As institutional racism and the underrepresentation of BAME have become world-wide central issues, the question of equal opportunities for upward mobility in the labour market and social mobility for this particular community are at the forefront, including the UK context. Evidence suggests that BAME have unequal access to opportunities for career progression in the workplace and that upward mobil
Since the 1980s emotion regulation (ER) has been more in focus for its connection to psychopathology, such as in anxiety-, mood- and substance disorders. Walter et al. (2009) proposed that one possible explanation for an activation his team found after a certain emotion regulation strategy (ERS) being employed, i.e. detachment, could be the rebound effect as it has been described by Wegner, Schnei
The implementation of iris scan technology in the context of humanitarian financial assistance in UNHCR-run refugee camps raises an array of legal questions. While the collection and storage of biometrical data in other contexts is often accompanied by a critical discussion about data protection and privacy concerns, the use of such data in humanitarian settings is often left uncontested. The in-d
Following 9/11, an explosion of transnational counterterrorism regulations aimed at countering the financing of terrorism has been established. These have since had suffocating effects on aid delivery in areas where designated terrorist organizations are present, resulting in the denying of aid to the most vulnerable. Regardless, transnational regulations have only grown more assertive during the
The aim of the thesis is to explore how states react to international pressure and global governance in a global crisis. This will be examined by using a quantitative method approach to studying the impact of international climate agreements on the climate mitigation finances provided by Development Assistance Committee states. Additionally, it will also explore whether the impact of international
Community-based governance (CBG) has become a widely accepted concept for rural water provision in low and middle-income countries. However, it is being questioned if CBG has reached its limits due to numerous reports of the non-functionality of rural water systems. This study aims at understanding the role of intermediary organizations for CBG and how their relational character can improve rural
Title: The Exploring Digital Framework: A Comparative Case Study within the Swedish Manufacturing Industry Author: Daniel Ögren Supervisors: Carl-Johan Asplund (LTH), Jonathan Bergsteen (Triathlon Group), Fredrik Wadsten (Triathlon Group) Background: As new digital technologies and concepts arise, the inherent meaning of digitalization broadens. 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
The 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 e
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
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
