This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observ

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier redovisar att en stor del nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor (NS) överväger att lämna yrket inom det första året. NS uppger att det finns en märkbar kunskapsklyfta mellan grundutbildningen och den kliniska kontexten. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa NS erfarenheter av transitionen in i sjuksköterskeprofessionen under deras första yrkesverksamma år. Metod: Studien är en

The aim of this study is to provide empirical evidence on how the drivers behind SR affect the relationship between MCS and SR. The theoretical framework addresses literature on sustainability reporting and management control systems. We adopted the framework by Malmi and Brown (2008) to define the management control systems. Furthermore, three theoretical perspectives are presented to categorize

Ändrade levnadsvanor i västerländska länder har lett till en ökning av sjukdomar så som IBS, infektioner i mag- och tarmkanal och allergier. Det har dessutom observerats att mikrofloran förändrats och goda bakterier så som Limosilactobacillus reuteri försvunnit. Mag- och tarmkanalen har därmed förlorat sina goda soldater mot patogena fiender med dysfunktionell balans som resultat. Därför är det inThis master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use

Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t

To improve the abrasive wear resistant which is governed by a combination of both high hardness and toughness, WC particles were used to reinforce the Hadfield steel. This latter is known with its good work hardening property. WC is mainly considered for its combination of suitable hardness and toughness. Various characteristic techniques were applied to study the microstructure, interface layer,

This paper examines the editorial practices of authors and editors documented by five authors writing “Debutantbloggen” in 2020. It does so with the intention of examining to what extent editing is made visible by said authors and to what extent this editorial labour can be said to be collaborative. It argues that cultural attitudes rooted in the Romantic myth of the author and of the literary wor

We seek to better understand the relationship between an anisotropic distribution of partons in the initial state of pp-collisions and the amount of elliptic flow. We do this through the implementation of a new model that is based in generating positions for multiparton interactions from the uneven volume created by the overlap of two Gaussians. We then examine how this asymmetric probability dens

Hadfield Steels make up a significant group of steels that can perform with their higher strength, excellent wear resistance, and good formability. To achieve this distinctive behavior along with the alloy compositions, heat treatment is also a vital factor. Alloy carbides can be controlled with various heat treatment techniques, as they directly affect the loss in strength, which eventually leads

När en organisation väljer mellan att hyra eller äga lokaler finns det för- och nackdelar med båda alternativen. Väljer organisationen att gå en slags mellanväg genom att hyra lokaler via ett triple net upplägg står de inför utmaningar unika för den sortens upplägg. Denna rapport har som syfte att ta reda på hur företag kan dra fördel av triple net-avtal samt vilka förutsättningarna för detta äWhen organizations choose between leasing and owning facilities there are benefits and drawbacks associated with both alternatives. If an organisation proceeds with a middle ground solution by leasing using a triple net lease, they will instead face challenges unique for that lease type. The aim of this thesis is to find out how companies can take advantage of triple net leases and what the requ

Syftet med arbetat är att undersöka hur skrivprocesser behandlas i läroböcker för svenska 1 på gymnasiet. Jag undersöker om och hur läroböcker berör skrivprocesser samt om skrivprocesser finns med explicit eller implicit. I uppsatsen granskas fem läroböcker utifrån en kvalitativ metod. Läroböckerna jag valt ut har tryckts efter införandet av lgy11, vilket innebär att jag har valt bort ett historis

This thesis focuses on the prevalence of nationalism in the reception of Chinese animated films. One example of this is the widely-circulated online expression of ‘the rise of Chinese animation’ by engaged audiences and fans. The term ‘ACGN nationalism’ (erciyuan minzu zhuyi) has been coined to describe this phenomenon in previous research. This study aims to contribute to a further exploration of

In the year 2015, the European Union launched the military naval operation EUNAVFORmed SOPHIA through its Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of the European Union as an international security actor in relation to its use of military means. This thesis investigates the claim that introducing military means into the CSDP toolbox wo

The thesis is a case study of the PFAS-contamination of the drinking water in Ronneby municipal 2013. It investigates the decentralized Swedish public administration, and the role sectorization has in distribution of information between different administrative levels. The primary goals are to investigate the degree of sectorization and assess New Public Managements philosophical standpoints about

Tightly knit to the debate about a democratic deficit to the European Union (EU) is that of a communication deficit, meaning that the legitimacy a political entity gain through the communicative processes that ensure insight into politics is flawed. Ideas on how to overcome the communication deficit often revolve around transnationalizing communication between Member States or improving the commun

Policy conflicts in the multilateral Arctic cooperation have gained more space during the past few years. Once established for cooperation and interaction among the Arctic states and indigenous peoples, along with the promotion of sustainable development and environmental protection, the Arctic Council is now facing some challenges in fulfilling its core doctrines. This development is primarily a

Violent political or religious extremism is a threat to both Sweden and other nations, and terror attacks have resulted in casualties and personal injuries. On a less extreme level, extremist conversion impacts individuals negatively and incites conflict within households and families. Youths must be protected from recruitment attempts by violent extremist organisations, whether far right, far lef

The European Union is challenged by systematic, well-resourced, and large-scale information influence activities emanating from Russia. Kremlin’s disinformation and propaganda activities discredit the EU reputation, erode Western values, and impede European integration. Russia’s use of information operations traces back to Soviet propaganda. As propaganda is an old concept, there is overarching li

Previous conclusions in the literature established a decline of the European actorness on a global scale. This article addresses the pertinence of the actorness theory on a regional level based on a comparative descriptive study of bilateral EU-Third countries partnerships in Ethiopia and Uganda. While the European influence appears to be decreasing, the Specific Issue of the refugee crisis - as b

Labour market integration of migrants is key for inclusive societies. Employment protection Legislation (EPL) provides the institutional foundations to facilitate such integration. While the effect of EPL on migrant’s employment is well studied, migrant’s in-work poverty has been relatively overlooked by the academic literature. This thesis therefore seeks to answer the following question: To what
