En innovationsprocess ska ta en idé hela vägen från forskning till marknaden. Detta är dock en lång process i vilken många barriärer kan uppstå. För det här examensarbetet har en fältstudie gjorts på ett stort svenskt industriföretag, med syftet att undersöka deras materialinnovationsprocess. De har upplevt att de möter utmaningar när resultaten av en innovation ska överföras från Forskning och UAn innovation process should take an idea all the way from research to the market. However, this is a long process in which many barriers can appear. For this thesis, a case study has been conducted, at a large Swedish industrial manufacturing company, with the purpose to examine their material innovation process. They have experienced challenges when transferring the results of the innovation fr

This study has its starting point in a public debate about disruptive behaviors at public libraries in Sweden. In 2019 a legal bill was proposed, which would make it possible to deny persons who disturb the order at libraries, access to libraries. Representatives from library organizations criticized the proposed bill, stating it is contrary to the current Swedish Library Act. The main purpose wit

This research evaluated the existence and magnitude of different gender gap dimensions in the Mexican labor markets using a cross-section database from 2018. We also analyze how narrowing these gender gaps can contribute to reduce poverty levels in Mexico. Our results rejected the existence of a gender gap between formal and informal occupations in Mexico. This represents new evidence for the lite

This essay seeks to examine how people with what Marc Hertogh defines as an external legal consciousness perceive the concept of consent as it applies to sexual relations. Furthermore, the essay also seeks to examine how the concept of voluntariness is perceived by people with what Hertogh defines as an internal legal consciousness as it applies to sexual relations. The essay employs a combination

Problem description: The case company, a packaging company in Lund, Sweden, operates in an industry where high productivity is becoming increasingly crucial to remain the industry leader. One of the most rapidly growing automating technologies today is RPA. The case company has adopted this technology. As of now the case company uses a centralized approach in implementing RPA which means that the

Termen ’bencell’ omfattar ett antal celltyper som finns i benvävnad hos ryggradsdjur. Från fossil av ryggradsdjur har det beskrivits bevarade mikrostrukturer vars morfologi överensstämmer med den bencellstyp som kallas osteocyter. Det har dock presenterats olika hypoteser och idéer huruvida dessa strukturer bör betraktas som riktiga benceller eller inte med tanke på att det är svårt att bevisa derThe term ‘bone cell’ is used to describe a number of cell types which are prevalent in vertebrate bony tissues. Microstructures with a morphology consistent with a specific type of bone cell termed ‘osteocytes’ have previously been described from vertebrate fossils. However, different hypotheses have been presented whether these entities are to be regarded as true bone cells or not. Different view

Klimatförändringarna har många konsekvenser som präglar vår vardag och definierar vår framtid. Med detta sagt så syftar detta arbete till att studera dessa konsekvenser och hur jordbruket i Sverige bör anpassa sig efter dessa. Jordbruket blir på många sätt påverkat av klimatförändringarna genom förändrade nederbördsmönster, ökade temperaturer och intensivare angrepp från skadedjur och växtsjukdomaThe global phenomenon of climate change will influence everyone, it is just a question of how much. Agriculture is one of the areas in which climate change will have a great impact. The basis of this paper consists of a literature search and two interviews with experts on climate change and agriculture. The consequences of climate change threaten the national food security of all nations. However,

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically explore how a regulatory, community and organizational stakeholder perceive their role in the context of sustainability reporting as well as identify convergence and divergence between these different stakeholder perceptions. Methodology: We chose a qualitative-abductive approach to our case study of sustainability reporting by interviewing th

This essay seeks to address how power asymmetries or structural biases may affect how European Union (EU) law considers market actors and the freedom to conduct a business, combining EU legal methodology with feminist and queer legal and political theory. The research finds that the EU is a purposive order, whose primary objectives inform the EU legal order and the development of EU law. EU functi

This essay explores how trustworthiness is created, established, and constructed in regard to women subjected to sexual violence, analysing significant features which may be decisive in court’s assessment of rape. The construction of the plaintiff’s trustworthiness and its impact on the legal process will be analysed in ten Swedish court cases about rape and through interviews with four women work

Mitt examensarbete har varit en utforskande process i hur arkitektur förhåller sig till landskap och natur. Arbetet har resulterat i ett exempel på hur mitt förhållningssätt skulle kunna anpassa sig och landa på en plats med vissa givna förutsättningar. Exemplet tar form i ett galleri och café vars arkitektur följer och ställer ut platsens subtila förändringar och övergångar i landskap och natur. My degree project has been an explorative process in how architecture relates to the landscape and its nature. The result of my work is an example in how my approach could adapt to a place with certain given conditions. The example is portrayed as a gallery and café whose architecture follows and exhibit the subtle changes and transitions in the landscape and surrounding nature. The location of

A majority of the grown up population in Sweden spend a large amount of time working, however we rarely discuss or reflect upon the role of work in our lives. Drawing on qualitative data collected through interviews, this study examines how professional workers ascribe meaning to their work. This is done by using a two-dimensional model of four different pathways to a meaningful work and a theoret

While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national

This thesis aimed to work with different techniques of building archaeology, both traditional and digital. The goal was to define the possibilities offered by the “traditional” and the “digital” building archaeology but also to show the limits of these two methods. The main issue of discussing methodological problems in building archaeology was the need to define digital building archaeology, espe

Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to

En fraktur på underarmen är väldigt vanligt och ibland blir det fel under läkningsprocessen. Då kan benet bli deformerat och orsaka stora problem för den drabbade och man behöver korrigera med en operation. Det här projektet tar fram ett hjälpmedel för kirurgen som både kortar ner operationstiden och som förbättrar operationsresultatet för patienten.The purpose of this master thesis was to expand an existing medical modelling software, Segment 3DPrint, and develop a tool for surgical planning for corrective osteotomy of the forearm. Fractures of the forearm are very common and in some patients the fractured bone unites abnormally, causing a deformation. This is called a malunion and can affect the functionality of the wrist. The patients expe

The purpose of this project is to make an exploration on how to strengthen the connection between a product and a user. This includes my desire to work with analogue Modular synthesizers and use the human senses like sound and touch to create an experience. ''The initial brief is to create set ups that introduce the analogue modular synthesis to interested beginners to later advanced / se
