I use a difference-in-difference strateg

"Vem är jag utan musiken liksom?" - En studie om hur gymnasieelever, med klassisk musik som inriktning eller fördjupning, resonerar gällande fortsatta musikstudier.

Syftet med studien är att öka kunskaperna om hur elever, som har valt att gå gymnasieprogram med klassisk musik som inriktning eller fördjupning, resonerar kring sina framtida yrkesval. Studien syftar även till att kartlägga de uppfattningar om musicerande och yrkesval som eleverna ger uttryck för under gymnasietiden samt undersöka vilka faktorer som har bidragit till deras fortsatta musicerande. This study aims to deepen the knowledge of how students reflect on their future career choices. The students all attend a high school program with special focus on classical music on an intermediate or advanced level. The purpose of this study is also to map the opinions of the students concerning musicianship and career choices, as well as determine which factors have contributed to them continui

Sjuksköterskans ledarroll i psykiatrisk slutenvård-en intervjustudie

Sammanfattning Introduktion: Studier som författarna tagit del av visar att bristande kommunikation med uteblivet ledarskap som följd legat bakom flera situationer som lett till risk för eller faktiska vårdskador. Till stor del har de studier som hittats som beskriver sjuksköterskans ledarroll utförts i somatisk vård, varför författarna såg en kunskapslucka i psykiatrisk omvårdnad. Bakgrund: För

Processes of lateral moraine formation at a debris-covered glacier, Suldenferner (Vedretta di Solda), Italy

Lateralmoräner är karaktäristiska för glaciala landskap bildade i höga bergsområden med dalglaciärer. Forskningen om lateralmoräners bildning är dock ofta begränsatsade till glaciärisar med lågt materialinnehåll. När lateralmoräner bildas längs kanten av materialrika glaciärer, med det glaciala materialet i sin senare fas huvudsakligen transporterat över glaciärens yta tillkommer sedimentationsproLateral moraines are key features of glacial landscapes in high-alpine mountain areas. Research on lateral moraine formation is mostly limited to clean-ice glaciers; lateral moraine formation at the margins of debris-covered glaciers is currently poorly understood in an Alpine and sedimentological context. This thesis focuses on the reconstruction of processes of lateral moraine formation at the d

A European Perspective of Better Economic Integration without Treaty Arbitration

For the last two decades, international investment arbitration has been the most effective and reliable mechanism utilised by investors as a shield under the international protection against excessive states’ intervention. Acknowledging the significance of preserving a safe environment for conducting investments as well as promoting foreign direct investment was the leading element in the process

Acrylamide in Ready-to-Eat Potato Products

The formation of the suspected carcinogenic compound acrylamide has become a noticed problem in the heat processing of several types of carbohydrate rich food items. The European Union is currently working to mitigate these levels, where one strategy is to implement a new regulation with benchmark levels for acrylamide in different products. The regulation also includes recommendations on how to r

Mobile Finance and Financial Risk A Study of Mobile Financial Services, its Value Model and the Distribution of Risk

The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mobile financial services on the behavior of young adults on the financial market, particularly how mobile financial services effect the distribution of risk amongst consumers. The risk examined are twofold; how the risk of a financial transaction looks like for both the consumer of the financial instrument and the distributor (Avanza) and how

Livet som behovsanställd - En kvalitativ intervjustudie om behovsanställdas upplevelser inom vård- och omsorgssektorn

Den moderna globaliserade arbetsmarknaden kännetecknas av att anställningsförhållandena blivit tillfälliga och flexibla. Konsekvenserna av de nya anställningsförhållandena är ämnet för denna studie. Syftet med studien har varit att få en djupgående förståelse av unga kvinnors upplevelser som behovsanställda inom vård- och omsorg och anställningsformens effekt på deras upplevelser av arbets- och li

Optimizing the sealing of tubular heating elements

Tubular heating elements, produced by Backer AB are today commonly used, serving as systems for intelligent heating in automotive, medical and household industries. Tubular heating element consists of a mantle, resistance wire, electrical insulation (magnesium oxide) and a sealing. When active, an electric current transfers heat from the resistance wire of the heating element to the surroundings w

The effects of T cell activation on hematopoiesis and myeloid cells in atherosclerosis

Another link in the immune cell chain Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the western world. The main cause of CVD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the major arteries. Atherosclerosis can be described as by a build up of plaque in medium to large arteries. Clinical complications, such as heart attack and stroke, occur when plaques rupture and form

Bridging the circularity gap in the LDPE value chain: A Tetra Pak and PolyPlank case study in Sweden

The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i

Drama som verktyg vid behandling av psykisk ohälsa - patienters upplevelser.

Abstrakt Introduktion: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande problem i dagens samhälle. Personer som är drabbade hamnar inte sällan i social isolering, svårigheter att bibehålla arbete och/eller relationer med andra människor. Sedvanlig behandling består till största delen av medicinsk behandling, ECT och samtal. Drama kan vara en kompletterande metod att behandla individer som upplever svårigheter i att

The Pier

Today, in a digital era where people can do their everyday tasks from home, the city as a social platform faces new challenges. Individuals no longer need to run errands around the city, which, until now, has been the standard way of city life. The comfort of today’s modern world impacts not only the private but also the public life of cities. The urban dynamics of city life are likely to be reduc

Memory Integration in a Real-World Setting

A fundamental component of episodic memories, allowing for their vividness and detail in recollection, is the visual context accompanying it. At times, it has been found that such memories may bind with one another. In such memory integration, the visual context accompanying the integrated events, may been found to be a key component. Yet, though the importance of context on episodic memories has

Lateral stabilisation in multi-storey timber volume element buildings

Det ökade användandet av träbaserade volymelement i flerfamiljshus kräver effektiva och detaljerade beräkningsmetoder. Numeriska modeller av volymelementen ger stora fördelar med avseende på analys av stabilitet mot vindlaster genom möjligheten att beakta hela den tredimensionella konstruktionens styvhet.The use of timber volume elements (TVEs) in residential multi-storey buildings is increasing in popularity. Manufacturing methods and building processes have been streamlined to improve product quality. However, further streamlining still remains concerning the efficiency of current calculation methods, as many developers still use simple hand calculations. The objective with this dissertation was

Possibilities of solar energy and heat recovery in Spanish housing

The present thesis is an investigation about the analysis and study of what is the best way to obtain greater savings of heat principally from the reuse of Drain Hot Water (DWH). The study is carried out through the hypothetical application of one of these heat reuse systems and the installation of renewable solar system to reduce the electricity consume in a single-family house of 300 m2 located

Vägen till en rätt normaliserad byggnad - En studie av två normaliseringsmetoder för fastställande av en byggnads energianvändning

Normalisering av en byggnads energianvändning med avseende på verksamhetstypen (brukarnas energibruk) och klimat genomförs för att byggnadens energiprestanda ska vara jämförbar med andra byggnader samt för att verifiera att ställda energikrav uppfylls. Metoder för normalisering utarbetades som följd av införandet av Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2010/31/EU av den 19 maj 2010 om byggnaders
