Luftförorening är ett globalt hälsoproblem och i Moçambique orsakas inomhusluftförorening främst av matlagning över öppen eld. Denna studie undersöker potentialen hos kokosnötskol som en renare bränslekälla för matlagning och som en möjlig inkomstkälla för kvinnor i byn Linga Linga, Moçambique. En tidigare studie i byn identifierade ett behov av att undersöka hushållens vilja att anta en annan matAir pollution is a global health problem and in Mozambique, indoor air pollution is primarily caused by cooking over an open fire. This study examines the potential of coconut charcoal as a cleaner cooking fuel and as a possible source of income for women in the village of Linga Linga, Mozambique.

I denna masteruppsats undersöks hur internetmemes om andra världskriget används på det Reddit-baserade forumet r/ww2memes för att bilda gemenskap. Eftersom internetmemes ofta saknar upphovsperson och tydligt ursprung studeras de här som allmänna kulturella fenomen, tillkomna genom deltagande på forumet, vilka genom humor ger uttryck för historiesyn och gemenskap.

By constructing a theoretical framework consisting of a certain use of history applied in presentist temporalities, herein referred to as ap

Strangeness production in small systems such as proton-proton collisions is here investigated through the use of three-particle correlations in the momentum-space coordinates η and ϕ. This method is used in order to investigate possible correlation between conservation of both strangeness and baryon number, such that the particles chosen are Λ¯pK+ and the respective charge conjugates, where Λ is a

Denna uppsats syftar till att studera utvecklingskurvan hos frontend-utvecklare. Studien undersöker hur en frontend-utvecklare anskaffar nya färdigheter och förmågor samt vilka utmaningar de ibland står inför. Studien genomförs med en kvalitativ metod bestående av sex intervjuer med frontend-utvecklare på olika yrkesnivåer. Datan från intervjuerna, tillsammans med litteraturinsamling, delas upp i

Domestic violence is a widespread social problem. Although studies show that support from social services can be a key support to able to leave a violent relationship, few seek this help. Reports of social workers who fail to help females subjected to violence show that something has to change.

Bakgrund: En stor del av Sveriges räddningstjänst består av Räddningstjänstpersonal i Beredskap (RiB). Under beredskapen ska personalen vara tillgänglig dygnet runt för att rycka ut på eventuella larm, detta ofta parallellt med ett ordinarie arbete. Aktivitetsbalans är en viktig faktor för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande. Hur RiB upplever sin aktivitetsbalans under beredskapen finns i dagslägetBackground: A large part of Sweden's fire brigade consists of on-call firefighters, who must be available around the clock to respond to any alarms, often in parallel with their regular work. Occupational balance is an important factor in promoting health and well-being. There is currently no knowledge about how on-call firefighters experience their occupational balance.

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans syftar till individers upplevelser av variation av aktiviteter i vardagen. Avsaknad av variation på aktiviteter kan leda till minskade upplevelser av aktivitetsbalans. Betalt arbete kan leda till att struktur, rutin och identitet formas i vardagen, samt kan motsatt leda till stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa utifrån negativa faktorer på arbetsplatsen. Syfte: Studiens syfte
