Många barn upplever oro i samband med smärtsamma eller emotionellt påfrestande procedur. Barn saknar ofta adekvata strategier för smärthantering och är därför extra utsatta. Lekterapi kan anta olika former och syftar till att lindra barns oro och smärta i vårdsituationer. Aktiv distraktion och passiv distraktion syftar till att avleda barnet under proceduren. Det finns även förberedande lekterapi
This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr
Despite the fact that local and household levels are causing large amounts of the greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden, global climate policy has mainly focused on international and national solutions when coping with climate change mitigation. The aim of this study is to unearth and discuss measures that municipalities can use in order to mitigate the climate impact of their citizens. The method us
Detta projekt handlar om arkitekturens inneboende politiska potential och om att testa arkitektur som verktyg i samhällsförändring. Samhället vi lever i idag är ojämlikt, och arkitekter har genom sin position i byggbranschen makten och ansvaret att motverka detta. Inom arkitekturforskningen finns en stor kunskap om arkitekturens performativa kraft och hur den kan påverka samhället. Jag har dock up
The thesis explores online knowledge production around a subject that has been considered taboo and inappropriate through history – sexual, reproductive and genital health for people with female genitals. Therefore, it also examines the political potential of coming together to openly discuss such “delicate issues”. The focus of the study is the Swedish Facebook-group “Fittlife – underliv och häls
Rådande rättsläge ger antydningar om att den avdragsrätt ekonomiska föreningar erhåller för lämnad utdelning under vissa omständigheter kan brukas på ett otillbörligt sätt. Syftet med denna framställning är att genom den rättsdogmatiska metoden försöka utreda vilka förutsättningar som måste föreligga för att ett fåmansföretag och dess ägare vid utdelning, ska kunna åtnjuta skattemässiga fördelar v
The aim of this study was to examine how death and mourning is portrayed in children’s books used in social work. A selection of five books, all written relatively recently and originating from Western European countries, was made based on advice from a hospital library, an important resource for medical social workers. These books were analyzed using content analysis, where we searched for themes
Achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) depends on timely and reliable information. However, standardized methodologies and regularly available data exist for only 40% of the 232 indicators. The “Data Revolution for Sustainable Development” is supposed to bridge these data gaps by harnessing ongoing developments in information technology, particularly big data. Currently existing pil
Power systems operate at a specific frequency and constantly require a balance between production and consumption of electricity in order to maintain the frequency within a certain interval. Larger frequency deviations can cause blackouts or damage equipment connected to the grid. Balancing functions that stabilise the grid are referred to as \textit{ancillary services}, which in Sweden include th
Deciduous forests and especially oak (Quercus robur) and beech (Fagus sylvatica) are very important for biodiversity and provide habitats for many threatened species. They are also good environments for recreation. Bruces forest in Helsingborg is a nature reserve where rejuventation of deciduous forest is a main objective. Hence, this study examined factors influencing rejuvenation, different reju
Scania is a region vulnerable to climate change and climate models project an increase in extreme precipitation events for this area. Pluvial flooding in urban areas is mostly associated with the large amount of impermeable surfaces and sewer system overload. In 2014 the County Administrative Board of Scania released a regional action plan for adaptation strategies and stormwater is described as a
The notional amounts outstanding of over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives had grown exponentially for almost two decades and its rapid growth were mainly due the increase in OTC interest rate derivatives. As of december 2014, the total notional amounts outstanding in the global OTC market was 630 trillions USD and the OTC interest rate derivatives represents about 80% of the market. Trading with OTC
This thesis compares the performance of the first-differenced maximum likelihood estimator (FDML) and the Blundell-Bond continuously-updating system GMM estimator of the autoregressive parameter in an AR(1) dynamic panel model without exogenous covariates, particularly focusing on the close-to-non-stationary case. This case is far from trivial, as a high degree of persistence is the norm rather th
This master thesis examines disabled residents’ roles as citizens in a place branding process within the political framework of a place. This is in line with the resident approach in a political context within the research field of place branding. My contribution to the resident approach is a case study in the municipality of Borås, where I study the organized work of accessibility between citizen
Med hjälp av koncernbidrag, vilket kan ges mellan koncernbolag, uppnår svenska företagsgrupper en utjämning av sina resultat. Att ge koncernbidrag är möjligt bara mellan helägda dotterbolag. Med helägt menas i detta fall att moderbolaget måste äga dotterbolaget till mer än 90 procent. Det uppställs alltså ett så kallat ägandekrav för moderbolaget. Genom aktuell praxis, främst HFD 2021 ref. 66 har
Studiens syfte är att söka en djupare förståelse för musikaliskt lärande inom hur idiomatisk improvisation och genretypiskt spel, och av metodik i olika genrer för att lära ut dessa moment. Studien består av intervjuer med två lärare som arbetar på gymnasienivå och två lärare som arbetar på folkhögskolenivå, vilka alla är verksamma inom den afro-amerikanska musiktraditionen. Studien visar att arbeThe study's purpose is to provide a more in-depth understanding of idiomatic improvisation and genre-typical playing, and of methodologies in different genres for teaching these aspects of musicianship. The study consists of interviews with two teachers working on a high-school and two teachers working on a folk high school, all of whom are active in the African-american music tradition. The s
Sustaining crop yields present challenges worldwide. These challenges vary regionally and climate change may have positive or negative effects on crop yields. Closing yield gaps in already established cropping areas is one of the solutions to increase future food supply. Fraction water yield gaps are defined as how far yields with high levels of nutrients are from attainable (irrigated) yields. In
Two approaches for extracting properties of neutral resonances out of invariant mass distributions are presented: like-sign and event-mixing signal. Additionally a correction function based on event-mixing, aimed at revising detection differences of opposite charged particles, which is applied to the like-sign signal is tested. The analysis is conducted using pp collisions at 7 TeV and concludes a
