The crisis of care refers to a crisis of social reproduction that is inherent to the capitalist system. Swedish welfare politics have gone through a process of changing

Galectin-3 is a protein that is involved in many physiological processes such as metastasis, T-cell regulation etc. which makes it a good drug target for the medicinal chemist. In a paper made by Doak ete al (2015) macrocyclization emerged as an interesting strategy for new drug design as macrocycles remained orally active in chemical space previously thought of as “unsuitable” as per the classica

Plastic pollution is a cross-national environmental and societal challenge that needs to be addressed from the point of view of global supply chains. The circular economy (CE) has emerged as an alternative paradigm to the traditional “take-make-waste” models of production and consumption to create a closed-loop system so that plastic is trapped in the economy and not in the environment. This resea

This paper is a study of how users on Instagram interact on Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. American Dirt was the book we studied for interaction between users and Oprah.

Technical advancements and changes to the environment imply that industries may experience technology shifts. During those times, mature manufacturing companies are vulnerable, and it is of outmost importance they can respond to the new circumstances. To do so, mature manufacturing companies need to know which consequences they will experience to their offer, business model, resources and capabili

Obesity rates have been increasing at an alarming pace across the globe however, little has been done to address the issue even in high income countries. To further problematize this issue, many researchers and public health officials have conceptualized obesity as being individually based, rather than analyzing it from a structural perspective. This challenge will be extended to developing countr

This thesis thesis explores what desires and motivations lay behind employees’ succession to managerial positions in a store environment. Previous research focuses on how to develop good leaders, rather than how to make people want to become leaders, which is why this is an important topic. The method used is a qualitative case study at IKEA in Sweden, where a combination of qualitative questionna

Drilling is an essential hole-making operation in the modern industrial world. Drilling operation is comparatively challenging in composites when compared to metals. Composites are heterogeneous and possess a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes it a challenge in composite drilling. The hole quality has two major defects affecting the reliability of CFRP composites: Uncut fibers and Delaminat

This thesis examines women’s subcultural participation based on ethnographic fieldwork and 73 interviews with women within the skateboarding and rave cultures. The study explores and develops how we view female participation. From a theoretical perspective, subcultural scholars have a tradition of assuming subcultures as masculine, viewing masculinity as the norm for authenticity. These assumption

Many consider organic farming to be a solution to agriculture’s potential agricultural crises. Accordingly, the European Union’s Organic Action Plan aims to increase the share of organically farmed acreage drastically over the next decade. Research concerning the drivers of organic farming expansion could prove vital, and a wide range of empirical literature explores the topic. However, previous s

Given the fact that experimental studies have found an influence on legal decision making by the court’s impression of the defendant, while at the same time the defendant has been foreseen in research on courtroom interaction and emotion, it is highly significant to study the way the defendant interact during criminal trials. This thesis is based on an ethnographic-inspired study conducted in Swed

The recent growth of the Swedish prison population and police force suggests a stark reversal from the small, rehabilitation oriented criminal justice system described in the “Nordic penal exceptionalism thesis.” This paper is based on a narrative analysis of documents published by the Government Offices of Sweden in the collection titled “A Safer Sweden” from 2013 to 2021. This research aims to u

Mobile social media (MSM) nowadays plays a vital role in communication among the users, which triggered the authors to investigate the phenomenon of information anxiety on MSM in depth. This paper traces the historical developments using selected literature, and proposes a conceptual model (CM) that is ma

Religion är en del av många människors liv. En högst personlig och på vissa sätt en oföränderlig tradition med budskap från en högre makt som omöjligt kan förändras eller omtolkas. Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att skapa en diskussion om hur och i så fall på vilket sätt en religiös text övergår till att betraktas som profan. Jag är inte ute efter att skapa ett nytt normativ utan min uppsats bör

The Swedish higher education system experienced a dramatic expansion since the 1960s. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, four higher education institutions obtained university status. As a result, scholars based in these universities enjoyed greater access to research resources. This study aims to utilize the 1999-2005 expansion to estimate the effects of increased access to research funds on scie

The novel presents a Baudrillardian hyperreal situation for the individual characters in the story. Their desires and goals are shaped and directed by the environment in which they live. This essay builds on the work of scholars who have approached G
