Syftet med denna studie var att ta reda på om rollförväntningar, social interaktion samt demografisk data kunde predicera om brevbärare drivs av inre eller yttre motivation.

The theoretical basis for the thesis is queer theory, with a specific focus on how the heterosexual matrix and
The recycling sector and the solid waste management systems (SWMS) in developing countries greatly rely on scavengers, a vulnerable and marginal urban population that recover items or materials to be reused or recycled. As a new mindset towards waste emerges, considering it a resource instead of something useless and undesirable; governments, NGOs, private companies and other stakeholders slowly r
Sustainability Science (SS) has, as of today, no explicit agreement on which philosophy of science should be used to guide its research. Though SS is a broad and often diffuse concept, there are certain guiding principles which are generally agreed on. Based on these principles, it has been seen if Critical Realism (CR) could be an appropriate meta-theory for SS. The approach used is therefore pri
I Sverige uppskattas den offentliga upphandlingen omsätta omkring 500 miljoner kronor per år. Dessa stora ekonomiska värden ger det offentliga makt att påverka privata aktörer och gör att upphandling kan bli ett viktigt politiskt styrmedel. I vilken utsträckning socialpolitiska målsättningar ska kunna främjas genom offentlig upphandling har dock varit föremål för diskussion. I den här uppsatsen haIn Sweden, public procurement annually accounts for approximately SEK 500 million. With these large economic values, the public has the power to influence private actors. In this way, procurement can be an important policy tool. To what extent public procurement can be used to promote social objectives has been subject to discussion. In this essay, I have chosen to investigate the scope provided f

This paper aims to design a highly efficient adsorbent to capture phosphoprotein in a facile way. One of the applications would be removing the allergenic β-casein from vaccines. To avoid the use of organic reagents and improve the capacity of immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography applied for bio-products at neutral pH, synergistic functional Core@Brush microspheres were designed utilizing
