Recycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided
The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow. Positive NDEs have previously been more extensively studied, whereas research about distressing NDEs is still lacking. There have only been a handful of studies that have used qualitative methods to study both distressing and positive NDEs. We accessed all dis
Sweden is considered one of the most prominent countries for gender equality, with relatively high levels of female board members at publicly listed companies. However, the EU Law on Gender Balance on Boards implemented in 2022 adds pressure for Sweden to maintain, and improve, gender distribution on boards since Sweden was able to opt out of the law. There is a lack of research on the topic for S
Brain Computer Interfacing is a sprawling scientific field, with many competing designs in use or being tested. The goal of this project was to compile information about Utah Arrays, Michigan Probes, Neural Lace (also known as Mesh Electronics), Neuralink and Stentrode, and compare the positives and negatives of each design. Of especial interest were the parameters of material, number of electrode
Studien undersöker på vilket sätt pedagoger och barn i förskolan kommunicerar kring musik. Syftet med undersökningen är att ta reda på vilka ord och begrepp som används i musikarbetet på förskolan och primärt i sångsamlingen och hur sångsamlingen organiseras. Genomförandet av studien utgår från två olika sätt att samla in data, observationer och kvalitativa intervjuer. Sångsamlingarna på förskolanThe study investigates how educators and children in preschool communicate about music. The purpose of the survey is to find out what kind of language and which words are used in the music work at the preschool, primarily when they sing together in Singing time and how Singing time is organized. The implementation of the study is based on two different ways of collecting data, observations and qua
Background: Studies have put spinal bifida which Myelomeningocoel (MMC) is a form at 6.1 per 10,000 births in Sweden. Other evaluations have pointed that disabilities could pose a burden on families despite the social net available within the Swedish society. It has been reported that depression, musculoskeletal disorders, and frequent health care visits are often likely to be reported in parents
This study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
Within the software industry it is now common to use the freemium business model; giving away the core product for free while charging for additional premium features. A risk for companies adopting the freemium business model is that the percentage of paying customers is not high enough to both subsidize all the free users and make profit for the company. This thesis investigates how the design o
Utrymning i sjukhus ställer speciella krav på brandsystem och byggnader då sjukhus ofta är stora och komplexa byggnader med många människor med olika förutsättningar. Där befinner sig personer i alla åldrar, personer med diverse nedsatt rörlighetsförmåga samt nedsövda personer som behöver assistans av anställda för att kunna utrymma byggnaden. Patienter som behöver assistans vid transport kan ta eEmergency evacuation in hospitals sets special demands on fire protection systems and the construction of the building since hospitals often are large and complex buildings. People and patients of all ages, with reduced mobility, and anesthetized people who are not capable to evacuate without assistance are often present. The procedure of evacuating a hospital is therefore not an easy task. The pu
Despite the fact that there are established networks that reach far beyond the ¨last mile¨, there are still difficulties encountered by the distribution networks of necessities in Uganda. The purpose of this thesis is to study how successful networks in Uganda operate, what characterizes them and under what possible conditions they could be used for distributing humanitarian supplies. The method f
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo
Ecosystem services from forests provide society with a multitude of benefits. However, current research shows that in Swedish forests aspects of ecosystem services have a status ranging from “moderate” to “inadequate”. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency set up environmental quality objectives (EQOs) specifically with the aim of identifying environmental problems that need to be addressed

This essay conducts a semiotic analysis of four Walt Disney Pictures films, two from the 1990s and two from the past decade. The films were selected based on their release periods and shared narratives. The first two films analyzed are Vaiana from 2016 and Pocahontas from 1995, chosen for their focus on independent female protagonists. The other two films, En annorlunda värld from 2022 and Lejonku
The decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. Detrimental effects of competition can result where co-existing species exhibit a high degree of shared resource use (i.e., niche overlap). Th
Risk perception and risk tolerance are key elements of decision-making and flight safety. During flight operations, an accident may occur if a pilot underestimates risk level or overestimates their capacity (risk tolerance). Despite the numerous research studies conducted previously on risk perception and risk tolerance, there has been limited investigation into the "evolution" of these
This thesis explores how Salesian Institutes are related to religious peace-building in post-colonial and post-conflict Cambodia. It examines if and how the Catholic-Salesian multi-religious educational mission system is able to peacefully co-exist in a Buddhist Cambodian society, and collaborate with other minority religions present – Protestant, Muslim, and non-religious in promoting education f
Our task has been to compare the ability of three different regulators to control some single-input single-output systems with unknown parameters. The regulators were a minimal variance regulator, the Self-TUning REgulator STURE and an active suboptimally dual regulator. No simulations with the minimal variance regulator are shown since it turned out that it performs as STURE on systems with const
