In this study, staff in child and adolescent psychiatry and municipal activity for youth employment centers have been interviewed. The purpose has been to highlight
The modern society is associated with widespread sound recording in public environments as well as in the workplace and at home, which motivates an increased use of speech anonymisation techniques in recorded audio. A demonstrative example is masking recorded speech in hospitals' waiting rooms for eavesdropping listeners inside a control room, thus ensuring privacy of information. This thesis
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how national culture plays a role in consumer perceptions through a comparative case study of three different ethical skincare brands from three different countries. Methodology: This study makes use of a qualitative research method, data collection is done through semi-structured mediated interviews of 20 participants from 14 different c
Background Rugby is a high-impact sport with significant injury rates. Injuries are common and rehabilitation is often needed. For optimal rehabilitation, a knowledge of injury surveillance concerning current description of injuries, prehabilitation and rehabilitation is necessary and moreover, the differences in these matters regarding men and women’s teams. Purpose This study aims to investiga
In this master's thesis, data from eight different cases of novice entrepreneurs is gathered. The goal was to investigate how novice entrepreneurs shape their decision-making process to manage uncertainty in the early stages of their ventures. Utilizing qualitative interviews conducted between March and April of 2024, this study delves into the different strategies used by novice entrepreneurs
In the rapidly evolving electric vehicle (EV) battery industry, strategic supplier selection is crucial for securing a reliable and cost-effective supply chain. This thesis examines the implementation of a capacity analysis and a should-cost model to optimize supplier selection and contracting for Northvolt, a leading battery manufacturer, as it expands into North America. With Northvolt's new
The industrial sector of Sweden used 136 TWh of energy 2022 out of which the agricultural sector used 6.09 TWh. The goal of the country is to become 50% more energy efficient by 2030 compared to 2005. Furthermore, Sweden’s long-term target is to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. From 2005-2022 the total energy use of the agricultural sector has been reduced by 16% but previous stu
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka erfarenheter lärare har av systematiskt kvalitetsarbete, samt vilka möjligheter och begränsningar de identifierar med arbetssättet. För att besvara frågorna används kvalitativa intervjuer med sju lärare som arbetar vid en kommunal högstadieskola. Empirin har analyserats med hjälp av organisationssociologisk teori och perspektiv på organisering av offentl
Stirred tanks are essential components in design and optimization of food processing lines, as they assure proper mixing and homogenization of ingredients. In this context, the mixing time is one of the most impactful performance parameters affecting various process design decisions. Thus, reliable methods to accurately predict mixing times in stirred tanks are highly desired. The aim of this the
Refrigerant systems such as chillers and are widely used to create a comfortable indoor climate, often incorporated in large buildings or offices. It relies on a refrigerant circuit that lowers temperature of a coolant via a heat exchanger, called an evaporator. The coolant enters a fan coil which lowers the surrounding air temperature in a desired space and recirculates back to the evaporator at
Business angels play a crucial role in stimulating the growth of early-stage ventures. They are key players in the venture financing market, providing both financial support and experience from their own entrepreneurial experiences. As the entrepreneurial landscape has historically advantaged males, leading to its male-predominance, previous studies raise awareness of how business angels, particul
Bakgrund: Forskning visar att aktivitet och delaktighet är viktigt för en persons hälsa. Vikten av att utföra aktiviteter i en miljö med rätt förutsättningar är beforskat. Forskningen om ickebinäras hinder och möjligheter att deltaga och utföra aktiviteter är begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka ickebinära personers upplevelse av hinder och faktorer som möjliggör aktivitet och delaktighet i Sverige. Metod
Cybersäkerhet är en pressad utmaning i dagens samhälle och är en strategisk prioritering som kräver omfattande arbete. Denna studie utforskar de faktorer som påverkar implementeringen av cybersäkerhetsstrategier inom organisationer. Genom att använda Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) ramverket, analyseras hur tekniska, organisatoriska och omgivningsmässiga aspekter påverkar cybersäkerhetså
Etik är något som påverkar alla människor. Interaktioner mellan människor implicerar nödvändigheten av etiska överväganden. Ju komplexare situationer dessa interaktioner består av, desto mer övervägande krävs det. En sådan interaktion är rekrytering. Rekrytering innebär mellanmänskliga interaktioner av en komplex art, vilket kräver etiska överväganden som inte kan förklaras av våra vardagliga uppf
Background: The rise of influencer marketing, fuelled by globalisation and social media popularity, has led to an increased ethically contested promotion of aesthetic surgery by influencers. Existing research has primarily focused on consumers, leaving the influencer perspective and their ethical justifications largely unexplored. Purpose: To explore the ethical justifications of social media infl
This study aimed to engineer and characterize a series of Amelogenin-ELP fusion proteins to explore their potential as biomaterials with enhanced properties. Eleven constructs (176-186) were designed and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) cells, with successful purification confirmed by SDS-PAGE. Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) revealed that constructs 181, 185, and 186 formed nanospheres similar to fu
This study evaluates a methanol compression ignition engine's stability, performance, and emissions using glow plugs at low loads. A Scania D13 engine modified to run on methanol was tested to assess the impact of glow plugs on combustion stability, engine efficiency, and emissions characteristics, particularly in combination with various injection strategies. The research objectives focused o
This thesis examines the nascent sector of cultivated meat in Europe, analysing its potential market penetration against the backdrop of evolving consumer attitudes, complex regulatory frameworks, and innovative business models. Given the pressing environmental concerns associated with traditional meat production, cultivated meat presents a sustainable alternative that promises to reshape the meat
