Bakgrund: Arbetet är ofta en central del av en persons sociala sammanhang och att kunna arbeta är en stor del av en persons upplevelse av identitet och kapacitet. Bland personer som lever med reumatoid artrit (RA) kan 50% inte arbeta tre år efter diagnosen ställts, trots att det ofta finns en vilja att arbeta. Syfte: Att undersöka hur yrkesverksamma personer som lever med RA upplever sitt arbete.

Although a large volume of work has been conducted regarding tourism industries across the world, the dominant analysis in the geographies of tourism tends to draw upon post-modern discourse analysis and representational theories. This has resulted in calls to develop more materialist analyses of tourism landscapes. Using the case study of Long Bay, a small coastal settlement in Portland parish, J

Malmö city has decided to change their routines regarding aid to housing. The routines now contain a division between who is entitled to get aid from social services and who is not, that is between people in social homelessness and people in structural homelessness. Prior to the change, this division did not exist. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how the governing documents legitimi

Today, digital services and digitization are natural parts of the library operations in Sweden, with the leading player, the National Library of Sweden, as a driving force. However, it is unclear which presumptions about digitalization support these activities. In this master’s thesis I therefore examine the underlying assumptions, and the way they influence how the concept of digitalization is un

Librarians and libraries’ work with information mediation are a vital part of facilitating and delivering information in society. Libraries and librarians’ efforts in making information regarding sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) available is important both in terms of upholding democratic rights as well as improving personal health.

The aim of this thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how librarians in Swedish public- and academic libraries approach the much-disputed question regarding the acquisition of controversial materials. This study is based on six semi-structured interviews with seven different librarians working in either public- or academic libraries in the south of Sweden, all assigned with the task of acqui

The purpose of this study is to examine whether gender-based price discrimination occurs on the Swedish market. If shown, an additional analysis of the result is made to study which gender is subject to discrimination and thus draws a disadvantage on the Swedish market. In order to examine this question, the study is completed with descriptive statistics, linear regression analysis as well as non-

The aim of the study was to examine how social workers from different sectors of the healthcare system reason regarding their possibilities to use their discretion to care for the psychosocial perspective. To achieve this, we performed eight qualitative, semi-structured interviews with health care social workers from the different sectors; psychiatry, somatics, primary care and habilitation. To an

In recent years, negative emissions technologies (NETs) have gained attention as a strategy to tackle climate change. While the academic debate on NETs has been heated, international and national governance frameworks for regulating and incentivising the technologies largely remain unseen. In this thesis, I add to a growing debate concerning the governance of NETs with an empirical investigation o

Rooted in the environmental movement, the climate movement in Sweden is on the rise and increasingly gaining support in its fight against climate change and its unequal impacts. If successful, the movement can play an important role in changing society. There is increased awareness and proof of the gendered effects of climate change, but awareness of the role of gender in the climate movement seem

This study examines the effect of governmental market intervention on MNCs´ internationalization process and operations in a foreign market. A divergence is proposed between past literature´s dominant view of government intervention as a constraining factor for MNCs, with the observation of many MNCs operating in Singapore, whose government takes a clear interventionist stance in the market. There

Archivists tackle a variety of problems in their daily work, among them are issues concerning privacy-based material. This work demands a good understanding of the laws which govern this practice, laws comprising the Freedom of the Press Act (tryckfrihetsförordningen SFS 1949:105), the Public Access and Security Act (offentlighets- och sekretsslagen SFS 2009:400), and the Archival Law (arkivlagen

Innovation enablement is of growing importance in order to stay competitive in the financial services sector. Although frontline employees are considered to be valuable innovators, the research about their involvement in the innovation process is still in its infancy. The existing literature acknowledges that the overall participation of these employees in the innovations is limited, without furth

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en högre grad harmonisering mellan GAAP och IFRS har lett till en mindre skillnad i REM och AEM samt hur företag inom båda regelverken har hanterat EM under tidsperioden. Studien är kvantitativ med en deduktiv ansats och undersöker åren 2002–2019. För att beräkna användandet av AEM används den modifierade Jones modellen. För att beräkna användandet av REM

Partikelfysikexperimenten vid "The Large Hadron Collider" i Genéve utforskar de mest grundläggande frågorna i fysiken, genom att mäta resterna av elementärpartiklar som kollideras vid väldigt hög hastighet. En accepterad modell av fundamentala partiklar och deras kopplingar beskrivs idag av standarmodellen, en modell som utan tvekan har stora brister. ATLAS-experimentet vid "The LarLimited data storage capability is a large obstacle for saving data in high energy particle physics. One method of partially circumventing these limitations, is trigger level analysis (TLA) as used by the ATLAS experiment. The efficiency of TLA can be further increased by doing effective data compression. One class of artificial neural networks are called autoencoders, which may be used for data
