This thesis analyses the view on philanthropic organizations as it is expressed in the new law of poor relief passed in 1918 and in the discussions and motivations that underlie the law, published in 1915. By using Thomas F. Gieryns concept boundary-work the thesis analyses the different types of boundary-work that form part of the reform work of the law. The discussions that underlie the law take

Down to the roots is a project about just that; seeing where things come from and how are they made. I have a background in textile design which I wanted to enhance in this project. Therefore I wanted to examine the technique of tufting. This is a textile technique that is not talked about that much, but most of today’s carpets are made this way. In tufting threads are shot into a fabric, situate

Studies on cognitive psychology have shown that estimates of probability are influenced by the way in which semantic and numeric information is presented to us – so called framing bias. Further, studies on intelligence populations have indicated that bias is present in the analytic work. The aim of this study was to explore how framing bias can manifest in estimates of probability in intelligenc

Utbrottet av coronaviruset Covid-19 har påverkat världen drastiskt på mycket kort tid. Syftet med studien var att studera upplevelsen av vilken påverkan pandemin har på den mentala hälsan, samt vilka grupper som är mer sårbara för psykisk ohälsa och vilka faktorer som är predicerande för att drabbas. Studien genomfördes i en tvärsnittsdesign med en webbenkät till svensktalande personer (n = 360) ö

I Sverige kom det första undantaget från turordningsreglerna 1994 med syftet att upprätthålla balansen mellan arbetstagarnas trygghet och verksamheternas behov av flexibilitet. Sedan 2001 är undantaget i turordningsreglerna begränsat till två personer och gäller för företag med högst tio anställda. År 2020 är tvåundantaget återigen uppe för diskussion om ändring i och med betänkandet SOU 2020:30,

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att ur ett genusperspektiv belysa hur unga kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi uppfattar att könsnormer har påverkat deras insjuknande och vidmakthållande av sjukdomen. Studien baserades på en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av sex självbiografier skrivna av kvinnor som har eller har haft anorexi. Självbiografierna är skrivna av kvinnor i Sverige år 2000–2019. AnalThe aim of this study was to examine and explore women's experiences of how gender norms affect the onset and duration of anorexia nervosa in young women from a gender perspective. The focus of the study was on the women’s own story of the role gender norms played in the course of their illness. The study was based on a qualitative analysis of a selection of six autobiographies written by wome

Vehicle-to-vehicle (VTV) wireless communications have many envisioned applications in traffic safety and congestion avoidance, but the development of suitable communications systems and standards requires accurate models for the VTV propagation channel. In this paper, we present a new wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) model for VTV channels based on extensive MIMO channel measurements

Building owners are encouraged to reduce energy use in order to both contribute to national energy-saving goals and reduce the costs of heating and operation. It is important to choose the most optimal renovation measures available so as to achieve cost-effective energy use while maintaining excellent indoor environments, without sacrificing architectural quality or negatively affecting the enviro

Hypertension is a multifactorial disease in which the interplay of genetic and environmental factors that maintain blood pressure stable throughout life is altered. Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-derived metabolites of arachidonic acid such as epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), active on vascular tone, endothelial function and renal sodium reapportion, have been

Background: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is diagnosed at a metastatic stage but no diagnostic effort is spared to find the primary cancers because these will guide the treatment. Consequently, the diagnostic work-up for CUP is more comprehensive than for any other cancer, resulting in detection of second cancers unrelated to CUP. We want to use the detection rate of second cancers as a measure
