In Sweden, household preparedness is central to crisis management, but local, comprehensive data on it is largely lacking. Additionally, in academia, there is uncertainty around the correlations between actual (AHP) and perceived household preparedness (PHP). This study aims to address both these issues through the exploration of a more comprehensive framework to assess household preparedness. The

Tourism is a vital sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 10 percent of all employment and bringing benefits to numerous individuals and regions. Understanding how the sector can be managed in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner in tourist destinations around the globe is therefore essential. It is known, however, that different destinations have differ

In this bachelor thesis, an explorative theoretical analysis is presented on a model system characterized by various and competing magnetic interactions. The system comprises two localized magnetic moments (spins), and a single itinerant electron that hops between two orbitals located at the spins’ positions. The spins, treated as either fully quantum, hybrid quantum-classical, or fully classical,

Det övergripande syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka läspraktiken Shared Readings möjligheter och begränsningar som läsfrämjande arbetssätt inom svensk gymnasieskola. Shared Reading är en läspraktik som fokuserar på det sociala och personliga i läsningen.

The pressure to achieve net-zero emissions has pushed for new technologies including carbon capture and storage (CCS) based on the combustion of biomass (BECCS). While bioenergy is a relatively mature industry in Sweden, the addition of CCS may increase the demand for local biomass. Furthermore, previous studies on the potential of BECCS in Sweden have not considered the impacts of climate change

I begreppet minne ryms flera kognitiva processer. En viktig minnesförmåga är mönsterseparation, som innebär att skilja nya visuella intryck från redan kända. Det datoriserade bildminnestestet MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) har tagits fram för att testa denna förmåga. MST administrerades över internet, och 38 deltagare testades vid flera sessioner för att jämföra förmågan vid olika tidpunkter. DessThe concept of memory consists of several cognitive processes. An important memory ability is pattern separation, which means distinguishing new visual impressions from already known ones. The computerised picture memory test MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) has been developed to test this ability. The MST was administered online, and 38 participants were tested at multiple sessions to compare abili

Efter en lagändring som trädde i kraft 1 januari 2022 infördes krav på klimatdeklarationer vid uppförande av nya byggnader. Syftet med ändringen är att samla in data och statistik för att i framtiden kunna införa gränsvärden på klimatpåverkan. Vissa bärande konstruktionsdelar i grundläggningen, som pålar, inkluderas dock inte i dagens klimatdeklarationer. Grundkonstruktionernas dimensioner berorFollowing a legislative amendment that came into effect on January 1, 2022, there is now a requirement for climate declarations for new buildings. The purpose of this amendment is to gather data and statistics to potentially establish limits on climate impact in the future. There are certain limitations regarding which structural components of the foundation are included in the climate declaration

Det direkta och omedelbara koppling testet, även det indirekta koppling testet i moms av EU ingår inte i momsdirektivet. Medlemsstaterna använder sig av avdragsrätten på olika sätt, vilket förvärrar problemet. Av denna anledning görs i denna avhandling sex punkter för att identifiera det direkta testets skyldigheter. Dessutom smälter de tre principerna om rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk verklighet och skThe direct and immediate link test, which is a fundamental requirement for the right of deduction to exist, is not mentioned at all in the EU VAT Directive. Additionally, Member State transposition is not a harmonised process. This leads to divergences in how different EU Member States grant the right of deduction. As a solution to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union allows Member Sta

South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. The first group believes that accent 2 is more specified and accent 1 is default shaped by intonation, whereas the second group deems that accent 1 is lexically specified and accent 2 is th

Counting opening cycles on an automatic sliding door is of great interest for a company manufacturing doors, such as ASSA Abloy. These metrics could be used for consumer statistics or for door diagnostics. Counting opening cycles is seemingly trivial when there is access to the door’s internal diagnostics or having adequate sensors. Problems start to arise when these are not present, which is the

Kriget i Ukraina har drivit upp flyktingantalet till ett högre antal än någonsin tidigare. Syftet med denna studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys och den postkoloniala teorin analysera hur ukrainska flyktingar framställs i svensk media idag.

Denna studie har utförts med syfte att undersöka sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet, samt könsskillnader inom dem. Relationen mellan dessa variabler är hittills outforskad, men tidigare forskning föreslår att det rimligen finns ett positivt samband mellan dem. Denna studie kan därmed bidra till viktiga kompletterande perspektiv för att uppnå en bredare förståelse av individuella egenskapeThis study was aimed to examine the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, together with gender differences within them. While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broad
