Sustainability research builds upon its mutual relationship with the society to find futureoriented solutions to deal with societal challenges. In other words, it is a matter of research to produce societal impact. Furthermore, funders and researchers themselves increasingly desire for accountability, to show if societal impact is achieved. To deal with that, two adaptive questions have to be answ

International migration facilitated by contemporary globalization has brought about feelings of insecurity in terms of identity for both the host societies as well as incoming immigrants posing a major obstacle in host countries to integrate immigrants into society. In such context, social exclusion and discrimination can occur. The author argues that this is not a one-directional process. In orde

En två-kolonn MCSGP process för upprening av Liraglutid genomfördes i laboratorieskala. Den här processen är inte en kommersiell uppreningsprocess, utan att den är ett modellsystem med en realistisk peptidblandning och med en icke-kommersiell harts. Först modellerades processen med en konvektiv dispersiv modell för att beskriva koncentrationen genom kolonnen och den steriska massaktionsmodellen föA twin-column MCSGP process for the purification of Liraglutide was implemented at lab scale. This process is not a commercial separation step, but it is a model system with a realistic peptide mixture and with a non-commercial resin. First, the process was modeled using a convective dispersive model to describe the concentration along the column and the steric mass action model to describe the ad

Enaxligt kompressionstest för undersökning av kemisk-mekanisk växelverkan i biologiska material Mjuka biologiska vävnader är material som består av flera olika beståndsdelar. Hur en vävnad deformeras under mekanisk belastning beror inte bara på de individuella beståndsdelarnas egenskaper, utan även på interaktioner mellan beståndsdelarna. För att undersöka dessa effekter krävs specifika numeriskaSoft biological tissues and engineered hydrogels for biomedical applications are intrinsically multiphasic materials, consisting of solid, fluid and possibly fixed and mobile ions. Understanding their mechanical behaviour requires experimental methods and theoretical models that take their multiphasic nature into account and allow for quantification of material parameters related to the different

The aim of this study is to understand how employment officers within the sections of establishment at the employment office think of newly arrived immigrant women´s establishment on the Swedish labour market. The study is based on the effecting factors from a micro and macro perspective, I have therefor chosen to look at the enabling and the aggravating factors in relation to individual and socia

In this paper a planned Cycle Super Highway between two Swedish cities, Malmö and Lund, are studied with the focus onto what extent public participation should be implemented in the planning process. The question at issue was examined by performing quantitative interviews with cyclists traveling the current route, a common bicycle path, and also by interviewing three planners representing public a

The last few decades have witnessed the expansion of the role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the policy-making process, a phenomenon referred to as “judicialization”. This shift of legislative power from the legislators to the judges inevitably has consequences for all the different interests involved. The aim of the thesis is to study the phenomenon of judicialization in the EU

This research project provides insights in how knowledge workers make sense of their context of job insecurity in terms of motivation and aims to develop a theoretical understanding on motivation from a more conceptual point of view. There are several universally acknowledged motivation theories that claim to explain what motivates people. According to these theories, the job-threatening situation

During the last decades, there have been tremendous improvements in Silicon-based transistor technologies such as operational speed increase as well as size and cost reduction. However, the bandwidth in modern processors is significantly limited by the data transfer in the metallic interconnects. Inspired by the long-range telecommunication technologies, the industry is developing the field of int

The objective of the study was to test Ebaughs theory on the exit processes may add to our understanding of role changes. This essay has researched author’s descriptions of the way out of social vulnerability in autobiographies to discover similarities to Ebaughs theory. The sample in the study has consisted three autobiographies addressing different social issues. Material in the study has been c

Architectural education is most of the time based on architectural tasks with little connection to real circumstances of a building process. The projects focuses on design and the result of the projects is abstractions of the reality, such as drawings, diagrams and models. Architecture through practice aims to explore parts of the architectural practice which we usually don’t have to think about i

This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how

Within a technology-driven company, product usability and interaction design is usually not the main focus. This thesis applies a Human-Centered design process with the aim of creating a more usable and intuitive product. The project is made in collaboration with Axis Communications who aims to expand its portfolio by transferring two intercoms from its subsidiary 2N Telekomunikace to its own asso

The adolescent experience has over the last twenty years differed immensely from earlier generations. Generation Z, born somewhere between 1995 and 2010, are what some would call ‘digital natives’, being the very first children to be brought up in a digital advanced world with easy access to information and inspiration through constant connection to the world wide web. This research draws in parti

This thesis process started with us wondering what happens with employee engagement in an organisation where the employees have been forced to conduct their work from home. We were also interested in the view of subordinates as well as HR-managers, their experiences and perceptions of employee engagement and how this was managed while working from home. This is what we have investigated in a finan

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

Framtidens generation av solceller innehåller nanotrådar, men vilka risker kan materialet utgöra på återvinningsanläggningar? De mycket små semikonduktiva nanotrådar effektiviserar framtidens solceller och det är möjligt att nästa generations solceller kommer bli en vanlig syn i samhället. Men, aktuell forskning pekar på att nanotrådarna har farliga egenskaper för människors hälsa och miljö. Det The rise of solar cells have been received with open arms as a renewable energy resource in Sweden. The new generation of solar cells containing semi conductive type III-V nanowires may pose, without proper safety measures, negative implications on health and the environment. In this study an overview of possible risks is considered in the waste management with solar cells containing nanowires. Al
