The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the Swedish approach to managing the Covid- 19 pandemic, by putting it in context to recent Swedish socio-economic and demographic development. The research question reads “to what extent does the public discussion on the Covid-19 pandemic build on elements associated with advanced liberalism?”, which has been examined by the aid of a qualitative conte
Syftet med studien är att förstå politiken om åtgärder för unga myndiga lagöverträdare genom att analysera de argument som förs fram av centrala parter. Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ dokumentstudie med teorin om anspråksformulering som vetenskapsteoretisk utgångspunkt. Mitt urval är följande politiska dokument: Riksdagspartiernas kriminalpolitiska program, statens offentliga utredning, riksdagsdThe aim of the study is to understand the policy arguments regarding measures for young offenders of age 18 by analyzing the arguments that are presented by central parties. I have completed a qualitative document study with claims-making as a theory. My selection is the following political documents: Criminal policy program, state public inquiry, policy debate about young offenders and referral r
In this thesis, the mass singularities occurring in the cross-section of electron scattering processes are investigated. Two types of scatterings are studied: Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) scatterings, and Perturbative Quantum Gravity (PQG) scatterings. We show how mass singularities in QED and PQG cancel when real and virtual diagrams are included in the scattering cross-section. We find that in
Despite the consensus that reading is good for the individual, teachers seem to report the existence of a different mindset in the classroom as they struggle to motivate students to read. Research has indicated the existence of a growing gap between weak and strong readers, and that the fast-paced and technologically advanced society of today is noticeably affecting students’ reading habits. Howev
Miljöproblemen har länge varit ett aktuellt och omtalat diskussionsämne som man aktivt jobbat för att begränsa och minska människans negativa klimatpåverkan med målsättningar samt nya lagar och krav. Byggsektorn står idag för en betydande del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp och för att ha möjlighet att uppnå de mål som finns i Parisavtalet krävs åtgärder i byggbranschen. Klimatneutralitet är ett relaThe environmental problems have for a long time been a current and highly spoken topic of discussion which one has actively worked to limit and reduce the human's negative climate impact with agreements, laws and requirements. Today the constructions sector stands for a significant part of Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions and to be able to achieve the goals in the Paris Agreement, measure
Den här masteruppsatsen är utförd i samarbete med Axis Communications AB och utforskar hur pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) kameror kan vibrationsdämpas och vilka nya miljöer PTZ-kameror skulle kunna användas i om vibrationerna dämpades. För att upptäcka nya potentiella användningsmiljöer, intervjuades personer inom Axis organisation med insikt i vibration, produktledning och försäljning. Användningsmiljöer sThis master’s thesis is performed in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. It explores how pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras can be vibration proofed and which new environments PTZ cameras could be used in if vibration proofed. Members of Axis’ organization with insight in vibration, product management, and sales were interviewed to identify possible new areas of use. Environments deemed relevant
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), theforemost legal instrument that defines and protects Indigenous rights, is groundbreaking because it centers the voices of Indigenous peoples and pushes back on the colonial undertones of the United Nations human rights framework. While this declaration represents a landmark in the fight for Indigenous rights, it is non
To support the transition into green plastics, the upscaling and economic analysis of 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) synthesis from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) was done. The project can be described as a plant-to-plastics process, with sugar beet-derived HMF as a starting point. The final product in this upscaled process can be further processed into polyethylene 2,5-furandicarboxylate (PEF).
This study investigates the seemingly increasing spread of accentedness within Japanese i-adjectives in lexical final form, shuushikei, and adnominal form, rentaikei, by conducting an online survey containing Likert scale questions. Once the data had been collected, the informants were separated into age groups and their results compared between each other. In addition, the current results were co
Title: Are young nicotine addicts our future loyal customers? A qualitative study about marketing and increased consumption of white snus. Seminar date: 2020-06-03 Course name: FEKH29 - Bachelor Thesis in Marketing, 15 University Credit Points Authors: Johanna Arnborger, Ellinor Johannesson och Hedvig Spenner Crona Advisor: Oskar Christensson Keywords: White snus, marketing, nicotine addicti
Background: The workplace setting is a prioritized arena for health promotion to battle non-communicable diseases. App-based interventions have shown promise to be useful tools for workplace-based health promotion. However, the effects of app-based interventions have been found to be moderate. The aim of this study is to construct a conceptual model explaining how a health promotion app, that is i
In each electric vehicle there is an energy storage part and a propulsion part to drive the vehicle in the desired direction. To make them compatible with each other and at the same time have a good efficiency, there is need for a system that transfers energy from the batteries to the motor. In electric drive systems this energy transfer is done with different converters and the converter that is
Entanglement production is one of the properties of interest when studying nanoscale systems. Not only does entanglement between subsystems hints at other non-classical behaviour and effects that may be of interest to applications; the resource of entangled systems themselves is one on which many future devices and protocols may depend on. In this thesis work, a system of two quantum dots coupled
The Swedish mathematician Gösta Mittag-Leffler (1846-1927) is well-known for founding Acta Mathematica, the famous international mathematical journal. His mathematical contributions are connected chiefly with complex analysis. The Mittag-Leffler theorem which built on Karl Weierstrass' work asserts the existence of meromorphic function with prescribed poles and principal parts. The main purpo
This project focus on the exploration of playfullnes in public furniture. The aim has been to identify and refine playfull aspects of form and function of public furniture through iteration and form exploration. In this project the main purpose has been to develope an inviting, playfull yet practical public seating environment for outdoor use. This paper documents the design process and reflection
A new type of nanoparticle generator is being developed at Lund University. This project aimed to characterize it in order to produce a stable aerosol for medical inhalation applications. This project characterized size distributions during different parameter settings for the generator. The experimental work included assessing the effect of cleaning the generator between experiments for experimen

Realityserien “Love is blind” är ett socialt experiment som går ut på att olika singlar dejtar varandra utan att kunna se varandras fysiska utseende. Poängen med serien är att paren ska skapa ett starkt emotionellt band som går utöver det fysiska utseendet. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur maskuliniteter konstrueras samt vad de språkliga handlingar som återfinns i programmet säger o
This paper empirically evaluates whether different backtests for Expected Shortfall (ES) produce similar results. In 2016, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed a shift from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to ES as the industry standard when calculating capital requirements for banks. However, ES has been found difficult to backtest. Since backtesting results form the basis for determining the c
