Digitaliseringen inom hälso- och sjukvårdsområdet i form av till exempel hälsoapplikationer gör det möjligt för patienter och personal att ha kontakt och kommunicera digitalt med varandra (WHO, 2011). itACiH är ett digitalt system där patie
Background: More women in reproductive ages are entering occupations where exposure to whole body vibrations (WBV) is common (e.g. in transportation and construction). Previous studies based on self-assessed exposure suggest increased risks of adverse birth outcomes, but it is unclear at what exposure levels and if the current exposure guidelines are appropriate during pregnancy. Objectives: To in
This thesis examines the transmission mechanism of indexed bonds and loans in comparison to nominal bonds in the context of Iceland's monetary policy. The study analyses the effectiveness of indexed bonds and loans in transmitting monetary policy, in the form of the policy rate, and their impact on the economy by using a VAR model.

This master's thesis aims to analyze how bordering, solidarity and grievability are expressed in the participants' commitment with detainees in detention. Furthermore, the essay captures stories about everyday experiences of what it means to be involved in non-profit organizations or activist networks that are active in Swedish detention centers. It is of interest to study how the deprivat
Denna uppsats utreder hur finansiella produkter klassificeras i inkomstslaget kapital, och vilka skatterättsliga skillnader som finns mellan de olika kategorierna i inkomstslaget. Utifrån praxis och inkomstskattelagens systematik redogörs för hur en avyttring av kryptovalutan Bitcoin ska klassificeras och beskattas. Gällande rätt analyseras sedan mot bakgrund av principen om likformighet och skattThis paper examines how financial products are classified within the capital gains bracket and which tax differences follow from such classification. Based on practice and the methodology of the Income tax act, the paper describes how a divestment of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin should be classified and taxed. The result is thereafter analyzed from the perspective of the principle of uniformity and
The purpose of conducting this study was to analyze how forced expropriations and the demolitions of informal settlements could fall under the umbrella of “climate change adaptation” measures. Using an actor-network lens and translation theory, these translations are systematically broken down between three distinct levels: global discourse, national discourse, and implementation. As the idea of a
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

Historically, animals have been excluded from the realms of political theory and political science. The underpinning disposition of this thesis is that animals belong in politics, considering it is the political processes and ideologies that determine our treatment of animals. The European Union started to legislate on the protection and welfare of farm animals during the 1970s. Over time, a slow
Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) arise from fluctuations in Earths magnetic field and can reach alarmingly high levels and cause malfunctions or blackouts in the power grids in which they occur. AF Klercker Alaküla and Lindahl invented a patented GIC immune transformer which eliminates the effects of GICs, though it is not known how this implementation will affect the transformers behavior
Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc
An emerging tool within public relations is the use of bloggers as spokespersons because of their ability to act as influencers. This study investigates how fashion bloggers present products and services they receive from companies in their blogs.

The purpose of this study is to explore whether communicating the liabilities of newness can justify young ventures’ offshoring decisions to such an extent that it moderates country-of-origin (COO) effects. We adjust the established concept of COO effects to the entrepreneurial context and therefore include the country of ownership (CO) instead of the country of design (CD) next to the commonly us
Recent studies focusing on the analysis of emissions embodied in trade have shown that high-income countries are increasingly becoming net importers of emissions. This is commonly explained by the economies’ changing trade specialization in heavy and light industrial goods. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and compare the trade specialization patterns of twelve Anglophone and Nordic co
Vetevendosje is a Kosovo-Albanian social movement which main political demand is self-determination. Social movements most commonly disappear or get institutionalized when reaching their political aim. What is interesting is that Vetevendosje did not follow this pattern. Even though the prime minister of Kosovo declared independence on the 17th of February in 2008, Vetevendosje is still alive and
