Sammanfattning Under slutet av 1960-talet genomgick bostadsmarknaden och lagstiftningarna som hör till en stor förändring. Däribland skärptes hyreslagen med fler krav på underhåll och fastighetsskötsel, och en utredning föreslog att grov vanvård ska vara en grund för expropriation. Under 1969 kom även en utredning angående att införa en lagstiftning som möjliggjorde tvångsförvaltning av fastighetAbstract The Housing Management Act (1977:792) enables compulsory management of properties that are neglected. However, the law can only be applied to tenements. In the year of 2021, the law underwent an amendment, which came into force on January 1, 2022. In all forms of housing that are in an apartment building, have common areas and constructions that require joint management. The purpose of t

Luftförorening är ett globalt hälsoproblem och i Moçambique orsakas inomhusluftförorening främst av matlagning över öppen eld. Denna studie undersöker potentialen hos kokosnötskol som en renare bränslekälla för matlagning och som en möjlig inkomstkälla för kvinnor i byn Linga Linga, Moçambique. En tidigare studie i byn identifierade ett behov av att undersöka hushållens vilja att anta en annan matAir pollution is a global health problem and in Mozambique, indoor air pollution is primarily caused by cooking over an open fire. This study examines the potential of coconut charcoal as a cleaner cooking fuel and as a possible source of income for women in the village of Linga Linga, Mozambique. Previous research conducted in the village identified a need to investigate the willingness of the co

Purpose: The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between institutional ownership and firm innovation in a Swedish and contemporary context.

For the past centuries, human-nature relationships have deteriorated into a drastic disconnection, characterized by a lack of compassion for nature and insufficient action for mitigating environmental degradation. This study investigates connectedness with nature (CWN) among regular meditation practitioners. Nine in-depth interviews were conducted with meditation practitioners active in Sweden. Th

I denna masteruppsats undersöks hur internetmemes om andra världskriget används på det Reddit-baserade forumet r/ww2memes för att bilda gemenskap. Eftersom internetmemes ofta saknar upphovsperson och tydligt ursprung studeras de här som allmänna kulturella fenomen, tillkomna genom deltagande på forumet, vilka genom humor ger uttryck för historiesyn och gemenskap. I syfte att genomföra studien har World War II as an in(ternet)-joke : A study on cultural community on the forum r/ww2memes. This master’s thesis examines the construction of community on the Reddit-forum r/ww2memes, dedicated to publishing and sharing internet memes concerning World War 2. By constructing a theoretical framework consisting of a certain use of history applied in presentist temporalities, herein referred to as ap

Strangeness production in small systems such as proton-proton collisions is here investigated through the use of three-particle correlations in the momentum-space coordinates η and ϕ. This method is used in order to investigate possible correlation between conservation of both strangeness and baryon number, such that the particles chosen are Λ¯pK+ and the respective charge conjugates, where Λ is a

Our study aims to get a greater understanding of why students choose a social work education and why the education is so popular despite the social service’s negative reputation. We also aim to get an understanding of the student's intended career paths. We used Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic approach to the study so that we could use our own interpretations of why students made their ch

Denna uppsats syftar till att studera utvecklingskurvan hos frontend-utvecklare. Studien undersöker hur en frontend-utvecklare anskaffar nya färdigheter och förmågor samt vilka utmaningar de ibland står inför. Studien genomförs med en kvalitativ metod bestående av sex intervjuer med frontend-utvecklare på olika yrkesnivåer. Datan från intervjuerna, tillsammans med litteraturinsamling, delas upp i

Domestic violence is a widespread social problem. Although studies show that support from social services can be a key support to able to leave a violent relationship, few seek this help. Reports of social workers who fail to help females subjected to violence show that something has to change. This study has aimed to examine how the support from women's shelters is designed for women who seek

Circular Economy (CE) is seen as a potential solution to sustainability challenges (eg. global warming), but companies lack guidance in adopting these strategies. The study addresses the need for a unified methodology to assess and prioritize CE strategies at the organizational level. The research integrates social dimensions (social CE indicators and Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (S
