Denna studie syftade till att undersöka relationen mellan attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och två potentiella prediktorer; belief in a just world och ålder (n =116). För att genomföra studien användes en digital enkät som inkluderade demografiska frågor samt två befintliga skalor avsedda att mäta respondenternas attityder gentemot drogmissbrukare och värdering av belief in a just world. DataanaThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between attitudes towards drug addicts and two potential predictors; belief in a just world and age (n =116). To conduct the study, a digital survey was used, which included demographic questions and two existing scales intended to measure respondents' attitudes towards drug addicts as well as their Belief in a Just World. Data analysis was perf

Accurate measurement of human gait parameters is crucial for understanding movement patterns, diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders, and evaluating intervention effectiveness. Force plates have traditionally been the gold standard when measuring ground reaction forces and moments during a recording in gait analysis. Recently, pressure mats have emerged as an alternative, offering portability and ve

Denna studie tar avstamp i den tudelade akademiska debatten kring vilka potentialer och fallgropar det finns för tillfällig användning av stadens mellanrum, och har syftat till att undersöka hur Institut for (x) har lyckats upprätthålla sin tillfälliga användning av Godsbanearealerne i Aarhus över en längre tidsperiod. Genom intervjuer med representanter för Institut for (x) och Aarhus kommun, harAgainst the backdrop of a divided academic debate on the potentials and pitfalls for temporary use of urban space, this essay aims to explore how Institut for (x) as a temporary use project has been able to maintain their use of Godsbanearealerne in Aarhus over a longer period of time. This has been done through interviews with representatives of Institut for (x) and Aarhus municipality, where the

The purpose of the study was to gain a better understanding of informal leadership on the flight deck and how leadership can be effectively practiced by a first officer from the right seat, with the intention to strengthen team performance. The research question tried to answer if informal leadership is present on the flight deck and what factors contribute to the first officer’s ability to influe

Uppsatsen är en narrativanalys som undersöker ur ett postkolonialt perspektiv Förenta Nationernas (FN) aktörskap i kriser, specifikt epidemier som inte orsakats av särskilda aktörer. Epidemierna som analyseras är aidskrisen (1981-1990) och ebolakrisen (2013-2016) med ursprung i Afrika. Inom den internationella politiska sfären är FN en stor aktör. Det är en av modern tids viktigaste samlingsplatse

A study has been created to develop a method quantifying the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) nicotine in tablets with near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy using chemometrics. The current technique, liquid chromatography (UHPLC), used to determine the nicotine content in tablets is time consuming and require sample preparation. NIR spectroscopy is non-destructive and the implementation of NIR sp

Bakgrund: Sexuell hälsa och sexualitet är en del av människans vardagsliv och viktigt att lyfta inom psykiatrin då psykiska sjukdomar och ohälsa kan påverka klientens sexualitet och relationer negativt. Syfte: Att undersöka hur yrkesverksamma arbetsterapeuter förhåller sig till sexuell hälsa och sexualitet i arbetet med vuxna klienter inom psykiatrin. Metod: En kvalitativ studie baserad på nio iBackground: Sexual health and sexuality are part of everyday life. In mental health services it is an important topic to address since mental illness can negatively impact the client’s sexuality and relationships. Aim: To explore occupational therapist’s approach to sexual health and sexuality in their work in mental health services with adults. Method: A qualitative study based on nine interview

In this study, over 2000 Milky Way stars were analyzed in the [Mg/Mn] vs [Al/Fe] chemical plane to identify accreted stars. The Milky Way's faster star formation enriches disk stars with iron-peak elements such as Mn and reduces alpha elements like Mg. Accreted stars, originating from slower star formation rate environments, exhibit lower metallicities, reflected in lower [Al/Fe]. The study ev

In an era dominated by digital interfaces, our desire to reintegrate tactile and physical elements into our daily interactions has intensified. By acknowledging the resurgence of vinyl records and the persistent rise of physical music formats, our project seeks to recapture the ritual of music listening that has been lost in the digital age. Our design reflects a conscious effort to create a funct

To meet 2030 climate goals, industries and governments are adopting circular economy principles to mitigate the building industry's environmental impact through reusing, recovering, and recycling. This report incorporates circularity by examining the adaptive reuse of HVAC components in a case study in Malmö, Sweden. Firstly, the report determined which elements of an HVAC system had the highe

This thesis deals with the characterization of the approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving an innovative and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During this thesis work, Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) were studied for the first large-scale prototype of the upgrade, together with a sensor of the same technology with smaller size. Properties of t

This study examined discussions of the "LVU Campaign" on the Swedish forum "Flashback". LVU, the Swedish Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (SFS 1990:52), allows social services to take children into care without parental consent if it is in the best interest of the child. Discourse analysis, using Discourse Theory, was conducted on three forum threads. Two discours

Every day more devices all over the world are connected to networks. Some of these devices have microphones that could potentially be used in a networked array. This opens up the possibility to determine where sounds in the environment are produced, given the positions of the microphones are known. This thesis investigates the feasibility of using a number of network connected speakers with built-

This thesis investigates the causal relationship between board diversity and the performance of firms that have gone public in the Nordics through Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) during the 2020s, a period characterised by significant economic, regulatory, and demographic shifts. By implementing a robust instrumental variable (IV) approach with the Bartik shift-share instrument, the study examines

Amidst global efforts to address pressing environmental challenges and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, education for sustainable development emerges as a pivotal tool for fostering societal transformation towards a more sustainable future. Within this context, competence frameworks serve as essential guidelines for integrating sustainability into education. This research investigates th

The Milky Way harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) at its dynamical center. Surrounding the SMBH is a dense nuclear star cluster (NSC) which is believed to include a binary population. Beyond $0.1\mathrm{pc}$ from the SMBH, Eccentric-Kozoai Lidov oscillations are suppressed by general relativity precession, and the dynamical evolution of binaries are completely dominated by encounters with oth

Bakgrund: Kabinpersonalen präglas av en mängd olika normer och regler, dessa utgörs av säkerhetskrav, hierarkier och professionella riktlinjer. Dessa strukturer styr kabinpersonalens arbete, vars huvudsakliga uppgift är att säkerställa passagerarnas säkerhet och komfort under flygningen. Denna yrkesgrupp står inför en unik utmaning med konstant exponering för passagerare och behovet av att hantera

To meet the future demands and growing challenges in operating heat-exchangers at temperatures greater than 600°C, it is crucial to understand the high-temperature oxidation performance of materials for their components. Namely, it is necessary to study oxidation kinetics and elemental composition of the oxide scale to understand how the materials behave and degrade in such extreme conditions. In

At a time when artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, this thesis explores the issue of copyright infringement of AI-generated artworks. This study aims to analyze the legal complexities brought about by the increasingly widespread application of artificial intelligence in the creation of original artworks, with a special focus on the protection of creators’ rights and intellectual propert
