The proliferation of poverty and global inequality between and within the countries has resulted in an emerging consensus among the actors in the field of international development on the importance of social policies in the process of development. One type of social policy measures employed to tackle poverty is Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT). These have been formed within the World Bank Group a
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka hur agil utveckling och användarcentrerad design kan kombineras i en utvecklingsprocess. Undersökningen baseras sig på den utvecklingsprocess med Scrum som används på en sektion vid avdelningen Applikationer och Service på Sony Mobile Communications AB i Lund, Sverige. Det första målet med examensarbetet var att förse sektionen med ett antal förslaThe main purpose of this master´s thesis was to investigate how agile development and user-centered design can be combined in a development process. The target development process for this investigation was a development process at a section in the department Application and Service at Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. The first goal of the thesis was to provide the section with a set
Purpose: Since limited efforts have been made when trying to understand and identify what managers do when managing the supply chain, the purpose of this research is to move towards a better understanding of Supply Chain Manager’s practices. By using different methods than previously conducted research, a practice-based approach is going to be used when trying to answer, identify and to zoom in on
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologi är en ung gren av naturvetenskap. Det var inte förrän på 1800-talet som geologins ädla konst började diskuteras och detta trots att moral och religiös etik dikterade annat. Inte kunde väl jorden vara mer än 4000 år och borde inte Gud ha nämnt de där dinosaurierna i bibeln? Inte förrän mitten på 1900-talet började man till slut gräva fram ett och annat koThe mid-Atlantic ridge connects with land at the Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest Iceland. Iceland extends well over the whole ridge and allows for representative surface observations of sea-floor processes. Across the Peninsula the plate boundary is characterized by a rift zone, which encompasses leaky transform fault zone characteristics. Across a fissure swarm, connected with the Reykjanes volcan

As part of the project FIRE21, a workshop was organised in Trondheim on September 8, 2023, inviting all project partners (Lund University, Research Institutes of Sweden, the Technical University of Denmark and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) to brainstorm on potential problems for the fire and rescue services (FRS) in the 21st century, and recommendations on how to improve the
European rivers experience increased loading of total organic carbon (TOC) from terrestrial sources due to factors involving changes in land use, climate and soil acidity. However, little is known about how increased TOC is linked to changes in the bioreactivity of organic matter in these rivers on a continental scale. We compiled paired measurements of TOC and biological oxygen demand in 5‐day 20
The process of transforming the industrial economy into a society largely based on the production and dissemination of information and knowledge has widespread implications for cities and regions as well as organisations and individuals. And while the economy is increasingly global, the differences in economic development between cities and regions will not necessarily disappear. Indeed, the diver
Globalisering av ekonomin, människors rörelser över nationsgränser såväl som ett ökat fokus på gränskontroller och säkerhet, har utmanat och delvis destabiliserat idéer om nationell tillhörighet och solidaritet. En sådan utveckling bidrar till att nya gränser skapas, den separerar medborgare från icke-medborgare och skapar hierarkier av “värdiga”/”icke-värdiga”. Denna avhandling bidrar till analysGlobalisation of the economy, as well as movement of people and increasing securitisation of borders, have challenged and to different degrees destabilised forms of national belonging and solidarity. Such developments produce new borders and boundaries, separate citizens from non-citizens and create hierarchies of “deservingness”. This dissertation contributes to the analysis of these developments
Ninety-nine per cent of all parents visit child healthcare centres (CHCs) andall parents in Sweden are invited to parental groups organized by the childhealth service (CHS) during their child’s first year, but only 40% choose toattend. The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate the group-based earlyparental support provided by the Swedish CHS from the perspective of CHCnurses and parents. A t
“Fråga mig inte var jag kommer ifrån, fråga mig var jag känner mig hemma”. Citatet är hämtat från en TED presentation av Taiye Selasi som handlar om att vissa människor känner sig hemma på flera ställen i världen samtidigt. Inte nödvändigtvis där de kommer från. I min forskning fokuserar jag på affärsmodeller för solenergi som sprids till och etableras på nya marknader. En affärsmodell är en abstrHow business models are configured can provide one solution to bringing forward sustainable innovations and transforming businesses and industries so that they become more sustainable. Creating a shift in the energy sector’s use of renewable sources is of particular importance since the energy sector is the source of one-fourth of all global greenhouse gas emissions. In California, the dominant bu
There is a growing interest within place branding research for how experiences of safety influence the image of the city (e.g. Coaffee and Van Ham, 2008).Previous research demonstrates that fear is socially constructed and amplified by mass media (Avraham and Ketter, 2008) and social media (Doosti et al., 2016; Jansson, 2018). The realm of media has become more complex in an era characterised as p
Cognitive impairments (CI), associated with the consequences of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, are increasingly prevalent among older adults, leading to deterioration in self-care, mobility, and interpersonal relationships among them. Innovative Assistive Technologies (IAT) such as electronic reminders and surveillance systems are considered as increasingly important tools to facilitate
Approximately 20% of the population experience long-term pain. Women are generally more affected than men. Currently, pain researchers advocate a biopsychosocial perspective, which emphasises the importance of addressing psychological and social factors as well as biomedical ones in clinical practice. However, previous research shows that this holistic perspective is not always materialized in med
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den mänskliga kroppen är ett komplext maskineri med en rad olika reglersystem och kontrollmekanismer. Flera grenar av modern biomedicinsk forskning riktar sig mot olika nivåer av detta komplexa maskineri. En av dessa grenar heter genomik, som ärläran om hur den genetiska koden som finns i varenda cell av en organism används och regleras. Slutförandet av Human Genome ProAs the ultimate workhorses of the living things, proteins undergo significant regulatory activity throughout the lifetime of a cell or an organism. Many complex diseases effect the protein composition, expression or modification in the cells or tissues they arise in. It is then no surprise that proteomics is a field full of promise, one which is expected to generate significant insights towards fu

Aim. The aim of this study is to examine associations between caregiver burden, perceived health and sense of coherence in family caregivers to persons with dementia living at home. Background. Most of the studies on family caregivers have focused on burden and morbidity. However, the caregiver's sense of coherence and perceived health have not been studied earlier in relation to caregiver burden.
