There are many and varied benefits associated with experiences in natural environments. This thesis examines the practices and perspectives of people who professionally facilitate and thus enable such experiences. The practices, perspectives, experiences, natural environments and their associated benefits are conceptualised as cultural ecosystem services through a framework, which is theoretically

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka argument som lyfts fram i svensk debatt för att legalisera/inte legalisera surrogatmödraskap i Sverige. Ytterligare syfte är att undersöka hur könsroller återspeglas i debatten. Studien är baserad på 18 debattartiklar från svenska tidningar där hälften debatterar för en legalisering av surrogatmödraskap och den andra hälften debatterar för en förbjudaThe aim of this study is to examine what arguments are highlighted in the Swedish debate to legalize / not legalize surrogacy in Sweden. Another aim is to examine how gender roles are reflected in the debate. The study is based on 18 debate articles from Swedish newspapers where half debate for a legalization of surrogacy and the other half debate for a prohibitive legislation. The articles have b

"Bland mästare och mentorer" är ett examensarbete som syftar till att undersöka hur fyra kompositionslärare på högskoleförberedande musikutbildningar beskriver sin undervisning i relation till sitt hantverk som tonsättare/kompositörer. Studien har ett särskilt fokus på det självständiga övandet i komposition och undersöker hur lärare själva gör och vad av detta som de vill omsätta till u"Among Masters and Mentors" is a thesis which aims to investigate how four composition teachers in college preparatory music education programs view their teaching compared to their craftmanship as composers. The study has a special focus on the independent practice of composition and examines how the teachers themselves practice and which aspects of this they wish to transfer into their

Wood decay fungi are often classified as either brown rot or white rot, depending on their mechanism of accessing nutrients in wood. This dichotomy assumes that white rot fungi break down lignin with various enzymes, while brown rot fungi leave it mostly unmodified and instead bypass it with diffusion of small molecules to reach the desired hemicellulose and cellulose. The effect of different sour

Finns alltjämt spår av BT Kemi i åvatten och sanerare? En av Sveriges största miljöskandaler håller på att klaras upp med en slutlig sanering. I 50 år har föroreningarna legat i marken och inte brutits ned. Sedan 1970-talet har kemikalier spridit sig till naturen och påverkat ekosystem och människor. I världen är bekämpningsmedel ett stort problem ur miljö-och hälsosynpunkt och kan skada männiPesticides are considered to protect crops from damage from example weeds, insects and molds but they are a global problem from environmental and health point of view. A pesticide producing factory in Sweden, known as BT Kemi, mainly produced phenoxyacetic acids, chlorophenols and chlorocresols between 1965 and 1977. Pollutants have been spread into the environment when the factory was active. The

"You are part of something bigger... You work with life.": A study about social horticultural projects- gains, obstacles and possibilities. The public interest in gardening and horticulture is growing, in Sweden and internationally. Despite this, social horticultural projects still earned little attention in Swedish research. This paper aimed to examine social projects that use horticul

This qualitative study was about examining how the activity organizers in GoFaR work to meet, motivate and support the young people to keep them in a meaningful everyday life and thus promote their health. GoFaR was a project at Socialförvaltningen in Helsingborg. GoFaR stands for jointly arranged physical activity on prescription. The method was developed based on the FAR-method (physical activit

As a result of globalization and postmodern confusion, simple place-based identities may be becoming obsolete. Malmö Finns, on the other hand, are part of a thousand-year-old tradition of migration from Finland to Sweden and a long history of in-betweenness. Inspired by phenomenological approaches to geography, this thesis explores the mental landscapes of Malmö Finns and aims to understand how th

The European Spallation Source (ESS) is an accelerator driven research facility under construction. Once commissioned, a linear accelerator supplies protons to a target, whereupon neutrons are generated through a process called “spallation”. Neutron beam time will be available for a variety of scientific experiments. Ionising radiation and the activation of material exposed to it is a consequence

Målet med denna uppsats är att bidra med en koncis introduktion till algebrans fundamentalsats som säger att varje polynom av grad minst 1 har minst ett komplext nollställe. I arbetet går vi igenom grunderna inom Sylows satser, kroppteori och Galoisteori och använder deras satser och definitioner för att demonstrera ett nästan algebraiskt bevis för algebrans fundamentalsats. Innehållet och uppläggBy the results of the Sylow theorems, algebraic extension theorems and Galois theory, we shall prove the fundamental theorem of algebra, which states that the set of complex numbers is algebraically closed. This process of abstraction will provide an almost algebraic proof of the theorem and thereby supply us with a tool in solving many questions within the field of mathematics.

Bakgrund: Coronapandemin har medfört restriktioner där bland annat besöksförbud infördes från 30 mars till 1 oktober 2020 på äldreboenden i Sverige. Författarna undersöker hur besöksförbudet har påverkat hur chefer arbetar med socialt utanförskap och för att främja social inkludering under denna tidsperiod. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur chefer på äldreboenden i Sverige har arbetat för att förhBackground: The corona pandemic in Sweden has led to a legislative restriction preventing visitation in nursing homes from March the 30th to October the 1st 2020. This means none was allowed to visit the elderly indoors to prevent outbreaks. Aim: The aim is to describe how managers in nursing homes in Sweden have worked to prevent social isolation for the elderly during the corona pandemic. Metho

Så får du en lycklig hund Människan och hunden har levt nära och tillsammans med varandra under tiotusentals år och därför har hunden mer och mer blivit beroende av människans omvårdnad. Men beroendet är ömsesidigt – hunden spelar nämligen många gånger en lika stor roll för ägaren där denne får sitt omvårdnadsbehov, någon att ta hand om, tillgodosett. Relationen mellan en hundägare och dess hund When studying a child’s ability to form an attachment to a parent it has become clear that the caregiving style shown by the person giving it plays a crutial role. Four standard descriptions of such caregiving styles (secure, disorganized, anxious and avoidant) has made it possible to investigate whether the relationship between child and caregiver could be reflected by their attachment style and

Stray light suppression using a method inspired by lock-in amplification, called periodic shadowing, is examined and demonstrated for a measurement involving a streak camera. The experiment consists of resolving the fluorescent decay of the dye Rhodamine B (RhB) and examining both the rise and the decay of the fluorescence. A simple mono exponential model is fitted to determine the lifetime of the

Galectins are in the centre of an intricate communications system within the cells and designing inhibitory ligands for them has proved useful in discerning the expression and retardation of various diseases. Galectins traditionally bind via carbohydrate recognition domains to carbohydrate ligands. Currently, only limited research has been conducted in regard of finding suitable glycomimetic ligan

Previous research has found that the euro increases FDI flows, yet the evidence of to what extent the EMU membership enhances FDI flows differs between studies. This thesis aims to estimate the impact the financial crisis has had on FDI flows and to further compare the impact the crisis has had on the euro countries to non-euro countries. Bilateral FDI data for both inflows and outflows for the OE

Antimicrobial resistance is according to the World Health Organization (WHO) one of the most rapidly growing threats to world health. According to a recently published WHOreport, drug resistant microbials could be responsible for up to 10 million annual deaths by the year 2050 unless drastic measures are taken such as decreasing misuse and developing new antibiotics. This work explores the possibi

Matrisfunktioner och deras applikationer spelar en viktig roll inom olika vetenskaps- och teknikområden. Matrisexponentialen är en av de viktigaste och mest använda funktionerna av matriser. Beräkningen av exponentialen av en matris är ett intressant ämne som har studerats mycket genom åren. Det finns flera sätt att beräkna matrisexponentialen men det är en utmaning att hitta vilken metod som är bMatrix functions and their applications play an important role in different fields of science and engineering. The matrix exponential is one of the most important and extensively used function of matrices. The computation of the exponential of a matrix is an interesting topic that has been extensively studied over the years. There are several ways computing the matrix exponential but there is a pu

Frågan om ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer har övervägts vid flera tillfällen. Dels med anledning av Sveriges anslutning till FN:s Internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering (ICERD) som ålägger konventionsstaterna att förbjuda rasistiska organisationer, dels med anledning av den organiserade rasismen i Sverige. I förarbeten har det argumenterats för attThe issue of a ban on racist organizations has been considered on several occasions. There are two main reasons for said consideration; firstly, because of Sweden’s association to the United Nations’ International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), which requires the States Parties to ban racist organizations; and secondly, because of the issue of organize

Den ideella föreningen är en av få oreglerade associationsformer i svensk rätt. Dess syfte är primärt ideellt men möjligheten finns att genom dem del- vis bedriva näringsverksamhet. I mindre till medelstora ideella föreningar består styrelsen av mestadels obetalda lekmän, vilket leder till att risken för att något går fel är hög, något som kan innebära ekonomisk skada för föreningen. Vid en sådan The non-profit association is one of few unregulated associations in the Swedish legal system. Its purpose is primarily non-profit, but with the possibility to conduct economic activity within the association. The board in small to medium-sized non-profit associations consist mostly of unpaid laymen, which increases the risk of malpractice with economic damage as a result. In that particular situa
