Consequently, companies experience increasing com
Lust is designed and dedicated to encouraging a healthier discussion about sex and masturbation by taking on a new generation of sex toys. A majority of us masturbate regularly but few consider it important to talk about in our close relationships. Today, pornography, in the absence of an open discussion, seems to be an unspoken source of education for young people. It is the leading moderator o
Energisystemet genomgår för närvarande en snabb transformation med allt mer förnybar elproduktion. Ett sätt genom vilket företag kan köpa förnybar el är genom långsiktiga elköpsavtal (Power Purchase Agreements, PPAs), i vilka de enas om ett fast pris och andra villkor med en projektutvecklare. För att bedöma ett rättvist fast pris av PPAn, så behöver först det framtida marknadspriset på el uppskatThe energy system is currently in a rapid transformation with increasingly growing renewable electricity production. One way through which companies can buy renewable electricity is through long - term corporate Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), in which they agree on a fix price and other terms with a project developer. To determine a fair fix PPA price, the future electricity market price needs
The thesis sheds light on the intersectional discrimination on basic education of the Rohingya refugee children in the Kutupalong unregistered camp of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh. The basic education for the refugee children is partly created through discriminatory means in the Rakhine state of Myanmar. It is further influenced by the limited education opportunities they are offered in the host coun
Although much research has been conducted regarding the uneven distribution of land in developing countries, such work tends to focus on rural land dispossession. In turn, land inequality in urban property markets of vulnerable economies remains somewhat understudied. Based on a case-study of Asunción, Paraguay, this thesis employs a Marxian political economy framework to investigate the developme
Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka och utvärdera bindningen av molekyler mot ett målprotein som är involverad i tillväxten av cancerceller. Undersökning genomfördes på Red Glead Discovery med WAC (weak affinity chromotography) som är en kromatografisk separationsmetod, där molekyler med olika vikt pumpas genom olika kolonner och retentionstiden för molekylerna i kolonnen detekteras. MolekylThe drug discovery and development process has changed dramatically during the last decades and the growth of more efficient techniques as high throughput screening combined with combinatorial synthesis using amino acids and carboxylic acids on solid support makes it possible to investigate the affinity of molecules towards a biological target. Fragment based drug discovery (FBDD) has been impleme
The aim of this master thesis is to examine how institutional rules and demands, present in cultural politics, affects the work with digitalisation in local museums. According to narrative trends in Sweden’s national cultural politics, digitalisation has the potential to encourage and increase democracy by enabling participation and wider access. Therefore, digitisation practices in cultural insti
This thesis aims to deconstruct the manner in which cultural differences are perceived and dealt with in international and multicultural school in Sweden by combining postcolonial and poststructuralist theories. Applying Bhabha’s theoretical turn from cultural diversity to cultural differences, ethnographic methods were used to examine parents’ and staff member’s relationship with these difference
The goal of this thesis is to construct p-harmonic functions on the Lie groups U(n), SU(n), U(p,q) and SU(p,q) equipped with the semi-Riemannian metric g(Z,W) = Re trace ( Z W^t ). To do this we present a method which relies on the notion of eigenfunctions. We define these functions and find examples of them defined on the relevant groups. To our knowledge, these eigenfunctions have not been p
The Defunctionalization of carbonyl functionality into methylene by metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation is very important in organic synthesis. But very less work is done in literature because of the need for a large amount of energy for C-O bond dissociation. Metal-catalyzed defunctionalization of carbonyl compounds in the presence of silanes as a mild reducing agent is studied because of its presenc
Befolkningen i Sverige står inför en demografisk utveckling och en allt större andel av Sveriges befolkning kommer vara äldre. År 2018 estimerades att andelen personer äldre än 80 år kommer öka med upp till hela 50 procent i Sverige under de närmaste tio åren Det leder i sin tur till en större påfrestning på landets vård och omsorg och det kommer behövas fler äldreboenden för att möta den ökande eThe Swedish population is facing a demographic development that will result in a larger proportion of the population being older than it is today. This will lead to a greater strain on the country’s health- and elderly care systems. In 2018, it was estimated that the proportion of people older than 80 years will increase by as much as 50 % in Sweden over the next ten years. With an increased numbe
Syftet med den aktuella studien var att, med kvalitativ och explorativ ansats, undersöka förutsättningarna för föräldrar till barn med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) att skapa trygg anknytning för sina barn, utifrån en förståelse för deras tankar och känslor om sin relation med sitt barn, och sitt föräldraskap – så kallade omvårdnadsrepresentationer. Vidare syftade studien till att undersöka huruvi
Förpackningar är viktigare än vad man kan tro! De skyddar den värdefulla produkten från oönskade bakterier som kan göra att den blir dålig. För att drycken ska hålla längre så måste förpackningen behandlas för att ta bort allt som kanske kan skada personen som dricker innehållet. Man ser också till att bakterier utanför förpackningen inte kan ta sig in. Detta innebär att förpackningen är aseptisk.Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons
This research explains the distribution of rewards within the innovative economic practice of online motorcycle taxi services in Indonesia. Those analyzed are online transportation platforms and their driver-partners. These two are analyzed using the theoretical framework of the innovation economy, which is conceptualized as cumulative, uncertain, and collective economic processes by Mariana Mazzu
This essay focuses on the phenomenon of the new man and new masculinity and how it is used and described in fashion articles. The phenomenon points at something new but within a historical context we see that the new man goes back in history. The aim of this essay is to find what the new man and its new masculinity is today according to fashion journalism. The empirical data consists of ten fashio
Syftet med den här studien har varit att tolka hur unga män i åldern 18–24 år utifrån emotionssociologisk synvinkel upplever känslan av rädsla och trygghet, och hur de utifrån ett genusperspektiv talar om känslor. Vidare har studien undersökt vad som bidrar till de unga männens känsla av rädsla och trygghet. Detta har gjorts genom en kvalitativ metod i form av fem semi strukturerade intervjuer med
Abstract The utilization of one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a feedstock for production of high value compounds is a fast developing area within cell factory engineering. Methanol is a cheap and easily stored compound, which can be produced from CO2 and renewable energy. Engineering microbial cell factories for utilization of methanol could therefore contribute to decreasing the amounts
Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t
n this master’s thesis, one studies the liquidity of bonds. One considers bid-ask spread and develops four estimators of this liquidity measure based on trading data. One also computes Amihud’s measure. This approach helps to determine liquidity and its associ-ated costs without quotation. One finds out that the Roll, the FHT estimators and the Amihud measure take the lead. One looks at the changes
