Gamification and User Engagement are two important and constantly growing subjects, useful when designing applications for mobile devices. This master's thesis tries to combine the two of them while building an Android application called "Life Challenge". The application was built with respect to the principles and conclusions drawn from the research of Gamification and User Engageme
Solkräm – en miljöfara? Solskyddsprodukter används i allt större utsträckning för att skydda oss mot bland annat hudcancer. Vi informeras ständigt om vikten av att smörja oss med solskydd för att undvika skador på huden. Vad som däremot inte informeras om är att vi samtidigt bidrar till stora utsläpp av kemikalier som kan ge negativa effekter för livet i sjöar och hav. Solvårdsprodukter såldes The aim of the study was to perform a hazard assessment of ingredients in sunscreen products available on the Swedish market. Data was collected by documentation of all ingredients in 110 frequently occurring sunscreen products from 15 different brands and by a screening of four known databases for collection of hazard classifications of the ingredients. The study shows that 96 out of 347 ingredie
Virtuella valutor i allmänhet och bitcoin i synnerhet är en del i den digitala utveckling som sker i allt snabbare takt. Virtuella valutor har under de senaste åren gått ifrån att vara en företeelse som enbart attraherade en ytterst begränsad skara individer till att bli ett globalt virtuellt valutasystem med miljontals användare. Även den finansiella expansionen som virtuella de valutorna varit mVirtual currencies in general and bitcoin in particular are parts of a digital development that is currently entering the financial markets in an increasing phase. Moreover, virtual currencies were just a few years ago an occurrence that attracted only a very few particular types of people. However, presently virtual currencies have developed into becoming a major global phenomenon with millions o
Our aim with this study is to study from an intersectional perspective how Swedish printed press produced a narrative on the sexual abuse in the German city, Cologne, on New Year's Night 2015-2016. This study is based on a qualitative content analysis based on news articles from four newspaper publishers, TT News, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen. Where we come, our result will presen
Virus är icke levande organismer som infekterar levande celler och förökar sig med hjälp av cellernas maskineri. De kan infektera alla typer av liv och de är totalt beroende av en värdcell. Alla virus innehåller genetiskt material samt en så kallad viruskapsid. Denna kapsid kan ha olika struktur och består av identiska proteinenheter. Kapsidens uppgift är att skydda det genetiska materialet. DettaAll viruses are composed of both genetic material and a capsid. The capsid is composed by identical protein subunits and the purpose is protection of the genetic material, in this case RNA. This project is about cowpea chlorotic mottle virus, also called CCMV, which is a plant virus and the disassembly and reassembly mechanisms of the capsid are investigated to understand how the capsid proteins a
The movement of carbon on Earth is based on exchange between pools that represent carbon in different physical forms, differing in chemical composition, structure and function. Dissolved organic carbon plays an important role in ecosystems because of its mobility, which can be relatively high in saturated soils, and because it is the most available fraction of organic matter for microorganisms in
The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women
Biocides are chemical and biological pesticides used for preservation and disinfection. It’s being used, both in health care and everyday life, in products such as hand soap, cosmetics and textile fabrics. Studies have shown that, in textiles, a lot of the quantities of the biocides are being washed out during the life cycle of the product. This study aims to map in what extent biocides are being
Studien syftade till att undersöka om eventsegmentering kan utgöra en grund för minnesbaserad tidsbedömning i det episodiska minnet och huruvida objektets semantiska association till kontexten påverkar integrationen av minnet. Eventsegmentering etablerar upplevelsen av en händelse genom att särskilja vad som händer nu från det som hände nyss och bryter därmed ner tidsförlopp till enstaka händelserThe study aimed to investigate whether event segmentation can provide a basis for memory-based time assessment of episodic memory and whether object association to the context affects subsequent memory integration. Event segmentation establishes the experience of an event by distinguishing what is happening now from what just happened and thus breaks down the time-course of an event to include sub
Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th
More and more findings have been published showing that sedentary behavior is causing health hazards that can be independent of the effects from physical activity. Even if you go to the gym every day you might still suffer health effects from your otherwise sedentary life. Sicknesses as obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes and back pain are strongly related to the sedentary lifestyle. To instead
This Master Thesis was made under and in collaboration with Pond Healthcare Innovation for Celgene. Celgene is a global pharmaceutical company developing treatments for cancer and other severe, immune, inflammatory conditions. In March 2015 Celgene launched a new oral treatment called Otezla (effective substance aprimelast) on the Nordic market. With this move they entered the arena of Psoriasis a
How do English speaking women from USA and England who live in Sweden relate to nationality and inclusion and how is this affected by ethnicity, age, sex, and language skills? The aim of the study is to present an immigrant group often overlooked in Swedish research and immigration debates. With an intersectionality perspective and theories about nationality and in/exclusion the material which con
Chocaya Basin ligger i den nordvästra delen av dalen Cochabamba i Bolivia, där ett halvtorrt klimat råder. Den ökande befolkningen är beroende av lokala akviferer för dricksvatten och jordbruk, där brunnar används för att utvinna vattnet. Låg nederbörd, främst under torrperioden, och uppförandet av nya hus eller fabriksbyggnader, påverkar infiltrationen av vattnet i jorden och därmed akviferernas The Chocaya Basin is situated in the north-western part of the Valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia, where a semi-arid climate prevails. The increasing population is dependent on local aquifers for drinking water and irrigation. Wells are used to extract water. Scarce amount of rainfall, mainly during the dry season, and constructions of buildings, are reducing the infiltration of water in the soil and c
This thesis was conducted at Enics manufacturing unit in Västerås. This site employs 360 people out of a total of 2400 globally. The site produces electronics and is specialised toward low volumes and spare parts. The site has problems with high inventory levels, long lead times and less than preferred service level towards customers. This is the reason for the project which will investigate if it

Arsenic is an element and has a natural part in the earth with a content of 1,5-2,0 mg/kg in the earth crust. Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock and the Swedish bedrock contains anything from 1,0-40 mg/kg. Arsenic is more poisonous in its inorganic form than in its organic. The two most common types of inorganic arsenic are arsenite and arsenate. Arsenite (AsIII) is the most acute poisonous
