This thesis is about queer youth in total institutions, and the meaning those institutions might have on the identity formation process. The thesis itself consists of two smaller sub-studies, a literature review of some of the existing research on queer youth in total institutions, and a discourse analysis of the identity aspect using texts written by queer youth who has spent time in a total inst

Powders are complex systems that depend strongly on how the individual particles in- teract and their surroundings. Understanding powders behaviour under certain conditions is very important for the product in many applications, one of them being Additive Manu- facturing (AM). The overall goal of this study is to understand and quantify the effect of flow additives in combination with iron powder.

Examensarbetet undersöker om det i en viss process går att förutsäga hur ett läkemedelspulver och dess partiklar kommer att bete sig utifrån att undersöka fysikaliska egenskaper hos partiklarna. Att hantera pulver inom läkemedelsindustrin är en väldigt stor utmaning. På grund av att de flesta läkemedel idag säljs som tabletter som tillverkats från pulver, så är utmaningen av mycket stor betydelse,The master thesis was done at QPharma to investigate a processing problem during production of tablets, where an excessive volume expansion during dry mixing of three ingredients occurred from time to time. A volume expansion (dilation) is needed for particles, within a powder, to become mixed with other particles. However, the extent of the dilation is dependent on intermolecular forces between p

This thesis problematizes the consumption of meat and animal-derived foods in the age of climate change. Despite vast empirical data showing the detrimental effects related to animal agriculture, there is a general reluctance to stop consuming animal-based foods. In order to investigate the reasons for this reluctance, qualitative interviews were chosen as a research method. Using Norway as a case

Studien omfattar bedrägerier som utförs via den svenska e-legitimationen BankID. Konceptet social engineering presenteras i denna studie och används som en förklaringsmodell för att kunna utforska huruvida BankID-bedrägerierna faller inom ramen för SE. Vidare diskuteras ett antal mänskliga faktorer som har en påverkan i dessa sammanhang, vilka är målgrupp, medvetenhet och tillit. Genom en intervjuThe study covers fraud that is carried out via the Swedish e-ID BankID. The concept of social engineering is presented in this study and is used as an explanatory model to investigate whether the BankID fraud falls within the scope of SE.

Skiljeförfarande som tvistlösningsform har blivit allt vanligare mellan kommersiella parter, till stor del på grund av dess effektivitet och slutgiltighet. Skiljedomar kan enbart upphävas enligt ett begränsat antal grunder i 34 § 1 st. lag (1999:166) om skiljeförfarande (LSF). En av dessa klandergrunder kan åberopas om skiljenämnden begått ett handläggningsfel utan parts vållande som sannolikt påvCommercial arbitration has become increasingly common in Sweden mostly due to its effectiveness and finality as a mechanism for solving disputes. However, according to the Swedish Arbitration Act of 1999 (SAA), arbitration awards can only be set aside in a limited number of situations. One of the situations when it is possible to set aside an award is when an arbitration tribunal has made a proced

This unclarity can lead to major tradeoffs between social and ecological sustainability which ultimately endangers our prospects for sustainable development.

The understanding of the link between the water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector and gender has been extensively researched and is widely accepted as foundational for achieving safe and equal provision of WASH-facilities. Interventions aimed at improvements in the sector are common in low- and middle-income countries, however, there is a limited number of approaches for measuring their outcom

In recent years, the use of childcare especially in rich countries, has gone through a huge development. Well-established theories and previous research suggest that the social infrastructure has a positive impact on economic growth and that there is a positive relationship between childcare and equality. However, studies about how childcare affects economic growth are scarce. The aim of the study

The principle has its roots in Roman law, and in its expression bona fides, which can be concluded as equivalence and honesty. The duty could express obligations between the parties which, in addition to the agreed content of the agreement, and may be used as general principle of law. The purp

In Sweden, both house prices and household debt have more than doubled over the last two decades. This rapid surge has generated concerns about a housing bubble and the economic consequences that may follow, resulting in a considerable body of research analysing the fundamentals of Swedish house prices. To assess how a bubble or a crisis would ripple over the housing market, it is key to also unde

Creative agency acquisitions by leading management consulting firms is a phenomenon that was recently discovered. Therefore, very few studies have explored M&As within this specific context. This lack of research is surprising because in today’s highly competitive environment businesses increasingly have started acquiring external creative capabilities to be able to provide end-to-end solution
