Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en kronisk och ökande folksjukdom som kräver livslång behandling. Primärvården bedriver särskilda diabetesmottagningar där diabetessjuksköterskan har en nyckelfunktion tack vare sin kompetens. För att göra vården mer evidensbaserad, säkerställa dess kvalité och jämlik för personer med diabetes har diabetesmottagningar i primärvården i Skåne sedan 2016 certifierats. Syft

Bakgrunden till denna studie kommer sprunget av ett generellt intresse för Japan som land samt en vänskapsrelation med en musiklärare från Japan. Syftet är att skapa en bättre förståelse för de tankar och resonemang japanska musiklärare har om sitt eget ämne. Litteraturdelen går igenom några få kulturella aspekter, skolans olika nivåer, en genomgång av kursplanen samt några andra faktorer av relevThe background for this study is sprung from a general interest in Japan as a country and a friendship with a music teacher from Japan. The aim is to create a better understanding for the thoughts and reasoning music teachers in Japan has on their subject. The literature part is going through a few cultural aspects, the different educational levels, an explanation of the curriculum and some other

Virtual Reality technology has advanced forward in a world where physical fitness is not always a natural part of everyday life. But must one thing be traded for the other? VR lets users immerse themselves in an entirely virtual world where interaction is possible through physically moving around in the real world. So, is it possible to combine VR with exercising? That is what this master thesis a

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker ledarskapsstilar inom byggsektorn. Mer specifikt undersöker den vilka ledarskapsstilar som förekommer inom byggsektorn, om vissa förekommer mer ofta än andra, om chefer inom byggsektorn ändrar ledarskapsstil beroende på vilken situation som de befinner sig i samt om det finns några skillnader i föredragen ledarskapsstil mellan olika chefspositioner inom byggsektorn

This thesis investigates the use of science-fiction film as a medium through which the collective understanding of future urban environments can be discussed. It poses the question of how images of architecture in science-fiction films influence our perceptions and understanding of the future of our lived environments. By focusing on images of fictional future urban environments that have been sel

The purpose of this project was to create an object that improves the performances of football players, preferably on all levels, be it professionals or amateurs. The main theme was science and technology, to explore how they together can be used to accomplish this task. The project consisted of doing research on site at amateur football clubs, which included observations of training sessions a

Tin whiskers have long caused issues to electronic components and made the subject of many articles. According to NASA the oldest reports concerning whiskers date back to the 1940's. The whiskers are single-crystals growing from, for example electronic components. Despite the long history of tin whiskers the actual cause of their growth is still unknown. The hypothesis held by the author is th

As a de facto leader in corporate governance and sustainability reporting (SR), this study provides a thorough and comprehensive characterisation of SR among the UK’s leading companies. A content analysis was undertaken of key corporate communications across a sample of 66 constituents listed on the London/ Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE) 100 index. Through a systematic analytical framework

När en betongpelare dimensioneras ska dess kritiska tvärsnitt bestämmas och dimensioneras med hänsyn tagen till pelarens slankhet och andra ordningens effekter. Dessa parametrar kan begränsa pelarens bärförmåga och riskera knäckning istället för att tvärsnittets kapacitet blir avgörande. För att uppskatta pelarens slankhet beskrivs i Eurokod t.ex. den nominella styvhetsmetoden och den generella meWhen designing a concrete column, the critical cross section must be determined with regard to the column slenderness and second order effects. These parameters could limit the columns resistance by the risk of buckling instead of the cross sections resistance deciding the limit state. Eurocode describes among three methods the nominal stiffness method and the general method to approximate the sle

Humanitarian organizations (HOs) are the main authority in long-term refugee camps. However, literature criticizes the economic relevance of HOs in a long-term refugee camp. My thesis applies the discussion to a case study in Kakuma camp. The study proposes two research questions: 1) To what extent does the long-term presence of HOs affect the market system and economic life of refugees in Kakuma

The galloping pace of development in the field of wireless communication has left the world astounded over the last decade. But this has also led to a wild and inexcusable extravagant expenditure of energy. Due to the dynamic nature of wireless network, it has become imperative to focus more on energy efficiency and achieve desired Quality of Service (QoS). The challenge of diminishing the carbon

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

Currently most aromatic compounds used in industry are derived from unsustainable petro-chemical feedstock. However the depolymerization of lignocellulosic biomass generates a wide range of aromatic compounds that could be further valued through microbial conversion with microorgansims such as the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. The aim of the present project was to develop a reproducible methodolog

The purpose of this journal is to further investigate how a brand, during a limited time frame, can change an unwanted image by challenging the stereotypical perceptions of their brand by adding an element of surprise. The research is conducted through a multiple-case study consisting of four cases: Mercedes-Benz, Opel, McDonald’s and Lidl. A resulting matrix has been developed to demonstrate the

Background/introduction: E-commerce is becoming a natural part of retail business. In order to achieve a competitive edge, companies are shifting to omni channel retailing where channel integration is explored in the search for potential improvements in connection with customer offer and costs. One solution is to integrate inventories and offer improved order fulfilment by using both warehouse and

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore how brands’ greening strategies affect consumers’ green brand image. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is based on a qualitative approach, researching one case, McDonald’s greening strategies compared with the consumers’ brand image. The consumers’ brand image was collected with the help of 12 semi-structured interviews. Findings: The research s

Pavements in Sweden today are often designed to have a life span of at least 20 years. This means that pavements are designed to endure all seasons for 20 years: 20 winters, 20 spring thaws. 20 summers and so on. For those occasions where a life span less than 20 years is requested, there is no standardized method to use today. Designing is instead usually done either by scaling down the results f
