This study aims to explore how professionals working with preventive social work reason regarding the understanding of the term preventive social work. Furthermore, the study looked into how current discourses were presented by the social workers. In addition, we also aimed to explore the potential benefits and challenges associated with preventive social work. This was examined in light of the ne
Albert Einstein revolutionerade mänsklighetens förståelse av universum när han 1915 skapade den allmänna relativitetsteorin som kombinerar de rumsliga dimensionerna med tiden till en dynamisk rumtid. Massiva objekt kröker rumtiden omkring sig själva, precis som du tynger ner en studsmatta när du står i mitten. Isaac Newton beskrev tidigare gravitationen som en kraft, men Einstein menade att gravitIn this thesis, the collapse of dust in a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous universe is studied. This is done using the well-known Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi model for a pressureless perfect fluid. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the solutions to the field equations and the Misner-Sharp equation of motion, and some initial conditions are assumed in order to fix remaining degrees of fre
Psykisk ohälsa har under flera årtionden präglat samhället på många olika sätt. I en rapport gjord av BRÅ (2020) visades det att i relation till dödligt våld är det fyra av tio gärningspersoner som haft kontakt med psykiatrisk vård ett år innan de begått ett brott i Sverige. Flera studier utomlands har beskrivit psykisk ohälsa i relation till våld och hur det hanteras och förebyggs, men i Sverige
Physics-informed neural networks integrate physical laws into machine learning models to solve differential equations. This thesis investigates an inverse physics-informed neural network framework for estimating viscosity in Tetra Pak’s injection molding process, where direct measurements are not possible. By enforcing the Navier-Stokes equations and using sparse velocity and pressure data, a virt
Forskningsfråga: Hur uppfattar unga vuxna en normbrytande tonalitet ifrån varumärken på sociala medier? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förstå hur kommunikationen uppfattas och vilka reaktioner unga vuxna får, samt vilka följder som konsumtion och image det får. Metod: Kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med unga vuxna (18-25 år), kompletterad med utvalda inlägg från DuolingResearch question: How do young adults perceive a norm-breaking tone of voice from brands on social media? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to understand how the communication is perceived, what reactions it evokes from young adults, as well as what consequences it has for consumption and brand image. Methodology: A qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interviews with young adul
The empirical prediction of outcomes in competitive sports, particularly basketball, remains a complex challenge due to inherent game variability and the difficulty in discerning replicable strategic adaptations from random fluctuations, especially in the case of unexpected results ("upsets"). This thesis addresses this by introducing and evaluating novel features designed to enhance the
In today's day and age, the media has grown to become a central part of our lives. People can now communicate anonymously and without any boundaries. Though this opens many opportunities, it can additionally contribute to an online climate that results in various problematic outcomes, one being violence against women. Online forums are one arena where users can anonymously discuss subjects tha
This study investigated the relationship between cognitive load, emotional arousal, and gaze aversion using a within subject eye tracking design. 22 participants completed a dual-task paradigm involving a modified Sternberg memory task of varying difficulty while viewing different levels of arousing images from the IAPS database. Gaze aversion, the behavior of looking away from a stimulus, was ope
This study investigated the sustainable extraction of protein from field cress (Lepidium Cam-pestre) press cake, an underutilized by-product of oil extraction from a novel oilseed crop, which is currently being domesticated in Sweden. Field cress is recognized for its resilience in Nordic climates and its potential as a source of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), yet the protein and fibre-rich cake
This thesis investigates the current state and future potential of Kenya’s bags and sacks packaging industry, with a focus on transitioning toward more sustainable practices. Despite policy efforts like the 2017 single-use plastic bag ban, the industry faces structural and economic barriers to adopting sustainable alternatives. The aim of this study is to assess macro- and micro-level factors shap
The purpose of this study was to understand how field workers in social services work on drug prevention efforts with young people and how they cooperated with other actors in this work. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with five field workers from different parts of Sweden, all of whom work with youth. The theoretical approaches used to analyze the material were learning theory a
Användningen av generativ artificiell intelligens (AI) har ökat markant bland universitetsstudenter, men dess påverkan på studenternas självständighet och lärande är ännu inte fullt förstådd. Denna uppsats undersöker hur informatikstudenter använder generativ AI i sina studier, vilka fördelar och risker de upplever, samt hur transparenta de är i sin användning gentemot sitt lärosäte. Studien bygge
This paper examines the impact of the 2022 Russian airspace closure on bilateral trade flows between four Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark) and two East Asian economies (Japan and South Korea). By employing a novel approach combining Coarsened Exact Matching with the Synthetic Control Method, a synthetic control unit is constructed for each of the sixteen country-pairs, allow
PFAS are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that are widely used in both industrial applications and consumer products. PFAS are commonly detected in the environment and pose health concerns. Adsorption by GAC is considered an effective treatment method for removing PFAS from water. After a certain period of operation, GAC requires high-temperature incineration as disposal method. Another
Agility has emerged as a strategic ideal across many sectors, especially within financial institutions facing heightened pressure to respond swiftly to technological disruption, regulatory shifts, and market volatility. While commonly positioned as a solution to organizational inertia, agility is often promoted through leadership programs and strategic narratives that assume a shared understanding
The importance of a company’s go-to-market strategy when launching a new product cannot be stressed enough, a field that is highly researched. But what happens when a product enters a market, fails and an attempt to re-launch it is being made? Re-entry theory is a subdivision of go-to-market theory that although highly important, little research and few theories can be found, creating a gap and a
This thesis examines whether corporate green bond issuance leads to measurable improvements in environmental performance among European firms in high-emitting sectors. Using firm-level panel data from 2015–2022, we match green bond issuers with conventional bond issuers using nearest-neighbour matching with Mahalanobis distance. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we analyse changes in
In response to the emergency of climate change, green growth has emerged as an attractive pathway towards sustainable development. The environmental feasibility and economic consequences of green growth is a much debated topic among scholars. This thesis provides a panel data analysis of the relationship between green growth and economic performance in the industrial economies of Germany and Czech
Consumer choices around plant-based diets are increasingly shaped by political values, yet most research has focused on health, environmental, or economic motives, largely overlooking the role of ideology. While political ideology and political consumerism is well-documented in European contexts, there is limited understanding of how broader ideological orientations influence sustainable food beha
Finished Goods Distribution Network (FGDN) design is an important aspect of Supply Chain Management (SCM), and companies are constantly working towards balancing cost, service level and product quality in the design. At the same time, sustainability has gained an increased focus by stakeholders which has led to both challenges and opportunities in the logistics industry. The FGDN optimization is e
