Society faces multiple and interconnected crises that require transformation. Education has long been theorized as key to transformation, yet an important driver of transformation, imagination, is marginalised within pedagogical approaches to sustainability. This thesis examines Beyond the Fossil Era (BFE), a pedagogy that invites learners to become co-creators of a speculative museum looking back

In food production facilities, packagings are quality inspected to ensure proper sealing and correct atmo- sphere within. The project was done in collaboration with Gasporox AB (publ), a company developing and producing quality inspection instruments. The goal of the project was to develop a new version of an exiting instrument of theirs. In addition to that, develop a portable inspection de

Bakgrund: Meningsfulla aktiviteter är viktigt för att uppleva hälsa och välbefinnande. Idag finns en brist på meningsfulla aktiviteter för personer med demens som bor på särskilt boende för äldre. Personer med demens kan ha svårt att självständigt engagera sig i aktiviteter. Arbetsterapeuter har möjlighet att stötta människor att engagera sig i meningsfulla aktiviteter. Syfte: Att identifiera hur Background: Meaningful activities are important for experiencing health and well-being. Today there is a lack of meaningful occupations among people with dementia living in residential aged care facilities. People with dementia may have difficulty engaging in activities independently. Occupational therapists have the opportunity to support people to engage in meaningful activities. Aim: To identif

Release of extracellular vesicles is an evolutionarily conserved trait present among all life forms. Bacterial extracellular vesicles are released in the extracellular space to interact with the surrounding environment. The vesicles are known to be involved in cell-cell, intra species communication and produced in response to stress. Recently, emerging evidence of virulence factors present in vesi

Sports facilities, in general, have the highest energy use in Sweden, compared with other buildings. Sports facilities are usually very wide and have a high ceiling height. This makes it hard for buildings as such to allow for the same daylight integration as in e.g. traditional office spaces. Electric lighting is very often used to supply the high illuminance demands inside sports halls. Since mo

In this study, we aim to apply and compare modified models for fake news detection, namely Two-level Convolutional Neural Network (TCNN) and Two-level Convolutional Neural Network with User Response (TCNN-UR) used in Qian et al. (2018) on social media news in Vietnamese. We also compare our best-fitted model performance to the best model in Hieu et al. (2020) to find how important the corpus size

Detta examensarbete har undersökt tillämpningen av förpackningar för färsk frukt och grönsaker, med fokus på onödiga förpackningar. Olika faktorer påverkar frukt och grönsaker efter skörd som är relevanta att beakta vid förvaring och hantering. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur användningen av förpackningar ser ut för frukt och grönsaker. Arbetet ska även utforska butikers och konsumenters syn This degree project has studied the use of packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables focusing on excess packaging. Different factors after harvest affect fruits and vegetables that are of relevance to consider when storing and handling these. The purpose of this study has been to find used. The approach on the subject from out how packaging for fruits and vegetables is grocery stores and consume

To achieve effective product development with the help of computer-aided engineering, accurate material models are of importance to make well-motivated predictions regarding structural properties. Haldex AB produce, among other products, brakes for heavy vehicles. Finite element simulations are well incorporated in the development of the caliper, which is casted in ductile cast iron. To get a bett

The past decades have seen an exponential growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) market as use of this high-energy storage has found applications in nearly every industry. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) is interested in implementing this technology within their underground network and this literature review is intended to assist with addressing fire and safety concerns. Thi

The purpose of the study is to contribute to the research gap on the relationship between employee engagement and a purpose-driven organizational mode. Our research, which adheres to the interpretive tradition of symbolic interactionism (SI) comprises a qualitative single-case study in a purpose-driven organization and follows an abductive approach. We generated our empirical data by collecting 12

Title: Corporate Sustainability Strategy: From Formulation to Implementation – A Single-Case Study of the Manufacturing Industry Examining Strategy Implementation Tools And Influences of Contextual Factors Seminar date: June 3, 2022 Authors: Jakob Paul Leopold Krenn & Oriane Marina Rütsche Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Course: BUSN09 – Degree Project in MSc International Strategic Managemen

After the proposed EU Data Act was released in February this year, the facilitation of data sharing was emphasized, which might bring many aspects of impact. In particular, the implications for data portability and database protection. The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the intersection between the EU sui generis database right and the EU right to data portability, and to which

The purpose of this master thesis is to develop a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of managerial humor in the workplace and find out how it influences employees' commitment in contemporary organizations. This report contains qualitative research in the interpretivist tradition in the form of a single case study. Ten in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather the empiric

This paper analyzes the impact of reproductive outcomes on women's participation in their family's decision-making and on the share of the household's resources allocated to them. It also examines the effects on labor, time use, and health-related outcomes. Two main sources of variation in reproductive outcomes are used: an increase in the number of children, instrumented by the event

Hur skapar vi hållbara åtgärder? Hållbarhetsarbetet i kommuner behöver påskyndas, men visste du att just kommunen är en av de viktigaste spelarna för att bekämpa klimat-förändringarna och nå våra globala hållbarhetsmål? Målsättningar såsom Agenda 2030 används ofta till strategier på olika maktnivåer, och för att uppnå dessa mål för hållbar utveckling, pekas den lokala nivån ut som en mycket viGlobal development goals such as Agenda 2030 often serve as local guidelines for municipalities and research highlights the local power efforts to be significantly important for achieving sustainable development. The UN predicts a continued increase in urbanization and due to its multifaceted role, municipalities are expected to have an advantageous space to tackle difficulties and explore solutio

The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests brought national attention to the issue of police brutality against black Americans. Across the US, millions of people participated in the protests. This study was conducted with the aim to study news coverage of those events from a socio-legal perspective. The purpose was to better understand the nexus of social movements, news media, and the law through t

Machine learning has acquired a lot of attention in the economic forecasting literature in recent years. In this thesis we forecast Swedish energy consumption and compare the forecasting performance of a machine learning technique with that of more traditional time series models. In fact, the LSTM neural network is compared with ARIMA and VAR forecasts. We conclude that in our setting, while these

Psykiska besvär är vanliga hos barn och ungdomar och gör det svårare att fungera i vardagen. Tidigare forskning visar flera samband mellan olika typer av psykiska besvär (symptomdimensioner) och funktionsområden (exempelvis skola, socialt), men det finns få studier som har undersökt flera symptomdimensioner och flera funktionsområden samtidigt. Den här uppsatsen undersökte samband mellan tre symptMental health problems are prevalent and impairing in childhood and adolescence. Earlier research shows multiple links between different mental health symptom dimensions and different areas of everyday functioning (e.g., school, friends), but there is a dearth of studies investigating multiple symptoms dimensions and multiple areas of functioning at the same time.
