The aim of this study is to explore social workers' experiences with work-related stress and coping, along with their attitudes towards holistic methods as tools for stress management. Since social workers are at high risk for burnout and work-related stress, it is of interest to explore whether a holistic approach can contribute to increasing sustainability among social workers. Through quali

This paper analysed the returns on delta-neutral straddles around macroeconomic announcements. The results for straddles on all macroeconomic events were negative returns across all weighting methods and across the majority of holding periods. Furthermore, the returns for individual macroeconomic data announcements were negative, except for money supply and employment data which showed inconclusiv

Svanödlor (plesiosaurier) är akvatiska reptiler från mesozoikum, runt 251.9 till 66 miljoner år sedan. Fossil från gruppen har beskrivits globalt sedan tidigt 1800-tal, och inkluderar fynd från marina kretaceiska avlagringar i sydligaste Sverige. Här är det fossila arkivet fragmentariskt, och utgörs huvudsakligen av isolerade tänder och kotkroppar. Endast två fragment från kraniet på en svanödla hPlesiosaurs are aquatic reptiles that roamed the world’s oceans during the Mesozoic, some 251.9 to 66 million years ago. Fossils of this group have been recorded globally since the early 19th century, and include finds in the marine Cretaceous of southernmost Sweden. Here, the record of plesiosaurs is fragmentary (a so called ‘scrap fauna’), and mainly made up of isolated teeth and vertebral centr

This thesis investigates multigenerational living as an architectural response to contemporary social fragmentation and urban isolation, offering an alternative model of dwelling grounded in collective domestic life. Drawing from personal experiences of growing up partly within an extended family, the work is motivated by these factors: intergenerational bonds, the timeless human tendency t

This study aims to explore how it is experienced to be swedish-hungarian in Sweden today. This question is answered by looking at three aspects; double belonging, Hungarian culture and the political situation in Hungary today. The research is based on eight interviews done with people between the ages of 21-26 that either have one or both parents from Hungary or Transylvania, or are themselves bor

The rapid evolution of digital technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally altered how agreements are formed and executed. Automated contract formations occur when contracts are initiated, negotiated or concluded by software agents or systems with minimal or no human intervention. This presents challenges to traditional legal concepts such a

The paper reviewed a collection of studies from 2015-2025 in Sweden on municipal organizational change, with the aim of discussing challenges and benefits during modern change processes and connecting it to previously existing theories. The results showed that there is some conflict between different governance models (mainly NPM and TBG), that TBG can be implemented differently in different munic

Flertalet studier fokuserar på det rehabiliterande perspektivet av stressrelaterad ohälsa, och få inriktar sig på det preventiva arbetet. Syfte: Utforska hur arbetsterapeuter kan arbeta preventivt för att förebygga stressrelaterad ohälsa. Metod: En fokusgruppstudie som använde en kvalitativ explorativ ansats. Totalt sex perBackground: In today's society stress-related ill health is a growing problem. Multiple studies focus on a rehabilitative perspective on stress-related ill health, while few focus on preventive approaches. Aim: The aim is to explore how occupational therapists can work prevently to reduce stress-related ill health. Method: A focus group study that uses a qualitative exploratory approach. Six p

Kriget mellan Ukraina och Ryssland har synliggjort hur sociala medier idag utgör ett modernt konfliktlandskap, där humoristiska memer har fått en allt mer framträdande roll som bärare av strategiska narrativ. Denna uppsats ämnar utifrån en narrativ analys av humoristiska memer att undersöka vilka strategiska narrativ om Ryssland och Ukraina som ukrainska aktörer kommunicerar på X. Vidare ämnar stu

This study aims to investigate how people who are living in, who have lived or who are currently working at a non-profit organization in Södra Sofielund in Malmö, Sweden, experience the area through different aspects such as feelings of safety and belonging. This study also aims to discover what resources they wish to see implemented in Södra Sofielund as well as to investigate what resources are

This paper investigates how firms and financial markets respond to extreme weather events, using the flood in 2021 in Germany as a case study. An event study is used to assess short-term stock market reactions for listed firms in affected regions. The results show a significant and persistent decline in stock prices, suggesting that investors initially underreacted to the disaster. A difference-in

Denna studie undersökte möjligheten att använda icke-kontextuella mått på motivation: Tidsinvestering och Personlighet. Dessa icke-kontextuella mått utvärderades utifrån deras förmåga att predicera genomsnittligt betyg (GPA), ett vanligt använt mått på akademisk prestation och indikator för akademisk motivation. Resultaten analyserades via explorativ faktoranalys och multipel linjär regression basThis study investigated the possibility of using non-contextual measurements of motivation: Time-investment and Personality. These non-contextual measurements were evaluated based on their ability to predict Grade Point Average (GPA), a commonly used metric of academic performance and used tangible for academic motivation. Results were analysed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and multipl

This study assesses the effectiveness of post-classification change detection for monitoring land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics across West Africa between 2000 and 2013. Using publicly available maps from the USGS West Africa Land Cover dataset, the original 25-class scheme was reclassified into 8 generalized land cover categories to allow for a more interpretable change analysis. A pixel-wis

By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas, with much of this growth occurring in developing countries where the demand for affordable and accessible housing is not met, resulting in a growing population residing in slums or areas of slum-like conditions. One of the many risks associated with living in slums or areas of slum-like conditions is fires, which are freque

In this thesis, algorithms have been developed for automated design of fully differential amplifiers. Given the amplifier specifications, the automated design flow generates netlists for the amplifier core as well as bias circuitry. The algorithms are independent of Process Design Kit (PDK) and can target all the currently available open-source PDKs. Using the automated flow, 280 amplifier netlist

This study investigates how brand trust is constructed, challenged, and redefined on dating applications, with a focus on the communicative strategies and lived experiences of female users. Adopting a qualitative approach grounded in thematic analysis, it draws on semi-structured interviews with 15 women residing in Sweden to examine how users negotiate trust in emotionally charged, algorithmicall

In communication and management research, employee voice has been widely acknowledged as a central component for organizations long term development and survival. With the increasing digitalization and need for flexibility, digital workplace meetings have become a common form of communication, demonstrating a new arena where employee voice is expressed and shaped. Thus, the aim of this study is to

Detta projekt avsåg att optimera ett automatiskt backspolande filter för emulsionspolymerer på the Dow Chemical Companys anläggning i Landskrona, samt att jämföra det med det befintliga påsfiltersystemet. Då filtret använder färdigprodukten för att backspola filtret fokuserade optimeringen på att minska mängden produkt som spolas ut, så kallat reject, då detta medför avfallskostnader och förlust aThis project aimed to optimize an automatic backwash filter for emulsion polymers at the Dow Chemical Company's facility in Landskrona, and to compare it with the existing cartridge filter system. Since the filter uses the finished product to backwash the filter, the optimization focused on reducing the amount of product that is flushed out, so-called reject, as this entails disposal costs and
