This thesis aims to examine whether archive pedagogy is a useful learning resource in school today, and if so, how this cooperation works in reality. We want to find out how the archive's educational resources are perceived by teachers and students, and where the possible obstacles may lay. By examining how teachers and students perceive the archive education, our study can contribute to bette

Focusing on Swedish text-based, public library professional communications, this study investigates how discursive constructions in relation to library makerspaces represent and endorse certain institutional values, librarian praxis, and development strategies. The analysis highlights characterisation patterns that emerge through the discursive constructions of making, makers, and makerspaces. It

The aim of this Master’s thesis is to analyse the discourse of accessibility at the Regional Archives in Lund. The focal point of the study is the interaction between the archivist and the user of the archival records, which stems from questions regarding how archival records are mediated in the dialogue between the archivist and the user, and if the archive’s construct of access is perceived as a

In order to simulate complex combustion systems, the kinetic mechanisms describing the chemical processes have to be reduced. To minimize the error introduced by the reduction, coefficients of the reaction rates included in the mechanisms can be adjusted in ways so that simulations using the reduced mechanism behave like simulations that use detailed mechanisms. One can then run simulations with d

Bakgrund: Reumatoid artrit (RA) är en av de vanligaste reumatiska sjukdomarna i Sverige och är vanligast förekommande bland kvinnor. Många personer med RA drabbas av den kroniska tröttheten fatigue, vilket på sistone har uppmärksammats som ett av de mest besvärliga symtomen vid RA. Att det idag inte finns tillräckligt med forskning kring hur RA-relaterad fatigue påverkar vardagen anser författarnaBackground: Reumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common rheumatic diseases in Sweden and is most frequent among women. Many people with RA get affected by the chronic tiredness fatigue, which lately has been noted as one of the most difficult symptoms along with RA. Since there is a lack of research regarding how RA-related fatigue affects everyday life, the authors consider this as a knowl

What's the point of a back cover? When converting an initially printed book into a digital format, the front cover is almost always included in the electronic file, the back cover however, is not. The aim of this thesis is to examine the back covers of picturebooks, based on what function they serve in relation to the work, as well as to intermediaries and readers of the work. With the theoret

The digitalization of the Swedish public sector has led to new responsibilities for the Swedish National Archives, Riksarkivet. This study investigates the Swedish National archives’ responsibility regarding the common specifications also known as CS. CS are, in short, standardization requirements for transcription metadata in the context of e-archives. The purpose of this thesis is to make visibl

Since 1766 the principle public access to official documents have been the main rule and secrecy the exception within the Swedish State. During the early 20th century this principle however became challenged by the emerging welfare state and its need to collect integrity sensitive data to achieve its goal of creating equal opportunities for all its citizens. As a result of this development several

Djupa faltningsnätverk har blivit otroligt populära de senaste åren tack vare sin förmåga att lära sig att förstå innehållet i signaler och bilder. Dessa djupa nätverk ligg\-er bakom moderna tekniker såsom självkörande bilar och avancerad ansiktsigenkänning i mobiltelefoner. Genom att undersöka hur strukturer kan utvinnas ur dessa nätverk så kan vi förbättra vår förmåga att lära oss nya problem.Deep convolutional neural networks are great at learning structures in signals and sequential data. Their performance have surpassed most non-convolutional algorithms on classical problems within the field of image analysis. A reason behind their success is that even though these networks generally need a great amount of examples to learn from, they can be used to learn smaller tasks through diffe

The city of Brăila, Romania, has been undergoing a lot of changes in the last two decades, but as the city is shrinking there is a new initiative to change the current paradigm and to reinvent the city. This process starts with the creation of an urban system with the neighboring city of Galați that will attract more funds from a regional and national level. The first steps have been taken in this

Undersökningen är indelad i två studier, studie 1 och studie 2. Syftet med studie 1 var att undersöka hur personal inom kommunal individ- och familjeomsorg och privat vårdkoncern värderade adjektiven i självskattningsformuläret Familjeklimat och om dessa uppfattades som positiva, neutrala eller negativa. I studie 2 som bestod av en klinisk och en icke-klinisk grupp undersöktes det om det gick att This research is based on two surveys, Study 1 and Study 2. The purpose of Study 1 was to find out how staff within municipal individual and family social service and private care groups valued adjectives in the Family Climate self-rating scale (Familjeklimat) and if they were perceived as positive, neutral or negative. In Study 2, consisting of a clinical and a non-clinical group, it was examined

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka ett eventuellt samband mellan allians och förbättring under de första tre samtalen i psykoterapi. Undersökningen utfördes i ordinarie primärvårdsverksamhet och behandlingen var reguljär psykologbehandling med KBT. I studien undersöktes även huruvida patienternas egen skattning av global hälsa vid behandlingsstart korrelerade med behandlingsutfall. EThe aim of this study was to investigate whether a correlation could be found between patient rated alliance and improvement within the first three sessions of psychotherapy. The survey was conducted in a Swedish primary care setting and the treatment given was CBT as would normally be given. The study also investigated whether initial patient rated global health correlated with outcome. A consecu

This thesis aims to understand the state of the Green Revolution movement in Ghana, with a focus on environmental policy and its potential for future development. The main research question applied is “What is the potential for an environmentally sustainable Green Revolution-type advancement in agriculture in Ghana?”. A quantitative, comparative case study methodology is applied, in which three

Anthropogenic use of nitrogen and phosphorus causes a risk to aquatic ecosystems and hence the livelihood of humans. To tackle this issue, the European Union have imposed environmental obligations on its member states to higher the quality of the aquatic environment. As a member state, Denmark is partly fulfilling these objectives by re-creating wetlands in the landscape, which retain and remove n

Inför kommande val rankas hälso- och sjukvårdsfrågorna som den viktigaste av väljarna. Problem som vårdköer, resursproblem och arbetsvillkor är några av de problem som lyfts fram som de viktigaste att åtgärda. Från medialt håll ligger fokus framförallt på vad de menar är en kraftig brist på sjuksköterskor. Samtidigt har antalet läkare ökat betydligt under en längre period. Från vårdens sida har my

För att undersöka eventuella samband mellan skolungdomars anknytningsmönster, känsla av sammanhang (SOC) och skolresultat, gjordes en undersökning av fyra samhällsvetenskapsklasser i årskurs 2 på en gymnasieskola i södra Sverige, totalt 82 respondenter. Anknytningsmönster undersöktes med hjälp av den svenska versionen av ASQ-formuläret, SOC-29 användes för att fastställa nivån av känsla av sammanhTo investigate possible relationships between attachment style, sense of coherence (SOC) and school results for adolescents, a study of four social science classes in grade 2 was conducted at a secondary school in southern Sweden, a total of 82 respondents. Attachment style was investigated using the Swedish version of the ASQ form, SOC-29 was used to determine the level of sense of coherence and

This research aims to understand the frames used by conspiracy theorists by establishing a new pathway in media framing, or in other words a media framing micro-theory, called conspiratorial framing​. The aims are accomplished through a critical analysis of the case of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, and InfoWars, the media channel through which Jones operates. Through frame analysis, accomplis

Bakgrund: Det opereras cirka 2000 patienter för rotatorkuffsuturering och cirka 3500 patienter för korsbandsrekonstruktion per år i Sverige. Båda patientgrupperna har i studier visats uppleva allvarlig postoperativ smärta vilket kan leda till kvarstående postoperativ smärta vid otillräcklig behandling. Otillräcklig postoperativ smärtbehandling kan även leda till en förlängd återhämtning, ökad morb

En aktiekurva är känd för att ha sina upp- och nedgångar, så kallade bull- och bearmarknader. I denna uppsats har en matematisk modell utvecklats för att genom historiska priser kunna förutsäga om marknaden i framtiden kommer gå upp eller ned. Att förutspå om börsen kommer att gå upp eller ned kan enligt vissa definieras som finansmarknadens heliga graal. För analytiker och förvaltare är arbetsuppThe work in this thesis is meant to improve an existing algorithm described in Nystrup (2017). As the original model uses a normal distribution to approximate the daily logarithmic returns, the authors of this thesis aim to improve the approximation by using Student’s t-distribution which may be a better approximation of financial data. The algorithm uses a two state hidden Markov model to estimat

Vården på en intensivvårdsavdelning kan vara en mycket påfrestande upplevelse för patienten. Vården kan upplevas som stressande, och den kan ge upphov till påfrestande minnen. Sådana påfrestande minnen kan skapa långvariga psykologiska besvär hos patienten. Tidigare forskning visar att män och kvinnor upplever och hanterar stress på olika sätt. Studien genomfördes därför för att undersöka om det f
