This study aims to investigate how the Swedish feminist foreign policy is understood by NGOs in development aid work who receive government funding, and how one can understand this through a feminist postcolonial and postmodern perspective. To gain a better insight and understanding of this, the focus has been on the close links between different notions within feminist postcolonial and feminist p
Transport and material intermixing within lake systems have a significant impact on lake water quality. However, since researchers are primarily concerned with biological, environmental, and ecological aspects, physics and hydrodynamic behavior in lake water currents frequently receive less attention. The results of several wind-induced current circulation scenarios in Lake Bolmen with its complic
Abstract Objectives: In the UK there is a high concentration of women engaged in the civil society sector, still, less than 3% of organizational leaders are Black and Asian ethnic minority women. This study aims to understand the low representation of Black and Asian women in senior positions across the civil society sector in the UK on a comparative level. This study aims to explore the prejudic
The thesis proposes to examine the material and symbolic production of the bestsellers: Ett öga rött (2003) by Jonas Hassen Khemiri, Jag är Zlatan Ibrahimović: min historia (2011) by Zlatan Ibrahimović and David Lagercrantz, and Yahya Hassan: dikter (2014) by Yahya Hassan. The problem of investigation posed is: How does assumptions about ethnicity intersect with the publication of these bestseller
European policymakers are increasingly interested in encouraging and supporting social entrepreneurship. Addressing the goal, this thesis analyses the relationship between human capital and an individual’s propensity for social entrepreneurship in European countries. Additionally, it is investigated how institutional environment moderates this relationship. Utilising a dataset of the Global Entrep
Today most Swedish municipalities work actively with climate change mitigation with the goal to decrease their total emissions of greenhouse gases. To achieve this, the municipalities must decrease their consumption related emissions. This is a rather new question within local governance, which begs the question, how do municipalities work to govern its citizens’ consumption patterns? This study s
Forskning visar att kvinnor känner ett större engagemang för klimatet, men också en större oro för klimatförändringar och dess konsekvenser. Tidigare forskning visar även att vita män som har en konservativ politisk orientering är de som är minst oroade för klimatförändringar. Syftet med detta kvalitativa arbete är att med hjälp av intervjuer skapa en förståelse för kvinnors upplevelse av klimatfö
Företag har genomfört stora förändringar efter att den svenska Folkhälsomyndigheten införde rekommendationer om hemarbete till följd av Covid-19 pandemin. Distansarbete har ökat kraftigt i omfattning och prognosen är att även efter pandemin kommer det flexibla arbetssättet kvarstå. Syftet med det här examensarbetet är att undersöka vilka eventuella utmaningar som distansarbete medför för framtidenCompanies have implemented major changes due to the recommendations of remote work introduced by the Swedish Public Health Agency as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Remote work has rapidly increased, and the forecast is that this flexible working method will remain. The purpose of this thesis is to examine which challenges remote work entails for offices in the future, and with this data presen
The purpose of this project was to investigate protein stabilization by formulation excipients during the process of freeze-drying using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation. A recombinant therapeutic protein, Reteplase, was used as a model and the study focused on a comparative analysis of two excipients, arginine and tranexamic acid (TXA), as included in commercially available formulations of Rete
Cross-national surveys have pointed out that environmental concern has been decreasing across the globe over time due to a focus on economic growth. While cultural and socio- demographic factors determine the degree of a lack of environmental concern, preference measures namely risk, patience, positive reciprocity, negative reciprocity, altruism and trust have found to be determinants as well. Thi
BUT A SURFACE is a product that offers a surface which helps users to switch between positions they like freely when working from home with devices like laptops. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, working from home has become a “new normal”. Compared with working in the office or school, people usually perform more relaxed in positions like sitting casually on lounge chairs or sofas when working from h
The project explores the harmful effects of excessive light exposure at night and people’s sleeping habits. Most people would use electronic devices in bed for a long time before sleep, and sometimes we fall asleep and accidentally leave the light on all night. And there are also some people who are afraid of darkness prefer to sleep with the light on all night. Sleeping with the light on delibe
The connection between general government debt levels and centralization of general government expenditure is compared in 31 countries 1995-2019 and 35 countries 1972-2019, with four country groups in each of the datasets analyzed further. Connections between centralization and changes in debt levels are found to be mostly insignificant and results unstable to the inclusion of lagged changes in de
Semantic segmentation of medical images is an important task with many applications. However, manually delineating 3D images is time-consuming and the demand for automation is high. For many image segmentation tasks, deep learning has provided state-of-the-art results. However, the varying nature of magnetic resonance (MR) images due to factors such as different machine vendors and clinical protoc
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore if virtual influencers can be viewed as capable of developing parasocial relationships and opinion leadership. This will be researched through the virtual influencers source credibility, perceived by the Swedish audience of Instagram. This is based on previous research that has shown that the two concepts of parasocial relationships and opin
Digital technologies have brought new challenges to society, such as data privacy abuses, attacks on democracy, and even military-grade technologies being accessed by civilians. Europe has taken the leadership by regulating different aspects of the digital economy; however, these regulations may create distortions that will harm European businesses. This study tries to draw a picture of the differ
