The Arctic Ocean Expedition of 2001 (AOE-2001) to the central Arctic mostly north of latitude 85°N was conducted to study marine life forms and their products in water and ice, how their products may get into the air, the evolution of the particles produced, and their growth up to sizes large enough for activation into clouds. The expedition also investigated whether these naturally generated part
This thesis presents work aimed at the development and application of a new lithography system for direct material patterning with the MeV proton beam at the Lund Nuclear Microprobe (NMP) facility. MeV proton beams are advantageous for use as a patterning tool due to their deep and well defined penetration through matter and their highly local energy deposition. This allows the fabrication of thre
Indonesia has implemented national policies and legislations to encourage biofuel production as means to achieve energy security and self-sufficiency and to reduce reliance of fossil fuel reserves. However, there is still no clear road-map for the socio-technological transition. While acknowledging economic impediments, this case study investigates social and political obstacles to bioethanol prod
This thesis aims to examine whether archive pedagogy is a useful learning resource in school today, and if so, how this cooperation works in reality. We want to find out how the archive's educational resources are perceived by teachers and students, and where the possible obstacles may lay. By examining how teachers and students perceive the archive education, our study can contribute to bette
Asphalt is the most common material on the roads visible to our eyes. Asphalt occurs as both wearing coat and bearing coat. Asphalt consists of rock material in different grain sizes joined by a binder, bitumen, and eventually added additives. Bitumen is extracted from crude oil. Asphalt mastics is bitumen mixed with filler. Filler is stone material that completely passes a 0.074 mm sieve. Both bi
Hur låter musiken som spelas av atomer? Även om de inte kan sjunga så kan atomer – de små byggstenarna som bygger världen – interagera starkt med laserljus och då skapa kortvariga ljusblixtar som är lika harmoniska som musik. Att förstå hur laserljus och ljusblixtar är relaterade är genom deras interaktioner med atomer. Detta kommer att hjälpa oss att följa aktiviteten som händer så snabbt att denLight-matter interactions can be used to probe both light and matter as they yield information on a system's state. On the ultrafast timescale, it is possible to employ these interactions to probe fast-occurring phenomena. In particular, one of the few tools for ultrafast spectroscopy are coherent attosecond XUV pulses: light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range (XUV) whose typical duration
This study's primary objective was to understand how remittances from international labour migration influences the capabilities of Kenyan returnees from the Middle East. The study examined how migrants and their families used the money they sent home, what kind of education they got, how they got medical care, and how they started businesses. Sen's capacity approach and the new economics
Det finns många svårigheter med att tillverka livsmedelsprodukter som är emulsioner. Syftet med detta projekt var att utveckla en emulsion enligt krav som beställaren av produkten hade satt upp. En första utveckling av produkten skedde ungefär ett år tidigare, och den fortsatta utvecklingen baserades alltså på denna produkt. Det som hade blivit ett problem med den första utvecklade produkten var aIt is a difficult process to create a drinkable food product that is an emulsion. The aim with this project was to create one, containing ingredients on levels described by a customer. A product had been developed before, but resulted in a product that had viscosity that was too high, and the aim with this further development project was to keep the levels of the ingredients on a level according t
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka eWOM genom Facebookgrupper för att få en djupare förståelse för vilka intentioner som finns bakom varför användare väljer att dela och ta del av rekommendationer genom Facebookgrupper samt varför dessa väljer att förlita sig på personerna bakom rekommendationerna. Ambitionen är att vi med denna studie ska bidra med teoriutveckling av befintlig litteratur inom eWOMThe purpose of the thesis is to investigate eWOM through Facebook groups to gain a deeper understanding of the intentions behind why users choose to share and take part in recommendations through Facebook groups and why they choose to rely on the people behind the recommendations. The ambition is to contribute with theory development of existing literature within eWOM by increasing the understandi
On July 1st, 2019, the license of the hospital social worker was legislated in Sweden. The aim of this study was to examine the significance of the license for the oncology social worker, using the sociological terminology concepts: role, position and function. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi structured interviews with eight oncology social workers, working in larger hospital
America has become more and more politically polarized the last couple of years. The polarization has become such a problem that people talk about two different Americas, one liberal America and one conversative. This polarization has caused people to only read partisan media that people already agree with and reinforces existing beliefs, increasing the already existing polarization. The increasin
An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical
The question of what makes people start using drugs often arouses strong emotions. This is because it is closely linked to another question, namely what can be done to counteract it. Therefore the aim of this study was to examine the subjective experience of the development of substance abuse. The experiences came from people who defined themselves as former drug addicts. By listening to podcasts
Metoo-upproren uppmärksammade problematiken kring sexuella trakasserier på arbetsplatsen runt om i världen, vilket fick oss att fundera kring arbetsgivarens roll och ansvar i dessa situationer. För att skapa en förståelse för arbetsgivarens förebyggande ansvar, vilka typer av handlingar arbetsgivaren ska förebygga samt vilka åtgärder som kan krävas från arbetsgivaren har vi analyserat lagar, praxiThe Metoo-movement highlighted the problems around sexual harassment in the workplace all around the world, which got us thinking about the employers roll and obligations in these situations. To get a wider understanding about the employers’ obligations to prevent sexual harassment, what type of actions the employer should prevent and what kind of measures that should be taken we had to analyze th
Old age is something that affects everyone, sooner or later and in different ways. The question on how to take care of older persons and support them when getting older might be more relevant now than ever, as the population over 60 years old is expected to grow with 40 percent in the coming 10 years. In an older human being, every age is preserved. In an 80-year-old mind there might live a little

Hur lantbruket kan bidra till omställningen mot en 100% förnybar elproduktion. Skiftet från fossil till förnybar energi är centralt i kampen mot klockan för att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen. Ett av målen för Sveriges långsiktiga energipolitik är att elproduktionen ska vara 100% förnybar år 2040. Lantbrukare har stora tak- och markarealer som skulle kunna nyttjas i högre grad än de gör idag As part of a sustainable energy system, Sweden has declared a target of 100 % renewable electricity production by 2040. Farmers have the potential to further this process and simultaneously contribute to a decentralized energy system. This study aims to identify drivers and barriers for the adoption of solar and wind energy production in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, it examines how policy
Denna uppsats undersöker sambandet mellan gatukonst och massmobiliseringen till den egyptiska revolutionen 2011. För detta syfte undersöker jag hur kultur och politik samverkar. Genom att använda Frantz Fanons teori om kulturell och nationell frigörelse kan vi förstå hur gatukonst kan användas som ett vapen mot en nationell förtryckare. Hur kultur kan användas för att få en rörelse att växa förklaThis paper examines the correlation between street art and the mass mobilization in Egypt that culminated in 2011 with the so called Egyptian revolution. For this purpose the paper examines how culture and politics consociate. By using Frantz Fanon and his theory regarding cultural emancipation and national emancipation it is understood that cultural means such as street art can be used as a weapo
