If people understand how social media works, as an important new element of mass media, they can use social media advertising and social network strategies as a tool for helping environmental awareness in societies and communities. Social media can work as a tool to help consumers and companies detect when companies use greenwashing in their campaigns and in the information delivered about their p
In the city of Helsingborg, Sweden, sustainable urban development is currently permeating the municipality’s work on all levels. The current understanding of sustainability in Helsingborg aims at simultaneously counteracting the ecological crisis contributing to economic growth and social justice. In line with Erik Swyngedouw’s theories, this thesis shows that the current conceptualisation of sust
Efter en lång period där många bränder härjade i Sveriges storstäder förbjöds höga trähus. Denna lag upphörde att gälla i mitten på 90-talet och sedan dess har intresset för höga trähus ökat. Detta har resulterat i att behovet av bra ljudisoleringslösningar har blivit större. På grund av det växande intresset för miljöfrågor har det blivit viktigare för företag att hitta nya lösningar för att taIn the last years, the interest in high-rise timber framed building has gone up resulting in an increased demand for good solutions regarding sound insulation. Due to the worldwide growing interest in environmental issues, it has become of greater importance for companies to find ways to take care of their residue, instead of throwing it away. This can benefit both the environment, as less new mat
China's medical insurance has experienced series of reforms since 1978. During the market transition, the system confronted various challenges and improvements. A three-pillar basic medical insurance was formed for both rural and urban residents. At the same time, commercial medical insurance was developing and tended to play an increasingly critical role in medical welfare. Previous study fou
A series of tests were performed to explore the limits of two capacitive level sensors using the principle of parallel finger layout (sometimes called comb fingers) for sensing. The goal was to present a decision basis for Baxter to use when choosing a sensor to implement in their next generation hemodialysis machine. The devices under tests were 1) sensor type A: developed in-house and 2) sensor
The aim of the study was to investigate how actors from the Swedish Migration Board, the municipality of Malmö and non-governmental organization experienced the arrival of refugees in Malmö in the autumn of 2015. We collected our materials with a qualitative approach and through semi-structured interviews. Our questions will help us to investigate how the actors felt that the refugee crisis affect
Syfte: Att undersöka talet hos femåringar födda med någon typ av gomspalt, behandlade med primär gomplastik med muskelrekonstruktion enligt Sommerlad, samt att undersöka samstämmigheten i resultat baserade på talbedömningar utförda av logopedstudenter och erfarna logopeder. Metod: Ljudinspelningar av 81 femåringar födda med läpp-käk-gomspalt (LKG) analyserades av tre oberoende logopeder. Variabler
Syfte: Utvärdera kvaliteten och läsbarheten för svenska hemsidor med information för vuxna med hörselnedsättning. Metod: De två sökorden hörselnedsättning och hörapparater, skrevs in i den mest använda sökmotorn i Sverige under januari 2016, Google. Därefter valdes de 20 första relevanta hemsidorna av varje sökord, det vill säga sammanlagt 40 hemsidor. Dubbletterna togs bort och totalt utvärderadeAim: Evaluating the quality and readability of Swedish websites with information for adults with hearing loss. Method: Two keywords hearing loss and hearing aids, were entered in Google (the most used search engine in Sweden, January 2016).The first 20 relevant websites were elected of each keyword, making a total of 40 websites. Removing duplicates resulted in 29 websites that were assessed. Eval
Looking at the cultural preconditions of modern industrialized society, the presented thesis argues that the contemporary ecological crisis can be perceived as a result of modern industrial culture and the dominant worldviews of scientific rationalism which promote the supremacy of objective knowledge, economic efficiency and assumptions of human's ecological disembeddedness. If this crisis is
The inherent limitations of studying gastric pathogens in vivo, prompted me to develop a 3-dimensional gastric organoid model originating from primary murine gastric tissue. In vitro cultivation of glands from primary gastric tissue robustly yields spheroidal organoids that share structural and assembly characteristics with authentic gastric tissue. Fluorescent confocal microscopy of organoids sta
Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) provide a broad range of services and are becoming increasingly involved in topics of policy and governance. At the core of any organisation are the members who constitute it, and the strength of civil society is tied to the strength of its support base. Questions of increasing participation rates are therefore not just matters of concern for fellow participants
Mega-mining extractivism is recent in Argentina. The expansion of the sector strengthened the opposition of towns which formed self-summoned neighbors’ assemblies. Women are outstanding members of these assemblies. The anti-colonialist and anti-capitalist ecofeminism of Mies and Shiva is combined with the literature on environmental justice for a feminist political ecology study of the anti-mining
The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
As a result of the increasing gang criminality, the lethal firearm violence has enhanced since the 1990’s in Sweden which is a development that has in several ways resulted in a social problem. For example are the perpetrator and thereby gang members getting younger, the connection between gang and lethal firearm violence has eventuated in a lower number of solved cases, which is partly due to the
Undersökningens två syften är att visa vilka värdegrundsrelaterade frågor som kan väckas utifrån Jessica Schiefauers romaner Pojkarna och När hundarna kommer samt hur man kan motivera att läsa dem i svenskundervisningen i gymnasieskolan. Metoden för undersökningen är litteraturstudier där romanerna och tidigare litteraturdidaktisk forskning behandlas. Resultatet av undersökningen visar dels att ro
The goal of this thesis is to investigate if the absence of an idea of a family relation between Ruth the Moabitess and King David in the Books of Samuel can be used as circumstantial evidence that could help substantiate an argument for giving the Book of Ruth a late date, a late date meaning that the Book of Ruth would have been produced later than the Books of Samuel. This will be accomplished
Detta är ett projekt på en geometrisk metod för att visualisera beräkning av kedjebråk, som har utvecklats av Lester R. Ford på 1930-talet. Beskrivningen av metoden följs med användning tekniken av Ford cirklar på tre olika fall. I motsats till ett kedjebråk med positiva heltal koefficienter, som alltid är konvergent, kan ett kedjebråk med reella koefficienter divergera. Detta projekt ger en alterThis is a project on a geometric method to visualise the calculation of continued fractions, which was developed by Lester R. Ford in the 1930s. The description of the method is followed by the use of the technique of Ford circles on three distinct cases. In contrast to a continued fraction with positive integer coefficients, which is always convergent, a continued fraction with real coefficients
Partnering börjar få en allt mer betydande roll i byggbranschen eftersom många aktörer tröttnat på att ÄTA-arbeten och olika dispyter aktörer emellan. I partnering jobbar man som ett lag mot samma gemensamma mål och för att se att vägen dit fungerar är det viktigt att göra mätningar under projektets gång. Skanska Hus har valt att satsa fullt ut på partnering och försöker inom bostadsbyggandet bli
