This thesis investigates the social dynamics of the Chin refugee group which currently faces great challenges in Malaysia, the host country. Modes of organisation and coping mechanisms are examined in relation to the specific legal and socio-political context. The theoretical concept of “diaspora” is used to make sense of processes of identity (re)construction and collective action. In addition, f

Motivation och meningsfullhet är det som driver oss framåt. Genom att ställa klassiska teorier mot resultat som samlats in via enkätintervjuer var syftet med denna studie att undersöka hur ett 20 tal personer som är aktiva i arbetslivet känner en meningsfullhet och vilka faktorer som gör att de upplever motivation i sitt arbete. För datainsamling av det empiriska materialet genomfördes enkätinterv

The aim of this study is to see how big the estimated number of unrecorded cases in Sweden are when it comes to reporting sexual molestation and to see if the court sees the victim as an ideal victim. If so, it is in our interest to investigate if the ideal victim can be associated with the number of unrecorded cases. The cases from the court in Malmö has been coded, placed into charts and analyse

The purpose of this study is to explore identity dynamics in mergers and acquisitions. As Clark, Gioia, Ketchen and Thomas (2010) point out, traditional economic perspectives are often not sufficient in explaining merger outcomes. Extant research on identity largely take a functionalist approach and frequently use quantitative methods, not taking the individual seriously. In contrast, we want to b

Sweden is a geographically large country, with several regions counted as rural areas. Hospitals and emergency care units can be up to one hour away, making emergency healthcare less available in time sensitive situations to some groups of people. To help decrease the waiting time, local people of certain professions, volunteers and similar, have created groups to help with the initial care. In th

Denna studie har som syfte att bidra till en ökad förståelse för hur interaktionen mellan frontpersonal och kund kommer till uttryck i servicemötet på caféer, genom att undersöka personalens verbala och ickeverbala agerande gentemot kunden. Detta görs genom dolda observationer på ett kedjedrivet- och lokalt café där två frågeställningar styr studiens utformning. Den första frågan är mer djupgående

Barnfria, alltså de som frivilligt väljer att inte skaffa egna barn, är en grupp som avviker från sociala normer. Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka stereotypinnehåll för barnfria i Sverige och se hur den barnfrias kön påverkar stereotypen. Tidigare internationell forskning har visat att barnfria uppfattas som mindre varma än föräldrar. Både deltagarnas och de barnfrias kön har också visTo be childfree, i.e., to voluntarily not have children, deviates from the social norm. The aim of this study was to investigate the stereotype content for childfree in Sweden, and how their gender, and factors of the participants, affects the stereotype. Previous research has shown that childfree are perceived as less warm than parents. In stereotype research, women are generally perceived as mor

Purpose – The road freight industry is becoming more and more complex. An increasing number of actors participating in the transport process has been highlighted. Simultaneously, transport constellations become more fragmented. With transport as feature of the product-offer, sending companies face new challenges. While transport has as part of the product offer influence on the customer satisfacti

Maskininlärning har de senaste åren bidragit till starten på ett omfattande paradigmskifte mot ett smartare och mer uppkopplat samhälle. Det här examensarbetet bidrar till den utvecklingen genom att öka förståelsen kring hur bilder på ansikten kan representeras så att ansiktsdragen hos personen blir naturligt beskrivna i representationen. Resultatet är ett system som kan generera verklighetstrognaThis thesis presents a system, which builds on the Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) framework, with the focus of learning interpretable representations of data. The system is able to learn representations of data that are ordered in regards to the saliency of the attributes, in a completely unsupervised manner. The training strategy expands the latent space dimension while appropriately adding

This thesis investigates the overall market reaction in connection to the stress test and transparency exercise conducted by the European Banking Authority in 2018. For this we apply an event study that adjusts for event clustering, something that is widely neglected in previous literature. This approach has a big impact on decreasing the statistical significance of the results. The results show a

Our interest to conduct this study emerged from the intense debate, which took place prior to the law reform regarding sexual crime. The aim is to review selected parts of the new legislation from a functionalistic perspective to tell if the legal norm fulfills its purpose. This was possible with the help from a selected group of expert witnesses and their comprehension of the modifications that s

Syftet med den här kvantitativa studien är att undersöka om Mozart-effekten har någon inverkan på matematisk problemlösningsförmåga, self-efficacy och arousal och om dessa tre variabler kan manipuleras med Mozarts sonata för två pianon. Mozarts sonata K448 är den oberoende variabeln. Matematiska resultat, vakenhetsgrad och Self efficacy undersöktes som beroende variabler. Studiens population var sThe aim of this quantitative research study was to investigate if the Mozarteffect had any impact on mathematical problem-solving ability, self-efficacy and arousal, and if these three variables can be manipulated with Mozarts sonata for 2 pianos. Mozart’s sonata K448 is the independent variable. Mathematical results, arousal and self-efficacy were investigated as dependent variables. The populati

The study aimed to investigate the relationship between the leadership style of future leaders, their personality, as well as their perceived stress level. The Full Range Leadership model with a focus on the transformational leadership dimension, as well as the Five-Factor personality model were used as a theoretical basis. The study was conducted with eighty- seven participants enrolled in a Mast

Trots att det finns fördelar med fysisk aktivitet har studier visat att deltagande inom idrott minskar med åldern (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). Syftet med denna studie var därför att undersöka hur motivationsklimat på träningen för vuxna idrottare upplevs och deras resonemang kring hur ett motivationsklimat fördelaktigt ska se ut. Studien konstruerades efter ”Achievement Goal TheoDespite benefits of physical activity, studies have shown that participation in sport decreases with age (Biddle, 2008; Oja et al, 2015; Ståhle, 2008). The goal of the study was to examine how the motivational climate during training for adult athletes is experienced and their reasoning around how a motivational climate should look like. The study was based upon Achievement Goal Theory through Nic

Digitaliseringen har medfört en förändring av näringslivet och hur information sprids. Detta har medfört förändringar i informationssystemsmiljön som anställda arbetar i. Detta har i sint tur gjort information mer tillgänglig samt ökat mängden. Resultatet av detta har blivit att anställda har mer information som måste bearbetas, men förutsättningarna för det är densamma som tidigare. Mobila enhete

The neutrino oscillation experiment ESSnuSB aims to measure the CP violation phase in the lepton sector with an intense neutrino beam produced at ESS. If the CP violation is discovered, then the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe can be possibly explained. In order to do this, a design study of a water Cherenkov near detector was carried out, and its geometrical parameters such as the tan

Stranderosion är en process som präglar många av världens kuststräckor och kommer av att sediment som ligger på land sköljs ut i havet eller till andra områden. Idag bestäms erosionsbenägenheten genom att se på olika dynamiska och morfologiska egenskaper hos stranden och utifrån dessa sätta ett värde för erosionsbenägenhet. Dokumentation om hur man genom att se på morfologi och landformer kan avgöCoastal erosion is a process that characterises many of the world´s coastal areas and is a result of sedimentary fluctuations and the removal of sediments from beaches to other areas and out to sea. Today, the propensity for erosion is determined by looking at different dynamical and morphological properties of the beach and based on these, a value for coastal erosion propensity is set.

Oat production produces an abundant side stream product called oat hulls, formally regarded as a waste product. These oat hulls are nutritionally packed, containing insoluble dietary fibres. The solubilization and subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis of insoluble fibres, i.e. xylan, can potentially be developed into prebiotic oligosaccharides. However, insoluble fibres are tightly bound, making it diff

Det här arbetet undersöker hur SO-lärare upplever digitalisering av sin undervisning. Eftersom digitalisering som megatrend har förändrat hela samhället i sin kärna, precis som undervisningen, så ger den här studien läsaren en inblick i hur lärare upplever digitaliseringen. Studien tittar också på hur digitaliseringsprocessen påverkar eleverna. För att sätta upplevelserna i en kontext så analyseraThis study aims to look at how Social science teachers in Swedish upper secondary schools experience the digitalization of their teaching. As digitalization as a megatrend has changed society at its core, as well as it has teaching, this study wants to give the readers some insight into how it is experienced by the teachers themselves, as well as taking a look at how digitalization might affect st
