Uppsatsen undersöker två förlags presentationer av aktuella författare genom att analysera författarpresentationerna på respektive förlags hemsida. Studien är utförd på två förlag med liknande utgivning, Bookmark och Forum. Förlagen liknar varandra både sett till vilka genrer de ger ut och vilka typer av författare. Resultaten visar vad förlagen har med i sina författarpresentationer. En analys oc

Som många kanske vet, är allting runtomkring oss (och även vi själva) uppbyggda av atomer. Atomer är dock inte de minsta byggstenarna som finns, då de består av en kärna -- som består av protoner och neutroner -- och elektroner. Även protonerna och neutronerna består av partiklar, så kallade kvarkar, men där tar det stopp. De här kvarkarna (och även elektronerna) är vad som kallas elementarpartiklIn this thesis the production of the $\Omega^-$ and $\Omega^+$ baryons, in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV, is analyzed as a function of charged-particle multiplicity. The events analyzed were recorded by the ALICE detector, at the LHC. The aim of the analysis is to study the QGP-signature of strangeness enhancement, in search for an enhancement of $\Omega^-$ and $\Omega^+$ at high m

The first three US Presidents of the century have, to say the least, had differing views concerning the nature of climate change and how this issue is addressed most appropriately – as noted by the fact that the issue has gone back and forth between being a security issue and basically disappearing from the security agenda altogether. In order to shine a light on how this has happened, this study

Summer 2018 I worked with a recycling coalition in the United States to investigate food waste as a topic essential in promoting environmental sustainability. We banded together with QFB, a large food bank, to focus on the problem of food waste in their food rescue process. During my time at QFB I noticed paradoxes between the practices and words of different stakeholders in the QFB system: most s

Förkortningen av ledtiden för utveckling av produkter påverkar kraftigt behovet av att ha ett strategiskt tillvägagångssätt för produktutvecklingsmetodik. Det är också av yttersta vikt att använda rätt verktyg och ha förståelse för digitaliseringen av industrin. I denna uppsats, som utförs efter en förfrågan från Scania, presenteras ett strategiskt tillvägagångssätt mot en modern produktkonceptutvThe shortening of the development lead time for products is heavily affecting the need for having a strategic approach to product development methodology. It is also of the utmost importance to use the right tools and have an understanding concerning the digitalization of the industry. Presented in this Master Thesis, conducted after an incitement from Scania, is a strategic approach towards a mod

The paper explores inclusion of dyslexic children in Uganda’s primary education system and aims to provide qualitative evidence on barriers and challenges impacting their educational attainments and social inclusion. The paper firstly examines scholarly research on dyslexia and inclusive education and establishes demographic patterns and development trends of inclusive primary education in Uganda.

Teknologins snabba utveckling och de omfattande förändringar som det inneburit för människans levnadssätt är både fascinerande och skrämmande. Allt eftersom tekniken utvecklats har vi kommit att bli mer beroende av elektroniska hjälpmedel, vilket ställt det moderna samhället inför utmaningen att finna nya energikällor och långsiktigt hållbara strategier att utvinna dem på. De senaste decennierna hAs the consumption of energy increase in today’s world, the need for new fuel sources is of central importance. In order to be considered viable in the long run, the new energy sources must provide high efficiency and low environmental impact. The search for alternative fuels and energy extraction methods have become increasingly focused on finding ways to mimic systems found within nature. Oxidor

The search for doubly charged Higgs bosons (H±±) aims at resolving the mass generation mechanism of neutrinos in the Standard Model. The current search by the ATLAS Same-Sign Dilepton group uses the decay product of H±± to a pair of same-sign hadronic τ-leptons, which is an extension of their previous search using same-sign dielectrons and dimuons. This thesis focuses on the study of one of the ba

This thesis investigate if the application of New Public Management organization theory in Swedish bureaucracy has influenced the states perception of non-profit organizations. The focus is on the non-profit sports association Riksidrottsförbundet. The method used for the thesis was a qualitative deep read of all official government investigations (spanning from year 1957 to 2008) concerning finan

Alzheimer’s disease is a severe neurodegenerative disease, affecting the life of millions of patients and those who stand close to them. There is an urgent need for new effective medical treatments targeting this disease, as up to now, there is none. GPR3, a highly constitutively active orphan G protein coupled receptor, was found to interact with several different molecules that are known to play

This essay aims to describe and analyse the consequences of the signing of the European Pillar of Social Rights. The subject has been up for a lot of discussions amongst the political parties in Sweden where their opinions differ on the meaning and consequences of the pillar. While some describe it as just a declaration, others describe it as the end of the Swedish labour market model. This essays

South African foreign policy underwent a major change with the end of the apartheid government. The first democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, focused on democracy, equality and social justice. Human rights were to guide foreign affairs and international peacekeeping played an important role. The three subsequent presidents, Thabo Mbeki, Jacob Zuma and Cyril Ramaphosa, all came to pre

In one way, international adoptees stands with one foot in each country. Their looks might make them look like they belong on the other side of the globe, but in manners, language, taste of music and interests they may be exactly like ethnical Swedish kids. Many adoptees experience that they don’t get looked at as swedes, because their appearance isn’t typical Swedish. This essay addressing if, an

Från år 2021 ska alla nybyggnationer i Europa vara nära-nollenergibyggnader. Detta innebär att byggnaders energianvändning bör vara låg och i mycket hög grad tillförs i form från förnybara energikällor som produceras på plats eller i närheten. Syftet med de höga energikraven är att påskynda takten för att skapa ett mer energieffektivt byggande. Den minskade energianvändningen tillsam-mans med en öFrom year 2021, all new buildings in Europe will be net zero-energy buildings. This means that the building's energy is supplied from renewable energy sources that are produced on site or nearby. The purpose of the high energy requirements is to accelerate the pace of creating more energy-efficient constructions. The reduced energy consumption, together with increased use of renewable energy,

This essay studies the expression of the nationalist discourse within Hungary's Family Protection Action Plan, a policy created due to low fertility rates. The study is conducted through a critical and discourse analytic approach. Methodologically, the essay is based on a feminist research ethic and Carol Lee Bacchis What's the problem represented to be ?. The Family Protection Action Plan

In a time where concern over migrant indebtedness as a cross-cutting development issue is growing around the world, this paper sets out to explore how migrant workers from Myanmar in Thailand perceive loans and debt, and how these perceptions may link with the migrants’ borrowing behaviour. Despite the prominence of the Myanmar-Thai migration corridor and evidence that indebtedness is common among

In this thesis, my aim is to offer a comprehensive normative analysis of the different types of ethical dilemmas that Swedish bureaucrats face in their everyday decision-making. By mainly focusing on value systems and different ethical schools discussed by Lundquist (1988, 1998), a complex picture arises with a variety of choices a bureaucrat faces all the way from policy initiation to implementa

State cooperation on transboundary waters is one of our times most crucial challenges to manage as freshwater securitization is the key to human survival, food production and economic growth. State shared water resources are causes of both political tension and territorial disputes. Drawn from a realism perspective this paper analyzes how and when China choose to formalize and not formalize intern
