Bakgrund: Olika faktorer utgör en persons förmåga till att utföra aktiviteter, dvs. en persons aktivitetsförmåga. Hästunderstödda insatser (HUI) är en typ av aktivitet och behandlingsform. För bästa effekt bör den utföras av en utbildad ridterapeut. Tidigare forskning har visat att HUI haft positiv inverkan vid rehabilitering för personer med psykiska och fysiska funktionsvariationer. Det finns däBackground: Various factors constitute a person's ability to perform activities, i.e., a person’s occupational performance. Equine assisted therapy (EAT) is a form of activity and can be used as a treatment. For best effect, it should be performed by an educated equestrian therapist. Previous research has shown that EAT have had good effects on different patient groups with physical and psycho

Around the world the rise of populist and anti-globalization forces can be seen. In Sweden this movement is prevalent as well, as the populist party the Sweden Democrats is experiencing a substantial increase in support. The reason for this is a widely debated subject amongst scholars. One potential explanation for the rise of populism could be the increased imports from China in recent years. Pre

Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, fibre reinforced materials allow a substantial reduction of mass for modern vehicles, thus making energy-efficient mobility viable. However, the cost for material and manufacturing of parts made out of carbon exceed the allowable costs for a broad market. New preforming technologies offer a potential to manufacture composite parts in a highly automat

Tetra Recart är en kartongbaserad förpackning som används för förvaring av olika livsmedel. Pappersförpackningen består av flera olika lager med olika funktioner för att skydda livsmedlet från den omgivande miljön och för att förlänga hållbarheten av produkten. Lagring av livsmedel med så kallade aggressiva egenskaper, så som höga saltkoncentrationer (>1%) och låga pH (< 4), har en påverkan på förTetra Recart is a paperboard-based package used for storing various kinds of food. The paperboard in Tetra Recart is covered with several layers having different functions to protect food from the environment as well as to extend the shelf life of a product. Storage of food with aggressive properties, such as high salt concentrations (> 1 %) in combination with low pH (< 4), has an impact on packa

Co-dependency is a controversial concept and a social problem affecting a large group of parents whose children are addicts. The purpose of this study was to investigate how parents with co-dependents experience and describe their situation in relation to their child with substance abuse problems, and how they experience and describe the help and support of Swedish society. Material and method: To

To expand knowledge on the mechanisms of breast cancer, the most prevalent cancer in women, the development of new and reliable technologies are of great interest. Phosphoproteome analysis of breast cancer cell lines can reveal important cellular processes active in different subtypes of the disease, and contribute to the understanding of breast cancer progression. Here, different sample preparati

En röntgenundersökning sker i en högteknologisk miljö, som kan vara påfrestande för barn med autism, därför är det av vikt att en röntgensjuksköterska kan tillämpa olika metoder för att minska barnets oro och stress. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa omvårdnadsåtgärder för att minska oro och stress hos barn med autism i samband med röntgenundersökningar. Integrerad analys av nio artiklar

How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po

The demand for high data rates in a wireless communication system has experienced a remarkable growth over the last years. This demand is continually increasing with the growing number of wirelessly connected devices. Thus, there is a continuing hunt for increasing the data transmission rate in wireless communication systems. To increase the data rate, the modern wireless communication system cann

Title: Implementing Change In Organisations: A Study on Limiting Factors for Managers in the Service industry.

This essay investigates how new innovations are introduced and implemented in the transportation system, and serves to illustrate this through a case study of Skånetrafiken and its plans to integrate mobility services. Mobility stands at the precipice of structural changes which will effectively challenge the social position of the car as the most common and self-evident choice of transportation.

Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur ett kommunikativt perspektiv, tillsammans med teorier om meningsskapande och meningsgivande, kan användas för att bilda en djupare förståelse för organisationslärande efter en kris. Organisationer försöker i allt större utsträckning kapitalisera på kriser genom att lära sig av dem, men forskning visar att de ofta misslyckas med detta. Genom intervjue

This thesis is a conceptual study focused on the relationship between populism and conspiracy theories to see if populism poses a totalitarian threat to democracy. Starting with a discussion on democracy and populism, this thesis examines the relations between conspiracy theories and populism as well as their respective constructions. Thereafter, departing from Hannah Arendt’s book the Origins of

In this thesis, we introduce a theoretical framework that can act as a foundation when develop-ing and adopting a BYOD policy. Using BYOD within organizations is a growing concept and continues to evolve as technology gets better, cheaper and more advanced. Our literature study indicates that the biggest advantage in regard to implementation of BYOD is cost reduction, moving the actual cost to the

Internet har tidigare varit bundet till en fast punkt. I och med utvecklingen av trådlös teknik så sprider sig nu uppkopplade enheter ut i offentliga miljöer. Med mognaden av IoT börjar tekniken utvecklas på ett sätt där den individuella användaren mer är passiv snarare än aktiv i sitt användande. I Lund ser vi ett ungt exempel på detta med cykelbarometrar som satts upp i staden för att räkna anta

This thesis aims at defining the improvement areas for packaging and logistics of a long shelf-life Danone Nutricia aseptic product. By literature research and interview, the author is able to build a product mapping protocol to define the sensitive components requiring particular concerns on packaging and logistics. This protocol could be implemented in both academic researches and industry proje

Sustainability has long been serving dominant political and economic interests under the guise of sustainable development. This political and economic co-option of sustainable development has given rise to a new slogan: “system change, not climate change”. Our crisis is no longer just an environmental one, but a structural one, in which our means of living have outdistanced the ends for which we l
