This paper explores the reason why young adults choose to talk about their psychological health and wellbeing on the video-sharing website, YouTube. The study was carried out by six semi-structured interviews with six different ‘YouTubers’ (meaning people who have their own channel and upload videos to the website). To qualify for the study the respondents had to have at least 5000 subscribers to

The aim was to identify technical systems potentially useful for estimating number of people and their location in buildings. Another aim was to investigate whether the information generated by the technical systems can have a positive effect on risk management. A number of technical systems were identified and evaluated. A more detailed evaluation of demand-controlled ventilation system with carb

In todays knowledge economy the use of information and communcation technology (ICT) is ever increasing. The need for investment in ICT infrastructure is stressed from a range of policy makers. In this thesis, using the concept of virtual proximity, the question of how these ICTs can facilitate innovation for rurally located companies will be discussed. The thesis will be aimed at the plastic indu

The impact of socioeconomic factors on adult and under-five mortality is a subject which has been widely discussed. However, one cannot say the same when it comes to the impact of religion on mortality, and in fact, most of the existing literature has focused on the impact of religious participation on disease-specific mortality among adults. The purpose of this paper was to examine the impact of

Following a macroeconomic stabilization and consistent economic growth during the 2000s, Brazil experienced a continuous decrease on poverty incidence for the first time in its contemporary history. While the literature emphasizes the importance of economic growth alongside social development to fight poverty, the Brazilian experience also displays strong government action through expanding social

Niche theory predicts that cooccurring species must differ in their use of environments in order to coexist, thereby diversity can be maintained in a community. However, ecologically similar species do frequently occur in nature, hence species inhabit similar physical environs and share single underling resources. In coexisting species with a similar niche, ecological drift is thought to eventuall

The aim of this study was to achieve an understanding of how public media pictures mental illness with help from a stigma perspective. Throughout the investigation the Stigma Process by Link and Phelan (2001) has been used to understand and interpret the material acquired. In this study 36 articles from the largest Swedish evening papers have been analyzed and the articles have been taken within a

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the perceived discretion among middle managers in municipal elderly care. The method used was four semistructured interviews with four middle managers. To analyze the results, the situational leadership theory and Bolman and Deal´s structural and human resource theory is used. The questions answered were what middle manager´s position means, how dis

Kopplade differentialekvationer förekommer överallt inom vetenskapens värld. Några sådana exempel är för beräkning av värmeinteraktioner mellan två olika material, luftflödet runt en vinge och blodflödet i ett hjärta. Ett mer specifikt exempel är raketmotorer som riktar ett kraftigt gasflöde med ett munstycke. Detta munstycke blir deformerat på grund av värme och högt lufttryck. Dessa ändringar i This thesis presents and tests the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann algorithm for two Poisson equations coupled by transmission boundary conditions. Three second order discretisation methods are used when analyzing the convergence: standard equidistant finite difference, standard adaptive linear finite element, and standard adaptive finite volume discretisation of Poisson's equation.

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa ökar i Sverige och alternativa behandlingsmetoder efterfrågas alltmer. Dock är evidensen bristfällig och trots att hästunderstödd rehabilitering är en aktivitetsbaserad rehabiliteringsform är arbetsterapeutisk forskning inom området nästintill obefintlig. Syfte: Att granska befintlig evidens avseende hästunderstödd rehabilitering för personer med psykisk ohälsa, med stöd aBackground: Mental illness is increasing in Sweden and more alternative rehabilitation methods are requested. The research is however inadequate and even though equine-assisted therapy is an activity-based rehabilitation form, the occupational therapy research on the matter is nearly non-existent. Aim: The aim of this study was to overview the existing evidence for equine-assisted therapy for pers

This study describes three young men and four young women and their quest for identity in a culture they, for many reasons, never seriously considered to be their own. The aim of the study was to find out, through interviews, what characterizes the culture of individuals identified as “blattar”, individuals with a cross-cultural background growing up and living in Sweden. We wanted to find out wha

The present study investigates the following problem: What are the regulatory structures of land based transportation in the greater Copenhagen area? In order to obtain a comprehensive understanding of this problem, three sub questions were designed to target the structures in detail. These are: How do European regulations on the area of the land based transportation influence the subsidy process

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011,the number of Syrian refugees reached approximately 3 million; nearly half of them are children. Although primary education has always been available, education services for Syrian refugees were subject to frequent changes particularly between 2011-2014. The biggest and most significant step was taken in the 2016/2017 school year as a result of long-

This thesis aims to provide a case study for a critical theory of mythopoetics, via analysis of four ‘Brexit narratives’: The Bad Boys of Brexit by Arron Banks, Unleashing Demons by Craig Oliver, All Out War by Tim Shipman and The Brexit Club by Owen Bennett. My objective is to demonstrate the prevalence of mythopoetics in political and historical discourse, via analysis of four competing politica

In this study, we focused on highlighting the importance of relationships between the professional and the client in HVB. The aim was to investigate how the relationship could contribute to preventing recidivism in adolescents and young adults. The study was qualitative and based on our semi-structured interviews to get in-depth reflections and experiences of their work. We used a purposive sampli

Med rådande omvärldsläge finns ett behov att utvärdera de förhörstekniker som myndigheter som bedriver underrättelseverksamhet använder sig utav. Tidigare forskning inom området förhörsteknik har avfärdat tortyr och i stället identifierat rapportbyggande strategier som nyckel till informationsdelgivning i förhör. I denna studie observerades 42 unika förhör som genomfördes av förhörsledare under utGiven the current global situation there is a need to evaluate the interrogation techniques used by intelligence agencies. Previous research in the field of interrogation has dismissed torture and instead identified rapport-building strategies as key to eliciting information in interrogations. In the current study 42 unique interrogations conducted by interrogators in training were observed to exa

The use of cannabis has increased in Sweden, and Malmö is one of the cities in which a big part of the inhabitants have tried the illicit drug. At the same time, the government works to increase the sanctions on cannabis use and possession. Thus, since the legislation on cannabis in Sweden is becoming more strict while a big part of Malmös citizens use cannabis, this study has aimed to investigate

Work passion is increasingly regarded as essential for both organizational success and individual well-being, yet its antecedents and underlying mechanisms remain underexplored. This study investigates how workplace factors (job autonomy, procedural justice, and leader– member exchange) relate to harmonious and obsessive passion through the mediating role of psychological need satisfaction. A cros

Marine copepods are the most abundant type of zooplankton of the ocean in terms of biomass. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique signature of chemical compounds, out of which copepodamides stand out. These polar lipids are recognized by some phytoplanktonic species, who induce defensive traits in response, including bioluminescence and toxin production, colony size plasticity or str
