We will cover issues such as citizenship and representation in political institutions, changes in women’s participation in the labour force, sexuality and the social welfare state, masculinity studies as well as gender and social change. Integral to the course is learning to use critical theoretical understandings in analysing how models of gender equality are affected by social relations such as
Strength grading of Norway spruce side boards in the wet state was investigated. For a sample of 58 boards of dimensions 25×120×3000 mm3, density and dynamic modulus of elasticity in the axial direction, MOEdyn, were determined in the wet state. The boards were then split into two parts and the procedure of determining MOEdyn was repeated both before and after the boards were dried to a target
Institutional economics has produced a string of findings about the importance of good institutions for economic growth and development. While consensus is lacking about how important institutions are, few scholars argue that institutions have no impact whatsoever. Yet, for all the knowledge produced, the results of institutional reforms are meager. This is not surprising as a central theme in the
Architecure+Function+Energy efficiency Is it possible to combine modern architecture with sustainable development? If it is possible how do you combine these parameters? That is where my project has its focus. The house is a one family villa and it is placed on the country side in Bjärehalvön, a peninsula in northwest of Skåne, inspired by the existing architecture in the area as well as modern
Video – Students develop vegan, gluten-free mud cake mix[Picture of a mud cake.]Text in the video: A group of Food Technology students at Lund University noticed there were no vegan, gluten-free cake mixes on the Swedish market.Jitesh Jayakumar, student, Food Technology:– We have developed a vegan mud cake. It is vegan and gluten-free. So it serves people with gluten intolerance.[A hand is measuri

In the Bologna process, the use of explicit learning goals and formative assessment are central elements in improving student learning. Ideally, formative assessment provides feedback to the student about how his present state relates to the learning goals and enables him to reflect on and regulate his learning. However, we found that it was easier said than done – not just to carry out, but in pa
Highdynamicrange imaging (HDR) är en mängd tekniker som används för att producera bilder med mer detaljer i både mörka och ljusa områden jämfört med ett traditionellt foto. Ett sätt att göra HDR på är att sätta ihop bilder med olika mängd ljus i sig. Problem uppstår dock om kameran rör på sig mellan bilderna eller föremål i bilderna flyttar på sig.This thesis discuss how to use mutual information in differently exposed images to improve noise reduction. It also investigates how one can create an high dynamic range (HDR) image from multiple differently exposed images taken with a handheld camera while simultaneously cope with the problems this approach introduces. The proposed method and workflow in this thesis is based on the non-local mea
Challenges of intonation derive from discrepancies between justly tuned intervals. In theoretical literature, string intonation is depicted as a balancing act between melodic and harmonic ideals, or between distinct tuning systems. However, practical string teachers’ and empirical researchers’ accounts sometimes appear to bypass such theory, focusing instead more informally on listening, kinesthet
This is a study of the growing phenomenon volunteer tourism, defined as Westerners traveling to countries in the ”third world”, mainly through commercial agencies, with the purpose of ”helping out” in social and environmental projects. The purpose is to examine how the volunteer travel as a social practice produces discursive meaning, identities and subject positions. I have studied the web pages
In this paper we address the problem of registering and merging two maps in two dimensions, given covariance estimates of the two maps. We show that if two maps are given in the same coordinate system, then the problem of merging them in a statistically optimal way can be formulated as a linear least squares problem, but if they are given in different coordinate systems as well the problem becomes
Matsvinnet ökar globalt, även i Sverige. Åtgärder för att förhindra detta diskuteras både hos FN och i den svenska regeringen och mål har därför satts upp för att minska detta. Nu finns det dessutom företag som går in med affärsidén att minska på matsvinnet genom att ta tillvara på råvaror som på grund av exempelvis fel storlek eller missformning sorterats bort och därmed egentligen skulle blivit Food waste is becoming a bigger problem globally, but even in Sweden. Actions to prevent this are being discussed both by UN but also in the Swedish government and goals for the future has because of that been set. Many new companies have started their business with the idea to take care of the food waste by using the raw material that because of the size or shape has been sorted out. These raw ma
Due to labor shortages and an aging workforce, businesses are having difficulty hiring and maintaining talented staff. Employer branding is an important factor in attracting and keeping top employees. However, current research on job seekers' expectations and fulfillment is lacking. This study explores job seekers' expectations and how they align with job and organizational culture in real
This course gives a deeper presentation of long term trends of economic and social development in Africa, with special focus on the agricultural sector. The course takes its point of departure in current challenges and debates and provides alternative historical explanations to issues of poverty, underdevelopment and inequality. The course emphasizes the diverse historical paths and the importance
Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett stort problem i dagens samhälle och trots många försök att få bukt med problemet kvarstår det ännu. Kontaktförbud är en av många åtgärder som finns till hands vid våld i nära relation och har sin främsta användning i att skydda kvinnor ifrån män. Regleringen om kontaktförbud är inte felfri då det finns sätt att kringgå dem. Nyligen har ett problem uppmärksammats där enMen’s violence against women is a big problem in society and despite efforts to solve the problem it persists. A restraining order is one of several options available in case of domestic violence and is used mainly to protect women from men. The legislation concerning restraining orders is not without fault since there are ways to circumvent them. Recently a problem has been brought to light where
The project has been developed from a proposal made by RegionService (technical real estate for Region Skåne) and based on the replacement of light fixtures from fluorescent lamps to white LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) in some hallways in Helsingborgs Lasarett (The Hospital in Helsingborg). The results turned out to be positive and further replacement were made in nearby buildings as well. My part
Kursen mål är att utifrån rättssociologiska och kriminologiska perspektiv erbjuda fördjupad kunskap om brott, strafftillämpning, kriminalpolitik och social kontroll. Presentationer och diskussionerna utgår från en konstruktivistisk syn på brott, där utgångspunkten är att det som räknas som avvikande beteende och som brott inte är något av naturen givet. Under kursen ska studenten arbeta med en essThe course aims to provide students with specialised knowledge of approaches to crime, criminal justice and social control based on socio-legal and critical criminological perspectives. During the course, different theoretical approaches to, and empirical knowledge of, main topics within critical studies of crime, social control and criminal policy based on a constructivist approach to crime will
