Scandinavian petroglyphs have given rise to vivid interpretations, often related to Old Norse religion and Indo‐European mythology. However, we still do not know if, how or to what extent these images are really telling stories. In this paper, we shall analyse the ways in which Scandinavian northern and southern traditions (in Alta, Northern Norway and in Norrköping, Middle Sweden, respectively) d
A water jet is a propulsion system for vessels. The principle of water jet is to admit water into the hull, then add head to the water via the impeller and then let the water go through a guide vane package and then discharge it at the stern. The reaction force will bring the vessel into motion.
KaMeWa Group, a Vickers company who manufactures water jet propulsion systems, initiated the work.
Uppsatsen centrerar kring två aktuella frågor: anklagelser om sexuella övergrepp i FN:s fredsbevarande operationer, och konstruerandet av könsroller. De specifika frågeställningarna för uppsatsen är inledningsvis vilka könsroller som konstrueras i primärmaterialet, vilket innefattar tre årliga FN-rapporter. Den andra frågeställningen syftar till att utreda huruvida den konstruerade, militära masku
The principal aims of the present study were to examine the latent heat stress relieving capacity of drinking buttermilk and to observe the human gut microbiota in hot occupational condition. A human crossover intervention study with 12 volunteers was studied, each of them performed 3 hours of physical work in a heat chamber. During the working period, the volunteers were given buttermilk, water o
Large district heating networks often have a complex structure that requires iterative calculations to determine the flow distribution throughout the network. This Master’s thesis describes a piece of software implementing methods and data structures to determine and present the flow distribution and pressure state in such district heating networks. The purpose of the thesis work was to create a t
Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka anknytning hos en grupp barn i mellanbarndo- men som lever växelvis, och vad de berättar om sina relationer till viktiga andra. Studien base- rades på transkriberade intervjuer (Friends and Family Interview, FFI) och berättelser (Secure Base Script Test, SBST) från två tidigare studier, där barn som levde växelvis (n = 20) valdes ut. Materialet kodadeThis pilot study examined attachment of a group children in middle childhood living with joint custody, also what they say about their relationships with significant others. The study was based on the transcribed interviews (Friends and Family Interview, FFI) and stories (Secure Base Script Test, SBST) from two previous studies. Children living with joint custody (n = 20) were selected. Material w

More than half of the world's population today lives in urban areas, and the relationship between the city and the sea has always played a central role. Studies show that access to waterfront environments in port cities historically been limited, but as urban development progresses, the coastline is gaining increasing significance in the urban context. This presents both opportunities and chal
Recently, the media has brought attention to the Adam case, a young boy who was taken into compulsory care by social services in Helsingborg amid false allegations from his mother and other parties. This study aims to analyze how the media frames social services, in this case, and how different parts are given voice in the media coverage. A qualitative content analysis was performed on news articl
This paper analyzes Chinese aid allocation from 2013 to 2021 and compares it to traditional as well as emerging donors. In 2013, China launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) which is considered one of China’s most ambitious development initiatives in the 21st century. To explore how the BRI reshaped China’s motives for aid allocation, I employ a two-part model to explain not only which countr
Fueled by rapid advancements and widespread adoption, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming how Design Thinking (DT) is applied in entrepreneurship. While DT is a well-established human-centered innovation framework, the integration of AI in its practical application, along with the emerging challenges and adaptive strategies, remains underexplored. To address this gap, a qualitative resear
Denna uppsats undersöker hur mödrar som arbetstagare, omsorg och jämställdhet konstrueras i EU:s politik för balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet är att bidra till en djupare förståelse för hur institutionella visioner om jämställdhet formas och vad de inkluderar respektive utesluter. Analysen fokuserar på två centrala policydokument: Arbetslivsbalansdirektiv från 2019 och Kommissionens initThis thesis explores how mothers as workers, care, and gender equality are constructed in EU work-life balance policy. The aim is to contribute to a deeper understanding of how institutional visions of equality are constructed and what they include or exclude. The analysis focuses on two central policy documents: the 2019 Work-Life Balance Directive and the 2017 Commission initiative on work-life
Abstract: The Philippines stands as a global outlier, alongside the Vatican City, to still prohibit divorce, while conversely allowing the dissolution of marriage. In such a unique contemporary setting, this research aims to explore how women navigate themselves within the dichotomous private and public spheres. Specifically, how their career trajectories are shaped by cultural norms and strict le
This thesis examines the extent to which Indigenous and local communities are able to meaningfully participate in the governance of the Oxapampa-Ashaninka-Yanesha Biosphere Reserve (BIOAY). Peru is a mega-diverse country and has eight Biosphere Reserves, which operate through a multilevel governance model that prioritizes Indigenous and local participation for successful sustainable development ou
Oh dear god, how can something so simple become this hard? It’s just a house, I’ve lived in houses before, my entire life actually. But now I’m the one who’s designing it, for me and my family. All of a sudden, this fundamental thing of living and creating a home gets all rusty with the patina of pressure. I can’t oversee anything, I can’t take things for granted. Now, it’s time to decide, or shou
Data confidentiality and security in cloud computing is a major concern for both service providers and users. The industry’s approach to enhancing trust and data security is to provide Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) as secure and encrypted instances within Central Processing Units (CPUs) to execute and process user data in cloud environments. However, this approach raises issues and practic
In order to meet its carbon targets, the UK must address the decarbonisation of the currently fossil-fuel dependent system of heating. Buildings and heat strategy at the national level has been insufficient in combatting this issue, and it is increasingly suggested that more local and regional approaches will be needed to accelerate the transition to low carbon heating. There is scope for furt
In mid 90’s, productivity growth rate started to accelerate in the USA. The sources of this resurgence were the IT-producing industry and the IT-using market services. Meanwhile, Europe was still suffering from the low level of productivity growth rates. This fact leads to pessimistic assessments about the economic future of Europe. However, this paper uncovers that productivity growth rate starte
The purpose of this master thesis is to examine in which way dividend policies are affected by managers strive for financial flexibility in listed Swedish firms. The underlying reason for the thesis is to attain a broader knowledge regarding dividend policies. Since present theories do not provide a satisfactory explanation or are not satisfactory tested, we find it relevant to perform a study wit
