Bakgrund: Varje år insjuknar cirka 9000 kvinnor i Sverige i bröstcancer. En bröstcancerdiagnos ger upphov till en rad känslor och reaktioner, vilka kan komma att försätta den drabbade kvinnan i kris. Sjuksköterskans bemötande är av värde för kvinnan och påverkar hur hon upplever och hanterar sin nya tillvaro som sjuk individ. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka och identifiera hur kvinnor

Kommuner har en viktig roll inom kommunikation om hållbar konsumtion och avfallsminimering, de ska på lokal nivå ta fram åtgärder för att uppnå globala och nationella miljömål. Forskning inom strategisk kommunikation har en tendens att fokusera på privata företag, vilket gör att de förutsättningar som är specifika för offentlig sektor förbises. Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie undersöker hur de sp

The EU has adopted to the anti-tax avoidance package to implement the OECD action plan on Base Erosion Profit Shifting. The Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD) is a legislative element e of anti-tax avoidance package proposed by the Commission. The Directive stipulates anti-abusive rules and is designed to protect functioning of the internal market. The ATAD and its implementation has raised numbe

Global warming is a very much researched and debated topic in the current period as we can see the effects around us. The literature and discussions have pointed to a surface temperature rise of up to 10°C at the poles and around 4°C-7°C around the equator. The effect is more in the northern hemisphere than in southern hemisphere of our planet Earth. The effects of the warming of our environment o

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide an understanding of how brands relaying moral messages in their communication are perceived by consumers. Therefore, it investigates consumers’ brand meaning resulting from exposure to brands’ moral messages on social media. This thesis thereby enhances knowledge regarding the consumer perspective of moral branding and furthermore contribute

III-Sb semiconductor nanowires have drawn a lot of attention because of their many promising applications, such as thermoelectric generation, low power high efficient electronics and quantum transport. Gold as a catalyst seed particle has been dominating for many years assisting nanowires growth. However, gold is incompatible with silicon-based electronics, which is dominating today. Therefore, fi

In this thesis, the correlation between aggregated buy-/sell-pressure and price change is analyzed, something often referred to as price impact. The purpose is not only to find a model that can explain how prices change given a certain traded volume, but also to see how much of the variance in price changes results from the actual buy- or sell-pressure. Analysis is conducted on monthly trading data

The immune system is a very complex system, aimed to protect the body from the many dangers that loom around us. A well-functioning immune system can fight of most invaders, remove foreign particles that entered our bodies, and take care of dead cells. The aim in this work is seeing how the protein CD45 (also known as PTPRC, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C) is affected by salt conc

Syfte: Studien undersöker vilken information klassificering i subformer av Lindriga kognitiva symptom (MCS) och depressions- och ångestsymptom tillför den diagnostiska prediktionen av Alzheimers sjukdom (AS) för patienter med MCS. Metod: Patienterna (N = 417) var mellan 60 och 80 år och hade subjektiva och/ eller objektiva lindriga kognitiva symptom, men uppfyllde inte diagnoskriterier för demenssAims: The study investigates what information classification of Mild Cognitive Symptoms (MCS) subtype and symptoms of depression and anxiety add to the diagnostic prediction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) for MCS-patients. Method: Patients (N = 417), ranging between 60 and 80 years old, had subjective and/ or objective mild cognitive symptoms, but did not meet diagnostic criteria for dementia at

Skånemejerier has a shortage of cream and by producing a product with low amounts of fat, the shortage can be decreased. One way is to replace the fat with microparticulated whey proteins (MWP). This can be done by using a thermal treatment followed by a mechanical treatment obtained with a high-pressure homogeniser. The particles should be less than 5 μm to have a similar mouthfeel to fat particl

Network Video Door Stations are IP-based door stations for two-way communication, identification, and remote entry control. They have a number of different sensors e.g video, audio and accelerometer that can measure external data. These door stations serve multiple purposes including that of acting as a security feature and they are often exposed to malicious intent. The goal of this master thesis

Sverige står inför en framtid med demografiska utmaningar som kommer att sätta press på de offentliga finanserna. Med en ökad medellivslängd och en befolkningsstruktur där andelen äldre blir fler i relation till den arbetsföra befolkningen kommer det att leda till ett ökat tryck på pensionssystemen. Det är därför aktuellt att höja pensionsåldern för att möta denna utveckling vilket flera forskning

Förr var organisationer stillastående och producerade oftast enbart en vara eller tjänst. Nutiden är annorlunda och begrepp som flexibilitet, delaktighet och medarbetares hälsa är idag viktigt för organisationer att arbeta med. För att överleva marknaden och säkerställa en organisations framgång är det väsentligt att se förändring i arbetslivet som ett normaltillstånd. Organisationer som kan hante

While team dynamics is a heavily researched topic, the applicability within startup companies is fairly uncommon within entrepreneurship academic research. Therefore, the purpose is to analyze the application of team development theories on startups and present team development tendencies. The ambition is to provide information for entrepreneurs to consider in their new or already existing venture

This thesis explores how the workforce perceives and responds to gender diversity initiatives. While it is easy for companies to start talking about gender diversity and initiate different campaigns, it becomes challenging or even difficult to implement them in practice. In male-dominated industries gender diversity initiatives are facing different challenges and the progress remains slow. Our cas

Demonstration of entanglements of mobile electrons in solid state conductors using minimal entanglement linear witness from electrical current correlations has been given. However, detection of maximally entangled states and some mixed states is lacking if the witness is based on two cross correlation measurements only. This thesis is trying to detect them with the same number of measurements by i

Entrepreneurs in different countries and industries face many obstacles during their journey. It comes down to the entrepreneur to build strategies on how to overcome those obstacles. In this research, we focus on providing an in-depth analysis on the obstacles that Arab-immigrant entrepreneurs face in Sweden and how they overcome them. Immigrant entrepreneurship has had its fair share of research

Det här arbetet ämnar undersöka strömlinjeformade landformer i Löberöd med Lantmäteriets nya höjdmodell. Målet är att fastställa isens rörelseriktningar i området under den senaste deglaciationen. Med hjälp av höjdmodellen har drumlinernas ryggar markerats för att bestämma deras orientering i landskapet. Resultatet av detta visar tydligt tre olika isrörelseriktningar i området. RörelseriktningarnaThis work aims to investigate streamlined landforms at Löberöd by utilizing the latest elevation model produced by the Swedish national mapping agency (Lantmäteriet). The goal is to establish the ice flow direction in the area during the last deglaciation. Using the height model, the ridges of the drumlins have been marked to determine their orientation in the landscape. The data clearly suggests
