The purpose of this study is to examine the ways in which health care counsellors in psychiatry for adults relate to the requirement of wearing white work clothes and how the white work clothes affect the psychosocial conversation. No previous research has been found on this matter in a Swedish context or for health care counsellors in particular. In this study, seven health care counsellors who w
The aim of the study is to compare the environmental performance in terms of Global Warming Potential (GWP), for reused bricks and newly manufactured bricks used in Swedish Construction Industry. The objective of the study was to compile and conduct Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), in terms of GWP, of newly manufactured and reused clay façade bricks used in Sweden. Cradle-to-cradle lifecycle impact of
Syftet med studien var att undersöka behandlares subjektiva upplevelse av hur behandling och hjälpsökande kan underlättas för unga män med psykisk ohälsa. Data genererades genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer med elva deltagare. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades genom en kritisk-realistisk och reflexiv tematisk analys. Tre huvudteman identifierades. Det första temat “Har unga män särskiThe aim of this study was to examine counselors’ subjective experience of how to facilitate psychological treatment and help seeking among young men with mental illness. Data was generated through semi-structured interviews with eleven participants. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using a critical-realist and reflective thematic analysis. Three main themes were identified. The first t
In working to reduce this increasingly intensified effect of climate change, one of the key strategies employed by different countries around the world is to reduce Green House Gas (GHG) emissions from the energy sector. As they are one of the biggest contributors, the strategies include the employment of different mitigation actions and fading away from the conventional fossil fuel source to a mo
By utilising a narrative analysis, this qualitative study takes a historical perspective on the impact of political unrest and political violence on Thailand’s economic development from 1970 to 2020. The study identifies the key state actors in Thailand’s political sphere as well as their relation to each other. Furthermore, the study classifies five ‘eras’ in the reviewed period and identifies di
Rushed efforts for a decarbonisation of the energy sector in Catalonia, Spain have been received with local opposition towards renewable energy projects. It has also raised a debate around the new energy model and whether it will perpetuate the lack of agency of civil society in the energy sector as well as the vulnerable situation some people are currently facing. This thesis examines whether ren
Kvinnor som förövare har historiskt sett varit ett relativt outforskat ämne. Den kriminologiska forskningen har utgått från studier på män samt utveck-lat teorier baserade på män. Kriminellt beteende har setts som avvikande från normativa föreställningar kring det kvinnliga könet och femininiteter. Ett specifikt kriminellt beteende som kan sägas än mer avvika från norma-tiva femininiteter är då kv
Determining eligibility for financial aid is an ambiguous task for social workers, according to research. Social workers are expected to support clients in taking part of social welfare, while at the same time ensuring work requirement participation. The aim of the study was to investigate this ambiguous task from a client perspective. The study was based on data that was gathered from seven semi-
In order to develop indicators measuring the most important aspects of fire safety, the initial approach undertaken was to identify the fire safety components that have the largest importance to a building’s overall fire safety, and to let these components form the basis for the indicator development. Through the use of a Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) methodology with a hierarchical appro
This study analyses the performance of the satellite derived Plant Phenology Index (PPI) against the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) for estimating start of season (SOS) and end of season (EOS) of vegetation growth in part of the Balkan Peninsula, Southeastern Europe (2000 – 2016). Results revealed that PPI and NDVI differ considerably; SOS and EOS may diverge by more than one month
If people understand how social media works, as an important new element of mass media, they can use social media advertising and social network strategies as a tool for helping environmental awareness in societies and communities. Social media can work as a tool to help consumers and companies detect when companies use greenwashing in their campaigns and in the information delivered about their p
Sierra Leone has struggled with high rates of adolescent pregnancy for some time and reports have shown an increase in these figures during and following the unprecedented Ebola Virus Disease outbreak from 2014 through 15. As young girls are impregnated, it has long been customary for girls to drop out of school. When schools re-opened after the Ebola crisis, this practice was formalized as the Mi
År 2015 meddelades en dom från Högsta domstolen som medförde att sexualbrott inte längre ses som egenhändiga brott. Ett sexuellt övergrepp kan således begås på distans, där offret utför den sexuella handlingen på sig själv. Våren 2016 prövades i tingsrätt frågan om även våldtäkt mot barn kunde begås på distans. Övergreppen bedömdes dock istället som sexuellt övergrepp mot barn. Uppsatsen syftar tiIn 2015 the Supreme Court announced that a perpetrator of a sexual offence no longer has to perform the sexual act in person to be held accountable for the deed. Thus, sexual assault can be committed when a child is coerced into performing a sexual act on themselves. During the spring of 2016 the question whether a perpetrator, based on the statement from the Supreme Court, could be held responsib
Barnäktenskap och tvångsäktenskap är sedvänjor som globalt betraktas som skadliga och därför aktivt motarbetas av det internationella samfundet. I svensk rätt anses äktenskapet vara en angelägenhet för de berörda individerna och åldersgränsen för ingående är 18 år. Ett utländskt barnäktenskap där någon av parterna har anknytning till Sverige erkänns inte. Ett barnäktenskap utan sådan anknytning erChild marriages and forced marriages are customs that are globally regarded as harmful and therefore actively opposed by the international community. In Swedish law, marriage is a matter for the concerned individuals only and the age limit for entering a marriage is 18 years. A child marriage originating in a foreign country is not recognized in Sweden if any of the spouses has ties to Sweden. A f
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att undersöka den processuella gången som följer då poliser begår våldsbrott i tjänst. Förfarandet innebär processer i flera instanser vilket leder till en rad problem, inte minst ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv. Målet har varit att undersöka förfarandet så som det ser ut idag, att identifiera eventuella problem och att söka lösningar på dessa. Polisens aThe aim of this master thesis has been to examine the court proceedings when policemen commit violent crimes at work. The procedure involves processes in multiple instances causing a range of problems. The goal has been to investigate the procedure as it is today, to identify potential problems and to seek solutions to these problems. The police has a complex role in society and their work assig
Bakgrund: Våld i nära relation utgör ett folkhälsoproblem samt är en kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter. Mödrahälsovården i Sverige är ålagd att rutinmässigt fråga gravida kvinnor om våldsutsatthet. Tidigare forskning visar att mödrahälsovårdsbarnmorskan kan uppleva ett flertal hinder mot att ställa frågan. Våldsutsatta gravida kvinnor drabbas oftare av obstetriska komplikationer som kräver sluten
Many of our cities have problems with air pollution and it have been shown to cause a lot of damage to human health. There are different kinds of air pollution, some are gaseous air pollutions like NOx or ground-level ozone and other air pollutions are particles. NOx forms in high temperatures from combustion processes like in a car motor. Ground-level ozone form in combination with NOx, hydrocarb
