Denna kvalitativa studies syfte har varit att lyfta fram och belysa personnamnets betydelse för individen och den egna identiteten inom två olika generationer. Undersökningens frågeställ-ningar har använts för att utveckla kunskapen om vilken betydelse personnamnet har för olika individer och deras identitet, samt om olika generationer ser olika på dess betydelse. Uppsatsen bygger på tidigare nati

Political ecology research has been prone to link conservation efforts and development programmes with structural relations such as neoliberal political economy. This thesis argues that this linkage is a too simplistic judgment and that more nuanced contextual understandings of the impacts of conservation programmes are needed. It does this by contextualizing the links between international conser

Haematopoietic stem cells are the source of all blood components including T-cells. When the T-cell programme is initiated in these cells, the expression of T-cell associated genes such as TCF7 is up-regulated, while genes opposing this fate are turned off. Subsequently, epigenetic marks on the gene BCL11B and its regulatory elements, disabling the expression of the gene, are removed and the trans

Parkinson's disease is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases, and stem cell therapy can be used to reduce patient's symptoms. In this therapy, dopamine producing neurons are transplanted into the patient's brain, after being derived from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). To understand current protocols for this process and to find new ones, it is necessary to understand the ge

I den feministiska utopin är vi alla jämlika och styr samhället på bredden snarare än från toppen. Men påverkan från samhällets hierarkiska och prestationskrävande strukturer gör att det är svårare att arbeta fritt från hierarkin. Med etnografins hjälp undersöker Johansson hur den platta organisationsstrukturen i relation till normer och (samhällets) maktordningar verkar. Med deltagande observatio

Volunteer and service user organizations play an important role in order to meet the needs of marginalized people in Sweden. These organizations operate within civil society and are characterized by experiential knowledge and peer support. The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain knowledge on how a service user organization can organize their work as a means to offer support to marginaliz

Övergödning är ett pågående problem i Östersjön och tas upp i bland annat the Baltic Sea Action Plan och inom ramen för Sveriges miljömål. Övergödningen beror på tillförsel av näringsämnen som kväve och fosfor, vilka når havet från flera olika källor. Dels från punktkällor som industriutsläpp och dels från mer diffusa källor som förbränning av fossila bränslen, skogsbruk och jordbruk. Från jordbruEutrophication is an ongoing problem in the Baltic Sea and is therefore found as a topic of the Baltic Sea Action Plan as well as the environmental goals of Sweden. One source to eutrophication is the leakage of phosphorus from agricultural lands. This study was aimed to map risk areas of phosphorus leakage from surface runoff in a catchment located in the southern parts of Sege river, Scania. The

Varför slänger vi hela saker? I en tid där shopping på IKEA är ett stående helgnöje och soffkuddar byts ut med varje ny inredningssäsong växer sig trots allt ett intresse för en mer hållbar ekonomi och en miljövänligare livsstil större. Att skifta dagens resurskrävande och avfallsproducerande ekonomi till vad som brukar kallas en cirkulär ekonomi är en möjlig lösning för att möta den växande popIn a circular economy all materials and resources should be used for as long as possible, therefore waste management is a crucial part. This study aims to map the reasons behind how people chose to handle things they no longer want. By con- ducting interviews with 91 respondents at the two recycling centres in Lund; Gastelyckan and Gunnesbo, some general reasons were discovered. By interview- ing

The purpose of this paper is to investigate banking stability in countries where Negative Interest Rate Policies (NIRPs) are implemented, then study this stability by examining the relationships between policy interest rates and indicators of not only banking profitability but also capital adequacy, asset quality, and liquidity. The dataset used are the Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs) collec

This thesis investigates the Finnish government’s and its agents’ discursive justifications for the recently proposed civil and military intelligence legislation. In order to analyse the Finnish governmental agents’ discursive practices, this thesis engages with two additional questions; how are threats to Finnish security constructed in media, and how is the concept of exceptionalism constructed

First and foremost, e-leadership is leadership virtually performed. The aim with this master thesis is to analyze how e-leadership is experienced by the followers. The study is qualitative with focus on interviews to test the theoretical concepts existing already. First, the findings from the review of academic literature in the field is summarized in a theoretical framework, which explains how th

Improving and solving issues related to disadvantaged neighbourhoods have for decades been a concern for politicians, researchers, and professionals in Denmark as well as internationally. Recently, the concept of social mix has been very popular as a vision of development within planning practices and political strategies to develop disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This thesis investigates the academ

Transistors are used in all digital devices today. The demand of faster and smaller devices such as mobile telephones and computers constantly drives the develop- ment of smaller transistor technologies. Transistors can also be used in analog applications. Today there are commercial chips with both radio and digital sys- tems in the same package. Cellular Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to ma

Rising costs of healthcare in most OECD-countries have contributed to a quest for research into the field of healthcare costs and efficiency, something that has not been free of controversies. As a result of that, healthcare financers as well as providers have become more inclined to measure performance and compare themselves to others with the same responsibilities. In Sweden, the Association of

This project addresses the problems the traditional loom has in our modern so- ciety resulting in a product that provides a new and modernized way of looking at the loom. A lighter, easier and more intuitive version that one could use even without having previous experience with weaving. Most of us have an encountered a loom in our lives, but very few have a relationship to it. As weaving is one

Innovation är ett vidkänt koncept som har fått ökad betydelse i dagens organisationer. Uppmärksamhet har framförallt riktats till de initiala faserna av innovationsprocessen, kallade Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Att hantera FFE effektivt har blivit nödvändigt i utvecklingen av nya innovativa produkter, eftersom det kan minska cykeltider och kostnader relaterat till produktutvecklingen. Det är dock svårtInnovation is a widely known concept which has received increased importance in today's organizations. Attention has especially been directed to the initial phases of the innovation process, commonly referred to as the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Managing the FFE effectively, has become essential in the development of innovative products, since it can reduce cycle times and costs related to product

This thesis was written at CellaVision who sells digital microscope systems, mainly used for blood analysis. Blood tests are an important part of modern health care and today digital microscopes are widely used to replace conventional microscopy. It is important that the digital images of blood cells are of high quality and that they look as they would in a traditional microscope. CellaVision has

The entire retail industry is facing drastic changes at the moment: topics such as personalisation and omni-channel are on each management agenda. Additionally, new retail store concepts are continually popping up, and the changing role of store associates causes concerns. In particular, physical retailers are struggling on how to reinvent the physical store by changing the store’s main purpose. T

Forces such as globalisation, digitalisation and changes in consumer behaviour have led to a discussion among practitioners as well as scholars whether the physical retail place will stay relevant or even exist in the future. One way for brick-and-mortar retailers to stay competitive is to adopt new and innovative business models and formats, alongside a focus on the customer experience and how to
