As the media landscape undergoes a transformative phase, driven by rapid technological advancements and increased commercial imperatives, this study aims to unravel the complexities of how these forces shape journalistic practices. More specifically it seeks to provide a nuanced understanding o
This study aims to investigate how mental illness was portrayed and stigmatised in media in 1934, 1995, and 2020. To research this we did a qualitative thematic analysis where we examined newspaper articles from the chosen years. We sourced our articles from Kungliga Bibliotekets online archive and Mediaretriever. We selected articles either about mental illness or the prevailing view on mental il
Conversations with children have always been relevant in social work. Conversation cards are decks of cards that can represent many different things, and they are a help to the child and social worker in their communication. The cards can, for example, represent images of bears that express different emotions, but there are also card decks that represent people, situations, or text that the social
The Swedish national library has collected nearly all Swedish printed materials for more than three centuries. Regarding digital material, the digital legal deposit act was enacted about nine years ago. According to the law, a selection of digital publications must be sent to the national library for preservation. The Swedish digital legal deposit act has been heavily criticized, mostly because it
The Schrems II judgement delivered on 16 July of 2020 was the second time that an EU court invalidated an adequacy decision authorizing EU-US data transfer. Doubts gather around the suitability of adequacy decision being an instrument to govern cross-border data transfer. This thesis therefore wishes to explore the deficiencies of such an instrument posed by the current regime as established in th
This thesis is informed by a collection of discussions that highlight participant perspectives on Vancouver’s food justice and food sovereignty movement, mainstream food discourse in the city, and how the state’s institutional role is involved in prospects for the future. Vancouver, Canada constitutes an appropriate case as a dense, urban, and intensely commodified space with conspicuous pockets o
Introduction: Renography is a standard diagnostic examination that evaluates renal function, renal pelvic dilatation and urinary obstruction. Renography is performed by injecting a radiopharmaceutical (predominately 99mTc-MAG3) and using gamma camera to image the biodistribution in a dynamic sequence. Evaluating renography images encompasses many difficulties regarding background correction for ac
This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue
Syftet med studien var att närma oss hur psykodynamiskt inriktade terapeuter som arbetar med barn med traumatiska erfarenheter, upplever sin kliniska verklighet och att få en inblick i på vilket sätt psykodynamisk barnterapi kan göra skillnad för dessa barn. Studien är uppbyggd på en kvalitativ grund och utgår från tolkande fenomenologisk anlays, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis). DaThe aim of the study was to approach how psychodynamically oriented therapists who work with children with traumatic experiences, experience their clinical reality and to gain an insight into how psychodynamic child therapy can make a difference for these children. The study is based on a qualitative basis and is based on interpretive phenomenological analysis, IPA, (Interpretative Phenomenologica
This project has been an exploration into how sustainability is understood and its challenges framed within design. But the reader undertaking the task of going through this document will find more about carrying in urban transportation which has been the area of application. Probing the underlying assumptions upon which our solutions toward a sustainable future rest, the research identifies
Malignt melanom är en aggressiv form av hudcancer. Genmutationer kan påskynda sjukdomsförloppet och spridningen av tumörer, men specialanpassad behandling finns att tillgå. Idag används DNA-analys för att upptäcka genmutationer, vilket är kostsamt och tidskrävande. Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka om djupinlärning (deep learning) kan användas för att hitta genmutationer från vävnadsbMalignant melanoma is an aggressive type of skin cancer. Gene mutations can make the disease progress faster, but specialised treatment exists. Today, gene mutations are detected with DNA-analysis which is costly and time-consuming. The aim of our thesis is to investigate whether deep learning can be used to differentiate whole-slide images of tumours with different gene mutations. This was done i
Socialtjänsten är en väsentlig del av det svenska välfärdssystemet som kräver tillit från sina medborgare för att kunna fungera. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att ta reda på om studenter har hög eller låg tillit till socialtjänsten samt om tilliten påverkas av studentens uppväxtland. Rothsteins teori om socialt kapital användes för att förklara betydelsen av institutionell tillit och för att beThe Swedish Social Services are an essential part of the welfare system which requires trust from its citizens to function. The purpose of this thesis was to find out if students have a high or low trust in Swedish Social Services and if that trust is affected by the country the student grew up in. Rothstein's theory on social capital was used to explain the importance of institutional trust a
Practical Implications: On an academic level, further research on the role of virtue signalling for sustainable consumption behaviour should be conducted. Further, brand and product managers can benefit from targeting consumers’ perceived benefit from signalling their virtue through visible sustainable consumption. This could for instance be achieved by indirectly integrating the benefit into thei
Work integration social enterprises (WISE) work to help the disadvantaged to enter the labour market and find a job, thereby working to correct a market failure. Research has identified hybridity, the simultaneous work towards two, sometimes contradicting, missions as a core concept of social enterprises. This hybridity can lead to tensions though, which can result in a deviation from the social m
Smittspårning av infektionssjukdomar har sedan länge varit en samhällsviktig funktion, som under Covid-19-pandemin har behövt utökas i kapacitet och effektivitet nationellt och globalt. Användandet av system manuell smittspårning har möjlighet att stötta och förbättra smittspårningen, särskilt om de används rätt av smittspåraren. För att användas rätt krävs enligt forskning att användaren har hög
Inflation targets are set by central banks worldwide to achieve stable and sustainable growth and the possibility of institutional quality affecting the inflationary effect on growth makes it essential to study the inflation-institution-growth relationship. This paper considers whether or not the relationship between inflation and growth is nonlinear in the shape of convexity and if it differs for
As the COVID-19 pandemic forces people to work and study from home, a change that also might last after the pandemic, the usability and functionality available in a Learning Management Systems(LMS) become crucial for everyday life. The goal of this master thesis was to design and implement an integration between Grade’s platform and Microsoft Teams in a way that allows Grade and their customers to
Members have traditionally played a central role in civil society organisations (CSOs) since they typically are the ones who decide upon the course of the organisation and carry out organisational activities. However, with organisations becoming more professionalised, concerns have been raised about the future role of members. Previous research point to different consequences on membership due to
The purpose of this paper is to focus on sustainable investments and to observe if the performance can be improved by combining the aspect of value and growth investments. The sample consists of groups of companies which are representing value or growth with either high or low ESG risk level. Different portfolios are constructed based on these groups between a time-period of 2 November 2016 and 26
