Famine has played an essential part in the rise and fall of many civilizations. Yet, many considers the plight of famine a phenomenon of the past, reserved for but the poorest parts of the world. In Europe there are plenty examples of famine and hardship during the 19th century. When the most recent famine in Swedish history struck the area of Småland during the 1860s, the mortality distribution d

The production of plastics has seen incredible growth in recent years. Accordingly, the release of plastic particles (micro and nano) into the environment is also increasing. Information on environmental, biological concentrations, and the fate of nanoplastic (NP) in aquatic environments are scarce. Most in vitro studies have been investigating the effects of NPs at higher exposure concentrations

Personality tests are a common tool in recruitment. A problem that may arise is candidates who adjust their answers in a socially desirable way to improve their chances of employment. The research question of this study was: “How the reporting of personality traits is affected by manipulation of the content of a fictional job advertisement and can this be interpreted as socially desirable respondi

Bakgrund: Moralisk stress infinner sig när en individ vet vad som är moraliskt rätt att göra men hindras av olika anledningar. Fenomenet återfinns i olika kontexter inom sjukvården med varierande intensitet. Etik och moral tillhör sjuksköterskeprofessionen och moraliskt stressande situationer är vanligt förekommande i arbetet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenhe

The aim of this study was to explain how homelessness is depicted in two of Sweden's national newspapers, ETC and Svenska Dagbladet, during Sweden's first period of Covid-19 restrictions, March 11th 2020 to September 29th 2021. The two newspapers were chosen due to the difference between their ideological values, hence another aim became analysing how the depictions differed in these newsp

The aim of this study is to analyze the well-being of social workers in the Swedish Social services. With the point of departure in organizational theory, this study aims to explore how well-being is expressed in the daily work by the social workers themselves. Further, with an in-depth qualitative approach and through semi-structured interviews with seven social workers from the same municipality

The purpose of this study is to find out how teachers in the primary school work for the social situation of autistic school pupils from year 6 to 9. The main focus in this investigation was to study the teacher's own experience on how they contribute to social inclusion and participation of autistic school pupils. We look at existing teaching methods and improvements which the teachers use to

Bakgrund; I princip alla människor kommer någon gång under livet att drabbas av en förlust. Oberoende av arbetsplats kommer sjuksköterskor att stöta på närstående i sorg. Trots detta upplever många sjuksköterskor okunskap och ett obehag inför uppgiften att bemöta sörjande närstående. Syfte; Att belysa sjuksköterskans bemötande gentemot närstående i sorg, orsakat av obotlig sjukdom och död. Metod;

Following the covid-19 pandemic, restrictions have been implemented in many social services in Sweden to reduce the risk of spreading the disease further. These have often included refraining from meeting clients in person and working remotely. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers that work with clients with substance use problems have adapted to these restrictions and how they

The routing of a delivery fleet is a classical optimization problem, known as the vehicle routing problem (VRP), which can heavily impact the quality of a logistic distribution process. Historically, the VRP formulation has mainly included internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). However, due to their reduced environmental impact, the inclusion of electric vehicles (EVs) has become more popula

Effective teaching and its impact on student outcome has been operationalized in previous research through formal measures and external observations, but also through measurements based on teacher self-reports. Thus, although the recipients of teaching are the students themselves, the students’ perceptions of effective teaching and teacher behaviors, and potential links to student academic outcome

Ålabodarna is a community located in the northwestern Skåne north of Landskrona. The small village is surrounded by Glumslöv’s Nature Reserve, which since 1986 has been a protected nature conservation area. The landscape is a rolling agricultural landscape with a cliff coast whose hiking trail is a popular destination for tourists. As the hospitality industry is an important source of income for L

This paper aims to investigate two questions. Firstly, does correct salary information affect the probability of becoming a nurse? Secondly, are individuals affected by a halo effect when determining social status for nurses? I conducted an online experiment with 124 participants from the Department of Economics in Lund and Hedda Andersson High School in Lund. Respondents were treated with informa

I denna uppsats undersöks om rätten till hälsa och rätten till deltagande i fackförening är förenliga inom den svenska modellen för välfärd. Undersökningen utgår från Sverige eftersom jag undersöker två av aktörerna som utgör modellen som beskrivs som unik för just Sverige. Jag använder mig av material från vårdförbundet vilket är ett fackförbund för professioner inom vården samt de lagar som r

Statistik och forskning visar att unga människor väljer bort traditionell journalistik för sociala medier i allt högre utsträckning. Samtidigt står journalistiken inför ständigt nya utmaningar att förhålla sig till i det digitaliserade medieklimatet. Denna studie undersöker unga människors medievanor genom kvalitativa intervjustudier av unga människor om deras attityder till två olika medietexter

Tjugo dagars vila vid infektion för koltrasten Koltrasten är en fågel vi ofta ser året runt, men det är faktiskt en del av populationen som flyttar på vintern under ett år med normal temperatur. Det visar sig att om koltrasten utsätts för en infektion tiden innan den potentiella höstflytten så rör den sig betydligt mindre i upp till tjugo dagar. Vad skulle det egentligen kunna innebära för fågeln

Under de senaste åren, har system vars dynamik sker ur jämvikt fått mycket uppmärksamhet, främst på grund av stora framsteg inom experimentella förverkliganden inom nanosystem som kan utnyttja kvanteffekter, och experimentella verktyg som tillåter mätningar under väldigt korta tidsfönster. I dagens samhälle där vi använder datorer och nanochip, praktiskt taget, överallt är det viktigt att förstå sIn this thesis we employ the non-equilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) method to study both finite and infinite systems. We develop a codebase capable of computing the steady state interacting NEGF in open systems, i.e. tight-binding leads contacting a central region, in both Hartree-Fock (HF) and second Born (2B) approximations of particle-particle interactions. Furthermore, we use the exact intera

I Kristianstad delas staden av järnvägen. På ena sidan finns Kristianstads stadskärna och på andra sidan finns Helge Å och vad som kallas för Vattenriket. På denna sida om järnvägen ligger också Barbackaområdet. Området är trots dess utmärkta läge vid vattnet, bara ett stenkast ifrån viktiga byggnader som Heliga Trefaldighets Kyrka, Kristianstad Station och Naturum, nästan helt outvecklat. Hur kanIn Kristianstad, the city is divided by the railway. On one side is the city centre of Kristianstad and on the other side is Helge Å and what is known as Vattenriket. On this side of the railway is also the Barbacka area, which despite its excellent location by the water, just a stone’s throw from important buildings such as the Holy Trinity Church, Kristianstad Station and Naturum, is almost comp

The Department of Automatic Control at Lund University annually gives a project course in Automatic Control (FRTN40). The course is given at the advanced level (7.5 ECTS credits), and the students work in small teams to achieve a common goal. The projects typically involve a real-world estimation or control problem with relevance to industrial or other applications. In this course, the students ge

Introduktion: Det finns bristande kompetens och kunskap hos sjuksköterskor om ämnet könsstympning. Relaterat till den bristande kunskapen blir det svårt för sjuksköterskor att bemöta kvinnor som utsatts för könsstympning på ett värdigt sätt. Syfte: Beskriva könsstympade kvinnors upplevelser av vårdpersonalens bemötande i västerländsk sjukvård. Metod: En icke-systematisk litteraturstudie. En integ
