Syftet med den här undersökningen var att få en djupare förståelse för män som utsätts för våld i nära relation av en kvinnlig partner. Vi har undersökt vilka normer som finns inbäddade i det faktum att en man blir slagen av en kvinna och hur dessa normer har påverkat männens syn på sin egen roll och valet att inte söka hjälp ur sin situation. Empirin har samlats in genom fyra självbiografier skriThe purpose of this study was to get a deeper understanding of men who are exposed to domestic violence by their female partners. We have examined the embedded norms related to the fact, that a man gets beaten by a woman, and how these norms have affected these men’s views on their role and their choice not to seek assistance to get out of their situation. The empirical data has been collected thr

This paper aims to investigate how a company ensures cross-team collaboration, what challenges there might be to this phenomenon, and lastly how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted this type of collaboration. The empirical data was collected through interviews with 12 employees from 5 different teams at a Medical-Technology company. The employees got to answer several questions about how they experie

Disposable hygiene products, such as gloves and aprons, are commonly and frequently used in healthcare environments and are essential to maintain the hygiene standard. They are placed in different types of carriers, primarily in examination rooms and are mounted on the walls. This creates some difficulties for product development and fast access because not all hygiene products fit all carriers an

This thesis, initiated by Thule Group, investigated how an ultra-lightweight roof top tent could be developed to improve and simplify the user experience during installation and use. The aim of the project was to design a roof top tent for two people, which could be handled and mounted on a car by one person. During the project, Double Diamond together with a human-centred design approach was use

This bachelor’s thesis explores assimilation of low-code technologies post-adoption within organisations. Through a qualitative approach involving nine semi-structured interviews, which were analysed thematically and discussed with resource-based theory, two distinct uses of low-code technologies are identified: as a technical facilitator for fast and cost-effective software development, and as a

När vi lär oss av nya erfarenheter är minnen till en början detaljrika och kontextspecifika, och är lättare att plocka fram när inlärningssituationen återinrättas. Med tiden och upprepade framplockningar tenderar dock vissa minnen att förlora kontextuella detaljer (dekontextualiseras), och bli åtkomliga för framplockning i nya situationer (generaliseras). Denna studie gjordes i syfte att undersökaWhen we learn from new experiences, memories are initially detailed and context-specific, making them easier to retrieve when the learning situation is reinstated. Over time and repeated retrievals, however, some memories tend to lose contextual details (decontextualize) and become accessible for retrieval in new situations (generalize). This study aimed to investigate under which circumstances th

The choice of society – who is to vote? Opportunities to participation in the general elections for people with intellectual disabilities related to the Swedish national objective of an accessible society for all citizens The aim of this study is twofold; first to examine how Swedish government authorities and other relevant actors in the society regard the accessibility of general elections for

Title: NPD Project Evaluation in the Manufacturing Industry Seminar date: 26 May 2015 Course: FEKN90 Authors: Carl Ekbom and Alexander Wrange Supervisor: Ph.D. Christian Koch Key words: NPD projects, evaluation methods, evaluation criteria, portfolio management, manufacturing industry Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of how new project de-velopment (NPD) project

Att leva med en cervikal ryggmärgsskada innebär många begränsningar i vardagen, inte minst när det gäller något så simpelt som att greppa ett objekt. Personer med cervikal ryggmärgsskada kan modifiera eller använda speciellt anpassade vardagsföremål för att göra det enklare att greppa dem. Det är viktigt att anpassa föremålen utifrån individens förmågor och begränsningar. Tendo är ett företag som Living with a cervical spinal cord injury entails many limitations in everyday life, not least when it comes to something as simple as gripping an object. Individuals with a cervical spinal cord injury can modify or use specially adapted everyday objects to make gripping them easier. It is important to customize the objects based on the individual's abilities and limitations. Tendo is a compan

In the ongoing joint venture between Ericsson and ST Microelectronics, EMP spend data needed to be extracted, consolidated and analyzed to support the ongoing joint venture. Provide an understanding what spend analysis is and how it can support the business and operations in the company. Purpose: The purpose with this master thesis was to create a foundation of spend analysis knowledge at the comp

Polarisation spectroscopy (PS) was used to probe CO2 gas concentration in a CO2/N-2 binary mixture at atmospheric pressure and ambient temperature. The CO2 molecules were probed by a direct laser excitation to an overtone and combination vibrational state. The tuneable narrow linewidth infrared laser radiation at 2 mum was obtained by Raman shifting of the output from a single-longitudinal-mode pu

Aggregation of the amyloid β-protein (Aβ) is believed to be involved in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis. Here we have investigated the importance of the aromatic rings at positions 19 and 20 for the aggregation rate and mechanism by substituting phenylalanine with leucine. Aggregation kinetics were monitored as a function of time and peptide concentration by thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence, the a

C3 and C5 convertases are central stages of the complement cascade since they converge the different initiation pathways, augment complement activation by an amplification loop and lead to a common terminal pathway resulting in the formation of the membrane attack complex. Several complement inhibitors attenuate convertase formation and/or accelerate dissociation of convertase complexes. Functiona

Resistivity imaging in combination with drill hole information is a powerful tool in geotechnical site investigations. Traditionally the resistivity data is inverted with a 2D smooth inversion algorithm, resulting in a minimum structure model. In the geological interpretation it can be difficult to determine sharp layer boundaries in these models. An additional parameterized inversion of resistivi

Lignocellulose hydrolysate is an abundant substrate for bioethanol production. The ideal microorganism for such a fermentation process should combine rapid and efficient conversion of the available carbon sources to ethanol with high tolerance to ethanol and to inhibitory components in the hydrolysate. A particular biological problem are the pentoses, which are not naturally metabolized by the mai

The effects of ionizing radiation in different compositions of polymer gel dosimeters are investigated using FT-Raman spectroscopy and NMR T2 relaxation times. The dosimeters are manufactured from different concentrations of comonomers (acrylamide and N,N'-methylene-bis-acrylamide) dispersed in different concentrations of an aqueous gelatin matrix. Results are analysed using a model of fast exchan

OBJECTIVE: Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a peripheral arterial disease manifested by drastically diminished blood flow to the legs, pain at rest, nonhealing wounds, and gangrene caused by atherosclerosis. Significant tissue necrosis is associated with late stage CLI and the patients have a poor prognosis. Necrotic and apoptotic cells activate complement and bind complement inhibitor C4b-binding

The TRE3 research project focuses on the development of a new and innovative timber frame wall modulus for emergency housing facilities. The wall modulus, in this paper referred to as Hybrid Timber Frame (HTF) wall system, is an evolution of the traditional Light-Frame Timber (LFT) structural systems and combines the advantages and some peculiar aspects of lightweight structures to the potentialit
