Mathematical models of wind induced circulation i a lake

Transient and stead y-state models for homogeneous and two-layered water masses are presented. The stationary models have been adapted to Lake Velen. The correspondencebetween theoretical and measured currents was good. A transport of momentum probably takesplace only where the thermocline touches the bottom. Knowledge of Ihe turbulent mechanismsis more important than the analytical approaches mad

Compassion fatigue bland lärare – reliabiliteten för en befintlig skala, dess samband med närliggande koncept samt kopplingen till benägenhet att agera vid mobbningssituationer i skolan

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f

Investigating Interference, and Context Presentation in Episodic Memory Through Behavioural and Pupillometry Studies.

This research aims to examine the effects of interference and context presentation during the retrieval of encoded information which was encoded in a dynamic context. To examine this, we conducted two experiments where there was a presentation of information where half of the overall encoded information shared a constituent with information that was encoded in another context. The remaining half o

Reklamidentifiering och medverkansansvar vid marknadsföring på sociala medier

Internetanvändning och sociala medier har under de senaste åren exploderat, var på reklamvärlden har stått inför en förändring.

Upplevelser av hur stigma kring psykisk ohälsa påverkar engagemang i aktivitet

Bakgrund: En förutsättning för ett gott aktivitetsengagemang är att personens omgivning motsvarar dennes förutsättningar och behov. Stigma kring psykisk ohälsa är ett komplext sociokulturellt fenomen som har negativ inverkan på aktivitetsmöjligheter inom olika livsområden. Syfte: Att undersöka hur upplevelser av stigma inverkar på aktivitetsengagemang hos vuxna med erfarenhet av psykisk ohälsa. MeBackground: A prerequisite for occupational engagement is that the environment matches the individuals’ needs and conditions. Stigma surrounding mental illness is a complex sociocultural phenomenon that can impact the individuals’ occupational possibilities in different areas of life. Aim: To examine the experience of how stigma impacts the occupational engagement in adults with mental illness. Me

Statistical analysis of LDMX data

This thesis explores a statistical framework for analysing LDMX data. It uses pre-built functions in the ROOT framework to calculate likelihoods and confidence levels (CL). Data, background and signal were generated in Monte Carlo simulations with a loose veto on signal in the Hcal with simple systematic uncertainties (for the background and signal) created by varying this selection. The data sets

Preserved blood-brain barrier and neurovascular coupling in female 5xFAD model of Alzheimer's disease

INTRODUCTION: Dysfunction of the cerebral vasculature is considered one of the key components of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the mechanisms affecting individual brain vessels are poorly understood.METHODS: Here, using in vivo two-photon microscopy in superficial cortical layers and ex vivo imaging across brain regions, we characterized blood-brain barrier (BBB) function and neurovascular couplin

Effects of Prolonged Electricity Supply Disruptions on Critical Entities

This study investigates Swedish critical entities (CEs) ability to maintain function during up to three months of electricity supply disruptions. It also examines possible improvement measures, and how contextual cases (grey zone, heightened state of alert, war) influence CEs’ ability to maintain function during electricity supply disruptions. Expert elicitation was conducted with experts from eig

Pandemins påverkan av ofrivillig isolering för gymnasieelever

Syftet med studien är att undersöka gymnasieelevers upplevelse av den ofrivilliga isoleringen som tillkom av pandemins restriktioner.Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär där empirin har samlats in via djupintervjuer med sex gymnasieelever som upplevt restriktioner i samband med pandemin i form av distansstudier.Materialet visar att gymnasieelever har haft olika upplevelser av den ofrivilliga isolerin

Powering up profits - Integrating Power Purchase Agreements and Battery Systems for Nordic Power Futures

Denna masteruppstats ämnar utröna lönsamheten och de faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten vid ingåendet av en kort position i finansiella derivat på den nordiska elmarknaden samtidigt som motsvarade position anskaffas genom handel på Nord Pools day-ahead (DA) marknad och via så kallade pay-as-produce Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), samt genom tillämpandet av batterilager för att mitigera effekterna This master’s thesis aims to assess the profitability and the factors impacting the profitability of entering a short position in financial derivative contracts on the Nordic power market while procuring electricity through a pay-as-produced power purchase contract and on the day-ahead (DA) market, simultaneously the strategy utilizes a battery storage system to mitigate the effects of price spike

EU Copyright and Competition Law - "Under which conditions may a refusal to license copyright-protected content constitute an abuse of a dominant position?"

The topic that this thesis aims to investigate is that of the intersection of intellectual property rights (more specifically copyright) and EU competition law. The research is carried out with the purpose of exploring the following two questions; namely to what extent the interest of further competition is reflected internally within the scope of copyright protection, as well as, under what condi

From Kink and Fetish to BIPOC and Trans: The Diversification of a Multi-Generational Nonprofit

Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become an important part of justice work in today’s society. Nevertheless, many non-profits still fail to diversify. While previous research has examined methods for an organization to successfully diversify, there has been a distinct lack of research on how these methods play out in an intersectional manner. This study aims to better understand these processe

The State of the Guatemalan Education System through an Analysis of Teachers’ Education Programs

Improvement of the Guatemalan national education system is a center for development. Many attempts have been made over the years to improve the system; one, in particular, is the creation of the National System for Teacher Training. This paper reviews the changes made to the National System for Teacher Training (SNFD) and places them into the larger context of the Guatemalan educational system. Th

The Impact of Policy on the Production of Liquid Biofuels

In the following thesis, the development of the biofuels sector in the United States will be analysed using environmental economics. Around year 2005, there was a significant increase in the production of liquid biofuels. Hence, the thesis aims to explore the reasons behind the increase. Acts of government have been analysed while enlisting the help of summaries and overviews accessed through v

Loneliness cannot be seen, but it can be talked about

Studies and public health reports indicate that newly arrived refugees in Sweden experience poorer health and well-being compared to the general population, particularly among women. Research has also demonstrated that migrants' health not only starts off deprived upon arrival but also deteriorates over time. This thesis investigates the health challenges faced by immigrant women in Malmö and
