In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi
Degrowth refers to an alternative human society which is simplistic, cooperative and opposite of current growth system which is based on overproduction and overconsumption. The current growth trend is indisputably unsustainable for the future being of the earth and its’ population. Resource depletion, land degradation and climate change have become inevitable due to growth system, overproduction a
Due to the act on Energy Audits in Large Enterprises (EKL) that came into effect on the 1st of June in 2014, all larger companies are obligated to perform an energy audit every four years. Parallel to the audit performed at Alufluor AB this more detailed audit of the drying part of their process was carried out. This as the drying part is energy intensive and is responsible for the majority of the
This study aimed to identify which management and leadership soft skills project managers in project-driven industries are required to have, to contend with complexity and change. To gain a holistic understanding, this knowledge was generated through four different research methods: literature research, interviews with twelve experts across the automotive and IT industries, interviews with five cl
The construction and demolition sector stands for a large amount of the waste produced every year, roughly one third of all waste produced every year in Sweden, comes from this sector. The construction material manu- facturer Ecophon is a world leading company in manufacturing of acoustic products made out of glass wool, which are used in all kind of buildings and the general geometry of an acoust
Waste is an issue in the food industry which impacts both the economy and the environment negatively. Atria is a food company aiming to reduce the waste. This report investigates the waste, its origin, and causes in the ham production process. The aim of this report is to identify waste and possible solutions. In this report both qualitative data and quantitative data were collected and analysed.
The English title of this master thesis project is ”Risk assessment, hazard analysis and HACCP plan during production of fruit- and berry based products”. As the title refers to, this projects is divided into two part. The first one is the risk assessment of a company’s raw material for their production. The second part is a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method that is used to eva
During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
Authentication for phone calls is important for companies with hundreds of customers wanting to access sensitive information. However, it is sub-par compared to authentication when using applications or websites. In this thesis, seven models have been developed for how to use BankID as the authentication service during phone calls. The purpose of all models is to use the BankID API to provide the
Authors: Emma Nilsson and Emma Silverberg Title: People in a crisis are not able to work with change Supervisor: Helene Hansen Assessor: Mikael Sandgren The aim of this study was to examine social workers reasoning on social services support to parents of children placed in compulsory care.

The aim of this study was to investigate school counselors perspective and their view of the concept honour-related violence and oppression. We have explored how school counselors perspective are taken into consideration when they define the students who live under honour-related violence and oppression. Furthermore the study also aims to describe the school counselors comprehension on their work
The aim of this study was to evaluate two methods of detecting a difference in activity between the two hemispheres of the brain when presented with stimulus during memory encoding. The difference intended to be detected was based on the lateralization of brain processing of sensory input, which was triggered by an auditory stimulus in one ear at a time. The methods that were used for detection, c
Anthropogenic activities threaten many wildlife populations by increasing mortality rates, making it crucial to identify the locations and causes of mortality to inform conservation actions. Technological advancements, such as GPS satellite tracking, enable precise recording of wildlife movements. High-resolution data from such devices can facilitate rapid carcass recovery and provide insights int
We and others have shown that embryonic and neonatal fibroblasts can be directly converted into induced neuronal (iN) cells with mature functional properties. Reprogramming of fibroblasts from adult and aged mice, however, has not yet been explored in detail. The ability to generate fully functional iN cells from aged organisms will be particularly important for in vitro modeling of diseases of ol
The aim of this study is to analyse how a taxonomy-based course design can support students’ qualitative learning processes in online university courses. The paper presents a case study based on two online courses in comparative literature in Swedish and English. A document analysis has been applied to analyse the empirical material, which includes the syllabuses, study guides, and examination ass
Background: Cancer care for individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) is challenging, with evidence of disparities, late diagnoses, and overlooked experiences of the individuals in question.Aim: To explore how individuals with concomitant ID and cancer experience the illness and navigate cancer care trajectories and everyday life from perspectives of themselves, their relatives and professio
Purpose: Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is used to evaluate kidney function. Creatinine and cystatin C levels C are the two endogenous substances used to estimate GFR (eGFRCR and eGFRCYS). Agreement between the two is reflected by the eGFRCYS/eGFRCR-ratio, and an eGFRCYS/eGFRCR-ratio <0.70 is strongly associated with mortality and morbidity. An explanation is a selective decrease in the filtrati
In 1992, the European Union began institutionalizing the cooperation against terrorism within the EU structure. Since then, this cooperation has gone through a number of changes. From a historical institutionalistic point of departure we explain these changes by identifying sources of institutional resilience and institutional change. Based on these results, we were able to pose hypotheses of when
In the last two decades, a concern on how federal forests in the United States are managed has provoked concerns among different stakeholders, including NGOs. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of NGO influence on forest management legislation. Eight aspects were selected and compared in different study cases referring to legislative proposals dealing with forest man
