Background Dietary intervention is an effective way to prevent pandemic non-communicable diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes which can probably raise the risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease. Although considerable numbers of intervention studies focus on metabolic effects and physiological benefits of the intake of plant lipids, the function in appetite, mood, and cognition modu

As people develop different identities throughout their lifespan, unparalleled challenges such as climate change and COVID-19 and the great tendency to adapt to more sustainable life have encouraged them to opt for types of identities that are more suitable to overcome such challenges. Identities based on purchasing products and services for self-consumption have become less attractive, an inactiv

A lot of time and care have been put into exploring and explaining the power relations between nurses and nursing assistants, the emotional investment appropriate in care work, different views on leisure time for staff in this context (Warming, 2019; Habel, 2021; Jervis, 2002; Crocker, 2019). Less work has been done in exploring the complex relationships care workers have with their patients and h

Studiens syfte var att undersöka det gröna gapet mellan konsumenternas attityd och beteende när det kommer till köp av kläder. Resultatet visade att ett gap förekommer mellan konsumenters attityd och beteende när det kommer till köp av mer hållbara klädesplagg. Med andra ord, attityden skiljer sig från deras faktiska köpbeteende. Dessutom undersöktes vilka faktorer som hindrar konsumenter från grö

In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. Charm balance functions are important since the charm quark can act as a probe of the QGP, probing the first instances after a collision. The balance functions were create

Hur kan Helsingborgs kommun bidra till de omställningarna som krävs för att lyckas tackla klimatförändringarna? En lösning är att ta hjälp av naturen, så kallade naturbaserade lösningar (nature-based solutions, NBS). Dessa har förmåga att ta upp koldioxid från atmosfären och binda det som kol i marken. Dessutom bidrar NBS till andra fördelar, såsom biologisk mångfald och mänskligt välbefinnande. TThe ongoing climate change, caused by anthropogenic emissions, are making humans adapt to a new status quo, but focus should also be on mitigating climate change. One possible solution for this is to use the natures’ ability to sequestrate carbon from the atmosphere. To do this, it is necessary to gain knowledge about the current situation regarding land cover and the capacity to store in differen

Policymakers are increasingly demanding that their investments in research and knowledge production should yield returns. The interest of evaluating the societal impact of research has grown rapidly as research funders request evidence that their investments lead to public benefits. This thesis is a study of how the Research Council of Norway has operationalized such demands into new evaluation pr

Förevarande uppsats analyserar utvecklingen av doktrinen om ’essential facilities’ i EU rättspraxis under Artikel 102 TFEU och vidare, i vilken utsträckning kan leveransvägran, särskilt doktrinen om ’essential facilities’ vara applicerbar på data och hur relaterar de fundamentala rättigheterna (näringsfrihet och rätt till egendom) till sådan tillämpning. Analysen av utvecklingen i rättspraxis, säThe thesis examines the development of essential facilities doctrine in EU case law under Article 102 TFEU and further, to what extent can refusal to supply, in particular the essential facilities doctrine, be applicable to data and how do fundamental rights (the freedom to conduct business and the right to property) relate to such extension. The analysis of the development of the case law, espe

This study examines the differing structures of night-time governance organisations observed in Western cities. The study notes that previous research lacks clarification as to the structural differences of night-time governance organisations and further lacks the inclusion of how stakeholders are addressed. Therefore, this study aims to clarify and identify how these different structures address

Prosocial behavior is important for building a harmonious society, while acting prosocially is also regarded as beneficial for mental wellbeing. To explore the potential underlying mechanism of promoting prosocial behavior, the present study investigates if psychological capital and empathy mediate a proposed relationship between perceived social support and prosocial behavior. The final sample co

This thesis investigates how corporate diversification strategies are justified and hones in on the theoretical disagreement between two prominent diversification justification models: Porter’s Essential Tests and The Parenting Advantage Framework. The models aim to provide the same utility, namely to ascertain whether a corporate diversification effort will create or destroy shareholder value, ho

This paper investigates the last two months of the Vietnam War, March and April 1975, from the CIA:s perspective. During the last two decades, the CIA have declassified many documents about the Vietnam war, thus making new source material available. The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban conquest, has also sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam war. Hence,

This thesis has the purpose to research how a global brand integrates sustainability as part of its corporate brand identity and how the brand communicates sustainability to the local market, using a standardized or localized communication approach. The theoretical perspective is to incorporate the Corporate Brand Identity Matrix & Integration for sustainability — implementation model to analy

Bakgrund: Oro är ett vanligt inslag under magnetresonanstomografiundersökningar. Det trånga utrymmet kombinerat med det höga ljudet och att behöva ligga stilla är bidragande faktorer till att patienter blir oroliga och kan känna sig klaustrofobiska. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka hur röntgensjuksköterskan kan lindra vuxna patienters oro i samband med magnetresonanstomografi med hjä

This master thesis aims to explore what is important to stay competitive working with web development in the future. It was done in collaboration with the division Knowit Experience in Linköping, which is part of the consultancy firm Knowit. The team involved in the study worked within all dimensions of web and app development and wanted to improve their front-end development process in terms of t

This paper studies the impact of corporate income taxation on leverage ratios (debts as a share of total assets) in the banking sector across 102 countries for the period 2012-2021, aiming to replicate the 2013 IMF paper ‘Taxation, Bank Leverage, and Financial Crises’ by Keen, De Mooij and Orihara. With a sample of 5,829 banks, a system GMM is used, together with a fixed effects model to compare t

The search for stronger materials in the automotive industry resulted in an increased used of Compacted graphite iron (CGI) instead of gray cast iron; however, the machinability of this material is more difficult, and different approaches such as composition modification, improved tooling and improved cutting conditions have been attempted. This thesis project is focused on the analysis of tool we

Mobiltelefonen har integrerats i dagens samhälle och används regelbundet av unga vuxna, även när de är i samvaro med andra. Denna mobilanvändning har kommit att utmana normerna för hur man bör uppföra sig i olika sociala situationer och har lett till att det inte är lika självklart för vad som är socialt acceptabelt. Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att utveckla en förståelse för hur, när och v
