åt mellan intressegrupperna.
