The rise of Iron Age central places has become a complex debate. Traditionally, central places have been described as places of power, serving multiple public functions – political, economical, and religious, to name a few – at a regional or supra-regional level. Few researchers have further nuanced or challenged the concept, and therefore, the complexities of central places have often been undere

This thesis presents an iconographical and comparative study of the “fishing Erotes” motif in Roman mosaics. Previous scholars have overlooked this scene despite its prevalence, and it has not been subjected to a comprehensive investigation. A selection of 15 mosaics from several Mediterranean locations were analyzed using the semiotic model as a theoretical framework and a qualitative approach. T

The presence of a neutron halo in 15C has been demonstrated in several reaction experiments at intermediate energies. In the present study, the dynamical effects of this structure are observed for the first time at Coulomb barrier energies in the 15C + 208Pb quasi-elastic scattering at MeV, measured at the HIE-ISOLDE facility, CERN using the high-granularity detector array GLORIA. A combined conti

Den här studien var en del av forskningsprojektet “Bemötandebrister i vuxenpsykiatrisk vård” vid Lunds universitet. Frågeställningen var “Vilken bild har representanter för patient- och anhörigorganisationer av bemötandebrister i svensk vuxenpsykiatri, baserat på medlemmarnas erfarenheter?”. Två fokusgrupper, med sju representanter för olika svenska patient- och anhörigorganisationer, genomfördes.This study was part of the research project “Violations* in adult psychiatric care” at Lund University. The research question was “What is the view, held by patient organizations, of violations* within Swedish adult psychiatry, based on their members’ experiences?”. Two focus groups were conducted with a total number of seven representatives from different Swedish patients’ organizations. The data

“Hela livet kopplar ju ner” - En reflexiv tematisk analys av mammors erfarenheter av att ha ett barn med postinfektiöst tillstånd Föräldrar med långvarigt sjuka barn uppvisar sämre psykisk hälsa och större risk för utmattning än föräldrar med friska barn, däremot saknas kunskap om erfarenheter hos föräldrar till barn med postinfektiösa tillstånd som postcovid, myalgisk encefalomyelit/’chronic fat“Life comes to a halt” A reflexive thematic analysis of mothers’ experiences of having a child with post-infectious syndrome Parents with chronically ill children exhibit worse mental health and greater risk för burnout than parents with healthy children, however there is lacking knowledge of experiences of parents to children with post-infectious syndrome such as post covid, myalgic encephalomye

Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsaResearch shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy wor

Throughout the past, cities have been designed so that cars have become the centre of the streetscape, and pedestrians have come second. This led to wide streets, street parking, and smaller city sidewalks. However, pedestrians are the ones who bring life and movement to a street or square. Currently, more municipalities want to shift their focus to the centre of their cities and reduce access (d‘

The construction sector is responsible for around 40 % of all generated waste in Sweden and is also responsible for around 21-22 % of all carbon emissions. In a sector that is responsible for a substantial part of Sweden’s climate footprint, it’s important to find solutions to the negative effects towards the climate. Much of the generated waste comes from building and demolition waste which ends

The purpose of this study was to analyze how people in leadership positions perceive the impact of client-centered work on employees’ well-being at SiS residential homes, which are operated by the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care, and to further investigate how managers work preventively for the employees’ health. The study was based on eight semi-structured interviews with questions r

Bakgrund: För att nå samhällets satta klimatmål behöver energiförbrukningen sänkas. Målet genererar ett behov att utforska nya energieffektivare ventilationslösningar. Ett alternativ är att använda markförlagd ventilation som är en mer etablerad teknik i varmare klimat och nyttan med ett sådant system i svenskt klimat behöver därför undersökas. Systemets fördelar och problematik behöver utredas saOur society needs to lower emissions and energy consumption to reach the global climate goals. One way to regulate the energy consumption in buildings is by improving HVAC installations, which makes it relevant to find new ventilation solutions with a low climate footprint. A solution frequently used in hotter climates but relatively new in Sweden is EAHE-systems (Earth-Air Heat exchangers). This

The legal case known as “Lilla hjärtat” became a widely discussed case in Sweden, where the debate about the best interest of the child was reborn. The case later led to the change in the law we know today as “lex Lilla hjärtat”. However, it has been revealed in new inspections that there are still faults regarding the child rights perspective in child protective work. The aim of the study was the

I dagens globala samhälle finns en växande efterfrågan på trådlös kommunikation. För att möta denna efterfrågan behöver kommunikationssystemen utvecklas, till exempel genom att använda högre frekvenser som i 5G, öka antalet användare som kan använda systemet samtidigt eller använda större antennsystem. Detta ökar dock risken för störningar mellan användares kommunikationslänkar, vilket leder till As two signals of different frequencies pass through a nonlinear element, they mix and create unwanted spurious signals. This intermodulation phenomenon is well studied for active components but can also occur from the material in passive components and is then called passive intermodulation (PIM). The PIM energy levels are a concern when designing communication technology, especially satellites,

I takt med att personer med funktionsnedsättningar och variationer ökar blir tillgänglighet i digitala system och miljöer allt viktigare. Lagen om tillgänglighet till digital offentlig service trädde i kraft 2019 och ställer tillgänglighetskrav på informationssystem och digitala tjänster inom den offentliga sektorn. Långt ifrån alla myndigheter och offentliga institutioner lever upp till dessa kra
