The purpose of this study was to gain deeper knowledge about men’s violence against women and how women comprehended violent incidents in their relationships, and how they made violence understandable for themselves. Our intention was to gain a deeper understanding of the reasons women gave for staying in violent relationships. The method chosen for this study was a thematic analysis, using five d
Today’s sports glasses are great for rather extreme sports like biking, skiing and running often in tough weather conditions. They protect against wind, rain, blinding sun in the snow but also insects and dirt. But what about those people who perform casual sports such as gym, jogging, and yoga? I made a survey to find out the main reasons why people don’t use their own glasses while perform
Every laboratory involved with liquid chromatography (LC) has to solve the issue of a supply of mobile phase. In the case of reversed-phase liquid chromatography the mobile phase is polar in nature and most commonly aqueous solutions. With a source of distilled water in-house the possibility of creating a mobile phase supply is within reach. A pair of retired LC systems is being repurposed for an
This thesis takes on a case study approach and investigates the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland’s opposition towards the coal phase-out in Germany. The party is known for its contrarian position towards (human-made) climate change. Drawing on literature that investigates the populist radical right as well as climate change denial (also referred to as ‘scepticism’), a frami
Dörrsimulator - att skapa automatiserade tester I detta projekt skapades ett program för att kunna simulera en industriell port. Resultatet blev lyckat med ett program som kunde simulera portar som öppnas och stängs. Programmet kommer i framtiden att kunna användas för att testa produkter på företaget ASSA ABLOY. Detta examensarbete skrevs för ASSA ABLOY på deras avdelning Industrial Door SolutiThis report describes the development of a simulator for the simulations if industrial doors. The project has been conducted at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, industrial door solutions in Landskrona. The purpose of this thesis project was to design and implement a system that can replicate the behaviour of an industrial door on a test-rig. The design should follow requirements set by ASSA ABLOY suc
The aim of the study was to evaluate care given at a diabetes foot clinic from the patient's perspective. A comparison between Swedish- and foreign-born patients with severe diabetic foot ulcers/problems concerning their experiences of the content and organisation of health care was made. A qualitative, descriptive study design was chosen and a consecutive sampling procedure was used. Fifteen
The research for this study, concerning trade unions within the maquila industry, has been carried out during a three months period in the Central American country of El Salvador. Fieldwork and research has been financed by the MFS (Minor Field Study) scholarship of SIDA. Research questions used throughout the field study have focused on the possibility of unionization and the role and position of
Abstract This study deals with the theory of the social capital and the addiction of cannabis. Social capital is a theoretical perspective with no specific concept. The aim was to compare the definitions of friendship and the addiction of seven law students. The purpose of this paper, with the support of the theory of the social capital, was to investigate the students’ reactions and how they act
Models of physical systems are often expressed as a system of mathematical expressions derived from first principles. However some of the relationships present in a model are more conveniently expressed as a table, i.e. for certain values of independent variables the values of dependent variables are known. This imposes a limitation on the optimization software to be used, since optimization softw
Implications of the whole - an examination of three public art works; Park Play, On site in Fridhem and Monument to Work The following thesis investigate three different public art works realized in Sweden during the 2000’s. These include "Park Lek" by Kerstin Bergendal, "På plats i Fridhem" by Astrid Göransson and "Arbetets Monument" by Alexandra Pirici. All three a
To attract and to appeal to their consumers, designs and concepts of advertisements continually have to be changed in an industry that is saturated with similar campaigns. In this thesis, I analyse how this change is created through the depiction of “ugly models”. The focus lies on the way of their presentation in advertisements in order to make the “ugly” attractive. Based on the models’ presenta
Rapid urbanization has dramatically increased housing demand in Hanoi, the capital city of Vietnam. To alleviate housing shortage, the city of Hanoi has developed a housing program of which the major part is housing development through new urban area projects. New urban area, or new town, projects are large-scale developments designed mainly for residential purposes, with integrated infrastructure
One particular approach of behavioral economics has gained attention within environmental politics during the last decade. The idea of nudging (“gently pushing”) people in situations of decision-making towards the choice that in the long run is best for them as well as for the society and/or the environment seems to attract policy makers around the world. Many governments inside and outside the EU
The purpose of this Master's Thesis was to gain insight to how injection molded nanostructures could be used together with hearing instrument materials. The reason to investigate this new nanotechnology was to see if it is of interest for Oticon to invest in. To reach conclusions, literature was studied regarding surfaces wetting properties, capillary effects, adhesion and material properties.
Have you ever taken a closer look at the packages in your home? They consist of several layers of different materials, among them layers of polymer. They all contribute to protect the product.In this thesis methods for measuring and calculating the adhesion between the inside polymer layer and the aluminium layer of Tetra Pak’s packaging materials have been investigated. This was done both by exploring the possibilities of combining peel tests with the ICPeel method, and by developing ideas for new measuring methods. One of the ideas was built on a test setup for a close-to normal dire
Situation Awareness is defined as: “The perception of the elements in the environment within a volume of time and space, the comprehension of their meaning, and projection of their status in the future”. For a power system operator, sufficient Situation Awareness is achieved, when they know the current state of the system, why the system is in that particular state, and know if the power system wi
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det i teorin beskrivs faktorer inom hur man framgångsrikt kommunicerar en förändringsprocess som inte appliceras i praktiken, vilket i så fall kan ligga till grund för att en så stor del av förändringsprocesser inte implementeras. Metod: En kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie utifrån en deduktiv ansats. Uppsatsens empiriska material insamlades genom semistrukturerObjective: The objective of this dissertation is to investigate whether relevant theory describes certain elements that facilitates communicating a change process successfully, which are not applied in practice and could thus constitute for the large amount of change processes that are never implemented. Method: A cross-sectional study with a deductive and qualitative approach. The dissertations’
The third UN Millennium Development Goal promotes “achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women” (UNDP 2013). It reflects the fact that violence against women (VAW) is a problem of global proportions which hinders the achievement of gender equality and at the same time has negative effects on countries’ social and economical well-being. In Peru, numerous efforts by the government, nation
The CASA-paradigm, Computers Are Social Actors, was introduced in the book "The Media Equation" by Reeves and Nass. One of their experiments concluded that we tend to be polite to computers in the same way as we are to people. In this study I have replicated Reeves and Nass experiment but instead of a text-based interface I have used a virtual agent in order to find out if we are polit
