The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain how meal-box, as a digital device designed to assist households in carrying out eating practices, reconfigure household practices and enable specific behavioural activities, including sustainability. Taking a socio-material and practice theory approach and drawing on an ethnographic study of three meal-box providers – The Seasons, Hello Fresh and L

This thesis addresses the complexities of the situation of the Roma in Romania and Spain and the challenges of including isolated groups in society. The main texts used for comparison come from the Council of Europe’s expert bodies: the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), the Advisory Committee (ACFC) under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (

Behandling av personuppgifter, vilket undersöks i denna uppsats, sker i den offentliga och privata sektorn, och i organisationer av alla storlekar. Personuppgiftsbehandlingar förekommer i varje gren av en organisation och hos alla olika aktörer, inom så spridda områden som rättsväsendet eller en frisörsalong. Mer specifikt syftar denna uppsats till att studera definitionen av "behandling"Personal data processing, as will be examined in this thesis, occurs in the public and the private sectors, in organisations of every size. It occurs in every branch of an organisation and by all different actors, be it law-enforcement or a hairdresser saloon. More specifically this thesis aims to study the definition of ‘processing’ and attempts to highlight the features and characterisation of i

This paper investigates the spillover effects of siblings growing up with a brother or sister diagnosed with a chronic disease. I focus on the effect of having a sibling diagnosed with low birth weight on outcomes measuring educational attainment and achievement. The empirical analysis draws on data from the ’NLSY79 Child and Youth Survey’ and I find evidence of a significant negative effect on th

Generation Z [Gen Z] har till skillnad från tidigare generationer ett behov att bli förstådda av företag för att ha en positiv inställning till deras kommunikation. Detta, kombinerat med en mer komplex tid att hantera en digital kundupplevelse, gör det svårt för företag att nå ut till målgruppen på sociala medier. Denna studie syftar därav till att gå på djupet för att förstå hur Gen Z uppfattar fGeneration Z [Gen Z], unlike previous generations, has a need to be understood by companies in order to have a positive attitude towards their communication. This, combined with a more complex time managing a digital customer experience, makes it difficult for companies to reach the target audience on social media. This study therefore aims to go in depth to understand how Gen Z perceives companie

This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi

With the use of articles, reports and academic literature, I have analyzed the significant role civil society played during, and after, the Tunisian revolution in 2011. The purpose of this essay has been to understand the underlying social distress, under which Tunisians had lived in many years, and how this came to result in a contagious revolution that marked the start of the Arab Spring. The re

Following World War Two emigration from Central and Eastern Europe, in particular, has grown in spite of increasingly strict border controls. Given this rise in migration pressure from the East during a strictly regulated period, the 2004 EU enlargement of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia threatened to transform the migration landsc

Previous research highlights the impact of care and treatment in ICUs on the patient recovery process and wellbeing. However, little is known about how the interior design in the ICU settings may affect patients' wellbeing. Objective: The aim of this study is, by using a lifeworld perspective, to reveal the meanings of the ICU settings as a place of care. Design: Nine patients from three ICUs in S

Eligibility criteria for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) vary according to disease characteristics, response to treatment, and type of available donor. As the risk profile of the patient worsens, a wider degree of HLA mismatching is considered acceptable. A total of 138 children and adolescents who underwent HSCT from HLA-identical sibling donor

A study of crack propagation paths in the situation where the crack is suppressed to open during growth due to high compressive forces has been performed. This problem was analyzed theoretically very recently by the authors and is here extended to involve a limited number of illustrative experimental results reported elsewhere in the literature. By analyzing the experimental crack growth patterns,

A search for a right-handed gauge boson WR, decaying into a boosted right-handed heavy neutrino NR, in the framework of Left-Right Symmetric Models is presented. It is based on data from proton–proton collisions with a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 80 fb

The double compression-expansion engine concepts (DCEE) are split-cycle concepts where the compression, combustion, expansion and gas exchange strokes occur in two or more different cylinders. Previous simulation studies reveal there is a potential to improve brake efficiency with these engine concepts due to improved thermodynamic and mechanical efficiencies. As a continuation of this project thi

Background: Variation in the incidence, survival rate and factors associated with survival after cardiac arrest in Europe is reported. Some studies have tried to fill the knowledge gap regarding the epidemiology of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Europe but were unable to identify reasons for the reported differences. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe European Emergency Medica

We demonstrate a tool for identifying, prioritizing and evaluating vulnerabilities in software. The tool aims to improve security in products by making maintenance more efficient and robust. Software components and release versions are matched with vulnerability information from open resources. The results are visualized on several different levels, ranging from product portfolio and individual pr

A 2-year-old boy underwent an uneventful transanal endorectal pull-through for Hirschsprung's disease. Postoperatively he suffered from pneumaturia which prompted surgical evaluation. He was found to have a rectum to seminal vesicle fistula. He was re-operated closing the fistula through an anterior transperineal approach with a successful operative outcome.
