Using methods of smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) an N -body simulation was set-up to investigate stellar encounters between a 1 solar-mass main sequence (MS) star, modeled after the Sun, and a 0.6 solar-mass white dwarf (WD). This was done primarily to investigate the assumptions made by Mastrobuono-Battisti et al. (2021) in search of the impact of stellar encounters on stellar population in
The fountain of Anna Perenna and her nymphs was discovered in an excavation around twenty years ago in northern Rome and its cistern was found to house both religious votives and magical objects, such as curse tablets (defixiones). Thus, this water shrine constitutes a unique setting for magical practices, magicae artes, in the city of Rome and ancient Italia, which this essay aims to further exam
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka upplevelsen hos deltagare med spindelrädsla som deltagit i Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) för spindelrädsla. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes vid uppföljning en vecka efter behandling med nio deltagare. Det samlade materialet analyserades med tematisk analys vilket ledde till tre huvudteman och fem underteman. De tre huvudtemana var RThe aim of this study was to explore the experiences of participants with fear of spiders who underwent Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) for fear of spiders. Semi-structured interviews were conducted one week after VRET with nine participants. The collected material was analyzed using thematic analysis which led to the identification of three main themes and five subthemes. The themes were:
This essay aims to detect spatial autocorrelation present in the EKC relationship, as well as to find empirical evidence of said relationship. A panel data of 176 countries for the period 1990-2018 is used for the empirical part. Several spatial models are considered in this essay, namely the SDM, SAR model, SAC model and SEM. The main conclusions are: (i) there exists significant spatial autocorr
Självmord är ett stigmatiserat ämne som det inte pratas så mycket om i samhället. Samtidigt är det många som lider av psykisk ohälsa och ser självmord som den enda utvägen. Varje år dör cirka 1500 personer i självmord i Sverige. Förhoppningen med denna studie är att lyfta fram suicidala personers röster för att visa att vi behöver lyssna på deras upplevelser av psykisk ohälsa om vi vill sträva eftSuicide is a stigmatized subject that we, as a society, do not talk much about. Simultaneously, there are many people suffering from mental illness who think of suicide as the only way out. Every year around 1500 people die from suicide in Sweden. The aim of this study is to highlight suicidal people’s voices, in order to demonstrate that we need to listen to them if we want to achieve a decrease
Evacuation flow through connections such as doorways and staircases is a subject that has been studied and documented for decades. Evacuation flow through windows however is a subject that has been studied to a much lesser extent. Swedish regulation allows windows to be used as an evacuation route, but little is known about what flow can be expected through such an opening. Given peoples unfamilia
This study has sought to propose didactical approaches to find a balance between the teaching of classic and contemporary literature in the Swedish EFL classroom by exploring and comparing the attitudes of Swedish upper secondary school teachers and students towards both forms of literature. The study was conducted through two quantitative questionnaires, one researching the attitudes of 44 EFL st
Bakgrund: Kreativa aktiviteter som arbetsterapeutisk intervention kan användas hos patienter som haft stroke med syfte att förbättra deras fysiska förmåga men också för att minska psykisk ohälsa som ofta uppstår i samband med stroke. De vanligaste psykiska sjukdomar som drabbar strokepatienter är depression, ångest, fatigue och kognitiva nedsättningar. Minskad självständighet i dagliga aktiviBackground: Creative activities as an occupational therapy intervention can be used on patients who’ve had a stroke to improve their physical abilities but also to reduce mental illness that often arises with stroke. The most common mental diseases that affect stroke patients are depression, anxiety, fatigue and cognitive impairments. Decreased independence in daily activities that occurs aft
The purpose of this report was to compile the current knowledge regarding design and function of evacuation signage and evacuation lighting in road and railway tunnels. Another purpose was to shed light on any issues in the aforementioned regulations and standards. This was done by conducting two study visits, a literature review, an interview study and an analysis. To ensure that evacuation is i
Predictive archaeological modelling is a complex analytical process that requires the understanding of how complex environmental and anthropogenic spatial phenomena relate to the selection of archaeological site location and knowledge of the requirements and potential biases inherent in the method of modelling and the raw data itself. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of the weights of ev
This thesis tries to answer how acts of homemaking can manifest with regard to four young adults in an urban environment. The paper takes a closer look at how the material takes form to create meaningful and concrete ways of navigating an uncertain landscape of adulthood in Stockholm, Sweden. Through the understandings of material culture made possible by Daniel Miller, Anat Hecht, Bodil Birkebæk
Blood tests are an important part of modern medicine, and are essentially always stained using chemical colorization methods before analysis by computational or manual methods. The staining process allows different parts of blood cells to be discerned that would be unnoticeable in unstained blood. However, this process is complicated to perform correctly and often takes much time. It often require
Though the Treasury stated that leaving the EU would lead to high economic costs for the UK, people still voted to leave. Since the referendum was held, many researchers have tried to explain what factors influenced the outcome of the vote. The aim of this dissertation is to further contribute to the existing research. This will be done by analysing variables based on demographic, as well as econ
MÅL. För att svara på hur psykodynamisk psykoterapi av posttraumatiskt stressyndrom upplevdes bland flyktingar analyserades och jämfördes deras erfarenheter av grupp- och individuell psykoterapi. METOD. 10 tidigare patienter från en öppenvårdsmottagning specialiserad på behandling av patienter med erfarenheter av migration, krig och tortyr rekryterades till studien. 5 patienter hade gått i psykoanOBJECTIVE.

Den 1 juni 2016 införde Finansinspektionen ett amorteringskrav i Sverige med målsättningen att bromsa skuldsättningen för svenska hushåll och än idag är effekterna av amorteringskravet ett väl omdiskuterat ämne bland forskare. Denna studie undersöker de effekter som amorteringskravet haft på bostadsrättspriserna i Malmö kommun, för att sedan särskilja på om effekterna ter sig olika beroende på om

Sexual violence is ubiquitous. It occurs everywhere. Due to the very nature of sex crimes, however, victim-survivors from sexual violence are much more vulnerable from ‘secondary victimization’ which is also known as ‘post crime victimization’ or ‘double victimization.’ Given that people get common knowledge on human rights issues from newspapers, in particular online articles today, I focused on
