The aim of this study is to create an understanding of how professionals experience the collaboration between social services and school functions in regard to pupils that have problematic school absenteeism. The study focuses on a social services office and two schools in a small town in Södermanland, Sweden. The method was qualitative and based on six semi-structured interviews with social worke

Investeringsstödet, eller Förordning om statligt investeringsstöd för hyresbostäder och bostäder för studerande (SFS 2016:881), är ett långsiktigt stöd som syftar till att få lönsamma och långsiktigt hållbara investeringar mot främst en lägre hyra hålls under 15 år. Att veta hur stödet värderas är viktigt sett ur, bland annat, fastighetsvärderares och investerares perspektiv. Detta för att kunna vThe Swedish legislation, SFS 2016:881, provides investment support for rental properties. It is a long-term support aimed to achieve profitable and sustainable investments, primarily for a lower rent over 15 years. It is important to understand how the investment support is appraised from the perspective of appraisers and investors. This is to set the value correctly and to make profitable investm

Climate change and environmental awareness have been a focus topic in the past years due to the increase of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere. A significant part of the problem is the greenhouse gas emissions caused by the construction industry, whether in the early stages of construction or over the life of a building. In order to reduce human impact, several actors in the building and const

Det akuta behovet av att mildra klimatförändringarna har lett till utvecklingen av strategier för att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser. Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) har vuxit fram som en lovande teknik som inte bara syftar till att fånga upp koldioxidutsläpp (CO2) utan också använder den infångade koldioxide för att skapa produkter, och därigenom tillhandahålla en potentiell väg mot hållbaThe urgent need to mitigate climate change has prompted researchers to investigate novel strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. One promising technology that might ease the way for sustainable and circular economies is carbon capture and utilization (CCU), which not only captures CO2 emissions but also uses them to produce valuable products. This thesis investigates the potential of CCU i

Tonkilometermetoden används för beräkning av andelstal för enskilda vägar som är gemensamhetsanläggningar. Den trafikmängd som olika fastighetstyper genererar återspeglas i vissa framtagna schablonvärden. Eftersom det saknas framtagna schablonvärden för specialfastigheter såsom vindkraftverk och vattenkraftverk har jag genom detta examensarbete undersökt möjligheten att ta fram schablonvärden för The ton kilometer method is used to calculate participatory shares for private roads which is joint facility. The amount of traffic that different property types generate is reflected in certain produced templates. Because there are no templates for special properties such as wind turbines and hydroelectric plants I have investigated if it is possible to produce these types of values. I have also

Varje år dör 1,3 miljoner människor i bilolyckor. Självkörande bilar tros kunna bidra till att antalet trafikolyckor minskar samt blir mindre allvarliga då en bil genererar konstant vaksamhet samt en bättre reaktionstid i förhållande till människor. Även trafik ska kunna påverkas till det bättre då mänskliga misstag som exempelvis plötsligt bromsande eller felaktiga filbyten kan leda till köbildniThe interest in autonomous driving has vastly increased, leading to a surge in research and development efforts over the past decades. This technology could enhance road safety, alleviate traffic congestion, and yield numerous environmental and economic benefits. A fundamental prerequisite to developing and integrating autonomous driving is to obtain information about the surrounding environment,

The market for luxury fashion brands has been expanding rapidly since 1990 and continues to do so even today as young adults consume more luxury fashion goods. The growth in terms of consumption can be affected by different factors, like digitalisation and the use of social media, globalisation, preference and pressure to follow trends and idols etc. However, the factors that affect the buying int

In Sweden, the demand on the electrical grid is increasing with the shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. It is thereby important to optimize the charging stations for electrical vehicles connected to the grid. These charging stations can also include local energy generation and storage, which help decrease the demand on the grid, while supporting the charging of vehicles connected.

We fix a minor glitch in a proof recently stated by Ameur. The result shows that the Coulomb gas is well localized to the vicinity of the “droplet”, created by the external field, which is described in terms of classical potential theory (“Frostman’s theorem”). For this reason, the result was termed “Localization theorem” in [1].

Urban last mile delivery has become an increasingly relevant topic in this day and age, where the urban population is growing at the same time as climate change forces nations to limit emissions. The demand for fast and flexible deliveries in urban areas accelerates, which further escalates the need to optimize these last mile deliveries since they are the most polluting part of the supply chain.

Climate change is one of the global problems that the world is facing today. Previous studies have shown that climate change has negatively affected the livelihoods of the vulnerable population. However, understanding climate change is usually influenced by how it affects a person’s livelihood. For agriculture-dependent communities, it has been documented that climate change includes rainfall vari

Attacks of mass-harm perpetrated by lone actor terrorists, also known as lone wolves which they are called in this study, have been increasing in the last few decades and has become one of the main national security threats in Sweden. With the increase in attacks, so has the research on this type of terrorism, looking at ideological reasons, target selection and the radicalisation process as well

This paper presents a comprehensive cross-functional analysis of machining operations for ductile cast iron components in the automotive industry, focusing on the problem of chip carryover and its impact on downstream processes. The research aims to understand the role of machining and identify the source of the issue, by analyzing different machining sequences and the chips that affect the final

Rationale: Galectin-3 (Gal-3) drives fibrosis during chronic lung injury, however, its role in acute lung injury (ALI) remains unknown. Effective pharmacological therapies available for ALI are limited; identifying novel concepts in treatment is essential. GB0139 is a Gal-3 inhibitor currently under clinical investigation for the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. We investigate the role

Diverse approaches such as oscillating gradients, tensor-valued encoding, and diffusion-relaxation correlation have been used to study microstructure and heterogeneity in healthy and pathological biological tissues. Recently, acquisition schemes with free gradient waveforms exploring both the frequency-dependent and tensorial aspects of the encoding spectrum b(ω) have enabled estimation of nonpara

This study explores the experiences of Swedish upper secondary school chemistry students working with a socioscientific issue about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in everyday products, and how they perceive that this teaching has influenced them in their role as citizens in a democratic society. Data collection has been carried out on several occasions over a period of one and a half y

Azo dyes are recalcitrant organic pollutants present in textile industry effluents. Conventional treatment methods to remove them come with a range of disadvantages. Nanoparticles and their nanocomposites offer more efficient, less expensive and easy to handle wastewater treatment alternative. Methods. In this study, nanoparticles of nickel oxide (NiO-NPs), copper oxide (CuO-NPs) and their nanocom
