This study aimed to create an understanding of how children within Jehovah’s Witnesses have gotten their emotional needs met during their childhood. We also wanted to study if there was a correlation between men and women and the attitude of needing emotional support. The empirical data has been collected with a survey we sent out within a closed group of non-active members. 33 respondents answere

In Sweden, deacons are at increased risk of experiencing work-related stress and its consequences, including burnout. The research area on stress amongst deacons, or Christian social workers in general, is limited which motivates research on this area. By looking at the two organizational theories of role stress and effort-reward imbalance, this study aims to examine the linkages between stress am

The article analyzes how central and eastern European members of the EU relate to the main nodes of the EU’s politics of memory, such as the first and second world wars, the Holocaust as Europe’s negative founding myth, Soviet Communism being equally as criminal as the Nazi regime, expulsions as a pan-European trauma, the legacy of colonialism, Europe as a continent of immigration, and Europe’s po

As part of the project FIRE21, a workshop was organised in Trondheim on September 8, 2023, inviting all project partners (Lund University, Research Institutes of Sweden, the Technical University of Denmark and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology) to brainstorm on potential problems for the fire and rescue services (FRS) in the 21st century, and recommendations on how to improve the

This report summarises the results from an interview and literature study carried out to identify key individual qualities for collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service context. The report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into such individual qualities through using different methods and ma

I denna rapport sammanställer vi resultaten från två workshops som utförts som en del av projektet FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century). I projektet studerar vi (forskare från Sverige, Norge och Danmark) hur räddningstjänster löser problem i så kallade problemlösande nätverk. Vi ser dessa som nödvändiga för att lösa problem i dagens och morgondagens insatser, där vi behöver olika

This report contributes to the research project FIRE21 (Fire and Rescue Services in the 21st Century) and is part of a work package looking into key individual qualities for efficient collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service (FRS) context.

This document summarises key recommendations from project FIRE21. The recommendations are based on results from 1) professionals through the workshop with Räddningstjänsten Syd (Rsyd) and the Norwegian survey and 2) acquired experiences and knowledge from project members.

This report summarises a study carried out to identify key individual qualities for collective problem-solving in a fire and rescue service (FRS) context.

This document is created within the research project Nordic Fire and Rescue Services in the Twenty First Century (FIRE21). In this project, the fire and rescue services are seen as both governed by, and dependent on, formal and informal networks. A fundamental assumption in the research project is that efficient emergency management is dependent on efficient problem-solving in these networks. As a

This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of counselors working in healthcare towards the introduction of licensure requirements and a transitional period that was applied for obtaining the licensure. The study illustrated how the introduction of the requirement was perceived in terms of professional status/professional identity, professionalization, and work tasks. This study was based on pro

Uppsatsen undersöker skattetilläggsfrågan i anslutning till en inkomstskatterättslig bedömning av inkomster genom carried interest. Carried interest är en särskild typ av vinstfördelning som kan berättiga till asymmetriska vinster inom riskkapitalstrukturer. För närvarande saknas specifika lagregler i Inkomstskattelagen (1999:1299) som avgör hur dessa inkomster ska beskattas. Skattetillägg är en The thesis examines the issue of tax surcharges in connection with an income tax assessment of carried interest. Carried interest is a specific type of profit-sharing arrangement that can entitle individuals to asymmetric returns within private equity structures. Currently, there are no specfic provisions within the Swedish Income Tax Act (1999:1229) determining how such income should be taxed. A

This thesis explores how ecological themes are represented through local and global perspectives in Juliana Spahr’s ecopoetry, Mikael Kristersson’s Ljusår (2008), and Jiuliang Wang’s documentary Plastic China (2016). By applying ecocritical theory with a focus on glocalization and interconnectedness, the study examines how local environments become metaphors for global ecological crises. Spahr’s

This thesis explores the intersection between Andrei Tarkovsky’s cinematic aesthetics and surrealist theory, focusing on his film The Mirror (1975). By analyzing Tarkovsky’s depiction of time and memory, the study investigates how surrealist principles such as non-linear narrative, symbolic imagery, and dream-like sequences are employed to create a deeply introspective cinematic experience.

У цій статті досліджено професійний підхід до ілюстрування книг для дітей та підлітків. Також визначено значення розвитку фантазії, образного мислення, виховання смаку та введення у світ сучасного мистецтва. Описано принципи оформлення та ілюстрування книг з урахуванням вікових особливостей сприйняття дітей, а також важливість привабливості ілюстрацій для зацікавлення маленьких читачів. РозглянутоThe purpose of the study is to investigate the possibilities of replacing the introductory version of MATLAB in educational disciplines related to digital image processing with an open and free analogue of GNU Octave. Using the example of laboratory tasks for the educational discipline "Digital Image Processing", similar capabilities, functionality and syntax of both software packages have been ex

This study explores the use of isothermal calorimetry to assess heat release during the initial phases of dredged sediment stabilization with the primary goal of predicting the 28 days unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and enhancing the stabilization process' quality control (QC). The study was performed on dredged sediment (DS) samples collected from Göta river, Gothenburg, Sweden. The water

Introduction: Streptococcus pyogenes (group A streptococcus; GAS) is a pathogen causing over half a million deaths annually worldwide. Human immune cells respond to GAS infection by activating the NLRP3 inflammasome leading to the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines that control infection. We investigated the role of C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and factor H (FH) in the inflammasome response to GA
