Foster placements are the most common form of placement for children and every year about 20,000 girls and boys are placed. Although we expect that society treats women and men equally, they are often treated differently based on stereotypical gender norms. The aim of this study was to examine how gender is constructed in women's and men's stories about their time in foster care, in matter

The purpose of this paper is to shed light on museum visitors’ experiences during the pandemic. Precisely, we aim to investigate visitors’ expectations and experiences towards digital channels and identify potential gaps between museums’ offering and what visitors’ are looking for, further providing insights on the perceived advantages and limitations of museums’ digital transformation. The rese

Purpose: The aim is to apply technology acceptance research on elderlies’ use of digital services during a global pandemic, where risks associated with the corresponding physical alternatives are obvious but use is voluntary. By examining constructs based on a modified UTAUT2 framework, the following research question will be answered: Which factors influence elderlies' intention to use digita

In early 2019, a system of sensors, projectors, and software was created for the purpose of improving the experience of entering Sony’s offices in Lund, Sweden. The system attracted attention, both internally and externally, and grew organically in features and scope to meet the needs of its initial customers. Due to its modularity and wide applicability, it came to be known as the Interactive Con

This paper examines whether the impact of inflation on economic growth has changed over the last few decades. It uses linear panel data for 81 countries over the time period 1960-2020. The study builds on the research done by Robert Barro (1995) which concludes that during the time period 1960-1990 inflation had a negative impact on economic growth. This study confirms that Barro’s results hold an

Vid ATLAS-experimentet på forskningsanläggningen Large Hadron Collider vid CERN i Schweiz kan det som mest ske runt en miljard partikelkollisioner per sekund. Den data som produceras utifrån dessa tillåter fysiker att studera de mest grundläggande egenskaperna och beståndsdelarna hos och i naturen. Den modell som idag beskriver dessa är den så kallade standardmodellen. Även om denna har verifieratData compression methods allow more data to be stored within a certain storage framework while still keeping the characteristics of the data in question. At the Large Hadron Collider on the grounds of CERN in Switzerland, limited data storage capability is and has always been an urgent problem. At the ATLAS experiment, one technique which allows researchers to save more data within the same storag

Today, heat and electricity production are two main sources of greenhouse gas emissions. A big share of the overall energy consumption is used to provide buildings with heating and cooling. Smart-energy solutions of heating and cooling could therefore be a more sustainable solution contributing to the green transition of the energy system. ectogrid™ is a new generation of a cooperative heating and

This thesis addresses the sexual violence justice gap in Portugal descriptively by questioning how victim-survivors of these crimes experience and/or perceive criminal justice, including those that have resorted to formal law and those that haven’t Normatively, it reflects on the justice needs of victim-survivors of sexual violence and connects these needs to the restorative justice movement - an

Recent decades have exposed the crisis inherent in the globalized agriculture system characterized by nature commodification, trade liberalization, corporatization and environmental destruction. The crisis is driven by a colonial and neoliberal-capitalist ideology grounded in the supposed universality of western knowledge. Smallholders are particularly affected, with the dominant system threatenin

The objective of this paper is to examine the long-run relationship between CO2 emissions, economic output (GDP), and energy consumption in the US during the period 1960-2015. Energy consumption is investigated in its aggregated and disaggregated form i.e. Fossil Fuel, Nuclear, and Renewable energy to elicit a more precise diagnosis of the emission-energy-GDP nexus. The paper contributes to existi

This paper examines the visual representations about Mexico's socio-political transitions displayed in two photo-essays of Life Magazine in 1938 and 1939 respectively. It attempts to focus on the analysis of the photographs in light of their historical context to examine how the American society has represented Mexico and constructed a mediated reality through Life magazine's photo-essays.

An investigation of how female and male consultants perceive Female Leadership Development within a male-dominated environment and how the organizational conditions of (1) stereotypes and stigma, (2) work-life balance, and (3) lack of role models can influence gender diversity and equality in the top positions and explicitly affect women’s career advancement.

The purpose of this paper is to enhance the understanding of Media Framing of corporate accounting scandals over time.The purpose is fulfilled by adopting a case of how a corporate accounting scandal has been framed. This study uses a qualitative inductive research method. The data analysis was done by using the Gioia methodology as an approach for open coding, which is widely used in qualitative

Growing digitalisation of the global economy is brining irreversible changes in business models and structure of economic relationships. External factors, such as pandemiс, only facilitate the process of remote participation in economic life and performing economic functions. International system of allocation of taxing rights between resident and source states faces new challenges because of ment

Under Covid-19-pandemin har körlivet drabbats hårt och körer runtom i världen har fått ställa in och ställa om sin verksamhet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka åtgärder körer tagit, vilka repetitionsmetoder de använt sig av och hur körledare och körsångare har utvecklats under Covid-19-pandemin. Datainsamlingen har skett genom en enkät riktad till både körledare och körsångare samt en intDuring the Covid-19-pandemic choirs have suffered a lot, and around the world choirs have had to cancel and reorganize their activities. The purpose of this study is to investigate what measures have been taken by choirs, what rehearsal methods have been used and how choir conductors and singers have developed during the Covid-19-pandemic. The study has been performed through a survey to both choi

Short-term tourists visiting formerly residential areas are a potential source of conflict as the short-term tourists change the place they are visiting and represent an inconvenience to residents. This research uses a mixed methods approach with the short-term rent gap framework introduced by Wachsmuth and Weisler (2018) as the quantitative and an additional online expert interview as the qualita

Denna rapport är utförd i kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering (VBRN70) som ges under fjärde läsperioden på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Denna rapport har granskat den handkirurgiska avdelningen på Sahlgrenska sjukhuset i Mölndal ur ett personsäkerhetsperspektiv vid brand. I kombination utav MSBs databas och de 67 bilder tagna utav handledaren Robert McNamee, samt dokument utgivna av kontaktperson Robin This report is a fire safety risk analysis about the hand surgery department of Sahlgrenska hospital in Mölndal. It is a new department since March 2021 in the top four floors of building K. Since the Covid-19 restrictions are still in effect a visit to the hospital was not an option. Therefore, it was harder to gain understanding of fire hazards, layout and materials in the building. Instead, a s
