Social work has been greatly affected by the corona pandemic. This can be seen in the area of domestic abuse, where social workers have had to adapt to an increase in domestic violence and victims who are now forced to isolate. This can be attributed to the restrictions the governments around the world have enforced on the populations to fight the pandemic. Since social workers are fundamental whe

This thesis is presented as an analytical synthesis of theoretical and case specific literature and statistics discussing youth bulge theory and its connections to oil rentierism in the case of two regions in Nigeria. The main method used for analysis was a combination of content and deductive thematic analysis of primary and secondary sources. The analysis of this paper finds that in the Niger De

Syftet med studien var att bidra med förståelse och kunskap om konflikter och konflikthantering på mindre, privata bolag som genomgår stora, organisatoriska förändringar. Denna uppsats riktade sig därför in på ett privat företag som gått igenom en period av utmaningar och konflikter. Således undersökte vi, utifrån intervjupersonernas upplevelser, varför konflikterna uppstod, hur dessa kunde ha undThe purpose of the study was to examine conflict and conflict management in smaller, private companies amid major organizational changes. We identified a company that was experiencing conflict among staff while going through a period of expansion. Based on the interviewees' experiences, we examined why these conflicts occurred, how they could have been avoided and the lessons learned as a resu

Försörjningskedjan har stor potential till optimering. Många olika delar av kedjan kan optimeras och alla tänkbara förbättringar har inte testats än. Denna studien har sitt fokus på ruttoptimering, med det specifika målet att förstå hur maskininlärning kan användas inom ruttplanering, samt hur nyckelfaktorer som påverkar restiden för en rutt kan tas i åtanke för problemet. Tid lades på att studerThe supply chain has potential for growth. Many different parts can be optimized, and every possible improvement has not yet been tested. This study focuses on route optimization with the specific goal of figuring out how machine learning can be applied to route planning and how key factors that impact travel time for a route can be taken into account for this problem. Time was dedicated to learn

This study will investigate the distance between theory and practice in gender equality work in the swedish public sphere. Research and especially research in gender studies have for decades criticized the way Sweden works towards gender equality and especially how Sweden works with gender mainstreaming and intersectionality. The study is based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with people wo

Within the next thirty years, two thirds of the human population will live in a city. This growing urban population requires a major shift in the way we produce and distribute food, since industrial agriculture practices contribute to climate change, biodiversity losses, pollution of waterways, soil degradation, etc. Urban and peri-urban agriculture and forestry (UPAF) represent one of the strateg

Organ shortage has been a large issue all over the world, almost for as long as there have been organ transplants. Other than the straightforward issues like the organs not matching between the donor and the recipient, limited availability of suitable donors, logistic problems involved with the transplantation procedure etc., another large problem is the sociological perspective on organ transplan

Bakgrund: Mer än hälften av alla ingrepp som utförs i Sverige sker som dagkirurgisk vård. Detta är en följd av utvecklingen av nya kirurgiska behandlingsmetoder och av kraven på effektivisering av vården. Den korta vistelsen på sjukhus ställer höga krav på bemötande, information och omhändertagande för att uppnå en säker vård. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att belysa patienternas upplevelser av de

Med sin ökade tillgänglighet på den kommersiella marknaden har eye-tracking blivit ett allmänt tillgängligt system för att analysera ögonrörelser. Detta har öppnat upp för nya möjligheter för utvärdering av usability inom humancomputer interaction, som tidigare har varit dyrt, tidskrävande och ofta utfört baserat på dåligt dokumenterade standarder och mål. Tidigare forskning har visat att eye-tracWith its increased availability on the commercial market, eye-tracking has become a widely accessible system for analysing eye-movements. This has opened up new possibilities in evaluation of usability in human-computer interaction, which has had a history of being expensive, time-consuming and often performed based on poorly documented standards and objectives. Previous research has indicated the

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine how the short-term performance of European acquirers, following M&A announcements, has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, this study also aims to examine how diversifying M&As have been affected, and whether acquirers’ firm value demonstrated a positive relationship with CARs during the pandemic. Methodology: This stu

Hampadryck – ett klimatsmart växtbaserat dryckesalternativ En snabb blick i matvaruaffärerna och de växtbaserade dryckesalternativen står uppradade hylla efter hylla. Den obesvarade frågan ekar, ”vilket alternativ är egentligen bäst ur ett klimatperspektiv?”. En genomförd livscykelanalys för hampadryck visar att hampadryck har lägst klimatpåverkan relativt sex studerade växtbaserade alternativ. Hemp milk has the potential to be a climate-friendly substitute for cow milk. In contrast to other milk substitutes, the climate impact of hemp milk has not yet been studied. This study aims to examine the climate impact and water consumption of hemp milk throughout the whole process from the agricultural stage to the finished product via a life cycle assessment. The results show that the climate

Work related to LGBTQI is in some places an important part of libraries, but is also in some places questioned or not prioritised. Part of libraries work with LGBTQI-questions is having a so called rainbow shelf, with works related to LGBTQI themes, or getting a LGBTQI-certification through the organisation RFSL, which gives information and teaches methods of including LGBTQI matters. The aim of

Displacement – the process when residents are forced away from their living space – is one of the most pressing urban development issues of present times. Gentrification used as an urban policy tool to provide support for urban renewal and to carry out the rehabilitation of cities is the main displacement-inducing mechanism. However, there is an existing intellectual bias, which leads to an inequa

This study investigates the market reactions to firms’ first publication of sustainability reports. The data of listed companies in the Nordic, the United States, and Chinese stock markets are utilized to examine whether the event leads to abnormal returns in the short term and whether the results are identical across regions. The companies are divided into two groups based on their impact on the
