In this project I have studied the effect of gas expulsion on the evolution of stellar clusters. What effect the rate of gas removal and the quantity of gas removed has on the evolution on the cluster will be studied through computer simulations with the NBody6 code and compared to analytical predictions. The rate at which gas is removed has a very significant impact on how the cluster evolves

Supervisor: Marianne Larsson Lindahl Assessor: Max Koch, Anna Meeuwisse The aim of this study was to examine the extent to which patients were informed about the possibility of rehabilitation. Further, to investig
Abstract There are numerous definitions for what well-being means to elderly people. Societal laws and guidelines also create a norm for how wellbeing can be achieved within the care of the elderly. Along with research describing and detailing different perspectives on the well-being of the elderly, we have also interviewed a selection of persons currently receiving elderly care and asked them how
Denna studie undersöker tillståndsprocessen för stora landbaserade vindkraftverk i Sverige. För att bygga en gruppstation med fler än sju vindkraftverk som är högre än 120 meter eller enstaka verk högre än 150 meter krävs tillstånd från Länsstyrelsen. Tillståndsansökningar till Länsstyrelsen kräver att den kommun där vindkraftverken ska placeras ger sin tillstyrkan enligt 16 kap. 4 § i Miljöbalken
Abstract Author: Ella-Kari Meyrell Title: Strategy for welfare - a discourse analytical study of culture in health, social care and school organizations Supervisor: Håkan Jönson Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort The aim of this study was to examine how culture (as “the arts”) is constructed as a strategy in welfare work. The empirical material was based upon 160 articles from Swedish printed and web base
Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been investigated recently in false memories and specifically in the DRM paradigm. EMDR has been shown to decrease emotionality of the problematic memories in PTSD, but also to decrease false memories. No studies have to date shown how emotion and memory is effected by EMDR in the DRM paradigm when non-emotional wordlists are coupled with a nega
The goal of this investigation is to study the performance of two different aspects of neural network ensembles: one ensemble contains over-trained networks and the other very many members. The over-training of the networks within the first ensemble is achieved with a larger number of hidden neurons than the approximation task in question would require. The result of the investigation is that over
This thesis analyses the impact of social networks on technology adoption among smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. The effects of four types of social networks on adoption of fertilizer and soil conservation practices were estimated using a sample of households from the Ethiopian Rural Household Surveys (ERHS). Trusted kinship links were found to have a small but positive effect on fertilizer adopti
In recent years, decreased meat consumption has been emphasized as important for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The municipality of Lund is working to reduce its meat consumption by serving vegetarian food once a week in the municipal schools. The results differ between schools, where students in some schools have accepted the vegetarian food while students in other schools have not. The purpo
In this thesis, a qualitative comparative case study has been conducted in five production companies. This has been made to get an understanding of how companies work with Lean and environmental management. Four interviews were conducted and two survey responses were received and there were eight open-ended questions where respondents were relatively free to talk about their experiences. The quest
Projektet har genomförts med hjälp av litteraturstudier. Undersökningarna i litteraturen har byggt på geografisk informationssystem (GIS), digital terrängmodell (DTM), fältundersökning och seismisk reflektion. I projektet har det redogjorts skillnader och likheter mellan forntida och moderna drumliner och ett försök att bestämma hur vanliga drumliner är vid moderna glaciärer. Studien visade att liThe project has been implemented by means of literature studies. The studies in the literature have been based on geographical information systems (GIS), digital terrain model (DTM), field survey and seismic reflection. The project has been outlined the differences and similarities between ancient and modern drumlins and an attempt to determine how common drumlins are at modern glaciers. The study
The average woman uses 11,000 tampons during her lifetime. Both sanitary pads and tampons have been proven to contain low levels of dioxins, which are a group of highly toxic environmental pollutants known to cause cancer, reproductive damage and endocrine disruption. Some scientists have concluded that dioxin levels in tampons are insignificant to the overall dioxin exposure of menstruating women
Med systemdokumentation som centralt begrepp utreder vi i studien hur agila projekt i Scrum värdesätter och hanterar skapandet av systemdokumentation. Systemdokumentation, per definition beskriver ett system och hur det är uppbyggt. Vi tittar på olika typer av systemdokumentation med ett antal aspekter och begrepp som vi sammanfattar i en undersökningsmodell, vilken varit utgångspunkten för vår em
Denna studie behandlar gamification som strategi för att skapa användarengagemang. Gamification innebär användandet av spelmekanismer inom icke spelkontexter. Vi har genomfört en kvalitativ intervjustudie om gamifications potential att påverka resenärers beteende, med fokus på att få dem att resa mer kollektivt. Användandet av spelmekanismer syftar till att i ett första skede skapa yttre motivati
För ca 13 000 år sedan bildades ett skarpt avgränsat mörkare sedimentlager i Barsebäcks mosse, då en sjö, idag ett kärr, i sydvästra Skåne. Detta ”mystiska lager” skiljer sig markant från omgivande lager. Vid tidigare studier samt vid fältkurser med studenter från Lunds universitet har detta mystiska lager dykt upp på några meters djup i borrkärnor. För att lösa mysteriet med hur ”det mystiska lagSediment cores from Barsebäcks mosse, an overgrown lake in southwestern Sweden, display a mysterious sediment layer at a few meters depth. The enigmatic dark-coloured layer is in clear contrast to surrounding light coloured calcareous sediments. A 14C analysis provides an age of 12,760-13,075 cal. yr BP. The dating puts the depositional time to the end of the Late-glacial Allerød warm period. This
Allt fler företag använder internet och sociala medier för att kommunicera med konsumenter, genom dessa medier har de möjlighet att sprida information om sig själva samt direkt få feedback från allmänheten. Det här har påverkat företags sätt att utbyta information med konsumenter och medför därför nya risker och möjligheter för företag att beakta. Studien undersöker hur företag använder och förval
Användandet av tvång inom den psykiatriska vården för patienter med självskadebeteende är utbrett. Individer som skadar sig tillfrågas sällan om sina upplevelser av vården, än mindre om sina upplevelser av tvång. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur personer som vårdats för självskadebeteende upplever en vård med tvångsinslag och hur de tänker att tvång kan undvikas. Semistrukturerade intervjuer gThe use of coercion is common in psychiatric care for patients with self-injurious behaviour. These patients are seldom asked about their experiences of being cared for, and even less about their experiences of coercion. The aim of this study was to examine these patients’ experiences of being subjected to coercion in psychiatric care and how they think coercion can be avoided. Semi-structured int
