Gendered violence against woman and children has been in existence and predominant in various societies for a long period of time with its intensity varying from one factor to the other. Many nations around the world including Ghana in West Africa have measures and directives to mitigate of the persistent social menace and possibly eradicate it towards sustainable welfare and development for indiv

The purpose of this study is to explore the entrepreneurial barriers and entrepreneurial coping strategies that highly academically skilled ethnic minority entrepreneurs [EMEs] experience in operating a start-up in Sweden. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 10 participants to support the inductive nature of this study and to better understand the entrepreneurial experiences of this p

This essay addresses the medical diagnosis known as “ADHD” from a sociological perspective. The primary aim has been to address how the participants of two well-established Swedish internet forums perceive and approach ADHD. A brief reflection regarding prior research regarding ontology, a perspective on nurture versus nature, as well as a prior study regarding the discourse of ADHD is then provid

Restrictions in the distribution of interventions by the public elderly care have resulted in an increase in care for relatives. Those who have increased their relative care are primarily women, especially women from the working class and women who provide care to a relative who was born outside the Nordic countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate young female second-generation Swede

Belonging to the group of Nickel-based superalloys, Inconel 718 has excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength, which is crucial for applications in the aerospace industry, for example, the manufacturing of components for engines. The low machinability of Inconel 718 demands the higher performance of the cutting tool. Drilling is one of the conventional machining operations apply

Studiens syfte är att analysera fenomenet lokal e-handel och skapa en fördjupad förståelse för vilken funktion fenomenet fyller för lokala detaljister i stadskärnan i en större svensk stad, och undersöka om det kan vara stadskärnans räddning. För en nyanserad förståelse för om lokal e-handel kan rädda stadskärnan inkluderas även Citysamverkans- och Zipadoos syn på forskningsfenomenet i studien. Ge

In this thesis, I critically scrutinize the data-driven policing tool POL-INTEL, which was implemented in the Danish police in 2017. To better understand how we are governed and policed through POL-INTEL I look at the problematisations and forms of subjectifications constituted in the policies to acquire and implement the system in the police and through the technology of POL-INTEL itself. For thi

I uppsatsen undersöks vilka perspektiv på redaktörens yrkesroll och redigeringspraktik som skrivs fram i handböcker om innehållsredigering av fiktion. En komparativ kvalitativ innehållsanalys genomförs av tre amerikanska handböcker som är skrivna av redaktörer: The Fiction Editor, The Novel, And The Novelist av Thomas McCormack, The Story Grid av Shawn Coyne och Self-Editing For Fiction Writers av

Democracy promotion has received increased attention within development cooperation during the 21st century. The purpose of this study is to investigate foreign aid’s impact on democratization processes. Previous similar studies have mostly conducted quantitative methods or qualitative methods investigating foreign aid’s impact on economic outcomes. This study conducts a qualitative method and inv

Many models beyond the Standard Model that predict the existence of multiple Higgs bosons. In general, some of these additional Higgs bosons could be quasi-degenerate in mass either to each other or to the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson. The goal of this thesis is to study under which circumstances we can resolve such Higgs bosons. We first make the simplifying assumption that the observed and predi

A study on the Kamrangirchar slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh has been completed by analyzing literature involving qualitative data, as well as quantitative data using a mixed method research design. The quantitative data from the World Bank (2020) and the UNDP (2020) is provided as background for the research. A series of relevant case studies and state documents are analyzed by using a qualitative ‘oni

När jag var liten läste mamma sagor för mig varje kväll. Favoriterna var bilderböckerna. Den jag tyckte bäst om hette Hattstugan som Elsa Beskow hade skrivit. Inte visste jag då att mamma också hade lyssnat på samma saga när hon var liten när mormor läste för henne. Likadant när mormor var liten på 1940-talet och fick höra den av sin mamma. Att en författarinna född 1874 skulle läses och uppskatt

Möjliga vägar för grön vätgas från Nordsjön Hur kan vi förse framtidens användare med vätgas? Den havsbaserade vindkraften är på frammarsch och vätgas ser ut att kunna bli vindkraftens starkaste allierade. Men hur får vi vätgasen från vindkraftsområdena till där den ska användas? Behöver vi omvandla den till mer effektiva former? Vilket transportsätt är bäst? Nu har vi svaret på dessa frågor föRenewable hydrogen can be transported using different hydrogen carriers and modes of transport. Each carrier and mode is associated with different drawbacks and benefits relating to – among other factors – storage density and losses. The forthcoming expansion of offshore wind is likely to be coupled with hydrogen production in some way and there are many different ways that this can be done. Th

This thesis report summarizes the research on the cold aging of gray cast iron samples dating back 100 years, and how researchers looked at the phase history and amount of impurities and trace metals generated by recycling. Initially, the topic of the thesis is introduced, with an explanation and general information on gray cast iron. The chemistry and structure of gray cast iron are both discusse

Covid-19 has forced organisations globally to shift from a physical office to a re-mote workspace overnight. One year into the pandemic, research suggests remote work could be the ‘new normal’, highlighting the need for organisations to enhance their knowledge of this practise. By investigating remote workers at the United Na-tions Development Programme (UNDP), this study aims to explore the impli

The thesis empirically studies the relationship between the trend of financialization and innovation in China. Several years ago, due to the slow-down of Chinese real economy, there appeared two tendencies in business environment: the increasing financial asset allocation of Chinese non-financial companies (named as financialization) and the authority’s will of boosting the real industries, especi

Taking the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as the point of departure, this thesis aims to explore the relationship between neoliberalism and the welfare state in Sweden, which has long been regarded a prime example of a successful marriage between capitalism and socialism through the social democratic welfare state. With this in mind, this thesis explores the areas of (health)care, work, and economy

Purpose: This study aims to investigate how start-ups use entrepreneurial marketing to attract as well as retain customers and compete against large companies in the food industry under the assumption that large corporations are adapting entrepreneurial marketing approaches. Methodology: The inductive qualitative study is based on eight semi-structured interviews with active founders which provid

De flesta levande celler fäster på ytor av olika slag för att kunna växa, men vilka faktorer som bidrar till deras infästning på metallytor är hittills okänt. Man vet att ytans ojämnhet spelar en roll och att vissa material är cytotoxiska. Målet med den här studien är att vidare undersöka effekten som ojämnheten har på cellproliferation, genom att odla celler från cellinjen A549 på olika metallytoMost living cells attach and proliferate on surfaces, but the reasons for attachment are scarcely researched when it comes to attachment on metal surfaces. Surface roughness is known to have an effect, and some materials are known to be toxic to cells. The aim of this study is to further investigate the effects of surface roughness on cell proliferation through the use of the A549 cell line plante

This thesis aims to examine gender norms in parental leave praxes and attitudes towards earmarked paternity leave. The starting point is a forthcoming EU directive on work-life balance for parents and carers that will implement earmarked paternity leave in Denmark by 2022. The empirical data consists of nine semi-structured interviews with six new, first-time parents (three couples). The study set
