In addition, there is the expectation of the courtroom being an unemotional setting, and seeing emotional displays in lay and professional judges could lead to a feeling of partiality in the audience. The aim of this the

This thesis investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing sustainable business models in the construction industry, with a specific focus on an established Swedish construction company. The construction industry is a notable contributor to environmental impact, resource consumption, and energy use. There is still a considerable lack in research on the challenges encoun

Tänk om vi kunde ersätta dagens hydrauliska lösningar med elektriska och skapa mer energieffektiva system i dagens moderna arbetsmaskiner? Vilka möjligheter och utmaningar uppstår då man ersätter pumpar och hydraulik med batterier och elektronik? Den pågående elektrifieringen av fordon inom många sektorer skapar nya möjligheter att utmana och ersätta traditionella lösningar med hjälp av modern teExcavators have traditionally been diesel driven with hydraulic actuators, but with the ongoing electrification of vehicles, smaller electric excavators are getting more common. Larger electrical excavators are still in a prototyping or early production stage but can be expected to grow. The electrification of construction equipment creates new possibilities to replace previous hydraulic- with ele

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a rapidly growing form of crypto assets with unique characteristics. However, existing tax regulations have struggled to keep up with these developments. This thesis addresses the taxation of NFTs within the European Union (EU) and highlights the legal gap in their treatment, given their exclusion from the Markets in C

The Greek physician Praxagoras from Kos was active around year 300 BC. He represents the transition between the Hippocratic and the Hellenistic periods in medicine. Praxagoras was the teacher of several renowned physicians active during the 3rd century BC. Although he wrote many books nothing of his writing has survived to our time. To learn about his teachings we must rely on fragments and testim

Today's social services are constantly criticized in the media. Trust in Swedish authorities has never been so low and the main contributor to this is the easily accessible criticism on social media. The criticism is based on clients' stories, including personal and impersonal experiences of the meeting with social services. The study aimed to investigate how critical clients and social wo

Nasal administrering är en administeringsmetod där läkemedel inhaleras genom näsan. Metodens huvudsakliga syfte är att snabbt och effektivt behandla lokala symtom. Men på senare tid har det även ökats intresse för att uppnå en systemisk effect, där läkemedlet når blodomloppet och därigenom påverkar hela kroppen. Näshålan är ungefär 15-20 ml, med en yta på cirka 150 cm2 och är uppdelad i två symmIntranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route

This paper examines how worries about war affect the political participation of women and men in Ukraine. The analysis is based on secondary data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey 2017-2020. By constructing linear regressions, I examined whether there is a correlation between the worries about the war and the political activity of women and men in Ukraine. This allowed us to see how

The purpose of this study has been to understand how brands construct female body trends through the use of marketing representations over time. It was considered of relevance to analyze these social constructions as female consumers have been portrayed as well as objectified and exploited over the years in different industries. Ultimately, the effects of these social constructions which convey s

This study aims to investigate how brand extensions within streaming services affect consumers’ attitudes and emotional attachment to the parent brand. Beyond fit and quality, we provide an explanation of the connection between brand extensions, emotional attachment, and consumer attitude. This research adopts a critical realist ontology, interpretivism epistemology, and abductive approach through

Healthcare professionals in Sweden have a legal obligation to acknowledge and provide support to children as next of kin and to notify social services in case of suspicion that a child is in harm or may be at risk of harm. Despite this, studies show a lack of reported cases to social services, it also shows that the work with children as next of kin is not as extended as it should be. Swedish rese

Trots att Sverige är bland de mest jämställda länderna i världen är mäns våld mot kvinnor ett samhällsproblem av omfattande karaktär. Konsekvenserna av detta våld är betydande, både i form av samhällskostnader och personligt lidande. Poliser har en avgörande roll vid dessa våldssituationer. Detta arbete ämnar undersöka vilka attityder som finns bland blivande poliser i Sverige gällande olika typerDespite Sweden being amongst the most gender equal countries in the world, men's violence against women is a comprehensive societal issue with large consequences: both considering financial costs to society and personal suffering. The police have a crucial role in this issue. This thesis aims to investigate attitudes amongst police students in Sweden towards different types of violence, and if

A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. The unit cell which is repeatable in alThe transport of heat from hot to cold mediums is called heat transfer. It can be used for either heating or cooling machines, electronics food, etc. in industry. Examples are the cooling of a car engine or recovering heat from a power plant turbine. In these types of applications, it is practical to use fluids of high heat capacity as mediums for transferring heat as this means they that they are

The study investigated how a case study through method triangulation can contribute to anuanced and detailed understanding of what challenges and strategies can be experienced in the development of group dynamics in a virtual team. With a theoretical basis in Tuckman phases of group development, Systems centered theory and An integrated model of group development, the team's attachment to the

Byggbranschen är en av de mest klimattunga branscherna och står för cirka en femtedel av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser. För att möta samtidens klimatkris krävs det att byggbranschens utsläpp minskar. En av de faktorer som orsakar mest utsläpp inom byggbranschen är framställningen och användandet av nyproducerad betong. Trots betongens stora inverkan på klimatet fortsätter byggbranschen aThe study focuses on the organizational work of reuse of concrete elements. Reusing concrete elements in new buildings could be one of the solutions of how the construction sector becomes more environmentally friendly. Throughout this study factors like political decisions, governmental instruments, laws and regulations as well as cooperation between organizations within the construction sector ar
