The purpose of this study is to explore how young, eco-conscious Swedish women navigate the tension between sustainability and beauty ideals regarding their consumption of cosmetic products. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with young, educated women, alongside two middle-aged women working with sustainability and organic products. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes, categories
Context. The adverse effects of interstellar extinction makes the optical range unsuitable for spectroscopic analysis of stellar populations in dust-obscured regions of the Milky Way. With new instruments available, high-quality spectroscopy in the near-infrared (near-IR or NIR) range is now feasible. However, this region of the electromagnetic spectrum is relatively unexplored for the purpose of
Denna uppsats undersöker fenomenet rättslig korsbefruktning genom att ana-lysera hur den ad hoc-inrättade Internationella krigsförbrytartribunalen för det forna Jugoslavien har implementerat internationell människorättslagstiftning i förhållande till definitionen av tortyr. Uppsatsen tillämpar en rättsdogmatisk metod med fokus på folkrättens rätt-skällelära. Två fall från ICTY har varit föremål föThis thesis examines the phenomenon of legal cross-fertilisation by analysing how the ad hoc International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia have implemented International Human Rights Law with regard to the defini-tion of torture. This thesis employs the legal dogmatic method with an emphasis on the sources of law in International Law. Two cases from the ICTY have been the subject of an
This thesis presents a way of representing electric and magnetic fields directly as linear combinations of products of components of Weyl spinors, without using a four-potential. First it is shown that when Lorentz transforming the spinors, these fields transform according to the tensor transformation of the electromagnetic fields. Then, by explicitly expressing the spinors in terms of a four-mome
Artikel 2 i Fördraget om Europeiska unionen (FEU) stadgar att Europeiska unionen (EU) bygger och grundas på värden. Eventuella åsidosättande av dessa värden diskuteras ofta i ljuset av medlemsstaters agerande, där artikel 7 FEU trots dess tillämpningsproblematik, fungerar som en sanktionsmekanism för ansvarsutkrävande av medlemsstater. Avseende institutionernas ansvar, har EU kritiserats av männisArticle 2 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) establishes the values upon which the European Union (EU) is founded. Potential breaches of the founding values are often discussed in the light of Member State action, where Article 7 TEU, although difficult to apply in practice, serves as a sanction mechanism to attain Member State accountability. Regarding institutional accountability, the EU has
Lung cancer, particularly non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Immunotherapy using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is a potent treatment for NSCLC; however, long-term response is limited in the majority of patients and there is a lack of predictive biomarkers. Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) may serve as biomarkers for predicting ICI respo
This thesis aims at investigating the effect of corruption on economic growth in Europe, as well as Western and Eastern Europe separately. In particular, I ask the following two research questions: Does corruption in Europe have a negative effect on economic growth at an aggregate level? Does this effect change when dividing my data set into two sub-samples, each consisting of countries with simil
The exact solution to a set of equations modeling the event-triggered control of a multi-agent system is derived and computed up to a specified error on the time between events. An attempt to minimize the number of events of the solution subject to bounds on overshoot and convergence time is made using a differential evolution method. Parameter points which result in a low number of events of the
In the Shadow of Monumentum... the War on Statues explores the last decade's violent protests on colonisation and institutional racism leading to the vandalisation, defacing and in some cases removal or toppling of public monuments. The study explores the chronological events surrounding 4 monuments depicting Edward Colston, Cecil Rhodes and Mary Thomas - “Queen” Mary. Including the persons de
Denna kandidatuppsats utforskar acceptansfaktorer för AI-baserade teknologier inom svensk sjukvård bland vårdpersonal. Genom en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med semistrukturerade in- tervjuer har data samlats in från sjuksköterskor och läkare i svensk sjukvård. Resultaten analy- serades tematiskt och resulterade i sex huvudteman som belyser viktiga insikter om hur vård- personal uppfattar och acceptThis bachelor thesis explores acceptance factors for AI-based technologies in Swedish healthcare among healthcare practitioners. Using a qualitative research method with semi-struc- tured interviews, data was collected from nurses and physicians in the Swedish healthcare sys- tem. Thematic analysis of the results yielded six main themes that provide valuable insights into how healthcare profession
Tetra Pak® is a world leading food packaging company with a large variety of paperboard beverage packages. In the development of paperboard packages, an essential component is utilizing simulation models long before physical prototypes are manufactured. This speeds up the development process and allows quick evaluation of new designs. For this to be an effective approach, confidence in the virtual
The increasingly volatile, uncertain, and complex business landscape in which contemporary global corporations operate presents challenges to management and specifically for leaders of dispersed virtual teams. To cope with unreliable external circumstances, modern multinationals operate under imperatives to develop new forms of transnational capabilities, by mobilizing knowledge resources across g
This thesis is focused on finding more sustainable substitutes for raw materials in a rubber product that is produced today at Trelleborg Industri AB. The rubber compound consists of a polymer blend of epichlorohydrin and nitrile-butadiene rubber, fillers, plasticizer. There are some other materials as well that are not in focus in this project. Several different raw materials are investigated and
Ferroelectric memories pose as a potential candidate as resistive memory devices that could be used for in-memory computing and artificial synapses. One promising type of ferroelectric memory device is the ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ). The basic functionality of a FTJ device is based upon the fact that ferroelectric materials display two distinct polarisation states which could be switched
Localization of multiple sound sources from a microphone array is a challenging task that has been a research topic for decades. The challenges stem from the diversity of acoustic contexts due to reverberation and disturbances. Therefore, recent approaches that impose structure on the sound sources, rather than on the noise, have shown promising results. The offline method HALO was proposed in 201
A fundamental part of modern medicine is the ability to study and analyze images, especially for diagnostic purposes. A relatively new imaging system is photoacoustics, where laser- and ultrasound technology are combined to create images in a non-invasive way. It is absorption of the laser that is responsible for the creation of the ultrasound signal. Thus, it is the optic properties of tissue tha
In the last few decades, the population in Lithuania has been gradually becoming older due to a combination of the declining fertility rate, negative net migration, and rising life expectancy. It is estimated that this process will be even more rapid in the future, as it is projected that by the year 2100 the share of elderly people over 65 will increase by 84%, whilst the working-age population (
Money is often left on the table when corporations issue new securities. Explanations for the underpricing phenomenon are often related to information asymmetry between the investor and the issuer. In this study we investigate factors affecting underpricing on corporate bonds in the Swedish market. To some extent contrary to what was expected, the results indicate that bonds are on average overpri
