Bokmässan 2016 var en av de mest omskrivna kulturhändelserna 2016, och troligtvis den mest omskrivna Bokmässan på många år. Anledningen hette Nya Tider, en tidning med under 5000 prenumeranter som för första gången skulle medverka på mässan. Tidningen kommer ur det nu nedlagda partiet Nationaldemokraterna, och har täta band till den svenska rasideologiska miljön. När den för första gången skulle m
Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykologers upplevelser i psykoterapi med patienter med psykosproblematik. Detta undersöktes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex psykologer som arbetar eller har arbetat med patienter med psykosproblematik. Intervjumaterialet analyserades med tolkande fenomenologisk analys (IPA) med vilken fyra huvudteman kunde urskiljas: Att dela det ordlösa, Att förhålla sThe aim of this study was to explore psychologists’ experiences in therapy with patients suffering from psychosis. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six psychologists who worked with patients with psychotic disorders. The collected material was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, which led to identification of four main themes: Sharing the wordless, Minding the pa
Previous research findings suggest that our decisions are affected by the language they are made in. A recent study however indicates that this phenomenon might be related to an unexpected switch of language prior to a decision rather than to the use of a foreign language as such. To investigate this phenomenon further, the decision preferences of 200 participants, fluent in Swedish and English, w
Today’s industrial robots are highly repeatable, but need to be calibrated to improve their absolute accuracy. This calibration can be done on many of the robot properties such as kinematic parameters, joint friction or bending stiffness. This thesis explores a calibration procedure for the kinematic parameters, that use a specialized piece of hardware - the double ball-bar. The double ball-bar re
I partikelfysik beskrivs en partikel av en samling tal kallade kvanttal. Exempel på sådana inkluderar elektrisk laddning men även andra som exempelvis så kallade smaker of färger. Bevarade kvanttal är en speciellt viktig typ som går under det kollektiva namnet laddningar. Den viktigaste egenskapen som sådana laddningar har är att de är bevarade, alltså att de inte får förändras med tiden. Ibland This thesis treats neutron-antineutron oscillations in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. An effective Lagrangian, using mesons and nucleons as degrees of freedom, is constructed to capture the low-energy behavior of the effective six-quark operators, which is the set of higher dimensional operators that can induce neutron to antineutron transitions at the quark level. These operators ha
This paper addresses the issue of risk aversion and asset allocation for investors under the current globally low repo rate climate, as we try to examine how the low rate affects investor decisions. As a proxy for investors we have sampled data from several mutual funds, consisting of 50 balanced mutual funds and 15 pension targeting funds, all registered in the United States. Our measures of real
Uppsatsen behandlar kravet på tillräckliga kvalifikationer i 7 §, 22 §, 25 § och 25 a § LAS. Ur ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv studeras vilka kvalifikationer arbetstagaren måste uppfylla för att åtnjuta rätten till omplacering respektive företräde. Rättspraxis spelar en stor roll i begreppstolkningen då lag och lagmotiv inte bidrar med någon definition av begreppet. I arbetet studeras även om, ochThe essay concerns the requirement of sufficient qualifications in 7 §, 22 §, 25 § och 25 a § LAS. From a labour law perspective the qualifications which the employee has to fulfil to enjoy the right to redeployment and precedence are studied. Case-law is an important source in the interpretation of the concept of sufficient qualifications since its' meaning is not defined by law or preparator
Syftet med arbetet är att analysera vilken effekt en könsojämlikhet i utbildningen har på den ekonomiska tillväxten. Eftersom Nepal var ett av de länder i världen som lyckades bäst med att jämna ut könsojämlikheten under milleniemålens tid utgör landet ett intressant fall. I det här arbetet utvecklas en utvidgad version av teknologispridningsmodellen som tar hänsyn till könsojämlikhet i utbildning
What if you could create the effect of rain whenever you wanted to? Not through an app on the phone, but the actual sound of waterdrops falling and landing. From this question an interactable home product was developed. Sleeping problems, anxiety and stress are issues many of us face in today´s society. White and green noise have sound blocking, relaxing and soothing effects that can comfort thes
The aim of this thesis was to explore and evaluate current methods for building tiny, low-power audio recording systems for wireless applications. Short audio clips should be recorded, transferred to a smartphone and played back. Optimization of the different parts should be explored and a prototype for usage in battery powered devices with limited space should be built. System requirements were d
Docking of mobile robots requires precise position measurements in relation to the docking platform to accomplish the task successfully. Besides, the pose estimation of the robot with the sensors in an indoor environment should be accurate enough for localization and navigation toward the docking platform. However, the sensor measurements are entitled to disturbances and measurement uncertainties.
We are daily moving in different landscapes for various reasons; sometimes we are looking for specific activities and sometimes just to move from one place to another. Common for this is the affect the landscape can have on us and how it gives us different experiences. In this essay I seek answers to what is important for people when they visit the nature for recreational purposes. What factors do
In September 2003, a popular vote was held in Sweden with the question whether Sweden should or should not enter the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the debate with articles retrieved from a specific period, which was published within two weeks before the popular vote. The articles are retrieved from the Swedish newspaper ‘Svenska dagbladet’.
All students in Swedish schools are entitled by law to education of high and equal quality. This includes newly arrived (immigrant) students. However, earlier research and reports indicate large variations between schools in education quality for newly arrived students, and thus a lack of equity (Bunar, 2010; Skolinspektionen, 2014). Authority over Swedish schools lies at the municipal level, incl
Stereotyping and stigma of overweight people generate ostracism and also leads to health issues such as mental and/or physical illness. Earlier research shows that stereotypes in children´s books have a negative impact on children. The following study intends to analyze how overweight characters are portrayed in children's picture books. With a quantitative and qualitative content analysis thi
Under vår tid som studenter vid programmet för Personal- och ar- betslivsfrågor har vi gång på gång kommit fram till att roten till flera problem och svaret på många frågor är kommunikation. Då kommu- nikation är ett brett ämne valde vi att avgränsa oss till Jürgen Habermas teori om kommunikativt handlande som har präglat många organisa- tionsforskares syn på dialog och valt ut tre olika perspekti
Den 1 januari 1981 trädde den första skatteflyktslagen i kraft. Sedan dess har det alltid funnits ett rekvisit i lagen som föreskrivit att dess tillämpning förutsätter att ett visst förfarande strider mot lagstiftningens grunder eller syfte. Detta rekvisit anses vara det mest svårtillämpade av rekvisiten i 2 § skatteflyktslagen samtidigt som det anses det vara det viktigaste då det knyter an till The first general clause to prevent tax avoidance was introduced in the Swedish tax system the first of January 1981. The clause has always had a criterion that states that the clause is only applicable on procedures incompatible with the purpose of the legislation. This criterion has been considered the hardest one of the criterions in the general clause to apply. Nevertheless, it is also conside
The idea of the open air museum was to create a museum that would make the history of the people accessible for everyone. The early open air museums also aimed at educating the people into a common national identity by indicating a collective history. This essay examines how the formation of the open air museums was affected by the dominant ideologies at the end of the 19th century and how this ba
Activity based workplace offices are more and more common in organizations today. Recent research in this field of interest is quite limited and in particular research concerning leadership in relation to activity based environments. The question is what consequences the introduction of an activity based workplace office has for the leadership within the organization. The purpose of our study is t
