By using Instagram as an empirical context, this thesis explores similarities and differences in the perceptions of a personal brand from a perspective of ordinary
The electric vehicle public charging network has been suggested as a major challenge hampering the further adoption of electric vehicles. Little research have applied a user perspective when investigating the charging network, and there is a knowledge gap concerning what affects the charging network experience of electric vehicle drivers. The area of research was limited to include electric vehicl
According to IPCC:s latest report a rise in extreme weather situations is expected as a result of global warming. Climate changes are causing more intense precipitation and rising sea levels. Because of this, flood events are expected to increase. Studies show that flood events cause increased transport of contaminants due to flooding of contaminated sites. This can cause harm on both humans and t
This paper attempts to extend the knowledge in entrepreneurial theory, through the expansion of traditional concepts for entrepreneurial processes, to identify a new phenomenon in new venture creation. In combination with previous research on entrepreneurial processes, creation theory, user entrepreneurs and community-driven innovation in the sport industry, the study will focus on a single in-dep
The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges for self-employed artists who use social media for their business.

The volcano Rangitoto belongs to the Auckland volcanic field and is situated north east of Auckland city, New Zealand. The volcanos of the Auckland volcanic field have previously thought to be of monogenetic origin, but recent studies indicate that Rangitoto has a long history of eruptions, which would suggest that the volcanic system may have entered a new phase. The last eruption is dated to 500
In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv
Optisk stimulerad luminiscens-analys (OSL-analys) är en metod som används för att datera bl.a. sediment från senkvartär tid. Det är av intresse för att ta reda på när geologiska händelser ägde rum och när isarna rört sig under senaste glaciationen och deglaciationen. Ett mineral som kan användas för åldersbestämning med OSL är kvarts. OSL åldersbestämmer inte kvartskornet utan avsättningsåldern föOptically stimulated luminescence analysis (OSL analysis) is a method used to date sediments from late Quaternary. The method is useful to find out when geological events took place and when the ice sheets moved during the recent glaciation and deglaciation. A mineral that can be used for determination of age with OSL is quartz. The OSL dating method does not determine the age of the individual qu
The aim of this essay is to explore cyberbullying and online hate in games with a focus on how the game developers attempt to self-regulate this hate. With the Swedish laws not being in place to protect the victims and sanctioning the offenders this aspect is a clear example of in-formal control. The essay used Barry Zimmerman’s theory about self-regulation. The empirical part of this essay consis
Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur fyra jazzsaxofonister övar utan sitt instrument. Studiens fokus är den typ av övning utan instrument som kan relateras till begrepp som mental övning och visualisering. För att se hur informanterna övar utan saxofonen måste denna typ av övning relateras till deras övning med saxofonen, därav studiens titel och forskningsområde. Fyra professionella jaThe purpose of this study is to investigate how four jazz saxophonists practice without their instruments. The focus of the study is the type of exercise without the instrument that can be related to concepts like mental practice and visualization. To see how they practice without the saxophone this type of exercise must be related to their practice with the saxophone, hence the title and research
Plastic carrier bags are one of the most frequently littered objects. They tend to accumulate in the oceans, posing a threat to marine organisms and birds which mistake them for food. To tackle this environmental issue, the EU has decided to reduce the consumption of plastic carrier bags through an amending directive. The directive is regulated through the Swedish regulation regarding plastic carr
Many scholars agree that current fast fashion system is highly unsustainable and causes many environmental and social challenges worldwide. Given this, the main aim of this thesis is to explore the concept of slow fashion and understand its potential benefits, contributing to sustainability within the current fashion system. On one hand, slow fashion represents an alternative production and consum
Denna kvalitativa forskningsstudies syfte är att undersöka vad som motiverar ungdomar till att börja producera musik och att sedan söka musikproduktion som huvudsaklig inriktning på gymnasiet. Studien syftar även till att ta reda på hur dessa elevers motivation till att producera musik sedan påverkas av sina klasskamraters olika bakgrunder och kunskapsnivåer samt det sociala samspelet i en musikpr
In this bachelor thesis, we have analyzed gender, gender roles and sexuality in children’s literature. We have used five of the most read children’s books from the city library in Lund, of the age category six to nine, to do a qualitative literary analysis. By using the theoretical concept of gender and sexuality and by being inspired by Nikolajeva, a professor in children’s literature, we have th
The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a
Ett existerande problem idag är att personer inte använder tillräckligt säkra lösenord för att kunna värja sig mot olika attacker. Denna studie undersöker hur anställdas tidigare kunskap och utbildning inom lösenordssäkerhet påverkar deras faktiska kunskap och hur de applicerar denna kunskap när de väljer lösenord. Protection Motivation Theory och Social Cognitive Theory appliceras i denna studie.
The energy sector in the world today is in the middle of a huge challenge regarding grid development and power production. Whilst a significant part of the world's population are struggling without access to electricity, the more developed part of the world is trying to replace existing energy sources into renewable ones, and are also facing the challenge of an aging grid which is in desperate
