Current concerns for how unsustainable plastic packaging waste management is and how it negatively affects the environment, combined with the fact that it does not promote a circular economy has given origin to a strategy for plastics in a circular economy defined by the European Commission, in 2018. Thus, this study intended to compare and analyse two different plastic packaging waste recycling s
This dissertation aims to illustrate how masculinity is represented in fashion advertising by Gucci, and investigates in how far gender norms affect the representation of the male ideal. Throughout the past century fashion has gained an increasingly more important psychological function among western societies. Rooted in gender- and queer theory and fashion science, this paper investigates how exp
The present study employed an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) approach aimed at exploring the lived experience of non-heterosexual women regarding concealment and self- disclosure of their sexual minority status. Participants were recruited through known LGBT networks in the Washington D.C. area. Interviewees were five women between the ages of 24 and 32 years of age. Data was colle
Med den snabbföränderliga världen i åtanke och med hänsyn till olika utmaningar som påverkar det svenska samhället idag såsom extremismen, rasismen, digitalisering, klimatförändringar med mera är det aktuellt att undersöka elevers kunskaper, upplevelser och uppfattningar om demokrati och medborgarskapande. Eleverna som är framtida medborgare, måste få den bildning som behövs för att tillgodose det

The world continues to be shaped by crises in both new and familiar forms. International and non-international armed conflicts and disasters are barriers to individual wellbeing, development, stability, and in the case of the former, represent a basic challenge to peace. The aftermath of such crises, in which communities can be rebuilt and the fabric of society can be mended, can be a time for rec
Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this
Intresset för historia har funnits med mig redan i tidig ålder vilket under åren resulterat i många utflykter till museer och historiskt viktiga platser. Eftersom jag växte upp i Simrishamn, där rika lämningar från såväl brons- som järnålder finns, hade jag under min uppväxt aldrig långt till närmsta utflyktsmål. De kanske mest intressanta, och för bygden speciella, är de hällristningar som finns Ever since I was a child I have had a historical interest, which has resulted in many excursions to museums and sites of historical significance. Since I grew up in the town of Simrishamn, where important historical traces from both the bronze and Iron Age are visible, I never had far to the closest excursion site. The most interesting and of greatest importance to the region being the rock carvin
As scholars and specialists are calling for decision oriented rather than process-oriented automation, the work of the Business Process Management (BPM) is also subjected to continuous change. This research seeks to examine the relationship between the Decision Automation Services (DAS) and the role of Business Process Analyst (BPA) in BPM. To achieve this objective, the research analyses the chan
I bygg- och fastighetssektorn används mest energi under drift- och förvaltningstiden vilket medför att rätt fastighetsskötsel och en energisnål drift är ytterst viktigt. Genom att minska energin i sektorn kommer Sveriges totala energianvändning att minska. För att kunna reducera sin energiförbrukning finns det olika energitjänsteföretag med olika tjänster som kan vara till hjälp, Siemens AB är ettIn the building and property sector most of the energy is used during the operation- and management period, which result the right type of property management and energy-saving is very important. By reducing the energy in the sector, Sweden’s total energy use will be reduced. Different types of energy service company with different services, for example Siemens AB, can be used to reduce the energy
Purpose: To classify the severity of a case of prostate cancer, physicians use the 10-grade Gleason score. The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to study how small dimensions of image crops affect the Gleason 5-classification capability of a machine learning system. In this thesis, two aspects of dimensionality have been taken into account when creating image crops, the image crop size and the de
This bachelor is a quantative content analysis that focuses on the description of Autism in daily newspapers in Sweden. I have analysed 58 newspaper articles where the word ”autism” is used and through a coding system chategorized these into different diagrams in order to analyse them. The research has been analysed through theories of socialconstructivism, user influence and discourses of power.
In society, accidents happen on a daily basis. To investigate these accidents is part of preventing them from happening at all. The investigations are carried out by different reasons and with different focus as well as by varying methods and extent. This contributes to that the finding of causes of the event varies with the investigator as well as with what the purpose of the investigation is as

In doing this, the authors examined various interest-aligning incentive mechanisms and their linkage to a specific firm’s competitive advantage. The findings of this paper indicate t
The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence. The approach of the study was quali-tative with semi-structured interviews. Five junior and intermediate level school teachers from two different schools
EU:s konkurrensrätt och Artikel 102 FEUF syftar till att förhindra snedvridningar av konkurrensen. Enligt ekonomisk teori så ökar en frimarknadsekonomi samhällsnyttan genom konkurrens. Denna slutsats kan motiveras av de två teoretiska modellerna perfekt konkurrens och dess motsats monopol, en total avsaknad av konkurrens. Ett viktigt undantag till detta antagande existerar i de fall där monopol ärEU competition law, and Article 102 TFEU, strives to prevent the distortion of competition. According to economic theory, a free market economy where resources are allocated through competition can generally be expected to increase the total utility of society. The theoretical models of perfect competition and its opposite monopoly, a total lack of competition, motivates this conclusion. An import
The chest has been found amongst the few furnitures from a pre-historic time, and has played a very important role until about hundred years ago. What if the chest could be brought back into a modern context? My goal is to postpone product replacement by creating a certain degree of emotional attachment between the product and the end-user. During this project I have focused on nostalgia and p
Pulsed electric field (PEF) treatment is a non-thermal process which has a wide range of beneficial effects in food processing. The application of pulsed electric field treatment relevant for this work is as pre-treatment on basil leaves before the drying process. It has been proven that PEF treatment can significantly reduce the drying time due to the electroporation of the guard cells of stomata
