Deacons within the Church of Sweden are in modern days representants from the Christian practise but also a significant partner to face existential needs within the Swedish welfare system. The aim of this thesis was therefore to analyze how deacons within The Church of Sweden view and resonate about their role in meeting possibilities and difficulties when facing existential needs in their form of
For the last couple of years, the popularity of e-bikes has grown substantially. Thanks to the electric motor people can now ride uphill and longer distances without arriving at their destination sweaty and exhausted. But even if the function of electric bikes is great I saw problems in the design of the bikes that are currently on the market. Problems that made them very unattractive for
Increase of urbanization and climate change are one of the factors that have been highlighted to influence the change of urban runoff hydrograph. This is resulting in an increase in peak flow within an urban watershed. Downstream flooding is the main problem that arises. To solve this, the sustainable urban drainage system techniques are adopted for reducing peak flow and increase baseflow. This t
Värdeerbjudande ingår som begrepp i modern teori för utveckling av affärsmodeller och bör innehålla tydliga och mätbara fördelar som en kund erhåller genom att köpa en viss produkt eller tjänst. Även befintliga företag kan ha nytta av att kontinuerligt stämma av värdeerbjudandet vilket utgör bakgrunden till detta projekt då det saknas generella processer för att utvärdera värdeerbjudandet i ett vä
Klimatet genomgår för närvarande förändringar. Kunskap om klimatpåverkan rörande grundvattenbildning är bristande, men med hjälp av klimatsimuleringar och vattenbalansberäkningar kan prognoser göras för att få insikt om vad som kommer att ske. Klimatförändringar inom Östergötlands län som antas ske är en för-längd växtperiod, ökad medeltemperatur samt förändrade nederbördsmönster, vilket kan leda
The cost of healthcare in Sweden has risen steadily since the beginning of the 21st century and one of the major contributors to the increase are chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are complex and long-lasting disorders which cause disability and death worldwide. To counter the increasing trend, studies show that advancements in digitizing parts of the healthcare could make the treatment of patien
The purpose of this master thesis is to evaluate technologies that could measure parameters of interest to Dover Fueling Solutions, a fuel pump company. A list of interesting measuring technologies has been compiled and compared. Spectrometry was chosen as extra interesting, as it had the potential to differentiate fuels by different octane ratings, but also measure concentrations of different con
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka bilden av Kina som svenska missionärer från Helgelseförbundet förmedlar hem till läsarna i Sverige år 1898 genom förbundets egna tidskrift Trons Segrar. Fokuset för uppsatsen kommer att vara specifikt synen på kinesiska trosföreställningar, andlighet och traditioner, men även återkommande teman och sådant som kan ses som tecken på den känsliga politiska at

This thesis examines and compares spontaneous metaphor usage in conversations within and between generations. It investigates to what extent they can be seen as motivated by bodily, conventional and situated factors with the help of the Motivation and Sedimentation Model (MSM), which operates with these three levels of meaning. The model combines and integrates earlier accounts of metaphor motivat
After more than a decade since the outbreak of the financial crisis, overall economic growth in the Eurozone is still disappointing. An increasing group of economists attributes the inadequate economic performance to large and deeply engrained differences between the productive structures of the Northern and Southern Eurozone. To find out whether there is reason to believe this, we apply the Econo
Digital platforms is an innovation made possible by the adoption of computers and internet. Companies like Google and Facebook grew in relatively short time to the most valuable or-ganisations on the stock market. The success of these companies is partially possible by their characteristics of being a digital platforms. One of the success factors is the use open APIs, which makes that other partie
The broader goal of this project was to investigate what kind of effects the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the marine environment might have on the microbial world. Bacteria were isolated from biofilms fouling PHA pellets placed in the sediment-water interface; the goal was to isolate PHA degraders that were also sulphate reducers. Eleven strains were isolated and for three of the
The objective of this thesis was to contribute to the limited research that has been carried out concerning maxillary sinusitis in medieval Scania. The aspiration was to do an inclusive comparative osteological analysis of three skeletal materials and investigate whether there is a difference in prevalence among rural and urban individuals as well as between sex, age and if an aeitology was visibl
Genom att utföra en bibliografisk formanalys av de elva svenska utgåvorna av Oliver Goldsmiths roman The Vicar of Wakefield, publicerade mellan 1782 och 1970, har jag undersökt det grafiska uttrycket och jämfört det med den svenska typografins utveckling under samma tid. Centralt i uppsatsen är att bokens materialitet spelar roll för hur texten uppfattas, att formen i sig är medskapande i verkets
It is known that consumption of high fat diet may lead to gut dysbiosis and increase intestinal permeability by altering gut microbiota composition. However, metabolites from dietary fiber fermentation, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) may prevent these changes. SCFAs are of great importance in maintaining colonic integrity, and exerting anti-inflammatory function as signaling molecules. The presen
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla en parametrisk finita elementmodell som ska kunna analysera vibrationsrisken i en godtycklig ståltrappa. Modellen ska kunna användas tidigt i projekteringsskedet för att identifiera trappor som har en utformning som kan ge problem med höga vibrationsnivåer. En parameterstudie kommer att genomföras för att ta reda på vad som påverkar trappans dynamiska

Pan-Africanism is a diverse philosophy and political ideology that has conflicting views about how unity among Africans can be achieved economically and within a single political system. Some versions of Pan-Africanism support market capitalism and other theorists take the position that the collective ownership of capital and resources is essential for creating a national unity. The Agenda 2063 is
The aim of this study was to examine former foster childrens’ personal portraits about their upbringing in foster care. Focus have been on relational and emotional aspects of the foster care placement and how the examined people of this study cope with their surroundings. I have used a qualitative content analysis on four different autobiographies in order to answer the questions of this study. T
