Responding to an identified knowledge gap, the study aims to determine if smaller wind turbines located on top of existing urban buildings are more resource efficient (land utilization and economically) than large scale wind farms. To answer this question, using a GIS, the resource efficiency of the Roan wind farm in Northern Norway was compared to a theoretical modeled installation of small-scale
The main concerns of food spoilage in fruit juices are the off-flavours and off-odours caused by microorganisms. In order to ensure high quality products, these microorganisms must therefore be eliminated or below a certain limit. Trials using pear concentrate, a ready-to-drink pear drink and a carbonated pear drink, were performed in order to compare two detection methods for three different grou
News reports about people being expelled from Sweden, even though they have lived in the country for several years, raise questions such as when a person can be seen as a member of the Swedish community. Even though they in some ways can be seen as a part of the community and being integrated, there seems to be more than just fulfilling some of the criteria that are often talked about in regard to
Studiens syfte var att utforska upplevda metodbrister hos patienter som inte blivit hjälpta av Panic Control Treatment (PCT) respektive Panic Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PFPP). Studiens urval var en del av projektet POSE, Psychotherapy outcome and self-selection effects for panic disorder, och bestod av 20 patienter med diagnosen panikångestsyndrom med eller utan agorafobi. Hälften hade bThe aim of this study was to explore patients’ experience of method deficiencies in Panic Control Treatment (PCT) and Panic Focused Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (PFPP) respectively. The sample of 20 patients was a subsample from the project POSE, Psychotherapy outcome and self-selection effects for panic disorder, where the patients had been diagnosed with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia

Under the background of the individualization of Chinese society, tongzhi has been pursuing to liberate homosexuality while encountering oppression from the family and the party-state.

This thesis examines first-order Bregman algorithms in a primal and a primal-dual setting. The Bregman gradient descent algorithm is introduced from a majorization-minimization perspective and as a generalization of the gradient descent algorithm. Concepts such as relative smoothness and Legendreness are defined and are shown to be natural restrictions in order to show convergence results. A speci
I first got introduced to wireless power during another school pro- ject that resulted in a wireless charging case. In that project I con- ducted a lot of market and technology research about wireless charging and wireless power in general. During that project I got in contact with a Malmö based company called Nok9. They develope and produce test equipment for developers of wireless power de- v
This study examines the importance of learning in the workplace and what employees believe is key to master so that they can improve their skills. This will improve our understanding of the workplace´s learning process and as a result, enhance its efficiency. In addition to that, the study will also investigate what employees feel supports or hinder their learning at the workplace. The study is ba
Bakgrund: Sjuksköterskor känner sig ofta oförberedda och osäkra på att vårda och bemöta HBTQIA+-personer, särskilt transpersoner. Syfte: att belysa hur sjuksköterskor upplever sin kompetens vid vårdmöten med transpersoner. Metod: Litteraturstudie med tematisk analys baserad på nio artiklar från databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Resultat: Fyra teman identifierades; brist på kunskap, rädsla för att gör
Agricultural fungicides are extensively used for infestation control, resulting in residues of these compounds in food. Human exposure to environmental contaminants might occur via different routes, such as inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Exposure to several pesticides has been associated with adverse human health outcomes. Our aim was to assess the stability as well as temporal trends of
In this essay, I make a landscape archaeological analysis of the parishes of Reslöv and Östra Karaby. By studying both the visible and the hidden cultural landscape, with a focus on the Middle Ages, I identify different structures in the landscape. The starting point is the registered monuments that are documented in the Cultural Environment Register at The Swedish National Heritage Board. By loca
This study aimed to examine what it means for counsellors in end-of-life care to work closely with death and the dying. The initial hypothesis was that there is something special about being in close contact with dying people and death. A qualitative approach was taken with an initial focus group of four professionals to study this. The goal of the focus group was to acquire knowledge on how this
Uppsatsen är en tudelad analys av barn- och ungdomsboken The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making av Catherynne M. Valente. Den första delen är en källtextanalys i vilken bland annat bokens kontext, teman, narration och stil studeras.

Rasism är ett fenomen som tycks ha förmåga att byta skepnad och anpassa sig till rådande omständigheter. Det behöver därför ständigt motarbetas för att minimera utanförskap och lidande. Problematiken drivs dock av starka underliggande psykologiska mekanismer som har visat sig mycket svåra att motarbeta. Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva dRacism is a phenomenon that seems to be able to shift shape and adjust to current circumstances. Therefore, it needs to be battled at all times to minimize exclusion and suffering. Furthermore, it is driven by underlying psychological mechanisms that have proven very difficult to counteract. A plethora of methods have been developed with the aim of reducing prejudice, which is considered the affec
This is a documentation of a bachelor examination project called “PORT:ABLE” done by Dominik Garstka. The project goal is a development of a product which makes any swing arm type lamp portable, by changing how the lamp receives power and how it is mounted. During the project a concept was developed and a display prototype was made.
Shoes today regularly use glue to hold the parts together, this makes it hard to restore the shoe when needed. So, instead of repairing the used shoe we buy new ones once it gets a little worn or tattered, even though the majority of the shoe is in good condition. My product has been developed by the principle of design for disassembly, to easily take it apart and recycle it. The modularit
A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical
This essay examines how Swedish newspapers portrayed the men's football world cup. The foundation of the study is set by researchers Lawrence Wenner & Andrew Billings and their findings that critical media coverage on sporting events is reported before it starts. The media's focus then often shifts to mainly concerning sport coverage once the event has started. The aim of this study is

Inom Sveriges gränser har Svenska kyrkan inte behövt bedriva någon mission på det sätt som man har bedrivit den i andra länder. Fram till 1951 då lagen om religionsfrihet infördes i Sverige, var de som begärde utträde ur Svenska kyrkan tvungen att inträda i ett av staten annat godkänt samfund. Så kom sekulariseringen kyrkan skildes från staten och med det, det fria valet att tillhöra det samfund s
