The study involved interviews of 7 international students from different national backgrounds. Emerging from the analysis is the perception that respondents have to face several identity ch
This study put together a well established statistical model which estimates the expected number of goals being scored in football games in the Swedish 1 division (the third tier). The model is based on a Poisson regression and makes it possible to calculate the relative strength between two teams in terms of how many goals they are expected to score. The study is based on data from 1092 games and
År 2010 insjuknade 32 000 personer i hjärtinfarkt i Sverige. Knappt hälften av alla patienter utvecklar en depression i efterförloppet. Depressionen uppmärksammas inte alltid av sjuksköterskor vilket ökar risken för ett återinsjuknande i hjärtinfarkt. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa metoder sjuksköterskor kan använda sig av i arbetet för att identifiera och minska patienters depression
Relationship marketing is getting more focus from researchers today. The idea of earning the trust and loyalty of customers by engaging in relationships has been put to practice in many retail areas. Retailers and researchers are stressing the importance of establishing relationships with their customers and are in many ways focused on the physical service encounter. Literature often suggests that
This paper provides a comprehensive understanding the Swedish long stay tourism in Thailand. The motivation approach was the main approach to this research through highlighting the major push and pull factors. The participation involved the total of 120 respondents. To enhance the analysis of the data, both qualitative and quantitative research approaches were employed. The total push factors that
This literary work is a close study of the novel “Boule de suif” from a group psychological perspective. Here studied the different characters influence, on the group composition and the individuals integrity. How much does peer pressure effect each specific individual.
Personer som drabbats av hjärtsvikt upplever en hög nivå av fysisk, funktionell och emotionell stress och de beskriver själva sin livskvalitet som låg. Hjärtsvikt är en av de vanligaste diagnoserna vid sjukhusvård och därmed en av samhällets mest kostsamma folksjukdomar. Om patienten får rätt omvårdnad och information under sjukdomens inledande förlopp, kan sjukdomsförloppet fördröjas och patiente
Demensvården har behov av att hitta alternativa behandlingsformer som kan bidra till ökad livskvalité för personer med demens. Denna interventionsstudie där kvantitativ metod användes, syftade till att se om bildskapande verksamhet hade någon påverkan på livskvalité, kognitiv och funktionell förmåga samt psykiska symtom. Totalt 19 personer med demens som var beroende av vård och omsorg valdes ut p
Socioeconomic-related inequalities in health despite gains in extended life spans remain a key equity issue that calls into question society’s burden of illness and the role of a universal healthcare system. The extent to which socioeconomic conditions systematically vary with population health has been a matter of empirical analysis aimed at measuring social equity. This paper attempts to measure
In order to combat climate change businesses, among others, have major responsibility decreasing GHG emissions generated from, for example, industry processes and products/services. Companies need to develop innovative strategies as a strategy intended for reducing companies’ carbon footprint aimed at a carbon free future. One important strategy employed by companies to reduce their environmental

Dynaminer hjälper till att dela lika Dynaminer är en typ av proteiner som cellen använder för att modellera om i sina membran. Hos eukaryoter spelar de en viktig roll i bland annat celldelning, cellförsvar och i transporten av näringsämnen i vesiklar. Tidigare har man trott att dessa proteiner endast fanns i eukaryoter, men de har nu visat sig vara vanliga även hos bakterier. Det har dock varit o
In recent years, LARP events (live action role playing) have become more popular in Sweden and permanent buildings have been built in a number of LARP event areas. But despite that a desire for good event management may exist, the knowledge may be lacking. This master thesis aims to study the risks and dependencies on LARP events with the goal to answer the question: “What should be included in sa
Popular science summary Has climate change influenced flowering time of coltsfoot? Phenological events such as the onset of flowering during the spring are among the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Hence, phenological data have recently emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on species and ecosystems. In this study, I used records from herbaria and pub
Popular science summary New microalgal strains for converting CO2 rich flue gasses into valuable biomass Global depletion of fossil fuels and climate change due to Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions are presently faced two serious challenges. It has been known from quite long that increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) in the atmosphere is the key cause for global climate chan
Våld mot vårdare har blivit ett alltmer uppmärksammat problem inom hälso- och sjukvården. Fokus i tidigare forskning har framför allt varit kontakten mellan vårdare-patient. Syftet med studien var att beskriva variationer i undersköterskors uppfattningar av distriktssköterskans stöd i situationer där det förekommer hot och våld på särskilt boende i en kommun som erbjuder blandat boende för persone
This study investigated the possibilities of identifying leading objective indicators of safety across shipping organisations. Leading objective indicators of safety are safety culture related metrics that are statistically correlated with safety performance data which enables a more proactive approach to safety management. The conclusion was that no indicators could be identified, at least no
Have portrayals of women in literature changed over time? The assumption was that the portrayals of women have changed over time in one way or another. The analysis shows, quite contrary to the assumption, that there is no difference between the portrayals of women in the 19th century compared to the 21st century. All of the multiple correspondence analyses indicate that whether the novel was writ
Combining several cameras in a multi-camera system creates a greater overview of an area than what can be achieved with a single camera. If one of the cameras have pan, tilt and zoom capability (i.e. a PTZ camera), it can be used to focus on and track an object moving in the monitored area. In this project, a method for mapping image coordinates between four fixed overview cameras and a PTZ camer
