Denna studiens syfte var att undersöka och försöka precisera vad för specifika egenskaper och förmågor hos en psykoterapeut som forskare och teoretiker hitintills har beskrivit vara eftersträvansvärda för att kunna ge en god terapeutisk effekt i psykoterapeutiska behandlingar. Syftet var också att i möjligaste mån skapa en tydlig översiktlig kartläggning och sammanfattning genom att samla ihop mycThe aim of this study was to investigate and try to specify what specific characteristics and abilities of a psychotherapist that researchers and theorists have so far described to be desirable in order to provide a good therapeutic effect in psychotherapeutic treatments. The aim was also to create, as far as possible, a clear overview and summary by collecting as much of material that is currentl

After the major populist events such as Trump and Brexit, the media politicians turned their attention to the socio-economic and political division between big cities and small countryside communities. Rural areas where right-wing populist parties have found a large part of their support have besome “left-behind places", described as forgotten and misunderstood. The question of why these popu

A prerequisite for the effective conservation of species, is the accurate assessment of a species’ distribution and numbers. In order to look into the population sizes of birds, a quantitative atlas project from 1981 included a total count of the inland birds in the Faroe Islands. The aim for my thesis was to look at the population changes from 1981 until 2020, by repeating the 1981 atlas project,

There is a need for harmonisation of stability study designs of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in treatments for various diseases. Like all drugs, their quality must be verified through stability studies. The ICH guidelines give general recommendations regarding stability studies of antibodies, and specifications should often be determined on a case-by-case bas

Title: “Language is access to everything” - A qualitative study of SFI-teachers' experience of the transition to digitalized distance education. Authors: Rania Elwan and Fitore Mehmeti Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Assessor: Maria Bergendal Arvidsson The purpose of the study is to investigate from teachers for Swedish for immigrants (SFI) perspective how the transition to digitalized distance ed

This paper was part of the ongoing cooperation between the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority and the Department of Psychology at Lund University. The purpose of this study was to develop a self-report measure regarding human factors, for the air traffic controllers to fill out before they start their working shift. This in order to aid the team leaders in their judgment regarding the air traffic co

Visual inspection in order to assure quality control is a challenging field that is attracting increasing interest after a long period of silence due to the trust and hope in computers and automation. Human visual inspection is however a challenging area as it requires the designer of the system to take in to account demands and limitations of technical, economic and psychological nature. This st

Integration of fluctuating renewables like wind and solar power is nowadays a hot topic, but this comes at a cost of decreased stability of the power system. The deterioration often translates into so-called spikes and drops in the electricity spot price, very large (even extreme) deviations from the regular spot price, followed by a reversion to roughly the original level a few days later. We use

Fortuna’s Guises: Fortune, Misfortune, and Risk in Early Modern Sweden. This dissertation explores learned conceptions of uncertainty and risk during the period stretching approximately between 1560 and 1720. Previous historical overviews of the ideas about risk hold that pre-industrial societies viewed all worldly happenings as emanations of God’s will or other forces lying beyond human control.

In this thesis, the main male characters in three of the plays written by Federico García Lorca are analysed with the aim of seeing the role they play in the frustration of desire. After two chapters dedicated to a review of published critical studies on Lorca and to certain theoretical considerations, Chapter Three examines desire drawing on Ubersfeld's actancial model and observes that these mal

To study and compare the safety of intersection, traffic scientists today typically manually monitor the intersection during several days and count how often certain events such as evasive manoeuvres occur. This is a laboursome and costly procedure. The aim of this thesis is to provide tools that can reduce the amount of manual labour required by using automated video analytics. Two methods for cr

We have characterized the lipid chain freezing in dilute aqueous vesicle dispersions of the cationic lipid dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB) using wide and small angle X-ray scattering, solid state NMR, DSC, turbidity and density measurements. The lipids freeze in two steps. Above 40 degrees C the chains are fluid and the lipids are in a so-called liquid-crystalline state. When cooling b

Background: Performance of migrating birds can be affected by a number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors like morphology, meteorological conditions and migration strategies. We compared travel speeds of four raptor species during their crossing of the Sahara desert. Focusing the analyses on this region allows us to compare different species under equivalent conditions in order to disentangle whic

This paper introduces the possibility of increasing the efficiency and minimizing the risk in functions marketing in the aircraft industry by focusing on better control of the logistic parameters. Functions marketing can be described as the marketing of a function rather than a product. The emphasis in this paper will be on the maintenance, i.e. repair and overhaul, of aircraft engines. Functions

The Court's refusal to implement horizontal direct effect upon directives may, in some cases, lead to injustice. It can not be considered just and equitable that individuals who do not comply with provisions stemming from a supreme legal order are able to avoid retribution. This situation may be seen as further exacerbated by the fact that public funds are used to finance the shortcomings. Wha

An amorphous, colorless, and highly transparent polymer containing boron atoms in its branched chain architecture was synthesised from boron trioxide, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and methoxy end-capped PEG. Electrolytes based on this polymer and different concentrations of lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) were prepared and characterised by impedance spectroscopy, calorimetry and thermogravimetry. The

Compounds containing lone-pair elements such as TeIV are very interesting from the structural point of view, as the lone-pair nonbonding regions create low-dimensional geometrical arrangements. We have synthesized two new compounds with these features - Ba2Cu2Te 4O11Br2 (I) and Ba2Cu 2Te4O11-δ(OH)2δBr 2 (II, δ ≈ 0.57) - as members of the AE-M-Te-O-X (AE = alkaline-earth metal, M = transition metal

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau grasslands are unique geographical regions and store substantial soil organic matter (SOM) in the soil surface, which make them very sensitive to global climate change. Here, we focused on three main grassland types (alpine meadow, steppe, and desert) and conducted a soil incubation experiment at five different temperatures (5, 10, 15, 20, and 25°C) to investigate SOM decompo

Northeast China, the most important region for commercial grain farming in China, is vulnerable to drought due to high fluctuation in monthly rainfall. Timely, accurate and effective drought monitoring is very essential for securing the output of grain farming. In this study, three widely used drought indices were compared using satellite soil moisture data and their capability for drought monitor
