Our study aims to get a greater understanding of why students choose a social work education and why the education is so popular despite the social service’s negative reputation. We also aim to get an understanding of the student's intended career paths. We used Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic approach to the study so that we could use our own interpretations of why students made their ch
Denna uppsats syftar till att studera utvecklingskurvan hos frontend-utvecklare. Studien undersöker hur en frontend-utvecklare anskaffar nya färdigheter och förmågor samt vilka utmaningar de ibland står inför. Studien genomförs med en kvalitativ metod bestående av sex intervjuer med frontend-utvecklare på olika yrkesnivåer. Datan från intervjuerna, tillsammans med litteraturinsamling, delas upp i
Domestic violence is a widespread social problem. Although studies show that support from social services can be a key support to able to leave a violent relationship, few seek this help. Reports of social workers who fail to help females subjected to violence show that something has to change. This study has aimed to examine how the support from women's shelters is designed for women who seek
I uppsatsen presenteras en undersökning av de svenska grundlagsbestämmelserna avseende handlingsoffentlighet och frivilligt utgivningsbevis i förhållande till Europeiska unionens (EU) dataskyddsförordning (2016/679). Inom ramen för svensk rätt har var och en rätten att ta del av en allmän handling med tillhörande personuppgifter.

Within the framework of Swedish law, everyone has the right to access a public document with associated personal data. Furthermore, websites can be granted a voluntary publication
Circular Economy (CE) is seen as a potential solution to sustainability challenges (eg. global warming), but companies lack guidance in adopting these strategies. The study addresses the need for a unified methodology to assess and prioritize CE strategies at the organizational level. The research integrates social dimensions (social CE indicators and Social Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (S
Bakgrund: En stor del av Sveriges räddningstjänst består av Räddningstjänstpersonal i Beredskap (RiB). Under beredskapen ska personalen vara tillgänglig dygnet runt för att rycka ut på eventuella larm, detta ofta parallellt med ett ordinarie arbete. Aktivitetsbalans är en viktig faktor för att främja hälsa och välbefinnande. Hur RiB upplever sin aktivitetsbalans under beredskapen finns i dagslägetBackground: A large part of Sweden's fire brigade consists of on-call firefighters, who must be available around the clock to respond to any alarms, often in parallel with their regular work. Occupational balance is an important factor in promoting health and well-being. There is currently no knowledge about how on-call firefighters experience their occupational balance. Aim: This study aims t
Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans syftar till individers upplevelser av variation av aktiviteter i vardagen. Avsaknad av variation på aktiviteter kan leda till minskade upplevelser av aktivitetsbalans. Betalt arbete kan leda till att struktur, rutin och identitet formas i vardagen, samt kan motsatt leda till stressrelaterad psykisk ohälsa utifrån negativa faktorer på arbetsplatsen. Syfte: Studiens syfte
This thesis investigates the decision-making process that led to the rapid adoption of small-scale hydropower projects, and its social implications, in Kosovo between 2013 and 2021. However, the fairness of the decision-making process for hydropower projects has been heavily criticized by local communities and NGOs. This research links procedural justice concerns voiced by a small community in Sou
Skolan har en universell brottsförebyggande funktion genom förmedlandet av kunskap och respekt för demokratiska värderingar, som formar eleverna till ansvarskännande medborgare. Elever som går i skolan är enligt forskning mindre benägna att begå brott. Därför har skolan tillsammans med polis och socialtjänst i uppdrag att få elever att delta i utbildning och förhindra dem från att utveckla krimine
In this thesis, I discuss the difficulties Ukrainian refugees face in accessing and integrating into the Swedish labor market, the role of civil society organizations (CSOs) in Sweden with regard to the labor market integration of Ukrainian refugees, and the policy hindrance and CSOs’ limitation in achieving their goal for Ukrainian refugees. This thesis gathers qualitative data using semi-structu
The aim of this study was to ascertain how school counselors experience the transition from child and youth psychiatry to adult psychiatry that their students go through when they turn 18 years old. The study also aimed to discover the meaning behind the transition in relation to the school counselors’ work situation. We chose to limit our sample of respondents to school counselors at the upper se
Tourism is considered one of the main driving forces of economic growth. At the same time, micro and small businesses play a vital role in the development of the tourism sector as a supply side. Also, the development of entrepreneurial activity directly depends on internal and external financial resources. So, this qualitative case study investigates the access to external finance, concessional lo
As efforts to decarbonise energy systems have failed, attention turns to addressing disproportionate energy consumption through behavioural adjustments. Given the influence of religion on worldviews and behaviour, this thesis inductively and intimately examines the energy-related practises of the UK headquarters of the Buddhist organisation Soka Gakkai International. In its ethnographic approach,
The standard interpretation of aggregate excess sensitivity is that it represents the economy share of non-Ricardian households. However, household level evidence suggests that excess sensitivity can also be explained by the comovement of consumption and income over the lifetime, which occurs due to retirement and changes in household size. If aggregate estimates of excess sensitivity can in part
Studien undersökte effektiviteten hos reklam-meddelanden för second-hand företag, enligt Cialdini’s övertalningsprinciper. I förstudien analyserades reklam från de fyra största svenska second-hand företagen, som visade att sociala bevis och reciprocitet var de mest frekvent använda principerna. I studien skattade 82 deltagare (79% kvinnor) fyra reklammeddelanden från ett fiktivt second-hand företaThe study investigated the effectiveness of advertising messages for second-hand companies, according to Cialdini's principles of persuasion. In the pre-study advertisements from the four largest Swedish second-hand companies were analyzed, showing that social proof and reciprocity were the most frequently used principles. In the study, 82 participants (79% women) rated four advertising messag

Fire load, the total thermal energy released by the combustion of a material, is an essential part of determining a building’s fire performance and the associated fire protection strategies. Elements in a structure are typically categorized into two types of fire loads: permanent and temporary. Permanent fire loads represent the combustible materials in the building envelope. With the advent of en
The present study discusses and evaluates a novel continuous-time approach to network centrality, a fundamental concept in network analysis. Static methods based on discrete snapshots or time slices for measuring node interaction in networks that change over time do not fully capture the dynamical nature of network evolution. To address this issue, a dynamical system model driven by the continuous
The demand for kidney transplantation is growing while the number of donors continues to be insufficient, prolonging the process. Today’s method has a short time frame for carrying out the transplant, where the kidney must be taken out within 30-60 minutes after death. Due to lack of time and logistics, this often creates a major problem and inhibits transplantation. UGLK Science has developed a s
