The thesis sets out to explore how surveillance technology is affecting modern parental practices. Based on 12 in-depth interviews with parents of children aged 10-17, technological surveillance and parenting are studied. The data is analyzed though a combination of both preexisting concepts of Baumrind on child development and independent constructs. The concept of remote parenting has been deriv
Since the 1930s, a dance permit regulation has been in effect in Sweden. The dance permit is required for public dance events in Sweden, and police may take photographic evidence of patrons moving in sync with the music in a dance-like fashion if they believe that ‘illegal’ dancing has transpired in an establishment that may not have filed for a dance permit. If such is the case, then this evidenc
The Swedish housing market faces a number of concerns. There are too few rental units with cheap rent available and the capital input to buy your own freehold title or tenant-ownership is skyrocketing. The threshold for entering the housing market is getting higher and groups such as young adults, new arrivals, disabled people, and the elderly are the ones who are the most exposed. Developers get
Migration is a globally studied social issue, that can cause changes in the demographic composition of the population and the structure of society. Azerbaijan has been experiencing different waves of migration in the country since gaining its independence. One of the largest waves is the emigration from rural to urban areas. Although there are studies focusing on why people leave the villages, th
Biomolecular condensates are aggregates formed from liquid-liquid phase separation through the interactions between nucleic acids and multivalent proteins. These condensates are essential for many biochemical processes inside the cell. Therefore, there has been a large effort during the last decade to create models and methods to describe these systems. Mixtures of RNA and proteins are very common
The purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of how the perception of stress for HR-professionals within staffing- and recruitment, might differentiate when working more or less from home. An additional ambition was to develop an understanding of how the work characteristics, job-demand, control and support, could have an impact on the above association. To examine this, an explorator
Syftet med studien är att bidra med ökad förståelse för orsakerna varför butiker inom den svenska dagligvaruhandeln väljer att implementera snabbkassor eller inte. Från ett företagsperspektiv vill vi därför kvalitativt undersöka vilka för- och nackdelar livsmedelsbutiker ser med snabbkassor samt hur företagen resonerar kring sin målgrupp i beslut om snabbkassor.
How do emotions influence our memory? While emotionally salient memories are typically found to be remembered better and more vividly than mundane events, emotion- memory interactions can also be maladaptive. Though ample research has emphasized the modulatory role of emotion in memory, much remains to be understood about the way in which emotions may modulate neural mechanisms underlying memory p
I takt med den globala uppvärmningen, Covid-19-pandemin och kriget i Ukraina står den svenska nötköttsbranschen inför fler utmaningar än någonsin för att framgångsrikt och långsiktigt arbeta med hållbar utveckling. I studien appliceras Triple Bottom Line vilket inkluderar social, miljövänlig och ekonomisk hållbarhet. Tidigare forskning har en avsaknad kring hur Triple Bottom Line kan appliceras fö
The societal integration of electric vehicles (EVs) imposes several challenges on the electrical grid, where congestion and overcurrents through related components are of focus for this thesis. Active network management through control systems is one flexible solution to this problem, and in the project Active Network Management for All (ANM4L), a congestion management algorithm utilizing PI contr
In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. First of all, we tried to synthesize and prepare an isati
År 2019 slår svensk media rekord i antal rapporteringar om klimakteriet. Men när det gäller hur klimakteriet ska definieras eller hur länge det pågår, går experternas åsikter isär. Enligt WHO och Socialstyrelsen är klimakteriebesvär en diagnos, som graderas utifrån 11 olika symptom av psykisk och fysisk karaktär. Symptomen är dock ganska vaga och liknar diagnoskriterierna för depression och utmatt
This study investigated whether integrative encoding in an associative inference paradigm (AIP) using naturalisitc narrative videos to present the stimuli, comes at cost of memory specificity by testing source- and details-memory of the presented videos and measuring electroencephalography (EEG). Based on earlier work (e.g. Carpenter et al., 2017), it was expected that integrative encoding in the
2,5-Furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is a promising bio-based chemical that may serve as a green alternative to polyethylene terephthalate as a raw material in manufacturing plastics. A novel method to produce FDCA from the oxidation of 2-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) using resting cells of Gluconobacter oxydans was tested in this project. The different subspecies of G. oxydans including DSM 2
This qualitative study is based on interviews with seven Afghan refugees in Sweden, and the aim is to shed light on their experiences and perspectives regarding their integration journey in Sweden. To clarify, the focus of the study is to gain knowledge on the significant factors and barriers related to the integration process. Thereby it is possible to gain a deeper understanding of the integrati
As a result of the global battle against climate change and thereby the new, green EU objectives, the Commission has finally published its revised draft Guidelines on Horizontal co-operation agreements. The Guidelines now include a Chapter dedicated to sustainability agreements. This Thesis aims at clarifying on how environmental aspects can be taken into account in the competition law assessment
This thesis explores the ways in which Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ individuals living in Sweden navigate their sense of belonging. The interview-based approach focuses on the narratives and lived experiences of self-identified Middle Eastern queers and their feelings of attachment in relation to ethnic and queer communities in Sweden as well as Swedish society. The findings show that the sense of belong
