Popular science summary: The European silver eel oceanic migration During the past 30 years the population of the European silver eel has been declining dramatically. This is a commercially important species and several action plans have been established but little information about the biology of the European eel is known. During the EELIAD project female silver eels were electronically tagged

The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in

This study sought to investigate the effect of microplastics on Mytilus edulis’s ability to filtrate water. The mussels were sampled at Hanö bay located in the Baltic Sea, and were transported to a controlled environment. The mussels were exposed to three different solutions, one containing a concentration of 1 000 Microbeads (diameter 10 μm) per liter, one containing the same amount of plastic be

Sammanfattning Instansordningsprincipen är en förvaltningsrättslig princip som huvudsakligen medför att parterna i ett förvaltningsmål är förhindrade att tillföra nytt processmaterial i högre instanser. Principen är, emellertid, inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Förvaltningsprocesslagen (1971:291), FPL. Istället är det upp till förvaltningsdomstolarna att tolka de uttalande som finns i förarbetena tiSummary The principle of the court hierachy is a principle within administrative law whose intention is to prevent the parties to add new case material in the higher instances. The principle, however, is not explicitly stated in the Administrative Court Procedure Act (1971: 291), FPL. Instead, the administrative courts are given the task to interpret various statements contained in the legislative

Organisational learning is assumed to be a part of creating improved work processes in an organisation. This type of learning can be difficult to achieve in operational and reactive work environments. Challenges in observable causality, time constraints and complex external conditions means that the operational control room is one of those reactive work environments. There is a need for a system t

The basis of this study lies in implementing Information systems (IS) and the related issue of user resistance. An IS-implementation can be a challenging process and there are numerous pitfalls. One of these pitfalls is the emergence of user resistance, and previous research indicates the management of user resistance can be affected by contextual factors of the IS-implementation. The purpose of t

Postindustrial Malmö relies heavily on stories and images as engines for economic growth. Cities use place marketing strategies to attract capital, investments and affluent residents. The evident focus on economic growth has led to a significantly polarized city in which people with low-incomes, usually ethnic minorities, live in segregated areas such as Rosengård. Segregated and poor areas become

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

Denna rapport beskriver en produktutvecklingsprocess med målet att förbättra det nuvarande utbudet av infällda fästen för övervakningskameror i inomhustak. Ett infällt fäste är ett tillbehör som används när kameror, eller andra produkter, skall monteras i innertak när ett så diskret resultat som möjligt är målet. Målet var att designa en lösning som kan monteras snabbt, enkelt och med bara en handThis master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to extend the existing range of mounts for surveillance cameras mounted recessed in ceilings. A recessed mount is an accessory for mounting cameras, or other devices, in ceilings when a discreet finish is wanted. The goal was to design a solution that can be mounted fast, easy and with the use of one hand only. The comp

Kvinnor som förövare har historiskt sett varit ett relativt outforskat ämne. Den kriminologiska forskningen har utgått från studier på män samt utveck-lat teorier baserade på män. Kriminellt beteende har setts som avvikande från normativa föreställningar kring det kvinnliga könet och femininiteter. Ett specifikt kriminellt beteende som kan sägas än mer avvika från norma-tiva femininiteter är då kvWomen as perpetrators have historically been overlooked as a subject. The criminological research and its theories are based on men. Criminal behav-ior has been considered as deviant in relation to normative views of the fe-male sex and femininities. A specific criminal behavior that could be con-sidered even more deviant is the one where women sexually abuse children. These women fit neither the

The purpose with this paper is to put forward the complexity with employees’ identification with an organizations brand and the organization overall. We wish to examine the effects of internal employer branding, both through mainstream perspectives as well as through normative control. We hope to contribute with empirical support and deepen the knowledge for the impact that the brand has for the e

In today’s society people are influenced by technological developments. Technology changed the consumer’s behavior, but also the way companies evolved over time. Nowadays, technology is accessible for everyone, which leads to fast changing environments with a lot of competition. There are limited studies that focus on teams of new ventures in comparison to the lone entrepreneur. However, there are

In recent years, insufficient obstetric care has been a highly debated topic in Swedish media and politics. However, despite reports on e.g. the country’s high prevalence of birthing injuries, the recent closing of numerous maternity wards and a severe lack of midwives, the development of Sweden’s medical birth outcomes has been stable. Thus, based on the assumptions that (I) said quality measurem

Skin ages as a result of the failure of several mechanisms that are triggered by both internal and external factors. The accumulation of damaged proteins is an effect that comes with age due to the dysfunction of the proteasomes and their decline in activity, which leads to dull looking skin. In addition, as we age the effects seen on are skin includes the formation of age spots as well as hyperpi

Saving battery time for mobile devices has been a goal for the industry for many years. With the advent of smartphones, reduction of energy consumption is even more important since they consume a lot more energy than the generation of mobile phones before them. Consumers are demanding longer battery life and greener electronics. One way to meet these demands is to reduce energy consumption. In ord

This thesis explores the evolution of British nationalism regarding two major historical segments - industrialisation and imperialism - considering Brexit. The essay aims to reveal the true colours of Global Britain, and it is based on two dominant sections, the origins of British nationalism, as they are described by Ernest Gellner, Liah Greenfeld and Krishan Kumar, and its development into a har

On a global scale, the energy system is the biggest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which accelerate the processes of global warming and climate change. The sustainability transition of energy systems is fundamental if the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to below 2˚C compared to preindustrial levels is to be achieved. Transitions ar

The aim of this study was to examine the experiences of change in hospital social counselors counseling with patients during the Covid-19 pandemic, based on the topics “use of digital tools” and “the use of infection control equipment and infection control in general”. Furthermore, the study seeks to understand how the change in work methods caused by the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the perceiv

The study aimed to research some social workers in the department of children and families services' view of the case “Lilla hjärtat” and the dilemmas of the case. This case, a 4-year old girl who died in the care of her parents, is well known in Sweden through the media, and the case has led to a public inquiry. The study was a case study based on seven semi-structured qualitative interviews
