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
Bathymetry, the measurement of underwater terrain, is crucial for understanding lake storage volumes, water resource availability, and ecological conditions. While there are an estimated 117 million lakes worldwide, bathymetric data remains limited for most of them. Traditional methods for measuring bathymetry requires fieldwork which is costly and time-consuming. For this reason, new less fieldwo
Syftet med denna studie var att belysa och utforska psykologers upplevelser av tidsbegränsad terapi. Tidsbegränsad terapi definieras på så vis att antalet sessioner är begränsade före uppstart av psykologisk behandling. Det övergripande syftet med studien är att belysa olika perspektiv av hur tidsbegränsad terapi påverkar psykologen i sitt arbete och behandling. Fem verksamma psykologer med olika The aim of this study was to explore how psychologists perceive time limited therapy. Time limited therapy is defined as restricting the number of sessions before the beginning of therapeutic treatment. The overall purpose of the study is to shed light on different perspectives in terms of how time limited therapy affects the therapist in their work and the treatment. Five psychologists with diffe
This thesis investigates how low-frequency ultrasound can enhance membrane filtration performance and reduce fouling, one of the most critical limitations of membranes in water treatment technologies. Two types of membranes were studied. Flat-sheet polyethersulfone (PES) membranes, widely used for their mechanical and chemical stability, and electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs) made from styrene
Realistic virtual environments offer valuable applications in rehabilitation, especially for individuals with limited mobility. However, most existing virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation platforms rely on procedurally generated or low-detail natural scenes, often lacking ecological and spatial authenticity. This study proposes a complete and cost-effective workflow that combines unmanned aer
Moral är ett svårdefinierat begrepp, och även ett begrepp som inte förekommer i Lunds universitets programbeskrivning för kandidatprogrammet i sociologi, trots att det ofta är tätt sammanflätat med de frågor som lyfts i programmet. Kravet på värdeneutralitet inom sociologisk forskning växer med tiden, trots att många sociologer uppmärksammar svårigheten i att fullkomligt utesluta moral och värderi
This study compares analytical and numerical models for groundwater modelling. The focus of comparison is to investigate the change of the analytical results when there is only a partial penetration of the aquifer. Two methods of comparison are used, the first one consisting of calculating a radial distance from a shaft to the point where the drawdown is 0.3 meters with both models. The second met
This thesis evaluates the feasibility of arbitrage free autoencoder models for forward curve simulation using European bond data. In the model, an autoencoder is used to learn a low dimensional factor representation of forward curves. The risk neutral evolution of forward curves can be calculated by introducing a stochastic process in this low dimensional latent space. A correction factor is added
