Varför ska kontorsmöbler bli mer cirkulära? Sverige har en stolt historia av att tillverka tidlösa och högkvalitativa kontorsmöbler som underlättar vår arbetsmiljö. Men vad händer med kontorsmöbler när de blir omoderna, nötta eller när verksamheten flyttar och behov förändras? Fullständig statistik saknas på området men mycket tyder på att kontorsmöbler hamnar i en container som sedan går till dThe irresponsible use and premature disposal of office furniture, influenced by current linear business models causes a high environmental impact and depletion of natural resources. Innovative and circular business models can be applied in order to close, narrow and slow down resource loops. Implementation of circular business models nonetheless encounters a number of challenges. The main objectiv

What is ‘bad’ public space? Public spaces have been conceptualized as integral to urban realities. It is virtually impossible to imagine a city, town, village, or any other concentrated settlement without them. It can thus be argued that public spaces are an intrinsic part of cities to the point that a city is not really a city without its public spaces. It is argued that cities need high-quality

Bakgrund: Människan är beroende av sin förmåga att balansera vardagens aktiviteter för att bibehålla god psykisk hälsa. Svårigheter att kombinera studielivet med livets övriga ansvarsområden skulle kunna vara en orsak till att studenter mår allt sämre. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att utifrån behovsdimensionerna i Life Balance Model kartlägga forskningen kring universitetsstudenters aBackground: People depend on their ability to balance everyday activities in order to sustain mental well-being. Difficulties to combine university studies with the demands of life’s other responsibilities could be a reason for students' lower well-being. Aim: The aim of the literature study is to review the research on university students’ occupational balance and the consequences on their me

In order to improve companies' and public health organizations' abilities to forecast the future beverage market volumes, it is crucial to identify the determinants of beverage consumption. Based on the market volume panel data from 2005 to 2020, this thesis formulates a fixed-effect model to examine the causal relationship between the population share of young adults and the market volume

If homebirth can offer better outcomes than hospital-birth why do so few French women make this choice? The literature review on birth in France shows an increasing critique of overmedicalization. Through an Ecofeminist approach, conducting a qualitative questionnaire and interviews I found women choosing homebirth seek intimacy, respect and to avoid fear-based protocols and hospitals' violenc

Nanoplaster: Hur ser de ut och är de farliga för vattenlevande organismer? I detta projekt har polylaktid (PLA) brytits ner mekaniskt, för att undersöka om nanoplaster bildas och bestämma vilken storlek de blir. Dessa har sedan använts för att undersöka om de är toxiska för planktonet Daphnia magna. Även fabrikstillverkade PLA-nanopartiklar användes i experimenten. Vi har alla hört talas om plasAs plastic pollution in aquatic environments keeps happening it has become more and more important to learn more about nanoparticles. Bio-based and biologically degradable plastics, such as polylactic acid (PLA), are gaining popularity and it is therefore important to determine whether they break down into nanoplastics or not. Should this be the case, it is of interest to characterize their size,

Since 2014 especially the western world has seen an increase in attacks committed by men who de-scribes themselves as incels; involuntary celibates. Scholars have previously examined how the online incels’ communities are characterized by anonymity, misogyny, racism and appraisal of violence and abuse but little attention have been given to how the narratives conveyed by incels online can be viewe

The aim of this study was to explore how primary care social workers discuss their professional role and discretion in relation to considerations of sick leave for patients with mental illness, thereby deepening the understanding for how consultation and informal decision processes manifest between social workers and doctors working within the same organisation. Qualitative semi-structured intervi

Local human rights defenders play a significant role in the realization and enjoyment of human rights. Working alone or in association with others, they peacefully advocate for and promote fundamental freedoms and human rights for themselves and for their fellow citizens. In the process, they document violations; raise awareness to rights holders about the rights to which they are entitled; remind

This thesis focuses on the examination of the self-classification system of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and whether it should be reformed? If yes, how it could be shaped? It will approach this examination by applying an argumentative legal policy method. The thesis will obtain material from sources such as the WTO, academic journals and news articles. This paper begins by establishing a ba

En brandteknisk riskvärdering gällande personsäkerhet har genomförts för en av Malmö Universitets huvudbyggnader, Orkanen. Arbetet började med att arbetsgruppen fick ta del av brandskyddsdokumentation och ett platsbesök genomfördes för att bland annat inventera det befintliga brandskyddet. Med insikt om byggnaden, stödd av statistiska data om brandincidenter i liknande byggnader, har en grovriskanThe building Orkanen is a part of Malmö University properties. It houses multiple lecture halls in varied sizes, study areas, restaurant, classrooms, chemical laboratories, parking garage and the universities largest library. The following report is an evaluation of human safety in case of fire in the building. After qualitative assessment, multiple scenarios were identified. With a help of a ris

Vad avgör Lettland och Moldaviens syn på alliansbyggande, upplevt hot och säkerhet och vilka variabler kan förklara de olika utfallen? Studien är en jämförande explorativ sådan vilken analyserar alliansbyggande perioden 1991-1997 utifrån indikatorerna geografisk närhet, offensiva intentioner, aggregerad makt samt offensiv förmåga som hämtats ur Stephen Walts teori balance of threat. Materialet byg

This study aimed to examine the counselor's view of mental health and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used in counseling sessions to improve adolescents' mental health. By conducting semi-structured interviews with nine Swedish school counselors and counselors who work with adolescents and/or young adults the study explores in what way ACT can be used to improve the mental h

Den här studien ämnar att konstruera, testa och utvärdera ett lektionsmoment med fokus på talängslan. Momentet ska först och främst vara tidseffektivt och inte ta för mycket tid från övrig kursplanering. Det ska således gå att använda till exempel i slutet av en lektion utan att övrig undervisning blir lidande. Momentet ska även kunna byggas ut vid behov. För att utforma momentet intervjuade jag This research aims to construct, test and validate a lesson moment with the focus on effective work with speech anxiety in school. The lesson moment shall not take to much time or energy from the ordinary lesson plan. Therefore it shall be able to example to take place in the last minutes of the lesson. The moment itself also needs to be built upon over time and therefore be more advanced as the s

Understanding context is paramount to the practice of crisis communication. In this thesis, I explore how cultural and political contexts influence crisis communication using Liberia as the area of study. However, the scope is narrowed to understanding the research phenomenon from the perspective of communicators in public sector organizations. Using a qualitative, interpretive research approach a

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur skräck som motiv ter sig annorlunda när ett litterärt verk går från ett format till ett annat, via en komparativ granskning av Neil Gaimans barnbok Coraline (2002) och dess intermediala adaptioner. Granskningen görs utifrån ett narratologist perspektiv. Med hjälp av ett teoriperspektiv hämtat från både gotikens skräcktraditioner i form av uppdelningen "hor

It has a goal to translate the intentions and proposals of the Strategy into the business language and evaluate potential impacts for the agri-business and other value chain players like IKEA. Using the legal doctrine method, the study analyses the documents on the Strategy’s actions, adding experts

Förevarande uppsats undersöker EU-domstolens praxis avseende värdeöverföringar mellan originaltillverkare av läkemedel och generikaföretag i samband med patentförlikningar (så kallade ‘RPPSs’) för att urskilja under vilka förutsättningar ett sådant förfarande utgör en syftesöverträdelse. Analysen visar att EU-domstolens avgöranden Generics och Lundbeck förtydligar bedömningen av mer okompliceradeThis thesis examines the CJEU’s case law on value transfers between originator and generic undertakings, in the context of patent settlements, to ascertain the criteria for determining when such a practice amounts to a restriction of competition by object. The thesis finds that the CJ’s rulings in Generics and Lundbeck clarifies the treatment of more straightforward RPPSs and follows established
