This thesis is a critical reflection on the metanarratives that are often employed to describe ‘Nordic exceptionality’. In particular, this thesis will look into the anniversary project of ‘Finland100’ as an example of these narratives and approach it as a political project that promises belonging. Narratives surrounding the anniversary will be discussed through a deconstructive narrative reading,
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att undersöka hur patienter med traumarelaterad diagnos eller depression beskriver upplevelser och erfarenheter av självupplevda trauman för att få en bättre uppfattning om trauma som fenomen. Generellt beskrivs trauma som ett tydligt fenomen, som avskiljs från naturliga händelser i livet och som innefattar både subjektiva reaktioner och långvariga konsekvens
The expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric
The idea of integration has varied during different periods of time. The purpose with this study was to examine the meaning of integration in a specific “integration project”. How are the ambitions put into practice in a specific project? How is “good” integration defined? How is the education for the participants of the project organized in order to lead to the goal: to earn one’s living. These q
Biotechnology has been regarded as the problem child of modern Patent Law for a long time. The legislation concerning biotechnology is in constant fluctuation, changing as the case law constantly develops. This leads up to uncertainty regarding what is to be considered as patentable, and what is not. Even today, no stable solution has been found. Furthermore, ethical concerns are given a place w
With the ever increasing security and privacy threats on the Internet, it is of critical importance to find a way to alleviate these negative effects to our society. The objective behind this bachelor’s thesis is to survey what kinds of threats exist, which our society is more prone to, and how to help people to use internet in a secure way. A system is then to be developed which will help allevia
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att få fördjupad förståelse för hur ungdomar mentaliserar kring sig själva, andra och sina relationer på sociala medier, i relation till deras reella sammanhang. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med 13 tonåringar som hade fyllt eller skulle fylla 16 år. Intervjuerna analyserades med tematisk analys där nio teman urskildes. Resultaten visar att det inte gårThe aim of this study was to gain an understanding of the manner in which teenagers mentalize themselves, others and their relationships on social media in relation to their real context. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 teenagers the ages 15-16 years. The interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis procedure and nine themes were identified. The result indicates that interact
This essay investigates if attitudes to equality work among the administrative managers of Landskrona city can be altered through participating a seminar day on equality, multitude and discrimination. A questionnaire about the equality work in the municipality was sent out the administrative managers before the seminar day, and thereafter followed up by interviews. Through these interviews, leanin
Part I of the dissertation examines the cognitive aspects of autonomy. The central question concerns what kind of cognitive capacity autonomy is. It will be argued that the concept of autonomy is best understood in terms of a metacognitive capacity of the individual. It is argued that metacognition has two components: procedural reflexivity and metarepresentation. Metarepresentation in turn can be
Background: Anemia is common in elderly people and especially in nursing home residents. Few studies have been performed on the consequences of anemia in a nursing home population. This study explored the prevalence of anemia in nursing homes in Sweden, including risk factors and mortality associated with anemia or hemoglobin (Hb) decline. Methods: Three hundred ninety patients from 12 nursing hom
There is no a priori reason to suppose that price-setting behaviour is homogeneous across sectors and countries. Aggregate data are, however, commonly used to estimate the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC), which may very well yield erroneous results if price-setting behaviour is heterogeneous. In this paper, we therefore estimate the hybrid NKPC for the Euro Area using a novel sectoral data set
Biomolecular solutions and amphiphilic liquid crystals are studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Dispersion (NMRD) and Pulsed-Gradient Spin Echo (PGSE) respectively. A random-flight simulation is performed to obtain the obstructing factors for self-diffusion of small molecules in macrofluids. The accuracy of existing mean-field approximations for the obstruction factors is analyzed. The orientatio
This paper explores how vehicle speeds are related to equitable, environmental and economic sustainability of urban areas. This relationship is manifested primarily through an association between vehicle speeds and road crash casualties, severity of pedestrian crashes, generation of harmful emissions, and relative desirability of neighboring land. Reported research findings describing each of thes
How should the development of creativity be approached? Many accounts of children’s creativity focus on the relation between creativity and pretend play, placing make-believe and the mental exploration of possible scenarios about the world at the fore. Often divergent thinking and story-telling are used to measure creativity with fluency, originality, and flexibility as indicators. I will argue th
Solutions of n-nonyl-beta-D-glucoside (C(9)G(1)), n-decyl-beta-D-glucoside (C(10)G(1)), n-dodecyl-beta-D-maltoside (C(12)G(2)) n-tetradecyl-beta-D-maltoside (C(14)G(2)) and C(9)G(1)/C(10)G(1) mixtures have been characterised by capillary viscometry and rheology in H2O and D2O, in order to map the influence of surfactant characteristics on micellisation over a wide concentration range. For the malt
The present study aimed to explore secondary school students' needs in relation to sexual and reproductive health in order to inform efforts to improve the quality of health services available to young people. The study involved data collection from 716 11-22-year-old students in four secondary schools in an urban area in Zambia. Students completed a questionnaire and were invited to write down an
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is one of our most common cancer syndromes and an increasing number of individuals live in families with verified hereditary cancer. We conducted an interview study to explore experiences from and perceived impact on life after genetic testing for HNPCC. Three major themes emerged: reactions and emotions, family relations and implications for life
Popular Abstract in Swedish Offentlig upphandling blir alltmer intressant och relevant som ämnesområde då dess sanna ekonomiska värde och potentiella inverkan på marknader - genom köpkraft – uppdagas. Det har dessutom blivit ett relevant område för hållbarhetsdiskursen då man har kommit att inse möjligheten att ställa miljökrav inom ramen för den offentliga upphandlingen, samt miljöanpassa upphandIn Sociology of Law the discussions about regulation have been extensive and the issue of public procurement is gaining momentum as its true financial value and potential to impact markets are realised. This thesis aims to look at the regulation of green public procurement (GPP) by analysing findings from an in-depth case study in a Swedish context, using interviews with procurement officers as we
Electronic properties of dye-sensitized semiconductor nanocrystals, consisting of perylene (Pe) chromophores attached to 2 nm TiO2 nanocrystals via different anchor-cum-spacer groups, have been studied theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) cluster calculations. Approximate effective electronic coupling strengths for the heterogeneous electron-transfer interaction have been extracted
