In recent years, gig work – short-term and temporary assignments mediated via digital platforms – has captured the interest of media and research and is growing as an area of academic inquiry. Previously research has mainly focused on the regulations and breadth of gig work. Gig work can be been understood as a significant break from ‘standard employment relationship’, meaning that we are now head
Early cathedrals in Lund and DalbyThe aim of the article is to present and critically re-evaluate the written end material sources concerning the early cathedrals of Lund and Dalby in Scania, former medieval Denmark and now part of Sweden. The main questions are where and when did exist cathedrals in Scania in the 11th Century, how were their architecture, how can they be dated, and why were there
This essay examines the implicit relationship between political science and rare events, or so called Black Swans. The purpose is to analyze Black Swan weakness by evaluating the nature of political analysis and political theories. The key to this assessment is the analysis of the predictive powers of political analysis and theories. This essay claims, on the basis of Karl Poppers historicism crit
Popular Abstract in English In Mozambique, many wild fruit species occur naturally in forest environments. Most of the wild fruits are consumed fresh because of their short shelf-life when ripe. Forests play an important role in rural communities as a source of food and medicinal and social/cultural services and also provide a source of income when fruits are sold at local markets. Some parts of MVangueria infausta (African medlar) is a wild fruit found in southern and central Mozambique. The ripe fruit has a leathery skin enclosing three to five seeds embedded in a soft pulp that tastes like apple. It plays an important role in the diet of the rural population and has the potential for commercial use. The fruit is mostly eaten fresh, and sometimes mixed with porridges, but in some parts
The changing of the climate is today a problem. There are many reasons why the climate is changing but one of the biggest is the use of cars for personal transport. To reduce the emissions of climate gases many cities in Sweden are today planning for sustainable transports instead of the car. Examples of sustainable transportation is public transport and biking. Although the bike is a good vehicle
Since 2009, the Swedish government has allo-cated a part of its direct funding to the Swed-ish universities based on a bibliometric indica-tor, which stems from the number of publica-tions and citations found in the Web of Science bibliographic database. This paper discusses the creation and detailed structure of the new indicator, which has met criticism from both researchers and the Swedish Rese
Efforts are on the way on the Swedish West Coast to develop the capacity for cultivation of marine resources, notably of kelps. Given that this is a region of great natural and national heritage, public opposition to marine developments has been identified as a possible risk factor. This survey thus sought to shed light on awareness levels, perceptions of different types of aquaculture and on reac
The existence of frozen conflicts in Europe are posing difficulties in the application of international human rights treaties. This is due to, de facto governments of break-away regions not cooperating with international mechanisms and refusing to comply with regional and international instruments. The break-away regions of Transnistria and Abkhazia are such examples. Officially part of Republic o
The use of peace narratives in order to delegitimize political opposition has been observed in electoral autocracies. One such case was in Kenya in 2013, which gave rise to the theory of peaceocracy. Peaceocracy is conceptualized as being made up of six components, namely a fragile peace, incumbents cast as peacekeepers, peace as a responsibility of the citizenry, delegitimization of certain issue
This work investigates crew opinions about manual intervention on board submarines and planned new solutions on the new submarine, the A26. The planned solutions include an unmanned aft and the installation of water mist instead of Halon 1301 as fire suppression system. Literature, survey and interviews were used to gather information. The crew routines and previous fire incidents were determined.
Through Bonnie M. Meguid’s theory on Position, Salience and Ownership, I analyse the two Swedish government parties Folkpartiets and Moderaternas strategic approaches towards the populist radical right party Sverigedemokraterna. The period that I analyse is 2006-2012 and the focus is on the parliament level. I use qualitative text analysis as method and concentrate on material like polical program
THIS MASTER THESIS is about making diving more accessible. The experience of diving is today relying on a complex set of equipment and infrastructure, thus most people with a certificate seldom use it. My intention is to evolve diving equipment, which has looked the same since the sixties, and by doing that simplifying the experience of diving. The goal is to create a solution positioning itself
Popular Abstract in English All ordinary matter around us is made out of atoms. In turn, the building blocks of the atoms are nowadays known to be three types of particles:electrons, protons and neutrons. The latter are called nucleons, as they together form the positively charged nucleus of the atom, around which the electrons are moving. The radius of the nucleus is about three orders of magnituComprehensive experimental knowledge of the 62Zn nucleus has been obtained from the combined statistics of four different experiments. The Gammasphere Ge-detector array in conjunction with the 4pi charged-particle detector array Microball was used to detect the gamma-rays in coincidence with evaporated light charged particles. In total twenty seven band structures have been observed in 62Zn, twent
Title: Critical success factors that influence the corporate venturing process Seminar date: 2013-05-02 Course: ENTN39 Internship and Degree Project Authors: Martin Zündorf & Marcus Holgersson Advisor/s: Joakim Winborg Purpose: We investigated the influence of different factors on the corporate venturing process. Therefore we combined several factors from the organizational level with cha
"At searching for lost point sources, it is important to use an optimal search strategy and an optimal methodology for spectrum data analysis. The purpose of this work is to evaluate a simple on-line method for locating lost point sources in the environment with carborne gamma spectrometry and study different strategies for detector geometries and speed of the car. The scope of this thesis
