I en värld där vi människor reser och handlar mycket på en global marknad transporteras många organismer till nya delar av världen där de aldrig tidigare funnits. De flesta klarar sig inte i den nya miljön utan dör, men en del trivs och frodas. När sådana arter etableras och förökar sig på platser utanför sitt naturliga utbredningsområde kan det följas av negativa konsekvenser för arter som funnitInvasive alien species cause harm to native flora and fauna, and can ultimately via biotic interactions and alterations of the abiotic conditions change entire ecosystems. They have therefore during the last decades gotten more attention and are now recognised as one of the major threats to biodiversity worldwide. When invasive plants establish in an area, one concern is that their presence can af

Bakgrund: Både operationssjuksköterskor och kirurger har ett ansvar att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner och det lidande VRI orsakar patienten. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka operationssjuksköterskors samt kirurgers följsamhet till WHO’s riktlinjer i preoperativ handdesinfektion. Metod: Kvantitativ observationsstudie. Deltagarna observerades under utförandet av preoperativ handdesinf

A linear system – one that extracts materials and then puts them in landfills and incinerates them, thus creating a demand for even more materials – is fundamentally unsustainable. Swedish waste management is thought by many to be progressive and at the forefront, when looking at the waste hierarchy. While there is a ban on landfilling non-hazardous and organic waste in Sweden, around 50% is incin

Under certain conditions, the crystal phases in III-V semiconductor nanowires can be controlled, opening up the possibility to create polytype heterostructures with atomically sharp interfaces. The focus of this thesis lies on GaAs nanowires exhibiting the wurtzite (wz) and zinc-blende (zb) crystal structure. Since controlled growth of the wz phase of GaAs has only been achieved recently, knowledg

Möjligheten att korrigera den juridiska könstillhörigheten är en process som realiserades under 1970-talet i Sverige genom en specifik könstillhörighetslag. Lagen innebar en viss frigörelse för människor att själva bestämma vilken könsidentitet de identifierade sig med och skulle stå registrerade under i folkbokföringen. Som motprestation ställdes dock ett antal krav på de personer som ville korriThe ability to change the official gender identification was introduced in Sweden, by a particular law regulation, in the beginning of 1970s century. The law meant a certain liberation for people to, independently decide their one gender identity, and which official gender identification they required to get registered into. At the same time, the law also demanded a several conditions in return of

Haloacid dehalogenase (HAD)-like hydrolases represent a vast superfamily characterised by their ability to form covalent enzyme-substrate intermediates facilitating the cleavage of C-Cl, C-P, or CO-P bonds. Within this work one member of this superfamily, HAD from Thermotoga neopolitana (HADTn) exhibiting a phosphatase (P-O bond cleavage) like activity was investigated in the context of altering t

Nowadays, consumers are daily exposed to an overflow of content in mainstream media. Many companies have developed a trend where they target different sexual orientations as separate segments in order to create a closer relationship to all consumers. However, when companies use homosexual themes in their advertising, it can be perceived as a sensitive area, especially when including minority group

På grund av den potential som har upptäcks med ett samarbete mellan den växande e-handeln och den personliga detaljhandeln har omnikanal fått en hög prioritering hos nordiska klädföretag. Komplexiteten med att skapa omnikanalslösningar som fungerar sömlöst innefattar ett omfattande arbete. Utifrån detta samt bristen på tidigare forskning är det intressant att studera kring ämnet, hur olika klädför

In this paper, we study the effect of raising the fee for non-attendance on non-attendance rates in health care from a Swedish perspective. We do this by using a difference in difference design and exploiting a natural experiment in Sweden, where one county increased non-attendance fee to the double and the other county had a constant fee. Data on individual level allows us to investigate a genera

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate what the blockchain technology is and how it can be used to store digital certificates. Blockchain has gotten lots of attention since it was presented in 2008 for the digital currency Bitcoin. Certificates are present in many different industries. The work done in this thesis has an exploratory approach. The work performed consists of a case study and

Cardiac arrest is a common cause of death. Medical treatment consists of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, comprising chest compressions and ventilation (both of which can be either manually or automatically provided) to recover the normal functioning of the heart. A good modelling of the process is essential to be able to study different current methods, providing a better understanding of the proc

This paper aims to investigate the trend of satellite museums as a phenomenon through examining the Malmö branch of Moderna Museet. The paper explores satellite museums’aspects of power by applying the theories presented by Michel Foucault and Tony Bennett. By studying the case of Moderna Museet Malmö and comparing it to international satellite museums, it is put in an international context and an

Officiellt sett har den Europeiska Unionen (EU) en klar ambition att utveckla ett asylsystem som överensstämmer med skyldigheter enligt internationella instrument för mänskliga rättigheter. Kritiker har dock sedan mer än 20 år ifrågasatt huruvida EU:s regelverk avseende asyl och migration står i överensstämmelse med till exempel principen om non-refoulement som etableras i Genèvekonventionen av deThe European Union (EU) has officially expressed an ambition to develop a common European asylum system consistent with international human rights obligations. However, the compatibility of the EU asylum system with international human rights and with the principle of non-refoulement, established in the Geneva Convention of 28 July 1951, have been questioned over the last 20 years. This study exa

Ett sätt att angripa de miljöproblem vi står inför idag är att sträva mot en cirkulär ekonomi. En cirkulär ekonomi där avfall inte uppstår utan där produkter istället utnyttjas till fullo och material cirkuleras antingen via materialåtervinning eller regenereras via biosfären. Syftet med detta examensarbete, som har genomförts hos den koncernövergripande upphandlingsenheten i Malmö stad, är att bi

This thesis investigates the volatility structures found in forward-looking fundamental valuations of the Swedish stock index OMXS30. The evaluated data constitutes daily observations of P/E ratios based on twelve months earnings estimates during the period 2009-01-02 until 2018-10-18. The analysis is conducted by applying a GARCH modelling framework to a log-return transformed return series deriv

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka högläsning i dagens svenska skola. Som teoretiskt ramverk används Judith Langers litterära föreställningsvärldar och Lev Vygotskys zone of proximal development. Genom intervjuer med fyra lärare undersöks första syftet. Därefter genomförs en elektronisk enkätundersökning, vilken besvaras av 100 högstadieelever på tre olika skolor. Resultatet från inteThe purpose of this master thesis is divided into two parts. The first part intend to investigate in what way Swedish teachers in secondary school use the method reading aloud in their classroom teaching and what their opinion about reading aloud is. The second part intend to investigate secondary school students´ attitudes regarding reading aloud. The theories used are Judith Langer´s world of id

The current healthcare system in Sweden suffers from major problems when it comes cost-efficiency and delivery of healthcare services. Unsustainable increase in healthcare cost over the past few decades has led to that Government funding is no longer keeping pace with increasing demand and complexity. There a several ways to address this issue, one is to implement a new healthcare delivery model w
