Syftet med denna masteruppsats i praktisk teologi, inriktad mot hymnologi, är att undersöka hur psalmförfattarens liv och omvärld påverkar psalmskrivandet av nutida psalmtexter inom Svenska kyrkan, genom kvalitativa intervjuer med några etablerade psalmförfattare. Urvalskriterier för studien var att psalmförfattaren är representerad i Den svenska psalmboken 1986 eller Psalmer i 2000-talet, kan välThe purpose of this master's thesis in practical theology, with a focus on hymnology, is to investigate how the life and environment of hymn writers influence the composition of contemporary hymn texts within the Church of Sweden. This is achieved through qualitative interviews with established hymn writers. The selection criteria for the study included the hymn writer’s representation in the

This text concerns itself with war, the just war theory, and the application of that doctrine on the ?war on terrorism?. I present different views on the theory's place in the discourse, its relevance for unconventional wars followed by the analyses of above mentioned empirical situation. Particular interest is given the criteria concerning proportionality, both ad bellum and in bello, due to

This paper deals with policy measures in the regional innovation system of Scania, Southern Sweden. Focus is on the innovation policy requirements of actors representing industries that draw on different knowledge bases. Previous studies have identified profound industry-specific differences concerning the organisation of knowledge sourcing between firms and other actors. In correspondence with th

There is a growing interest within the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) modelling community to correctly describe physico-chemical processes after many years of mainly focusing on biokinetics. Indeed, future modelling needs, such as a plant-wide phosphorus (P) description, require a major, but unavoidable, additional degree of complexity when representing cationic/anionic behaviour in Activated S

In the last few decades, the neurodiversity movement has fought for the wider acceptance and destigmatization of previously pathologized neurological conditions, such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, dyspraxia, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and Tourette syndrome. Increased recognition of the unique skills possessed by neurodivergent individuals, combined with the pressure to take on s

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of auditors at different career stages on current management control and the work environment. In order to gain a deeper analysis of the auditors' perspective, the study has used previous empirical research and theories of motivation and job satisfaction. Thus, two research questions have been formulated to support the study.

The response to climate change in cities has proliferated over the last few decades, and progressive climate action at the local level is now ubiquitous. More specifically, local climate action often comes in the shape of ‘climate change experiments’, radical innovations at the local level designed to respond to the imperatives of mitigating and adapting to climate change in the city. This thesis

In this project, we compare two error functions for the purpose of training artificial neural networks on heavily censored data (data where key information is missing). J. Kalderstam et al. has shown that it is possible to train artificial neural networks directly on Harrell's C index \cite{Harrell} using genetic algorithms. He has also investigated the possibilities of improving the performa

The positive effects of diversity have been comprehensively highlighted in the academic world. However, less research has been conducted on the challenges that can occur due to diversity. Even less research has been conducted on challenges due to diversity in technical teams. In an effort to augment the positive effects of diversity, this study aims to shed light on some of the challenges due to d

Juvenile delinquency has become an obvious and recurring issue in the daily debate and emerges as one of the most controlling and dominant societal problems. There are various reasons why people choose to commit crime and there is no easy answer to the question why young people commit crime. A fundamental but crucial distinction to be made regarding crime is the difference between deviant acts and

The aim of this study was to examine attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program in Malmö and Lund in Sweden. More specifically the aim was to examine how the staff of the needle exchange program experience the attitudes surrounding the needle exchange program and if/how these attitudes affect them in their work. The analysis of nine interviews with staff members revealed similarities in how

In the present thesis, the interaction between atoms in superposition states and attosecond pulses is studied from the microscopic to the macroscopic regime. Using a semi-classical framework, three different models have been explored in order to investigate attosecond light--matter interaction processes. The first model is a microscopic, single-atom model. Through using this model, the absorptio

RTK GNSS is a way of deciding the position of a GNSS receiver with high precision. It should theoretically be possible to determine the position with the precision of a couple of centimeters. Traditionally the RTK GNSS system consists of a base station and a rover. The base station knows its position and compares that to the information it gets from the satellites in order to calculate the error.

Additiv tillverkning (AM), vanligtvis kallad 3D-utskrift, erkänns som en transformativ metod inom modern tillverkning. Tekniken möjliggör framställning av komplexa geometrier med ökad materialeffektivitet, lokaliserad produktion och större designfrihet. Trots dessa fördelar kvarstår utmaningar när det gäller att optimera AM-processer för att säkerställa resurseffektivitet – särskilt i att minska mAdditive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, has known as a transformative approach in modern manufacturing. It enables the production of complex geometries with reduced material usage, localized fabrication, and improved design flexibility. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in optimizing AM processes to ensure resource efficiency, particularly in minimizing material

Access to financing for women entrepreneurs plays a fundamental role in the creation and development of their startups. Our study found that women founders, specifically within tech startups, face barriers and challenges when searching for and navigating different types of financing options. There is a gap in the literature regarding gender disparities in entrepreneurial finance and limitations of

The purpose of this study is to analyze and theorize punk and to investigate how punk is being performed. But also to counter previous descriptions of punk as a subculture, counter-culture or field and present the outline to a theory of scene. The question at issue in this study is: how can punk be described theoretically? This study is divided into acts. The first act introduces the reader to th

The skeletal responses to calcium depletion and repletion in rodents have been well characterized, but those in humans are poorly understood. The present study sought to evaluate the effects of short term dietary calcium depletion and repletion on biochemical markers of bone turnover in 15 young Caucasian women (age, 21-30 yr). The study contained 3 phases: 1) 5 days of a regular diet containing m

Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och klargöra gällande rätt i fråga om styrelseledamöters möjlighet att ta upp sina arvoden till beskattning i bolag. Därutöver ämnar uppsatsen även att sätta reglerna om styrelseledamotsbeskattning i bolag i ett bredare sammanhang. För att uppnå detta syfte kommer uppsatsen att behandla relevant svensk lagstiftning, samt att se till hur denna har tolkats i e
