Skolan har en brottsförebyggande funktion. Genom att forma normer och värderingar hos elever kan skolan motverka beteenden och uppfattningar relaterade till brott och kriminalitet. Skolan kan även uppmärksamma och förhindra normbrytande beteenden som kan innebära en ökad risk för avvikelser senare i livet. För att skolan ska kunna ha en brottspreventiv verkan är det dock avgörande att eleverna när

This paper focuses on constructing models that predict a Value at Risk (VaR) estimation for financial portfolios using hierarchical clustering and copulas. Traditional VaR models often assume linear dependencies and normal distributions, which can be poor assumptions for financial data - especially during extreme market events. This paper introduces a non-linear modeling approach using copulas to

Examensarbetet gjordes i samarbete med La Isla Network (LIN), en icke vinstdrivande amerikansk organisation som bekämpar konsekvenserna av yrkesrelaterad värmeexponering. Värmestress utgör ett betydande hot mot individer engagerade i fysiskt arbete under varma förhållanden, med potentiellt dödliga konsekvenser. För att minska dessa risker har LIN utvecklat programmet RSH-S (Rest, Shade, Hydration,The thesis was done in collaboration with La Isla Network (LIN), a US-based non-profit organization dedicated to combating the consequences of occupational heat exposure. Heat stress poses a significant threat to individuals engaged in physical labor in warm conditions, with potentially fatal consequences.

Despite the current recognition and discussions surrounding corporate sustainability, the topic remains highly complex, with significant uncertainties regarding how to integrate sustainability into daily operations. Hence, it becomes increasingly important for managers to develop a comprehensive understanding of how to implement corporate sustainability strategies. Therefore, this thesis investiga

This thesis investigates the perception of prominent syllables in Japanese words by native Swedish speakers. The study explores factors such as word type, pitch placement, and sentence structure that influence L1 Swedish speakers' accuracy in identifying the prominent syllable in Japanese words. The study also highlights the influence of linguistic context and individual variation on the perce

Trauma i barndomen har en betydande inverkan på livslång fysisk och mental hälsa samt utveckling. Tidiga interventioner stärker barnets motståndskraft och mildrar traumans långsiktiga effekter på välbefinnandet. En sådan intervention går ut på att utbilda viktiga vuxna i barnets omgivning för att skapa en gynnsam miljö. Traumamedveten omsorg (TMO) är en intervention som erbjuds som ett utbildningsChildhood trauma significantly impacts lifelong physical and mental health and development. Early interventions enhance child resilience and mitigate trauma's long-term effects on wellbeing. One such intervention is educating adults significant in the child’s life to create a nurturing environment. Trauma-informed Care (TIC, in Swedish “Traumamedveten Omsorg”, TMO) is an intervention offered a

Svensk och dansk standard skiljer sig åt vid beräkning av pålars bärförmåga i lermorän, där den svenska metoden i tidigare undersökningar har konstaterats mest konservativ. En av anledningarna till detta är att spetsens inverkan på bärigheten beaktas vid dimensionering enligt dansk standard, men bortses från när svensk standard tillämpas. Svensk standard appliceras idag med utgångspunkt i samma me

Throughout the past, cities have been designed so that cars have become the centre of the streetscape, and pedestrians have come second. This led to wide streets, street parking, and smaller city sidewalks. However, pedestrians are the ones who bring life and movement to a street or square. Currently, more municipalities want to shift their focus to the centre of their cities and reduce access (d‘

The seemingly unbreakable consumer loyalty a football team enjoys is arguably unique in the corporate world, and we aim to examine this loyalty and its influence on the brand-consumer relationship. Theory: The theory used in this thesis is centred around brand loyalty and con

The aim of this project is to establish a workflow that transforms CT-scanned images of paperboard into a calibrated Representative Volume Element (RVE). A RVE is defined as the smallest volume that accurately captures the macroscopic behaviour of the material. First, CT-scanned images are converted into a finite element model that rep- resents the microstructure of the paperboard. Secondly, a di

The widespread use of plastic mulch in agriculture is rapidly increasing due to intensified farming practices. While plastic mulch can enhance crop yields significantly, it also introduces challenges related to waste management and environmental degradation. This study focuses on the application of Sentinel-2A imagery and the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) to classify plastic foils used in ea
