In this study five upper-secondary school teachers have been interviewed on their methods for teaching on and integrating aspects of sex education in their respective subjects. The aim has been to examine how participants relate to norm-critical aspects that are part of the general syllabus and guidelines on teaching sex education as well as how their methods relate to non-normative and anti-oppre
Purpose: Exploring the possibilities and critical aspects of mobile self-checkout to enhance value creation and customer satisfaction for physical retailer Research question: How can value be (co-)created between a big box retailer and its customers through a mobile self-checkout solution? Theoretical considerations: After the evaluation of the current literature in value (co-)creation, customer
This paper tests the “Square Root Rule” (the SRR), a Basel sanctioned method of scaling 1-day Value At risk to higher time horizons. The SRR has come under serious assault from leading researchers focusing on its week theoretical basis: assuming i.i.d. asset returns. I performed an empirical test of the SRR on the 10-day horizon, the maximum horizon allowed by Basel, comparing SRR performance to d
Denna studie behandlar bemanningsföretag, och mer specifikt vilken roll de har i dagens vårdsektor i Sverige. Diskussionen har avgränsats till att främst behandla hyrläkare. Min ansats är att få en överblick över fenomenet, samt undersöka varför det vuxit fram:
• Var finns hyrläkarna och vilken eventuell problematik finns kring dem
• Varför använder sig de svenska landstingen av hyrläkar
This thesis investigates the implementation of the digital euro, focusing on university students' trust and awareness in the Benelux region. The study addresses a gap in the existing literature by exploring perceptions among students in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. Through a quantitative survey of 390 respondents, the research examines if awareness of the digital euro predicts tru
Receding glaciers are among the most obvious changes caused by global warming, and glacial meltwater entering lakes generally forms plumes of particles. By taking vertical samples along a horizontal gradient from such a particle source, we found that photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and ultraviolet radiation (UVR) attenuated 20-25% faster close to the inflow of suspended particles compare
Pollinators are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem services but face growing threats from climate change. Microclimates may buffer these impacts by providing localized climatic refugia. I assessed community-level and body size-dependent responses of bees, butterflies, and hoverflies to microclimatic temperature, humidity, wind, and structural shelter in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sw
Bakgrund: Antalet människor som på olika sätt påverkas av naturkatastrofer, krig eller konflikter ökar. Dessa katastrofsituationer medför att de som drabbas får inskränkt möjlighet att engagera sig i viktiga och meningsfulla aktiviteter. Arbetsterapeuter har kompetens om hur person, miljö och aktivitet samspelar och kan bidra till arbetet i samband med katastrofsituationer och med katastrofdrabbadBackground: The number of people affected by natural disasters, war, or conflicts is increasing. These disaster situations limit the ability of those affected to engage in important and meaningful activities. Occupational therapists have expertise in how person, environment, and activity interact and can contribute to efforts related to disaster situations and people affected by them. Aim: The aim
Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose
Climate change pushes species toward higher latitudes and altitudes, but the proximate drivers of range expansions vary, and it is unclear whether evolution facilitates climate change–induced range changes. In a temporally replicated field experiment, we trans-located wall brown butterflies (Lasiommata megera) descending from range interior and range margin populations to sites at 1) the range int
Purpose: Tau pathology is associated with concurrent atrophy and decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but less is known about their temporal relationships. Our aim was therefore to investigate the association of concurrent and longitudinal tau PET with longitudinal changes in atrophy and relative CBF. Methods: We included 61 individuals from the Amsterdam Dementia Cohor
This book is about projectification – a concept that captures the increasing reliance on “the project” in contemporary societies, governance and economies. Despite its significance, this development and transformation, not only of public and private organizations but also our working environment and way of living, has received little scholarly attention compared to other major societal movements.
Precision agriculture and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are revolutionizing agriculture management methods. Remote sensing data, image analysis and Digital Surface Models derived from Structure from Motion and Multi-View Stereopsis offer new and fast methods to detect the needs of crops, greatly improving crops efficiency. In this study, we present a tool to detect and estimate crop damage after
The first years of life are a critical period of development, and circumstances during this period can affect individuals throughout life. But to what extent do disadvantaged circumstances in childhood affect individual wellbeing in later life and for whom? Can interventions in childhood break adversity over the life course? For whom are interventions most effective and why?This thesis aims to invThe first years of life are a critical period of development, and circumstances during this period can affect individuals throughout life.

Background: MR-generated acoustic noise may be particularly concerning at 7-Tesla (T) systems. Noise levels can be reduced by altering gradient output using software optimization. However, such alterations might influence image quality or prolong scan times, and these optimizations have not been well characterized. Purpose: To evaluate image quality, sound pressure levels (SPLs), and perceived noi
Aim: How the ability of plants to move towards newly favourable habitats (dispersal limitation) impacts the change of biome distribution and transition under fast climate warming is still debated. Analysing vegetation change in the past may help to clarify the relative importance of underlying ecological processes such as climate, biotic interactions, and dispersal. In this study, we investigated
Vilken betydelse har det förvetenskapliga för vetenskapen? Vilka betydelser kan det ha? Ska vi som forskare eftersträva största möjliga vetenskaplighet från början till slut? Annorlunda uttryckt: Ska vi metodiskt trycka bort våra förvetenskapliga impulser? Eller ska vi tvärtom välkomna dem? Att följa varje förvetenskaplig impuls, var vi än befinner oss i forskningsprocessen, skulle förmodligen få
