The debate between advocates and critics about the link between trade and labour standards is still relevant. Looking at history, labour rights have been important in the international trade system since the 1890s, when the import of goods by prison labour was prohibited by international treaties and national laws. Nowadays, the need to strengthen sustainability rules is growing because more and m

Biofilm som bildas på materialytor vanligt förekommande i processutrustning inom livsmedelsindustrin utgör ett hot mot livsmedlets säkerhet och kvalitet. Bakterier som närmar sig en yta kan fästa in, föröka sig och skapa en matris av extracellulära polymersubstanser (EPS) vilken de bäddar in sig i. Biofilm som väl etablerats är svår att tvätta bort och det är därför av intresse att undersöka faktoBiofilms formed on surfaces encountered in process equipment in the food industry pose a threat to food safety and quality. Planktonic bacteria can adhere to a surface, proliferate, and embed themselves in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance known as the EPS. Because biofilms are difficult to remove once established, factors influencing the initial attachment is of interest to investigat

Väldigt lite forskning har gjorts om TikTok-användning och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Denna experimentella studie syftade till att undersöka om TikTok-användning är relaterad till uppmärksamhet mätt både genom självskattning och genom ett prestationsbaserat test, samt om ett kortsiktigt orsakssamband kunde påvisas. Den syftade även till att undersöka sambandet mellan självskattning och prestationstest

This thesis seeks to understand the role that Swedish civil society (in the form of children’s rights organizations) play in the creation of legislation, through the writing of consultation responses and role in the discussions of the law following its incorporation. The aim is to understand the interplay between the political system and civil society through the eyes of the civil society’s employ

The aim of this study was to investigate the living situation of undocumented migrants in Sweden from a civil society perspective. The study also aimed to study how representatives from the civil society describe their work with undocumented migrants. The method used for the study was based on a qualitative approach where we conducted eight semi-structured interviews with representatives from diff

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to illuminate how assistant nurses experienced changes and challenges in work with the elderly and their loneliness during the covid-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, research shows that loneliness increased among the elderly, making for a social problem of interest for us to study. The perspectives of assistant nurses are relevant because of their close prox

This quantitative study aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of how distance education has affected social worker students' study motivation and social contacts.This study collected its data by sending web based surveys to the social work students in Lunds University who, in may 2022, currently were on term 6 and 7 (n=311) with the purpose to measure how they felt about the education bec

Mycket är känt gällande kopplingar mellan boendemiljöer och psykisk hälsa, men hur det ser ut i en svensk kontext är inte lika utforskat. Högskole- och universitetsstudenter har visat sig vara en sårbar grupp gällande psykisk hälsa, och COVID-19 pandemin har ytterligare belyst behovet av att utforska hur det relaterar till boendemiljöer då studenter spenderat mer tid än tidigare i sina hem. Sålede

Detta examensarbete, utfört i samarbete med ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, syftar till att utveckla en ny ramsektion för industriella takskjutportar. Takskjutportarna är en del av den befintliga produktportföljen och finns i två olika tjocklekar, 42 och 82 mm. Dörrarna är uppbyggda av antingen panel- eller ramsektioner, eller en kombination av båda. Den 82 mm tjocka dörren används när det finns ett This Master Thesis, executed in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems, aimed at developing a new frame section for industrial overhead sectional doors. The overhead sectional doors are a part of the existing product portfolio and exist in two different thicknesses, 42 and 82 mm. The doors are built up by either panel or frame sections, or a combination of both. The 82 mm thick door is use

The search for stronger materials in the automotive industry resulted in an increased used of Compacted graphite iron (CGI) instead of gray cast iron; however, the machinability of this material is more difficult, and different approaches such as composition modification, improved tooling and improved cutting conditions have been attempted. This thesis project is focused on the analysis of tool we

The European Spallation Source ESS, under construction in Lund, Sweden, aims to produce high-brightness and intensity neutrons for a multitude of experiments upon completion. An efficient production of neutrons requires elaborate understanding of the moderation process which slows the neutrons from relativistic speed to a kinetic energy of meV. The moderator used at the ESS will be partially made

The number of irregular migrants increased in Turkey, especially after the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan of 2016. This study examines the situation of undocumented Syrian migrants in terms of their capabilities and approaches to the well-being of this particular group from the normative framework of the capability approach with a specific focus on material conditions. Building on the Capability Appr
