This paper is about the role that alcohol consumption plays in the (re)definition of Turkishness at a time where the secular foundations of the country are being challenged by the religious-conservative Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP). We see how alcohol consumption shed its marginal position in the middle of the 19th century, being elevated to the status of drink of the elites, how this in turn

Uppsatsen "Den lojala crowdfunding-finansiären – en kvantitativ studie om crowdfunding och dess marknadsföringseffekter" är av teoritillämpande karaktär och syftet är att undersöka huruvida teorier om kundlojalitet och word of mouth kan tillämpas i ett crowdfunding-sammanhang, mer specifikt på crowdfunding-finansiärer. De teorier som främst ska undersökas är Villanuevas et al. tes om worThe purpose of the paper "The Loyal Funder - a quantitative study about crowdfunding and its marketing effects" is to examine whether theories on customer loyalty and word of mouth can be applied in a crowdfunding context, more specifically on funders. The theories that are examined are primarily are Villanueva et al.’s thesis on word of mouth generated customers and Narayandas’ BCR stud

Previous studies has concentrated around the area of children living with parents who has a alcohol problem, hence less research has focused on the children when they have become adults and moved away from home. I contacted a Danish organization, named Tuba, which provides free therapy to people, in the ages from 14 to 35, where one or both parents have an alcohol problem. In collaboration with Tu

Object recognition in images is a popular research field with many applications including medicine, robotics and face recognition. The task of automatically finding and identifying objects in an image is challenging in the extreme. By looking at the problem from a new angle and including additional information beside the visual, the problem becomes less ill posed. In this thesis we investigate ho

Inom fältet kvantinformation behandlar man information med hjälp av så kallade kvantmekaniska system, vilket tillför både möjligheter och svårigheter i reella tillämpningar. Ett fundamentalt begrepp är den så kallade kvantbiten, eller qubit som den brukar omnämnas i engelsk litteratur, vilken är den grundläggande komponenten i vilken kvantinformation hanteras, som en direkt analog till biten i en One of the important building blocks in the quantum information field, is the so called quantum memory. Processing is usually performed on quantum information in the form of qubits, which is an analogy to the classical bits in a normal computer. A big concern however is the fact that quantum information which is represented by some quantum state of one or several particles, is easily destroyed by

This master degree project has had the purpose of designing a chair for small scale serial production in Sweden. Origin has been a big focus point, and the wood has been carefully selected to minimise ecological footprint through transportation of the product. Another focus point has been the complicated process of designing a chair that is unique. The report includes the background of the carpent

Epilepsy is a common disease that affects about 1 % of the population. The neurological disease is characterised by episodes of neural hyperactivity (seizures) and neural synchronization that can have behavioural manifestations such as convulsions. Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) can be used for treating most cases of epilepsy, but since especially temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has proven to be drug re

Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

I samhällsdebatten talas det ofta om jämställdhet i arbetslivet och om jämställdhet i familjen. Den här uppsatsen gör en ansats att förena de två perspektiven. Jobba jäm(n)t? – uppsatsens titel – är en anspelning på frågeställningar om ett jämställt arbetsliv men är även en kritisk ingång till om det generella arbetstidsmått vi har i Sverige idag är det optimala och hur det påverkar jämställdhetenEquality of opportunity between men and women, either in working or in family life, is a frequent topic of public debate. This essay is an attempt to combine the two perspectives, and scrutinizes whether the general workday schedule in Sweden influences gender equality in general. Questions raised are: Who is working all the time? How is the distribution of paid work and unpaid work at home betwee

Studiens syfte var att undersöka det organisatoriska engagemanget i form av organizational commitment på ett företag som kan ses som typiskt när det gäller att ställa stora krav på den anställda. Vidare var syftet även att analysera relationen mellan organizational commitment och role stressors samt att ringa in de faktorer som företagets anställda upplever som stressande i sitt vardagliga arbete.

The drinking culture of China is well integrated in the Chinese society. In modern China, alcohol plays an important part of the dinner, at the wedding, banquet, when meeting with friends, together with family as well as in the business world. The winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was the Chinese author Mo Yan. One of his published books is Jiuguo, a book that is said to describe the co

This Master Thesis contains the whole development process of a basic-intermediate and advanced product lifecycle management (PLM) course for university students. The basic course has been written by Pol Rebenaque we worked together and after he has done the basic part about PLM and integrated between PLM and Creo 2(one of CAD module). I continue working on this course in advance level by investiga

In recent years, there has been an increase of interest in smart grid concept, to adapt the power grid to improve the reliability, efficiency and economics of the electricity production and distribution. One of the generator side problem in this is to meet the power requirement while not wasting unnecessary power, thus keeping the cost down, which must be done while the frequency is kept in a suit

A ubiquitous and accurate positioning system for mobile devices is of great importance both to business and research due to the large number of applications and services it enables. In most outdoor environments this problem was solved by the introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS). In indoor or suburban areas however, the GPS signals are often too weak to enable a reliable position est

Decreasing fuel consumption and increasing road capacity are both desired in regards to heavy duty vehicles. One proposed way of doing this is by having vehicles travelling at close distances to reduce the air drag, and thereby reducing their fuel consumption. This thesis address the platooning problem on model-scale vehicles as they are a desirable demonstration platform since they can be driven
