Bakgrund: Axelbesvär är vanligt förekommande bland handbollsspelare och kan negativt påverka både spelarnas prestation och deras kasthastighet. Trots tidigare forskning kring förebyggande träningsprogram för axelbesvär finns begränsad evidens för effekten av kortare tids duration av träningsprogram för unga handbollsspelare, både gällande smärtreducering och ökad kasthastighet. Syfte: Syftet med s

Stormfloder orsakar förhöjda vattennivåer och kraftiga vågor. Det kan leda till omfattande erosion och översvämning längs med den drabbade kusten, vilket kan utgöra ett verkligt hot mot kustnära samhällen. Som en del av riskbedömningen kan det vara intressant att studera överspolningssediment (washover) som deponerats under tidigare stormfloder. Men för att kunna särskilja dessa ur det sedimentäraStorm surges cause elevated water levels and strong waves. This can lead to severe erosion and flooding along the affected coast, which can pose a real threat to coastal communities. As part of the risk assessment, it may be interesting to study washover sediments deposited during previous storm surges. However, in order to distinguish these in the sedimentary archive, their characteristics must b

Läroplanens öppna och delvis implicita formulering gällande språkhistoria för kursen Svenska 3 på gymnasiet bidrar till ett brett tolkningsutrymme, vilket i praktiken kan leda till betydande variationer för undervisningen. Samtidigt som tolkningsutrymmet möjliggör anpassningar riskerar det även att nedprioritera ämnesområdet till förmån för annat. Studiens syfte är att kartlägga hur svensklärare pThe curriculum’s open and partly implicit formulation regarding language history in the course Swedish 3, contributes to a broad scope for interpretation, which in practice can lead to significant variations in teaching. While this interpretive flexibility allows for adaptation, it also risks deprioritizing the subject area in favor of other content. The aim of the study is to explore how upper se

With the growing development and general interest of smart living, made possible through Internet-of-Things, a need for the exploration and studies of how smart homes can be made more accessible has been increasingly more evident. This master’s thesis examines how the interaction with smart home technology can be improved via high accessibility and usability, regardless of any end-users technical

Flera olika synsätt på rättskraftens omfattning har genom historien presenterats. Traditionellt sett har ett samband mellan rättskraften i 17 kap. 11 § Rättegångsbalken (RB) och 13 kap. 3 § st. 3 RB, taleändringsregeln, utpekats. Genom Högsta domstolens avgöranden har rättskraften utvidgats och rättsläget börjat klarna. Denna uppsats syftar till att dels undersöka rättskraftens omfattning närmre, Several different opinions on the scope of res judicata have been presented throughout history. Traditionally a connection between res judicata in chapter 17, article 11 of the Swedish Code of Judicial Procedure (RB) and the rule of amendment in chapter 13, article 3, paragraph 3 RB has been pointed out. Through the rulings of the Supreme Court the scope of res judicata has been expanded and its d

This master’s thesis explores how a Global Manufacturing Network can be designed with predefined requirements for local final assembly at an overseas plant. This was done in collaboration with Alfa Laval, where the global manufacturing network of Freshwater Generators (FWGs) was analyzed. The study evaluated options of sourcing directly from suppliers and via the main factory to different extents.

Studien ämnade att undersöka hur väl personlighet respektive könsidentifiering, var för sig respektive tillsammans, kan predicera ideologisk orientering. För att undersöka detta användes personlighetstestet HEXACO och könsidentifieringstestet BSRI. Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka väljarförståelsen. Studien utgick ifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval (N=272), med 171 kvinnor och 101 män. Samtliga var svenThis aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Sw

Nowadays, the immense amount of discussions exists regarding the gender roles and social inequalities between men and women in the world. The concept of gender equality can be distinguished differently when it comes to the country’s political and economic issues, and aspects such as culture, traditions, history and mentality, that play a crucial role in the creation of the society. Being one of th

The role of environmental permits as a driver for environmental improvements has been a topic of debate for a while. Many permitting regulations were designed in the 1970's and have not been updated since then. Consequently, they have acted mostly as a driver for the adoption of pollution control technologies. Some experts now see that appropriately designed and implemented environmental permi

Coniferous as spruce (more specifically Norway spruce, Picea abies) and deciduous species like European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and oak (Quercus spp.) co exist in south Sweden. In perspective of climate change, species composition of Swedish forests is assumed to change. Observed climate on the period 1950-2010 prove that a general warming trend is occurring in southern Sweden, and that vegetation

The objective of this study has been to investigate if and how traditional actors and practices are taken into account in contemporary professional social work in Ghana. A ten-week ethnographic field study was conducted in the Department of Social Work at the University of Ghana where the research objective was investigated from a perspective of social work education. Traditional actors refer to e

Titel: Validering av en handledsburen aktivitetsmätare och en självskattningskala för beräkning av VO2max. Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet och god aerob kapacitet är kopplat till god hälsa och lägre risk för livsstilsrelaterade sjukdomar. I dagsläget anses maximalt arbetsprov med ergospirometri och gasanalys för bestämning av VO2max (VO2max-test) vara det mest exakta sättet att mäta aerob kapacitet. Su

α-Synuclein is an intrinsically disordered protein implied in still not-well-known healthy function and also found as the main component of aggregates in Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites, hallmarks of the Parkinson’s disease. In both of cases, the interaction with lipid membranes is crucial. In this study we propose the investigation of the interaction between α-Synuclein and model systems made of DO

This study takes a critical stance and examines how the official city branding discourse in China's megacity Shenzhen affects citizens' sense of belonging. More specifically, through an empirical study of the extreme case, it intends to bring new knowledge to the critical cultural stream of city branding research, especially in the Chinese socio-cultural context. The current academic resea

With the increased loss of control over the organizational identity (OrI) in social media, research has started to encourage organizations to hand over control of the OrI to the creation and distribution of stakeholders. This has created challenges for the strategic communicator in managing the OrI internally, as the employees adapt to the OrI in the mind of the stakeholder rather than the OrI set

Miljö- och klimatpåverkan är idag centralt inom byggbranschen. För att uppnå de globala och nationella mål som existerar krävs fler åtgärder för att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. Byggsektorn står idag för cirka 21 % av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. Klimatberäkningar är ett sätt att uppmärksamma aktörer på den klimatpåverkan branschen utgör och öka motivationen till förändring. I dThe environmental and climate impact are today central within the building sector. To meet the global and national emission goals more actions need to be taken to reduce the impact of the building sector which is responsible for 21% of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions. Climate calculations are a great step in the right direction to draw attention to the impact a building has on the environm
