Large-scale restoration projects are being increasingly used to address land degradation and global climate change. While these initiatives are promising, an overemphasis on tree planting may contribute to ecological degradation and carbon loss. This thesis critically examines the AFR100 initiative in southern Africa through literature analysis and expert interviews. By integrating perspectives fr

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att skapa en bättre förståelse för vilken roll känslor har för att bedriva kunskapsutvecklande läs- och skrivundervisning i svenskämnet inom ramen för skolverksamheten på särskilda ungdomshem, vid Statens institutionsstyrelse. Det empiriska materialet i examensarbetet är semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer av fem lärare vid olika särskilda ungdomshem, geografThe Role of Emotions in Reading and Writing Instruction among Students in Special Youth Homes: A Qualitative Interview Study of Teachers in the State Youth Care Education The purpose of this thesis is to create a better understanding of the role emotions play in conducting knowledge-developing reading and writing instruction in the Swedish subject within the framework of educational activities at

Remote sensed vegetation biophysical indicators are derived from various sensors and methods and contribute to the quantification of vegetation growth. They are used as inputs to early warning systems for crop yield estimation, thus improving crop management and food security. However, the performance of any such system is affected by the performance of the chosen remote sensed biophysical indicat

Investigating the influence of the tidal regime on harbour porpoise Phocoena phocoena distribution in Mount’s Bay, Cornwall Abstract Unintentional by-catch in fishing gear is a significant cause of mortality of harbour porpoises in UK waters. Understanding the spatial distribution of harbour porpoises at fine scales and how this changes over time is essential when trying to understand where thes

Three new cobalt complexes of the general formula [CoIII(L)Cl]2+, where L is one of five pentadentate nitrogen-donor ligands based on the N4Py framework, have been synthesized and characterized fully by UV−visible and NMR spectroscopies, high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HRESI-MS), X-ray crystallography, and electrochemistry. The electrocatalytic capabilities of these comp

Bakgrund: Äldre är en stor och växande grupp i befolkningen. Brister inom slutenvård är ett problem då det saknas rätt kompetens och bemanning på landets sjukhus. Det krävs professionell vård och ett etiskt förhållningssätt i vårdmötet med den äldre patienten. Den kunskap som sjuksköterskan har och den vetenskap som inhämtas är en förutsättning för att kunna tillgodose patienten den mest adekvata Background: The elderly are a large and growing group. Deficiencies in patient care is a problem as there is a lack of the right skillset as well as staffing level in hospitals around the country. Professional care and an ethical approach are required in the care-meeting with elderly patients. The scientific knowledge that the nurse has acquired is a prerequisite for being able to provide the pati

The term data literacy has been defined as “the ability to collect, manage, evaluate, and apply data, in a critical manner” and the concept speaks for an important skill in today’s information-rich digital landscape. The educational system is a key factor in supporting students in their quest of strengthening this ability. The following thesis aims to investigate how student performance related to

Bakgrund: Trauma är en av de ledande orsakerna till mortalitet och morbiditet världen över. Personal som arbetar inom akutsjukvård hamnar ofta i situationer där de tar hand om denna patientgrupp utan att veta allt som hänt. Livshotande skador behövs åtgärdas på minimalt med tid och fokus läggs sällan på patientens psykiska och emotionella mående. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters upplevelser av traum

Risk perception and risk tolerance are key elements of decision-making and flight safety. During flight operations, an accident may occur if a pilot underestimates risk level or overestimates their capacity (risk tolerance). Despite the numerous research studies conducted previously on risk perception and risk tolerance, there has been limited investigation into the "evolution" of these

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Mötet mellan patient och sjuksköterska sker i samspel där många faktorer påverkar hur bra det mötet blir. Målet är att patienten ska få den bästa möjliga omvårdnad och behandling. Akutmottagningen är ofta en plats med hög arbetsbelastning med snabba förändringar och olika professioner där brister i mötet mellan patient och vårdpersonal uppstår lätt och patienternas inte upplever

Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor inom akutsjukvård arbetar under högt tempo och med många patienter. Det är ett arbete som kräver ett känslomässigt engagemang. Långvarig och upprepad exponering för patienters lidande och trauman kan leda till emotionell utmattning och påverka sjuksköterskans empatiska förmåga. Emotionella, kognitiva och beteendemässiga förändringar hos sjuksköterskan leder till konsekven

In less than two decades, online dating services have gone from being seen as a marginal and stigmatised practice, to being a regular activity in people's social and romantic lives. This thesis intends to examine Swedish attitudes towards the digital phenomena of online dating and online dating services. The study was conducted through a quantitative method in the form of an online survey, wit

Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.

The intention was at first to design a toy with support and feedback from Brio and so on a visit to their head office in Malmö took place in the beginning of the project. After the visit and further reading about the subject, the project took a different turn. The most interesting aspect of toys became play and the feeling of it; playfulness. The focus hence became on an emotion instead off an

Abstrakt Bakgrund: Stroke är den vanligaste orsaken till funktionshinder i världen och både prevention och akuta behandlingar har förbättrats. Trots framsteg inom strokevården lider personer av funktionsnedsättningar. Känslomässiga reaktioner som chock, rädsla, ångest, ilska och sorg är vanligt efter en stroke, och några patienter upplever att de psykosociala behoven inte tillgodoses av person

This thesis explores the potential of integrating predicted founder personalities, based on the Big 5 Personality Framework, into Machine Learning (ML) models to enhance the accuracy of early-stage startup success predictions. Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, we extracted personality insights from founders' tweets, focusing on US startups funded between 2013 and 2015. O

Background: Alleviating poverty is critical for achieving sustainability (Zomorrodi et al., 2019). One business approach to alleviate poverty is the Bottom of the pyramid (BoP) approach which implies engaging the poor in doing business, and including them into supply chains with both profitability and poverty alleviation as objectives (Brix-Asala et al., 2021). The populations living in the BoP ar

This thesis investigates how methods of aerodynamic validation can assist a formula student team in designing their aerodynamic package. When de- signing their aerodynamic components, formula student team mostly rely on CFD software simulations, but there is no guarantee that the simulations de- pict properly the physical behaviour of the airflow around the car. For that, aerodynamic validation is
