The aim of this study was to explore women’s experiences as relatives to one or more individuals with substance abuse (codependency). The method chosen for this study was qualitative interviews with seven different women with experiences of being close to someone with substance abuse. Our empirical material was analysed using both Yvonne Hirdman’s gender theory as well as Arlie Russell Hochschild’

As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configu

When the Covid-19 pandemic struck Sweden elderly became particularly targeted by news media, as early studies indicated a higher risk of death among elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate existing and emerging discourses concerning elderly during the pandemic. The method used was a qualitative study of documents. The empirical data analyzed in this study were 48 articles published on-li

This paper examines the sufficiency of a trading method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of past stock prices. The SVD method is frequently used as a tool to reduce data noise, compress big-data, and analyse data components. Hence, the method is well suited to form a ground for a predictive tool of price developments. From the predicted pattern, a strategy was formed by construction of

Contributing 3% of global annual carbon emissions, the shipping sector has to do its part to keep the global temperature under the maximum increase of 2°C. To fulfil this target, the Netherlands conceived the ‘Green Deal on Maritime and Inland Shipping and Ports’ in 2019. This thesis aims to make a preliminary assessment on the policy’s effectiveness by applying Weber et al.’s environmental pol

Globalisation has expanded investors’ financial reach and while most investments occur without much attention, some lead to disagreements and divergent responses from consumers. Therefore, this paper aims at providing a comprehensive picture of consumers’ responses following investments that become a matter of controversy. This research problem was addressed through the case of Oatly’s consumers’

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagoger beskriver och förhåller sig till utforskande i sin undervisning och hur utforskande tas i uttryck i deras rytmikundervisning. Studien syftar också till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagogerna relaterar lärande till utforskande och vilka faktorer som kan påverkar detta. För studien genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med rytmikpedagoger, viThis study aims to examine how teachers of eurythmics describe and relate to the concept of exploration in their teaching, as well as examine how this exploration takes place in their teaching. The study also examines how teachers relate learning to exploration and what factors may have an impact on this. For the study, five semi-structured interviews were done with eurythmic teachers, who teach a

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) har till viss del ändrat synen på processautomation genom introduktionen av en digital medarbetare som arbetar tillsammans med medarbetarna i verksamheten. Då processautomation ofta har en tendens att uppfattas som något negativt med en stark koppling till effektivisering och nedskärningar tilltar behovet av en strategi för att öka verksamhetens acceptans av implem

Bakgrund: För att en organdonation ska vara möjlig, ska donatorns önskemål vara väldokumenterat eller framfört till närstående om de ställs inför förfrågan. Organ Donor Advocacy är ett fenomen som innefattar att skydda donatorns och dess närståendes vilja och önskemål, samt att de lagar och dokument som gäller följs av alla inblandade. Syfte: Att belysa operationssjuksköterskors erfarenheter av d

Wavelettransformen är ett verktyg inom dataanalys för att analysera signaler såsom EKG:er, ljudinspelningar, temperaturavläsningar eller aktiekurser. Transformen bygger på att man låter en funktion som kallas en wavelet bygga upp ett bibliotek av förflyttningar och utdragningar av sig själv vilket är illustrerat i bilden till höger. Sedan beskrivs signalen som summan av element ur detta bibliotek.In this thesis we consider two notions of mother wavelet uncertainty for the one-dimensional wavelet transform based on a new localization framework recently introduced by Levie and Sochen. It is shown that minimizers of these uncertainties in the space of linear splines with compact support approximate the minimizers in $L^2$ in an appropriate sense, validating numerical schemes for searching for

Astronomernas främsta verktyg har alltid varit ljus. I många tusen år har vi observerat ljuset från stjärnorna med blotta ögat och noterat deras positioner på himlavalvet. Ett av de största genombrotten i astronomi var upptäckten att när ljuset bryts ner i ett spektrum med ett prisma eller ett gitter, och alla färger syns separat, syns det mörka linjer i spektrumet. Varje grundämne har sitt egna kObserving in the infrared has many benefits, such as seeing through the interstellar dust in the galaxy, easier use of adaptive optics, and better flux ratios for direct observations of exoplanets. Before the infrared spectral range can be utilised for highly accurate stellar spectroscopy there is a need for a better understanding of both stellar modelling and the atomic physics that go into formi

The political climate in the Arctic is changing in tandem with the world’s climate. As the ice thaws and leaves a previously frozen sea open, it likewise opens up for new opportunities as estimated abundances of resources become reachable for the first time. The diminishing ice also opens up new water ways for shipping routes and tourism, providing new economic opportunities. This has piqued the i

Social identity theory can be used to analyse group membership, as well as inter and intra relations between the in and out group. In this study, SIT has been used to analyse how a Swedish membership in NATO could affect the Swedish identity. Moreover, SIT has also been combined with fragments from neorealism to better understand how the power balance could change. The study is based on a handful

There is a consensus in previous research that economic sanctions have a low level of effectiveness in reaching objectives. Despite this, economic sanctions are consistently used to reach different international goals. In later years, economic sanctions have become one of the most common actions in response to foreign conflict and terrorism. As prior research has stated that economic sanctions wer

Fermentation is a technique which has been employed for the preservation of food since time immemorial. With a growing population comes the challenge of providing accessible and nutritious food and at the same time adapting a sustainable approach to achieve the desired target. Seaweeds have been utilized as food in the South-Southeast Asian cuisine for a long time in history. However, in the recen

The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate the discourses of gender present in the National Action Plan of Afghanistan (2015-2022), asking how the ‘problem of gender’ is conceptualised and problematised in the policy. This is done through Carol Bacchi’s theoretical and methodological ’What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) – approach which aims to analyse policy through identifying

Urban renewal is a process that every city will inevitably go through, but how to retain the historical values in the renewal? Gaoqiao town is a historical and cultural town in Pudong New Area, Shanghai. The history of houses has more than 80 years old. In 2001, the “One City Nine Towns Development Plan” was introduced in Shanghai. The Pudong New Area government aims to develop Gaoqiao Town into a

Digital technologies and their significance to society have caused their existence and impact to be referred to as entailing a digital revolution. For businesses, digitalization is the use of digital technologies to create new business models and value-adding activities. The use of digital technologies can in turn result in possible improvements in several areas e.g., productivity. The possible ou

The purpose of this study was to examine how individuals with different social identities, guilty of committing terrorist attacks, are framed in the Swedish news media. With regards to the increase in right-wing terrorist attacks, I found that a research aimed at investigating differences in how right-wing terrorists and Islamic-terrorists are represented would be important and interesting. I have
