MeBackground: Communication is an interaction between people. Occupational therapists use communication, both verbal and nonverbal to enable important everyday activities for the client. Purpose: The study was implemented in order to chart the described communication between the occupational therapist and the client with life- changing illness from an eastern and western occupational therapeutic per

To reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by local efforts, physical planning plays an essential part. It can have a great impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, by deciding important things as transport and energy planning. This study aims to examine the role of municipal comprehensive planning in the work to reduce greenhouse gases. The study is based on a case study of Lund municipality, car

With regards to increased research on the formative use of assessment rubrics and its effects on performance, this study highlights the need for more research on rubrics’ effects on different kinds of motivation. Therefore, the study aims to investigate possible effects of implementing explicit assessment rubrics on L2 motivation in an EFL classroom. The study is quasi-experimental, which means th

This study focuses on the topic of education and economic growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between education and economic growth amongst the OECD member countries. What sets this study apart from a lot of the research is the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative measures of education. This is done by using theory and previous research as a foundation to con

The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can als

Food waste, within the wider phenomenon of resource waste, has become a global issue due to its direct impact on climate change. Food redistribution via food banks is highlighted as a waste reduction strategy because it not only tackles the environmental impact from food production, but also provides food security to vulnerable people by redistributing the discarded food from food industries to so

This essay investigates the online L2 processing of restricted collocations and figurative idioms. Earlier research has shown there to be a difference in how these word combinations are processed depending on a variety of factors. In this study a self-paced reading experiment is administered to 15 second language learners of English (L1 Swedish) where their reading time is measured by DMDX softwar

Bioplastics are a promising alternative for petroleum-based plastics that today is on high demand in our contemporary lifestyles. They are made from biopolymers such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs). Producing biopolymers from waste material feedstock using microbes increases profitability and environmental benefits as well as sustainability for biorefineries. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a robust m

Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us

The exact workings of amelogenin (AMG) as a key-regulator in the formation of enamel is still to be determined. It has been observed however, that AMG promotes tissue-regrowth and has promotive effect on e.g., osteoblastic cells and could therefore be of interest for medical applications. This project aimed to utilize AMG’s self-assembly properties to fabricate a protein-based biomaterial for cult

The amount of data produced is growing rapidly and organizations are struggling to make use of the generated data from the vast amount of sources. Analyzing and interpreting data to find patterns and trends has become a competitive advantage for companies working with customer oriented operations. Many previous studies have shown the value potential of working with big data. In order to create val

The largest use of fossil petroleum is the production of fuels. Hence, finding sustainable alter-natives is an important step to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One such alternative is to produce fuel from biomass, such as waste products from agriculture and the forest indus-try. In Sweden, the forest industry is an important part of the economy. The pulp mills pro-duce an excessive amou

Waste management and waste prevention are strong focal points for the EU in its transition towards sustainable development. In recent years, several policy actions were launched targeting, especially, the municipal waste generation. However, the differences in the quality and circularity of members’ waste management systems are considerable. In this scenario, the thesis investigates whether corrup

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att prova den klassiska principal-agentteorins tillämpbarhet i relationen mellan bemanningsföretag och deras konsulter, en relation som även påverkas av en tredje part; bemanningsföretagets kunder. Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ tvärsnittsstudie och samlar in data via intervjuer. Intervjuerna utgick från en intervjuguide som sammanställts baserat på vårt teoretiskaPurpose: The purpose of the essay is to test the classical principal-agency theory’s applicability in the relationship between staffing agencies and their consultants, a relationship that is also affected by a third party, the client of the staffing agency. Methodology: The study is a qualitative cross-sectional study and collects data through interviews. The interviews were based on an intervie

Vegetation monitoring over time is important in a changing world due to climate change. Remote sensing, especially with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), can be utilized to monitor vegetation at flexible scales at an accurate degree. However, the relatively new remote sensing platforms that are UAVs imply the requirement of understanding how to best monitor vegetation in an accurate way w

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of how organizations learn from previous investment decisions and to develop a framework that suggests an illustrative overview of how the experience from a previous investment decision process is turned into organizational learning. The study used a qualitative approach consisting of a multiple case study. In addition to the literatu

The purpose of this master’s thesis project is to aid Thomson Reuters to forecast soil moisture, enhancing the agricultural productivity of its clients. This thesis focuses on testing the company’s HBV model (HBV-TR) to accurately produce daily soil moisture values in Brazil, France, and the U.S.A. The problem is that, up to this day, the most reliable monitoring of this soil water content is als

Research suggest that foster children’s school achievements in compulsory school are worse compared with their peers in the same age group. The purpose of my study was to explore and analyze what kind of support and assistance foster children are offered in order to leave the compulsory school with approved grades. Furthermore, the aim was also to explore what kind of sup¬port that the social serv

Heterogeneous team collaboration is a fundamental component of Disaster Risk Management (DRM). However, DRM teams face complex-dynamic situations characterised by high disruptions, distributed locations and other factors, which create persistent problems for team collaboration. In these contexts, even the smallest improvement to our understanding has the potential to yield enormous benefits to DRM
