Elever på S:t Petri skola deltog i en undersökning som utredde hur pass miljömedvetna elever är och resultatet anses vara mycket lovande. I dagens samhälle antas det ofta att äldre generationer har koll på allt inom miljö, men det visar sig att det har även elever. Resultatet visar att elever själva anses sig vara mycket miljömedvetna. Hela 90 % av eleverna placerade sin miljömedvetenhet vid medelThis thesis aims at surveying the environmental knowledge of students attending a high school in Malmö, Sweden. An analysis of the environmentally friendly behavior was performed where the ability and performance of waste sorting was questioned. The method used was a questionnaire where the socioeconomic background of the students’, environmental awareness and behavior was investigated. 204 studen

Vår planet är uppbyggd av hundratals grundämnen som bildar marken vi går på. På vissa platser finns högre halter av tungmetaller så som bly (Pb) och kadmium (Cd) än på andra platser. Är så fallet på en plats kan det innebära hälsorisker för människor och djur om vi skulle få detta i oss. Därför har jag valt att undersöka om vattnet i bergborrade brunnar, i en viss typ av berggrund där risken för hLead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) are two heavy metals that exist naturally in low concentrations throughout earth’s crust. In some places lead and cadmium are found in higher concentrations due to the bedrock in the area. A study made in Höörs County by the Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has shown high rates of lead and cadmium in drilled wells just west of the city Höör. They found that the reason f

På grund av den potential som har upptäcks med ett samarbete mellan den växande e-handeln och den personliga detaljhandeln har omnikanal fått en hög prioritering hos nordiska klädföretag. Komplexiteten med att skapa omnikanalslösningar som fungerar sömlöst innefattar ett omfattande arbete. Utifrån detta samt bristen på tidigare forskning är det intressant att studera kring ämnet, hur olika klädför

A linear system – one that extracts materials and then puts them in landfills and incinerates them, thus creating a demand for even more materials – is fundamentally unsustainable. Swedish waste management is thought by many to be progressive and at the forefront, when looking at the waste hierarchy. While there is a ban on landfilling non-hazardous and organic waste in Sweden, around 50% is incin

This thesis examines the potential of society, and social movement in particular, as an agent of change for sustainability. In August 2014 student activists initiated a sit-in strike outside of the Hong Kong government headquarters, as a protest against the non-democratic electoral system forced upon the city by China. The attempt by the police to disperse the crowd by using teargas had a reverse

The evolution into a networked society, where a wide variety of devices are connected to the Internet, opens up many new opportunities for creating smart products and applications that dynamically adapt to the current environment. A common scenario will be that applications require or benefit from using several devices at the same time for the execution. Such distributed applications may be comple

Global climate projections forecast more frequent, intense and longer heat waves in the decades ahead. Heat waves are considered the most dangerous extreme weather event for human health, with impacts most pronounced in cities because of the urban heat island effect. Heat-related mortality rates are highest in certain at-risk populations, like the elderly. Toronto, Canada’s largest city, faces two

This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of

In this paper, we study the effect of raising the fee for non-attendance on non-attendance rates in health care from a Swedish perspective. We do this by using a difference in difference design and exploiting a natural experiment in Sweden, where one county increased non-attendance fee to the double and the other county had a constant fee. Data on individual level allows us to investigate a genera

Dagens klassrum representerar en mängd olika kulturer, något som ofta problematiseras. Denna forskning utforskar hur en mångkulturell kontext kan användas som en resurs, istället för ett hinder. För att undersöka detta har jag observerat konceptet Ethno-läger - med syftet att identifiera viktiga aspekter av vad Ethno består av, för att senare diskutera om dessa aspekter är exklusiva för Ethno elleThe classrooms of today represents a variety of different cultures, a facet that is often problematized. This research explores how a multicultural context can be used as resource, instead of an obstacle. By investigating this theme, I have been conducting research on the concept of Ethno-camps – trying to identify the key aspects of these, and discuss whether or not these key aspects can be trans

For ensuring quality of a product it is important to perform hardware testing on a device. The aim of this thesis was to simplify and improve the process for power consumption hardware testing at a company. The result was one semi-automated and one fully automated solution. Another key component was that the system should have high flexibility, everything from the choice of instruments to the test

Denna fallstudie undersöker handlingar som utförts av en förvaltning i samband med en avstängning av en arbetstagare från arbetet. Bakgrunden är att det förts fram i publika sammanhang att handlingarna skulle kunna förmodas utgöra grund för suicidalt agerande. Syftet är att undersöka vad de olika handlingarna uttrycker. Kan den publika uppfattningen grundas i empiri? Det insamlade materialet analy

The rise of e-commerce has a dramatic effect on physical stores and has also changed customer needs and behaviours with customers requiring both online and offline benefits in the shopping context. Offline-online channel integration, where online features are implemented in the physical store, has been introduced as a means for physical stores to react to the rise of e- commerce as it addresses th

This study examines different views on digital teaching materials presented in a selection of articles in journals concerning teaching. Using Stephen E. Toulmin's model of argumentation a representative selection of articles is examined and discussed. The theoretical approach takes its departure in Jane Bennets vibrant materialism and thing-power, Friedrich Kittler´s view on the media as an Au

Problembakgrund: En kundorienterad servicestrategi är ur ett traditionellt service managementperspektiv nödvändig för att företag i servicebranschen ska uppnå lönsamhet och framgång. Värdet för kunden sträcker sig förbi den fysiska produkten och uppstår i interaktionen och relationen med företaget. För företagets del uppstår ett värde som går att mäta i ekonomiska termer. För att vidga förståelsen

Den här studien undersöker huruvida den landsbygdsorienterade turismen påverkar den regionala ekonomiska tillväxten. Paneldataregressioner används för att se om andelen logiintäkter per capita och andelen gästnätter per capita i någon utsträckning påverkar varje regions ekonomiska tillväxt. Studien använder sig av data från Sveriges alla län under tidsperioden 2003-2011, vilket innebär att analyse

This project includes the research and implementation of a high frequency phase-locked loop (30 GHz or more) for beamforming use in a phased antenna array. The phase-locked loop includes a quadrature voltagecontrolled oscillator with a 10% tuning range and 417 degrees of phase control with a 10 degree resolution, a current mode latch in the divide-bytwo configuration operates over the quadrature v

The purpose of this research has been to examine how experience of domestic violence during the childhood is expressed to the public, and what kind of self-image this description conveys. We chose to perform this research with a hermeneutical content analysis method, as this allows us to use texts written by people with experience of violence during their childhood. To perform this research we hav
