Varje år dör 6 miljoner barn innan dom fyller fem år. Utvecklingsländerna runt om i världen får en stort andel utländskt bistånd varje år. I denna uppsats analyserar jag om och på vilket sätt detta bistånd kan kopplas till barnadödligheten. I studien analyseras paneldata från 116 länder mellan åren 1988 till 2011. I studien ingår även laggade perioder för att hitta eventuell effekten av stöd efter

This master thesis focuses on safe and secure routes to school and the point of departure is the phenomena that parents take their children to school by car instead of using sustainable alternatives as cycling and walking. This behavior creates a number of problems around schools as congestion and lack of traffic safety. Also the roads that are used for traveling to and from school, experience the

The overall project objective was to investigate the feasibility of using thermoplastic rubber (TPR) pellet in combination with the fused deposit modeling technique to create 3D objects. The commercially available pseudo-rubber printers available today uses photosensitive binders or laser sintering in the build process. These are however both expensive and exhibits poor mechanical strength and per

Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att undersöka tvångsvård som arbete, såsom det erfors och upplevdes av skötare inom psykiatrin. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fem deltagare med aktuell erfarenhet av att utföra tvångsåtgärder mot patienter. Analys av insamlat material gjordes med en fenomenologisk metod, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).

This dashboard shows current operations as well as its future and desired state. In theory this might seem as a good tool for enterprise architects bu

Hay meadows are becoming scarce in the Swedish agricultural landscape and restoration efforts are crucial to not lose the rich biodiversity. I studied three closely situated areas, one formerly grazed and the other two mown for at least 800 years, which had been left for free succession for more than fifty years. The purpose of my study was to investigate the outcome two years after restoration st

I denna studie undersöktes huruvida en stund av väntan med eller utan mobiltelefon innan en kreativ uppgift påverkade den kreativa förmågan samt känslan av hoppfullhet. Studien utgick ifrån vardagens väntestunder, pauser som uppkommer dagligen där vi tvingas vänta på något (exempelvis på bussen, mötet, middagen, hissen) och så får en oplanerad sysslolös stund. I studien undersöktes sextiosex gymnaThis study explored how a break with or without a mobile phone before engaging in a creative task would affect the creative outcome and the feeling of hope. The study took its base in the moments of everyday life, the little breaks that we experience everyday where we are forced to wait for something or someone (e.g. for the bus, the meeting, dinner or elevator) and this becomes an unplanned inact

Most cochlear implant (CI) strategies are optimized for speech characteristics while music enjoyment is signicantly below normal hearing performance. In this thesis, electrical stimulation strategies in CIs are analyzed for music input. A simulation chain consisting of two parallel paths, simulating normal hearing conditions and electrical hearing respectively, is utilized. One thesis objective is
