This thesis deals with the question of how men perceive the usage of gender stereotypes in print advertisements. After reviewing existing literature in the field of gender stereotypes and their utilization in advertisements, a research gap has been identified in two areas: male gender stereotypes and perception of advertisements. Hence, this thesis combines these two aspects in an attempt to contr
Från analogt till digitalt - snabba och strömsnåla omvandlare Dagens digitala samhälle ställer höga krav på prestanda och effektivitet. I samarbete med Ericsson i Lund har en krets för signalomvandling utvecklats. Genom smart design uppnås hög hastighet och låg strömförbrukning som ligger i forskningens framkant. Från analogt till digitalt Ett viktigt byggblock för telekommunikation och videoapAnalog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with high conversion frequency, often based on pipelined architectures, are used for measuring instruments, wireless communication and video applications. Successive approximation register (SAR) converters offer a compact and power efficient alternative but the conversion speed is typically designed for lower frequencies. In this thesis a low-power 12-bit 200 MS
Machine control with GPS allows machinists to operate using a digital model as reference instead of the traditionally used methods. This leads to other duties and a different flow at the worksite. The purpose of this study is to examine how various professions have changed with the development of machine controlled equipment and also how the work methods can be optimized. A series of interviews ha
The language learning process by third age learners has recently become a field of interest for linguistic research. However, it has been studied mostly regarding psychological and cognitive considerations (stress, motivation, attention, memory, etc.), rather than according to language internal factors. The present study aims to provide a contribution by investigating the mastery of Italian gramma
Inget annat industrialiserat och demokratiskt land har så låg brottsfrekvens som Japan. Det finns heller knappt något annat land som har så hög andel fällande domar. Hur är det egentligen möjligt? Följande text behandlar förundersökningen, den processuella fasen och verkställandet vid ett mordfall i Japan och jämför det med det motsvarande svenska förfarandet. Avhandlingen (kap 3-4) berör till en
Mega-mining extractivism is recent in Argentina. The expansion of the sector strengthened the opposition of towns which formed self-summoned neighbors’ assemblies. Women are outstanding members of these assemblies. The anti-colonialist and anti-capitalist ecofeminism of Mies and Shiva is combined with the literature on environmental justice for a feminist political ecology study of the anti-mining
Based on the context of a developing country, this research engages key identified political-economy aspects that influence the operations and performance of the electricity supply industry in Tanzania. Departing from this political-economy perspective, this paper explores dencentralized approaches to rural electrification through agro-industry co-generation and influencing factors behind the slow
Nära infrarött ljus (NIR) kan användas för att säkerställa djurfodrens näringsinnehåll Det är viktigt att kunna garantera att djurfoder innehåller rätt mängd näringsämnen, oavsett vilken sorts fettkälla (såsom vegetabiliska oljor eller fiskolja) som används vid fodertillverkning. Detta kan göras med NIR-teknik! För att djur ska vara välmående är det viktigt att de får i sig rätt mängd näringsämnThe aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/
Helsingborgs stad anställdas syn på hållbar utveckling Helsingborg stad har satt upp nya målsättningar kring sitt hållbarhetsarbete. Men enbart hälften av de tillfrågade förstår vad begreppet hållbar utveckling betyder. Om tjänstemännen i kommunen inte förstår begreppet hur ska kommunen då kunna uppfylla de nya målsättningarna? Studien har visat att runt hälften av de medverkande har en god insiktThe municipality of Helsingborg, located in Scania implemented the Livskvalitetsprogrammet (The programme of living quality) in 2016. The goal with the programme is to unite sustainable development and quality of life. The work with the programme will continue towards 2024. I was given the assignment to research the knowledge of the programme throughout the organisation. The questionnaire is to be
Although Sweden collects and sorts a large share of plastic waste, a significant part of the separately collected plastic packaging waste is being incinerated and only 8 % of the plastic waste is being recycled into new products. As plastic is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions from waste incineration, a systematic shift is needed to decrease incineration. Currently, Chemical recycling (CR
Mitt på Gotland ligger Atlingbo, ett litet jordbrukssamhälle där landskapet definieras av åkrar, skog och hagar. På Gotland, där en majoritet av invånarna bor utanför tätorterna, finns en levande landsbygd där små företag kan blomstra. Hantverksyrken gynnas trots det isolerade läget tack vare en stor genomströmning av turister. Projektet är en keramikverkstad intill den gamla lärarbostaden i AtliAt the centre of Gotland is Atlingbo, a small agricultural community where the landscape is defined by fields, forests and pastures. On Gotland, where a majority of the residents live outside of urban areas, the rural economy thrives and small businesses can flourish. Potentially, craft professions are supported here despite the isolated location thanks to a high influx of tourists. The project
During the 21st century, right wing populist parties (RPP:s) all over Europe have started entering the political parliaments. The Sweden Democrats have, like few others, had a fast growing political success in Sweden, growing from about 7% in the 2010 election to about 20% in the 2022 election. With their success, it is inevitable that the sociocultural and sociopolitical discourse has changed. Th
Idag finns det uppsägningsregler inom arbetsrätten som möjliggör det för arbetsgivaren att särbehandla på grund av ålder vid anställningens upphörande, vilket resulterar i att arbetstagare kan komma att missgynnas på grund av ålder. Samtidigt finns det diskrimineringsregler som ska skydda mot åldersdiskriminering, bland annat inom arbetslivet. Därför undersöker denna uppsats hur uppsägningsreglernToday, there are termination rules in the labor law which enable the employer to take age into account in certain termination situations, which results in workers being disadvantaged due to age. At the same time, there are discrimination rules to protect against age discrimination in the labor market. Therefore, this essay examines how the termination rules in the Employment Protection Act relate
The literature on sustainability transitions analyzes structural shifts towards more sustainable consumption and production patterns. Recently, it has been recognized that structures transcending national boundaries can both hinder and promote sustainability transitions. In this context, multi-scalar transition trajectories have been outlined, suggesting, among other things, that sectoral transfor
Background: Children’s need for play is intertwined with health and development. For many children public playgrounds represent environments that are playful and important in developing good health. Without efforts to facilitate climate adaptation of outdoor playgrounds there may be a loss of health and well-being during childhood and their future lives. Purpose: To explore the reasoning and descr
Bakgrund: På grund av krig, förföljelser och kränkningar ökar flyktingströmmarna i världen. Antalet människor på flykt 2021 var 89,3 miljoner. Miljöförändringar som asylsökande och flyktingar upplever påverkar alla aspekter av deras dagliga liv och uppfattning om sig själva. Begränsade möjligheter till meningsfulla aktiviteter i mottagarlandet har en ytterligare negativ påverkan på hälsa och välbeBackground: Refugee flows worldwide are increasing due to war, persecutions and harassments. In 2021 the number of refugees globally reached 89,3 million. Environment changes influenced asylum seekers and refugees in all aspects of daily living and self-concepts. Limited opportunities to participate in meaningful activities in the host country had a further negative impact on health and well-being
This thesis considers an investigation into the possibilities of creating a reasonably accurate multiscale material model for paperboard, with geometry based on X-ray scans of small paperboard samples. The modeling takes place in the software Multiscale Designer by Altair Engineering Inc. A representative volume element (RVE) is used to capture the X-ray geometry and represent macroscopic mechanic
Machine learning and artificial neural networks can be used to classify or detect specific sound events in audio signals. Gunshot detection is one use case for such networks and can be used to help law enforcement by alerting officers or triggering camera recordings. However, artificial neural networks with a high performance usually require large amounts of computational power, meaning that they
