There is a growing demand for environmentally friendly food packaging. Studies and trends show that the modern consumers are willing to pay more money for food products if the packaging has lower carbon footprint. Furthermore, to be competitive, food packaging must be both visually striking and user friendly. It needs to differentiate from other multipacks and have enough shelf impact to stand out
When a↵ected by a high spinal cord injury the first wish is to regain the ability to walk. However, in a short matter of time, the wish to use the hands increases and is considered the most desired ability to recover. The injured nerves cannot be healed, but with the use of AI technology and sensors, small preserved muscle activities can be detected. The company Tendo AB has developed a gripping a

Stigma kring psykisk ohälsa är ett komplext sociokulturellt fenomen som har negativ inverkan på aktivitetsmöjligheter inom olika livsområden. Syfte: Att undersöka hur upplevelser av stigma inverkar på aktivitetsengagemang hos vuxna med erfarenhet av psykisk ohälsa. MeBackground: A prerequisite for occupational engagement is that the environment matches the individuals’ needs and conditions. Stigma surrounding mental illness is a complex sociocultural phenomenon that can impact the individuals’ occupational possibilities in different areas of life. Aim: To examine the experience of how stigma impacts the occupational engagement in adults with mental illness. Me
Food packaging has long been recognized as a potential environmental burden within the food supply chain, with packaging production and waste often considered as key contributors to the overall environmental impact. However, there is a growing recognition of the need for a more holistic approach to assess the environmental performance of food packaging, taking into account various factors that inf
Using data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey on smoking behaviors for roughly 440,000 European youths over the years 2001-2018, we show that a one euro increase in cigarette excise taxes reduces smoking prevalence (share of children who has smoked) by 2 percentage points using a two-way fixed effects model. This translates to a participation elasticity of -0.1, implying yout
Uppsatsen ägnar sig åt att undersöka de rättsliga möjligheterna för barnmorskor att utöva samvetsfrihet i samband med abortingrepp. I motsats till många europeiska länder saknar Sverige en lagstiftning som reglerar samvetsklausuler inom abortvården. För att undersöka barnmorskors rättsliga stöd för samvetsfrihet i yrkeslivet granskas relevanta rättskällor såsom regeringsformen, diskrimineringslageThe thesis examines the legal possibilities for midwives to exercise conscientious objection in relation to abortion procedures. Unlike many European countries, Sweden lacks legislation regulating conscientious clauses in abortion care. To explore the legal support for midwives' conscientious objection in their professional life, relevant legal sources such as the Constitution, Discrimination

The exact solution to a set of equations modeling the event-triggered control of a multi-agent system is derived and computed up to a specified error on the time between events. An attempt to minimize the number of events of the solution subject to bounds on overshoot and convergence time is made using a differential evolution method. Parameter points which result in a low number of events of the
The drinking water infrastructure is among our most critical infrastructures and hence it is important for society to secure. Today, there is a lot of critical infrastructures that are dependent on different conditions to uphold its functionality. These critical infrastructures are often interdependent as well. This Master Thesis aims to examine how the preparedness within the Swedish drinking wat
CO oxidation over Pd(100) is studied with ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). Cyclic gas composition pulsing of the CO:O2 ratio, combined with a new method using software based event-averaging by image recognition over many pulses, is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio substantially. Hereby, it becomes possible to follow the dynamics of Pd(100) restructuring between a
types of B-cell lymphomas. However, the role of MYC in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a clinically diverse and incurable disease, needs to be further elucidated. The aim of this study is to evaluate MYC mRNA deregulation and explore the mechanism behind PLK-1 induced cell death, as a target for MYC-driven MCL. To achieve this, RNAscope® is used to detect and quantify MYC mRNA expression in a populati
A crucial yet unanswered question in the entrepreneurial domain is why men tend to receive more venture capital funding than women. As venture capitalists act as critical gatekeepers who ultimately decide whose ideas, innovations, and products will get a fair chance (Chilazi, 2019), female entrepreneurs have a lower chance of succeeding with their high-growth ventures. This research aims to furthe
This paper examines the effect a membership in the EMU would have on the Swedish economy. This is done by using the synthetic control method where a synthetical Sweden is created and compared with actual Sweden. Synthetic Sweden is created by 11 donor pool countries, which are the 11 countries that joined the EMU in 1999. Using GDP per capita and Export as a percentage of GDP as dependent variable
Denna uppsats behandlar de tre rekvisiten stipulerade i inkomstskattelagen som behöver vara uppfyllda för att ett företag skatterättsligt skall konstituera ett investmentföretag. Bedömningen gällande huruvida ett företag uppfyller ett, eller flera, av rekvisiten för investmentföretagsstatus har dock inte alltid visat sig vara oproblematisk i praktiken. Uppsatsens syfte är således dels att redogöraThis essay deals with the three necessary conditions, stipulated in the Swedish Income Tax Act (“Inkomstskattelagen”), needed to be met in order for a company to be able to constitute an investment company. However, determining whether an entity satisfies one or more of the criteria for investment company status has not always proved to be unproblematic in practice. The purpose of the essay is thu

The aim of this study is to examine different subjective income levels perceptions of security in relation to intelligent camera surveillance. The police argue that the intelligent surveillance cameras will increase the experience of feeling secure. Camera surveillance was a controversial practice even before the implementation of AI and its implementation means that "smart" functions ca
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. The profession is characterized by a certain ambiguity, as it rarely involves demand on higher education, cert

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
