Syftet med denna studie var att genom en kritisk diskursanalys utforska vilka diskurser som tar plats i kommunikationen hos svenska gymkedjor samt vilka sociala strukturer i relation till träning och fysisk aktivitet de bidrar till att skapa och/eller reproducera. Det insamlade materialet bestod av det visuella materialet på hemsidorna hos Sveriges fem största gymkedjor, vilket analyserades med hjThe purpose of this study was that through a critical discourse analysis investigate what discourses take place in the communication among Swedish gym facilities, and what social structures regarding physical activity they are currently creating and/or reproducing. The collected material consisted of the visual mate-rial presented on the webpages of the five larges gym facilities in Sweden. The ma

Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida behovsbedömningen som genomförs i grundskolan för att ta reda på elevers eventuella behov av undervisning utifrån kursplanen i svenska som andraspråk, är ett problem för utbildade sva-lärare. Uppsatsen motiveras främst mot bakgrund av 1) de rapporter och granskningar som konstaterat att behovsbedömningen genomförs på olika sätt och med olika kvalitet, där det inte

Research shows that various aspects of environmental injustice can be found even on a local level in Sweden. Still, the topic of environmental justice is often disregarded in local planning processes and ecological and social concerns are often treated as two separate issues. To achieve just and sustainable planning, previous research emphasizes the importance of actively including and considering

The purpose of this study was to investigate how child and family social workers on the basis of a specific mentor model express their discretion in their professional role. The data was collected by using qualitative interviews with five social workers from the same workplace.The benchmark of the municipality was determinative for the social embeddedness, the social climate and the social network

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co

Due to increasing global energy demands and a need to move away from non-renewable energy sources, green hydrogen is now being considered as a possible replacement for fossil-based energy sources. Especially in “hard-to-abate” sectors, such as steel and petrochemical production, and long-distance transport, where the change to renewable electricity is more difficult. Green hydrogen is produced thr

Abstract Title: Market Reactions to Dividend Announcements: Evidence from the Swedish Stock Market Seminar Date: 31 May 2024 Course: FEKH89, Degree Project Undergraduate level, Business Administration, 15 ECTS Authors: Suprit Chowdary, Edgar Fahlström Nygren, Jacob Rothstein Advisor: Anamaria Cociorva Keywords: Dividend Announcements, Dividend Changes, Consensus Estimates, Cumulative Abnorma

In the search for neutron antineutron oscillations (n → ̄n) in the proposed 200m long NNBAR beamline, it is imperative that the pions originating from the antineutron annihilation events can be detected outside of the vacuum chamber. The purpose of the design of the vacuum chamber then becomes to minimise the effect of the chamber while also adhering to the requirements of the pressure vessels. To

A lack of somatostatin expressing interneurons (SST INs) is known to be a factor in several neurodegenerative and neurospsychiatric diseases, such as Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease and schizophrenia. Being able to efficiently obtain SST INs in vitro could enable a greater understanding and better treatment of these diseases. The development of SST INs is not yet fully understood, but it is

The use of antenna arrays allows for direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation in a radar system. The antenna elements in an array are conventionally positioned equidistantly on a grid, but they can also be placed relatively freely to form sparse antenna arrays. These non-conventional layouts could potentially offer improved DoA capabilities. In this work, a particle swarm optimization algorithm has b

Bakgrund: Barn ska få vara delaktiga och få anpassat stöd för att uttrycka sig i sin intervention. Barn med autismspektrumdiagnos (ASD) har ofta en annorlunda sensorisk process, vilket kan påverka delaktighet i aktiviteter. Det saknas information kring hur arbetsterapeuter samkonstruerar med barnet som klient i interventioner. Syfte: Att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuters samkonstruktion sker med barBackground: Children must receive tailored support to participate and express themselves in their care. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) commonly have a different sensory process, which can affect participation in activities. There is a lack of information regarding how occupational therapists collaborate with children as clients in interventions. Purpose: To investigate how occupation

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. Reducing these substantial emissions aligns with the objectives of

Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU) har ägnat flera år åt att undersöka den svenska berggrunden för att utreda möjligheterna för geologisk lagring av koldioxid. Djupt liggande akviferer anses ha störst potential och den kambriska Faluddensandstenen, som finns i Östersjön öster om Gotland, visar stor potential som lagringsakvifer. I denna studie har borrkärnan St. Sutarve-2018 från södra GotlandThe Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has spent several years investigating the Swedish bedrock to find suitable bedrock for geological storage of carbon dioxide. Deep saline aquifers are considered to have the greatest potential, and the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone subcropping in the Baltic Sea east of Gotland, shows great potential as a storage aquifer. In this study, the drill core St. Sutarve

Today, the textile industry in Sweden is responsible for up to 1800 tons of textile waste per year, a poor use of resources that results in a negative environmental impact. Additionally, with the rise of fast fashion, which is characterized by rapid trend circulation and a clothing production that matches, clothes are discarded at a higher rate than ever before. However, the popularity of secondha

During the past ten years, Sweden's security policy has undergone a clear change, where key events have been Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and, most recently, Sweden's entry into NATO in 2024. The focus on issues such as national security and military rearmament have increased. The essay discusses how a perceived need to improve resilience has put requirements on the population

This thesis studied the recording methodologies of conducting unannounced evacuation drills to enhance the understanding of evacuation behaviours and performance within the Complex Muon Solenoid (CMS) cavern at CERN. The primary objective was to validate the CMS underground evacuation simulation model for planned evacuation and compare various data collection methods. An unannounced evacuation dr

Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in up to 5% of worldwide pregnancies. It is a complex disease characterised by sudden onset hypertension, and it is harmful to the mother as well as the growing baby, accounting for 40% of fetal deaths worldwide. The disease can be divided into early and late-onset PE, defined as diagnosis earlier or later than 34 weeks of gestation. Despite decades of research, the cause
