Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste

The entrepreneurial pitch plays an integral role in attracting financial capital for a new venture. Notably, previous research has shown that (1) female entrepreneurs are often subjected to discriminatory practices when applying for external capital and (2) entrepreneurs’ communication skills and personal attributes influence investor decision making. Building on these findings, this study explore

The Nigerian economy grew at an average rate of 7% between 20002011. However, recent drop in oil prices has led to calls for economic diversification away from oil. Using the services-led growth theoretical framework, this thesis provides an overview of the Nigerian service-sector. Through an analysis of descriptive statistics, the thesis showed that services have been contributing significantly t

A barrier option is a financial derivative whose payoff depends on the underlying asset breaching a predefined barrier level. Compared to vanilla options, barrier options are less expensive and may be customized for specific risk management strategies or strategic financial applications. In practice, the underlying asset is monitored only at discrete times, yet accurate and efficient pricing of di

Detta examensarbete är ett samarbete med Region Skåne för att adressera den brist på strukturerade estimeringsmetoder som finns för projekt inom avdelningen “Digitalisering IT och MT”. Fokus har varit att skapa ett Proof of Concept (POC) i Excel som ska fungera som en grund för planering och genomförande av tester inom testavdelningen. Testprocessen i Region Skåne består av fyra faser: initiera, pThis thesis project is a collaboration with Region Skåne aimed at addressing the lack of structured estimation methods for projects within the "Digitalization IT and MT" department. The focus was on creating a Proof of Concept (POC) in Excel to serve as a foundation for planning and conducting tests within the testing department. The testing process at Region Skåne consists of four phase

Under de senaste decennierna har det noterats en ökning i användningen av betong och armering i svenskt brobyggande. Utvecklingen har starka kopplingar till den förändring av byggnormer som skett, framförallt införandet av Eurokoden år 2011. Vår studie undersöker trender i materialanvändning i plattrambroar över 50 år och sambandet mellan materialanvändning och plattrambroars skadetillstånd.Over the past few decades, a notable increase in the utilization of steel reinforcement and concrete has been observed in bridge construction in Sweden. This trend is partly explained by changes in regulations, such as the adoption of Eurocode standards. To understand the reason behind this significantly increased usage in materials, a quantitative analysis of the steel and concrete used in concre

Infärgning av vita blodkroppar för att möjliggöra blodanalys Kvantifiering av vita blodkroppar kan vara en snabb och enkel lösning på att diagnostisera olika sjukdomstillstånd. Genom att färga in de vita blodkropparna i ett blodprov kan man lättare analysera dem och då få kunskap om hur de ser ut och kunna räkna dem. Men vilken färg är faktiskt bäst för att färga in vita blodkroppar och vad finns

The aim of this thesis is to explore jets traversing the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP)created in Pb-Pb collisions. This is done in the simulation program XSCAPE with a center of mass energy of 2.76 TeV. By categorising the jets by their azimuthal angle with respect to the event plane angle, the path length dependence of the energy loss was studied. The path length classification was described with the

Denna uppsats har som syfte att med en innehållsanalys som metod analysera förekomsten av kränkande skämt i komediserien How I Met Your Mother och att synliggöra skämtens skadliga effekter. Den teoretiska bakgrunden för uppsatsen består av Judith Butlers teorier om performativitet och queerteori samt Claire Horisk teori om skadliga skämt. Uppsatsen besvarar två frågor som formulerats enligt följaThis essay uses a content analysis method to analyze the occurrence of offensive jokes in the comedy show How I Met Your Mother and to highlight the harmful effects of the jokes. The theoretical background for the essay consists of Judith Butler's theories of performativity and queer theory as well as Claire Horisk's theory of dangerous jokes. The essay answers two questions formulated as

This study investigates the potential loss of memory details as a consequence of making successful associative inferences using the associative inference (AI) paradigm with naturalistic stimuli mimicking realistic interactions (AB,BC,and AC). It also aims to further our understanding of the mechanisms involved in the production of integrated memory representations—whether through integrative encod

This essay gives insight into fatherhoods relationships with societal issues often connected with masculinity by researching the effect of paternity leave on male suicide, domestic violence, and general violence in Sweden. Correlation analysis and linear regression was used on governmental data over Sweden’s municipalities. The results confirm implications of previous literature in that that highe

Purpose: Brand public is a new theory developed as a brand communication on social media. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the value creation of brand public in contrast to the values created by brand community Methodology: We apply a postmodern perspective and our study is constructionistic, therefore we have selected the qualitative approach called netnography. Theoretical Perspectives: We dr

Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna. EU

The study examines how non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Khartoum, Sudan work to address gender-based violence (GBV) and how they relate to international human rights law (IHRL) in the process. Emphasis is placed on how the over-politicization of GBV is hindering NGOs from effectively using IHRL as a tool. The results are based on qualitative field research, with in-depth interviews conduct

Heavy traffic loads on the California highways have given birth to the development of automated highways. With vehicles traveling without human interaction, tighter spacing between cars canbeachieved without jeopardizng safety, leading to improved highway throughput. Since no human driver is present to make judgements about velocity and spacing, knowing the road condition is important in order to

Recent high quality printers pose interesting questions on how to reproduce images taken by a video camera. A modern ink jet plotter has typically a resolution four times better than a good video camera. Pixel replication and bilinear interpolation give reasonable results, but have a tendency to blur the image. In contrast to these blurring phenomena, it is well known that the apparent visual qual
