Bakgrund: tidigare studier visar att kvinnor upplever att föräldragrupper inte förbereder dem för amning. Det är viktigt att studera hur kvinnor upplever amningsinformation under graviditeten då detta kan öka amningsfrekvensen. Syfte: Att undersöka kvinnors upplevelse av amningsinformation under graviditeten. Metod: en kvalitativ studie gjordes och elva kvinnor intervjuades. Kvalitativ innehålls

Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite

The bearing principles of the Law of support and Service for people with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) are to create a freer and more self-determined user, limit government intrusion and paternalism. This whilst the main objectives of the Health Care Law are to uphold good health and care on equal terms for the entire population. This essay investigates whether these two principles might be

This report describes the development of a green design camera concept for Axis Communications AB. The problem description for this thesis stated that the concept should be developed by modifying one of Axis current products to achieve a decrease in environmental impact. Also, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of the camera should not be increased and the concept should be able to fulfill the same mec

In conventional design of pile foundations, all loads are taken by the piles, i.e. the contact pressure between the raft and the soil is neglected. In the last decades geotechnical engineers have started to take this pressure into account in design of pile foundation. Such a foundation, where the raft and the piles interact to transfer the loads to the ground, is in this dissertation called piled

In mining for extraction of metals residues are often produced. A frequently produced residue is tailings, which potentially contains high amount of metals, soluble salts and acids. Therefore, it is often necessary to deposit, the tailings in stable impoundments, namely tailings dams, if not all tailings produced is used as backfill in mines. In the construction of the tailings dam in Garpenberg,

This master’s dissertation has been performed in cooperation with Tyréns and the Dept. of Construction Sciences, LTH. We have investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations with retaining structures and if each side of an excavation could be treated as a separate 2D-case with additional theories to approximate its 3D-effects. End-surface theories from the Commissio

This bachelor thesis and Minor Field Study examines how women’s experiences of security are used in the process of implementing UNSCR 1325 in Serbia. The essay aims to touch the boundary between security policy in its traditional sense and a standpoint feminist view on security. Feminist security policy has gained ground the latest decades, and have contributed to a wider focus on human security i

Retrotransposons are mobile elements that build up an extensive part of our genome, and can create genomic instability through new insertions. LINE1 is a subtype of transposons that are still active in human and mice, and can both copy themselves, and assist other retroelements to new insertions, but are strongly regulated by different enzymes. Neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) are present

Många ser idag cykeltrafiken som en lösning på flera av de problem som motortrafiken genererar. Kommuner och samhällsplanerare arbetar aktivt för att öka andelen cyklister, något som också ser ut att lyckas. Idag används mikrosimuleringsmodeller främst för motortrafik och till viss del gående men mikrosimuleringsmodeller kommer vara ett av de redskap som används för att ta fram attraktiva och effeA semi-automatic way of calibrating micro-simulation models in Vissim with the elementary effects method is used on a traffic simulation over a mixed traffic crossing in Lund. The analysis is carried out by writing a script in Visual Basic connecting to Vissim via COM objects that iterates the elementary effects method over the whole range of suitable parameters. Speed and acceleration gets the hi

Symmetri är något vi växer upp med. Från vår första kontakt med ett ansikte, till fjärilar och blommor. Vi står på två likadana fötter och har därför lättare att balansera under jordens dragningskraft, fåglar har lika långa vingar och kan därför lättare flyga. På samma sätt som vi undviker att tippa med hjälp av det spegel-plan som går mellan våra ögon, kan symmetri användas för att undvika att keA new code for automatic detection of point groups and for symmetrization of molecular geometry and wavefunctions is presented. Performance and accuracy improvements to a previously designed algorithm for point group determination and an algorithm for symmetrization of said point groups, using linear transformations onto predefined coordinates is described. The new algorithm can find the 120 symme

In today’s Europe which is facing increased immigration flows and xenophobic attitudes, there is a growing pressure on creating integration policies which have the ability of dismantling negative attitudes. As intercultural dialogue is believed to decrease these attitudes and create an inclusive society, the aim of this thesis has been to critically review the Swedish multicultural integration ap

In the recent decade, European populist radical right parties have gained stronger position in politics, which is seen in both stronger voter support but also in greater legitimacy and increased political influence. However, there are differences between the newer and older member states of the European Union. Among the Eastern countries, who joined the union in 2004 or 2007, there are fewer succe

De senaste decennierna har fotbollsvärlden genomgått en accelererande kommersialiseringsprocess, där enskilda investerare fått ett ökat inflytande. Den österrikiska klubben SV Austria Salzburg köptes 2005 upp av läskedrycksföretaget Red Bull som gjorde en total omdaning av klubben, med bland annat byte av namn och klubbfärger som följd. Bland supportrar, men även inom forskningen, beskrivs Red Bu

Denna uppsats undersöker komparativt de tre nordiska partierna Sverigedemokraterna, Dansk Folkeparti och Fremskrittspartiet, som alla tre brukar benämnas som främlingsfientliga och nationalistiska. Med utgångspunkt av partiernas så kallade principprogram görs analyser av partiernas självbild, som den kommer till uttryck där. Begreppen nationalism och populism som ofta brukar användas i samband med

This thesis examines if it’s possible for Global Cities to claim international political authority on a legitimate basis of State Capacity. How is it that Global Cities can develop their own independent foreign and security policies even though these areas traditionally have been seen as a monopolized core function of the nation state and its central governments? Why do the international system of

This essay explores the foreign policy rhetoric of China through its official press agency Xinhua’s English web-based version in the case of China’s territorial dispute with Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu//Diaoyutai (S/D) islands. The dispute was brought to life in September 2012 and the essay covers Xinhua’s rhetoric between then and September 2014 through a rhetorical analysis of articles publish

When dealing with a process aiming for peace it is common to focus on the conflict issues themselves, and leave other issues to deal with later. But what if these other issues are obstacles to the peace process itself? The purpose of this thesis is to widen the perspective of peacebuilding studies, and shed some light on the issue of sex trafficking and its relation to peace processes. To investig

The concept of citizenchip and its role in how we organize our societies is subject to a great discussion within social and political science. In this essay I aim to problematize and lighten the complexity of citizenship. I also aim to lighten new ways of understanding and use citizenchip. I do this by apply parts of the ongoing discussion about citizenship on an actual situation. The situation f
