Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur svenska konsumenter mellan 18 år och äldre förhåller sig till hållbara last mile-leveranser vid användandet av e-handel, för att med utgångspunkt i konsumenternas värdeskapande använda detta som underlag för huruvida teorin om the seven rights of logistics borde uppdateras för att inkludera ett bredare hållbarhetstänk. För att kunna undersöka detta består up

Bakgrund: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter i att finna mening och värde i aktiviteter. Dock är dessa typer av subjektiva upplevelser viktiga för god hälsa. Vardag i balans (VIB) är en arbetsterapeutisk gruppintervention som ämnar främja upplevelsen av mening och värde i aktivitet. Trots att forskning visar att sociodemografiska aspekter kan frambringa skillnader i värdeuppleveBackground: People with mental illness often have difficulties experiencing meaning and value in occupations although these types of experiences are important for well-being. Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) is an occupational therapy group intervention intended to promote these experiences. Although research shows that sociodemographic aspects can yield differences in experience of value, there are

In recent years, more than 2000 jurisdictions worldwide have declared a climate emergency, which covers over 1 billion people. While such declarations have been found to have the potential to spark transformative climate action, the scholarly knowledge of this emerging phenomenon remains limited and there is much disagreement about the merits and effects of climate emergency framings. Moreover, no

The EU-US Privacy Shield Decision on data transfers between the EU and the US was found invalid by the CJEU Schrems II ruling on 16 July 2020. After Schrems II, discussions among scholars and practitioners on legal challenges of international data transfers resulting from the case has gained much tension during the past years. Given the significant amount of data that flows between organizations a

This thesis examines the Satanic cult in horror film – historically and in contemporary horror films. A quantitative analysis of horror films with themes of Satanism and Satanic cults is presented, in which three particular upswings in the themes are seen – one in the 1970s, one in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as one from the mid 2010s and onwards. In the thesis’ second part, The Conjur

Stjärnorna som vi ser på natthimlen bor i stjärnhopar med varierande storlek och ålder. De största och äldsta är de så kallade klotformiga stjärnhoparna. Dessa kan innehålla allt från några hundra tusen till flera miljoner stjärnor, varav majoriteten är samlade i en extremt tät kärna i hopens centrum. På grund av den höga densiteten så interagerar dessa stjärnor väldigt frekvent med varandra. DettSince 2015, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA scientific collaboration (LVK) has detected gravitational waves from more than 90 merging compact object binaries using ground-based interferometric detectors. Compact objects orbiting in binary systems emit gravitational waves leading to a loss of energy. This results in the decay of the orbit leading to the merger of these inspiralling objects. Around 83 of the m

Collection management is an important part of the museum because they have to take care of their collections in order for them to be presentable for the public and preserved for the future. In Sweden all public museums must follow the museum law, which requires them to work with active collection management.

To cope with loneliness, people have used different ways, and listening to music is one of them. The p

This thesis aims to discover how Baltic and Nordic regional identities are discussed in 448 speeches by the presidents of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania during 1991 – 2021, and how regional identities in these countries may have changed over time. The research is conducted as a critical discourse analysis, with an addition of elements of comparative analysis. The theoretical framework consists of A

Business incubators are a fundamental part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Sweden. One of the key actors in these institutions are CEOs and managers. However, research on how they lead and manage is still in the early stages, and it mainly addressed the topic from a male perspective. For this reason, the authors of the present thesis focus on getting a deeper understanding of how women leaders

Idag står återbruk i fokus och desto fler försöker inkorporera det i sina projekt. Problemet är att många inte vet hur och att en rädsla verkar finnas. På grund av att det inte finns processer för hur arbete med återbruk bör utföras, väljs ofta den traditionella vägen med jungfruliga material. Om återbrukat material ska bli det som används i första hand måste riskerna minimeras, både för byggherraReuse of construction materials has never been more relevant and actors are trying to incorporate in their projects. The problem is people not knowing how and that there seems to exist a fear. Since there’s almost no existing processes regarding reused materials, the stakeholders choose the more traditional way with virgin materials. If reused materials is going to be the primary choice the risks

A fundamental part of modern medicine is the ability to study and analyze images, especially for diagnostic purposes. A relatively new imaging system is photoacoustics, where laser- and ultrasound technology are combined to create images in a non-invasive way. It is absorption of the laser that is responsible for the creation of the ultrasound signal. Thus, it is the optic properties of tissue tha

Med kriser och konflikter i Europa ökar intresset för självförsörjning av mat och energi, och viljan att fasa ut fossila bränslen. Skåne, med sina bördiga marker, är bland de regioner i Sverige som har bäst förutsättningar att bidra med både mat och energi från jordbruket. Men medan behovet av råvaror från jordbruket ökar, så förblir tillgången på åkermark begränsad. Konkurrensen om råvaror från jBioenergy derived from agricultural biomass has potential to phase out fossil energy sources while strengthening the bioeconomy. To estimate the agricultural sector's potential to meet the rising demand for renewable energy sources, it is crucial to understand what motivate farmers to sustainably increasing agricultural feedstock production. Through eight semi-structured interviews, and online

This master thesis focuses on the creation of an algorithm to perform multispectral imaging of a metallic target using X-rays. The generation of an ultrashort high-power low-divergent X-ray beam is performed by means of a Ti:Sapphire laser driven wake-field plasma accelerator. The X-rays result from synchrotron radiation, and are therefore broadband. The spectrum will be characterized, along with
