The purpose of this study is to explore and visualize individuals’ personal experiences of the social work carried out by the social services. We have examined individuals’ opinions and feelings based on their experiences and contact with the social services. Through six qualitative interviews based on the Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis, we have analyzed the empirical data by applying Char
Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are a group of incurable conditions, among which the most common, such as COPD and asthma, have significant negative impacts on patients’ mental health and economic productivity. Understanding of the causes and affected populations of CRDs is continuously evolving, with air pollution now recognized as an important etiological factor alongside smoking, receiving
Enligt kursplanen är syftet med detta projekt att närma sig och ta sig an arkitektoniska gestaltningsfrågor mot bakgrund av ett föränderligt och komplext samhälle. Grundinställningen är att arkitektur gör skillnad, och att den gör det därför att den är del av ett sammanhang som är större än sig självt. För att förstå hur dessa sammanhang verkar, tillämpar kursen ett processperspektiv på arkitektur
This study investigates the impacts of rural tourism on the livelihoods of communities in the Sigiriya region of Sri Lanka, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its cultural and natural heritage. Adopting a qualitative case study approach, it integrates the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) and Dependency Theory to examine both the developmental opportunities and structural constraint
Mötet mellan gammalt och nytt är en central fråga vid urbana infillprojekt. Bostadsbristen i Stockholm gör förtätningen till ett faktum, samtidigt som vi befinner oss i en klimatkris och ser ett behov att utöka användningen av miljövänliga material. I arbetet undersöker jag olika möten för ett infillprojekt på en kulturhistorisk fastighet på Södermalm för att se hur narrativet av kvarteret kan for
Bunch compressors in linear accelerators (linac) are magnetic devices used to shorten electron bunch length, and therefore, increase the peak current. MAX IV, located in Lund, Sweden, is a synchrotron light source facility that includes a linac containing two double-achromat bunch compressors, BC1 and BC2. Each bunch compressor consists of two identical arcs bent in opposite directions. As electro
Saltwater intrusion into coastal groundwater is an increasing concern due to climate change, as drought and declining groundwater levels can allow seawater to infiltrate groundwater aquifers. This study investigates chloride concentrations in eight municipal wells in Fågelmara, Karlskrona, from 2003 to 2025, and groundwater levels in wells nearby from 2019 to 2025, to assess signs of saltwater int
Floods are among the most frequent and destructive natural disasters in Sub-Saharan Africa, exacerbated by climate change, rapid urbanisation, and inadequate infrastructure. In this context, drones, or Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are increasingly recognised for their potential to enhance disaster management. Yet, adoption across the region remains fragmented, inconsistently integrated into work
This study aimed to investigate and analyze prominent narratives within twelve YouTube videos published by a Swedish organization I have deidentified. It also investigated how social workers within child protective services in Sweden appear within the empirical material. The study leaned towards the following theories: The social constructivist theory and narrative theory, with terms created by Gé
This study aims to examine and compare attitudes towards drug-related problems, professional work with individuals experiencing such problems, and harm reduction interventions among professionals in social services and adult psychiatry in Malmö. The study is based on a quantitative cross-sectional design, with 150 respondents completing a digital survey that included three established instruments:
In this thesis, a comprehensive on-shell renormalization scheme for the potential of the general CP-violating Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) at one-loop level is presented. We derive and implement two schemes that are self-consistent and do not rely on a set of consistency equations to be valid. We focus on showcasing the effects of different renormalization schemes and their implications on physi
In this bachelor's thesis, different forcing term strategies for the inexact Newton method were evaluated on some standard test problems, the stationary p-Laplacian differential equation and the time-dependent Forchheimer equation. The forcing term strategies were initially studied by replicating experiments conducted by An, Mo and Liu (2005, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics)
This study aimed to analyze women’s entry into organized crime and factors that complicate exiting these groups. This study is based on a qualitative approach and has been conducted using document analysis. Thematic analysis has been used to analyze eight transcribed podcast episodes where women share their experiences of being a part of organized crime groups in Sweden. To implement this study, w
Digitalisering av arbete omvandlar arbetslivet i stora delar av världen. Trots detta har få studier undersökt medarbetare inom HR-professionens uppfattning av sin yrkesroll och motivation i arbetet i förhållande till dessa förändringar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka HR-anställdas erfarenheter av och förväntningar på arbete med data-drivet beslutsfattande, och hur deras attityder och förhållDigitalization of work changes work life in large parts of the world. Despite this, few studies have examined employees within the HR-profession’s perception of their professional role, and motivation in their work in regards to these changes. The aim of the study was to examine HR-employees experiences of, and expectations on work with data-driven decision making, and how their attitudes relate t
Women in the humanities : scientific ideals during the second half of the 20th century This thesis examines scientific ideals of female humanists during the second half of the 20th century through the analytical concept scientific or scholarly persona. The aim with this thesis is to show how scientific ideals have been negotiated in the context of obituaries of female scholars active in the humani
Problem background and research problem: Previous research has shown that demographic characteristics of corporate executives can influence financial decision-making. According to Upper Echelons Theory, factors such as gender, age and experience play a role in shaping strategic decisions. However, research on the role of CFOs remains limited, especially within capital-intensive industries like the
This study explores the perceived significance of Sida’s funding in Cambodia’s education sector and how education-related organisations have adapted to the financial shortfall following Sida’s withdrawal. Drawing on Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), the research highlights the critical role Sida played as a valued donor, supporting a wide range of educational initiatives from primary to higher edu
In the Philippines, being labeled as “red” is akin to being given a death sentence. Red-tagging is a political strategy, most notably employed by national security forces, to accuse, denounce, and persecute individuals and civil society organizations as members or supporters of front organizations of communist guerrilla groups. It is the act of indiscriminately associating individuals or organizat
Compressed air systems account for roughly 10 % of industrial electricity use, suggesting that even marginal gains in compressor efficiency yield substantial cost and emission savings. Although screw compressors are valued for their compact and reliable design, the process of optimizing the performance of a machine for a specific application is typically time-consuming due to manual testing under
In this essay I aim to find out about the closure of the Malmö-Simrishamns Järnväg, which was the shortest way from the eastern to the western coast of Skåne. By giving a historical background to the foundation and development of the railway and its importance for Skåne’s economic development, and through a qualitative investigation of studies made in this area of history of economics, I will try
