Despite the fact that a great majority of experts predicted that religion would lose its power and influence, we are currently experiencing a worldwide revival of religious sentiments. The purpose of this study is to investigate how religion, politics, and security impact identity construction in France and Turkey. This study used critical discourse analysis and thematic narrative analysis to exam
Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. The water absorption leads to changes in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling) of the polyamide. In this work, the sorption and diffusion of water vapor are investigated through gravimetric experiments and numerical simulations. The mixture theory framework is adopted to d
The Syrian crisis has forced around five million Syrian refugees to flee their homes and cross the borders to seek asylum in other countries. Most of those refugees live in neighbouring countries, and their only viable option is local integration and full participation in the economic and social life in the host countries. This thesis is a comparative study between Amman and Istanbul to examine ho

We further aim to understand the interrelationship between social media influencers and online impulse buying behaviour. Methodology: This study has utilised a qualitative methodology based on a social constructionist philosophical position. The study has adopte
In this paper regularization of the correlation matrix between futures contracts is examined. With starting point in the recently established HPCA framework (Avellaneda, 2019), a couple of different extensions to the one-factor model is suggested. Extensions are made in terms of adjusting the model according to different cluster structures. The data consists of futures contracts on a wide variety
The starting point of this examination paper was the aspects of how norms, values, emotions and culture develop and affect the people working in the youth institutional settings like the Swedish National Board of Institutional care (Statens institutionsstyrelse, SiS). Our paper is based on qualitative semi structured interviews with the aim to gather new perspectives with a main focus on descripti
När syndafloden kommer När havsnivån stiger och nederbörden ökar riskerar upp till 29 utav Lunds stifts ca 500 kyrkobyggnader att drabbas av översvämningar. Detta betyder att behovet av skydd mot översvämningar troligtvis kommer öka för dessa miljöer i framtiden. Förekomsten av översvämningar förväntas öka till följd av klimatförändringen. Utav de ca 500 kyrkobyggnaderna i Lunds stift kan upp tThe occurrence of floods is expected to increase due to climate change, which may lead to destruction or loss of value of cultural heritage sites. There are approximately 500 church buildings in Lund diocese. The aim of this study was to investigate how this might affect the church buildings, their inventory, and cemeteries within Lund diocese, which are protected under Swedish law. The aim was al
Differential of the peripheral blood is an important tool when assessing blood-related diseases. Lymphocytes are part of the immune system and morphological changes thereof should raise attention. CellaVision’s current systems automatically detect and pre-classify lymphocytes that exhibit atypical morphologies but do not further distinguish those into subclasses. By adding the subclasses into the
Previous studies have proven that player motivation is tightly intertwined with players' self-reported game-related behaviors, but how does player motivation express in actual game play? In addition, does cultural background matter? The current study selected Tom Clancy's The Division 2, a popular tactical third person shooting action role-playing game, as the research target, investigatin
Organizations' business processes depend on their system's proper functions. Any possible dis- ruption due to a malfunction or a disaster could affect the company's reputation. Therefore, the firms need to prepare for these possible malfunctions to not shut down their crucial business processes by implementing business continuity. Over the years, business continuity management processe

Kandidatuppsats: SOCK10, 15hp Handledare: Magnus Karlsson Sociologiska institutionen, vårterminen 2022 En av de största faktorerna till att personer väljer att studera på universitetet är att de har föräldrar med akademiska erfarenheter. Det h
Covid-19-pandemin har påverkat hela samhället. Det svenska folket har upplevt både stora och små förändringar som att tvingas arbeta hemma och att inte kunna krama en vän. Media har löpande rapporterat om hälsningsproblematiken och nya normer har skapats i samhället. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur unga Malmöbor upplevt förändringen i sina hälsningsmönster, och vilka effekter denna förändr
Ferroelectric memories pose as a potential candidate as resistive memory devices that could be used for in-memory computing and artificial synapses. One promising type of ferroelectric memory device is the ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ). The basic functionality of a FTJ device is based upon the fact that ferroelectric materials display two distinct polarisation states which could be switched
Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna och står bakom 10 miljoner dödsfall varje år. De vanligaste och mest studerade behandlingarna av cancer inkluderar kemoterapi och cellgifter, men det finns även andra sätt att behandla cancer. Ponera att kroppen själv kunde ta hand om cancer. Människans immunförsvar kan besegra både virus och bakterier, så intuitivt borde det inte vara mycket svårare föAccounting for 10 million deaths and 20 million new cases every year, cancer is one of the most common causes of death. The interest in trying to understand this lethal disease using mathematical models has increased steadily for many decades. Methods for boosting the immune system to better fight cancer (immunotherapy) have also been long present. However, the full potential of immunotherapy me
Thesis Purpose: We aim to research the relationships consumers build with subscription services and how those influence the totality of the consumer-brand relationship. Methodology: We adapted a qualitative research methodology with semistructured interviews and an abductive research approach. Theoretical Perspective: To research consumer relationships with everyday product subscriptions, we app
Localization of multiple sound sources from a microphone array is a challenging task that has been a research topic for decades. The challenges stem from the diversity of acoustic contexts due to reverberation and disturbances. Therefore, recent approaches that impose structure on the sound sources, rather than on the noise, have shown promising results. The offline method HALO was proposed in 201

I Sverige jobbar tusentals människor som gymnasielärare och av dessa lämnade 7% yrket under 2019. En anledning är stress. Tidigare forskning visar att lärare löper 50% högre risk att drabbas av stressrelaterad utmattning jämfört med andra yrkesgrupper och ett skäl till detta är bristande balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur gymnasielärare själva uppleverIn Sweden, thousands of people work as high school teachers and of these, 7% left the profession in 2019. One reason is stress. Previous research shows that teachers are 50% more likely to suffer from stress-related fatigue compared to other occupational groups and one reason for this is a lack of balance between work and private life. The purpose of this study is to investigate how high school te
