Sverige skakades i början av år 2020 av nyheten att en treårig flicka hade hittats avliden i sitt hem. Flickan hade knappt ett år tidigare återförenats med sin familj efter att ha varit placerad i familjehem för vård enligt LVU sedan strax efter födseln. Samtidigt hade barnkonventionen precis blivit svensk lag. Flickans öde har lett till statliga utredningar för att ta reda på hur principen om barSweden was at the beginning of 2020 shaken by the news that a three-year-old girl had been found dead in her home. The girl had been reunited with her family a year earlier after being placed in a foster home for protective care shortly after birth. At the same time, the Convention on the Rights of the Child had just become law in Sweden. The child’s fate has led to government investigations to fi

Föroreningar av mark- och vattenområden, så kallade föroreningsskador, medför i regel höga kostnader att avhjälpa. För att undvika att kostnaden belastar statsbudgeten har ett avhjälpandeansvar införts i 10 kap. miljöbalken, enligt vilket i första hand verksamhetsutövare har ett ansvar för utredning, efterbehandling och andra åtgärder som krävs för att avhjälpa en föroreningsskada. VerksamhetsutövAfter-treatment of polluted land or water areas usually entails high costs. To avoid that the cost burdens the state budget, an after-treatment liability was introduced in chapter 10 of the Environmental Code, according to which operators primarily shall be liable for the cost of investigation, after-treatment and other measures required to remedy the pollution damage. As a general rule, the conce

Increasingly dominant Net Zero pledges to address climate change are promoting Nature-based Solutions (NbS) to excuse business-as-usual of fossil fuel use and land grabbing. Through Participatory Activist Research in collaboration with the Climate Land Ambition and Rights Alliance (CLARA), this thesis investigates how to challenge the corporate appropriation of NbS in the Net Zero narrative. Throu

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will

This thesis exists within the debate of sustainable environmental management, examining the potential of rights of nature in overcoming problems caused by the current neoliberal conservation paradigm such as inequalities in power, lack in indigenous inclusion, as well as using contextually inappropriate approaches. In examining this a qualitative comparative case study research design is applied o

By conducting interviews in order to understand what seems to be the most problematic aspect that leaves people sleepless at night I realized 6 things. 1. Seeing what time it is stresses people. 2. A lot of people wake up in the middle of the night. 3. They want an indication of time. 4. When they can’t sleep bad thoughts enter, preventing them from sleeping. 5. Many use the phone as a distraction

Our goal with this thesis was to develop an understanding of how social workers on financial assistance relate to the consideration of the child's best interests based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the handling of cases involving children. We considered this to be relevant since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law 1 January 2020. This c

Title: ‘’We are not managers, we are leaders’’ - A case study of a Leadership Development Program. Purpose: The aim is to gain insights in how individuals make sense of a leadership development program and acquire a more nuanced understanding on how they position themselves as a leader in the program. Theoretical background: The theoretical background provides previous research on leadership &

The fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions and has significant sustainability problems. To reduce those, a shift towards a Circular Economy is promoted as a holistic approach to system change. In order to show how the discourse, as opposed to this claim, reproduces the dominant structures of the fashion industry, a Critical Discourse Analysis is applied. Taking a political ec

In a country with a large historical and current share of emissions, recent climate inaction and political upheaval have disallowed substantial social-environmental reforms from being endorsed. This thesis critically examines the current cycle of contention in the United States by classifying the Sunrise Movement and the Democratic Socialists of America as social movement organizations through the

Villa San Michele and Villa Lysis, formerly homes to Swedish doctor Axel Munthe and baron Jacques d’Adelswärd Fersen, now stand as two museums in Capri, Italy. The essay investigates their current state through a phenomenological tour, complying with Tonino Grifferos’s theory of a neo-phenomenological and philosophic “pathic aesthetic”. This theory argues for the presence of the beholder in their

Syfte: Studien undersöker om det på ett reliabelt sätt går att använda en modifierad version av Pati-ent Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) för att skatta anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån inspelade psykoterapisessioner från fjärde sessionen under en korttidsterapi. Metod: Två oberoende observatörer har skattat anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån 30Objective: This thesis investigates if it is possible to use a modified version of Patient Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) estimating attachment style between patient and therapist dur- ing an early stage of short term psychotherapy in a reliable way using recorded psychotherapy ses- sions. Method: Recorded material from 30 psychotherapy sessions have been separately estimated by two

This study seeks to understand why and how Swedish MNE:s in the banking and telecommunication sectors decide to de-internationalize from foreign markets. Specifically, this question is addressed by examination of the driving motives behind the decisions, and the relevance of escalation theory to the decision making process. Through a qualitative and exploratory research design, this study examines

Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera ett nytt mått på psykologisk flexibilitet respektive inflexibilitet samt utforska hur psykologisk flexibilitet, mätt med detta nya mått, förhåller sig till psykiatriska symtom, upplevd livskvalitet samt ett tidigare etablerat mått på psykologisk flexibilitet. Studien syftade även till att undersöka huruvida varians i upplevd livskvalitet kan sägas medierasThe aim of this study was to evaluate a new measure of psychological flexibility and inflexibility and to investigate how psychological flexibility, measured with this new instrument, relates to psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, and to a commonly used measure of psychological inflexibility. A second aim was to investigate whether variation in perceived quality of life is mediated statisticall

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) process by simulating electron trajectories, and their resulting Extreme Ultra Violet (XUV) output. The HHG process is one in which a focused beam of infrared (IR) light can rival (in terms of intensity) the potentials of atoms, which makes tunnelling likely -- this sets off a chain of events resulting in an XUV pulse.

Despite being increasingly identified as main drivers of the global environmental emergency and existing inequalities, growth-driven economies have managed to perpetuate. Discursive practices are central to this perpetuation, strengthening the growth paradigm and its evolution towards ‘greener’ approaches, such as ‘green growth’. This work uses content analysis on presidential speeches to assess h

Barn och ungdomar med autismspektrumstörning (ASD) löper större risk att uppleva ångestsymtom av olika slag. Tidigare studier har visat att effekten av kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) kan minska ångest hos patienter med ASD. I denna litteraturöversikt har vi granskat den vetenskapliga och metodologiska kvaliteten i sju randomiserade kontrollerade studier (RKS), samt vilka KBT interventioner som kan Children and adolescents with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at greater risk of experiencing anxiety symptoms of various kinds. Previous studies have shown the effect of Cognitive behavior therapy to help reduce anxiety in patients with ASD. In this literature review, we examine the scientific and methodological quality of seven randomized controlled trials (RCT), as well as which CBT interven
