Eating disorders are seen as a growing social problem everywhere in the Western world today. We see it in everyday life and in the social work practices. Eating disorders and overall problems with food are not new phenomena, but are seen as more accute problems today. This study is focusing on how the family members of an affected person experience and handle the process involving the illness. The

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Klimatet har sedan den industriella revolutionen förändrats globalt och kommer att förändras ytterligare i framtiden, på grund av människans utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enligt vetenskapliga beräkningar kommer klimatet att bli varmare, vilket i sin tur leder till att den globala havsnivån kommer att stiga. Hela världen kommer drabbas, även Sverige. Därför krävs det aSince the industrial revolution the global climate has changed and will change further in the future. According to scientific estimations the climate will get warmer, which will rise the global sea level. The whole world will be affected, also Sweden. It is therefore necessary to adapt society for the estimated climate change to reduce negative effects. In May 2012 a change in the Swedish law of

The thesis examines various stabilised soils resistance to frost and to increase understanding in the field. By variation of soil materials, binders and water content, the expectation is to find a link between the various factors and frost resistance. Soil stabilisation is not a new method as it has been used since Roman times but even more recently, the U.S. military used the stabilisation at the

Purpose Our purpose is to increase the understanding of an organization’s change process by interpreting organizational members’ lived experience during a change process where messages are being communicated ambiguously. We will draw on Weick’s theoretical framework of sensemaking in order to analyze the effects of top managers’ strategic ambiguity. We further aim to contribute to academia by addr

Protein biosynthesis follows a hierarchical process, as genes are transcribed into mRNA, translated into a chain of amino acids, and ultimately folded into functional proteins. This implies that the protein structure is merely determined by the amino acid sequence. Yet, studies on translation efficiency indicate that codon usage, which is organism dependent, significantly impacts protein folding k

The thesis explores the decision-making process of sustainable entrepreneurs for securing external funds by adopting the “triple bottom line” research perspective (Hall et al., 2010; Sarango-Lalangui, 2018). It delves into how sustainable entrepreneurs assess and exploit funding opportunities while balancing their economic and non-economic goals. The research addresses two primary questions: what

The pervasive issue of Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) motivated the research for this master's thesis. During a previous professional experience at a chemical consultancy, insights were gained into the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) regulatory requirements, which informed the foundation of this study. PFAS are recognized for being high

Employee engagement and employer branding are highly relevant in today's labor market, where employers no longer hold all the cards, but the employees assert their demands as well. Furthermore, there is a scarcity in research exploring the interaction between employee engagement and employer branding. This study investigates through a case study how employee engagement and employer branding in

Punktlighet och förseningar inom järnväg är något som står högt upp på agendan i dagens samhälle. Med en infrastruktur som är i ett stort behov av underhåll samtidigt som trycket på klimatsmarta transportlösningar bara ökar, blir punktligheten och framkomligheten inom järnvägen avgörande. Med en total punktlighet på ungefär 90% finns det mycket att göra. En av järnvägens infrastrukturproblem är spPunctuality and delays within the railway system are of utmost concern in today’s society. With an infrastructure in a dire need of maintenance and the increasing pressure for environmentally friendly transportation solutions, punctuality and accessibility within the railway system becomes crucial. With an overall punctuality rate of approximately 90%, there is much to be improved. One of the prob

Uppsatsen analyserar hur orsakssamband, bevisbörda och beviskrav bör utformas vid svensk implementering av artiklarna 10, 11 och 29 i direktivet om tillbörlig aktsamhet för företag i fråga om hållbarhet (CSDDD). Fokus ligger på miljöskador som uppstår när ett företag eller dess affärspartner underlåter att förebygga eller avsluta miljöskadlig verksamhet i verksamhetskedjan. Genom rättsdogmatisk ocThis thesis examines how causation, burden of proof, and evidentiary standards should be designed in the Swedish implementation of Articles 10, 11 and 29 in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD). The analysis focuses on environmental harm arising from a company ́s, or its business partners ́ failure to prevent or mitigate environmentally harmful activates within the chain of

MAX-lab is a synchrotron radiation laboratory run in cooperation between Lund University and the Swedish Research Council. It currently consists of three stor-age rings, however, construction has begun of the fourth. MAX IV will be located outside of the Lund University Faculty of Engineering campus, in the northeastern part of Lund. Induced by the development in material technology at the nanomet

The aim of this study was to illustrate viewpoints and arguments in debate articles in Swedish evening – and daily press about opioid substitution therapy the past 12 years. We think that it’s relevant to elucidate the substitution debate, because the vision on drug abuse and it’s causes influence which interventions and method of treatments that are used. And social workers are affected by the de

The older people of tomorrow, today in an age between 50 and 64 years, are a key group at the Swedish housing market. This group are soon becoming one fifth of the Swedish population and the share of retired are going to increase with 22 percent (374 000 persons) among a ten-year period. Their choice of dwelling for the future will have great effects on the housing market. For the older caseload t

Den Eurasiska shelfen var under Weichsel istiden täckt av inlandsisar centrerade i Barents och Kara Havet. Kanin Halvön i nordvästra Ryssland upptar en nyckelposition för att registrera de shelfbaserade isarnas passage över till fastlandet. De vidsträckta kvartära blottningarna längs dess nordkust erbjuder en unik möjlighet att studera istäckens fluktuationer och dynamiska beteende. Denna artikeDuring the Weichselian glaciation, ice sheets centred in the Barents and Kara Seas occupied the Eurasian shelf, although their nature and extent have been debated. In NW Russia the Kanin Peninsula occupies a key position for recording the passage of shelf based ice sheets onto the mainland. The extensive Quaternary exposures along its northern coast offer a unique possibility to study ice sheet fl

Den i april 2010 genomförda lagändringen avseende en minskning av aktiebolagslagens krav för hur mycket aktiekapital som krävs för att starta uppe ett privat aktiebolag aktualiserar en stor mängd frågeställningar. Detta då aktiekapitalet historiskt sett har varit ett av lagstiftarens medel för att förhindra att aktieägarna till ett aktiebolag, med ett begränsat personligt betalningsansvar för deläThe legislative amendment to the Swedish Companies Act whereby the requirements for the amount of issued capital needed in order to start up a private limited company (Sw;Aktiebolag) was reduced, brings forth a wide range of different problems. The issued share capital has historically been one of the legislature means to prevent the share holders in limited liability companies, with a limited per
