Sociala nätverk tar stor plats på Internet genom virtuella communities. Användare har en större möjlighet att nå dem via mobila lösningar och därmed göra dem till mobila communities. Kriterierna som ligger till grund för framgång för virtuella communities vill vi applicera på mobila communities. För att undersöka dessa kriterier, och bakomliggande faktorer, har vi valt att titta på “tidigt bruk” a
Genetic correlations for a trait across environments are predicted to decrease as environments diverge. However, estimates ofgenetic correlations from natural populations are typically defined across a limited environmental range and prone to very largestandard errors, making it difficult to test this prediction.

This thesis aims to develop new synthetic methods and explore the possibilities to apply it in the total synthesis of natural products.Chapter 2 deals with a mild procedure for the synthesis of a-keto amides by a-oxidation of the corresponding aketo amines mediated by pyrrolidine and TEMPO. The method can also be applied to the synthesis of a-keto thioamides and a-keto amidines.Chapter 3 deals witThis thesis aims to develop new synthetic methods and explore the possibilities to apply it in the total synthesis of natural products.Chapter 2 deals with a mild procedure for the synthesis of a-keto amides by a-oxidation of the corresponding aketo amines mediated by pyrrolidine and TEMPO.

Older women make a significant contribution to the labour market yet still experiencenegative workplace impacts. We undertook a rapid review of literature to assess theexperiences of older female workers in the European labour market with the aim toidentify current research gaps. We discuss how current data and future research couldbe utilized to improve the working lives of older women in Europe.
The article depicts the intense and at times unpredictable fable transfer in eighteenth-century Europe by tracing the source text of one of the most acclaimed works in Swedish fable history, Anna Maria Lenngren’s “Björndansen” [The dance of the bear]. This verse fable, published in Stockholms Posten in 1799 and bringing questions of literary quality and literary criticism into focus, was classifie
ABSTRACTThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations. The study is based on a qualitative content analysis of a design project conducted in a science centre for children aged 7-10 years, learning about polymers and circularity. The design project is based on research through design and has been an iterative process where design experiments and observaThis study aims to explore the scope of ‘knowledge-carrying’ objects in learning situations.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the EU and the member states. There is a vide range of theoretical approaches intended to develop a greater comprehension in why European integration take place and how the political process within the EU can be explained. This study aims to test two competing integration theories, Liberal Intergovernmentalism and Sociological Instit
This article is the product of a close chronological reading of the debate surrounding the so called ‘’ISIS-returnees’’ in Sweden during the spring of 2019. The debate itself, as well as the situation it concerned, has been treated as a discursive field where a securitization has been attempted and resisted by several actors. The study has found that an intersubjective struggle between these actor
Thesis Purpose: Purpose of this thesis is to explore consumer perception of innovation in grocery retail products in Sweden. Particularly focusing on how consumers perceive innovation within private label and manufacturer brands. Methodology: Qualitative analysis has been conducted through semi-structured interviews in order to understand consumer perceptions towards innovation in grocery sector i
The purpose of this study is to examine what the life situation of street children in Tehran might look like based on the perceptions of social workers at Noore Sepid Hedayat (NSH), an NGO based in Tehran. At the same time the aim is to study how street children may be treated by different members of the society as well as how they can get in contact with such NGO as NSH, based on the perceptions
Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi
As climate change emerges as an urgent issue, the role of cities in responding to climate change is also becoming increasingly important. Cities can contribute to greenhouse gas reduction through local level climate action. In addition, it is essential for cities to develop local level adaptation plan in order to deal with inevitable climate change since the impacts of climate change local specifi
The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain how meal-box, as a digital device designed to assist households in carrying out eating practices, reconfigure household practices and enable specific behavioural activities, including sustainability. Taking a socio-material and practice theory approach and drawing on an ethnographic study of three meal-box providers – The Seasons, Hello Fresh and L
In 2008 occurred the beginning of what was to become the most comprehensive, global, financial crisis in modern time. The recent crisis has been substantial for most developed countries, where almost all Eurozone members have showed negative economic results. Our goal is to determine, with as much accuracy as possible, if austerity contributes to the Eurozone-countries’ recovery process from the E

The background for this master thesis project is a problem to describe performance of a small 150 kW organic Rankine cycle power plant. Climeon AB in Kista, has developed the unit, and the product is currently in use at different customers. The ”HP150” unit is made with a modular approach. It is a factory made box-shaped unit which is able to be installed at a variety of sites. The aim of this proj
Alcoholic beverage marketing communication has been observed to be highly, and stereotypically gendered. However, there is a common misconception that men and women are fundamentally different in their alcoholic beverage preferences and behaviours, therefore questioning the appropriateness of segregating products based on gender. Not only has this binary approach to gender been proven to create si
This study attempts to answer the question as to what extent a political party that sustains a minority government in office, without forming a coalition government, can fulfil its electoral pledges. The study focuses on two minor Swedish parties, namely Vänsterpartiet (the Left party) and Miljöpartiet (Green Party) during the term of 1998-2002 when these parties supported and sustained the Social
