Upplevt socialt stöd, självkännedom och självmedkänsla är faktorer som tidigare visat sig hänga samman med tonåringars livstillfredsställelse och psykiska ohälsa i flera tvärsnittsstudier. Denna studie hade för avsikt att undersöka hur de ovan nämnda variablerna förhåller sig till varandra över tre år och om sambanden mellan socialt stöd och livstillfredsställelse respektive psykisk ohälsa medieraPerceived social support, self-awareness and self-compassion are factors that have previously been shown to be associated with adolescent life-satisfaction and psychological distress in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to examine how these variables relate to each other over three years and whether the relationship between perceived social support and well-being, as well as psych

Euroscepticism is an old, but nevertheless still dangerous, phenomena for the European Union and for further European integration. Now more than ever, in the wake of Brexit and other crises of the 2000th century, public Euroscepticism is on the rise throughout the European Union member states. Notably, it has been determined that the rise is particularly large within rural areas. The residents of

Fermentation is a process that utilizes live microorganisms to produce different biological products such as enzymes. The oxygen mass transfer rate is often the limiting factor in aerobic fermentations and thereby an important process parameter. The initial aim of this MSc thesis was therefore to develop a soft sensor for the volumetric oxygen mass transfer coefficient, kLa, in order to monitor it

Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel

Environmental tax measures have the potential to be great tools for achieving sustainable development goals in the EU. The different dimensions of sustainability need to be balanced in order to achieve sustainable development goals. In the EU, tax law has been focussed too much on the economic dimension, and too little on the environmental dimension, which could lead to environmental sustainabilit

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

The perpetrator inference in the crime scene can be narrowed down in geography using ancestry informative markers (AIMs) to infer ancestry. The commercial kits including AIMs are in high demand in criminal investigations to infer the ancestral geographic origin from the individual’s genotype. However, more than 10,000 SNPs were used to carry out accurate inferences, causing extremely high costs. A

Generally credited to have originated in 2005, coworking spaces provide hybrid work environments to individual professionals, entrepreneurs, and start-ups. Simultaneously, social entrepreneurship has received increasing attention as a solution to topical problems. This thesis aims to provide an empirical exploration of the ways in which coworking spaces facilitate social entrepreneurship, seen fro

The participation of grassroots communities became a must of development projects. International organizations advocate for the inclusion of community members to ensure projects’ success and sustainability. However, community engagement is often undermined by existing power dynamics between implementing agencies and communities. Power imbalances result from the lack of interdependency between acto

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of ESG ratings on firm’s credit ratings for real estate investment trusts in the USA. Through a quantitative research methodology, a panel data regression analysis is used in order to examine the effect of ESG rating on firms’ credit ratings. The sample used in our study consists of a set of unbalanced panel data consisting of 3,470 firm-month

Aim: Phantoms are used daily in the clinic for radiotherapy. As more realistic phantoms are requested, 3D printing could be used but the design of a realistic phantom is difficult. The purpose of this project was to design and 3D print an anthropomorphic phantom that could be used for verification of complex treatment such as stereotactic arrhythmic radioablation treatments without the use of pati

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a highly heterogenous disorder characterized by bradykinesia, rigidity, rest tremor and non-motor symptoms like cognitive impairment, anosmia, and sleep disturbance. The underlying pathological hallmarks of PD are the degeneration of dopaminergic pigmented neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, neuroinflammation and, alpha synuclein inclusions accumulating into

This master thesis has investigated if flow cytometry can be used to monitor bathing water quality on the beaches in Southern Sweden. The current method for monitoring the bathing water quality takes 3 days to get results about the concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria, E.coli and intestinal enterococci, and to get answers if the water is usable or unusable for swimming. These bacteria serve
