This qualitative case study focused on three companies from three different industries, all representing a different sized employer in Finland. What the companies have in common, is that they are all female-dominated. The study aimed to provide a description on the problems that these employers in female-dominated industries face, when it comes to paid maternity leave. To answer this question, the

Att planera trådlösa nätverk inomhus är en komplicerad uppgift. Flera intressen står i konflikt med varandra så som praktiska och estetiska samt kostnader och täckningskrav. Där det är praktiskt fördelaktigt att sätta en antenn är inte alltid godtagbart ur ett estetiskt perspektiv och en extra antenn för att säkra täckningen kan slå mot budgeten. En metod för att optimera täckningen efter dessa inThe use of wireless communication has grown rapidly over the last three decades. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority estimates that more than 80% of all mobile traffic is received or transmitted from within buildings and the number is expected to reach over 90% in the near future. Meanwhile, the number of energy efficient buildings on the Swedish housing market has increased. This type of build

Effektivare antikroppsproduktion kan leda till bättre forskningsverktyg och framsteg inom antibody microarray Antikroppen har funnit en plats inom analys av proteinsammansättningar. Forskningsverktyget antibody microarray har i det avseendet visat sig vara kraftfullt och används idag flitigt. Krav på produktionen av antikroppsfragment har således ökat, men att producera dessa har visat sig var utAntibodies have proven its usefulness in a variety of technologies, including Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry and Antibody Microarrays. The latter, which has been applied in e.g. biomarker discovery, disease monitoring, prognostics and protein expression profiling, has become a workhorse in affinity proteomics. By recombinantly expressing scFv antibody fragments in E. coli, a high-throughput

Barncancervården förbättras successivt vilket innebär att överlevnaden ökar bland barn och ungdomar och fler barn uppnår vuxen ålder. Detta leder till att fler unga vuxna övergår från barn- till vuxensjukvården. Barnsjukvården och vuxensjukvården har en stor utmaning i att förbättra övergången mellan enheterna och för att nå ett bra resultat krävs samarbete. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur u

Den här studien undersöker hur egenskrivna och/eller lånade idéer kan användas som metod för att utveckla improvisationsförmågan hos elever på estetiska programmet med trumset som huvudinstrument. Studiens deltagare har efter givna ramar fått i uppgift att planera och sedan framföra egna trumsolo-sekvenser, i syfte att fylla på den egna musikaliska verktygslådan med solistiska verktyg. Den här stuThis study examines how original and/or borrowed ideas can be used as a method for high school students with drum profile to develop and improve their ability to improvise. The students of this study have been instructed to prepare and to play drum solo sequences based on certain limitations, in order to fill their musical toolbox with new solistic tools. This study is based on qualitative intervi

Studier visar att när barn upplever akut smärta finns det flera olika faktorer som påverkar om barnet får smärtbehandling. Bristande erfarenhet av smärtbehandling av barn och rädsla att tillfoga onödig smärta är några av orsakerna. Syftet med denna studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att smärtbehandla barn. Studien utfördes som en kvalitativ intervjustudie med induktiv an

The constantly increasing awareness of protecting the environment has put electri- cal roads in the spotlight as an alternative solution to fossil driven means of trans- port. Dan Zethraeus has developed an innovative idea for a prototype electrical road which conductively supplies power to the cars whilst driving. The concept is to place a line of short rail segments in the middle of the drive la

Despite the fact that mindfulness has been gaining a lot of interest and is now being researched in different fields to examine the relevance of it to both physical and psychological health, little to almost nothing has been done in relation to everyday decision making. The present study aims to examine the link of mindfulness and decision making, as well as to identify the possible socio-demograp

Signal is a very important part of the railway. If you place a signal or a different object which is also important in the wrong place, can mean increased safety risks. To ease the work of the consultants in the creation of operational site drawings, the aim is to develop an action plan for the creation of a database, which in turn will be used to create a tool that can be used to automate the pro

Improvisation och klassisk musik är två begrepp som ofta står i en spänd och lite mystisk relation till varandra. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur musik- och instrumentlärare inom den klassiska genren på högskolenivå resonerar kring improvisation. Studien ska belysa deras uppfattning kring vad improvisation är, hur den kan användas i musicerandet på ett praktiskt sätt och hur man kan a

Plasmider är korta cirkulära DNA-molekyler, som kan hittas i de flesta bakterier. Detta projekt handlar om att skapa och testa ett nytt sätt att identifiera plasmider, samt specifika gener på dessa. Principen bygger på att kombinera en tidigare metod kallad “Competitive binding-based optical DNA mapping”, och infärgning av en längre DNA-sekvens med fluoroscerande (självlysande) molekyler, för att Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify

Robotar kan programmeras för att självmant röra sig runt i världen. I takt med att kameror blir både billigare och bättre är det vanligt att robotar använder kameror för att se sin omvärld.As cameras become cheaper and better, using them as sensors have become increasingly more common. This is especially true in robotics and for autonomous robot navigation. This thesis suggests a method where inputs from a single camera are used for making a robot self driving. The robot is assumed to move along planar surfaces, common in indoor environments. The method is based on matching image f

The master thesis seeks to develop a control system for the Crazyflie 2.0 unmanned aerial vehicle to enable aggressive and autonomous flight. For this purpose, different rigid-body models are considered, differing primarily in their parametrisation of rotation. The property of differential flatness is explored and several means of parametrising trajectories in at output space are implemented. A ne

The current study presents a first step in investigating the relationship between organizational identification and its proposed antecedents: construed external image and perceived work-based social support, in a completely virtual setting. Additionally, the study examines work-based social support as a moderating variable of the relationship between construed external image and organizational ide

Daylight has beneficial psychological and health effects that range from enhanced alertness, mood improvements, increased productivity, and well-being. Recently, the interest in non-visual (also called biological) effect of light has increased substantially. Yet, a limited number of research has investigated the non-visual effects of light in Nordic climates. The aim of this thesis is to assess th

Anti-immigration movements are currently enjoying electoral success around the world, despite attempts by incumbent parties to mitigate their influence on voters. This seeming paradox is the main focus of this paper, aiming to investigate whether attempts censor and ostracize antiimmigration attitudes actually mitigate their influence or not. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 investigated whethe
