Authenticity is known as an essential driving factor for tourists' experiences. Researchers have provided a deep theoretical understanding of authenticity, distinguishing four established approaches: objective authenticity, constructed authenticity, postmodernism view on authenticity and existential authenticity. More recent research initiated examinations on the perceptions of authenticity. T
Bekämpningsmedel i trädgårdar: negativa effekter för exponerade organismer Bekämpningsmedel för trädgårdar är idag ett vanligt verktyg för att få bort oönskad växtlighet och skadedjur. Vad många av oss kanske inte tänker på när vi sprayar med våra medel är att de kan nå andra organismer än den avsedda målorganismen och möjligen orsaka skada. Trots att de är få, finns det studier som visar att fjSeveral studies show that the use of pesticides within agricultural management have led to increased losses of biodiversity. However, information on the effects of garden pesticides on non-target organisms and the type of products used in private gardens are lacking. With a focus on Lund municipality, an initial inventory of available plant protection products in stores was performed. The study sh
The current juvenile delinquency has been a debated subject for a long time, for instance among politicians, scientists, media and the police. Some think it has increased dramatically during the last years, while some claim the opposite. During the fall of 2017 the government commissioned an investigation regarding a proposal of removing the juvenile discount for young offenders. The treatment ide
ASSA Abloy Entrance Systems design and manufacture automatic sliding-, swingand revolving doors. A regular revolving door is often equipped with night closing doors on the outside, which are used to close the entrance when, for example, the store or workplace is closed for the evening. This prevents unwanted guests or litter to enter the space between the revolving door blades. This Master’s thesi
Despite many years of progress towards closing the gender pay gap and achieving racial equality, women from ethnic minority groups in the United Kingdom earn less compared to their male counterparts and to the population average. The extent of channelling into certain areas of occupation and employment are a prominent feature of the employment of minority groups in the UK and is a key mechanism in
The modern shower was invented in the middle of the 19th century and is by far the most popular personal cleaning method in the west. One of the shortcomings of the conventional shower is that a majority of the water consumed is not dirty but goes out the drain all the same. Orbital systems AB has developed a recirculating shower as a modern and environmentally friendly alternative to the conventi
Lokala företag — en målgrupp för en mer hållbar konsumtion? Det ter sig något självklart att uppmaningen 'Think global, act local' är något Sveriges kommuner kan omfamna. Sverige har ett starkt kommunalt självstyre och stora möjligheter att göra skillnad. Frågan är hur detta kan yttra sig och om det lokala näringslivet kan vara en målgrupp för kommunerna i arbetet? Den här studien åskådliBackground: Today, unsustainable consumption patterns contributes to the increase of climate change and environmental degradation. Objectives: This study intends to increase the understanding of which opportunities local governments, in this study Swedish municipalities, possess to influence and cooperate with local businesses to promote development towards a more sustainable consumption. In the p
The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the driving forces of SID in corporate contexts. The central purpose is to develop an extended framework based on the framework by Carr, Kolehmainen & Mitchell (2010) that will portray a better understanding of biases and heuristics and their influences on SID. The secondary aim of this thesis is to update the financial and strategic aspects of t
Despite that transports contribute to around a quarter of all global energy-related CO2 emissions, the question of how the sector’s emissions are best reduced remains unclear. To fill this gap, this thesis investigates what both academia and the Swedish Climate Policy Council recommend to be the best ways of reducing transport emissions. These findings are then compared with the mobility strategie
The aim of this study was to examine how single parents of children with autism describe their everyday life, their experience of stress, and how it affects them. The aim was also to gain more knowledge of how single parents experience and describe the support they have received and to highlight any potential areas in which this support might be improved. The chosen method was qualitative semi-str
Hud, hår och naglar är utåt sätt olika, men på en mikroskopisk nivå är likheterna stora. Det översta lagret av hud, som kallas stratum corneum, hår och naglar består av döda celler till mestadels fyllda av proteinet keratin. Keratinet i dessa celler bildar cylindriska strukturer; keratinfilament, som består av flera keratinkedjor. Denna uppbyggnad ger materialen både styrka och flexibilitet. LipidThe keratin structure and mobility of protein and lipid components in keratinous materials, and the changes in these properties upon hydration and addition of osmolytes affects the mechanical properties and permeation of skin, hair and nails. In this thesis, the effect of hydration and the addition of solvents and an osmolyte on the structure of keratin filaments and on the mobility of protein an

Uppsatsen beskriver synen på sexköpare utifrån ett statligt perspektiv. Också utreder uppsatsen synen på sexköpare hos unga svenskar utifrån två gruppintervjuer. Uppsatsmaterialet består dels av statliga dokument, utredningar och utvärderingar och dels av två könsindelade gruppintervjuer. Att gruppintervjuerna är könsindelade beror på att syftet var att identifiera möjliga likheter och/eller skill
När ett barn misstänks vara utsatt för brott startas utredning hos både socialtjänsten och polisen. Barnahus är en organisation som under gemensamt tak samverkar kring barn som utsatts för allvarliga brott. I riktlinjerna till Barnahus framgår att barn har rätt till deltagande och information. Denna studie undersöker hur barn får information om förundersökningens fortlöpande. Barn har, oavsett om
Varannan tugga i Sverige är importerad från alla världens hörn och det enda vi är helt självförsörjande på är spannmål, socker och morötter. I en krissituation där vi inte längre har tillgång till importerade livsmedel kanske vi får leva på enbart morotskaka om vi inte ökar vår livsmedelsproduktion. Klimatförändringen kommer att påverka hela världen och ändra förutsättningar som vi idag mer eller Only 50 percent of Swedish food supply comes from domestic production, which creates a high dependency on an international trade to import foods. This leads to a high vulnerability within the food system. In order to secure food supply in times of crisis Sweden must increase its food production. According to climate research, future climate will be characterized by a higher rate of extreme weather
Antikroppar har ett brett användningsområde med stor potential men det är svårt att skapa stabila lösningar. Den strukturella stabiliteten är en viktig faktor när man väljer läkemedelskandidater, och i de tidiga utvecklingsstadierna görs prediktiva undersökningar för att ta reda på varje kandidats stabilitet och utvecklings-potential. Därmed är det av största intresse att utvärdera hur antikropparA great challenge during early development of medicinal antibodies is to determine the stability of the candidates. This is required to be able to select the candidates with the greatest developability. The stability of the candidates can be estimated using different orthogonal techniques and the aim of this investigation was thus to use orthogonal techniques for the investigation of conformationa
Rockfalls occur around Sweden every year and the country lacks a national risk evaluation and an adequate regulatory framework for construction related to this natural hazard. The aim of this study is to address this problem by mapping areas under possible threat of rockfalls, considering two fundamental aspects: i) identification of the source areas and ii) estimation of the runout zones. The stu
Ett problem som uppstår med ökningen av förnybara energikällor är att det oregelbundna beteendet, hos framförallt sol och vindkraft, gör det svårt att styra produktionen utifrån efterfrågan på energi. En potentiell lösning på detta problem är att lagra energin i flytande luft. För att undersöka hur denna metod lämpar sig för energilagring har en modell av ett fristående energilagringssystem med flThe aim of this project was to create a model of the stand-alone LAES for use in future work at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT).
