The aim of this study was to describe and analyze how parents relate to their children’s internet use. Studies have shown that children nine years and older have increased access to private tablets and smartphones, leading to unsupervised online opportunities. With increased use, parents must take responsibility to protect their children from risks associated with the internet. We have examined; 1
This report describes a part of the product development process for a mechanical adjustment of the head pressure in an extruder at Tetra Pak. The pressure is adjusted by a valve that increases or decreases the pressure by moving a valve stem. In the current solution the valve stem is moved by hand, which will no longer be effective when Tetra Pak streamlines the extruder. The project also includes
This thesis takes as its point of departure Wale Wale Kenya - an NGO located in Kibera, Nairobi that has been created by a group of youths from the Kibera slums. It is unusual in being founded, run and controlled by a group who are beneficiaries of many projects, but seldom owns the NGOs that initiate those projects.

Author: Matilda Månsson Title: The examined woman [translated title] Supervisor: Lupita Svensson Assessor: Janicke Andersson The debate about rape against women has been active in Sweden for many years. For instance there have been some criticisms that only a few women choose to report the crime to the police, and how the woman as a victim is treated during the legal action. The purpose of this e
Cities will contain 70% of global populations by 2050, signalling the need to pursue solution-oriented approaches for sustainability challenges. Urban Living Labs are emerging as solution-based interventions, and share commonalities with efforts of sustainability science to broaden research for societal change alongside various actor sets. Currently there is a recognised lack of dedicated research
I denna kandidatuppsats lyfter vi föräldraförsäkringen, samt de konsekvenser som möjligtvis kan uppstå som följd av en framtida kvotering av denna. Vidare diskuterar vi uttaget av föräldrapenningdagar och vilka faktorer som är med och påverkar uttaget. Utifrån tillgänglig statistik har vi skapat egna tabeller för att belysa de skillnader som finns i statistiken, men som inte illustreras på ett til
State Aid is prohibited according to European Union legislation since it has possible distortive effects on competition. Nevertheless, Member States intervene in the economy and play an important role in the full functioning and development of the economy and society. The European Commission investigates potential State Aid measures by comparing the behaviour of the State with the behaviour of a h
Finding sustainable alternatives to the current degrading activities associated with metal mining and production is essential in order to meet increased resource demand and stricter environmental regulations. One option that recently has gained interest is to recover metals from fly ash, which is produced when incinerating municipal solid waste. As of today, metal resources in fly ash are not util
The aim of the study is to show examples of how caregivers in Sweden gives persons with substance abuse good, fair treatment.

The already stigmatized and shunned group of drug users become even more m
Solar Assisted Pervaporation (SAP) is a novel technique of preservation that combines the concept of membrane separation and the use of solar energy. The method uses a ‘breathable pouch’ with an active layer of a food-grade hydrophilic membrane. The aim of this study was to understand how different drying temperatures (50oC and 60oC), air exclusion treatment (with and without vacuum) and type of
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to uncover what motivational factors exists for companies to use co-creational methods.

The main research question is “What motivates companies to use customer co-creation a
Bakgrund: Varje år utförs sexton biljoner nålrelaterade medicinska åtgärder världen över. Det är vanligt att barn upplever rädsla och smärta vid nämnda procedurer vilket kan leda till att dem undviker sjukvården i framtiden. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien är att undersöka vilka icke-farmakologiska strategier sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av för att lindra oro och smärta hos barn, i åldrarna
Freshwater, obligate aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus strain CB2 is able to metabolise various types of carbon sources. In this degree project, growth characterization of C.crescentus was made on different substrates including glucose, xylose, and mannose using shake-flask cultivations and bioreactor experiments. Special emphasis was put on the xylose degradation pathway, th
This thesis looks at climate change adaptation strategies in the Inner Forth region in Scotland. The region is expected to suffer from climate change induced stresses such as flooding, sea level rise and storm surges. To cope with these changes, a new coastal adaptation strategy has been suggested, based on soft solutions such as wetland creation and managed realignment. This has caused a dispute,
The primary goal of this thesis is to determine whether leveraged buyouts perceptibly affect the stock prices of core competitors of the LBO target. Through the use of an original, meticulously constructed data set, the study aims to augment the scarce and discordant extant literature on the subject. A follow-up cross-sectional test is conducted to provide further insights into the dynamics that m

Denna magisteruppsats är baserad på översättningen av ett utdrag från boken Spirited Away(2008) som är skriven av den brittiska journalisten Andrew Osmond och handlar om den japanska animerade filmen med samma namn. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys som tar avstamp i den analysmodell som presenteras av Lennart Hellspong och Per Ledin i Vägar genom texten – Handbok i brukstextanalys (1997). Te
Den mobila teknologin har frigjort kravet på fysisk närvaro i många kontor, arbete och ar-betsuppgifter ser därför annorlunda ut idag än det tidigare gjort. En fråga är hur de anställda påverkas av detta och inte minst hur de upplever mobilt samarbete. Är övergången till mobilt och flexibelt arbete något som alla föredrar eller finns det andra åsikter i frågan? Vi valde därför att undersöka hur de
