The purpose of the study has been to seek an in-depth understanding of how stress manifests itself in the work situation for social workers in child welfare services. Through a qualitative method and interviews conducted on 4 social workers, the empirical material has been collected. The analysis has then been made based on which stress factors and strategies that can be interpreted. The results f

Practicing breathing exercises (pranayama), concentration (dharana)/meditation (dhyana), postures (asana) and relaxation (savasana). Safe physical exercises without pressure/bodyweight on hands and wrists. I chose postures co
Aktuell statistik som kartlägger svenskars levnadsstandard visar en betydande ökning av övervikt och fetma bland befolkningen. Hög kroppsvikt förknippas med medicinska åkommor såväl som psykosociala problem. Den sociala miljön kring överviktiga individer präglas av exkludering, kränkningar och förlöjligande, dessa beteenden benämns som fat shaming och de utgör en samhällsstruktur av fettförakt. De
Flytande bostäder är inte ett nytt koncept, men under de senaste 20 åren har boende på vatten dykt upp i planarbetet i svenska kommuner samt etableras på marknaden. Helsingborgs stad har visat intresse för konceptet och har tankar på att införa flytande villor i det nya området Oceanhamnen - vilket är bakgrunden för denna studie. Den svenska fastighets-, och plan- och bygglagstiftningen är utforThe Swedish laws of property formation and property development presumes that building happens on the ground. When modern technology allows building on water, there are legal questions to tend to. The purpose of this paper is to examine how land development for housing purposes on water is done in Sweden. The city of Helsingborg is interested in implementing floating homes in their new city dist
Myelin water imaging, MWI, is a non-invasive method used for quantifying the amount of myelin in the brain that can aid the understanding of brain plasticity and neurodegenerative diseases, such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Conventional MWI is done at a field strength of 3 T, though there are indications that higher field strength may lead to higher resolution images. We investigate the use of isot
Bakgrund: Magnetisk resonanstomografi (MR) relateras ofta till oro och ångest hos barn, bland annat på grund av det höga ljudet, trånga utrymmet och långa undersökningstiden, därav är sedering och generell anestesi vanligt förekommande. Barn har olika behov beroende på ålder och mognad därmed kan identifierng av icke-farmakologiska åtgärder behövas för att öka barns trygghet. Syfte: Att beskriva o
In this paper regularization of the correlation matrix between futures contracts is examined. With starting point in the recently established HPCA framework (Avellaneda, 2019), a couple of different extensions to the one-factor model is suggested. Extensions are made in terms of adjusting the model according to different cluster structures. The data consists of futures contracts on a wide variety
Åre municipality, a well-known skiing resort in Sweden, has been classified as a primary risk area for landslides, due to a combination of global warming and increased pressure from expansion. The purpose of this study is to explore options to strengthen climate adaptation planning and reduce vulnerability in Åre. This thesis is a qualitative single-case study with results relevant for sensitive m
Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others. The range of exper
Bakgrund I en åldrande befolkning ökar risken att utveckla neurodegenerativa sjukdomar. Begreppet neurodegenerativ sjukdom är ett samlingsbegrepp för många olika sjukdomar som har gemensamt att de påverkar neuronerna i hjärnan. Om dessa neuroner skadas eller dör kan kroppen inte ersätta dem, vilket gör att sjukdomarna som omfattas inte går att bota, de innebär funktionsnedsättningar för individen
The ongoing climate change has caused an increase in the global mean sea level, and this sea level rise is predicted to continue during the 21st century. The importance of including climate change in decision making is becoming more and more recognized and increasingly important for decisions yielding consequences on longer time scales. The field of climate change communication is currently expand

Med ökande koncentrationer av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären kan energieffektiva tekniker för koldioxidinfångning (CCS) bli viktiga för att växthusgasutsläppen ska minska. Rapportens syfte har varit att experimentellt bestämma och utvärdera fyra egenskaper hos lösningar av vatten, dimetylsulfoxid (DMSO) och aminoalkoholen 2-amino-2-metyl-1-propanol (AMP) som ska användas i en pilotanläggning. Vid inWith increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations, energy efficient carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies could prove important to enable reductions in the global CO2 emissions. The aim was to investigate a novel, non-aqueous, and precipitating chemical absorption system of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), which forms solid carbamate salt cryst
Rammed earth is commonly used to construct traditional Bhutanese buildings. In colder areas, the thermal performance of these buildings is poor leading to the easy ingress of cold air demanding more heating energy to make a comfortable indoor climate. Modern insulation materials are not common in Bhutan due to the lack of knowledge on the advantage of thermal insulating materials, the unavaila
Nyligen har preliminär forskning funnit att personer med självskadebeteende och andra psykiatriska diagnoser verkar ha en lägre funktionsnivå avseende grundläggande självomhändertagande aktiviteter, jämfört med personer med psykiatriska diagnoser men utan självskadebeteende. Anledningarna till detta har dock inte studerats i tidigare forskning. En explorativ kvalitativ forskningsstudie med en kritRecently, preliminary research has suggested that people with deliberate self- harm (DSH) and other psychiatric disorders have a lower functioning regarding fundamental self-care activities, compared to people with psychiatric disorders but without DSH. However, the reasons for this have not been studied in previous research. An explorative qualitative research study with a critical realist approa
The presented thesis focuses on dynamics of capital structure decisions of financially constrained and unconstrained firms listed on Stockholm Stock Exchange. It examines the effect of the global financial crisis on the corporate financing decision. The first chapter introduces the topic, discusses its importance and outlines the contribution to the empirical research. The second chapter the relev
Uppsatsen handlar om Information Overload (IO) och hur det upplevs och hanteras av an-vändare, som sedan kommer appliceras på en empiriska studie med skolungdomar som har neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar. Ungdomar vilka beskrivs ha en annorlunda kognition och därmed är synnerligen känslig för IO. Beskrivning av IO samt beskrivning av mål-gruppen görs inledningsvis. Enkäten utarbetades utif
Land-use changes have led to a decline in suitable habitats for bumblebees, which may affect pollination of crops and wild flowers. Urban green areas such as parks and private gardens have the potential to favor bumblebees and it is thus important to understand how such areas should be designed. The aim with this study is to investigate what is needed to favor bumblebees in the urban environment,
