In this work a strategy for numerical simulation of punching during concurrent pressing of stainless steel sheet metal has been investigated accounting for the stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameter. Modelling of the damage evolution of a sheet metal is a useful tool within the field of engineering and materials science, and can provide useful information regarding material capabilities in a

Syftet med studien var att undersöka upplevelsen av att erfara sexuella biverkningar i samband med antidepressiv läkemedelsbehandling samt vilka strategier personer använder sig av för att hantera dem. Studien syftade även att undersöka hur sexuella skript och normer beskrivs inverka på upplevelsen av att hantera sexuella biverkningar, samt hur vården kan hjälpa denna patientgrupp ytterligare. DatThe aim of this study was to examine the experience of sexual side effects during antidepressant medical treatment and which strategies people use to cope with them. The study also aimed to explore how sexual scripts and norms are described as affecting the experience of coping with sexual side effects, and how health care can further support this group of patients.

Uppsatsen kommer fram till att det råder ett statistiskt signifikant samband mellan E-betyget och G-betyget med det marknadsbaserade prestationsmåttet Tobin's Q. Däremot råder inget statistiskt signifikant samband mellan någon ESG-variabel och det redovisningsbaserade prestationsmåttet ROA. Studien indikerar på att det kan vara lönsamt för företag att ägna sig åt miljöarbete utifrån prestation

Under de senaste åren har allt fler forskare intresserat sig för förklaringar och orsaker till högerpopulismens framväxt. Olika förklaringar har ofta grundat sig på en dikotomi mellan kulturella värderingar och ekonomisk marginalisering. Nyligen har även teorier som argumenterar för en förmodad koppling mellan meritokrati och populism växt fram, där status varit en sammanbindande länk. Denna uppsa

I Västra Götalandsregionen är riskerna till följd av klimatförändringen allvarliga och därför är det avgörande med en ökad takt av kommunala klimatanpassningsåtgärder som kan möta klimatförändringarnas effekter. Detta aktualiserar en diskussion om styrmedel för att stimulera ökad klimatanpassning. Genom att intervjua 13 tjänstemän i 11 kommuner i regionen kartlägger denna studie förutsättningar föIn the Swedish region of Västra Götaland, the risks induced by climate change are severe and the increased pace of municipal climate adaptation measures is paramount to meet the effects of climate change. This actualizes a discussion about policy instruments to incentivize increased climate change adaptation. By interviewing 13 civil servants in 11 municipalities in the region, this study maps the

Forskning tyder på att jurister löper ökad risk att utveckla arbetsrelaterad ohälsa i form av utbrändhet, arbetsrelaterad stress och psykiskt lidande. Viss forskning pekar även på att arbetskrav inom branschen kan påverka manliga respektive kvinnliga jurister på olika sätt. Syftet med litteraturöversikten bestod i att systematiskt granska aktuell forskning, genomförd mellan 2012-2022, avseende vilResearch indicates that lawyers suffer a great risk of developing symptoms of burnout, work-related stress, and psychological distress. The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate research, conducted between 2012-2022, regarding factors contributing to burnout, work-related stress and psychological distress among lawyers. The study also aimed to examine whether it was feasible to d

Domedagsklockan klämtar alltjämt ljudligt för planeten. Vi står inför flera globala, nationella och lokala miljöutmaningar som kan komma att påverka framtida generationer på ödesdigra sätt. Hur individer och organisationer arbetar med dessa frågor kan vara avgörande för samhällets framtida fortlevnad. Ekonomiskt stöd till en mångfald av externa projekt kan vara ett sätt att låta gräsrötter växa tiSociety is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi

This master thesis examines virtual space, its requirements, functions and considerations. Virtual reality will not only improve the architect’s design process, but also the way our physical world is built. Metaverse is referred to as the future of the internet, a virtual world where users will be able to work, play, meet and socialize together in three dimensional spaces.The digitalisation of wor

Though opera is not a widely popular art form and though the construction of an opera house has few economic incentives the typology is far from dying. The opera house has somehow found its raison d’etre in other ways, mostly through its role as a symbol for a city or the state. To understand the role that the opera house plays in a city this thesis explores the typology and how architecture in th

In the last thirty years, the field of education and educational policymaking has become increasingly internationalized. Consequently, more actors, especially actors beyond the national level have become interested and involved in educational policymaking. International Organizations (IOs) in particular have become prominent in the educational sphere and their role in affecting and defining educat

Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes

Insurance companies utilize various methods for identifying claims that are of potential fraudulent nature. With the ever progressing field of artificial intelligence and machine learning models, great interest can be found within the industry to evaluate the use of new methods that may arise as a result of new advanced models in combination with the rich data that is being gathered. For this end,

Due to environmental considerations, volumes of renewable power production are rapidly growing, and its share of the energy pool is increasing. The inter- mittent nature of wind power, being one of the main renewable energy sources, is a challenge when generating production forecasts. Accurate forecasts are nec- essary for the electrical grid to be kept in balance as the development of wind power

Thailand is facing with various extreme climate events from flood to drought. As a result of climate change, these events tend to increase in frequency and intensity. The existing water infrastructures and management is showing sign of fragility and incapable of dealing with these challenges. To increase adaptive capacity and tackle current water resource challenges, water management agencies in T

Language is a protected ground for discrimination internationally, but not in Sweden, although minority politics recognize language as a human right. This thesis focuses on Swedish Finns, one of Sweden's national minorities. As minority rights exist internationally, nationally, and locally, this thesis will analyze official documents from the Council of Europe, the Swedish state, and the Equal

The 2018 Farm Bill federally legalized industrial hemp in the United States following four years of state and tribal pilot programs. Industry actors have since been building a hemp industry from the ground up and have been met with many trials and tribulations that have been due to red tape policies, a lack of infrastructure, and broken supply chains. The weakest point in the supply chain is the p

Att pesticider används som ett skydd i jordbruket är ingen nyhet, och är en nödvändighet för att skydda odlingarna från diverse insekter, ogräs och mögel. Jord är en komplex matris, och leder till olika upptagningsförmågor av just dessa besprutningar. Ett löpande problem är avsaknaden av instrument där halter av pesticider kan mätas med hög noggrannhet, även vid låga koncentrationer vid analys. MeA cleanup step is essential from an analytical perspective, to improve the chance of quantification and to minimize interference. Pesticides in soil are a necessity is agriculture for survival of crops and protection from unwanted growth and pests. However, an ongoing problem is the lack of instruments where levels of pesticides can be measured with high accuracy, even at low concentrations during
