According to the statistics from Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), a continuously declining trend is showed in Swedish kids' mathematical performance during recent years. In comparison with other OECD countries, the mathematical literacy of 15-year-old students in Sweden is almost below average. So m
One of the current trends amongst the major software companies is Virtual Personal Assistants (VPA), such as Apple Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. This market is growing rapidly, and the assistants are getting smarter and becoming more capable. However, in this kind of rapid expansion it is easy to lose focus on the user, which may lead to the end user discarding the VPA as another softwa
After hatching, bird chicks are inevitably exposed to the thermal conditions of their environment. For the first stage of development chicks are not yet fully capable of maintaining a stable body temperature. During this time, their thermal environment can cause morphological and physiological priming. The plasticity of these responses and the extent to which they persist in the long-term is not w
The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till. CPT is a pressure probe and mainly used to get a good picture of the statigraphy and the soil condition. CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri
Tidigare forskning har poängterat den höga prevalensen och de långtgående konsekvenserna av kränkningar i vården, det vill säga överträdelser av hälso- och sjukvårdens etiska principer och andra brister i patientbemötande. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka vårdpersonalens upplevelser av kränkningar i vuxenpsykiatrin utifrån social- och organisationspsykologiska faktorer. Studien genPrevious research has emphasized the high prevalence and far-reaching consequences of abuse in healthcare, that is violations of ethical principles and other shortcomings in patient care. The purpose of the present study was to investigate staff's experiences of violations in adult psychiatry based on social and organizational psychological factors. The study was conducted as an online survey
Due to the era of robotization and new communication technologies, social robots are increasingly used in different areas of society. This thesis aims to examine the communicative situation between humans and robots from a social psychological perspective. We intend to increase the understanding of what a human-robot-interaction means to the communicative situation. The question that has guided th
Psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) refererar till förmågan att genomföra beteenden som ligger i linje med långsiktiga mål inom värderade områden i livet trots närvaro av obehagliga tankar, känslor och fysiska sensationer som ger upphov till impulser att undvika dessa erfarenheter. Högre nivåer av PF (och ökning av PF under behandling) är kopplat till bättre fungerande och mindre upplevt obehag hos vuxn
Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa
The relationship between Church of Sweden’s diocese of Lund and the Evangelical Church of the Church Province of Saxony in the German Democratic Republic started in 1983 and came to an end with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. The exchange-based relationship between the two churches started with a request from the church in East Germany, searching for allies and ecumenical contacts in Western
Problem: The case study company, BorgWarner, currently has no quantitative method for evaluating the risks connected to different inventory levels throughout their internal supply chain. Meanwhile there are internal goals for lowering the amount of capital tied in inventory. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how changes in the component and finished goods inventory levels affec
The purpose of this study is to survey the Swedish peoples trust to welfare from the perspective of the changes that have occurred since 1986.

För att ta reda på gymnasielärare och gymnasieelevers erfarenheter av bedömning och ämnesintegrerat arbete i kursen Ensemble med körsång genomfördes en studie, bestående av intervjuer med lärare och en enkät som gavs till elever. Vår nyfikenhet på ämnet grundar sig i ett begrepp en klasskamrat mötte på vår VFU, nämligen “ensemble med körtvång” som gjorde. Det gjorde oss undrande över hur kursen En
With rising interest rates increasing the cost of capital, businesses are focusing on reducing expenses. Tied-up capital, largely represented by inventory, is a critical cost driver. Therefore, optimizing inventory levels is crucial for controlling capital costs. Inventory levels consist of cycle stock and safety stock. Cycle stock covers average demand during replenishment, while safety stock mit

Mätinstrumentet Behavioural, Emotional and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) togs fram för att mäta de färdigheter som är viktiga att ha för att hantera vardagslivet. Instrumentet utvecklades ursprungligen för vuxna, men forskning indikerar att barn- och ungdomsåren är en kritisk period för utveckling av dessa färdigheter och att färdigheterna kan påverka förmågan att hantera tillvaron och må bra. IThe Behavioral, Emotional and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) is a measure designed to comprehensively assess behavioral, emotional and social skills necessary to manage daily life. The measure was originally developed for adults, but evidence suggests adolescence is a key period for the development of the BESSI skills and that these skills affect young peoples’ chances at managing life and experi
Lyme borreliosis (LB) is a common and increasing tick-borne disease in Europe. The risk of acquiring a Borrelia infection after a tick bite is not fully known. Therefore, we investigated the incidence of Borrelia infection after a bite by a Borrelia-infected tick and if the Borrelia load and/or the duration of tick-feeding influenced the risk of infection. During 2008-2009, ticks and blood samples
The etiologic role of physical activity in endometrial cancer risk remains unclear given the few epidemiologic studies that have been conducted. To investigate this relation more fully, an analysis was,undertaken in the European prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition (EPIC). During an average 6.6 years of follow-up, 689 incident endometrial cancer cases were identified from an analyti
Det föreliggande arbetets övergripande syfte är att klarlägga läspraktiken Shared Readings möjligheter och begränsningar som litteraturarbete i svenskämnet i gymnasieskolan. Shared Reading är en läspraktik som kombinerar högläsning och samtal om texten under läsningen. En utbildad läsledare ansvarar för att underlätta samtalet, men samtalets fokus ligger på deltagarnas personliga respons på textenThe overarching aim of this study is to clarify the reading method Shared Reading’s potential and limitations as a method of teaching literature in the subject of Swedish in upper-secondary school. Shared Reading is a reading method that combines reading aloud and conversation about the text during reading. A trained facilitator is responsible for keeping the conversation alive, but the conversati
Departing from the field of queer migration, the aim of the thesis is to grasp the experience of queer migrants in Sweden. Inspired by Les Back’s notion of sociology as an art of listening that engages critically with research participants, and guided by feminist sociologists’ methodological contributions, the study is carried out through in-depth interviews with twelve queer migrants from differe
This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos
