The packaging solution for freeze-dried adventure food has not changed for a long time. Across the market, the available models look very similar, and differ only in branding and fine detail. With help from concept developers at AR Packaging, and based on interviews with a group of extreme athletes which are the intended users of the product, the package was analysed to see where it can be improve
This paper is about the debate on child poverty in Sweden. The study is designed as a discourse analysis of editorials written after an audit program on Swedish TV, Uppdrag Granskning (Mission Review). The program was a critic for statistics and campaigns that child rights organizations have come out with current poor children in Sweden. The review was whether these data were incorrect or not and
This study examines how separatism can be used as a tool to enable young girls as a group to feel more at home in public places designed for physical activity. The purpose is to try the hypothesis that the tradition of male domination in public spaces, and stereotypical ideas about gender, systematically excludes women and girls from these places, and that girl separatist activities can give the g
The design of a policy based on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle can involve one or several Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) as well as various degree of involvement on the part of municipalities. The thesis is analysing the implications of different choices regarding these two aspects in light of the experiences with EPR systems for household packaging in three Eur

The scientific development of astronomy today mainly comes from the information that can be obtained via electromagnetic radiation. Today, the Gaia optical telescope is one of the most ambitious space projects man has ever completed. Another optical telescope LSST is designed to complement Gaia. In about 15 years it will also be possible to measure gravitational waves with the telescope LISA, whic
Public speaking is something that most people struggle with and the art of public speaking is something that is difficult to master. Traditional coaching usually consists of an expert teaching you a set of rules to consider and giving you feedback based on a presentation. Virtual reality (VR) based applications have been becoming more and more common over the last couple of years as an alternative
Bakgrund: Covid-19-pandemin har förändrat utbildningsformen på universitet Sverige över, vilket påtvingat distansstudier för många studenter. Omställningen kan inverka på studenters upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans, vilket är kopplat med hälsa och välbefinnande, men det saknas idag studier inom detta fält. Ökad kunskap om hur studenter upplever distansundervisningens inverkan på deras aktivitetsbalaBackground: The covid-19-pandemic has shifted the method of education toward distance- based learning for universities throughout Sweden. This could affect students experiences of occupational balance, which is known to be associated with health and well-being, but today there is a lack of studies in this area. Increased insight into how students experience occupational balance could help universi
This study aims to analyze experiences and attitudes that the AML employees at Danske Bank have towards the relevant legislation and regulation due to their crime prevention work against money laundering. The employees' experiences were composed through semi-structured interviews of a total of 5 employees selected in the bank´s two departmental teams within AML: Compliance and AML Advisors. Th
The topic of immigration and its management is very controversial and highly discussed. Hence, it continues to have a huge impact on the today’s societies and the political climate. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the following socio-economic factors: satisfaction, security and dynamics regarding the fear of immigration in East Germany. The main goal is to investigate the dif
Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. Målet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur olika dTreatment of wastewater is crucial for removing any compounds which can have a negative impact on human health and nature before the water is reused or released into nature. Interest in anaerobic treatment of wastewater has increased as it is a good complement to aerobic treatment, and it produces energy in form of methane. The aim of this project was to investigate how different operational para
Electrolytic capacitor components degrade when exposed to thermal stress which can cause failures in electrical devices. Several recent works have studied the lifetime of these components by using accelerated life testing. This work, however, takes a new approach by utilising vast amounts of temperature data and regression techniques. Axis Communications collects large amounts of non-personalised
Malmö is growing. By 2030 the north harbor will house a new neighborhood with the goal of bringing 3000 residents closer to the city center. Building vertically, roof top kindergartens and a large number of courtyards are some of the visions of the concept suggested by the architects. This new neighborhood and situation requires furniture accordingly and public furniture producer Nola wants to dev
Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d
Dating back to the ancient times, people used simple marks to tell their stories and write their history when languages were not created. As time passes by, there are more and more ways we could choose like writing dairies, taking photos, or using mobile devices to share the stories with friends. We could record almost every second in life easily. On the other hand, we are now facing a huge amount
The scale at which greenhouse gases are produced by human activities is a global problem, and as such it is being targeted broadly both by political means as well as technologically. One of the major contributors to the emission of green house gases globally, as well as in Sweden, is the transportation sector. This poses an opportunity for technologies that aim to reduce impact of the transport se
Machine control with GPS allows machinists to operate using a digital model as reference instead of the traditionally used methods. This leads to other duties and a different flow at the worksite. The purpose of this study is to examine how various professions have changed with the development of machine controlled equipment and also how the work methods can be optimized. A series of interviews ha
Throughout the past, cities have been designed so that cars have become the centre of the streetscape, and pedestrians have come second. This led to wide streets, street parking, and smaller city sidewalks. However, pedestrians are the ones who bring life and movement to a street or square. Currently, more municipalities want to shift their focus to the centre of their cities and reduce access (d‘
The main purpose of this thesis is to uncover the relationship that exists between the formation of purchase intentions and the factors that influence the process of intent formation; a specific focus will be given to the discovery of the impact of negative eWOM within a consumer’s pre purchase decision context. The thesis uses an inductive and qualitative design. The authors propose and apply two
