Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in Swedish media coverage concerning criminal record checks. Trade union organizations in many sectors express concern about the growing application of such background checks during recruitment processes. Various actors, from individuals in the labor market to state institutions such as the Swedish Prison and Probation Service and the Public Employmen
The environmental impact of mankind significantly affects the climate, where 2/3 of the CO2 emissions are generated by transportation. The green transition of fuels needs to happen fast, and finding alternative options to generate, store and transform energy is important. Hydrogen powered fuel cells can combust hydrogen to generate electricity, with only water as a byproduct. At ambient temperatur
Study purpose: This study explores how Floating Container Terminals (FCTs) located in the North and Baltic Seas can support the maritime shipping industry's growth while promoting sustainability. As freight transportation volumes rise and sustainability regulations tighten, ports face increasing demands to accommodate Ultra-Large Container Vessels (ULCVs) in an environmentally responsible mann
Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor är skyldiga att göra barn delaktiga i samtal och beslut enligt barnkonventionen. Delaktighet innebär att barn har rätt att bli tilldelad adekvat information anpassad efter ålder och mognad, få sin röst hörd och att bli lyssnad på samt ha självbestämmande och inflytande. Barn och ungdomar som får vara delaktig känner glädje, lugn och en känsla av kontroll. Vid bristande del
Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att undersöka psykoterapeuters erfarenhet av existentiella frågor i behandling. Studien utforskar med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer och tematisk analys hur deltagarna upplever att de existentiella villkoren döden, meningslöshet, ensamhet och frihet påverka patienterna Den undersöker även hur psykologer arbetar med dessa frågor i terapi samt vilken effekThis qualitative study aims to explore psychotherapists' experiences of existential concerns in treatment. Using semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, the study examines how participants perceive the existential givens death, meaninglessness, isolation, and freedom to have influenced their clients. The study also investigates how psychologists address these themes in therapy and th
This study explores the relationships between voltage, temperature, and consumed life in silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs using symbolic regression as a data-driven tool for deriving interpretable equations. The data comes from an accelerated life-time test performed by RISE. The symbolic regression model was implemented using the open source program ”PySR”. Since real experimental data were used, cl
The rise of AI is leading to paradigm shifts in every sector of modern society, including the military. One concerning change is the increase in the development, testing, and deployment of autonomous weapons systems (AWS), which utilise modern AI without adequate controlling regulation or governance. This thesis explores what it means to have control of AWS and whether it is possible to effectivel
Aortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s
In this thesis, an experimental scheme to probe deformations to Heisenberg's uncertainty relation between position and momentum for an object of mass similar to the Planck mass is designed. This will allow experimental bounds to be put on deformation parameters for three different models proposed to explain quantum gravity. The scheme is based on existing ideas to couple a micron-sized harmoni
Examensarbetets titel: Krisens språk: Svenska storbankers redovisningskommunikation under finanskrisen 2008 Seminariedatum: 16 januari 2025 Kurs: FEKH69, Examensarbete i redovisning på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Axel Agardh, Erik Bjurwill och Melvin Rune Handledare: Niklas Sandell Nyckelord: Finanskris, redovisningskommunikation, accountteori, framing, storytelling Forskningsf
Fracture-mechanics-based avalanche failure modeling offers a promising approach for predicting slope-specific snow stability, as opposed to broader regional avalanche danger levels. Understanding slab avalanche failure through weak layer collapse, governed by both material strength and toughness, is rooted in the coupled criterion proposed by Leguillion. This thesis implements a novel algorithm to
Sammanfattning Titel: Nyckeltalen som Nycklar till Avkastning - En empirisk analys av sambandet mellan finansiella nyckeltal och avkastning på Stockholmsbörsen Seminariedatum: 16 januari 2025 Ämne/Kurs: FEKH89, Examensarbete i Finansiering på kandidatnivå Författare: Nikita Atanasovski, Albin Degrér, Pontus Klingberg Handledare: Maria Gårdängen Nyckelord: Finansiella nyckeltal, Aktieavkastni
Waste picking is a means of survival for thousands of individuals in Istanbul and together the city’s waste pickers make a substantial contribution to the recycling sector. However, they have struggled to gain recognition as recycling providers and have suffered from legislation criminalizing their source of livelihood. 2022 marks a shift where a new regulation was adopted, allowing waste pickers
Through the tight link between plants and their pollinators, plant species often decline when their pollinators decline and vice versa. These nominal declines are well studied for many plant-pollinator networks. Less well known is the effect that the decline of a plant species has on the behaviour of its pollinators, and how potential changes in pollinator behaviour affect the reproductive success
Land-use change is one of the main drivers of pollinator declines. However, studies on land-use changes in forest landscapes and their effects on pollinators are underrepresented. Canopy openings with flowering resources and old-growth forest structures can provide sufficient habitats for pollinating insects such as bees (Apiformes) and longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae). However, managed forests are
In this study, the lanthanide complexes Sm(HMDS)2 (1), Yb(HMDS)2 (2), Sm(Cp*)2 (3), and Yb(Cp*)2 (4) were synthesized, and a new polymorph of 2 was identified via single- crystal X-ray diffraction (sc-XRD). Additionally, the previously unreported Yb(III) compound [YbI2(OPPh3)4]I was discovered as a probable disproportionation product of YbI2(OPPh3)4 and characterized via 31P{1H} NMR spectroscopy a
The chemical industry is particularly resource-intensive, consuming a substantial portion of petroleum resources and significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, there is an urgent need to explore sustainable alternatives. Biomass has emerged as a promising renewable resource. The dehydration of biomass-derived carbohydrates has proven to be an effective method, producing
Med 2024 officiellt uppmätt som det varmaste året hitills är klimatförändringarna och behovet av att minska utsläppen är mer aktuella än någonsin. Sveriges viktigaste uppgift i denna utmaning är att effektivt elektrifiera sina två största källor till koldioxidutsläpp: industrin och transportsektorn. Dessa två sektorer står tillsammans för hela 65 % av landets utsläpp. Elektrifieringen förväntas leThere is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions in Sweden, primarily caused by industry and the transport sector, which together accounted for nearly 65% of the country's total CO2 emissions in 2023. A key solution to this challenge is the rapid and effective implementation of green electrification, which involves transitioning industry and transportation to electricity and electricity-based f
