Bakgrund: Amning innebär betydande hälsofördelar för båda mamma och barn och världshälsoorganisationen (WHO) rekommenderar helamning till barnet är 6 månader. Amningsfrekvensen i Sverige har sjunkit sedan 90-talet. Detta trots ett välfärdssystem med tillgång till fri sjukvård och möjlighet till betald föräldraledighet i 480 dagar. Många kvinnor har en avsikt att amma men långt ifrån alla når sina

Artificial intelligence is a topic that receives large amounts of interest from all parts of society as it promises to have a wide impact on all parts of society ranging from the ways people work and live, to the economy and progress to the sustainable development goals. Following from this, the technical prospects of AI innovations, and their potential for societal impact have received a lot of s

Trots att forskning i västerländska länder visat på en förändring i hur unga män uttrycker manlighet och vänskap, så kallad inkluderande maskulinitet (Anderson, 2012; McCormack, 2013), så har detta ännu inte gjort något större avtryck i svensk maskulinitetssforskning. Denna bidrar till detta forskningsfält genom att studera hur maskulinitet uttrycks i den svenska ungdomsserien Eagles, med hjälp av

The thesis examines the possibility of developing a system that can be used to detect the number of people in a given area with high accuracy. By using a variety of hardware components, publicly available object detection models and a cloud platform a highly modern approach is examined. The aim is to develop a cost-effective and scalable system which should be able to adapt to a given area. Differ

Initially, the subject of this paper was to investigate how the Swedish cultural heritage law (Kulturmiljölagen 1988:950) affects the church buildings of the Church of Sweden. When the parishes of the Church of Sweden wish to change their churches interiors to fit contemporary liturgical ideals they must first seek permission from the County Administrative Boards who ensures the preservation of th

This paper examines the carbon price dynamics in the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS). It seeks to answer whether these can be explained by marginal emission abatement costs, as stated by theoretical propositions. The primary abatement method, fuel switching, and other potential determinants are examined to test their relative importance in carbon price dynamics. The results from the perf

Brands in the fashion industry are currently going through extensive changes in their visual expressions. Logos are being redesigned to appear more simplistic and are leaving behind their complex and well-established design. For heritage brands, that rely heavily on their past as part of their branding, it is a challenge to maintain their brand identity while moving from a complex to a simple visu

Regionalism in Africa has surged since post-colonial times in a shared aim to consolidate resources and integrate national markets into a common entity. However, intra-regional in Africa has stagnated for decades owing to various structural and procedural roadblocks. Literature discusses that multiple memberships that member states obtain from different regional trade blocs complicate the trading

Freevalve AB utvecklar kamlösa ventilsystem till förbränningsmotorer med hjälp av pneumatiska samt hydrauliska system. En luftkompressor används för att generera tryck till den pneumatiska kretsen. För att öka effektiviteten hos Freevalves ventilsystem skall en ny kompressor, designad specifikt för applikationen, utvecklas av företaget. Den här uppsatsen är en del av utvecklingen av denna kompreFreevalve AB develops camless valvetrains for internal combustion engines using pneumatic and hydraulic systems. An air compressor is used to generate pressure in the pneumatic system. To further increase efficiency of the Freevalve system, a new compressor tailored to its purpose, is being developed in house. This thesis is part of the development of this compressor, which is a reciprocating pis

As technology advances and population rises, requirements for everyday doors change. In the industrial sector, companies have to keep up with the increase in supply and demand. A well-functioning industrial folding door contributes to a steady flow of goods. Folding doors come in many different sizes and are often installed in narrow spaces. In order for any door supplier to stay competitive, offe

Baobab är ett träd som främst växer i Afrika, men även förekommer i östra Indien, Sydamerika och Australien. På träden, som kan bli upp till 20 meter höga, växer frukten Baobab. I vardagligt tal brukar frukten benämnas som apbröd, detta eftersom babianerna gärna äter sig mätta på frukten. Det är inte bara babianer som tycker om frukten, utan även människor. Frukten är näringsrik då den innehåller Introduction: In this work, oil from Baobab seeds was extracted and analysed in order to determine how much oil the seeds contain and the fatty acid composition of the seeds. Background: A lot of seeds go to waste when either producing drinks of Baobab fruit or simply eating the fruit raw. Thus, it would be favourable if it was possible to produce a product based on the left-over seeds, suitably

This study focuses on the relationship between education and economic growth, specifically the effect a potential decline in schooling caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic would have on the economic growth of a country. Using an inductive approach, the study focuses on the Sub- Saharan African countries, especially Kenya, since there is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of students h

Only recently has a geographical viewpoint on sustainability transitions opened up the containerized view on transition trajectories. Next to the important step of institutionalising niche logics transforming them into regime rationalities, the multi-scalar perspective reveals that niches, as well as regimes, can also upscale. This means that the socio-technical configuration of the niche or r

A large share of the existing building stock in Sweden originates from the so-called Million Building Programme, a large-scale construction wave between 1965 and 1974 to tackle the housing shortage at this time. Those buildings have very high energy demand and require renovation due to age and often neglected maintenance. The Swedish government’s long-term climate and energy goals are tied to an e

Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo

Research conducted on industrial symbiosis often brings up the importance of trust and collaboration related constraints and enablers if inter-organizational efforts are to be pursued. This is also found in literature related specifically to Sweden and its agri-food sector. There are limited examples of collecting empirical evidence on trust in relation to IS and even less so with a focus on SMEs.

The increasing amount of renewable energy in the electrical grid comes with several challenges, of which overvoltage and congestion (overcurrents) are the subjects of this work. One flexible way of handling these problems is active management by some control system. There is a trade-off between simplicity when implementing the control system and the performance. In the project Active Network Manag

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic triggered changed circumstances extensively. One aspect of such changes arise from issues in cross-border supply contracts, for example due to incapability of contractual performance because of entry bans and lack of labor force as the employees were set on quarantines. Usually contractual non-performance leads to breacher’s liability for damages, but exceptio

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka hur transpersoner från deras egna perspektiv diskuterar utsatthet för hatbrott och den eventuella påverkan det medför. Syftet baserades dels på ett nyligen tillkommit hatbrottsmotiv för könsöverskridande identitet och uttryck samt dels en brist på kvalitativ forskning om hatbrott mot transpersoner. Den fråga som ämnades att besvaras var:
