Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurobehavioral problems among both children and adults. Around 5% of the children and 3- 4% of the adults suffers from the condition in Sweden. In general, diagnosed children achieve poorer results on standardized tests, receive lower grades and are more prone to dropout of school. Adults tend to struggle with work-performa
China’s economic development has not only led to enormous growth figures, but also to a severe degradation of the environment. Mass-consumption of fossil fuels like oil and coal in China contributed to reaching the level of the largest greenhouse gas emitter worldwide. For the Chinese government to react, it is crucial to take the electricity purchase decisions of households into account to succes
Supramolecular chemistry is a field in which noncovalent interactions between molecules are utilised to promote the formation of larger molecular assemblies. A single monomer consisting of a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane backbone equipped with hydrogen bonding motifs and solubilising groups is synthesised. Utilisation of different hydrogen bonding motifs and appropriate solvent renders self-aggregation of
The Magoye River is located in the Southern Province of Zambia. This is the most drought prone region in Zambia and a lot of water bodies dry up during the dry seasons, including the Magoye River. Small scale livestock farming is widespread in the area and low water availability during dry seasons forces local farmers to push their cattle long distances for drinking water and grazing during dry se
Bröstcancer är den vanligaste formen av cancer hos kvinnor. Fler än 7000 diagnostiseras med denna sjukdom varje år i Sverige. En del av behandlingen mot cancern är strålbehandling. För att strålbehandlingen ska ge goda effekter är det viktigt att det är den sjuka vävnaden som bestrålas, och att den friska vävnaden förskonas från strålningen i den mån det är möjligt. Detta uppnås genom noggranna stPurpose: The CatalystTM system was tested and compared with an X-ray image verification system for patient positioning during breast cancer treatment. Included was to find the optimal reference image and the optimal cropping method for the reference image. Parameters that could lead to an optimization of the treatment routines were also evaluated. Method and Material: The study was divided into t
This bachelor degree essay is an attempt to evaluate four interpretations within the Church of Sweden of the doctrine on original sin and their relation to a Lutheran tradition. I have tried to see if it is possible to assess the degree of loyalty to the Lutheran tradition in the Church of Sweden present in the works of the theologians Bengt Hägglund, Anna Karin Hammar and Eva-Lotta Grantén and in
This review of the educational tools developed to promote peace in Uganda sought to answer two primary questions through qualitative elite interviews and secondary research: is the Government of Uganda (GoU) actively trying to promote peace by promoting education? and what are the tools being used? A lens made of peace education theory was employed to assess those questions while the relationship
This thesis investigates the driving forces behind the debt level in the Swedish counties, the possibility that the metropolitan areas are different from the rest of the country and presents a short discussion about possible policy actions to address this matter. The results show that housing price and supply, wealth, income and average age have a significant impact on the debt level where a diffe
This study examines collective action frames visible in the social media commentary of the ongoing Farmers’ protest in India. It addresses the theoretical and critical questions about social media’s role in the 21st century social movements as well as how framing contributes to mobilization and overcoming the collective action problem. Previous studies have advocated both for and against using soc
The world of work is central to development, if one defines development as economic and social progress and wellbeing of individuals, families and societies. In the last decades of globalization the International Labour Organization has struggled to retain relevance and ensure “decent work” for all. The introduction of the 2019 ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work sets up new guiding p
Försörjningskedjan har stor potential till optimering. Många olika delar av kedjan kan optimeras och alla tänkbara förbättringar har inte testats än. Denna studien har sitt fokus på ruttoptimering, med det specifika målet att förstå hur maskininlärning kan användas inom ruttplanering, samt hur nyckelfaktorer som påverkar restiden för en rutt kan tas i åtanke för problemet. Tid lades på att studerThe supply chain has potential for growth. Many different parts can be optimized, and every possible improvement has not yet been tested. This study focuses on route optimization with the specific goal of figuring out how machine learning can be applied to route planning and how key factors that impact travel time for a route can be taken into account for this problem. Time was dedicated to learn
This thesis aims at developing and evaluating a model for high frequency foreign exchange data, that beats the TWAP benchmark the majority of the time. This is done by dividing the total order time into smaller time buckets and trading a smaller quantity of the total order volume in each bucket. The second purpose of the thesis is to determine if there is an optimal bucket size in which to trade i
It is common knowledge that shading systems and solar control glasses are used to avoid glare and overheating at expenses of daylight. In Dynamic Thermal Modelling tools, there is no assessment method where the shading use is expressed when predicting the building performance. Furthermore, literature often refers to studies where complex fenestration systems are optimized for specific cases. Howev
Illicit organ markets coincides with medical advancements and greater global interconnectedness. Many organ vendors come from poor socioeconomic backgrounds and are coerced into the sale which lacks the altruistic notion often associated with transplantation. This is a case study based on a literature review with a focus on Sudanese migrants in Cairo, Egypt. The purpose of this study is to investi
To this day, the question of what factors drive economic development and catching-up remains deeply controversial in growth literature. The concept of social capability provides a useful framework to investigate the relationship of the parallel processes of transformation, inclusion, autonomy and accountability with economic performance. Nevertheless, there are few attempts to quantify social capa
This study aims to contribute to the knowledge of activism, specifically the culture of political activism at the level of the individual lived experience. Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy Towards a Radical Democratic Politics (2014) draws from Antonio Gramsci’s concept of cultural hegemony and develops a theoretical framework for how social movements can effecti
This study investigates how the political will for strengthening resilience has developed within the city of Bristol, focusing on how this is shaped by factors at local, national and international scales. Thematic analysis of Bristol City Council policy documents and interviews with participants from a range of different organisations throughout the city are used to gather data. The findings are a
There is a growing expectation in the field of sustainable development that cities are the most suitable scale for addressing global environmental issues, particularly through their ability to mobilize local actors. Business improvement districts (BIDs) are a form of public-private partnership (PPP) in cities typically established by associations of private actors that aim to generate value in com
How does new technology impact labor market outcomes? We address this question by examining the adoption of electricity in Sweden during the early 20th century. Leveraging detailed individual-level data that covers the entire labor market and exogenous variation in electricity access driven by proximity to hydro-power plants, we estimate the impact of electrification on individual labor market out
This article introduces the pattern theory of immersivity (PTI), a practice-led theoretical framework stemming from the hypothesis that a reorientation of the understanding of immersive art is needed, away from technological sophistication or sensory excess and toward the psychological mechanisms underlying imaginative engagement, regardless of artform or combination of media. The theory posits th
