The purpose of this study is to examine the ways in which health care counsellors in psychiatry for adults relate to the requirement of wearing white work clothes and how the white work clothes affect the psychosocial conversation. No previous research has been found on this matter in a Swedish context or for health care counsellors in particular. In this study, seven health care counsellors who w
N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl)-diphenylalanine (Fmoc-FF) is a combination of two phenylalanine amino acids connected by a peptide bond and protected by a Fmoc group. This dipeptide exhibits unique self-assembly properties, forming a variety of structures such as nanofibers, nanotubes, and hydrogels. The aim of this project is to investigate the structure and phase behaviour of self-assembled Fmoc-
This study examines if abnormal return occurs in conjunction with merger announcements in the short-term and compares it with the compounded one-year buy-and-hold abnormal return in the long-interval for European manufacturing firms. In the final sample, the short-term study consisted of 209 firms, while the long-term incorporated 207, both during a sample period of 20 years. In addition, a set of
Leisure reading among young people today is often considered to be under threat from digital activities, especially social media. In the scientific community, this position is disputed with no clear consensus. In order to gain an understanding of adolescents’ own views on the matter, we decided to interview groups of 15- and 16-year-olds in a Swedish public school. We wanted to find out how they d
Aortic valvular disease is a severe ailment that causes great suffering and many deaths worldwide. The exponentially increasing prevalence of the disease has accelerated the demand of a new functioning valve prosthesis. A new approach is to decellularize homograft heart valves, which has demonstrated promising results in clinical trials. The Lung Bioengineering and Regeneration Lab in Lund has dev
Based on a feminist poststructural framework and discursive analytical readings of sexual violence and intersectionality, gender equality in Sweden's self-image and the concept of consent, this thesis examines how gender equality is presented in the legal document that is the basis for the Swedish Consent Act: A new sexual crime legislation based on voluntariness (Prop. 2017/18:177). Through t
Quantum thermodynamics deals with the behavior of thermal machines that operate in the quantum regime, where coherences and entanglement can have a significant impact. However, detecting such quantum effects in thermal machines can be challenging, as they are primarily manifested as fluctuations. This thesis theoretically studies the protocol for the work fluctuation-dissipation relation (FDR) fro
The climate crisis is becoming more and more relevant. New innovative approaches are required to be able to tackle population growth while simultaneously decreasing carbon emission. Innovation has traditionally been associated with the private sector, but more focus is set on the public sector and their responsibility on implementing innovation into the organisation and for enabling it to happen.
The Circular Economy (CE) came into existence due to the increasing environmental concerns produced by the legacy linear economy which consumes too many resources and generates a lot of waste. The CE is initiated on the ideas of reducing, reusing, and recycling resources by utilising the product information. Thus, this study investigates the product information which is to be carried by Digital Pr
Despite the tempting potential for attractive profits presented by a momentum strategy, it encounters two primary challenges. First, there are infrequent, yet significant losses when the market is imposed by high volatility. Second, the strategy incurs high turnover costs due to the constant rebalancing of the portfolio. To mitigate these issues, this paper implements strategies for volatility tim
Private philanthropic foundations can be funded by the wealth of individu-als. These private foundations can focus on a certain region and its eco-nomic development. Existing Economic Geography literature has no de-fined role for such foundations in their frameworks. This empirically driven thesis aims to contribute to closing this research gap by examining the case of the Dieter Schwarz foundatio
Flerplansbilder används för att rendera bilder av 3D scener från nya vyer. I detta arbete gör vi ett djupdyk ner i flerplansbilder för att undersöka hur vi kan justera avståndet mellan lagren, samt dess antal för att rendera bättre bilder och minska deras filstorlek.Image-based rendering for view synthesis is a field within computer vision that has seen a growing number of research activity within the past few years, much due to deep learning techniques emerging, allowing researchers to re-format view synthesis as a learning problem. The multiplane image (MPI) is a recently proposed learning-based layered 3D representation, created from one or a few input ima
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykologers attityd och kunskap avseende transpersoner och icke-binära, samt hur det påverkar bemötande. Med utgångspunkt i binäritet och icke-binäritet studerades detta utifrån ett socialpsykologiskt perspektiv med integrering av genusvetenskaplig teori. Studien var en mixed methods design då den hade både en kvantitativ samt kvalitativ datainsamlings- ocThe aim of this study was to examine the attitude and knowledge of psychologists in regard to transgender and non-binary people, and how it affects their treatment. Based on gender binary and non-binary this was investigated by integrating the main perspective of social psychology with gender studies.

Attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control and their association with the interest in reusable returnable packaging are tested. Additional factors (gender, age, education level, past experience) we
Despite the enormous and ever-increasing amount of photographs, and their importance as historical source material, Sweden has never had any national plan for the preservation of this cultural heritage. And there is not longer any public institution, or institutions, that has a central and advisory role in regards to photography in general. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge
In light of the revised 2019 proposals constituting the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book, which amend the third Basel Accord, expected shortfall is set to replace value at risk as the risk measure dictating banks' capital reserving requirements for exposure to market risk. This paper examines how best to accurately estimate expected shortfall from a regulatory perspective by carrying out
Svenska hästar rankas som bland de bästa i världen och hästnäringen omsätter mer än 72 miljarder kronor per år. Beroende på i vilken roll säljaren agerar så blir olika lagar tillämpliga vid köp av häst. Är säljaren en näringsidkare hamnar man i konsumentköplagen, medan om den är en privatperson så blir köplagen tillämplig. Beroende på vilken lag man hamnar i kan utfallet vid en felbedömning se oliSwedish horses are amongst the top in the world and the revenue of the industry is over 72 billion Swedish crowns per year. Depending on the role the seller is acting as, different laws will apply. If the seller is an entrepreneur, Consumer Sales Act will apply, but if it’s a private person The Sale of Goods act will be applicable.
