While Sweden is positioned as one of the most gender equal countries in the world, survey-reported rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) are here among the highest in the EU. This apparently contradictory co-existence of high levels of gender equality and of IPVAW rates in Sweden and other Nordic countries, which has been termed the Nordic Paradox, has hitherto not been adequate
I och med en ökad konkurrens på marknaden blir det viktigare för var dag att hitta nya och innovativa sätt att urskilja sig på. Smurfit Kappa Sweden AB, en ledande tillverkare av produkter av wellpapp, papper och förpackningar letar alltid efter nya sätt att tillfredsställa nya kundbehov, ett av dem var att presentera kylvaror på liknande sätt som icke kylda varor. Syftet med examensarbetet var däIn today’s competitive food marketing, new innovative ways of standing out in a crowd grows more important by every day. Smurfit Kappa Sweden AB, a leading manufacturer of cardboard, paper and packaging products desired to meet customer demands, displaying refrigerated products in the same manner as non-refrigerated products. The objective of the thesis work was to examine and develop a new kind o
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co
As the ‘era of borders’ can define the structure of the present European Union and its nation-state members, the rapid increase in international migration and the high amount of refugees can reveal how today’s EU politics has come to focus on the importance of maintaining the present-day European Union and its unifying identity. In consequence to the on-going politics, it is required to lower the
Efter en arbetsdag, arbetsvecka, några tuffa månader eller bara efter några ansträngande timmar kan man känna sig i behov av en paus. Orsaken kan vara stress eller mental utmattning, något som har blivit allt mer aktuella frågor i samhället idag. Vi lever i en tillvaro där allting ska gå allt snabbare, där prestationerna och effektiviteten ökar och ’multitasking’ är ett vanligt begrepp. Sömnen eAfter a couple of demanding days, weeks, or just after a few hours one can feel the need for a break. Stress or mental fatigue may be the underlying cause. Issues related to mental health are increasing in today’s society, a society where high performance, efficiency, multitasking and to-do-lists are common phrases. Sleep offers us some recovery, but neither sleep nor the rarely occurring vacati
The product price given when producing offshore is not the entire truth and more companies decide to move their offshore production nearshore (Stentoft et. al, 2016). To measure the actual cost of producing many more parameters than visible costs needs to be taken account for. There are advantages as well as risks with outsourcing and costs can increase with distance such as quality issues, freigh
The project began with the thought of how humans will be able to adapt to impending climate change. I sought to create a tool that encourages self-reliance, because this will be extremely beneficial in times of crisis. Sea level rise is particularly disastrous result of global warming, and has the potential to displace millions of people from their homes. How will we be able to cover our most bas
Den 1 juli 2021 blev det straffbart att låta barn bevittna brott mellan närstående. Brottet fick rubriceringen ”barnfridsbrott” och återfinns i 4 kap. 3 § BrB. Kriminaliseringen av att låta barn bevittna brott mellan närstående bemöttes av positiv respons från de flesta remissinstanserna. Trots att barnfridslagen välkomnades med öppna armar fanns en viss oro för hur lagens utformning skulle fungerOn the first of July, 2021, it became a crime in Sweden to allow children to witness crimes between relatives. The crime is called ”barnfridsbrott” and exists in Chapter 4, Section 3 in the Swedish Criminal Code. The criminalization of allowing children to witness crimes between relatives was met with a positive response from most of the consultation bodies. Although it was welcomed with open arms
Gender roles and constructions of ideals have long imposed unrealistic expectations on people to behave in certain ways and even be certain types of people. Women, more so, than others. Ideals of womanhood, what it means to be a woman, a good woman, a new woman, have required women to perform who they are at all times. The imaginary of the “New Woman” is only of these ideals that has been around g
Personal computers (PC) have become an indispensable product in modern life. Along with the growing volume of computers, the environmental burden and impact at the end-of-life phase known as e-waste become significant. Considering the material-intensive nature of the production of computers, and the environmental burdens caused by landfills, incinerations and improper recycling activities, persona
Population decline in rural areas is observed in almost every European country. In Croatia, there are no meaningful strategies to mitigate the consequences of depopulation. As a result, many rural communities have already disappeared, while more are becoming unsustainable. Krapina-Zagorje is a region severely impacted by the shrinking and aging of its population. This thesis approaches depopulatio
Food production is a critical component of global livelihoods and economic revenue. However, storing harvested food presents challenges in minimizing post-harvest losses. Among various methods, food drying has emerged as a popular technique for preserving food during off-seasons. The Solar Food project aims to design an affordable solar-powered food dryer that enhances the drying process and main

At this point, railway switching systems exchange takes about 15 hours to perform. It means that long time is needed if performing multiple exchanges. It even means that traffic on tracks has to be disallowed for a long amount of time. It costs maintenance companies like Infranord a lot of money to keep tracks free from other vehicles during the work. The company needs to purchase special permissi
The temperature on a bridge is a complex phenomena caused by several sources and it is quite difficult to forecast. Its effects cannot be ignored and during the last decades various studies have been made in this field. In order to reduce the complexity of these investigations, some simplifications, which do not entail large risks, are admitted making the problem easier to analyse. The main ob
Benefiting from their ordered orientation and superior stability compared to traditional conjugated materials, hydrogen bonding (HB)-induced H-aggregates in organic small molecule hole-transport materials (HTMs) hold a big potential for high-performance inverted perovskite solar cells (IPSCs). However, H-aggregates can also lead to excessive face-aggregation by forming the gaps between aggregates,
Focussing on the public school in early modern Sweden, this articleinvestigates the role of the Aesopic fable in elementary education in Greek. Asa background, the solid position of fable as genre in the teaching of Latin inmedieval Europe is sketched. When humanism launched Greek as schoolsubject, fable was adopted as reading material in the teaching of the newlanguage, partly for the same reason
Improving the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) measurement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is an important goal.1 Current US and European recommendations suggest using race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) equations (2021 age and sex [AS] or 2009 age, sex, and race–non-Black [ASR-NB]) in adults, without regard to cause or treatm
