Plandokument är något som är vanligt i Sveriges stadsplanering, och skapandet av det görs med stor omsorg för ett långsiktigt perspektiv och ekonomisk utveckling. Inte i alla delar av världen har man denna fungerande struktur. Kosovo är ett av de nyaste länderna i världen, som förklarade sig självständigt den 17 februari 2008. Kosovo har sedan dess försökt bygga upp sin stat, till stor del med utr

Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka anknytning hos en grupp barn i mellanbarndo- men som lever växelvis, och vad de berättar om sina relationer till viktiga andra. Studien base- rades på transkriberade intervjuer (Friends and Family Interview, FFI) och berättelser (Secure Base Script Test, SBST) från två tidigare studier, där barn som levde växelvis (n = 20) valdes ut. Materialet kodadeThis pilot study examined attachment of a group children in middle childhood living with joint custody, also what they say about their relationships with significant others. The study was based on the transcribed interviews (Friends and Family Interview, FFI) and stories (Secure Base Script Test, SBST) from two previous studies. Children living with joint custody (n = 20) were selected. Material w

Platsvarumärken blir allt mer vanliga i såväl Sverige som resten av världen, men frågan är om det är en effektiv strategi eller främst följer den strävan efter utveckling som genomsyrar dagens samhälle? I den här studien har vi försökt att lyfta fram näringslivsaktörers uppfattningar om sin regions varumärke, Familjen Helsingborg. Vi har i studien dock inte ämnat ta reda på huruvida regionsvarumär

Oil spills require more or less significant response efforts to be controlled. While the frequency of severe oil spills has decreased, an increase in marine traffic is forecasted in the future. Research has found that capability to respond to adverse events is often understood and assessed based on resources, which in practice has shown to provide an insufficient understanding of the capability to

The aim of this thesis has been to analyze how social workers relate to the child perspective in the processing of social assistance. Previous studies have shown that there is a knowledge gap among social workers how to implement the child's perspective in the management of social assistance. This study has a qualitative research approach and six semi structured interviews have been conducted.

Microfluidic devices have so far not seen widespread use, even though they could potentially be cheaper, better and faster than traditional methods. A possible reason for this is the lack of a middle step between one-of-a-kind experimental devices and cheap mass produced devices. With ongoing improvements in resolution it is starting to look possible that 3D-printing will fill this role. This the

Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. The

Objectives. Armenia demonstrates disastrous environmental and human health outcomes in mining-reliant regions with high indicators of environmental pollution, loss if biodiversity, and degraded human health caused by mining and processing activities. The study investigates the negative environmental and health impacts of such activities in Lori, Armenia to understand the neglected aspects, whic

During the 20th century the Nile River has been reason for political tensions and low intensity conflicts among the Nile Basin states such as Ethiopia, Sudan and Egypt. The Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) was established in 1999 with the primary aim to “[...] achieve sustainable socio-economic development through the equitable utilization of, and benefit from, the common Nile Basin water resources.” T

The goal of this master thesis has been to implement adaptive PI-control of two air flow heaters in an air sterilization module. This is done by modeling the module and using the information from the model to estimate the dynamics of the heaters. The idea of this thesis is to implement adaptive control with as simple control structures and tuning algorithms as possible, to keep it as generalized

The purpose of this thesis is to explain and analyze the project resilience practices developed and demonstrated in project management during times of crisis, as well as to analyze the correlations of these practices with project success, both in the short and long term. This project is also part of the Swedish Project Review, a longitudinal study benchmarking trends and areas of improvement in pr

Bakgrund: Barn och ungdomars ålder påverkar hur de förstår och hanterar sitt syskons cancersjukdom. Tidigare forskning har visat att syskon till cancersjuka barn löper större risk att utveckla svårigheter, men deras egna erfarenheter har ofta inte fått tillräcklig uppmärksamhet. Genom ett familjecentrerat bemötande och den mellanmänskliga teorin kan vårdpersonal ta större hänsyn till de unga anhörBackground: The age of children and adolescents affects how they understand and cope with their sibling's cancer. Previous research has shown that siblings of children with cancer are at greater risk of developing difficulties, but their own experiences have often not received sufficient attention. Through a family-centered approach and interpersonal theory, healthcare professionals can take g

In recent years, discussions regarding problematic school absenteeism have increased in research and media. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) observed an increase in both valid and invalid absences among students attending compulsory school in 2023, compared to previous years. Using Michael Lipsky's theory of street-level bureaucrats, which encompasses alienation, discreti

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has emerged as the latest breakthrough in 3D reconstruction since it can provide photorealistic 3D reconstruction with real-time rendering. Despite its increasing popularity, it lacks an accessible and clear end-to-end workflow, and the use for it in interactive and immersive applications remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, with the constant development of new 3DG

This thesis investigates fusion techniques in multimodal transformer models, focusing on enhancing the capabilities of large language models in understanding not just text, but also other modalities like images, audio, and sensor data. The study compares late fusion (concatenating modality tokens after separate encoding) and early fusion (concatenating before encoding) techniques, examining their

This study investigated the effects of confirmation bias on episodic memory. This was achieved through an experiment assessing people's attitudes towards drugs and their recall of pro, neutral, and anti-drug news headlines. Our hypothesis was that participants would be better at remembering headlines that were in support of their beliefs and worse at remembering those that were against. 109 pe

Foreign aid and development cooperation have long been a topic of discussion concerning the global division of power, colonial history, and the inability to generate sustainable development. Norway and its aid agency, Norad, are not exempt from this criticism, despite Norway’s image as a humanitarian “idealpolitik” nation with a generous aid budget. How donor countries, such as Norway, view their

With the increasing complexity and scale of modern software systems, ensuring software security is more critical than ever. As projects grow, so does the likelihood of vulnerabilities being introduced. Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools assist developers in identifying such vulnerabilities during development. In this study, five Java SAST tools (Bearer, CodeQL, Horusec, Semgrep and S

This thesis aims to create a personalised recommendation system for tourist attractions based on users’ individual preferences. Using a TripAdvisor dataset filtered down to ten European capital cities, two deep learning models are compared: neural collabora- tive filtering and its extended transformer-based architecture. To address the imbalance encountered in the dataset (where ratings of four an

Simethicone, a widely used anti-foaming agent in pharmaceuticals, consists mainly of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) combined with silica gel. While it is safe in pharmaceutical use, concerns have been raised about its degradation into cyclic siloxanes—specifically D4, D5, and D6—which can cause environmental and health hazards. This study investigated the degradation behavior of simethicone under var
