The purpose of this study was to investigate how social caseworkers perceive job burnout (or work exhaustion). Three questions were addressed in this study: - How do social caseworkers’ perceptions of work exhaustion relate to all the efforts they invest in helping clients and the perceived response/lack of response these investments generate? - How do social caseworkers perceive work exhaustion
The increasing complexity of software applications and architectures in Internet services challenge the reasoning of operators tasked with diagnosing and resolving outages and degradations as they arise. Although a growing body of literature focuses on how failures can be prevented through more robust and fault-tolerant design of these systems, a dearth of research explores the cognitive challenge
Syria is going through a full-fledged conflict with unfathomable educational crisis. With the tremendous challenges in the educational sector in conflict situations, opportunities arise simultaneously for positive educational change. The purpose of this study was twofold: to contribute to informed changes in the educational system for Syrians through better understanding of education in the past,
This thesis investigates the perceptions of people within the education sector in Lund Municipality regarding sustainability implications of the use of information and communications technology (ICT) in schools. It demonstrates how local perceptions are largely affected by powerful global neoliberal forces. The study is based on a critical discourse analysis of policy documents and interviews with
The main aim of this thesis is to clarify the requirements for environmental impact assessments for onshore wind projects, and to investigate if these requirements differ between county administrative boards in Sweden. As a part of this challenges that the wind power companies and county administrative boards has too face are investigated, such as processing time and frequent complementaries. The
Blekinge Offshore AB is a company with intentions of building an offshore wind farm in the bay of Hanö, in southern Sweden. If the full-scale park is constructed a total of 7-8 TWh of electricity will be produced annually. From the land connection in Stärnö, municipality of Karlshamn, current power lines stretch 21 kilometers up to a junction in Hemsjö, municipality of Olofström. If the full-scale
The aim of this study was to collect new knowledge about the importance of signal crayfish predation on zebra mussels in Lake Erken. Possibly with implications on biological control of the invasive species in Swedish lakes. I performed a field experiment with enclosures (including signal crayfish) and exclosures (without signal crayfish) during 11 summer weeks in Lake Erken. My results showed that

Detta examensarbete har som syfte att undersöka möjligheterna för införandet av en kvotplikt på den svenska jetbränslemarknaden, något som inte tidigare gjorts i en sammanfattande studie. Målet är att utvärdera detta styrmedel från flera olika perspektiv. Fokus läggs på det legala, ekonomin I förnybara bränslen, utformingen av ett kvotsystem och effekten ett sådant system kan ha på den svenska fly
Previous studies have found that launch prices reflect the therapeutic gains of pharmaceuticals (for instance: Ekelund and Persson, 2003, on Sweden and Lu and Comanor, 1998, on the US). Furthermore, Howard et al (2015) found that purely pharmaceutical costs to “Medicare” at launch for new anticancer drugs increased annually, from 1995-2013, after controlling for health benefits and inflation. This
While machines are getting better at simulating human behavior it has become more common with the use of avatars and conversational text in mobile applications. These are used in order to induce a reflectively positive experience for the user, possibly making the user choose that application in favor of another. The balance between developing a too playful application and an uninteresting one is h
In this study I will assess sources and effects of short-term environmental changes on the sedimentary organic matter in Gullmar Fjord. To achieve this, a high resolution sediment core (sedimentation rate 0.7 cm yr -1) was retrieved from the deepest part in the fjord and analyzed with multiple geochemical methods, targeting bulk organic matter and biomarker composition. The distribution of n-alkan
