In this study, twelve guardians of eleven different children with problematic gaming behaviour were interviewed and provided their view of the relationship with the child and their perceived need for support. The guardians were asked to describe the relationship with the child with problematic gaming based on the aspects of transparency, rules/limits, and socialising. The empirical data has been a
Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent
An armchair is a necessity all of us have at home or in our work place. Sitting is often more comfortable than standing, but sitting is not the best option when it comes to our health. As we grow older, our bodies weaken and standing in a longer period gets more difficult. Here is where I started this project. A nursing home for the elderly with dementia called the Fullriggaren contacted the scho
Anthropogenic land-use covers a constantly increasing fraction of the terrestrial surface area. By employing a dynamic global vegetation model, human-induced changes in the terrestrial water balance as compared to an undisturbed scenario were simulated. The results suggest that humanity is a main driver of change in the terrestrial water balance in general and green water in particular. Most strik
The aim of this study was to research social secretaries' views on and experiences working with social and economic violence in honor-based context. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven different social secretaries, all active in various units and with different experiences. The study concludes how economic and social violence can take form in
The aim of this study was to examine how social workers working with the Staircase Model and Housing First can help long-term homeless people with a long history of alcohol and/or drug abuse, their view of the models and how they describe and use their discretion. I used a qualitative method and data was gathered by semi-structured interviews. I interviewed five social workers in four different mu
När Lissabonfördraget trädde i kraft den 1 december 2009 medförde det viktiga förändringar inom EU:s utrikespolitik. Målet var att öka EU:s samstämmighet i dess externa relationer i syfte att stärka EU:s roll som global aktör. Det nya fördraget inrättade en hög representant för den gemensamma utrikes-och säkerhetspolitiken (HR) samt en assisterande utrikestjänst (EEAS). De nya funktionerna är histThe entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty in December 2009 brought several important changes in the field of EU Foreign Policy. The goal was to enhance coherence in EU external relations to strengthen the role of the EU as a global actor. The creations of the High Representative (HR) of the Union on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and the assisting European External Action Service (EEAS) are t
Background: The feedback of the surveillance results to the employee and the employer largely determines the impact of workers’ health surveillance on workers’ health and exposure. We are unaware of any guidebooks or articles on performing feedback on regulated workers’ health surveillance, e.g., for vibration-exposed workers. Objectives: To identify existing knowledge of the communication aspects
Purpose: Using both a theoretical and empirical perspective, we investigate if the credit derivative market is efficient or not. Method: We have used a qualitative method. A survey has been sent to 23 major banks and investment banks with questions about the credit derivative market and how the efficiency work in the market. The answers have been adapted to different efficiency theories to help re
The European Union is often portrayed as a soft, civilian power. In this thesis we question this view of the Union, by comparing it to the United States of America; usually described as a hard power user. We compare the foreign policy actions of the EU and the US in the seventeen conflicts of 2004. With help from K. J. Holsti's division of strategies to exercise power we create our own tool fo
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, but the degree of impairment has been difficult to determine. Most studies have been performed on plasma instead of whole blood. We therefore evaluated wh
The purpose of this rapport is to assess the safety of ROS Care & Service. An assessment is made and suggestions is given about how the safety level may be increased. The main focus is on evacuation safety. Floor 4 section C has been chosen to symbolize all sections in the newest part of the building. By investigating likely fire scenarios, calculating when hazardous criteria’s for these scena
Article 28 is one of the key Treaty Articles concerning the integration of national markets. But finding the right way to apply Article 28 is far from being easy, as history shows. The ECJ has not been consistent in its case law on Article 28 EC. The main problem in its approach in the application of Article 28 has been the wideness of the Dassonville-formula, which by its wording catches smallest
BACKGROUND In the lamination process the use of surface treatment is necessary to improve the adhesion between the different layers of the packaging material. Surface treatment can be described as Techniques which change the surface characters without affecting properties of the bulk materials. One of the surface treatments is the ozone treatment where the ozone is applied to the hot melt just be
Almost all businesses, in today’s market, builds on complex supply chains operating on the global market. The competition is no longer between individual companies but between different supply chains. This creates new risks for both the individual company and the companies operating in the supply chain. Cooperation between small and medium sized business partners can create possibilities and high
An all digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL) has been implemented in a 90-nm CMOS process. It uses a phase frequency detector (PFD) connected to two time-to-digital converters (TDC). To save power the TDCs use uneven delay time in the delay line cells. An automatic tuning bank controller selects active bank of the digitally controlled oscillator (DCO), which features three separate tuning banks. The P
