This paper examines how worries about war affect the political participation of women and men in Ukraine. The analysis is based on secondary data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey 2017-2020. By constructing linear regressions, I examined whether there is a correlation between the worries about the war and the political activity of women and men in Ukraine. This allowed us to see how
The purpose of this study has been to understand how brands construct female body trends through the use of marketing representations over time. It was considered of relevance to analyze these social constructions as female consumers have been portrayed as well as objectified and exploited over the years in different industries. Ultimately, the effects of these social constructions which convey s
This study aims to investigate how brand extensions within streaming services affect consumers’ attitudes and emotional attachment to the parent brand. Beyond fit and quality, we provide an explanation of the connection between brand extensions, emotional attachment, and consumer attitude. This research adopts a critical realist ontology, interpretivism epistemology, and abductive approach through
Healthcare professionals in Sweden have a legal obligation to acknowledge and provide support to children as next of kin and to notify social services in case of suspicion that a child is in harm or may be at risk of harm. Despite this, studies show a lack of reported cases to social services, it also shows that the work with children as next of kin is not as extended as it should be. Swedish rese
Trots att Sverige är bland de mest jämställda länderna i världen är mäns våld mot kvinnor ett samhällsproblem av omfattande karaktär. Konsekvenserna av detta våld är betydande, både i form av samhällskostnader och personligt lidande. Poliser har en avgörande roll vid dessa våldssituationer.

The police have a crucial role in this issue. This thesis aims to investigate attitudes amongst police students in Sweden towards different types of violence, and if
A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. The unit cell which is repeatable in alThe transport of heat from hot to cold mediums is called heat transfer. It can be used for either heating or cooling machines, electronics food, etc. in industry. Examples are the cooling of a car engine or recovering heat from a power plant turbine. In these types of applications, it is practical to use fluids of high heat capacity as mediums for transferring heat as this means they that they are
The study investigated how a case study through method triangulation can contribute to anuanced and detailed understanding of what challenges and strategies can be experienced in the development of group dynamics in a virtual team. With a theoretical basis in Tuckman phases of group development, Systems centered theory and An integrated model of group development, the team's attachment to the
Byggbranschen är en av de mest klimattunga branscherna och står för cirka en femtedel av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. För att möta samtidens klimatkris krävs det att byggbranschens utsläpp minskar. En av de faktorer som orsakar mest utsläpp inom byggbranschen är framställningen och användandet av nyproducerad betong. Trots betongens stora inverkan på klimatet fortsätter byggbranschen aThe study focuses on the organizational work of reuse of concrete elements. Reusing concrete elements in new buildings could be one of the solutions of how the construction sector becomes more environmentally friendly. Throughout this study factors like political decisions, governmental instruments, laws and regulations as well as cooperation between organizations within the construction sector ar
The aim of this study was to examine experienced substance abuse treatment among those who at some point have received health care because of addiction in Sweden. The method used was a quantitative survey that was sent out to different websites directed to people who currently have or have had addiction issues for which they got treatment, with the purpose of comparing experienced substance abuse
Existing pick and place robots are either heavy or have a limited workspace for vertical operations. Since there is no robot today that are both light and have a good vertical workspace, this leads to a gap in the market. With the use of the laws of physics Cognibotics is trying to fill these gaps in the market, by developing new fast and lightweight robots. These new robots are designed to have a
The growing number of users and the changes in customer behaviour over the last few years caused new hype in the e-commerce industry. This imposed pressure resulted in some technical disruptions in those systems. Software development teams responsible for creating and maintaining these systems, in their turn, were affected by the sudden shift to remote work. The current study aims to investigate s
This thesis challenges the treatment of trust income received in a country with no trusts in its legal system in light of freedom of establishment and free movement of capital. Can provisions of a Member State that has decided not to have trusts in its legal system make the transfer of shares or even the establishment of a trust elsewhere less favourable? This question, as the starting point of t

Using data from 159 participants (Mage = 27.11 years; SD = 6.47; 55% men), we investigate the relationships between personality traits, acculturation towards heritage and mainstream culture, and sociocultural adaptation among non-Western immigrants in Sweden. A series of regression analyses have shown conscientiousness and agreeableness significantly related to heritage culture identification, whi
Some say that if Sweden join the Euro, it will increase the welfare in the economy. On the other hand, there are those who are skeptical toward Sweden joining the Euro, because it might risk the control over the currency to dropped and for the competitiveness to be lost. The international trade is large and important facto to increase the GNP growth. That is why this paper tend to examine to what
The threat of resistant bacteria is an increasing issue that has emphasized the need for therapeutic strategies. One possible drug candidate is the carbohydrate sialic acid, which adorns almost every cell surface on mammalian cells. These so-called glycans (defined as carbohydrate-based polysaccharides) are involved in key cell functions, including cell-to-cell recognition in eukaryotes. Because o
The evolution of the digital landscape through emerging technologies presents brand managers with a new context for managing their brand: the metaverse.
