Cardiac arrest is a life-threatening condition in which the heart stops pumping blood to the body, leading to loss of oxygen supply to vital organs. Despite cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), early defibrillation and advances in emergency care, many survivors still suffer from neurological injury due to brain damage from loss of oxygen. Predicting neurological outcome, or even the chances of s
This study aimed to examine the extent to which social work students expressed empathy toward perpetrators of violence and to analyze whether the level of education and the perpetrator’s gender had an impact on empathy. This study used a quantitative, deductive approach. Hypotheses were formulated based on previous research and theories of empathy. Data was collected via a digital questionnaire di
This paper examines how brain injury coordinators construct and exercise their professional role within the rehabilitation care chain, focusing on interprofessional collaboration, individualized support, and organizational conditions. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted as a total population study, including all six brain injury coordinators in Sweden. The data
This study aims to examine how professionals within non-profit organizations describe how the living conditions of children are affected by growing up in families with substance abuse problems. The study was based on a qualitative research approach using semi-structured interviews. Six professionals from two non-profit organizations working with children growing up in families affected by substanc
This study examines whether the take-back and resale programmes of leading global fast-fashion retailers deliver substantive circular change or instead represent means-ends decoupling. Drawing on means-ends decoupling and organisational legitimacy theory, it analyses the corporate sustainability reports of H&M Group, Fast Retailing, and Inditex across five consecutive fiscal years (FY2020–FY20
This thesis explores how large manufacturing companies in the Benelux region make sense of climate resilience and what they perceive as its key elements. Although ‘corporate climate resilience’ has gained increasing attention in academic and practitioner-oriented literature, the concept is characterised by ambiguity and fragmentation, resulting in inconsistent corporate interpretations and practic
Klimatförändringar leder till en ökad mängd nederbörd, vilket medför betydande utmaningar i urbana miljöer. Regnbäddar, en typ av blågrön lösning, kan implementeras för att bidra till hållbar dagvattenhantering genom att rena och fördröja dagvatten. Detta arbete baseras på en fallstudie på regnbäddarna längs Neptunigatan i Malmö, Sverige. Studien innefattade bland annat att utvärdera implementerinClimate change is expected to increase the frequency of heavy rain events, resulting in major challenges for stormwater management in urban areas. Raingardens, a type of blue-green solution, are a sustainable alternative for stormwater management, which can retain and treat stormwater. This master’s thesis is based on a case study of the raingardens along Neptunigatan in Malmö, Sweden and aims to
This thesis aims to develop and evaluate a fast design and optimisation workflow for corrugated tubes used in tubular heat exchangers by combining computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and machine learning. A steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model was established to simplify the simulation process and reduce computational time. Based on the selected CFD setup, a CFD dat
Drift- och underhållsarbeten på högtrafikerade vägar innebär stora utmaningar kopplade till arbetsmiljö, trafiksäkerhet och framkomlighet. Traditionellt utförs många arbeten med passerande trafik där olika skyddsanordningar, exempelvis TMA-fordon och chikanlösningar, används för att skydda både trafikanter och vägarbetare. Samtidigt visar tidigare forskning att den passerande trafiken fortsatt utg
Despite China’s rapid outward foreign direct investment growth, existing international business research has largely focused on capital-intensive, goods-producing sectors, leaving the internationalization of service industries, particularly catering, comparatively underexplored. This study examines why and how Chinese catering firms adapt their business models and operations when entering the Euro
Den här studien är ett svar på Nords (2017) slutsatser om yrkesskribenters behov på arbetsplatsen. Studien kartlägger vilka svårigheter yrkesskribenter på kommunal förvaltning upplever när de skriver och vilka strategier de använder för att hantera dem. Materialet består av åtta intervjuer med deltagare från tre svenska kommuner, tematiskt analyserade utifrån Flower och Hayes (1981) kognitiva skri
Detta examensarbete inom arkitektur är ett designförslag på ett trygghetsboende för äldre. Målet har varit att utforska olika relevanta strategier för att skapa boendemiljöer som motiverar äldre till att fortsätta vara aktiva och sociala. Detta för att äldre ska kunna behålla sin hälsa och autonomi. Intentionen har således varit att förstå hur arkitekter kan gestalta miljöer för äldres välbefinnan
Moralisk stress beskrivs som en intern konflikt, där personliga och professionella värderingar kolliderar till följd av externa och interna faktorer. Det är ett välstuderat fenomen inom hälso- och sjukvården, en yrkeskategori som står inför etiska dilemman när de begränsas från att hjälpa patienter i största möjliga mån. Forskning om moralisk stress är dock kontextbunden till hälso- och sjukvården
Since the rise of ChatGPT, millions of people are using artificial intelligence nowadays, and not only for task-aligned use but also for companionship. Since the launch of Replika companionship chatbot in 2017, millions of people have signed up for the platform, where they use the chatbots for different purposes – friend, sibling, mentor or romantic partner. This thesis investigates the lived expe
Vegetation phenology is closely affected by climate conditions and can be used to understand how vegetation responds to environmental change. While climate data describe the spatial distribution of climatic variables, satellite-derived phenological products can more directly characterize vegetation dynamics over large areas. This study used the Copernicus High Resolution Vegetation Phenology and P
This study aimed to explore how coordinators within Social Intervention Groups (SIG) perceive collaboration between the involved actors in the practical work with SIG. The study specifically examines how coordinators perceive the division of responsibility, the relationship between practice and the guidelines on which the model is based, and the opportunities and limitations affecting collaboratio
The purpose of this study was to examine the emotional challenges social workers working with homeless individuals in civil society organizations experience in client meetings. The method used was qualitative interviews with social workers from civil society organizations that provided help or shelter to homeless individuals. They operated in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö, and one in a smaller
This study investigates how mobile broadband expansion affected the allocation of labor across sectors in Mongolia from 2000 to 2020. Drawing on MobiCom tower rollout data and IPUMS International census microdata, it employs a Difference-in-Differences design that exploits the staggered geographic rollout of broadband infrastructure as a source of quasi-experimental variation. Key findings indicat
Denna studie analyserar upplevelser och erfarenheter av tillgänglighet och möjligheten till delaktighet på olika former av mötesplatser för personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder. Analysen har haft sin utgångspunkt i Axel Honneths teori om erkännande för att belysa aspekter av möjligheter och förklaringar som ligger utanför individen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och har gjorts genom å
