The aim of this study was to examine how participants were described in the final report of four different projects with the aim to help individuals go from financial aid to supporting themselves. These people received financial aid of some form, and this aid was dependent on their participation in the projects. The reports were processed and analyzed with the help of qualitative content analysis
Regenerative medicine offers a great prospect for curing diseases. Scientists are using direct conversion to reprogram fibroblasts, a kind of skin cell, into neurons in an attempt to cure Parkinson's disease. Even though successful conversion has been done with embryonic cells, a more practical method for future treatment would be to reprogram cells directly from the adult individual. It has h
The modernisation of the Global South is a complex and often overwhelming task. However, one of the most cross-cutting issues is often overlooked. The arena of energy poverty – specifically electric poverty in rural areas and how state policies tackle this problem - is one that often discussed in the wider development discourse. By answering the questions ‘How is the problem of access to electrici
The aim of this study is to investigate professionals’ perception of the project Sluta skjut in Malmö, Sweden. This will be done by examining the outcomes of the project, which are identified by the professionals along with their perception of the implementation of the Group Violence Intervention strategy (GVI). The chosen method is qualitative semi-structured interviews with 10 workers from vario
Sound ranging is a method to locate sources of sound waves using microphones or other types of receivers at known reference positions. Nowadays, these receivers can be made both very small and powerful, lasting for a long time on a single battery charge, making them suitable for longtime outdoor purposes such as detecting artillery fire or other loud sounds. In this master thesis, we present a sou
The aim of the study is to examine how young women conceive their empowerment processes through access to ICTs, provided by the non-governmental organization IT for Children. The thesis is a qualitative case study of young women’s empowerment. Accordingly, a minor field study was conducted in the village Dixcove in the south of the western region of Ghana. Material was gathered through semi-struct
This dissertation examines the change that has occurred in the discourse around population growth in Anglo-Saxon mainstream media. The research focuses on the representation of the “Third World woman” in the context of population control and environmental threats. Drawing on postcolonial feminism and post-development theory, this dissertation highlights how women and their fertility are constructe
This thesis presents a numerical study of the beyond mean field extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a two-component self-bound Bose-Einstein condensate, supplemented by analytical work. We extend the quasi-two-dimensional system's mean field particle-particle contact interaction by quantum fluctuations (LHY-correction). We investigate the formation of self-bound droplets without external co
After careful review of the ongoing research on bubble detection, this thesis deals with the potentiality of a bubble in the Swedish housing market in the past decade. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed procedure based on two models. Based on the augmented Dickey-Fuller test along with a forward recursive regression to identify unit-root behavior, the Phillips, Wu, and Yu&#

Being a mother with a history of Eating Disorders Eating disorders are a growing concern among women. This paper examines the possible effect this can have on mothers using three different concepts taken from the same perspective, the symbolic interactionalism. It gives a view of both some of the current research available, a few interviews with women and some women that have been writhing in dif
Genom experimentella mätningar har vi tagit fram grafer för luftflöden och förlustfaktorer i spalt mellan vind- och regnskydd i putsade tvåstegstätade fasader. Detta är av betydelse för att veta att inträngande fukt kan torka ut så att konstruktionen inte tar skada. Mätningar gäller för konstruktioner med spaltbildande läkt från Lindab och Europrofil samt även för fallet med helt tom spalt. ResultBy experimental measurements we have developed charts for air flows in the space between the wind- and rain cover in parget two-step sealed facade. This is a presumption to give penetrating moisture a possibility to dry-out and the construction not to take damage. All measurements are based on structures with ventilated air space with profiles from Lindab and Europrofile. The results are then comp
Uppsatsen utreder plenumbestämmelsens tillämpningsproblem inom straffrätten och hur förutsebarheten för den enskilde påverkas av att plenumbestämmelsen lyser med sin frånvaro. Prejudikaträtten är inte absolut i Sverige. Men detta innebär inte att ändringar av prejudikat ska ske med lätthet, utan en strävan att upprätthålla förutsebarheten för den enskilde är viktig. Med anledning av detta finnerThe essay examines the absence of the application by the Supreme Court of plenary sessions, which is necessary for establishment of precedent in the Swedish legal system, within the penal law and how the predictability in individual cases thus suffers. The precedence principal is not consistently adhered to by the Swedish legal system. This does not suggest that changes of precedent should be ma
While discussing the possibility of investigating the polysemy of an English profanity as the topic for this essay, Dylan Glynn, who is supervising this work, pointed to an (albeit old) edition of an Oxford English Dictionary resting on a shelf in his office in order to look up the definition[s] of the lexeme fuck. However, the entry was nowhere to be found, and this only added to the interest of
The aim of this master’s thesis, as suggested by the title, is to study the usage of film in cultural history exhibitions. The subject arouse from queries such as: why are films so often included in cultural history exhibitions? And what do the films provide the visitors with? The thesis sees a distinct difference between the use of film in cultural history museums and the use of film in art museu

Ett framgångsrikt varumärkesarbete förutsätter att medarbetaren förstår och uttrycker organisationens vision och värden, samtidigt är medarbetaren åsidosatt inom forskningsfältet varumärkeskommunikation. Den här studien lyfter därför fram medarbetarens perspektiv i den komplexa offentliga organisationens varumärkesarbete. Syftet är att genom kvalitativa intervjuer skapa en djupare förståelse för mAlthough successful branding requires that co-workers comprehend and express the vision and core values of the organization, the co-worker is neglected during the brand research phase. Therefore, this study highlights the co-worker perspective in the complex work with branding within a public organization.

Every now and then some politician or political scientists argues publicly that Sweden's democracy would benefit from a change from the current electoral system, PR-system, to a First Past the Post system. A country's electoral system is far from the only tool that can develop the democracy. However, it is a rather forgotten tool. This thesis examines the advantages and disadvantages of Sw
