By applying a critical understanding of empowerment, this study explores the power relations in women’s daily lives through their experience with a mentorship program called Carpe Sophia and analyzes whether or to what extent this program has an impact on women’s empowerment that can bring about gender equality. Carpe Sophia is a women’s economic empowerment program with an aim to increase employm
Syftet med uppsatsen är att med en textsociologisk analys undersöka vilka tidskrifter och tidningar som finns i Carlskrona Läsesällskap (1794-1863), Åbo Läsesällskap (1798-1823) och Lunds Akademiska Läsesällskap (1812-1831), samt att undersöka orsakerna till läsesällskapens försvinnande. Inledningsvis beskrivs vad som är karaktäristiskt med den här typen av läsesällskap. För att nå målet med studi
Sweden is facing a sociocultural movement through high waves of immigration and it is more important than ever to address issues related to ethnic diversity. This research set out to study diversity from an ethnic lens by exploring and understanding what challenges students with an immigrant background experience in Sweden, and how their ethnic identities are affected by these difficulties. Using
This study explores the concept of an individual purpose, aiming to give an answer to the question of why we work. By giving an in depth, real life example of a sustainable company, a Swedish coffee roastery, we aim to uncover why it is people work there and how this interacts with the corporate purpose. By conducting a qualitative study of the link between individual and corporate purpose within
The paper examines the effect of the economic crisis of 2008 on factors influencing business cycle synchronization, namely trade intensity, financial integration and difference in economic structure. Using fixed effect regression models, I find that financial integration has a robust positive effect on business cycle synchronization, which is stronger among countries members of the European Moneta
After the economic crisis that shook large parts of the EU in the end of the 2000, a new paradigm has emerged that encourage new sustainable business models. Two concepts that has occurred in recent times are circular economy and sharing economy. Because of increased interest in the concepts it’s important to understand the full meaning surrounding these. The aim of this study is divided into thr
Den här uppsatsen undersökte vilka variabler som påverkar lån utfärdade på P2P-lånsplattformen Bondoras sannolikhet att gå i fallissemang. Tidigare har forskning visat att ett behov hos långivare finns om att bättre kunna använda information om låntagare för att förutse fallissemang. Genom regressionsanalys har uppsatsen identifierat olika variabler som kan förklara sannolikheten för fallissemang.
Antibody microarray is a tool used for protein expression profiling that takes advantage of the high specificity of antibodies. The tool has numerous of potential applications, such as detection of disease biomarkers, but also has some potential limitations that must be considered. Variations in antibody activity between different production batches and altered analyte levels in samples due to imp
The equivalence of the sine-Gordon model and the massive Thirring model, (1+1) dimensional theories of a single scalar field respectively a single Dirac field, is derived by two alternative approaches. The equivalence is derived by a comparison of the perturbation expansions of the correlation functions of the theories around the corresponding massless theories. The alternative derivation of the e
Bakgrund: Intensivvårdsambulansen används för att flytta intensivvårdspatienter mellan olika sjukhus. Behovet har ökat de senaste tio åren och det är känt att det finns risker associerade med transporter. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av intensivvårdspatienter i en intensivvårdsambulans. Metod: En kvalitativ design med data inhämtad via nio semistrukturerade in
This thesis project is a reconsideration of the Red Sands Forts in Thames Estuary, offshore from London. This happens through the proposal of a bio-lighting tubed net connecting the different towers of the famous old towers left from the second world war. The project deals with the past, actual and different future interpretations of the projects falling onto these structures, showing several inte
The star, HD 207832, has two Jupiter-like planets on orbits with poorly constrained eccentricities. The eccentricities are 0.27 +0.22 -0.10 and 0.13$^{+0.18}_{-0.05}$ respectively. Notably, the two sigma error allows eccentricities up to 0.71 for one of the planets. Due to the large error bars, one aim of this project is to refine them. This is done by simulating the system for different initial e
Today exploitation of the sea is a common phenomenon, for example we trawl and dredge the sea, which affect the marine ecosystems and consequently marine protection is important for preserving of marine populations. At present, in Sweden there are 71 marine reserves and one marine national park to preserve the marine populations. The objective of this study was to analyse, with the perspectives fr
Biodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo
Purpose - To investigate if the forensic accounting education offered by universities provides the knowledge and skills that are required by the forensic accounting profession. Methodology - First, a qualitative content analysis of curriculums, with a mix between a deductive and inductive approach, is conducted. Second, an inductive quantitative content analysis of job advertisements is administe
The relationship between the indoor environment and health is complex as people in modern societies spend more than 90% of their time indoors. Long -time and follow-up assessment of indoor environmental quality is important in reference to the health and wellbeing of those who occupy space within it. Physical factors such as temperature, air drag, noise and lighting affect our health and well-bein
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda have paid a higher degree of attention to the gaps in implementation and lack of financing that have characterized the agenda since the adoption of UNSCR 1325 in 2000. This development has also included more attention given to implementation through civil society organizations, and the establishment of a new financing instrument – Global
The aim of this dissertation in the field of Sociology of Law, is to investigate how much participation patients of involuntary treatment have in judicial decisions about their care. This investigation was prompted after reading a recent proposition from the department of health in Sweden, that suggested that the laws of involuntary treatment (LPT) were changed to allow the affected patients more
