Vocational education and training (VET) is generally believed to be a tool for the promotion of youth employability ('VET for work') and economic productivity ('VET for growth'). This rather narrow understanding has been challenged by a growing number of development scholars, who argue that it fails both theoretically (to capture the complex nature of human beings), and practically
Foodallergy is on the rise in Sweden and the rest of the world and is a global health issue. Milk protein is the allergen that causes the most allergic reactions in Sweden and those who are highly allergic to milk risk going into an anaphylactic shock which in worst case can be fatal. Eating at a restaurant can be a challenge for a person with food allergy since this is where the majority of aller
I det här examensarbetet undersöks hur en förtätning av Veberöd kan gestaltas, dels på ett hållbart och centrumutvecklande sätt, dels i dialog med Veberöds identitet, historia och karaktär.
Green Bonds are debt instruments issued by companies whose proceeds are used to finance projects that promote sustainability. Consequently, they act as measures of a company’s contribution towards the environment. However, they are often criticised as virtue-signalling. This paper explores the issuance of green bonds on two levels: the corporate level and the role of the region, here the Nordic Re
Meal-kit boxes are considered a solution to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by reducing the food waste in the supply chain and households. Nevertheless, the consumers are concerned about the amount of packaging that comes with such a box, which is connected to higher carbon emissions than a grocery store meal. Thus, HelloFresh, a global market-leader in meal-kit boxes is driven to find more sustai
The purpose of this study was to explore how care managers and counsellors, who meet seniors in their daily work, experience the interaction between social services and health care when it comes to the elderly's mental illness. The study had a qualitative approach and included six semi structured interviews with three care managers in senior care and three counsellors in health care. Questions
Within the last decade, the alt-right movement has migrated from secluded corners of the internet into mainstream media. This migration, and subsequently gained following, challenges traditional views on security by bringing forth social actors that securitize, despite a lack of authority. This takes place on online platforms, such as YouTube, where the political and non-political coexist. This t
My aim of the project was to create a table with the same purpose as the Memphis Group had in the 1980s, furniture that does not have the function as the main topic, the experimental playfulness with shapes, materials, and colors are the primary. My method has focused on the Memphis Group's philosophy, to be inspired by the coloring, design of volumes and materials, and also the aim of provoc
Tidigare forskning har pekat på betydelsen av kundrecensioner och e-förtroendets förhållande till användandet av kundrecensioner. Det har dock varit svårt att kartlägga e-förtroendets påverkan på användbarheten och vilka av kundrecensionens egenskaper som är användbara eftersom den tidigare forskningens resultat varit delvis inkonsekvent. Syftet med denna studie har varit att förstå förhållandet m
1. Conservation biology has traditionally neglected evolutionary processes, which are however fundamental in both the emergence and maintenance of biodiversity. Understanding adaptation can further allow conservationist to make predictions for species responses to changing environments which are vulnerable to climate change, such as mountain areas. 2. The size of a population is often important f
In the face of widely reported declines in insect abundance and diversity, there is a great need for faster and easier insect monitoring methods as the already established methods are time consuming and only target specific species groups. In this study I investigate if metabarcoding of eDNA samples collected from the air can i) detect and identify insect species, ii) help quantify spatial and tem
Aromatic amines are important chemical building blocks used in the pharmaceutical, food and agricultural industries. Greener methods, such as biocatalysis, using renewable feedstocks are needed to replace current synthesis strategies that rely on petrochemicals to achieve a more sustainable amine production. Aromatic amines may be produced from lignin, which is an abundant source of renewable arom
Every laboratory involved with liquid chromatography (LC) has to solve the issue of a supply of mobile phase. In the case of reversed-phase liquid chromatography the mobile phase is polar in nature and most commonly aqueous solutions. With a source of distilled water in-house the possibility of creating a mobile phase supply is within reach. A pair of retired LC systems is being repurposed for an
Although the interpretation process of emotional meaning through email communication has been researched through a broad set of theoretical lenses, this particular area of research has not adequately addressed this process of deriving emotional meaning within the scope of the modern multicultural organization. The cultural diversity found in modern global organizations fosters the research inquiry
Using machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, voice assistant (VA) has become a new social phenomenon and a market game changer in multiple industries. This thesis focuses on the strategic communication challenges brought about by the VA. The researcher applies the theoretical framework of the communication value circle (CVC) and the gatekeeping theory (GK), adopting the applied
Happiness is an affect. Affects are thought to be part of our subjective experiences. In the past, human beings have constructed complex relationships with happiness outside of ourselves. Since sociocultural values laden to happiness established various linkages with objects, happiness seemed to become materialised and accessible, which is expressed, for example, as the UN’s World Happiness Report
This study analyzes a no-win situation in which the Swedish public organization Socialstyrelsen were not able to achieve strategic goals, with the organizations mandate going against prevalent moral cultural ideals. When attempting to perform their mandate Socialstyrelsen was suddenly hit by an online firestorm, hurting their reputation and hindering them in performing their democratic responsibil
