Trots den överväldigande kritiken riktad mot svensk häktesverksamhet, kvarstår en brist på forskning inom området. För att utforska området syftar därmed denna studie till att undersöka muntliga framställningar om samspel, kultur och roller bland svenska kriminalvårdare med hjälp av följande forskningsfrågor: 1. Hur beskriver kriminalvårdare samspel under den dagliga verksamheten i relation till k

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsbalans och aktivitetsmönster är nära sammankopplade begrepp inom arbetsterapi. Trots att det finns mycket kunskap inom området saknas det kunskap om arbetande mäns aktivitetsmönster och deras upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans i vardagen. Syfte: Att beskriva aktivitetsmönster och upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos arbetande män med barn under åtta år i Sverige.

In this thesis we study the width of the Higgs boson in the process pp → t ̄t 4l at LO using MadGraph5_aMC@NLO to generate the events. The contributions including the Higgs signal, continuum background and interference were considered in order to calculate the expected number of events in a broad range of four-lepton invariant masses. Due to strongly enhanced off-shell contributions an upper bound

Even though the eclectic paradigm was founded approximately 50 years ago, it remains among the leading frameworks for firms determining whether to engage in foreign direct investment (FDI). The framework asserts that multinational companies (MNCs) only will engage in FDI if they have ownership, location, and internalization advantages. There is currently a research gap pertaining to if there are a

Ökande andel småskalig solproduktion introduceras i elnäten, detta medför möjligheter och utmaningar för nätägare. I detta arbete har möjligheten undersökts om småskalig solproduktion kan bidra till att upprätthålla spänningen i nätet vid trefasiga kortslutningar. I dagsläget är det många privatägare som installerar solceller. Denna utveckling har pågått länge, men de senaste åren har intresset sThe focus in this thesis has been active power from small scale solar production and what possible impacts an increased proportion of small scale production can have, in a larger context, during short circuit (SC) faults in the grid. The main research question prompting this work was whether active power from small scale solar pro- duction can help support voltages during SC faults, and meet LVRT-
