The European Spallation Source (ESS) will be a material research center built around a powerful neutron source. At ESS, researchers will be able to carry out precise measurements using neutron scattering. The quality of the measurements is determined by the signal-to-noise ratio. The signal consists of neutrons with energies that are useful for experiments, while neutrons with higher energies cons
The purpose of this essay was to investigate how exhaustion depression, previously defined as burnout, is presented on blogs on the Internet, what consequences the presence of the blog-readers may have on the self-presentations on the blogs and what consequenses the blog-writers self-portraits may have for the construction of their diagnosis.

This study uses the model of Jamieson, Chapelle and Preiss, along with the extended theories of Chapelle, to evaluate a tool for learning french online, more specifically the Coffee Break French Podcast. The method employed is dual: an expert analysis based on a profound study of the material, and a survey sent to a set of the podcast users. The study finds that the podcasts, along with its supple
Objective: In order to put the class schema of popular sociologist Guy Standing to empirical test, we sought out to define this schema in a large survey database of 15.937 respondents of Swedish people called SLOSH, provided by the Stress Research Institute of Stockholm University. We named the schema standian class. We wanted to investigate the specific theory presented by Standing that the preca
Gender complementarity is an indigenous model of gender relations that values the female position and her tasks by tradition the same way as that of the man. The idea is that the man and woman complement each other as opposite parts of the cosmos. In Bolivia, with 65% of its population and the president being indigenous, the concept is widely used. This thesis will investigate the impact the gende
The purpose of this paper is to examine five interpretations of a type of medieval construction called “clay lined pit” which has been encountered on several locations in southern Scandinavia, and whether the interpretations can still be considered plausible in light of new findings. Initially the construction type is explained and the interpretations are introduced. Three locales, where clay line

As the demand for decreased use of energy increases, new ways of using energy sources are investigated. One of these ways is to be able to use low temperature heat sources, which can be done with a rankine or organic rankine cycle. In a rankine cycle there is a working fluid which is pressurized, evaporated, expanded and then condensed again, and the energy released during the expansion can drive
Bakgrund: Normer är förbundna med sociala värden och ligger till grund för samhällsgruppens attityd gentemot ett godtyckligt beteende inom en viss kontext. I dagens samhälle råder det en tydlig heteronormativitet, vilken tillika genomsyrar mödrahälso- förlossnings och eftervården. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnliga samkönade pars upplevelser av mödrahälso-, förlossnings- och eftervården. Metod: Kvalitati

The aim of this thesis is to examine how Turkey’s “proto-transition” regarding the Kurdish issue is gendered in the light of the narratives of a particular set of victims, the wives of the disappeared.

The methods for assessing capability in the Swedish emergency management system are mainly based on resources. It is however questionable whether a method should be based only on available resources. The aim of the thesis was to examine if the old MSB method used to assess capability within the Swedish emergency management system can be improved by studying methods for capability assessment in the

In Colombia, indigenous leaders and organizations claim that among the problems that indigenous youth face in relation to their participation in conventional higher education there is the potential loss of their indigenous identity and their acculturation (Muñoz 2007; ONIC, et al. 2004; Green et al. 2004). In the light of these claims, this thesis explores how indigenous students experience their
Den här studien undersökte effekter av en stresshanteringsintervention, som genomfördes med åtta elever på en svensk gymnasieskola under hösten 2015. Hypoteserna inför projektet var att interventionen som varade under åtta veckor skulle ha en positiv effekt på användandet av adaptiva copingstrategier samt reducera upplevd stressnivå och öka självskattad hälsa. De utfallsmått som användes var PerceThis study examined the effects of a stress management intervention that was carried out with eight Swedish high school students (Swedish gymnasium) during the fall semester of 2015. The hypotheses were that the eight week intervention would have a positive impact on the usage of adaptive coping strategies, reduce perceived stress for the participants and increase self-estimated overall health.

Studien undersökte hur delad närvaro med en vuxen kring en berättelse påverkade barns perspektivtagande. 3-4-åringars ögonrörelser studerades medan de såg på en false belief (FB)-film. I filmen får protagonisten en FB då hens flygplan flyttas medan hen inte är närvarande. Studien undersökte om barn som delat närvaro med en vuxen under filmvisningen (tillsammansittande) i högre utsträckning svaradeThis study investigated how jointly attending to a story with an adult influenced children’s ability to take another person’s perspective. Eye movements of children 3-4 years old were studied while they watched a false belief (FB)-movie. In the movie an airplane moves when the protagonist is absent, hence the protagonist gets a FB. Differences between children who watched the movie jointly attendi
