The purpose of the study is to study the self-image of OST (opioid substitution therapy) -counselor’s and perception of their work in relation to how the healthcare professionals perceives the counselor’s role, in order to contribute to increased understanding of possible knowledge gaps and difficulties which may limit the counselors ability to perform her job or hence the use of her competence to

True Crime tycks med tiden bara växa mer och mer som populärkulturellt fenomen. Att konsumera underhållningsmedia vars huvudsakliga innehåll innefattar redogörelser, förklaringar och diskussioner kring ofta våldsamma brott är något som uppenbarligen lockar. Vi får genom dokumentärer, podcasts och filmer se, läsa och höra om inblandade gärningspersoner och offer och de morbida situationerna som kan

This thesis aims to describe the little group scaling and how it simplifies the calculation of scattering amplitudes. The little group has the defining property that it leaves a particular four-momentum invariant, which is used to describe how the internal structure of a particle is transformed under the little group. An important part in the study of little group scaling is the spinor-helicity fo

Hotet mot staden: Vattnet och klimatförändringarna Klimatförändringarna kommer att göra staden mer utsatt för översvämningar från hav, regn och naturliga vattendrag, vilket riskerar att skada närliggande byggnader och infrastruktur. Västra Trelleborg är redan idag drabbat av översvämningar till följd av regn, flödet i Ståstorpsån och höga havsnivåer, och påverkan kommer att öka under det kommandeOne of the greatest challenges for today’s society is the effect of climate change and especially its impact on urban coastal cities. In southern Sweden, a future climate is forecast to result in higher peak rainfall intensities, higher sea levels and higher yearly river flows. Compound events and seasonal variability are novel areas of expertise, but earlier studies and reports have concluded tha

En av polismyndighetens viktigaste arbetsuppgifter är att arbeta brottspreventivt. Detta görs både genom social och situationell brottsprevention, ofta inom ramen för en modell eller ett projekt. En aktuell modell är BID (Business Improvement District), vilken utgår från ett samarbete mellan olika aktörer med utgångspunkt att göra ett område “clean and safe”. Detta görs i syfte att stärka näringsl

In the field of patent law, the doctrine of equivalence extends the scope of a patent beyond its literal language to cover inconsequential variations of a patentable invention. This doctrine is arguably one of the most important aspects of patent law. The protection a patent confers is meaningless if its scope is determined to be so narrow that trivial changes to a device bring it out of the bound

Method: Literature review and use of other technological fields related to aviation. The study is limited to a pilot’s operational view. Result: Weather presentations have had a slow development within th

Konflikt är en grogrund för könsbaserat våld. Tidigare diskriminerande strukturer förstärks och mynnar ut i våld inom ramen för konflikten. I komplexa kontexter präglade av religiösa, etniska och/eller politiska slitningar förstärks vissa individers utsatthet. Under ISIS attack mot Sinjar-regionen i norra Irak utgjorde den religiösa minoritetsgruppen Yazidier måltavlan. Genom ett systematisk förfaConflict is a breeding ground for gender-based violence. Previous discriminatory structures are reinforced and often result in conflict-related gender-based violence. In complex contexts characterized by religious, ethnic and / or political frictions, the vulnerability of some individuals is exacerbated. During the ISIS attack in the Sinjar region in northern Iraq, the religious minority group Yaz

This essay will discuss how public art is debated in Swedish newspapers. Selected artworks for this study are the mural painting Fuck the world by Carolina Falkholt; the installation Du gamla, du fria by Mattias Norström; and Peter Lindes statue of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The artworks have been debated both by members of the public and politicians and the debates actualize questions about gender and n

Den globala urbana ytan har mer än fördubblats de senaste 30 åren, vilket är en stor bidragande orsak till utarmningen av den biologiska mångfalden eftersom växter och djurs livsmiljöer ofta förstörs eller förminskas vid exploatering. För att vända denna trend – men utan att bromsa samhällsutvecklingen – lyfts ekologisk kompensation fram som ett viktigt verktyg, vilket blivit alltmer populärt inomBiodiversity offsetting, an increasingly popular tool in Swedish municipality planning, aims to counterbalance biodiversity impacts from development projects as the last step of the mitigation hierarchy. However, previous studies of the outcomes are scarce and ambiguous which calls for continued evaluation. This study aims to examine offsetting measures in Lomma municipality. Planned measures in f

Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is nowadays suggested as a fourth (quaternary) treatment step at municipal wastewater treatment plants to remove certain chemicals and particularly organic micropollutants (OMPs). This work investigated the different factors that affect the performance of the GAC filter for the removal of micropollutants in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This study is purel

Detta är en kvalitativ studie som syftar till att undersöka hur Flashbackanvändare beskriver gärningspersonerna i fallen Knutbymordet samt Arbogamordet, med särskilt fokus på att jämföra hur de manliga respektive kvinnliga gärningspersonerna beskrivs. Frågeställningen som studien ämnar besvara är: Hur beskrivs de manliga respektive kvinnliga gärningspersonerna i ”Arbogamordet” och ”Knutbymordet” p

The thesis investigates the effects of the Italian Monetary Union on the North and South Italian development from 1870 to 1914. Through a quantitative analysis of the Italian Lira’s exchange rate and regional export prices, the work observes a loss in the competitiveness of Southern export-oriented entities compared to the Northern ones. However, under the thesis perspective, the impact of the sin

This study aims to investigate how the Swedish feminist foreign policy is understood by NGOs in development aid work who receive government funding, and how one can understand this through a feminist postcolonial and postmodern perspective. To gain a better insight and understanding of this, the focus has been on the close links between different notions within feminist postcolonial and feminist p

Massan i vår galax Vintergatan, består av en idag stor del okänd massa som kallas mörk materia. Den mörka materian motsvarar ungefär 80\% av den totala massan i vår galax. Att ta reda på naturen till denna mörka materia är idag ett hett forskningsområde i både astrofysik och partikelfysik. Trots årtionden av experiment med mål att hitta dessa partiklar som denna massa består av har vi än idag gåttStellar streams are made of stars that originate from globular clusters or dwarf satellite galaxies that have been disturbed by the gravitational pull from the galaxy they orbit. These stellar streams hold information about the history of the progenitor as well as information about the gravitational potential of the host galaxy. In this thesis we make use of the high resolution cosmological zoom s

Inom matematiken är det ofta viktigt och användbart att "maximizera" en derivata. Det betyder att man hittar en funktion som har den största derivatan i en punkt bland en familj av funktioner. Detta kallas för ett "extremal problem" och vi söker en lösning till detta problemet. Den finska matematikern Lars Ahlfors upptäckte en sådan lösning i 1947. I denna uppsatsen kommer vi uExtremal problems in analysis have been studied for more than a hundred years. The so called Ahlfors function is the solution to one such problem. In this thesis, we shall study several properties of this function in a most general domain. We will consider the Ahlfors function in the context of analytic capacity, and also relate it to Riemann maps of simply connected domains onto the unit disk. Ou

Within recent years, the concept of Humanitarian Innovation (HI) has emerged and received growing attention within the humanitarian system as a critical means of adapting to growing complexities, uncertainties and resource scarcity. While perceived as a means of stimulating broader system changes and increasing effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian assistance, current efforts of HI have met
