Bakgrund: Majoriteten av individer med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) har svårigheter att tolka och bearbeta sensoriska intryck. När ett barns förmåga att bearbeta sensoriska intryck inte matchar kraven i miljön blir skoldagen en stor utmaning. Idag saknar skolan användbara modeller för att förstå elevers skolsvårigheter och behov utifrån ett aktivitets- och delaktighetsperspektiv. Syfte: Att med sBackground: The majority of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties in interpreting and processing sensory input. When the abilities of a child to process sensory input does not match the demands of the environment, school becomes a difficult challenge. Schools today lack models that enable teachers to understand the difficulties of a pupil from an occupational- and parti

Hungary is one of the countries that has followed the global trend of democratic backsliding. Inspired by the closing of the Central European University in Budapest we decided to take a closer look at which laws made it possible for the Hungarian government to implement these changes on the higher education institutions. The purpose of this essay is to examine the civil democratic activity followi

Could geographic distance effect how we perceive commercials? Research within the confines of attitude change has found a connection between close and distant temporal distances and concrete and abstract thinking. The present study sought to expand this research to spatial distance and regulatory focus.131 students were recruited to an experiment with the purpose to investigate how spatial di

The purpose of this study was to examine experiences of the development of digitalization from a user perspective where the users are sober addicts. Six different interviews with members from a non profit organization (NPO) in Malmö, who also are or have been social service clients, have been conducted. The empirical data from the interviews have been analyzed from the theoretical perspectives of

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. It is beginning to appear in personal life, business sectors, society, and shows impacts on each these contexts. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how narrow AI could potentially affect the way we will organise. To fulfil this purpose, the Four Frames was used to collect and analyse recent publications for insights over

Elektricitet går inte att upptäcka med de flesta av våra sinnen men utgör en fara som orsakar nästan 1000 arbetsrelaterade olyckor per år som leder till att omkring 4 personer mister livet varje år. Intressant att undersöka är hur förbättrad riskhantering och säkerhetsarbete kan bidra till en lösning på detta problem. Om alla lagar och rekommendationer följs är det i princip omöjligt att drabbas When planning for electrical installation work it is suggested in ESA, Elsäkerhetsanvisningarna, to conduct some sort of risk assessment both before and during the work to maintain a certain electrical safety level. These risk assessments vary between different companies both in quality and method, but the aim is the same. One of the issues arise from the fact that risk assessment in ESA is not sp

Syftet med studien har varit att beskriva hur både chefer och anställda, i ett svenskt företag inom teknik och installation branschen, resonerar om och reflekterar kring de centrala aspekterna inom ”distribuerat ledarskap”, såsom ansvarsfrihet, internt koncept, som inkluderar delade målen, socialt stöd och möjligheten till att få sin röst hörd samt utbildning. Ytterligare syfte har varit att beskrThe purpose of the study has been to describe how both manager directors and employees, in a Swedish company of the technology and installation industry, reasoning about and reflect on the key aspects of "distributed leadership", such as empowerment, internal concept, which includes shared goals, social support and opportunities to speak out and be heard and education. Another purpose ha

The purpose of this study is to investigate the driving forces towards second-hand shopping for clothing. Though literature on this topic already exists, there is still room for further examination, especially when adding other perspectives to it. Therefore, this project is especially concerned with gaining a deeper understanding of the underlying motivations for shopping second-hand, looking into

The modern society is getting more and more digitalized and the concept Internet of Things is growing. The data being collected and digital services require a place to be accessed and sold, thus setting the demand for a new kind of marketplace; an online IoT focused marketplace. The large EU supported open source platform for Smart Solutions, FIWARE, has created such a marketplace, namely the Busi

Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy

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

This essay presents a perspective in which knowledge is to be understood as abilities of the nervous system. Classic epistemology has not been able to shed sufficient light on a large number of conundrums that arise from its analyses on human belief, which motivates a different approach. An introductory discussion herein argues for a new naturalistic principle concerning what I have termed ‘congru

The DAC countries have for a long time been practically the only large donors of international aid. However, China has become increasingly influential the last decade. This study is aimed at investigating how aid from the DAC countries has changed when Chinese aid has increased. Aid aimed at promoting democracy, corruption, governance, and human rights is investigated since these sectors present

Under många år har diskussioner förts kring upprättandet av en enhetlig europeisk avtalsrättslig lagstiftning. Harmoniseringsprocessen har pågått såväl på lagstiftningsplanet som på akademisk nivå. Draft Common Frame of Reference, DCFR, initierades som ytterligare ett steg mot denna tillnärmning av lagstiftning. Nämnda referensram utgör hittills soft law men kan, helt eller delvis, komma att liggaFor several years, there has been an ongoing debate regarding the establishment of a uniform European contract law. The subsequent harmonization process has been driven both on an academic level as well as by the legislative authority of the European Union. Recently established, the Draft Common Frame of Reference, DCFR, is an initial step towards unification of laws. This frame of reference is hi

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a progressive instrument specifically designed for children that gives a right to a child for her/his views to be heard whenever the decision that might affect her/his life is taken, including the decision on religious education.

HIV/AIDS is not to be looked upon as an entirely medical problem as will be explained throughout this thesis. In Nicaragua it is indeed a social disease due to social and cultural factors leading to the misery of HIV-positive women. Nicaragua is an interesting case when studying HIV/AIDS because it is the Central American country with the lowest number of official reported cases. However there are

The main objective of this thesis is to investigate the distribution of hydrological resources over time and space in two sub basins of the Lake Poopó area in Bolivia. This investigation is made in order to evaluate how supply and demand can be balanced and what effect the insufficiency of hydrological resources has on the socio economic situation. The two main problems in the area regarding water

My intention was to explore the childhood of children and adolescents within the religious organization of Jehovah´s Witnesses, in Sweden. I used a technique where I interviewed three active witnesses and four former members. The former members either had left the religion freely or had been excluded by the movement. I wanted to know more from those two different perspectives, because they often s

During the 1980s and 1990s more and more countries opened up their economies to trade and increased their volumes of trade. In the same period of time it has been said that income inequality increased in many parts of the world. The aim of this thesis is to discover whether increased income inequality can be related to trade openness. This relationship is studied using three different hypotheses.
