Popular Abstract in Swedish Under vilka villkor kan etnicitet relaterad till en invandrargrupp igenkännas och erkännas mottagarlandet? Hur omformas och förändras transnationella konstruktioner av etnicitet när de sätts in och används i lokala praktiker? Uppstår nya etniska och kulturella former när en kapitalstark transnationell grupp konfronteras med en migrationssituation? I en empirisk studie The main ambition in this study is to explore new perspectives on the relationship between ethnicity and symbolic capital, that is how different forms of ethnicity around a migrant group can be recognised and valued in the host society. At the same time, it is a case study that offers an opportunity to verify theories on local translations of transnational cultural forms by an empirical and histor

Older and normally more low-scale buildings are from a historical and cultural perspective in need to be preserved. But these older buildings are often also perceived as contributing to more beauty-oriented values to an urban environment, so called charm. For these reasons, new building development projects should be designed in such a way that these qualities are not destroyed. This study has thr

The aim of this study was to elucidate which knowledge professionals who work at social services and sheltered accommodations, consider to be important and which experiences they have gained in their work with girls/women who have been exposed to violence and threats. But we also wanted to examine how professionals work on the basis of available methods and interventions. The study was conducted u

Syfte: Vårt syfte är att undersöka aktiekursutvecklingen hos statligt ägda bolag som privatiserats helt eller delvis genom en börsintroduktion eller en nyemission. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka huruvida storleken av privatiseringen har någon betydelse för aktiekursens utveckling samt om privatiseringen kan användas som en investeringsstrategi. Metod: För att undersöka utvecklingen avPurpose: To examine the stock performance of formerly state owned enterprises that have been fully or partly sold to the market as a result of an IPO or SEO. The general purpose of this essay is to see if one can use privatizations as a investment strategy, and if the share size of the IPO or SEO can explanatory to the performance. Methodology: To be able to perform this study and fulfil the purp

Problem: The environmental impact from food production accounts for a relatively high percentage of the world’s environmental impacts. We need a sustainable development, not least a sustainable production and consumption of food. The study focuses on the concept of sustainable food through a comprehensive approach. Furthermore, the study embraces different impacts food creates on the climate and e

A shock absorber is used in road vehicles to provide comfortable driving and to optimize the grip. The characteristics are advanced and it takes powerful tools to model a shock absorber. Öhlins Racing AB in Upplands-Väsby is looking for a tool to physically describe their products; in this thesis the task is performed by using the modeling language Modelica and the simulation tool Dymola. The mode

The purpose of my essay is primarily to highlight the relevance of an obligation perspective, but also to draw attention to the problems related to e-waste. In my theory, I have mainly used the Onora O'Neill literature on the subject of obligations. To limit my working area, I have chosen to look at the legal and moral obligations. Further delineation is done by focusing on the obligations of

This is a cartographic vertical analysis of a verdict by the Swedish Supreme Administrative Court, regarding the right to support from the Social Services (HFD 2017 ref. 33). The case concerned three children and their mother whom lacked formal residency. They applied for assistance under the Social Services Act and the municipality’s health and welfare committee rejected the application. Followin

Soundwalking has its roots as a meditative practice, engaged with ecological concerns. Its origin in R. Murray Schafer's work imbibes it with longing for environments free of industrial sound, and Pauline Oliveros' sound-walking practice seeks the subtle emerging from the silence. Although these progenitors of what we call soundwalking offer us a wonderful palette of listening and walking practice

Behavioural science methods have significant potential to help policy makers, practitioners and energy programme managers design, implement and evaluate behavioural campaigns addressing hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users. But when facing budget and logistic constraints, how many real-life programmes actually follow through? How are behavioural science methods actually applied in a real-world setting

Perovskite solar cells have rapidly been developed over the past several years. Choice of the most suitable solar cell structure is crucial to improve the performance further. Here, we attempt to determine an optimum cell structure for methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) perovskite sandwiched by "2 and spiro-OMeTAD layers, among planar heterojunction, mesoporous structure, and extremely thin absor

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis (OA) is critical for early diagnosis and effective treatment. OA is a leading cause of disability and poses an increasing burden on healthcare systems, particularly with an aging global population. Despite the potential of proteomics to elucidate the complex biology underlying OA, its application remains limited due to challenges including g

Channel measurements of large-scale multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MU-MIMO) radio propagation channels are presented. In the setup, three users with patch antennas communicate simultaneously with a base station (BS) equipped with a large antenna array in an indoor environment. Both a uniform linear array (ULA) and a uniform planar array (UPA) are used, and their relative ability to sepa

Young children’s engagements with digital technologies form part of their emergent everyday literacy practices. The study reported here derives from the pan-European study ‘A Day in the Digital Lives of Children aged 0-3’. The methodology was centred on the videoing of an entire day’s experiences of a child aged under 3, together with a reflective interview with the parents and inventories related
