The aim of this study was to examine how school counsellors perceived their role within the schools various work against bullying and which impact their work environment had on their role. Because the study aimed to study the school counsellor's role, a role theory was used to analyse the empirical material. This was a qualitative study done through five semistructured interviews with school c
The aim of this study was to explore first line managers experiences with their span of control and how this affected their working environment. The method used for this study was qualitative interviews with five first line managers within service housing. Hans Selyes definition of stress was used to analyze the empirical data and Peter Währborgs more developed and modern definition helped making
Denna studie gjordes för att få en förståelse för vikten av 12 vattenkällor som finns i Vomb biosfärområdet. För att göra det, genomfördes en ekosystemtjänstanalys som inkluderade de fyra följande typerna av ekosystemtjänster: försörjande, stödjande, reglerande och kulturella tjänster. Ekosystemtjänstanalysen gjordes med hjälp av indikatorer för varje tjänst. Ett slutresultat baserat på status förThis study was done to gain an understanding of the importance of 12 water sources that are in the Vomb biosphere reserve. To do so, an ecosystem services analysis that included the four following types of ecosystem services: provisioning, supporting, regulating, and cultural services, was conducted. The ecosystem services analysis was done by using indicators for each service. A final score base
Det första av mina två syften var att undersöka huruvida det finns en könsrelaterad diskrepans gällande operasångares försörjningsmöjligheter. Jag samlade in empiri om antalet arbetstillfällen per röstfack och könsfördelningen vid operautbildningar, samt genomförde en enkätundersökning om hur tidigare studenter vid Sveriges operahögskolor försörjer sig. Slutsatsen kunde dras att det finns en stor
Bumblebees (Bombus terrestris) are central place foragers, that have been shown to use path integration based vectors to navigate their environment. They also have remarkable learning and memory abilities, and can readily learn different cues. Recently, a behavioural assay has been developed that allows for rigorous testing of these mechanisms in a laboratory setting. This thesis aimed to use this
Following the Paris agreement of 2015, the latest reports of the IPCC, exacerbated by the lingering impacts of the Covid crisis and the recent war of aggression of Russia on Ukraine, the European Union is proposing an ambitious set of rules and regulations aimed at making Europe the first climate neutral continent by 2050. As a part of this so-called European Green Deal, the Fit for 55 package was
The objective of this thesis is to analyze the predictive power of the cryptocurrency limit order book for return predictions. The analysis is performed for the BTC/USD and ETH/USD directional 10-second returns, using limit order book data from three of the largest cryptocurrency spot exchanges. The analysis employs the Random forest algorithm as a classification problem. The results demonstrate t
Godstransporter är livsviktiga för att en stad och stadslivet ska fungera, men sättet som godstransporter genomförs idag är inte hållbart. Det finns få riktlinjer på hur transporterna ska ske och riskfyllda situationer uppstod. Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka problem i bilfria områden i centrumnära stadsmiljö, samt att komma med rekommendationer på hur det kan utvecklas utifrån dagens Urban freight transportation is crucial for the functioning of a city and city life. However, the way urban freight transportation is occurring is unsustainable since there are few regulations and dangerous situations easily arise. The purpose of the thesis was to examine transportation in car-free areas and identify the associated problems, guidelines and explore potential solutions to the identi
This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f
En kvasi-experimentell studie med mixed design användes för att utforska effekten av en endags utbildningsintervention i Acceptance- and Commitment Therapy (ACT) för personal inom barnpsykiatrisk slutenvård. Variablerna som undersöktes var psykologisk flexibilitet, symtom på generell psykisk ohälsa, självmedkänsla och antal sjukdagar. Vidare undersökte studien hur effekten utvecklades över tid för
An industry in distress was the breeding ground for a noted pricing strategy, labeled name-your-price. The industry was the music industry and the pricing strategy bears reminiscence of how medieval buskers earned their living during the dark ages; by letting the customers decide how much the good was worth, embodied by a thrown coin into a hat or similar collector. Translated into the contemporar
A higher levels of insulin antibodies has been seen with diabetes patients who inhale insulin instead of injecting it subcutaneously, which is the most common way to take insulin. Whether or not this increased level of insulin antibodies affect the patients condition is not fully investigated in all aspects. This essay aims to, in different ways describe and analyse if a higher level of insulin an
This thesis investigates how gender equality is represented in the regional development policy in Swedish region Skåne. Drawing from a discursive perspective it sees policy as a process in which both problems and solutions are given shape. A method for policy analysis developed by political scientist Carol Bacchi; “What’s the problem represented to be?” is used in the analysis. The method is suppl
