This study aims to explore the impact of paid work in the Ethiopian export-oriented garment industry on women’s empowerment, as perceived by the women themselves. The study first explores the reasons for why and how women pursue paid work in the industry. It further examines the ways in which paid work might affect women’s intra-household decision-making. By focusing on the experiences among vario
Jordbrukets intensitet har under de senaste decennierna ökat genom effektiviserad teknikanvändning och ökade insatser av pesticider och växtnäring. Detta har inte bara lett till ökade skördar utan även till negativa konsekvenser för den biologiska mångfalden i jordbrukslandskapet.I denna studie inventerades förekomsten av kärlväxter i 160 höstvetefält (Triticum aestivum L.) på 32 gårdar i Uppsala-
The growth of building energy simulation tools has provided users with a variety of alternatives to model and simulate buildings. The algorithms used in each building energy simulation software are different and range from simple to highly complex. TEKNOsim is a simple design tool based on analytical and empirical algorithms. It is used for calculating building thermal loads and simulating indoor
The eighteenth century saw the slow but steady rise of the middling classes to their nineteenth century social and cultural prominence, reinforced by a changing political landscape and the steadily increasing importance of the market. As the social and cultural power of the city burghers making up the majority of the middling classes grew, so did they start to consume in a manner to reflect to the
Research on the Online Informal Learning of English has found that social media can facilitate language learning, mainly in the domain of vocabulary. It does so not only by providing the necessary language input, but also through the unique ways in which social media platforms encourage interaction between the user and the content as well as with other users. The present study investigated English
This masters thesis deals with smoke spread via ventilation systems. One aim of the thesis is to investigate and explain the differences in efforts to prevent smoke spread via ventilation systems in different countries. A second aim of this thesis is to investigate how frequently occurring smoke spread via ventilation systems in Swedish buildings are. A third aim is to investigate how uncertaintieThis masters thesis deals with smoke spread via ventilation systems.

Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the effectiveness of using specific alarms for each hazardversus the effectiveness of using a single alarm for all hazards in multi-hazard facilities. Theresearch was conducted by disseminating online questionnaires containing audio files of differentalarms to occupants of multi-hazards facilities and conducting interviews with safety expertsworking at mult
In recent years radical right parties have gained electoral strength across Europe,while the vote share of social democratic parties has declined. Using regional data and two fixed effect models this study investigates the impact of manufacturing employment and a range of other economic and demographic variables on the vote share of these parties in both national and European parliament elections
The raw material tier in companies’ supply chains can be a hotspot for sustainability issues like deforestation and resulting legal, reputational, financial and operational risks – yet companies’ supply chain management efforts as well as research on sustainable supply chain management still focus on direct suppliers due to poor upstream transparency. With technical progress, remote sensing and sa
Ziel der Arbeit ist es, eine Analyse sozio-technischer Energieszenarien durchzuführen, um herauszufi nden, inwieweit soziologische Dimensionen beziehungsweise Konzepte in diesem enthalten sind und welche dabei am häufi gsten aufgegriff en werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeitist eine qualitati ve Inhaltsanalyse dieser Energieszenarien nach Mayring durchgeführt worden.Dabei bestand der theoreti sche H
Our society is built upon energy – we need energy for its functioning and development.However, given our current dependence on non-renewable energy sources, a more sustainableuse needs to be achieved. A new tool of science and sustainability communication isvisualization to increase public awareness and understanding of energy issues.The aim of the study was to examine how energy data can be visua
Grundskolan i Sverige har sedan 1962 haft den form den har idag och innehållet har styrts av läroplaner och kursplaner. De har förnyats och omformulerats under åren och Sverige har hittills haft fem olika läroplaner. I denna uppsats har jag undersökt diskursen gällande kön och genus med fokus på musikämnet i läroplaner och kursplaner. Jag har även undersökt en del kringmaterial. Jag har gjort en k
In-order to meet today’s stringent emission regulations of the European Union, the use of low-carbon fuels in ICE, for instance, Natural Gas (CNG)1 is on the limelight. Due to the high knock-resisting properties of methane (high octane rating), the SI (Spark-Ignition) combustion process is the best match with CNG1. A major disadvantage with an SI engine is its low thermal efficiency mainly due to
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad som händer när en ny musikpedagogisk idé/metod införs och etableras i ett sammanhang där det redan finns en dominerande metod. Undersökningen består utav en kvalitativ forskningsstudie med djupintervjuer av två danska Suzuki teacher trainers och med en narrativ analysmetod som verktyg. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är ett sociokulturellt perspektiv ochThe aim of this study is to scrutinize what happens when a new music pedagogical approach is introduced in a context already dominated by another method. This is a qualitative research study using a narrative analysis method on two in depth interviews with two Danish Suzuki teacher trainers. The theoretical point of view is a sociocultural perspective and mainly cultural-historical activity theory
Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur musikutbildningsprogrammet El Sistema vid Malmö Kulturskola beskrivs i media och officiella dokument (2011–2017). Detta görs genom en ideologikritisk dokumentanalys och med kritisk realism som teoretiskt ramverk. Resultatet visar att El Sistema beskrivs som en riktad politisk insats med aspirationer på att vara ett integrationsprojekt, verksamt i mångku
The severity of the crisis in the Southern Eurozone countries is frequently attributed to inflated economies and reckless spending. Thus, it isn’t surprising that the main interpretation is that the crisis ought to be solved by decreasing government spending and lowering wages. This paper argues, instead, that one of the core underlying reasons for the severity of the crisis in the Southern Eurozo
