Kan samma preparat behandla både en irriterad tarm och MS? När många tänker på bakterier hör de något dåligt och kan nog bli förskräckta av att veta att vi alla lever med upp till 100 biljoner bakterier i magen, vilket kan motsvara 1–2 kg! Men faktum är, att de här bakterierna är enormt viktiga för oss. De hjälper oss bryta ner det vi äter, håller miljön i tarmen stabil, hjälper till att träna

By making a descriptive comparison, this paper examines how the prevention against hate crime works in Sweden and Germany. The aim is to compare both the work in general, and also the work against hate crime that takes place on the Internet and in social media. A number of concepts, such as democracy, human dignity and freedom of speech, serve as the theoretical foundation. From the results, it ap

Previous research into women's patterns of migration suggests a female flight from the European weaker peripheral regions to its urban cores, due to women's experience of being economically, socially, culturally, and normatively hampered compared to men in rural space. The thesis' attempt to corroborate these results on the municipal level, with the use of survey data from Swedish yout

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the contractual relationships associated with the fair trade concept by applying organizational economics theory in order to contribute with theoretical and practical strategic management insights. The purpose stems from the underlying research problem concerning a lack of supplementary theoretical perspectives and development informing strategic de

In order to successfully produce food products containing less damaged particles (approx. 1 cm3) it is important to investigate at which limit that the particle could be subjected to processing. This study attempted to predict particle breakage using mechanical test with image analysis as method validation. The characterization of different coarse particles was done using the developed methods on

State cooperation on transboundary waters is one of our times most crucial challenges to manage as freshwater securitization is the key to human survival, food production and economic growth. State shared water resources are causes of both political tension and territorial disputes. Drawn from a realism perspective this paper analyzes how and when China choose to formalize and not formalize intern

I denna uppsats har en netnografisk studie över bullet journal-metoden och instagramanvändare som brukar denna genomförts. Syftet var att undersöka vilka funktioner som anteckningsblocken fyller för användarna, hur bullet journal-relaterade instagramkonton används samt vad det är som driver människor att publicera bilder på sina bullet journals på Instagram och vad som händer i detta gränsland mel

Uppsatsens ämnar att svara på huruvida de olika argumenten kring surrogatmödraskap avspeglar maktstrukturer i svensk medial debatt år 2019. Uppsatsen syftar även att problematisera argument som försöker legitimera en praktik som potentiellt kan exploatera sociala grupper. Utifrån mediala artiklar publicerade i fem svenska kvälls- och dagstidningar under 2019 har en argumentationsanalys utförts och

Syftet med denna undersökning är att kritiskt granska hur Sverigedemokraterna (SD) redogör för de åtgärder de anser att Sverige bör vidta i arbetet för att säkra kvinnans utsatta roll i det svenska samhället. För att nå detta mål analyserar jag Sverigedemokraternas åtgärdsrapport för mäns våld mot kvinnor i vardagen genom att göra en kritisk diskursanalys. Genom Norman Faircloughs version av krit

Medical care in Nepal is largely financed by the individual, and although insurance programs and subsidies exist, they are limited in coverage, amount of assistance provided, and level of enrollment. Medical needs that extend beyond basic health services, specifically following acute injury can lead to financial difficulties that may jeopardize the ability to maintain basic needs and can push peop

This paper analyzes the reactions of two forests, located in the same region, to drought conditions that occurred in 2018. Both locations experienced similar conditions including higher temperature and less precipitation than the previous four years. Both experienced drought that would be categorized as moderate according to standard precipitation index calculations and soil moisture values were v

Det finns flertal fall då grafdatabaser överträffar traditionella relationsdatabasers pre-standa. Är grafdatabaser potentiellt den nya lagringsmetoden vid stor mängd sam-mankopplad data? Vilka villkor krävs? För att sätta det på prov har vi skapat entestmiljö med en stor mängd relationsbunden data.In an age of increasing usage of heavily interconnected platforms, graph databases have increased in popularity due to their ease of modelling these systems. This thesis will evaluate if the graph database Neo4j can be used to model Lime's CRM System efficiently by comparing the performance of Neo4j and MS SQL on queries similar to those existing in Lime CRM. To benchmark the databases, they w

The development of today’s energy-efficient dwellings often results in highly technical building solutions. We try to shield ourselves and our buildings as much as we can from the outdoors and subsequently loose an essential connection to the elements. Traditional design principals fall into oblivion and high-rise glass towers are justified with technological progress. By implementing selective st

User onboarding has become an increasingly important aspect in applications due to the shift towards the Software as a Service business model in software companies. This results in that companies need to make sure their customers are successful with the service, or they will loose customers. An effective user onboarding strategy can give the user a good start in becoming successful in the service.

Inventory control is a subject that impacts more or less every section of most businesses, hence companies today view it as a crucial problem of strategic importance (Axsäter, 2015). Managing inventory is a complex task which can be made even more complex by considering multiple items interacting with each other throughout the supply network. This master thesis attempts to show, through a case stu

Bestämning av värmeledningsförmågan i nano-grafit Kunskap om de termiska egenskaperna hos nano-grafit (väldigt små grafitmaterial) är avgörande för att förverkliga de många lovande tillämpningarna av kolbaserade nanomaterial. För att bestämma värmeledningsförmågan i nano-grafit har tunna grafit filmer undersökts vid MAX IV-laboratoriet. Genom att undersöka hur värme förflyttas i materialet visadKnowledge about thermal properties of nanoscale graphite is essential in order to realize the many promising applications of carbon based nanomaterials. This thesis reports how samples of thin graphite films on nickel substrates were investigated using time-resolved X-ray diffraction (TRXD) at the FemtoMAX beamline at the MAX IV facility. Through these investigations the thermal conductivity of th

Den 1:a juli 2018 trädde samtyckeslagen igenom i Sverige. Lagen medförde att det enda brottsrekvisit som behöver uppfyllas för att sexuellt umgänge ska klassificeras som våldtäkt är avsaknaden av samtycke. Samtyckeslagen har varit en vattendelare då den både hyllats och kritiserats av sakkunniga, vilka hävdar att rättssäkerheten kan minska eller öka. Primär materialet består av avsnitt 5.2 och 5.3
