Departing from the field of queer migration, the aim of the thesis is to grasp the experience of queer migrants in Sweden. Inspired by Les Back’s notion of sociology as an art of listening that engages critically with research participants, and guided by feminist sociologists’ methodological contributions, the study is carried out through in-depth interviews with twelve queer migrants from differe
Innovation has in recent years been getting an increasingly important role in both industrial policy and in the academic discourse. In both the United States and the European Union policy-makers have tried to kick start slumbering economies by launching new innovation policies and academics write about innovation like never before. In this environment, Sweden has become something of a role model a
The thesis focuses on the evolving relationship between art and its reproduction in the digital age on the one hand, and the contemporary observer on the other. The research focuses on art reproduction by means of virtual reality (VR) techniques, and delves into the history of art reproduction from antiquity to modern methods. It adopts a phenomenological approach, scrutinizing two case studies: R
Denna rapport är ett examinerande moment i kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering (VBR054), med syfte att granska och utvärdera ett objekts personsäkerhet i händelse av brand. Målet är att studenterna ska öka sin förståelse för utrymningssäkerhet och kunna applicera tidigare kunskaper och färdigheter för att genomföra en ingenjörsmässig riskanalys. Objektet som analyseras är Sundbyholms travbana som l
Authors: Sandra Feif and Linnéa Kronqvist Title: Shaping a Worldview - A Qualitative Study of Gender in Pronounced Gender Conscious Children’s Literature Supervisor: Marta Kolankiewicz Assessor: Malin Arvidson The aim of this study was to understand how gender and belonging norms are constructed in Swedish children’s literature that is pronounced gender conscious. To examine this, we also studie
This Bachelor’s thesis focuses on the reconceptualization of ethnographic method and object through the implementation of experiences from contemporary participative art forms. Which in their methods and representational practices present similarities with anthropology and ethnography. The thesis discusses how these ethnographic-like art processes at various inclinations can serve as guidelines fo
The purpose of this study is to generate knowledge concerning how digital nudg-ing functions as an integrated part of Systembolaget’s marketing communication. The study intends to clarify the difficulties following an integration of digital nudging since it may hinder an organization’s trust building. A qualitative ap-proach has been applied and the empirical material consists of observations and
This report aims to investigate how Swedish municipalities work and could work to step up building developers responsibility to remediate polluted sites. This is done through the study of reports from environmental authorities, environmental legislation, legislation for society planning and interviews with officials at the municipalities Malmö, Lomma, Landskrona and Helsingborg. The study shows th
Denna studie undersöker hur skolor kan bli bättre på att hantera nätmobbning genom strategisk kommunikation och issues management. Problematiken grundar sig i ett förändrat medieklimat och uppkomsten av en ny synlighetskultur. Genom en fallstudie av två skånska gynmasieskolor har jag genom kvalitativa intervjuer studerat hur elever förhåller sig till nätmobbning, hur de vill berätta om nätmobbninThis study explores how schools can better handle cyberbullying through strategic communication and issues management. The problem stems from a change in the media climate and the rise of a new visibility culture. Through a case study of two Swedish high schools, I have conducted qualitative interviews in regards to students’ relationship to cyberbullying, how they wish to tell schools about it, a
In the present thesis I analyse the image of the Oriental or the Other in German public-service media reporting. In times of the refugee crisis, right-wing movements strengthening in several European countries and Islamist extremist terrorist threats, the West is confronted with the question of integrating people from other cultures. The discussion about the sexual assaults in Cologne from 31 Dece
With the growing of urban population, local and national economic prosperity expand rapidly. Consequently, demands of urban freight transport have been perpetually increasing leading to series of freight-induced problems such as congestion, air pollution, noise, environmental impacts, etc., which required some reactions from relevant stakeholders. Public authorities and private companies are the t
Over the last few years there has been considerable debate about the reading habits of Swedish children and teenagers in both library journals and the mainstream press. This debate has been sparked by the alarm caused by reports on comparatively poor language skills and poor school results among kids in elementary school. Since 2013, children, and thus the promotion of children’s literature, have
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka hur en förändring av processtemperatur kan påverka processtabilitet och produktion av biogas hos OX2. Anläggningen som drivs och förvaltas av OX2 Bio produktion AB i Helsingborg producerar biogas från främst matavfall från hushåll och från livsmedelsindustrin. Idealt produceras bio-gas i anläggningen vid 37 °C men under året finns en variationThe purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate how a change in process temperature can affect the stability and production of biogas. The plant which is operated and administrated by OX2 Bio Produktion AB located in Helsingborg produces biogas from primarily household food waste and waste from food industry. An ideal temperature to produce biogas at the plant is 37 °C but there is a flu
The possibility to have a strongly first order electroweak phase transition, which is one of the Sakharov conditions for electroweak baryogenesis together with $\mathcal{CP}$ violation and baryon number violation, in general Two-Higgs-Doublet Models (2HDMs) is here investigated. Different kinds of $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ breaking beyond standard assumptions are studied, in particular by allowing it to be
In recent years, stormwater ponds have become a common feature in urban environments to manage an increasing amount of stormwater caused by densification of cities combined with increased precipitation due to climate changes. Stormwater ponds can be multifunctional, by providing several ecosystem services and functions as water purification, recreation and habitats for biodiversity in addition to
Bakgrund: Det fanns inga tidigare utförda studier på larynxmasken (LM) AuraGain och överviktiga patienter. Traditionellt har endotrakealtuben varit förstahandsvalet framför LM vid anläggandet av fri luftväg hos överviktiga patienter p.g.a. riskfaktorer som regurgitation med gastropulmonell aspiration. LM AuraGain skiljer sig från andra liknande typer av LM genom att lumen för ventrikelsond tillåte
Most of today’s materials show either high strength with low ductility, or relatively low strength combined with high ductility. It is strongly desired in the industry to obtain materials whose mechanical properties can display a combination of high strength and elongation. That is why the new concept of harmonic structure has been introduced recently. This structure consists of strong ultrafine g
Financial decisions that concerns us are not always made by ourselves. In real life, many situations arise when the decisions are taken for us by a third person. Examples of this are when policy makers decide for us and when brokers handle our investments. Others are estimating the risks for us and makes financial decisions from their perception of the situation and perhaps their own risk preferen
This thesis considers solitary standing wave solutions to the Davey-Stewart-son equation, which is a model for surface waves on a body of water in three dimensions. In a special case, the Davey-Stewartson equation is reduced to the well-known non-linear Schrödinger equation with cubic power which is known to have a countable familiy of radial standing waves. One of the aims of this thesis is to in
