The aim of this study was to investigate close relatives' experiences of their role as long-term home care givers to a somatically ill partner, to increase the understanding of informal care in society. The method chosen was text analysis of five biographies. In analyzing the results, I applied the following theoretical approaches: Goffman’s dramaturgical approach, Linton’s role theory, and fi

Deriving from an increased awareness of the devastating effects of global warming consequences, the interest for green bonds is growing at an explosive pace. However, researchers and practitioners have raised concerns about the challenges of assessing green bonds. Responding to a well-defined research gap stemming from identified challenges to assess green bonds, the primary purpose of this study

Bakgrund och problemdiskussion: Detaljhandeln utvecklas ständigt och i snabb takt på grund av en ökad digitalisering. I samband med det har kunden fått en allt mer avgörande roll. Fysiska butikslokaler behöver därför användas mer effektivt och ett sätt att göra det är med hjälp av pop-up-butiker. Pop-up-butiker är flexibla och finns endast på marknaden en begränsad period. Butikskonceptet pop-up ä

This paper evaluates the low-cost optical sensor OPC-N3 from Alphasense as a suitable scientific instrument for measuring particulate matter levels in air, both outdoors and in- doors. The time-keeping and data-retrieval was additionally improved by connecting the OPC-N3 to an Arduino microcontroller equipped with a real-time clock (RTC) module and an external SD card. Inter-comparison tests demon

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study was to gain an understanding of consumers' perceptions of the phenomenon of brand activism, and how they respond to it.

Based on these three literature streams we identified relevant key concepts and c

Background Managing risk has become a crucial challenge for supply chain managers. In a complex supply chain, there are relations that have to be managed from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer, and there is a lot of room for unforeseen challenges. The need to capture risk has for a long time been high, but due to the complexity of modern supply chains, uncertain developments are h

Allteftersom företag har börjat att ompröva sättet de designar, tillverkar och avyttrar produkter inom ramarna för hållbar utveckling så har tillverkare av akustiska produkter varit långsamma ur startblocken. Majoriteten av akustiska produkter är fortfarande primärt sammansatta av nyråvara från petrokemiska resurser, vilka har en signifikant påverkan på miljön. Det är problematiskt ur både en miljAs industries have begun to rethink the way they design, make and dispose of products for the purpose of sustainable development, manufacturers of acoustic products have been slow off the mark. The majority of acoustic products are still made of primarily virgin material made from petrochemical resources, which have a significant impact on the environment. This is problematic from an environmental

Kvinnors tillgång och plats på det tekniska fältet har länge varit problematisk. Trots flertalet satsningar för att få in fler tjejer på ingenjörsutbildningarna, har förändringen varit liten visar statistiken. Detta problem finns redan från tidig skolålder, under utbildningarna och efter. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka den upplevelsen av att vara underrepresenterad kvinnlig civilingenjörsst

Denna uppsats behandlar dödsbodelägarens tillgång i oskiftad kvarlåtenskap samt vilka rättigheter respektive skyldigheter som delägarskap i dödsbon medför. I egenskap av dödsbodelägare, tilldelas var delägare en andelsrätt motsvarande sin respektive lott, i en förmögenhetsmassa bestående av arvlåtarens efterlämnade egendom (den s.k. kvarlåtenskapen). Under utredningen av boet förvaltar delägarna gThis thesis addresses the share of estate and what rights and obligations, the share of the estate entails. Party to an estate are given a share corresponding to their inheritance share in the total assets, which the estate is consisting of. During the estate's administration, parties manage the estate before they inherit the estate. The administration characterizes the estate as a special leg

Bakgrund: I bygg- och anläggningsbranschen skedde 1470 olyckor år 2018 där några även ledde till dödlig utgång (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2018). Utbildningen till maskinförare idag är både lång men grundlig och ger maskinföraren de förutsättningar som krävs för att framföra ett anläggningsfordon på ett säkert sätt på en byggarbetsplats. Genom regleringar från arbetsmiljöverket och förebyggande åtgärder aBackground: In the construction industry a total 1470 accidents occurred 2018 where some of them also led to fatal outcome (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2018). The qualification to be a construction machine operator are both long and thorough and will give the operator the prerequisites to convey the construction machine in a safe way on different construction sites. Through regulations from Arbetsmiljöverk

Verkligheten tycks vara det största problemet när verkligheten ska motarbetas. Malmö stads miljömål och flera av stadens styrdokument förespråkar en ökning av grönytorna. Men istället ökar hårdgörandet. Privata trädgårdar kan fungera som välbehövliga gröna oaser för växter, djur och trädgårdsägare. Men resultatet för denna uppsats visar att de flesta trädgårdsägarna har byggt verandor och/eller stThe city of Malmö reaches only 2 of its 19 environmental targets and one of the reasons is that the hard surfaces increases in the urban area. There is however a general trend for private house owners to harden their gardens and the city of Malmö has limited actions to address this issue. One action is to inform the private house owners of the positive effects of vegetation/soft surfaces and rainw

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka hur massmedia samt tingsrätten har konstruerat föreställningar kring gärningspersoner och offer i sina beskrivningar av fallet Bobby 2006. Fallet kom att bli uppmärksammat inom svensk massmedia, och har därför valts ut i syfte att studera forskningsfrågan. Studien har präglats av ett socialkonstruktionistiskt förhållningssätt där det primära teoreti

Data as a commodity is undervalued for its economic value. Moreover, the concept is difficult to define from the perspective of EU competition law. Increasingly, companies are relying on consumer data to streamline and modernize their business models and provide faster, more efficient and even cheaper services in some cases. In this thesis the role of data in digital markets will be assessed throu

Block copolymer lithography is a very promising candidate for nanoscale fabrication and is economically viable. It provides a high resolution, inexpensive, and straightforward approach to nano-size patterning. In this thesis, fundamental concepts and theories of block copolymer lithography are introduced. A well-controlled dynamic solvent vapor annealing chamber is built, and the best annealing co

Contract law has traditionally been regulated by national law which has raised certain problems in cross-border transactions caused by the divergences in domestic contract law among the Member States. Therefore, the diversity of national law has been increasing the challenges in practice for entrepreneurs which is causing a lack of legal certainty, uniformity and creates serious obstacles that hin

The European Union faces new challenges, as the labour market we know today, is being disrupted in terms of technological development. The future job market brings new challenges, which must be addressed by the EU. This thesis seeks to explore how a small state can gain influence by acting as a smart state, in context of a future labour market. The study will be based on a case study, which invest

Human trafficking is considered one of the gravest violations of human rights. It dramatically deprives people of their humanity, dignity and freedom but is also considered a serious threat against national security and international peace. From traditionally being the crime of choice for criminal networks, human trafficking has been increasingly incorporated as a strategy by terrorist organisatio

Recent public opinion research and elite deliberation has established a particular interest in galvanizing an EU army to better enforce a sense of integration, stability and strengthin the Union. This article proposes an alternative mechanism, privileging Richard Rosecrance’s concept of the ‘virtual state’ as anequally important and worthyfactor contributing to all those aspects. The fourdefining

In light of the ongoing pandemic, Covid-19, questions are raised about how well prepared countries have been. There are discussions that many countries have been poorly prepared, for example with regard to emergency storage of medical equipment and hospital care facilities. This may be due to various factors. An interesting aspect to investigate is whether the structure of a country’s political sy
