Early career people are under represented when it comes to understanding their experiences with work-life balance. Graduate programmes in Sweden are an incubator for recent university graduates to enter the workforce and accelerate their careers. Combining those two aspects, this study aims to explore and understand if work-life balance is present and important to early career people enrolled in g
Med en befolkning på cirka 30 miljoner människor är kurderna den fjärde största etniska gruppen i Mellanöstern. Trots detta har kurderna inte sin egen självständiga stat vilket gör dem till en minoritetsgrupp i Turkiet, Irak, Iran och Syrien. Eftersom kurderna är utspridda över fyra olika stater är det av intresse att undersöka hur de hänvisar till varandra i förhållande till idén om att ha en suvWith a population of around 30 million people, the Kurds are the fourth largest ethnic group in the Middle East. Despite this, the Kurds do not have their own independent state which makes them a minority group in Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. Since the Kurds are scattered over four different states it is of interest to examine how they refer to each other in relation to the idea of having an inde

The study was conducted through qualitative text analysis of public documents. The analyzed documents were published both before and a
Coffee production systems are experiencing climate change stress in a multitude of ways. One of the ways in which climate change manifests itself in coffee systems is through the evolution of pest and disease populations. Global coffee production is thereby recognized as vulnerable to climate change, particularly the lives of those that rely on coffee for their livelihoods. Reducing vulnerability
Robots are nowadays present and essential in a wide range of applications, and robot arms in particular are capable of performing various tasks such as inspection, material handling, and welding. They can be classified into several types, depending on their structure and purpose. This project focuses on two collaborative robot arms, a type that is designed to work in the presence of human interact
Lipid nanopartiklar, förkortat LNP, används bland annat vid cancerbehandling och vaccinutveckling. Deras funktion är att transportera och skydda verksamma ämnen såsom antikroppar, proteiner och peptider. Ett välkänt exempel är coronavaccinet, där LNP transporterar mRNA och skyddar det från att brytas ner i kroppen. Lipid nanopartiklar består av olika lipider: positivt laddade, fosfolipider, kolestOver the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. Specifically, Polysorbate 80 (P80), a
Behind the background of the increasing self-destructive nature of capitalism, this thesis investigates Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) as a promising movement opposing corporate industrial food systems. Given that major difficulties appear to be of internal nature and arise from misunderstanding and a lack of trust, the focus lies on internal communication as a leverage point for the moveme
The law concerning visitation zones has been widely debated in Sweden. While some see it as a necessary measure to fight the continuous gang violence, others are concerned it will create a divide between the police and the people in the areas they are put up. These presumed areas for the visitation zones are areas of low socio-economic status and with a high crime rate. Therefore, the purpose of t
The National Archives of Sweden have been given the task of standardising the management of electronic records in the public sector so as to ensure long-term storage and readability of these records in electronic archives. Standardisation is a powerful tool which eases transferability and prevents obsolescence. International organisations, including the EU, have long been producing and managing st
Att vilja vara kvar: faktorer som får vårdens medarbetare att trivas Sjukvården i Sverige står inför en av de största utmaningarna någonsin: hur ska vi säkra att det finns tillräckligt med kompetent personal i framtiden – både i den offentliga och privata vården? Regeringen satsar stora resurser på att kartlägga behoven och hitta lösningar, men det krävs fortfarande mer forskning för att verkligeThe Swedish healthcare system is facing a substantial challenge in competence provision, with skilled staff needed in both the private and public sectors. The Swedish government is investing heavily in initiatives and mapping projects aimed at securing future competence supply. This study aims to identify which factors have the greatest impact on healthcare employees' decisions to either leav
En tredjedel av Sveriges årliga växthusgasutsläpp kommer idag från transportsektorn, vilket innebär att stora förändringar behöver ske om målet om nettonollutsläpp vid 2045 ska nås. En viktig åtgärd som diskuteras i denna kontext är en ökad elektrifiering och en lösning som har möjlighet att bidra i denna omställning är elvägssystem, där elfordon laddas dynamiskt. En typ av konduktiv elvägsteknik
Informationsutbyte och myndighetssamverkan anses vara viktiga redskap för att motverka den organiserade brottsligheten, vilken beskrivs som en stor utmaning för rättssamhället. Personer som tidigare varit kriminellt belastade löper större risk att rekryteras till kriminella grupperingar med kopplingar till den organiserade brottsligheten. Sedan 2009 bedrivs ett särskilt samarbete mellan myndigheteExchange of information and cooperation between public authorities are considered important tools to counteract organized crime, which is described as a great challenge for the society. People with a former criminal record are at greater risk of being recruited to criminal groupings with connections to organized crime. Since 2009, several Swedish public authorities cooperate to counteract organize
Suicide prevention consists of several different types of strategies ranging from strengthening the individuals’ mental health to spatial planning. Studies have shown that preventing suicide within the scope of spatial planning by restricting the accessibility to dangerous sites is effective and helpful. Two Swedish authorities have been commissioned by the government to develop a new national str
Lärdomar från småföretag som minskar sina utsläpp med Science Based Targets Vi vet alla hur viktigt det är att stoppa klimatförändringarna som sker, men ansvaret kanske inte alltid ligger på dig eller mig. Ofta fokuseras det på vad vi kan göra som individer, men alla problem hade inte löst sig även om vi slutade flyga eller åt mer vegetariskt. Omställningen måste även göras av företagen som stårWith climate change resulting from a history of uncontrolled greenhouse gas emissions, all parts of society now need to take action - maybe most importantly the private sector. Since 2015 the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative has committed over 5000 companies worldwide to heavily reduce their total emissions at a pace that scientists deem necessary for average global temperature rise to stay
Swedish social workers are generalists and on the broad field of work are often employed with different titles. The profession of social workers is therefore considerably difficult to define. What does this mean for the social workers’ professional identity at large? The aim of this study was to give account to how newly graduated social workers experience and reason about their professional ident
The EES, Lisbon and Europe 2020 are the most relevant soft law strategies promoting the improvement of work-family reconciliation-related policies in the EU Member States. In this study, the cases of the German Elterngeld reforms are applied to scrutinise the influences of these three strategies on domestic policy-making. Thus, this research work is based on the theoretical framework of soft Europ
Problem/ background: Since the enlargement of the EU in 2004 and the free mobility directive there has been growing concern of homelessness and destituteness among EU migrants in several European countries, Sweden being one of them. This is an important welfare and policy issue. Previous research on this matter has tended to focus on challenges faced by, as well as strategies adopted by, NGOs and
The zoo is a place where you as a visitor can experience and see wild animals which they probably would not encounter elsewhere. It is a place for learning about our planets nature and biodiversity. Many species are rapidly disappearing due to human activity. There are for example more tigers in captivity than there are left in the wild. One of the zoos most important roles is the conservation of
