When it comes to random walk on the integers Z, the arguably first step of generalization beyond simple random walk is the class of one-sidedly continuous random walk, where the stepsize in only one direction is bounded by 1. Moreover, the time until state 0 is hit by left-continuous random walk on Z started at 1 has a direct connection to the total progeny in branching processes. In the analysis
Försök att beskriva och rekonstruera omständigheterna kring Carl Johan Tornbergs (1807-1877) utnämning till och installation som professor i österländska språk 1850.
Ethnographic methods can advance our knowledge of a setting through its documents as well as help the researcher to grasp a document in its setting. This chapter contests the idea that the study of documents only refers to close analyses of text. Taking pictures of documents, asking about documents, and observing what people do with documents are approaches that can answer sociologically significa
Background: During the transition to parenthood, fathers face psychosocial changes that are accompanied by uncertainty and insecurity. Feelings of insecurity may affect fathers’ experiences of pregnancy and childbirth, adjustment to the paternal role, and bonding with their child. There is a need to better understand fathers’ experiences of security and the causal and constitutional factors involv
Under de första åren av 2000-talet betraktades ”den galopperande sjukfrånvaron” som en av de absolut viktigaste frågorna i den välfärdspolitiska debatten. En mängd aktörer förde fram olika (och ibland konkurrerande) uppfattningar om problemet, dess orsaker och tänkbara lösningar. Sådana skeenden brukar kallas problemdefinieringsprocesser och har stor betydelse, både för vilka frågor som hamnar på
This chapter is about social work and prostitution, understood as a relation in which sexual acts are exchanged for money or other material or immaterial resources. The aim is to understand different approaches in social work by linking up to a policy-process perspective. As any social phenomenon, prostitution can be framed differently as a policy problem. The chapter is structured around three di
The project offers a study of German-Jewish thought by examining Walter Benjamin’s notion of law through the interpretive framework of the Talmud. The widely recognised locus of Benjamin's discussion of law is his essay Toward the Critique of Violence. In his later essays on Kafka, however, Benjamin develops an alternative to the familiar negative notion of law found in the Critique, a development
“Honestly waste” is a collaborative project between Swedese, a pioneer in Swedish furniture design, and Malmö Upcycling Service (M.U.S), a design studio dedicated to transforming industrial waste into valuable products. The partnership focuses on exploring how Swedese’s production waste—comprising wood, leather, fabric, and metal—can be reimagined into functional, aesthetically appealing, and mark
I takt med ett mer extremt klimat till följd av global uppvärmning förväntas kusterna världen över bli allt mer utsatta då stormars frekvens och intensitet beräknas öka. För att kustnära infrastruktur och personlig egendom ska kunna stå emot dessa intensifierade belastningar behöver stora delar av världens kustskydd rustas upp. För att tillämpa adekvat dimensionering av dessa faciliteter behöver kThe aim of this masters dissertation is to investigate how problems that includes fluids can be solved numerical through FE-analysis. The problem at hand is to predict the impact force implied by breaking ocean waves on vertical coastal structures. The importance that coastal areas has on human society both from a perspective of economy, infrastructure and recreation are indubitable. Furthermore,
Denna studie undersöker hur medarbetare upplever och skapar samhörighet i en hybrid arbetsmiljö, där arbetsmiljön växlar mellan kontoret och hemmet. Syftet är att fördjupa kunskapen om hur den hybrida arbetsformen påverkar mellanmänskliga relationer och möjligheten att bygga en inkluderande kultur. En kvalitativ ansats med tio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med medarbetare som arbetar he
Research on assortative mating often focuses on status achievement, particularly education, with status ascription becoming a progressively less important factor throughout the 20th century. Neighborhoods have been considered a kind of status ascription, since they are inherited from parents. Although neighborhoods can be important for preference formation for spousal characteristics and social gr
Solpaneler på taket är numera en vanlig syn, men vart tar elen vägen när solen skiner som mest? I detta examensarbete har det undersökts hur flerbostadshus kan använda egna batterier för att spara pengar, bli mer självförsörjande och samtidigt stötta elsystemet. Svaret är att batterier kan löna sig, om de används smart. När elnätet blir allt mer pressat och produktionen från förnybar energi varierThis thesis examines the economic potential of lithium-ion battery storage systems in multi-family residential buildings in Sweden, focusing on profitability, revenue opportunities, and the factors influencing investment decisions. The increasing share of renewable electricity, combined with the electrification of society, has intensified the need for energy storage solutions capable of balancing
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, is primarily known as a respiratory disease. The continued study of the disease has shown that long-term COVID-19 symptoms include persisting effects of the virus on the brain when the infection is over, possibly even leading to neurodegeneration. However, the exact mechanisms of
