Kopplade differentialekvationer förekommer överallt inom vetenskapens värld. Några sådana exempel är för beräkning av värmeinteraktioner mellan två olika material, luftflödet runt en vinge och blodflödet i ett hjärta. Ett mer specifikt exempel är raketmotorer som riktar ett kraftigt gasflöde med ett munstycke. Detta munstycke blir deformerat på grund av värme och högt lufttryck. Dessa ändringar i This thesis presents and tests the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann algorithm for two Poisson equations coupled by transmission boundary conditions. Three second order discretisation methods are used when analyzing the convergence: standard equidistant finite difference, standard adaptive linear finite element, and standard adaptive finite volume discretisation of Poisson's equation.

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa ökar i Sverige och alternativa behandlingsmetoder efterfrågas alltmer. Dock är evidensen bristfällig och trots att hästunderstödd rehabilitering är en aktivitetsbaserad rehabiliteringsform är arbetsterapeutisk forskning inom området nästintill obefintlig. Syfte: Att granska befintlig evidens avseende hästunderstödd rehabilitering för personer med psykisk ohälsa, med stöd aBackground: Mental illness is increasing in Sweden and more alternative rehabilitation methods are requested. The research is however inadequate and even though equine-assisted therapy is an activity-based rehabilitation form, the occupational therapy research on the matter is nearly non-existent. Aim: The aim of this study was to overview the existing evidence for equine-assisted therapy for pers

This study describes three young men and four young women and their quest for identity in a culture they, for many reasons, never seriously considered to be their own.

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011,the number of Syrian refugees reached approximately 3 million; nearly half of them are children. Although primary education has always been available, education services for Syrian refugees were subject to frequent changes particularly between 2011-2014. The biggest and most significant step was taken in the 2016/2017 school year as a result of long-

This thesis aims to provide a case study for a critical theory of mythopoetics, via analysis of four ‘Brexit narratives’: The Bad Boys of Brexit by Arron Banks, Unleashing Demons by Craig Oliver, All Out War by Tim Shipman and The Brexit Club by Owen Bennett. My objective is to demonstrate the prevalence of mythopoetics in political and historical discourse, via analysis of four competing politica

Studiens syfte var att observera och beskriva hur fotbollstränare i en förening i södra Skåne agerar gentemot spelare i ett flicklag och pojklag. Utefter detta utformades studien samt uppsatsen. Vi använde oss av en öppen observation som design och ett observationsschema som instrument. Observationsschemat inspirerades av något äldre, tidigare forskning (Young, 1980; Andreasson, 2007; Fundberg, 20The study’s purpose was to observe and describe how football coaches in a club in southern Skåne acted towards players in a girls team and a boys team. The study and the paper was designed according to this purpose. We used an open observation as design and an observing schedule as an instrument.
