Phubbing beskriver fenomenet då en eller flera personer under en social interaktion tar upp sin mobiltelefon och riktar sin uppmärksamhet mot den istället för den eller de en umgås med. Phubbing har i tidigare kvantitativa studier visat sig ge upphov till negativa känslor och tycks påverka relationer och relationskvalitet negativt. Därför ämnar denna kvalitativa studie besvara forskningsfrågan: HuPhubbing describes the phenomenon when one or more people during a social interaction pick up their mobile phone and direct their attention to it instead of the person or people they are hanging out with. Phubbing has in previous quantitative studies been shown to give rise to negative emotions and seems to affect relationships and relationship quality negatively. Therefore, this qualitative study
Studies conducted within the field of Strategic Communication have often had communication practitioners working within organizations as the object of investigation. Communication consultants, however, is a professional role within Strategic Communication that needs further investigation.

Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
Mikroplast har varit ett stort föroreningsproblem sedan början av plastens massproduktion på 1950-talet. Mikroplast bildas dels när plastmaterial avsiktligt skapas för att vara del av skönhetsprodukter och liknande och dels oavsiktligt, när plast bryts ner till mindre partiklar på grund av solljus, vind och regn. Detta kallas för primär respektive sekundär mikro-plast. Mikroplast är ett stort probMicroplastics (MPs) are a major pollution concern since the start of the mass produc-tion of plastics in the 1950s. MPs form A) when plastics are produced intentionally to be part of beauty products and B) when plastics are broken down into smaller particles by sunlight, wind, and rain. This is called primary and secondary microplastics, respectively. MPs are a concern because they can carry toxic
The radome, a portmanteau of the words radar and dome, is a protective dielectric cover to protect a radar from its surrounding environment. The surrounding environment can be rain, wind, sand, dust and whatever else that might harm the radar. Radomes come in many different shapes, materials and thicknesses, where each of these parameters are decided based on the need for the given radar applicati
Sweden has a long history of colonialism in the Sápmi region where the state repeatedly has claimed land at the expense of reindeer husbandry and the Sami culture. The Swedish government has never recognized its colonial history and is still today claiming land for various projects, often covered by wording about sustainable development and a green transition. The purpose of this thesis has been t
Gängkriminaliteten låg i mars 2022 i topp tre viktigaste valfrågor för väljare inför valet. Regeringen lade 2019 fram en 34-stegsplan för att bekämpa den gängkriminella situation som råder i Sverige och av förslagen att läsa, ses i vissa grund i den vetenskapliga forskning som finns, samtidigt som en del förslag går rakt emot den. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka den kriminalpolitiska situ
Bakgrund: Covid-19 pandemin medförde att personer 70 år och äldre ansågs vara en riskgrupp och behövde begränsa all social kontakt. Högtider och traditioner är en viktig del i flera människors liv som bidrar med förutsägbarhet, tillhörighet och gemenskap. Samtidigt finns det begränsat med kunskap kring hur högtider och traditioner upplevdes och firades under pandemin. Syfte: Syftet var att undersö

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is arising gradually as a useful methodology in the AEC field. One of the many benefits of BIM is coordination between stakeholders from multiple disciplines. However, the field of Fire Safety Engineering (FSE) is relatively lagging by its lack of integration into this digital workflow. This lack of integration increases the efforts needed to evaluate the desig
When a joint facility is not constructed on time or the payment for the compulsory purchase is absent the joint facility can be de-registered. This topic has not been studied before and the aim of this study is to evaluate how common de-registrations are and to understand what we can learn from practical cases. The study researches the present and historically legislation through a systematic revi
The fermented tea beverage kombucha is a traditional drink that has been consumed for thousands of years in Asia. Over the past decades, it has gained greatly in popularity amongst consumers and researchers also in the rest of the world. Kombucha is produced through fermentation of sweetened tea by a complex community of bacteria, mainly dominated by acetic acid bacteria, and a variety of yeast. D
Due to the changing climate, rainfall in Sweden is expected to increase with about 20%-25% during this century which means that there is a need for climate adaptation to mitigate the problems that follow heavy rainfall. A way to climate adapt cities is by implementing bluegreen solutions. This study is about a system of blue-green solutions in a residential area in Lund. The system consists of fi
A system for affective touch has been constructed, in a study of humanoid and social robotics. The system detects, processes and analyses signals from touch, identifies touch types, and provides a corresponding emotional response and expression. Touch is detected on an Epi humanoid robot head through the use of conductive paint on the inside on the head shell, and the electrical signal produced is
Byggbranschen står för 33% av Sveriges årliga energianvändning. Genom att göra nödvändiga förändringar så som att renovera befintliga byggnader på ett miljösmart sätt kan energi- och miljöbesparingar göras med mer eller mindre enkla medel. I denna studie, som initierades av Trelleborgs Energi AB, undersöktes hur deras kontorsbyggnad kunde bli så innovativ, hållbar och energieffektiv som möjligt. SThe construction industry is responsible for 33% of Sweden’s annual energy consumption. Important environmental and energy savings can be done by renovating already existing buildings with a climate smart mindset. This study was executed on behalf of Trelleborg Energi AB to investigate how their office building can become as innovative, sustainable and energy efficient as possible. The study was a
