The aim of this study was to examine how unaccompanied asylum seeking children perceived their time within the social service system in Sweden, and in what way this time period in their life has affected them today. In researching this, its specific aim was to explore if there was any specific way of meeting these children which had a positive effect on their future in their new country. The stud

Psykisk ohälsa ökar i dagens samhälle och användandet av digitala medier likaså. Få studier har gjorts på hur organisationer kommunicerar kring psykisk ohälsa online. 1177.se, Sveriges samlingsplats på nätet för information och tjänster inom hälsa och vård, har skapat en temasida om psykisk hälsa med anledning att sprida kunskap och förändra attityder kring ämnet. Denna studie ämnar att öka förståMental illness is increasingly common in today's society, and so is the usage of digital media.

The EU imposed targeted sanctions on Myanmar in 1996, which were later lifted in 2013. The sanctions were adopted because of the violation of human rights and the absence of democracy in the country. This study aims to examine the effects on Myanmar’s exports, due to the sanctions. The paper takes two approaches. First, it applies a gravity model to distinguish if the sanctions had an impact on th

This thesis aimed to capture a deeper understanding of the functions and roles of the long standing norms of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) characterized as the ASEAN Way codified in an ASEAN-led multilateral institution, the East Asia Summit (EAS). Based on a comparative case study between the US and China, and using a theoretical thematic analysis, this thesis addressed what

How does theatre function as a pedagogical tool in critical education?

Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie som antar ett hermeneutiskt angreppssätt med ett tolkande perspektiv. Metoden kan närmast beskrivas som abduktiv med starka induktiva inslag. Empirin är insamlad genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. T

With behavioural and electrophysiological data from 24 participants, the goal of the present study was to advance the understanding of memory interference and how it is resolved by cognitive control of memory. Previous work has shown that a retrieval cue can be processed in a goal-directed manner and that beforehand knowing what to expect further can facilitate the processing and thereby reduce in

The present thesis investigates motion-emotion metaphors in Estonian and compares them cross-linguistically with Finnish, English and Swedish. Motion-emotion metaphors (e.g. I fell into depression) are expression types that denote affective responses, which imply conspicuous bodily changes, using motion verbs and other linguistic expressions that typically express actual motion. Metaphor has been

Hungrig redan två timmar efter frukost? En kalori är inte en kalori. Frukostar med olika komposition påverkar hungerkänslor på olika vis, trots att de innehåller samma mängd energi. Det är inte heller den frukost som du först känner dig mest mätt av som sedan gör att du äter minst till lunch. Denna studie har undersökt fyra frukostar, Ägg & bröd, Ägg & frukt, Yoghurt & müsli och SyThis master thesis aims to examine the effect of isoenergetic but different composed breakfasts on satiety and satiation in a Swedish context. Four isoenergetic breakfasts were composed: egg & bread, egg & fruits, yoghurt & müsli and jam & bread. The breakfasts were composed pairwise where the first two consisted of the same distribution of glycemic carbohydrates, fiber, protein an

The aim of this study was to examine the Swedish prostitution law that makes it illegal to buy sexual services but legal to sell them. More specifically the aim was to find out the perceptions and attitudes of social workers in regards to the Sex Purchase Act which was enacted in 1999 and was first of its kind in the world. We carried out qualitative interviews in three larger Swedish municipaliti

This paper focuses on the use of relative clauses, specifically internally headed relative clauses in Japanese. Previous research on different types of relative clauses occurring in Japanese is also presented. The main purpose of the thesis is to give an up to date analysis of the understanding of relative clauses. A survey was carried out to further research at what point sentences with relative

Buildings are getting taller due to increased urbanisation and densification of cities. More advanced construction methods and the desire to construct impressive buildings is also supporting the trend. Due to their inherent slenderness resulting in low eigenfrequencies, these buildings are susceptible to wind-induced vibrations which can be highly disturbing for occupants. Already barely perceivab

Arbetar samhällsviktiga verksamheter gemensamt för att hantera samhällets sårbarheter? När en händelse såsom då en storm sker, kan de allra flesta se hur sårbart samhället är och hur lätt ett problem hos en verksamhet snabbt sprider sig till andra verksamheter i samhället. Hur arbetar aktörer gemensamt för att hantera detta? Vi är många som har vaknat upp en morgon och sett att vägarna ligger vThe objective of this thesis is to provide answers to how a method can be designed to gain better knowledge of how collaboration looks between different critical societal activities in a preparing and preventive stage related to the management of transboundary risks. The designed method consists of two parts; a technique for data acquisition, and a method for data analysis. In order to evaluate th

I have used a qualitative method and have made a content analysis on five fiction books for young adults. The fiction books were found on a list of book recommendations published on Psykiatri Skåne’s webpage dedicated for relatives of peop

Den moderna partikelfysiken är utan tvekan en av männsklighetens största triumfer hittils. Sedan dess begynnelse i slutet på 1900-talet har partikelfysiker världen över lyckats skapa det mest uttömmande svaret på frågan vad allting består av. Det sista stora hålet som fanns kvar i den så kallade Standardmodellen var partikeln som förklarar hur de andra partiklarna får sin massa, Higgspartikeln, upA hypertest-algorithm, the BUMPHUNTER, is introduced briefly and tested by probing events containing muons in 8 TeV datasets from the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN against a background spectrum created by selecting muons from different collisions. The hypertest looked for excesses of same sign di-muon pairs which could indicate the existence of a Majorana neutrino. The

Information är en värdefull tillgång, och att garantera dess säkerhet är en konstant utmaning för alla inblandade. Nuförtiden säljs det fler avancerade mobila enheter än datorer per år, men säkerheten i dessa enheter släpar efter jämfört med säkerheten som erbjuds för datoranvändare. Syftet med denna uppsats är att ta reda på hur medvetna användare är kring säkerhetsrisker som berör mobila enheter
