The purpose of this study was to examine and analyze the domestic violence shelters workers experience of collaboration with social service and how this influence theirs legitimacy. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured interviews with three shelters workers and three social workers on social service. This study was done in southern Sweden. The theoretical approach being used was: new
Recent research has been done with fungal hyphae growing in mazes or hyphae growing under the influence of a gradient. This research could give new knowledge on how fungi grow in relation to its surroundings. As fungi are important for biological decomposing, human agriculture, medicine and many other areas, this has inspired us to study hyphal growth inside a maze simultaneously under the influen
The future begins at school – municipal differences regarding education for under-aged EU migrants. The number of exposed EU-migrants in Sweden is growing, and so is the number of under-aged EU-migrants who are travelling with their parents. Many of these belong to the Roma minority in countries such as Bulgaria and Romania. The aim of this study is to examine municipal differences in offering ed
Molecular imaging techniques have become an essential tool for cancer diagnosis. They have the potential to detect cancer at early stages and thus, they can change the outcome of the disease and patient prognosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has arisen as one of the most promising imaging methods used for the screening of soft tumor tissues such as breast cancer. However, the specificity of M
Vindkraftens utbyggnad kommer leda till att det i framtiden kommer ställas högre krav på nedstyrning av den aktiva effekten i vindkraftsanläggningar. Denna rapport tar upp hur elproduktionen påverkas vid nedstyrning. Det är inte alltid självklart hur en anläggning påverkas då det är faktorer som turbinlayout, vindriktning och vindhastighet som spelar in. För att kunna modellera nedreglering av deThe expansion of wind power will lead to higher demands on downward regulation of active power in wind power plants. This report treats how the production of electricity is affected by downward regulation. It is not trivial how a wind power plant reacts since factors like turbine layout, wind direction and wind speed have an impact. To be able to model downward regulation of the active power the w
Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a techni
Skolan har ingen lång tradition av att arbeta laborativt i matematik och dynamisk programvara är ett sätt att fylla denna brist. Dynamisk programvara låter eleven gå i dialog, utmanar, skapar nyfikenhet, åskådliggör begrepp och underlättar inlärningen. Det krävs emellertid att lärare är villiga att sätta sig in i de relativt nya möjligheterna eftersom datoranvändning i matematik- och fysikundervisReportedly in Swedish schools, there is no long tradition of investigative and laboratory work in the mathematics subject. Dynamic software is a term which encapsulates the purpose of software as a pedagogical instrument in teaching. There is great potential in this but also a need for teachers to engage and apply themselves to the new possibilities. Computer software in class does not automatical
Abonnemangsbaserad försäljning och distribution har blivit allt vanligare inom musik, film och tv-serier och trenden verkar vara på uppgång även för digitala böcker. På den svenska marknaden finns i dag fyra företag som erbjuder obegränsad läsning av e-böcker mot en fast månadskostnad. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka och kartlägga dessa abonne-mangstjänster och utifrån resultatet ana
Studiens syfte är att belysa psykoterapeuters användande av humor i familjeterapi. Vi använde oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer och bearbetade intervjumaterialet med utgångspunkt från fenomenologisk metod och med hjälp av en induktiv tematisk analys. Analysarbetet utmynnade i två huvudsakliga teman, Allians och Psykoterapeutisk teknik och personlighet. Samtliga psykoterapeuter beskrev att humor The aim of the study is to highlight the use of humour by psychotherapists in family therapy. We used semistructured interviews and processed the interviews based on a phenomenological approach and using an inductive thematic analysis. The analysis resulted in three main themes; alliance and psychotherapeutic techniques and personality. All the psychotherapists interviewed in the study described t
Background and issue of study: The global financial crisis, climate change, demographic changes, and rising inequality are some of the global trends that put pressure on public leaders and organizations, civil society organizations and corporations to shift to a social and environmental sustainable development. Social innovations are demanded to be both drivers of positive societal change and forc
Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda vilket värde den kommande rapporteringen av Key Audit Matters (KAM) har i förhållande till privata investerare. Värdeskapandet undersöks utifrån informationsvärde, förtroendet för den reviderade redovisningen och ett reducerat förväntningsgap. Undersökningen utgörs av flermetodsforskning med betoning på den kvantitativa delen där vi kombinerar en enkätundersökning
Non-stationary signals are very common in nature, consider for example speech, music or heart rate. Using the concept of time-frequency analysis this thesis studies the performance of different time-frequency distributions of both simulated and real non-stationary signals. The signals studied are linear and non-linear frequency modulated (FM) signals. Two methods are studied to increase performanc
Traffic accidents cause over 1.2 million deaths, and tens of millions of people are injured or disabled every year. Advanced driver assistant systems and other safety features have the possibility to reduce traffic accidents but do not account for human errors. Studies show that over 90% of all traffic accidents are caused by human errors. One way to reduce human errors is to introduce automation,
This thesis covers optimizing the first phase of the start-up of a thermal power plant using Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) and state estimation using an Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF). The start-up has been optimized in regards to time and fuel usage. The thesis is done as a joint project between Vattenfall and Modelon. Both NMPC and UKF are nonlinear methods and require a model of the
Optical clocks will potentially become the new frequency standard for the SI-definition of the second. Many national metrology institutes around the world have already implemented different versions of such clocks and others are in process of doing so. At SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden, this process has recently begun. This thesis investigates the properties of the Zeeman slower that is t
Elavfall är en av de avfallsfraktioner som växer mest idag. Små fraktioner av avfallet, kallat smått elavfall, betraktas som ett av de största problemen relaterade till elavfall och insamling av denna fraktion anses behöva bli mer omfattande. Smått elavfall hamnar i alltför stor utsträckning i restavfallet och mycket samlas i hemmet trots att det finns insamlingssystem för avfallet på plats idag.
The purpose of this study was to get an greater knowledge of why women commit crimes, the reasons of why women end up in crime and how it is for women to live in a criminal lifestyle. In our survey we did a text analysis based on autobiographies, which we found by searching on the words ”crime”, ”women” and ”criminal” on different web sites. To gain a greater understanding of these women’s behavio
Psykisk ohälsa bland unga är ett växande problem i Sverige. Psykisk ohälsa kan leda till bland annat svårigheter att etablera sig på arbetsmarknaden och psykisk sjukdom. Skolsköterskan möter alla elever under deras skolgång, och forskning visar att hon har en position som är fördelaktig i arbetet med psykisk ohälsa. Syftet med studien var att belysa skolsköterskans upplevelser av att arbeta föreby
