Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur health locus of control och rädsla för att drabbas av Covid-19 påverkade följsamheten till Folkhälsomyndighetens rekommendationer under coronapandemin. En surveyundersökning med bekvämlighetsurval genomfördes med en enkät utskickad på Facebook. Data insamlades under perioden 24/11–1/12, 2020. Enkäten besvarades av 227 personer. Enkäten bestod av fem delar med sThe aim of this study was to examine how health locus of control and the fear of getting Covid-19 influenced compliance to the Public Health Agency of Sweden’s recommendations during the corona pandemic. A survey with convenience sampling was carried out with a questionnaire that was posted online. The data was gathered between 24/11–1/12, 2020. The survey was taken by 227 individuals. It consiste

The topic of human migration and displacement has become more important in recent years and will continue to do so in the following decades. Voices become louder claiming that climate change is a driving factor for increased displacement and migration. Increasing unsuitable living conditions due to unpredictable weather patterns and increased number of extreme events are putting pressure on the so

In recent years, Iceland has experienced a growing demand for residential housing and the average square-meter price for apartments and single-family homes in the Capital Region has almost doubled between 2010 and 2019. Property sales in Iceland are most commonly intermediated by real estate brokers and the sales process stands in contrast to other Nordic countries, since it involves a bidding pro

Unfriending someone on Facebook is a phenomena which can be seen in many different contexts and unfriending someone for political reasons can create obstacles for political conversations as it can increase polarization in society. In recent years there has been a tendency of unfriending individuals that express sympathies for the political party Swedish Democrats (SD) which can be perceived as sti

Over the last few years, there has been a proliferation of different kinds of movements across the globe as citizens agitate for economic, socio-political and environmental change. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where the country has been involved in a series of wars, attention has rather been eschewed towards the rape and sexual violence of women and girls. Using post-colonialism and

In Sweden, environmental policy is carried out through a system of environmental objectives adopted by Parliament in 1999. Although not without its’ shortcomings, this system provides a solid ground for increased efficiency and improved prioritisation in environmental policy. This master's thesis examines which challenges face smaller (in terms of population) municipalities when designing and

This paper explores how begging roman EU-migrants was constructed in the public Swedish press. The study was based on a total of 15 articles, nine from Sydsvenska Dagbladet and six from Expressen, which were later analyzed with a social constructionist approach from a problem perspective. These are some of the major newspapers in Sweden and were therefore chosen for the study. All articles were pu

En kvalitativ studie som omfattar kompetensutveckling och dess betydelse för att utveckla och behålla medarbetare har gjorts i en kunskapsorganisation i reklambranschen. De områden som har behandlats är följande; lärande, förutsättningar för kompetensutveckling samt värdet av kompetensutveckling. Syftet var att kartlägga hur ledningen förhåller sig till och pratar om kompetensutveckling i organis

Pesticides poses a threat to drinking water, especially where the usage is extended, like in Scania, Sweden. The main objective of this study was to identify and characterize substances used in the cultivated area of Degeberga. By the help of interviews with roughly 70 % of the landowners, I identified used pesticides in the area and the soil properties of their lands. Using the geographic informa

A great challenge during early development of medicinal antibodies is to determine the stability of the candidates. This is required to be able to select the candidates with the greatest developability. The stability of the candidates can be estimated using different orthogonal techniques and the aim of this investigation was thus to use orthogonal techniques for the investigation of conformationa

Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India

Syfte: Att undersöka vilka effekter en kombination av limiterade utgåvor och co-branding har på konsumenters varumärkesattityder och köpintention. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Studiens teoretiska referensram utgår från Aakers tolkning av brand equity model. Vidare tillämpas ytterligare teorier för att komplettera modellen om brand equity, bland annat teorin om utbud och efterfrågan samt conformity theor

Title: “We are actually doing this for real”: Organizational identity and identification when CSR is part of the business model Seminar date: 1st of June 2020 Course: BUSN49 Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Misha Voss Gustavsson & Olof Skäremo Supervisor: Monika Müller Key words: CSR, sustainable business model, organizational identity & organizational

The electric vehicles are increasing in popularity year by year. However, the market demand for such technology is still moderate and most traditional actors within the automotive industry are having a hard time adapting to this new stage. What poses threats to the survival of some actors can simultaneously become a great opportunity for the emergence of new major players. This paper looked at the

A capillary-based model modified for characterization of monolithic cryogels is presented with key parameters like the pore size distribution, the tortuosity and the skeleton thickness employed for describing the porous structure characteristics of a cryogel matrix. Laminar flow, liquid dispersion and mass transfer in each capillary are considered and the model is solved numerically by the finite

In this paper we present a non-linear demand system for households' joint choice of number of trips and days to spend at a destination. The approach, which facilitates welfare analysis of exogenous policy and price changes, is used empirically to study the effects of an increased CO2 tax. In particular, we focus on the effect of including substitution between households choice of the number of tri

A search for diphoton events with large missing transverse momentum has been performed using proton-proton collision data at is root s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb(-1). No excess of events was observed above the Standard Model prediction and model-dependent 95% confidence level exclusion limits are set. In the context of a generalise

The severe consequences of road tunnel fires have led researchers to investigate the best safety design methodology. Italy has the main tunnel network in Europe and consequently the importance of a definition of the optimal design standard is a key issue. This paper reviews the design of the means of egress from tunnels within the Italian Codes (analysing both prescriptive and performance-based ap
