The aim of the study is to show how the aspect of climate change, relative to the three dimensions of sustainable development, is addressed in municipal plans for light rail. In the study, a comparison is made between the plans for light rail in Lund Municipality and the City of Tampere. The focus of this comparison is on the motivating factors behind planning for light rail and on the expected ef
When different professions meet – a qualitative study of healthcare counselors in interprofessional teams within the healthcare The purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the experiences of healthcare counselors associated with interdicplinary team work in health care and what is considered important factors for the development of the profession itself. This research is based on 7 i
The effects of global warming are apparent and the work towards a sustainable future is underway. In order to reduce the environmental impact caused by the transportation sector, a transition from fossil fuels to those based on renewable resources are important. Using agricultural land to produce raw materials, e.g. wheat or corn, for biofuel is controversial as it competes with food production. F
The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to examine potential moral politics and real politics in the process of prostitution reform, relating to regulation of the sex industry in New Zealand. The last draft of the prostitution reform bill, the latest updated Prostitution Reform Act 2003 and the bill’s parliamentary readings were analysed through document analysis, inspired by perspective analysi
Academic literatures state that the inadequacy of political will, lack of financial incentives, high costs of renewables, low awareness, and prominence of thermal sources is creating barriers to the adoption of renewable energy, despite the favorable environmental conditions for them in Ghana, especially solar. Within the context of sustainability, understanding the mechanisms that have produced t
The purpose of this study is to investigate the presence and management of hazardous substances in the pre-school environment in Malmö city. Work is based on two questions. One concerns the extent of toxic substances in the biosphere environment and the other concerns the process of processes and procedures in itself affecting vulnerability. In order to answer these ques-tions, an inventory has be
Rapporter om rekordlåga grundvattennivåer och införda vattningsförbud blir vanligare och vanligare. En av de kommuner som har haft problem med dricksvattenförsörjningen är Gävle kommun. De har, via ett samarbetsorgan, anlitat Midvatten AB för att kartlägga förutsättningar för att inrätta en ny dricksvattentäkt i Älvkarleby-Skutskär. I det aktuella området löper Uppsalaåsen, som innehåller mycket gSweden has in recent years suffered record-low groundwater levels with imposed water restrictions. One of the municipalities who have had problems with their drinking-water supply is Gävle. They have hired Midvatten AB to review a possible location that for groundwater extraction in Älvkarleby-Skutskär. The Uppsala Esker, which contains a lot of groundwater, passes through the area. Parallel to th
Hälsa är idag ett hett samtalsämne. Intresset syns inte bara i olika sociala medier utan numera även tydligt i dagligvaruhandelns hyllor bland all vanlig mat. Vad vi handlar, lagar och äter har blivit allt tydligare markörer för vilka vi är och vi vill vara. Att äta hälsosamt idag är därför inte bara förknippat med fräscha sallader utan kan också innebära att man äter ekologiskt, vegetarisk eller
Advances in our understanding of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) have enabled the establishment of differentiation pathways throughout the hematopoietic hierarchy. To further explore the molecular cues governing cell fate options, there is a need to manipulate gene function in a controllable manner. Gene manipulation systems based on CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) or interference (CRISPRi) could be u
Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are critical for hematopoiesis and have been largely explored for potential stem cell therapies in a variety of diseases. This will inescapably create the need for long term storage via cryopreservation. Nevertheless, the effect of cryopreservation on primary human BM-MSCs remains largely unknown. We demonstrated that the surface marker expression pa
Hälsa är ett begrepp där forskare genom tiderna antagit flera olika perspektiv, såsom medicinska, psykologiska och filosofiska, för att förstå vilka faktorer som påverkar människans hälsa i såväl negativ som positiv bemärkelse. Sedan 1970-talet har friskvård vuxit fram på den svenska arbetsmarknaden som ett samlat begrepp för de satsningar som en arbetsgivare investerar med syfte att förse medarbe
Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien är att ta del av forskning som undersökt psykiatriska patienters upplevelser av delat beslutsfattande för att få en ökad förståelse för patienters preferenser. Metod: En litteraturstudie genomfördes utifrån åtta kvalitativa intervjustudier om delat beslutsfattande. En integrerad analys genomfördes för att sammanställa resultatet. Resultat: Tre kategorier identif
American consumption based lifestyles have a grave impact on the environment and personal wellbeing of Americans, creating unhealthy consumption patterns, unforeseen negative effects on individuals, and ultimately unsustainable lifestyles overall. Voluntary simplicity (VS), or individuals who resist consumerist tendencies seeking a higher quality of life through simplicity, is an answer to these c
This thesis investigates the influence of country-specific political risk on credit default swap spreads. The research includes a sample of 30 companies over a time period of more than 13 years. The companies are divided into two sets of sub-groups, dependent on whether they are banks or not and which country they are based in. The hypothesis is that banks should be more influenced by political ri
Uppsatsen behandlar delvis internets betydelse för andrahandsmarknaden av kläder men framförallt vilka motiv konsumenterna har när de handlar begagnade kläder via internet. Teorin som används är Pierre Bourdieus teori om smak, fält, habitus och olika former av kapital. Metod för insamling av data bestod av kvantitativ metod i form av webbaserad enkät. Resultatet analyserades sedan i statistiskanal
Antibodies have for long time dominated the field of affinity proteins in example imaging and therapeutics, due to their high specificity and affinity. However, they have some major drawbacks such as high molecular weight, complex structure leading to instability and high production cost. Therefore, other types of affinity proteins have been engineered, for example the Affibody molecule which is a
Omfattande organisationsförändingar har lett till att en av verksamhetsgrenarna inom Skanska Sverige AB fått nya förutsättningar för sina chefsroller. Syftet med studien var att skapa en bild av hur förutsättningarna för karriärutveckling såg ut inom ett antal chefsroller i verksamhetsgrenen Asfalt och Betong inom Skanska Sverige AB och på så sätt bidra till en ökad förståelse för processerna av k
The aim of this study was to gain knowledge and understanding of the school counsellors’ work with pupils who bully. The analysis is based on semi-structured interviews with six school counsellors who work at elementary schools in Sweden. We applied the social learning theory to analyse our data and to gain a deeper understanding of the subject. However, we only used the concepts from the theory t
