In the Nordic countries, an increasing part of the population consists of migrants from various backgrounds. Naturally, it is important to investigate what can be done in order for these migrants to integrate successfully. Previous research shows that some of the fundamentals of integration are trust and the sense of collective identity. Therefore, it is important to further investigate the compon

“Description of an adventurous journey – An analysis of the historical Johan Brelin’s different identities and his world view”. In the 1750s, the young Johan Brelin set sail on a Swedish East India Company ship heading towards Canton, modern day Guangzhou, China. During his travels, he wrote down a travelogue containing his observations of the world. While en route home towards Sweden, he acciden

As the need to adapt to a changing climate and the political rhetoric in this regard are growing, Berlin’s Senate has issued strategic policies – complemented by an increase of funding. Berlin’s socio-cultural features and place-based factors seem predisposed for so-called “Nature-based Solutions” (NbS) that can support the achievement of adaptation efforts. This encouraging context seems to be co

The purpose of this paper is to examine whether the real imbalances that have arisen in the economy since the introduction of the euro are improving over time. By using panel data to test for a unit root in and measuring the half-life of eleven euro countries’ real exchange rates under different exchange rate systems from 1957 to 2019, we can investigate how the euro has affected the deviations fr

The stratospheric aerosol load after the eruption of Raikoke in 2019 have been analysed with satellite data from the CALIPSO satellite. The goal was to see how much the stratospheric aerosol load increased due to the Brewer Dobson circulation, and further, how this affected the stratospheric aerosol optical depth (AOD), and the corresponding radiative forcing (RF). This was done by performing a da

Att inkorporera barnkonventionen till lag har varit debatterat under ett flertal år i Sverige. Ett antal utredningar har gjorts genom åren där man kommit fram till att inkorporering inte är nödvändigt för att jobba i enlighet med konventionen. Trots motstånd beslutade riksdagen 2018att barnkonventionen skulle bli lag och år 2020 trädde lagen i kraft. Beslutet bemöttes både negativt och positivt fr

Syftet med studien var att se hur fenomenet utbrändhet framställs i media. Studien utgår ifrån två svenska tidningar där urvalet gjorts utifrån frågeställningarna om orsak, uttryck samt lösningar. Studien har begränsats med ett fokus på arbetstagare inom människovårdande yrken. Den valda metoden var en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

The study relies on two swedish journals where the selection was made regarding to the questions cause, expression and solution with a focus on people employed in the human care business. The chosen method was a qualitative content analysis. This study is based on the theor

The High Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) at CERN, an improvement to the LHC, scheduled to be operating in 2027, will further the potential for scientific breakthroughs in High Energy Physics. The project’s demand in computational resources, however, is predicted to exceed what will be available then. Thus, efficiency optimization of Monte Carlo simulations of the collisions that occur in

This thesis explores the labour integration of documented-non-European immigrants into the Swedish labour market through their immigrants' networks. Most documented-non-European immigrants face labour integration challenges due to the lack of specific labour skills. In Sweden's case, most jobs on the labor market are highly-skilled jobs that require that the immigrant acquires or possesses

Vid partikelacceleratorn LHC pågår ett flertal experiment. Ett av dem är ALICE-experimentet där atomkärnor kollideras. När atomkärnor slås sönder bildas ett plasma av kvarkar och gluoner. I detta kvark–gluonplasma skapas bland annat nya exotiska kvarkar. En av dessa mer exotiska kvarkar är särkvarken. När tre stycken särkvarkar förenas så bildar de en Omega-partikel. Omegan sönderfaller i sin tur Ω- is a baryon which is rarely produced in proton collisions. The theoretical models for how these Ω- appear are yet not fully developed. Previous studies have shown that the experimental data did not agree with the models since more Ω- particles appeared in the proton collisions than expected. In the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) outside Geneva, protons are accelerated to high energies and collided

Bakgrund: Myalgisk encefalomyelit/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) är en kronisk sjukdom som ofta debuterar i samband med kraftiga virusinfektioner. ME/CFS kan förändra individens förmåga att utföra aktiviteter i vardagen och möjligheter att upprätthålla vanor och rutiner, dock saknas det kunskap om personernas egna upplevelser. Syfte: Syftet med intervjustudien är att undersöka hur vuxna personeBackground: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a chronic, disabling disease, which usually debuts in the wake of a severe virus infection. ME/CFS can influence a person’s ability to perform activities, to uphold routines and habits but there is little knowledge of their own experiences. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore how adults living with ME/CFS experience da

Sweden is facing a series of climate changes like the rest of world. The climate changes will contribute and subsequently change how we evaluate the risk of natural disasters. An important question is, therefore, how the municipal rescue services in Sweden are working towards climate change adaption. The aim of this study is to investigate how involved the communal rescue services are within the w

Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. The a

För att minska våra växthusgasutsläpp, och nå Parisavtalets utsläppsmål, spelar fysisk planering en viktig roll. En del av fysisk planering är översiktsplaner, övergripande planer som kommuner skapar för att planera mark-och vattenanvändningen i kommunen under en längre tid. De är inte lagligt bindande, och inte lika detaljerade som detaljplaner. Men hur påverkar översiktsplaner det lokala klimataTo reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases by local efforts, physical planning plays an essential part. It can have a great impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, by deciding important things as transport and energy planning. This study aims to examine the role of municipal comprehensive planning in the work to reduce greenhouse gases. The study is based on a case study of Lund municipality, car

This thesis, The intersections of labour division – an intersectional archaeological and osteological study of labour division, based on the Ljungbacka grave field in Scania, Sweden, has been written with the intention of exploring new ways to approach, interpret and understand labour division. This has been done by practically applying intersectional theories to the Ljungbacka grave field, Lockar

This thesis explores the parametric and nonparametric approaches for estimating Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall through foreign exchange exposure. The data for this study was provided by Trelleborg Group. We look at the translational risk on the balance sheet when translating the Groups investments in foreign subsidiaries to SEK. In the parametric approach we make the assumption that the po

“Egypt - The most remarkable land on earth: A comparison between Michael Eneman and Johan Hedenborg's descriptions of Egypt's monuments and population”. Egypt has throughout the ages always intrigued people, tempting their curiosity to explore and witness the old monuments. This essay aims to analyse two Swedish travelers who went on a journey to Egypt and then compare their descriptions o

Services trade is increasingly becoming more important in the international economy. However, barriers to trade in services remain more obstructive than those to trade in goods. This paper uses the OECD Services Trade Restrictiveness Index to analyze the relationship between restrictions to trade in services and cross-border service exports. The empirical analysis is carried through with the help
