Background: The Andean indigenous philosophy known as Buen Vivir or Sumak Kawsay, loosely translated into Good Living or Well Living, is rarely studied within the field of public health. The studied philosophy has been institutionalized in Bolivian and Ecuadorian constitutions, why it sets the agenda for health in the Andean region. The ongoing progression of the health definition, combined with gThis study has looked upon how a philosophy called Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir explains what health means. The studied philosophy has its origins in the Andes in Latin America. The reason why this study was done came from the writers wish to understand what the philosophy meant, and how it could be used within public health-work. The writer thought that it is important to include different explanat

Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka inre motivationsfaktorers påverkan på anställdas motivationsnivå, i en bransch som är förknippad med monetära belöningssystem. Metod: En kvalitativ fallstudie genomfördes i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med åtta respondenter. Detta för att få en djup inblick i hur anställda upplever att de motiveras. Insamlad data analyserades utifrån grundad teori och jämföPurpose: The purpose is to examine the impact of intrinsic motivation factors on employee motivation levels, in an industry associated with monetary reward systems. Methodology: A qualitative case study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with eight respondents. This was done to get a greater insight into how employees perceive their motivation. The collected data was analyzed based

Partiklar i universum, också här på jorden, rör sig på grund av krafter som uppkommer ur egenskaper hos materien runt om oss. Föremål som fotbollar, löv och cyklister faller till marken på grund av gravitation, egenskapen att materia attraherar genom att ha en massa. Stålfjädrar kan dra ihop och trycka isär föremål på grund av krafter i materialet. Dessa krafter kommer ur potentialer som dikterar Research has been conducted on integrable, Newtonian systems by B. Söderberg amongst others. Scientists uses the Hamiltonian energy landscape to simulate such systems by discretising the continuum. Non-integrable systems, however, show chaotic properties, when the Hamiltonian is not conserved along phase space trajectories. Therefore, simulations may diverge over time. This thesis explores one par

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011,the number of Syrian refugees reached approximately 3 million; nearly half of them are children. Although primary education has always been available, education services for Syrian refugees were subject to frequent changes particularly between 2011-2014. The biggest and most significant step was taken in the 2016/2017 school year as a result of long-

This is a qualitative study and the aim and purpose of this thesis is to problematise authorities and fashion companies’ objectives and strategies for ecological sustainable fashion. The discussion is based on two questions: Which strategies and objectives do fashion companies and public authorities use for ecological sustainable fashion? Are there any divergence between fashion companies and publ

The phenomenon “see now, buy now” results from the impact of the digitalization on the fashion system. By using “see now, buy now”, fashion houses make their collections available to consumers immediately after a fashion show. In comparison, consumers have to wait for six months until the collections are made available under the traditional fashion system. “See now, buy now” was used for the first

This study tracks the use of the term “ensamkommande” (unaccompanied minors) in five major Swedish newspapers news/reportive articles over the months July 2014 to June 2016, using quantitative content analysis in order to detect shifts in the media frame preferences. The results are set in a context where examples of the recurring article frames are studied, using media framing theory, studying di

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a form of contract farming are increasing in number across Sub-Saharan Africa; providing a potential solution to the threat of food insecurity and stimulant of economic growth. Yet, the perceived extent to which the operations of contract-farming PPPs include original smallholders – inclusivity - is often questioned. There is currently little evidence of the e

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether abnormal returns can be observed in stock prices after the expiration of lock-up periods related to an IPO. In addition, the purpose is to analyse if private equity/venture capital (PEVC) ownership, the use of staggered lock-ups and the length of lock-up periods affect this return. Methodology: This event study examines how the market re

Barcoding is a coarse-grained optical DNA sequencing method, where DNA molecules are stained with fluorescent dyes to create sequence-dependent patterns similar to barcodes. For DNA adsorbed onto a glass surface, we need to be able to trace out these molecules for barcode extraction. We show that B-splines can be used to approximate the shape of adsorbed DNA molecules with curvature and present a

Since the installment of direct elections to the European Parliament, turnout has been falling. The implications of low, and ever falling, turnout are many. By holding second-order elections in the form of local elections on the same day as the election for the European Parliament, which also is a second-order election, turnout increases. This thesis estimates that turnout would increase by approx

Semiconductor Nanowires are promising building blocks for advanced optoelectronic devices since their small diameter give rise to quantization effects. The small diameter also makes them susceptible to non-radiative recombination due to surface states. A consequence of non-radiative surface recombination is a reduction of a total recombination lifetime. This is in turn limits an internal quantum e

This paper analyses the impact of inflation targeting as a monetary policy framework on inflation volatility and inflation rates in Uganda, with a comparison with South Africa and Ghana (full-fledged inflation targeting economies) and Kenya that opted for a forward looking monetary framework. The results show that inflation targeting in Uganda has been efficient in reducing inflation volatility an

The aim of this study is to investigate (1) whether the use of influencers in advertisements has a negative effect on brand recall in general and (2) which conditions enhance or weaken such a negative effect. A combination of experimental and case based research was applied to establish control (unknown model) and experimental groups (influencer) for different cases in order to test for brand reca

Ett byggprojekt beskrivs ibland som ett skapande kaos vilket syftar på det faktum att ett byggprojekt är i ständig rörelse. Människorna som är inblandade i ett byggprojekt är ofta där under olika villkor, olika tidsperioder och med olika syften. Det avgörande för att byggprojektet ska fortskrida på ett effektivt sätt med god motivation hos de anställda är att det finns en tydlig ledare på plats. LA construction project is sometimes described as a creative chaos, which refers to the fact that a construction project is in constant motion. The people involved in a construction project are often there under different conditions, different periods of time and with different purposes. The decisive factor for the construction project to proceed efficiently with good motivation for employees is th

Kan en byggnad utformas så att störande vibrationer från trafik minimeras? För att undersöka detta utfördes numeriska experiment där förändringen hos de störande vibrationerna undersöktes då en byggnadsstommes material och utformning ändrades. Dessa experiment kräver ofta stor datorkapacitet. Därför utvecklades en metodik som minskade datormodellerna och på så sätt kunde experimenten utföras med mUrban population growth leads to denser cities where buildings are being constructed closer to sources of vibration like motorways, railways and tramways. The risk of disturbing vibrations is thereby increasing which could affect residents and sensitive equipment, for instance equipment used in hospitals. In the Master’s thesis, the effect of structural design on traffic-induced building vibrations ha
