Nationalism and populism are growing phenomenon in a changing Europe. When the concept of the nation-state is questioned or challenged, the political discourses regarding national identity are changing aswell. Since the rapid change in post-communist Central-and Eastern Europe, questions regarding national identity have risen on the region’s political agenda. Nationalists and populists have taken

Strålning kan medföra både skada och nytta. Inom strålbehandling utnyttjas strålningen för att bota eller lindra cancersjukdomar. Målet är att med hjälp av joniserande strålning slå ut alla tumörceller samtidigt som man försöker skona övriga friska celler. Strålningen som produceras i den vanligaste utrustningen för extern strålbehandling, nämligen linjäraccelerator, är elektronstrålning och fotonPurpose: Medical linear accelerators that operate above 10 MeV produce neutrons by photonuclear reactions which present a potential radiation hazard to the personnel. The purpose of this study was to estimate neutron dose contributions to the personnel working with external radiotherapy at Malmö University Hospital (UMAS), compare different kind of neutron detectors/dosimeters, and evaluate how to

The purpose of this thesis is to study management programs and how organizations work to implement leadership criteria and values into future managers. The purpose is fulfilled by studying the case of Primärvården Skåne and examining the essence of their

Drönare används idag inom en rad områden. Projektet H24LEO, som drivs av Trafikflygarhögskolan vid Lunds Universitet (TFHS) och är finansierat av Vinnova, har som mål att utveckla och demonstrera en drönare driven av ett hybridiserat vätgasbränslecell-system baserat på PEM-tekniken. Denna drönare har som tilltänkt syfte att kunna erbjuda understöd i så kallade Search and Rescure-uppdrag hos SjöfarUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) offer great versatility in the tasks that they may perform and they are today used in many sectors. The H24LEO project, administered by the Lund University School of Aviation, aims to develop and demonstrate a hybrid proton-exchange membrane fuel cell-powered UAV to aid in search and rescue operations performed by the Swedish Maritime Administration, and reduce

Denna studie har ämnat att undersöka den potentiella skillnaden mellan tjejers och killars narkotikabruk i årskurs 3 på gymnasiet, i Södra Sverige. Det är av intresse att undersöka potentiella könsskillnader, då behovet av olika typer stöd och insatser kan tänkas skilja sig åt mellan tjejer och killar. En kvantitativ metod i form av en enkätundersökning har använts för att uppfylla studiens syfte.

This report investigates how organizations deal with organizational learning during times of crisis. The aim was to contribute with a framework visualizing the most profound drivers and barriers to organizational learning during crisis management, using the covid-pandemic as a case example. A preliminary framework was developed with the literature review as a foundation to do this. An interview gu

Deformationszonen kallad ”Frontal wedge” är ett system av N-S branta och vertikala deformationszoner i gränsen mellan Svekonorvegiska och Sekorareliska provincen, i södra Sverige. Ursprung av dessa strukturer är inte fullt förstått och under de senaste årtiondena har endast ett fåtal undersökningar gjorts på dessa deformationszoner. Det finns flera olika tolkningar och modeller för bildandet av stThe Frontal wedge is a system of N-S trending steep to vertical deformation zones at the border between the Sveconorwegian and Svecokarelian provinces in south-central Sweden. The origin of these structures is not fully understood and few investigations have been done on these deformation zones during the past decades. There are various interpretations of and models for the formation of the struct

To meet national and international emission targets, the Swedish building sector needs to drastically reduce its carbon dioxide emissions, and to do so, a change in building techniques and materials is needed. Bio-based materials contribute to less emissions than conventional materials, like steel and concrete, but remain rather unknown to modern building sciences.

Abstract: Gender inequality is to some extent depending on subconscious gender bias, that is, automatic associations that might mis-favour women in academia. The extent to which gender bias in relation to career choices is present in the population has been investigated during many years in an American-based web project but have not yet been investigated among teachers at LTH. In this study, we le

Drawing on a playful notebook entry from Hans Jonas’s student years, this article examines why Jonas consistently sidestepped Friedrich Schelling’s Naturphilosophie in his writings on philosophical biology. It begins by outlining the many affinities between the two thinkers, as noted in previous scholarship: both articulate an asubjective teleology, both understand or­ganisms as self-individuating

This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatio

Why are certain categories of people more likely than others to regard climate change as ‘fake news’? This thesis aims to replicate and expand on two earlier articles from McCright and Dunlap (2011) and Krange et al. (2019) who show that conservative white men are more likely to be climate change deniers in the US and Norway, respectively. This phenomenon is called the cool dude-effect. Theories a

Skatteflykt är inget nytt fenomen, det har troligtvis funnits så länge det har funnits en skatt att betala. Lagstiftaren har under alla år arbetat för att förhindra sådana skatteflyktstransaktioner. Till följd av skatteflyktslagens införande riktades kritik mot lagens andra paragraf som hävdades vara mycket vagt utformad och riskerade leda till en rättsosäker och oförutsebar beskattning. Efter en

Fängelse på livstid tillämpas som påföljd för flera brott enligt svensk lag. Majoriteten av de livstidsdömda har begått brottet mord, som regleras i 3 kap. 1 § brottsbalken. Under de senaste åren har denna paragraf ändrats två gånger, och ytterligare en ändring har nu föreslagits, i syfte att skärpa straffen och öka tillämpningen av livstids fängelse som påföljd för mord. Syftet med uppsatsen ärLife imprisonment is used as a penalty for several crimes in Swedish law. The majority of those sentenced to life imprisonment have committed murder. This crime is regulated in chapter 3, paragraph 1 in the Swedish Penal Code. In recent years, the legislators have expressed a will to change this paragraph. Two changes have been made so far, and another amendment has been proposed, in order to incr

Sweden is the only country, among comparable countries, whose criminal legislation does not include a requirement of accountability, also known as an insanity defence. The meaning of the requirement of accountability is that a person must have had a fundamental understanding of the meaning of their actions to be evicted of a crime. An introduction of such a requirement has, however, been under
