The aim of this master thesis was to examine the leisure travel conditions of children and adolescents. Results from The Swedish national travel survey 2011-2014 shows that journeys to leisure activities represents a great portion of the total travel and a significant share is made by car. Former research implies that active transport among youth improves physical and mental health, increases inde
This master’s thesis focuses on pedagogy and aspects of learning and remembering within guided museum tours for people with dementia. We explore in what way learning and remembering are focused on and triggered during those tours and with the help of which pedagogical means. Furthermore, we discuss what place these tours have within the museum as an institution. In order to examine our questions a
Syftet med det här arbetet är att undersöka hur den forskning som tilldelats Sveriges Riksbanks pris i ekonomisk vetenskap till Alfred Nobels minne förhåller sig till den allmänna samhällsutvecklingen och hur detta kan förstås utifrån sociologisk teori. Tre frågeställningar ska besvaras: 1) vilket övergripande perspektiv lyfts fram i de olika prispresentationerna, 2) går det att identifiera några
Inspired by the study of generalized Cesaro operator T_g introduced by Aleman and Siskakis we study a variation of this operator,namely P(g,a) , depending on an analytic symbol g and an n - tuple of complex numbers, a . Regarding the boundedness properties of this operator we prove that P(g,a) is a bounded linear operator from H^p to itself if and only if g is an analytic function of bounded mean
Graduation has been imposed in unilateral preferential trade agreements when product groups from beneficiaries or beneficiaries themselves are viewed as too competitive and developed. What happens to the product groups of the beneficiaries when the trade preferences are withdrawn? This paper addresses the potential trade effects of graduation from the European Unions Generalized System of Prefere
Given the HIV/AIDS peak in the 1980s, Uganda has been hailed as a success story after having dramatically decreased the infection rate in the 2000s. However, the country’s HIV/AIDS rate has started to increase again in recent years. At the same time, homosexual males represent a key population whose needs must be taken into account if the pandemic is to be eradicated. Therefore, the thesis focuses
Förlossningsarbetet har beskrivits som stressintensivt, och förlossningsbarnmorskor anses behöva mer stöd från sjukvårdsledningen. Flera forskare har argumenterat att organisatorisk ledning har svårt att definiera arbetsrelaterad stress och att investera i rätt interventionssatsningar för personalen efter deras reella behov. Mer pragmatisk forskning ute i sjukvården har efterfrågats. Första stegetWorking in labour units has been described as strenuous, and midwives are considered to need enhanced support from management. Several researches have argued that management however struggle to define occupational stress and invest in proper interventions for the employees based on their actual needs. More pragmatic research in the field has been requested. The first step forward is arguably to pr
The aim of this study was to focus on how individual female employees perceived the pay gap in the Swedish labor market, as well as in their workplace. The purpose was to study how the awareness of pay gaps based on gender inequalities or other circumstances, affects the individual female employees. Moreover, the purpose has also been to capture the employers reflections on their work to detect, c
Ämnet för denna uppsats är högstadieelevers läs- och medievanor och hur deras minskade intresse för skönlitterär läsning kan belysas ur två perspektiv: hur barns literacyutveckling ligger till grund för deras medieanvändning och hur den avgör om de upplever ett medium som omedelbart eller hypermedierat. Syftet är att försöka ta reda på om det finns möjligheter att förena de digitala världar som ba
One widely used method for the detection of active pharmaceutical ingridients is high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC). The purpose of using this technique is that it can detect low concentrations of molecules in a solution, as well as separate molecules in a solution from each other. This report will illuminate the aim to implement a method that successfully can detect zoledronic acid, wit
Foreign direct investment (FDI) occurs when a domestic corporation invests in another company in a foreign country. There are two main entry modes through which corporations can invest into the foreign country, merger and acquisitions (M&A) or greenfield investments. According to endogenous growth theory, FDI in either form should have a significant effect on economic growth in the host countr
Around half of the world population live within urban areas and is expected increase to encompass 60% by 2030. As the human population increases, cities are forced to densify or expand onto surrounding land, leaving less space for communal green space that supply the urban residents with vital ecosystem services. A resource of green space that thus far hasn’t been explored is private domestic gard
I analyze the effect of a large exogenous trade shock on mortality in the United States between 2002 and 2012. Following the example of Autor, Dorn, and Hanson (2013), I construct a variable that captures the difference in exposure to import competition stemming from differences in initial manufacturing employment structures. I avoid endogeneity issues by instrumenting US commuting zones’ exposure
Developing an e-government in a state has become a new trend in the world of political reform. However, e-government itself as a way of public service digitalization does not incline that political regime of the state will be democratic and inclusive. When e-government has been usually researched in the democratic setting, question marks remain of how it works in the non-democratic one. This paper
Global warming is one of the greatest challenges of our time. To globally reduce green house gas emissions, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) was created under the Kyoto Protocol. The mechanism allows industrialized nations in the Global North to meet their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto protocol, by purchasing carbon credits generated from CDM projects implemented in developing co
I denna uppsats kommer det att redogöras för förekommande diskurser kring psykisk ohälsa i den norska tv-serien ”Skam” och hur de inverkar på karaktärernas handlingar och uppfattningar om ämnet. För att besvara denna frågeställning kommer vi att genomföra en kvalitativ textanalys av säsong 3. Det teoretiska ramverket inbegriper diskurs och sociologerna R.W. Connell och Erving Goffmans teorier om h
This thesis delves into small business administration and scheduling through interviews with two different types of businesses within the service sector. A nightclub and an inn. As part of the project, a prototype with the basic functionalities has been developed. An analysis is made of the strengths and weaknesses of different administration and scheduling techniques and an explanation is given o
