E-handelsindustrin har länge använt sig av third-party cookies för att spåra internetanvändare, men 2024 kommer dessa att ha fasats ut från de största webbläsarna. Det nuvarande kunskapsläget kan varken besvara vad e-handlarna anser vara alternativ till third-party cookies eller vilka faktorer som leder till acceptans av dessa. Syftet med studien är därför att kvalitativt beskriva vad svenska e-ha

After the well-known spike in migrants crossing the Mediterranean in 2015- 2016, the EU has intensified its cooperation with third states on the field of migration.

Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. It is the only nutrient deficiency that is not exclusively prevalent in non-industrialized nations but also in all industrialized countries. Despite this, the treatment for the disease is inefficient, long and associated with side effects such as constipation and nausea. In recent years several studies have highlighted the diffe
Utifrån teorier om att det finns en koppling mellan deskriptiv representation och substantiell representation, behövs kvinnor i politiken för att kvinnors intressen ska representeras. Ett sådant kvinnligt intresse kan antas vara att kommunernas kvinnofridsarbete ska vara välfungerande och prioriterat. Samtidigt visar statistik att kvinnor endast sitter på 36% av alla ordförandeposter (i kommunstyr
In 2008 Stockholm County Council decided to finance the construction of a new university hospital in Solna, Stockholm utilising public-private partnership (PPP).

Concrete has been frequently used as a buildning material in modern time and is today one of the most applied buildningmaterials. Since the demand of sustainability is getting bigger, more focus is put on the large carbon dioxide emissions that happens due to the cementmanufacturing. One way to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions is to replace a part of the Portlandcement with residues from other
This paper investigates how multilingual speakers may recognize compounds, focusing on the theory that a multilingual recognizes a compound equivalent of a compound faster than a monomorphemic equivalent of a compound. To test this, I administered a translation recognition task to native speakers of Swedish who spoke English as their first L2. The informants were shown the pairs in sequence and ei
