Dehumanization has been a widely studied phenomenon for the explanation of inter-group conflicts and violence. In this study, two forms of dehumanization, blatant form and subtle form (infrahumanization), have been applied in a class and culture-related conflict, which is a comparison of urban versus rural within the context of sexual harassment. Dehumanization of two targets (urban versus rural)
In this thesis I examine fluctuations and growth rates of household debt before, during and after financial crises in Sweden 1873-2015. The results show similar patterns in fluctuations between crisis and their adjacent years in Sweden. The results also show a significantly higher volatility of household debt growth rate fluctuations before, during and after financial crises compared to the rest o

This papers aims at analysing Chinese suppliers’ expectations of interfirm relationship when Western companies offshore their production to China. The research is motivated by the underrepresentation of the Chinese suppliers’ perspective in the literature and the undisputed role of China as the second most popular destination for offshoring. The literature finds that a successful relationship betw
This report focuses on the issues associated with large occupant loads and counter-flows in underground metro stations. A basic case study is performed by simulating different countermeasures scenarios to investigate the implication that the countermeasures may have on the occupant load on the platform. The countermeasures investigated were modifications to the flow through ticket gates or escalat
Syftet med studien är att kartlägga vilka egenskaper och färdigheter en byggprojektledare bör utveckla för att säkerställa ett projekts framgång. Studien ämnar även undersöka projektledarnas nuvarande ledarkompetenser och val av tillvägagångssätt i projekten. Detta för att bilda en uppfattning av mentorskapets effekter som kompetensutvecklingsmetod, och få en djupare förståelse för hur mentorskape
The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
While global carbon dioxide emissions increase considerably over the past decades, the former Soviet Union republics experience a substantial decrease of the environmental indicator since the dissolution of the USSR. Nonetheless, considering the prominent Soviet heritage in a form of energy intensive heavy manufacturing, industrialization remains one of the strong determinants for the environmenta
Investeringar till stängningskursen under första handelsdagen i börsintroduktioner på Bombay Stock Exchange genererar en negativ anormal avkastning på kort såväl som lång sikt. Endast en av de undersökta variablerna, branschen Healthcare, har ett statistiskt säkerställt samband med den långsiktiga prestationen.Investments in IPOs on the Bombay Stock Exchange at the closing price on the first day of trading generates a negative abnormal return in both the short and the long run. Only one of the independent variables, the industry Healthcare, has a statistically proven connection to the long run performance.
In Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.
The purpose with this project was to create future self-service points for Skånetrafiken. The ticket machines that are in use today are difficult to interact with and excluding to people who are sight impaired or uses a wheelchair. Since Skånetrafiken are going to implement new self-service solutions in 2019 they want suggestions on how it could be designed. We thought that this project was an exc
Denna uppsats undersöker hur en psykiatrisk vårdinstitution väljer att informera om psykiska sjukdomar när mottagaren är barn som är anhöriga i psykiatrin. Syftet är att ta reda på vilka sociala strategier som används för att informera om ett känsligt ämne på ett respektfullt och förtroendeingivande sätt. I min undersökning har jag utgått från teorier om artighetsstrategier som kan sägas skapa ant
Fluorescence imaging is a growing biomedical technique; it can be used to localize the luminescent biomarkers inside the tissue. Lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) are promising luminescent probes for multiple applications in biophotonics. They allow acquiring autofluorescence-free recordings with high spatial resolution. How- ever, upconverting nanoparticles have a low quantum yi
The UK has one of the lowest rates of social mobility in the developed world. While ample research has been published on the stratification of British society resulting from this, far less UK-specific work looks to unpack the processes which ensure these divides persist. This study reviews wider social mobility literature to demonstrate how inequality of opportunity in human capital development co
Abstract: The Demand-Control Model and the Effort-Reward-Imbalance Model are two models of occupational health that connects psychosocial work factors to health. Related research has often focused on small and homogenous samples and has rarely taken into account the eventual intermediating effect of different welfare regimes. Furthermore results regarding gender have been ambiguous. Through logist
This study aimed to examine the relatives' crisis associated with war-related experiences and the effect of the disappearance of family members during the Kosovo War. Based on the purpose of the study questions were formulated to find out the impact of the war’s events, the support relatives received to handle their everyday life, and the opportunity to process their crisis response. The crisi
The aim of this master thesis was to investigate a Fe-Mo-oxide catalyst of spinel structure for methanol oxidation to produce formaldehyde and determine if the spinel could be an alternative to the commercial Formox catalyst used today. This included firstly, synthesising the catalyst to get more knowledge of the formation of the structure and secondly, determine the activity, selectivity to forma
This paper will illustrate legally knowledgeable judges’ experiences of working with lay judges in the district courts of Sweden, as well as their advantages and disadvantages within the judicial field. The system of lay judges has been subject for discussion both within the media and internally within the court. This may be partly due to the general lack of legal knowledge withheld by the lay jud
This thesis is written as an introductory compilation of two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) and its applications. It introduces the concepts of 2DES where the aim is to provide an overview of the technique and a few of its more prominent applications for those who are not already familiar with the technique. 2DES is a third-order optics technique that utilizes three interactions with l
