The present study investigated the relationship between excessive social media usage in everyday life and autobiographical memory recollection. Previous studies have investigated the effect of social media on autobiographical memory in terms of distinct events, while research regarding the cumulative effect of this is lacking, which is the main focus of the present study. This was investigated by
The purpose of this study is to distinguish and understand the challenges of working within Swedens' National Board of Institutional Cares juvenile institutions and how the treatment assistants handle these challenges. Treatment assistants who work at SiS (Statens institutionsstyrelse) juvenile institutions are their shifts locked in with juveniles who have a wide range of norm-breaking behavi
Byggsektorn står idag för 40 % av energianvändningen i EU samtidigt som 36 % av växthusgasutsläppen i EU kommer från byggnader. Att förbättra byggnaders energiprestanda är av stor vikt för att uppnå nationella och internationella klimatmål. Ett viktigt redskap för att förutspå en byggnads energiprestanda är energimodellering. Att kunna göra energiberäkningar med hög noggrannhet i tidigt skede ger The building sector is responsible for 40 % of the energy use in the EU today and improving the energy performance of buildings is essential to fulfill the national and international climate agreements. One important tool used in energy performance predictions is modeling. The aim of this study is to evaluate how precise an energy calculation can be and what factors influence the performance gap b
According to the UCDP database, roughly 60% of all armed conflicts between 1944 and 2016 have recurred, an issue which has become increasingly incorporated into the framework of United Nations peacekeeping operations. Economist Paul Collier has theorized upon the importance of economic recovery for building sustainable peace, proposing that economic recovery should be the true exit point of UN pea
Increasing cross-border interaction in the border regions combined with the largely state-centric legislative processes of the nation states, have unfolded a demand for border regional actors to attempt to influence the state level to change legislation, as barriers are identified for individuals and companies. Adapting a border regional perspective, the actors and organisational methods to remove
Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva vilka föreställningar chefer har angående vilka kompetenser som krävs för att göra karriär i Sverige. Genom empirin fann vi att ett antal olika kompetenser är nödvändiga för att göra karriär i Sverige. För att bli en av dem som kommer på tal när en chefstjänst ska tillsättas krävs att rätt personer uppmärksammar en individs prestation. Det krävs även rätt k
In the credit derivatives market, the observed default correlation smile, implied by the Gaussian copula, constitutes a major problem when we want to price bespoke CDO tranches. The industry standard approach for countering this dilemma is to use the concept of base correlation to try to estimate the ingoing default correlation parameters for non-standard tranche intervals. However, this approach
Vietnam carried out its economic reform Doi Moi in the mid-1980s. Market-based economic policies and legal frameworks have contributed to open up the country, trade barriers have been removed and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is now a fundamental part of the economy. In this paper, the presence of multinational corporations (MNCs) and how they have influenced the Vietnamese economy are examined.
This thesis analyses the problem of how to organise a multidisciplinary domain of knowledge like architecture. The study is both theoretical and empirical. The theoretical part include discussions of theories of knowledge organisation. Two different principles of classification were examined in relation to the domain itself, as well as in relation to the educational programme at the School of Arch
This Master's thesis aims at pinpointing the political arguments that appear in the recent debate on scientific publication. There is a widely spread opinion that prices on digital resources are far too high, thus taking up a major part of the University libraries budget, while publishing companies make high profits. It is also a common opinion that the current publishing method does not take
Abstract This thesis examines whether it is possible to ascertain a measurable difference between granted and refused grant applications with automatic methods. A corpus of project descriptions from the Swedish Science Council was examined with different classification techniques and using different linguistic features. A Naive Bayes classifier is shown to be a good predictor for this type of pro
Europe is struggling to reduce its CO2 emissions and to fulfil commitments made according to Kyoto protocol. At the same time, Europe does not possess enough fossil energy resources to cover its needs and thus consumption of imported fossil fuels is growing, placing threats upon economic stability. In order to combat these challenges, renewable energy sources and biomass in particular are expected
The paper investigates opportunities to minimize electricity consumption that will arise from the expected rapid penetration of households with set-top boxes due to the digitisation of television platforms. The study explores opportunities from a perspective of technical and behavioural change and how to promote this change through policy intervention and industry action. To explore the drivers an
The essay's aim is to explain how responsibility distribution between private and public bodies, primarily within three important service areas, can be visualised in light of the fact that they have experienced different forms of readjustment. We have chosen to study this by looking at the restoration work taking place after the hurricane Gudrun swept across southern Sweden on January 8-9, 200
