The study aimed to examine whether children’s school absenteeism affects parents in terms of their well-being, communication, and everyday life. The sample was collected using convenience sampling, and the studied population consisted of parents in Sweden with children under the age of 18 attending elementary or upper secondary school. The study was conducted through a quantitative method, and the
The old duality that eventually came to produce the mind/body-problem indicates the problem of transcendental subjectivity. The enduring significance of this problem shows itself in a provocation of any paradigm that has become too objectivistic, too naturalistic – even too idealistic in a certain sense – and too forgetful of its own departure from a perspective always presumed. Analytic philosoph
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become more important for companies in recent years, both as a marketing tool and a way to demonstrate as well as to maintain the organization's social, economical and environmental sustainability. While many organizations talk about sustainability, it is unclear how well this information reaches their frontline employees working in the stores. This th
Att förstå vad som får individer att dela personlig information i tidiga möten är centralt inom forskning kring interpersonell kommunikation och relationsutveckling. Denna studie undersökte hur olika typer av respons påverkar individers benägenhet att fortsätta självutlämna i samtal mellan personer som inte känner varandra. Med utgångspunkt i den interpersonella intimitetsmodellen (Reis & ShavUnderstanding what encourages individuals to share personal information in early interactions is central to research on interpersonal communication and relationship development. The present study examined how different response types influence individuals’ willingness to continue self-disclosing during conversations with unfamiliar others. Drawing on the Interpersonal Process Model of Intimacy (Re
Projektet undersöker hur ett samtida kulturhus kan utformas som en öppen och inkluderande plats för både kunskap och praktiskt skapande. Genom att kombinera bibliotek med verkstäder och ateljéer utforskas hur arkitektur kan möjliggöra möten mellan människor med olika bakgrund, intressen och behov, samtidigt som hantverkets och kreativitetens roll i staden stärks. Med utgångspunkt i Landskronas ur
This study aims to describe and analyse similarities and differences in substance-dependent individuals' experiences of encounters with various institutions within medical care, social services, and the legal system. The method for this study was qualitative, and we conducted semi-structured life world interviews with five people who had previous experiences with substance-dependent individual
This qualitative study explores the professional experiences of social workers in psychiatric care, focusing on the emotional challenges of working with individuals in difficult life situations. The aim was to examine how their emotional expressions, strategies for recovery, and organizational factors contribute to a supportive work environment. Using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interv
The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) is one of the most important algorithms commonly used in baseband processing. While traditional hardware implemen- tations like the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are highly optimized, they heav- ily suffer from the von Neumann bottleneck. To overcome this, performing the computations directly in memory using memristive crossbar arrays is a promising solution. Th
This study has aimed to explore how domestic violence service practitioners assess cases of predominantly non-physical violence against women in intimate partner relationships. The study examined practitioners in South England, United Kingdom, and New South Wales, Australia, adopting a generic purposive sampling. A qualitative approach was applied, using semi-structured interviews guided by a vign
The protection of vulnerable children constitutes a fundamental legal and moral mandate within the Swedish school system. Yet, the specific role of substitute teachers in this process remains an under-researched area. Using Lipsky’s theory of street-level bureaucracy and Svedberg’s role theory concerning professional structures and role conflicts, we analyzed attitudes of unqualified primary schoo
Social work is largely characterised by verbal approaches, while many clients who come into contact with social services may have limited opportunities to express their experiences in words. This highlights the need for alternative and complementary methods, particularly for individuals with traumatic experiences, mental health problems, neurodevelopmental disabilities, or long-term social vulnera
Stress is a growing problem in society and has been for many years. Different ages and different occupations experience different amounts of stress in their day-to-day life. This quantitative study focused on surveying how social work students perceived stress affects their lives on a day-to-day basis. Another focus was to determine whether there are connections between the students' perceived
This study, conducted in collaboration with a industrial steel foundry, investigates how variations in sand properties influence mold stability in the V‑process, a vacuum‑assisted molding technique used in steel casting. A mixed‑method approach was applied, combining analysis of historical data, laboratory permeability testing, personnel interviews, and data-driven permeability modeling to identif
Demographic changes in Sweden, including an increasing number of older people and a shrinking workforce, have created challenges for municipal home care services. To meet rising care needs alongside limited resources and staff shortages, digital home care has been introduced as a potential solution. This study examined how leaders in municipal home care perceived and experienced the implementation
Denna studie undersöker hur samer har framställts i svenska historieläroböcker för gymnasiet under perioden 1970–2025. Syftet är att analysera hur språkbruk, innehåll och perspektiv har förändrats över tid samt att förstå dessa förändringar i relation till skiftande samhälleliga värderingar och politisk kultur. Studien bygger på ett omfattande källmaterial bestående av 52 läroböcker och kombinerar
Strong narrowband interference can significantly degrade the sensitivity of wideband receivers by driving front-end circuitry into nonlinear operation. This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and measurement of a 2 – 4.4 GHz electrically tunable varactor-based bandstop filter that can follow and block such narrowband interference before it causes problems in the receiver. It was developed us
The field of paleodemography focuses on reconstructing demographic patterns from past populations. Typically, sex and age data are collected from the target population and used for these reconstructions. Normally, the data is collected using morphological means of skeletal analysis. Morphological methods of analysis, especially estimation of age in adult individuals, have been scrutinized. Develop
