In this thesis, I discuss the difficulties Ukrainian refugees face in accessing and integrating into the Swedish labor market, the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Sweden with regard to the labor market integration of Ukrainian refugees, and the policy hindrance and CSOs’ limitation in achieving their goal for Ukrainian refugees. This thesis gathers qualitative data using semi-structu

3-dimensionell (3D) rekonstruktion, ett område inom datorseende, har under senare år gjort stora framsteg som en konsekvens av de omfattande genombrott som har skett inom Artificiell Intelligens (AI). Inom datorseende har man som mål att försöka förklara hur världen ser ut för en dator, där saker som vi människor finner uppenbara behöver beskrivas i detalj med matematiska begrepp för att datorn sk3D reconstruction is a field in computer vision which has evolved rapidly as a result of the recent advancements in deep learning. As 3D reconstruction pipelines now can run in real-time, this has opened up new possibilities for teams developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which rely on the camera system of the vehicle to enhance the safety and driving experience. This thesis pres

Förena mörker med trygghet för att gynna biologisk mångfald! Årligen ökar spridningen av artificiellt ljus på jorden till följd av att vi människor bland annat sätter upp mer utomhusbelysning. Belysning är en av många nödvändigheter för att människor ska känna sig trygga. Belysning medför dock ljusföroreningar som påverkar biologiska funktioner negativt och den biologiska mångfalden tar skada. TrThe spread of artificial light on Earth increases annually. One of many causes of this spread is due to increased street lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN). Lighting is one of the many necessities for people to feel safe. On the other hand, ALAN, which contributes to light pollution, negatively affects biological functions and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to investig

Herzberg developed a theory to explain which factors were important for employees to experience satisfaction in the workplace. Herzberg’s two-factor theory suggests that high motivation factors, such as responsibility and personal growth lead to greater job satisfaction. Furthermore, the theory suggests that low hygiene factors, such as working conditions and coworker relations can contribute to l

This study explores how older adults in Copenhagen experience the transition into empty-nest life within the broader context of Denmark’s welfare system and cultural values. Using a mixed-method approach, including surveys, in-depth interviews, home visits and walk-along observations, the study investigates perceptions of the respondents concerning how Denmark’s strong welfare system, community en

Objectives: This study illuminated the meanings of existential loneliness (EL) as narrated by frail older people. Method: Data were collected through individual narrative interviews with 23 people 76–101 years old receiving long-term care and services. A phenomenological hermeneutical analysis was performed, including a naïve reading and two structural analyses as a basis for a comprehensive under

The benefits of archaeology are seldom discussed in relation to the evident fascination of many people with the subjects of archaeology and the past. This current popularity of a certain way of perceiving archaeology and the past can be seen as a part of larger trends associated with the Experience or Dream Society as described by scholars such as Gerhard Schulze and Rolf Jensen. In this paper, I

The idea of Circular Economy is gaining a momentum among companies, households and policy makers. In order to support a smooth transition to this idea, new ways of producing and using products and services are needed, which in turn require innovative business models. Such business models may help companies capitalise on closed resource loops and maintain or improve their competitive position in th

In most genres of fiction representations of a profession, discipline or calling must broadly resonate with the conceptions of that role held by audiences. But very few represenations of PR practice to be found in novels written by UK-based writers draw a picture of PR activity that sits comfortably with the ”idealised” models offered by organisations such as the Chartered Institute of Public Re

Working with relationships and making use of what we commonly call emotions are common in the health and care professions. The purpose of this paper is to explore knowledge in health and care professions – especially in situations that involve strong feelings. Is there any kind of knowledge that gets lost in the process of fitting health and care work into an evidence-based or time-efficient templ

The aim of the study was to investigate how women exposed to violence in close relationships portray their experiences in autobiographies, to generate understanding of what is significant in their choice to stay or leave the relationship. To investigate this phenomenon, the following questions have been used as starting points: (1) How are the women’s inclination to report the perpetrator describe

The purpose of this study is to explore the way that aspects of the external shopping environment form consumers’ perception of safety, in order to improve our understanding of how consumers experience safety issues in the high streets. Besides, this thesis aims to understand the role of safety in the consumers’ perception towards the shopping environment of high streets and the importance of safe

The purpose of this study was to examine a few home care workers’ conception of their discretion connected to work-related health within the home care service. The study was based on semi-structured interviews with three home care workers from different areas of a common district in the south part of Sweden. The analyzed result was based on theories about control and research on health. Theoretica

BackgroundThe majority of people with dementia prefer to live independently and safely in their own home cared for by their family members. Much effort has been invested in the development of technology, such as sensor‐based networks. Many challenges remain, in particular gaining more knowledge about their experiences and perceived benefits. This study aimed to explore experiences, needs and benef

Background: Lack of a global consensus on the definition of advanced Parkinson’s disease (APD) and considerations for timing of device-aided therapies may result in heterogeneity in care. Objectives: To reach consensus among movement disorder specialists regarding key patient characteristics indicating transition to APD and guiding appropriate use of device-aided therapies in the management of PD
