The development of circus as a subject in the community school of music and art, “Kulturskolan”, is strongly influenced by the history and traditions of the circus. Historically, the circus has been a nomadic art form without established institutions, which poses challenges when integrating into Kulturskolan. Circus differs considerably from other subjects at the Kulturskola and it requires spec

This study aimed to explore how women, as the dominated, evaluate an institution (the court) that is under the control of the dominant from a gender perspective. To fulfill the research aims and provide empirical evidence to the field, this thesis has conducted a quantitative and qualitative analysis to explore the observed phenomena and understand them within the socio-legal theoretical framework

Sweden is considered one of the most prominent countries for gender equality, with relatively high levels of female board members at publicly listed companies. However, the EU Law on Gender Balance on Boards implemented in 2022 adds pressure for Sweden to maintain, and improve, gender distribution on boards since Sweden was able to opt out of the law. There is a lack of research on the topic for S

This project named Kursi aims to address the design challenges specific to the moun- tainous regions of Nepal. These areas are renowned for trekking and can only be reached after days of arduous hiking or by air travel, typically through helicopters. Tourism plays a significant role in the lives of the local communities, and the landscape has adapted to accommodate these temporary residents who

I entreprenadformen totalentreprenad upphandlar entreprenören konsulten och har därmed ansvar för både projektering och utförande. För att öka produktiviteten och innovationsgraden i järnvägsprojekt ökade Trafikverket antal projekt upphandlade som totalentreprenader mellan år 2012 och 2018. Det skapade en stor ovana för aktörerna i sättet att arbeta. Idag har företagen i järnvägsbranschen vant sigIn design-build contracts the contractor purchase the consultant and is therefore responsible for both design and execution. To increase productivity and innovation in railway projects Trafikverket, Swedish Transport Administration, increased the number of design-build contracts between 2012 to 2018. This created large unfamiliarity in the way of working for the actors. Today the companies in the

Elektroniska produkter har stor betydelse i vår moderna livsstil, men i många fall är det svårt eller omöjligt för konsumenter att reparera dessa produkter. En snabb teknologisk utveckling har resulterat i mer avancerade och komplexa produkter samtidigt som flera faktorer försvårar reparation. Tillverkare kan begränsa reparation genom att bland annat begränsa tillgång till reservdelar, verktyg ochThe concept of “right to repair” has increasingly gained attention during the last few years. What originally started as a movement by consumers frustrated by their inability to repair the products they own, has now evolved politically and led to different types of legislation to promote product repairability and reduce the environmental impact of mass consumption. However, exactly what the right

I dagens individualistiska samhälle förväntas individer besitta förmågan att effektivt kunna leda sig själva, ett fenomen som tidigare forskning benämnt självledarskap. Fenomenet har främst studerats på personer i ledande positioner eller i kunskapsintensiva yrken, varpå denna studie ämnar att studera självledarskap i en ny kontext. Syftet med studien är att bidra med kunskap om forskningsområdet

Increasingly connected to urban development and vitality in modern discourses of urban sociology, live music is a social and cultural phenomenon with great potential for improving people’s, including artists, well-being. Still, the systems and networks which shape live music are specific to their local social, cultural and institutional contexts, leading to a range of perceptions. Focusing on the

In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. The Swedish Research Council is supporting a project called Solar Food: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses Through Improved Solar Drying, which aims to create a low-cost solar

Growing urbanization and densification means that children in many parts of the world are growing up in settlements difficult to experience nature in. As green space is likely to decrease in the future, and children have little say in impacting what they want their environments to look like, understanding how public spaces can be utilized in ways that more carefully address children’s needs requir

Efterfrågan på biobränslen ökar som ett resultat av höjda klimatreducerande ambitioner som syftar till att ersätta användningen av fossila bränslen. För att möta den ökande efterfrågan uppmärksammas alternativet att odla energigrödor på jordbruksmark för produktion av biobränslen allt mer. Eftersom jordbruksmark är en knapp resurs kan konflikter uppstå mellan livsmedelsproduktion och biomassa för The demand for biofuels is increasing as a result of increased climate mitigation ambitions aiming to replace the use of fossil fuels. To meet the increasing demand, energy crops grown on agricultural land used to produce biofuels is getting more and more attention. Since agricultural land is a scarce resource, conflicts can arise between food production and biomass for biofuels, making it essenti

The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze, from a socio-legal perspective, how appellate courts create legitimacy for their decisions in custody cases concerning custody, residence, and visitation where the phenomenon of parental alienation occurs. Parental alienation is when a child is deliberately turned against one of their parents through manipulation or influence, often by the othe

I vanliga rum, som till exempel klassrum och kontor, är grunden för akustisk behandling oftast ett ljudabsorberande undertak. På grund av att större delen av ljudabsorptionen är koncentrerad till en yta kommer den ljudspridande och ljudabsorberande effekten av möbleringen att ha en signifikant inverkan på rumsakustiska parametrar såsom efterklangstid, taltydlighet och ljudstyrka. Speciellt så kommIn ordinary public rooms such as classrooms and offices, the base line of acoustical treatment is an absorbent suspended ceiling. Due to the non-uniform distribution of the absorptive ceiling material, the scattering as well as the absorption properties of furniture will have a significant effect on room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time, speech clarity and sound strength. In particul
