This chapter describes and analyzes the public relations strategies and practices of a public organization, a local rescue services, in the process of establishing credibility and building trust in multicultural areas. The trust-building efforts are a response to several years of social unrest, communicative clashes and hostile treatment between operative firemen and residents in certain areas. Th
Coloniality persistently prevails in the many aspects of today’s societies, including identity constructions. However, the role of the Nordic region in colonialism and its continuous consequences has been severely downplayed, if not ignored, not least in connection to Finland. Thus, this research explores the visibilities of coloniality in social identity constructions in the context of Finland. A
The aim of this report is to investigate the possibilities of an automated process which will identify and separate worn out granules and thus ensure an optimum cleaning performance. Research shows that some users are not following the recommendations regarding when to change Granules, leading to reduced performance and a reduction in sales. The first phase of the project involves studying how th
This study explores narratives about gambling problems and experiences of "rock bottom" through interviews with ten participants. The analysis generated three main themes. In A bumpy road-Plunging toward "rock bottom," participants described hitting "rock bottom" as something to avoid or being dragged there by self-hatred or dedication. In A split existence-Being at the "rock bottom," the expe

Lantbruket rankas konsekvent som en av de mest riskfyllda sektorerna i Sverige såväl som i många andra delar av världen. Förutom lidande för den enskilde beräknas dödliga och icke dödliga skador i svenskt lantbruk kosta samhället 2 – 3 miljarder kr per år. I Sverige inträffade det cirka 5 000 olyckor på jordbruksföretag 2004. Detta innebar att minst en olycka inträffade på 8% av svenska gårdar som
OBJECTIVE: Identifying maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) in pediatric populations close to diabetes diagnosis is difficult. Misdiagnosis and unnecessary insulin treatment are common. We aimed to identify the discriminatory clinical features at diabetes diagnosis of patients with glucokinase (GCK), hepatocyte nuclear factor-1A (HNF1A), and HNF4A MODY in the pediatric population.RESEARCH D
This paper provides insights into the handling of climate change issues related to cultural heritage at different government decision levels dealing with physical planning, and in particular roads. Data are derived from a qualitative analysis of official reports and interviews with local and regional planners in three Swedish regions with contrasting climates. The theoretical lens of Institutional
In this paper we consider scattering resonance computations in optics when the resonators consist of frequency dependent and lossy materials, such as metals at optical frequencies. The proposed computational approach combines a novel hp-FEM strategy, based on dispersion analysis for complex frequencies, with a fast implementation of the nonlinear eigenvalue solver NLEIGS. Numerical computations il
När brott begås mot djur, när de blir illa behandlade eller när en djurhållare bryter mot ett djurförbud kan länsstyrelsen fatta beslut att omhänderta djuren från djurhållaren. Om djurhållaren överklagar beslutet kan det innebära att djuren stannar kvar hos djurhållaren under en pågående rättsprocess, trots att personen förelagts med ett beslut om djurförbud. Uppsatsen utreder hur det är möjligt When crimes are committed against animals by their owners, when they are mistreated, or when an animalkeeper violates an animalban, the Swedish agency Länsstyrelsen has the authority to decide to confiscate the animals from the animalkeeper. However, in some cases the owner will remain in custody of the animal during a legal process despite being issued an animalban, in violation of the decision o
This thesis analyzes Sweden's decision to apply for NATO membership in the spring of 2022, making a historic shift from 200 years of military non-alignment. The study uses Jakob Gustavsson's theoretical model for foreign policy change to examine three main factors: international and national dynamics, as well as the role of the individual decision-maker, in this case being former prime Min
Hypothyroidism is a common disease involving diverse physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms impacting many aspects of functioning. The indicated treatment produces significant improvements but leaves many with residual symptoms that significantly impair functioning. Numerous patient surveys reveal high levels of dissatisfaction with the treatment and healthcare professionals. Less well unders
Due to technological advances and innovations, the phenomenon of media multitasking and multiscreening, i.e. simultaneous or sequential use of multiple screens, has emerged and become a global trend affecting the consumer behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how different media and devices impact the Consumer Information Processing Model as the current research within t
Livsmedelsindustrin har stor miljömässig påverkan och uppfyller inte de krav som ställs för att industrin ska betraktas som hållbar. Konsumenterna är en av de viktigaste intressenterna för att kunna implementera hållbar konsumtion. Genom att studera och analysera hur konsumenter skapar värde fås ökad förståelse för vad som driver hållbar konsumtion i livsmedelsindustrin ur konsumentperspektivet. S
This thesis examines the concept of accessibility within the context of Skåne's transport planning. The primary objectives of this study are two-fold: firstly, to understand the meaning of accessibility as outlined in Region Skåne's strategies; and secondly, to analyze the influence of regional priorities and planning processes on the practices of key stakeholders, namely Region Skåne and
This thesis investigates whether the share of female legislative representation on a national level has an impact on public expenditure on social issues such as health care, education and elderly care. Using panel data primarily from the Comparative Welfare States dataset I perform a within-country analysis over time using both OLS and IV estimations. I use two instruments, laws on gender quota an
Through a case study of Västra Hamnen in Malmö, this paper seeks to investigate the goal conflicts that exist between walking, cycling and public transport as modes of transportation. It also aims to analyze how the city’s traffic planning has worked with a child perspective in the handling of these goal conflicts, through a comparison with the tradition of advocacy planning. Following an analysis
