Methodology – This study was conducted following a qualitative methodology. The data was collected in seven semi-structured interviews with entrepreneurs who have made use of inexpensive marketing concepts and methods. We ana
Most of classic psychedelic literature indicate its potential benefit to society and the environment during a time of rapid environmental degradation and climate change– hinting its potential role to sustainability and socio-ecological transformation. There is virtually no study drawing the explicit interlinkages of classic psychedelic research to sustainability science but it is observed that the
Förpackningar är viktigare än vad man kan tro! De skyddar den värdefulla produkten från oönskade bakterier som kan göra att den blir dålig. För att drycken ska hålla längre så måste förpackningen behandlas för att ta bort allt som kanske kan skada personen som dricker innehållet. Man ser också till att bakterier utanför förpackningen inte kan ta sig in. Detta innebär att förpackningen är aseptisk.Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons
Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p
This thesis thesis explores what desires and motivations lay behind employees’ succession to managerial positions in a store environment. Previous research focuses on how to develop good leaders, rather than how to make people want to become leaders, which is why this is an important topic. The method used is a qualitative case study at IKEA in Sweden, where a combination of qualitative questionna
Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica
Vilka svampar renar ditt vatten? ”Renhet” kanske inte är det första ordet du kommer att tänka på när bakterier och svampar kommer på tal. Faktum är dock att dessa är viktiga i de processer som gör att ditt dricksvatten är säkert och gott. För att säkerställa dricksvattnets kvalitet används på många platser långsamfilter; bassänger fyllda med sand där många olika sorters mikroorganismer hjälper tiSlow sand filters (SSF) are biofilters which utilize the metabolic potential of complex biofilms to remove contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, organic carbon and pathogenic bacteria, from drinking water. This study presents the first analysis of fungal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in samples from two newly constructed and one established SSF, all of which underwent a removal
Its carbon sink potential as well as soil fertility benefits make organic carbon a soil variable for which reliable quantification methods are sought. This thesis work aims at investigating the possibility of adapting a large soil spectral library to build models for SOC predictions with remotely sensed, multispectral data. For this purpose, the continental-scale LUCAS topsoil database was spectra
Tidigare forskning har visat att personer som skadar sig själva tenderar att uppleva mötet med vården negativt. Vårdpersonal kan ha negativa attityder till självskadebeteende, och deras möten med patienter kan väcka känslor av frustration, uppgivenhet och oro, vilket kan påverka bemötandet. Studier har framförallt gjorts med sjuksköterskor och läkare, och i betydligt mindre omfattning med psykologPrevious research has shown how individuals who injure themselves tend to have negative experiences from their encounters with health services. Health service staff may have negative attitudes towards Non-Suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) and their encounters with patients may evoke frustration, hopelessness and worry, which may influence their behavior towards patients. Studies have mainly focused on n
Varje år kommer ett stort antal barn och ungdomar i skolålder till Sverige. De har alla rätt till utbildning enligt Skollagen och Barnkonventionen. Många av dem börjar sin skolgång i förberedelseklasser eller på Språkintroduktionsprogram. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att skapa förståelse för den betydelse dessa har för uppfyllandet av rätten till utbildning för nyanlända elever. I studien använEvery year a large number of children and youths of school-age immigrate to Sweden. They all have the right to education according to the Swedish education act and the Convention of the Rights of the Child. Many of them begin their schooling in preparatory classes or the gymnasium program "Språkintroduktion" (language introduction). The aim of this essay is to create an understanding of
Det individuella valet av diversitetsindex och dess inverkan på det konkreta bevarandet av biologisk mångfald Värden för den biologiska mångfalden i ett område kan mätas på många olika sätt. För att uppnå detta brukar forskare därför ofta använda sig av en eller flera typer av matematiska modeller i form av så kallade diversitetsindex. Då konceptet biologisk mångfald spelar en stor roll i det koAs there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori
The aim of this study was to examine how professionals working in residential care units for unaccompanied children, construct and understand integration and culture. The study was built on empirics which was the result of five semi-structured interviews held with professionals working in this field. The interviews included both professionals working in the public sector and professionals working
Mental crisis is according to Johan Cullberg (2006) a reaction pattern in which a person suffering from acute internal or external stresses which occur when one's life experiences and behaviour are not sufficient to cope with the new life situation you are in. We think that we as future social workers often can come across mental crisis in our work. As we think we don´t learn enough about ment
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Geografiska Informationssystem (GIS) är ett system för att hantera geografisk data som jämfört med traditionella forskningsmetoder gör det lättare att sammanställa och analysera dessa data. GIS började utvecklas i Nordamerika på 1960-talet och har under de senaste två decennierna haft stor påverkan på hur hanteringen av rumslig data går till. Användningsområdena Geographical Information System (GIS) is a technique that has revolutionized the way we process spatial data. The possibilities for GIS are endless and it is today used in a wide range of subject areas such as social planning, environmental monitoring and marketing. However, the process of implementing GIS is a long and usually runs in to a lot of problems. The aim of this study is to compare and
År 2005 vidgades kapitalskyddsreglerna i Aktiebolagslagen med syftet att omfatta fler situationer. Bland annat fick de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna sin egna legaldefinition, en definition som i efterhand har insetts vara onödigt svårtolkad. Denna uppsats handlar om de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna och dess begreppsdefinitions tolkningssvårigheter. Den förtäckta värdeöverföringen definieras efter In 2005, the swedish capital protection rules were expanded in the purpose to cover more situations. Among other things, the disguised value transfers got their own legal definition, a definition that has subsequently been realized to be relatively difficult to interpret. This essay deals with the disguised value transfers and the interpretation difficulties of its conceptual definition. The disgu
About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in
The research field of middle management within elderly care in Sweden is fairly unexplored. Even more so, there is little to no research on communication or communicative leadership and its influence on middle management within elderly care. Therefore, this study aims to investigate managers perspective on communication by interviewing middle managers working with elderly care. Furthermore, the st
Augmented reality is a field which is getting increased funding every year, as more businesses are realizing the potential of rendering virtual objects in the real world. As the equipment gets more commercialized, the costs will get lowered while performance also goes up. As of now, augmented reality mostly makes use of plane detection and marker detection to find and locate objects. We want to in
