The objective of this thesis is to develop a methodology for evaluating the performance of material models during biaxial loads. This is done by executing identical punch tests, one in a simulation and one in a physical experiment, and then comparing the results from the two. The material model that is to be evaluated is used in the simulation and a specimen of the corresponding material in the ph
As part of the practices connected with folk medicine in Sweden, as well as in the rest of the Nordic countries, is an old literary genre grown from the combination of oral and literary traditions – svartkonstböcker, literally translated to black art books. These books were used by the professionals in the field of folk medicine, namely the wise old men and women. Contained in the books are ritual
In light of video games and gaming becoming a more normalized and widespread phenomenon this essay examines how personal memories are created and used from playing video games. I have used the games BioShock Infinite and Metro 2033 as a basis for this discussion. The study is based on observations of internet forums centred around the games and live streams of people playing them. The theoretical
Syftet med denna uppsats är att få mer kunskap om violinkonserter genom att analysera Bachs violinkonsert i a-moll och Sjostakovitj första violinkonsert. Efter att ha studerat orkesterpartituren har jag kunnat få en djupare förståelse för strukturen och metoderna som används av dessa tonsättare.The aim of this project is to attain more knowledge about violin concertos, by analysing Bach’s violin concerto in A minor and Shostakovich’s first violin concerto. Through studying the orchestral scores of each piece I have been able to get a deeper understanding of the structure and methods being used by these composers.
Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term. Furthermore, water scarcity poses a critical challenge for Kenya, particularly i

This thesis investigates the EU’s strategic autonomy which refers to the EU’s strive for increased independence without having to rely on other countries in important policy areas. EU strategic autonomy was introduced in 2013 and has become a higher priority due to recent geopolitical changes. The research question is how the EU balances strategic autonomy with their commitments to multilateralism
This research project examines the research on safe and forced repatriation and how those concepts have been contested in research, especially in the case of Syrian repatriation from Lebanon. It focuses on how there needs to be nuance and fluidity added to the perception of safe repatriation. It suggests that voluntary repatriation is a disguise for forced repatriation and that research needs to f
Galektiner är proteiner som är involverade i många biologiska funktioner så som celldelning, cellvandring och celldöd bland många fler. Deras närvaro är betydande i sjukdomar som akut inflammation, ärrbildning, allergier och cancer. Galektinfamiljen består av 15 medlemmar där majoriteten av dem finns i människor. Speciellt galektin-3 är ett intressant protein att studera eftersom det har visats vaGalectins are cytosolic protein family involved in several biological functions such as cell differentiation, cell migration and apoptosis amongst many others. Their presence is also substantial in diseases including acute inflammation, fibrosis, allergies, and cancer. This protein family consists of 15 members where the majority of them are found in humans and they are divided into three subgroup
Genomgående i det empiriska materialet var att alla chefer ville se sig som en ledare, en förebild som föregick med gott exempel för sina medarbetare. Ingen ville direkt förlika sig med titeln chef. Uppfattningen fanns att en bra ledare finns där för sina medarbetare och sätter deras behov framför sina egna. Självledarskap är något som i princip alla utförde i olika grad och vissa gjorde det mer m

Har du också noterat att fokuset på elproduktion och den återkommande användningen av orden energi- eller klimatomställning blivit allt vanligare i debatter och samtal de senaste åren? En av många anledningarna till detta är att utbyggnad av billig fossilfri elproduktion potentiellt skulle kunna vara del av lösningen på både den pågående elkrisen, ett sätt att mildra klimatförändringarna samt en fThe ongoing energy transition towards a fossil-free electricity production and sustainable future is essential to mitigate climate change and a matter of global concern. However, there are still knowledge gaps that presents challenges to the transition, one of which is opposing land-use interest and geographical placement of new electricity infrastructure. This study was conducted in collaboration

The classification of toxic comments is a well-researched area with many techniques available. However, effectively managing multi-label categorization still requires a considerable amount of work. In this thesis, we performed a classification experiment on over 200 thousand comments from the Jigsaw toxic comment competition data available on Kaggle. We aimed to optimize a model to identify six di
Among foreign-born women there is a significant employment gap compared to native women as well as foreign-born men. At the same time public institutions have been deemed as unable to deliver labor market integration efforts that are adapted to the needs of foreign-born women, which has been pointed out as a necessity. In this context, civil society-municipal partnerships have been recognized as a
I Sverige gav byggbranschen under 2020 upphov till drygt 14 miljoner ton avfall, vilket medför en betydande klimatpåverkan. För att bland annat öka mängden avfall som går till materialåtervinning och minska det som går till energiåtervinning och deponi har EU infört den så kallade EU-taxonomin, vilken syftar till att klassificera ekonomiska aktiviteter efter hur miljömässigt hållbara dessa är. SThe purpose of this master’s thesis was to study construction waste produced during construction of new apartment buildings in projects where Skanska Sverige AB has been the construction contractor. The distribution of different waste fractions and its treatment methods were studied for 15 projects, from the given data. This has been compared to the criteria given in the EU taxonomy concerning con
Generation Z have grown up in a different environment than earlier generations since they have been given different circumstances in which to create their identity. The previous generations such as generation X experienced involuntary consumption of other’s bodies in the changing rooms. Generation Z have however consumed edited bodies and their differences on social media during their early teens
