The study is based on the social constructivist perspective and Yvonne Hirdman's gender theory. The theory choices have been made to make visible how words in news media construct both gender and the overall image of girls within SiS special residential homes for yout
2006 antog FN:s generalförsamling Konventionen om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning (CRPD). Konventionens tillkomst sägs ofta förkroppsliga det paradigmskifte som skett vad gäller synen på människor med funktionsnedsättningar – från att tidigare betraktas som offer i behov av vård, till att ses som rättighetsbärare med krav på samhällsförändring för att kunna delta i samhället på lIn 2006, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The adoption of the convention is often said to embody the paradigm shift that has taken place regarding the view of people with disabilities – from previously being regarded as victims in need of care, to being seen as rights holders with demands for social change in order
Peru grapples with severe water insecurity due to climate change and ecosystem degradation. In response, the government implemented the Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanism for Water Security (MERESE), employing Payment for Ecosystem Services to incentivize nature-based solutions. Central to MERESE are Good Governance Platforms, multi-stakeholder bodies overseeing implementation and ensuring
Detta examensarbete behandlar teorin kring samt utvecklingen av biologiskt nedbrytbara polymerblandningar med polykaprolakton (PCL) som en av komponenterna. PLA (Polylactic acid, en mjölksyrapolymer) blandades med PCL i koncentrationen 5 till 35% och blandningarna framställes genom extrudering i en dubbelskruvsextruder i syfte att förbättra drag- och slagegenskaper jämfört med ren PLA. De extruderThis master thesis paper deals with the theory and development of bioplastic blends with polycaprolactone (PCL) as a mechanical property enhancer. Polylactic acid (PLA) was blended with PCL in concentrations ranging from 5 to 35%, the blends were prepared through melt extrusion in a co-rotating twin-screw extruder with the aim of improving the tensile and impact properties compared to pure PLA. Th
This thesis is an analysis of contemporary Manga Culture in Japan and Sweden. The objective of the study was to identify the potential and problems for Manga culture and its future in the international market. Also I try to examine the potential of Manga to establish its academic status. This research will be based on the analysis of the transition and features of Manga related with Japanese cultu
This thesis looks at the issues of land grabbing and climate change in Sub-Saharan Africa. Taking the situations of small-scale farmers – the dominant group of people population-wise and producers of 90 percent of the subcontinent’s food – as its focus, it also looks at how climate change might make land grabbing worse. It is argued that climate change will do so because of: decreased agricultural
The complexity with which modern science develops and drives the scientific community to reorganise makes it important to analyse what organisational forms research activity takes and why. Collaboration becomes a flexible arrangement designed to meet scientific challenges by scientists and non-scientists in common. It is increasingly recognised to be the best, or even perhaps the only way of achie
The purpose of this thesis was to develop and design a new machine for fatigue testing of bicycles. It was carried out for and in close cooperation with Svensk Maskinprovning AB, The Swedish Machinery Testing Institute. The machine was to test certain bicycle components according to a new standard of certification, valid in the entire EU. The goal was to attack the problem as openmindedly as possi
Current legislation regarding implementation of water mist system(s) requires full scale testing specific to its intended use which involves extensive funding that discourages potential users. This motivates the desire for accurate water mist simulation. The extent to this possibility is studied for a specific high pressure water mist system, “Danfoss 1910”, and its effect on controlled fires of d
Easy exposure of biological particles for molecular stimuli is of interest when examining the effects of antibiotics on different bacteria or to perform toxicity analysis for biophysical studies of vesicles. Such experiments require advanced equipment that can only be found in laboratories and are vastly time-consuming. A possible solution to the problem could be a “lab-on-a-chip”, which in short
This thesis studies the possibility of estimating the ambient temperature around a mobile phone using its internal temperature sensors. The thesis aims to develop and evaluate ambient temperature models that use internal temperature sensors within the device and, from a manufacturer’s perspective, investigate if the models for ambient temperature can be enhanced by tailoring them to the internals
In the constantly changing environment in which companies operate, it is important to be able to optimize various activities throughout the product lifecycle. This places great demands on companies and their value chain, where information exchanges are central to activities. There are risks and rewards, such as the risk of losing intellectual property and unlocking new business cases, that co
This thesis seeks to understand the role that Swedish civil society (in the form of children’s rights organizations) play in the creation of legislation, through the writing of consultation responses and role in the discussions of the law following its incorporation. The aim is to understand the interplay between the political system and civil society through the eyes of the civil society’s employ
I arbetet med att göra industrin mer energieffektiv har packningsförsedda värmeväxlare en betydande roll då den effektivt överför värme mellan fluider. Detta exjobb ämnar at utreda och utveckla en ny stöttande fot till Alfa Lavals packningsförsedda värmeväxlare. Målet var att ta fram en design som kan klara av allvarliga externa laster genererade av till exempel ett anslutande rörsystem eller jordIn the process of making the industry more energy efficient, the gasketed plate heat exchanger has an important role as it effectively transfers heat between fluids. This master thesis aims to investigate and develop a new supportive foot for Alfa Laval’s gasketed plate heat exchangers. The goal was to present a design that can sustain severe external loads induced by for example the connecting pi
The purpose of this study was to examine how The Municipal Housing Company of Lund (LKF) could plan future waste management in the construction phase of new rental apartments. With this thesis, I aimed at exploring trends regarding household waste and effects on future waste fractions through an environmental scanning. In addition, I presented and identified current best practice waste collection
Searches for exclusive decays of the Higgs boson into D⁎γ and of the Z boson into D0γ and Ks0γ can probe flavour-violating Higgs boson and Z boson couplings to light quarks. Searches for these decays are performed with a pp collision data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 136.3 fb−1 collected at s=13TeV between 2016–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.
Despite growing interest in community-based ecotourism as a pathway to sustainable development, there is a critical lack of research on how localized configurations of marketing and policy factors shape ecolodge performance at the village level. This study addresses this gap by pioneering a comprehensive, contextually grounded analysis of the availability and desirability of key marketing and poli
Understanding the structure-property relationship in electrocatalysts under working conditions is crucial for the rational design of novel and improved catalytic materials. This paper presents the Aarhus University reactor for electrochemical studies using X-rays (AUREX) operando electrocatalytic flow cell, designed as an easy-To-use versatile setup with a minimal background contribution and a uni
Changing rainfall patterns make farmers increasingly vulnerable to crop failure, income loss and food insecurity. Agroecology is proposed to reduce climate vulnerabilities of farmers, as such practices and social movement aim to create more resilient farm and food systems. It is however fairly unknown if, and to what extent, agroecological farmers are better able to cope with climate induced expos
In this commentary, we reflect on the program chair experience of ICIS 2015 to pass on some useful organizational memory for the IS community at large. We also reflect on volunteer effort required for a high-quality conference and the challenges of maintaining quality over a diverse and dispersed reviewing effort. We ask whether we can count on this volunteer effort in a changing higher education
