Pets, instruments, a source of food, objects of wonder - animals are still considered inferior beings because of their inability to speak. Animal rights philosophers, such as Peter Singer, focus on the capacity of animals to suffer, in order that animals are given more rights. However, the animals in the Mary Poppins books fight for their own rights, some of them having the capacity to speak. The

With the technological advancements of the 21st century, online pornography has become increasingly available to children and adolescents, and this research aims to investigate how individuals who started watching pornography at an early age experience pornography. The study implements a phenomenological approach and is based on 13 qualitative interviews with participants who started watching p

Older persons’ rights are increasingly penetrating the Human Rights discourse in response to the surging aging of the world population. Old-age pension schemes are designed to protect older persons against vulnerabilities once they resign from the job market. In 2018, Georgia adopted a new contributory Accumulated Old-age Pension scheme which operates alongside the existing non-contributory State

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur bankanställda upplever och hanterar de förändringar som bankindustrin genomgått under de senaste decennierna. Denna studie har genomförts som en kvalitativ studie med en ontologisk utgångspunkt i det socialkonstruktionistiska.

Rapporten beskriver en applikation som kan användas för att läsa in .obj-filer och visa dessa som 3D-modeller i augmented reality med hjälp av en HoloLens-2. 3D-modellerna som visas med hjälp av lösningen bidrar med en bättre helhetsbild än vad 2D-bilder kan göra då de kan skalas, roteras och positioneras av användaThis thesis examines the possibilities of using HoloLens-2 in healthcare. The thesis describes an application that can be used to load .obj files and display them as 3D models in augmented reality using a HoloLens-2. The 3D models displayed using the application contribute to a better understanding than traditional 2D images would, as the 3D model can be scaled, rotated and positioned by the user

Bakgrund: I flertal länder rapporterar sjuksköterskor en brist på vård av hög kvalitet och ett utbrett missnöje på arbetsplatsen. Detta leder till en hög omsättningen av sjuksköterskor då de väljer att lämna professionen. Arbetsmiljön är starkt kopplad till stress och personalbrist vilket innebär att omvårdnadsarbetet blir lidande. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka faktorer som påve

The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. One of the main detector components of LDMX is the hadronic calorimeter, which is used

This essay mainly examines the Police's crime prevention work in the city of Uddevalla. Through interviews and a document study, successes and setbacks in crime prevention work and collaboration between different actors are explored. Crime prevention is constantly evaluated, studied and examined, both internally and externally, but it appears that it is difficult to arrive at a clear answer ab

The aim of this study was to research how ISIS-returnees were portrayed by Swedish media in order to understand the impact media’s portrayal of ISIS-returnees may have on media consumers' attitudes towards these individuals. This was done by a qualitative content analysis of 26 articles from two different Swedish news sites, named SVT Nyheter and Samtiden. The results were analyzed based on po

Combustion of fossil fuels is single-handedly the largest contributor of global warming. The transportation sector is responsible for about a third of the greenhouse gas emissions yearly in Sweden. In turn, road traffic makes up the largest share within the transportation. The Swedish government has set out an ambitious goal to reduce domestic carbon emissions caused by the transportation sector

Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

I den här kandidatuppsatsen har relationerna mellan kognitiv empati (perspektivtagande), emotionell empati (empatisk omsorg), kreativitet och psykologisk flexibilitet undersökts. Hypoteserna för studien var att perspektivtagande har en positivt korrelation med både kreativitet och psykologisk flexibilitet, att empatisk omsorg korrelerar positivt med kreativitet och psykologisk flexibilitet, samt aIn this thesis, the relationship between cognitive empathy (perspective-taking), emotional empathy (empathetic concern), creativity and psychological flexibility was examined. The hypothesis for the study was that perspective-taking has a positive correlation with both creativity and psychological flexibility, that empathetic concern has a positive correlation with creativity and psychological fle

This paper examines literature on policies used to compensate households for rising energy costs, including in-kind transfers, cash transfers and VAT reductions. It also shows how targeted transfers stand against universal transfers, and how the policy measures affect energy consumption. The study shows that the differences between cash transfers and in-kind transfers are generally small, but that

Då användaren idag är den svagaste länken inom informationssäkerhet och den svaga punkten kopplat till utbildningen inom detta är bristande engagemang och motivation hos användaren. Gamification riktar sig mot att stärka just detta och är därför ett värdefullt verktyg. Men hur gamification verkligen används inom information security awareness utbildning är oklart. Därför har denna studie genomfört

Is food aid a catalyst for recovery following external shocks? Can it serve community development in persistently food insecure areas in the long run, or does it create a dependency trap? This research aims to provide insights into these questions by conducting a case study of a soup kitchen in the South African township Masakhane that was established as an emergency response following COVID-19. T

Gamification, användningen av spelelement i icke-spelrelaterade system, har blivit ett vanligt sätt att försöka påverka systemanvändares beteende och motivation, och så även inom gym- och träningsområdet. Många implementeringar av gamification inom dessa kategorier görs dock utan eftertanke eller anpassning till målgrupp och användningsområde. Genom en kvalitativ studie av ett befintligt spelifier

All government controlled business is controlled by the law of public procurement and its five fundamental principles. If these are not fulfilled the procurement is at risk of being subject to a review procedure, which requires both time and money. Therefore it is important to ensure the quality of these processes for contracting authorities such as Region Skåne, especially in conjunction with the

För att världen ska kunna uppnå de antagna miljö- och klimatmålen och miljöanpassas, krävs nya innovativa lösningar och tekniska försörjningssystem som minskar hälso- och miljöpåverkan och som kan hantera de oförutsedda händelser klimatförändringen medför. I takt med att större avfallsvolymer genereras, ökar behovet av antalet sopbilar och därmed hämtningsintervallen. Till följd av detta ökar trafMajor revolutionary and technological developments have taken place in the world, yet developments in waste management in particular have been slower than others and remained more or less unchanged through the years. The Swedish company Envac invented the stationary automated vacuum waste collection system AVAC, an underground pipe network where waste is transported through a vacuum technique to a
