Focusing on emotions, the study explores how emotions related to this situation were articulated and ex

Uppsatsens syfte är att förklara varför frågan om hormonella preventivmedel på senare tid har blivit alltmer kontroversiell. Detta uppnås genom att analysera oron för biverkningar av hormonella preventivmedel genom innehållsanalys av videoklipp och podcasts av influencers på plattformen Youtube. Studien tar hänsyn till huvudsakligen två perspektiv som förklarar det hormonfria preventivmedelsideale

Bakgrund: Varje dag förmedlar aktieanalytiker världen över analyser och rekommendationer. Eftersom analytikerna spenderar sina dagar med att tolka all tillgänglig information på marknaden är det rimligt att anta att dessa personer är de bästa på att värdera bolag. Därmed kan det tänkas vara en bra strategi för den småsparare som inte själv har kunskap, lust eller tid att basera en strategi på deraBackground: Every day, stock analysts convey analyses and recommendations. Since analysts spend their days interpreting all available information on the market, it is reasonable to assume that these people are the best at evaluating corporations. Therefore, for the individual investor who lacks the knowledge; interest or time, basing a strategy on their recommendations might seem like a good appro

The present study (n = 121) was investigating the mediating effects of frustrated basic psychological needs on the relationship between passive destructive leading behaviors, burnout symptoms and the willingness to leave. The concept of the three basic psychological needs (need for autonomy, competence, and relatedness) is embedded in the Self-Determination Theory. As independent variables the con

This thesis examines the challenges faced by recent immigrants to Canada in having their educational credentials and work experience recognised within the Canadian labour market. Using Canadian census microdata from 2021, the study assesses the wage gap between immigrants and native-born Canadians, with a specific focus on the returns to educational credentials and work experience for both groups.

The purpose of this thesis was to examine climate related human mobility in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). The adverse effect of climate change in SADC is mainly linked to increasing rainfall variability and a higher frequency or intensity of floods and droughts. These effects are a major challenge for human security. Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing, unres

4-imidizloidinoner är cykliska molekyler som innehåller kväven och syre och har många olika användningsoråde. De finns i naturligt förekomande föreningar, läkemedel, organiska katalysatorer och i prodroger. Prodroger är föreningar som bryts ner till det aktiva läkemedlet när föreningen tagit sig till rätt ställe i kroppen. Detta är fördelaktigt att använda när det aktiva läkemedlet är skadligt förA method for efficient synthesis of 4-imidazolidinones from dipeptide and aldehyde starting material was developed while adhering to green and sustainable methods and material. It was found that the condensation reaction could be performed in MeCN at mild conditions with a highly stable, commercially available reagent with a broad applicability and low toxicity. The reaction had a wide scope and c

This thesis investigates the potential of hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technology as a sustainable alternative for regional rail transport within the framework of the EU-Rail Flagship Project 6. The thesis focuses on developing a hybrid powertrain model that incorporates both HFC and battery technologies, implementing a rule-based energy management strategy to assess fuel consumption and environmental

This study explored the diverse experiences of five transgender individuals during medical gender-affirmation, and captured their active and dynamic strategies for the avoidance of discrimination. The Coordination between Expression and Intelligibility Demands model was developed through informed grounded theory analysis of the data generated in semi-structured interviews. The model reflects the e

The purpose of this research is to examine the integration of Syrian refugees in Egypt, focusing on their individualized experiences in navigating opportunities and building their lives. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews with Syrian refugees residing in Cairo, this study examines their everyday lives, uncovering the multifaceted challenges they encounter and the various tactics they empl

Monte Carlo simulation is a numerical method that can simulate complex physical systems and is widely used in the field of medical optics. For example, the Monte Carlo method was used to evaluate the effectiveness of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the detection of intracranial hematoma (ICH). However, due to the relatively complex brain structure, the current simulation model is relatively s

This thesis examines the spatial relationships between tenure type composition and the crime rates of property and violent crime, using data at the census block level for Chicago, Illinois. A multi-scalar k-nearest neighbor analysis is employed to model patterns of tenure type composition at four different scales of aggregation, by constructing individualized neighborhoods for each census block.

I det här kandidatarbetet undersöks kulturer för att ta reda på vad som influerar deras möbler. Två kulturer studeras i det här projektet: kulturen i Kina under Mingdynastin såväl som den nutida kulturen i Sverige. Detta för att finna deras likheter och skillnader. Det ska sedan appliceras på en ny serie möbler. Projektet är av en mer utforskande karaktär än ett klassisk designprojekt, dock följerThis bachelor’s project investigates what influences furniture within different cultures. Two cultures are studied, the culture in China during the Ming Dynasty and the culture in contemporary Sweden. This is to understand their commonalities and in which ways they differ. This is then to be applied to a series of furniture. The project has a more explorative nature, however, it still follows a tr

With his notion of original affirmation, Paul Ricoeur wishes to reinstate the primacy of being over nothingness, joy over anguish, and affirmation over negation. Having adopted the term from Jean Nabert, he draws from the tradition of French reflective philosophy to formulate his conception of the originally affirmative nature of existence. Ricoeur argues that positive values can be found in and t

Malaria är en sjukdom som drabbar hundratals miljoner människor över hela världen och står för flera hundratusentals dödsfall varje år, till mesta delen i Afrika. Malaria orsakas av malariaparasiter av Plasmodium-släktet. För att överleva, konsumerar malariaparasiter hemoglobinet som finns i våra röda blodkroppar, och som biprodukt bildas ett toxin som parasiterna polymeriserar för att oskadliggörMalaria is a life-threatening infectious disease that affects millions of lives annually. Malaria parasites can develop resistance against existing drugs, which forces the concept of continuous development of new drugs that can overcome the resistance. Organometallic complexes have met great success as antitumor drugs, and the ongoing interest of organometallic drugs sets the light for more accomp

Academic interest in economic inequalities has investigated the patterns of inequalities perpetuated by colonial rules across Africa over the past two decades. The findings highlight that, at a country level, there are biased investment policies favoring European settlers and encouraging the extraction of resources. Considering the importance of regional inequalities in Tunisia in the modern er

Bilingualism has become increasingly prevalent globally, with about half of the world's population being bilingual by 2012. This growing trend has prompted cognitive research to explore the effects of bilingualism on executive functions. The Bilingual Advantage (BA) theory posits that bilingual individuals experience enhanced cognitive abilities due to their practice in managing multiple langu

In this thesis, we study modeling approaches for the Cahn-Hilliard equations utilizing the Eyre approximation for first and second order in time accuracy. We first considered the Cahn-Hilliard equations and then expand our study by adding the Navier-Stokes coupling. We begin with a study concerning preconditioners, grid size options, mobility functions, energy density discretization, and time-step

Morgondagens energisystem står inför stora utmaningar och snabba förändringar både i Sverige och i världen. För att nå ambitiösa klimatmål ses elektrifiering som en viktig lösning på problemen, där Svenska Kraftnät räknar med en nära fördubbling av efterfrågan på el till 2045. Denna ökning, till stor del driven av förnybara energikällor som är svårare att planera och pronosticera, innebär betydandThe energy system of tomorrow faces major challenges and rapid changes both in Sweden and worldwide. To achieve ambitious climate targets, electrification is seen as a key solution, with the Swedish TSO projecting a near doubling of electricity demand by 2045. This increase, driven largely by renewable and intermittent energy sources, poses significant challenges for grid stability. Consequently,
