Denna uppsats undersöker den medialt uppmärksammade “short squeezen” som ägde rum i GameStop i januari 2021. En “short squeeze” är ett fenomen där en hastig och substantiell prisökning sker i en aktie till följd av ett behov för investerare med korta positioner att likvidera dessa. När investerarna likviderar dessa positioner bidrar de till en ökad efterfrågan på aktien vilket orsakar den hastiga
The aim was to examine nurses and healthcare counselors reasoning about support for children as relatives of patients in adult psychiatric inpatient care. The healthcare law in Sweden, 5:7 HSL, describes children as entitled to information, advice and support by healthcare professionals when living together with adult relatives that have mental health illness. Previous research shows that children
The 2020 Black Lives Matter protests brought national attention to the issue of police brutality against black Americans. Across the US, millions of people participated in the protests. This study was conducted with the aim to study news coverage of those events from a socio-legal perspective. The purpose was to better understand the nexus of social movements, news media, and the law through t
The purpose of this study was to analyze hospital social workers experiences of asking patients and relatives about violence within the family. This study was based on a qualitative research design where we interviewed six hospital social workers at two children's hospitals located in the southern part of Sweden. We analyzed the collected data with selected theoretical perspectives about profe
Machine learning has acquired a lot of attention in the economic forecasting literature in recent years. In this thesis we forecast Swedish energy consumption and compare the forecasting performance of a machine learning technique with that of more traditional time series models. In fact, the LSTM neural network is compared with ARIMA and VAR forecasts. We conclude that in our setting, while these
The purpose of the study has been to investigate family therapists experience of working with families where a parent has mental illness. More specifically, how they experience obstacles and opportunities in this work and which forms of knowledge that get expressed when they describe their work with these families.

In this work we investigate the spin correlation effect of the interference between signal and irreducible background events present in top quark pair production at the LHC at LO in the dilepton channel. To simulate the high energy proton-proton collisions of the LHC, MadGraph5_aMC@NLO framework is used as an event generator. The spin correlations are explicitly measured via the lepton kinematics
Work-related threats and violence is a common problem that many social workers have to handle frequently. The definition of this phenomenon is ambiguous and social secretaries have to learn how to handle these types of situations. This bachelor thesis will focus on how they perceive this and how they cope with it, as well as the consequences of their perceptions and coping strategies. To answer th

More particularly, this research focuses on Lund University in Sweden, a service organization with significant international and societal influence. As service organizations face pressures to become more socially and environmentally sustaina
Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective
Ur ett demokratiskt perspektiv är muntlig framställning viktigt eftersom förmågan att göra sin röst hörd är såväl en rättighet som en skyldighet i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Dessutom är muntlig framställning ett krav för att elever i gymnasiet ska bli godkända i svenska. Att talrädsla är vanligt förekommande bland gymnasielever är således problematiskt. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka läTranslated title: “Many students find it difficult even if they do not suffer from speech anxiety”: An interview study on teachers’ perspectives on upper secondary school students’ speech anxiety and on oral presentations in relation to the democratic mission From a democratic perspective, oral proficiency is important since the ability to make one’s voice heard is a right as well as a responsibi
The main goal of the Paris agreement is to hold global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. A goal which requires a rapid peak and decline of global emissions. With the adoption of the Paris agreement, countries submitted Nationally Determined Contributions making national climate legislation a key tool for how to reach the goal. While the response so far has failed to reduce global emissions, climate
A growing population with increasing life expectancy means that the proportion of cognitively ill people is increasing. This puts pressure on the home care service due to lack of time and resources, which leads to a decline in the well-being and quality of life of care recipients. A consequence of cognitive illness is memory loss, which leads to everyday chores such as toothbrushing often being fo
Psykiska besvär är vanliga hos barn och ungdomar och gör det svårare att fungera i vardagen. Tidigare forskning visar flera samband mellan olika typer av psykiska besvär (symptomdimensioner) och funktionsområden (exempelvis skola, socialt), men det finns få studier som har undersökt flera symptomdimensioner och flera funktionsområden samtidigt. Den här uppsatsen undersökte samband mellan tre symptMental health problems are prevalent and impairing in childhood and adolescence. Earlier research shows multiple links between different mental health symptom dimensions and different areas of everyday functioning (e.g., school, friends), but there is a dearth of studies investigating multiple symptoms dimensions and multiple areas of functioning at the same time. This thesis investigated links be
The aim of this study was to understand social workers' descriptions about factors that affect and prevent young men from committing a delinquent act.

Under Covid-19 pandemin bromsades hela världsekonomin, arbetslösheten ökade både i Sverige men även i den resterande världen. För att stimulera ekonomin använder sig ett flertal länder av ett program som heter kvantitativa lättnader för att stimulerar ekonomin. Det är därför centralt att undersöka om de är kvantitativa lättnader som ledde till de accelererade aktiemarknaderna under Covid-19 pande

Swedish social workers are generalists and on the broad field of work are often employed with different titles. The profession of social workers is therefore considerably difficult to define. What does this mean for the social workers’ professional identity at large? The aim of this study was to give account to how newly graduated social workers experience and reason about their professional ident
