Our goal with this thesis was to develop an understanding of how social workers on financial assistance relate to the consideration of the child's best interests based on the Convention on the Rights of the Child in the handling of cases involving children. We considered this to be relevant since the Convention on the Rights of the Child was incorporated into Swedish law 1 January 2020. This c

Theoretical background: The theoretical background provides previous research on leadership &
The fashion industry accounts for 10% of global carbon emissions and has significant sustainability problems. To reduce those, a shift towards a Circular Economy is promoted as a holistic approach to system change. In order to show how the discourse, as opposed to this claim, reproduces the dominant structures of the fashion industry, a Critical Discourse Analysis is applied. Taking a political ec
In a country with a large historical and current share of emissions, recent climate inaction and political upheaval have disallowed substantial social-environmental reforms from being endorsed. This thesis critically examines the current cycle of contention in the United States by classifying the Sunrise Movement and the Democratic Socialists of America as social movement organizations through the
Villa San Michele and Villa Lysis, formerly homes to Swedish doctor Axel Munthe and baron Jacques d’Adelswärd Fersen, now stand as two museums in Capri, Italy. The essay investigates their current state through a phenomenological tour, complying with Tonino Grifferos’s theory of a neo-phenomenological and philosophic “pathic aesthetic”. This theory argues for the presence of the beholder in their
Syfte: Studien undersöker om det på ett reliabelt sätt går att använda en modifierad version av Pati-ent Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) för att skatta anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån inspelade psykoterapisessioner från fjärde sessionen under en korttidsterapi. Metod: Två oberoende observatörer har skattat anknytningsmönster från patient till terapeut utifrån 30Objective: This thesis investigates if it is possible to use a modified version of Patient Attachment to Therapist Rating Scale (PAT-RS) estimating attachment style between patient and therapist dur- ing an early stage of short term psychotherapy in a reliable way using recorded psychotherapy ses- sions. Method: Recorded material from 30 psychotherapy sessions have been separately estimated by two
This study seeks to understand why and how Swedish MNE:s in the banking and telecommunication sectors decide to de-internationalize from foreign markets. Specifically, this question is addressed by examination of the driving motives behind the decisions, and the relevance of escalation theory to the decision making process. Through a qualitative and exploratory research design, this study examines
Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera ett nytt mått på psykologisk flexibilitet respektive inflexibilitet samt utforska hur psykologisk flexibilitet, mätt med detta nya mått, förhåller sig till psykiatriska symtom, upplevd livskvalitet samt ett tidigare etablerat mått på psykologisk flexibilitet. Studien syftade även till att undersöka huruvida varians i upplevd livskvalitet kan sägas medierasThe aim of this study was to evaluate a new measure of psychological flexibility and inflexibility and to investigate how psychological flexibility, measured with this new instrument, relates to psychiatric symptoms, quality of life, and to a commonly used measure of psychological inflexibility. A second aim was to investigate whether variation in perceived quality of life is mediated statisticall
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the High-Harmonic Generation (HHG) process by simulating electron trajectories, and their resulting Extreme Ultra Violet (XUV) output. The HHG process is one in which a focused beam of infrared (IR) light can rival (in terms of intensity) the potentials of atoms, which makes tunnelling likely -- this sets off a chain of events resulting in an XUV pulse.
Despite being increasingly identified as main drivers of the global environmental emergency and existing inequalities, growth-driven economies have managed to perpetuate. Discursive practices are central to this perpetuation, strengthening the growth paradigm and its evolution towards ‘greener’ approaches, such as ‘green growth’. This work uses content analysis on presidential speeches to assess h
Barn och ungdomar med autismspektrumstörning (ASD) löper större risk att uppleva ångestsymtom av olika slag. Tidigare studier har visat att effekten av kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) kan minska ångest hos patienter med ASD. I denna litteraturöversikt har vi granskat den vetenskapliga och metodologiska kvaliteten i sju randomiserade kontrollerade studier (RKS), samt vilka KBT interventioner som kan Children and adolescents with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are at greater risk of experiencing anxiety symptoms of various kinds. Previous studies have shown the effect of Cognitive behavior therapy to help reduce anxiety in patients with ASD. In this literature review, we examine the scientific and methodological quality of seven randomized controlled trials (RCT), as well as which CBT interven
Since 1950s fossil fuels are the main source of anthropogenic emissions (Friedlingstein et al., 2019) and developing economies with their increasing demand of energy are contributing to global fossil fuel consumption increasingly. Turkey, similarly, has been experiencing an increase of energy demand and have been heavily relied on fossil fuels in consumption patterns. This study employs Fairclough
The Colombian government aims to minimize the impacts of human activities in páramos. This requires finding balance between the conservation of the natural resources and maintaining the livelihoods of people living in these areas. Biodiversity loss in páramos compromises their ecological functionality and puts at risk the provisioning of drinking water to millions of Colombians. In this thesis I s
Alopecia areata (AA) anses vara en autoimmun hudsjukdom och är en av de vanligaste formerna som orsakar håravfall. AA har en oklar och diffus etiologi. Kliniskt och vetenskapligt vet man att AA ofta genererar psykologisk och socialt lidande. Inom dermatologin stöter man ofta på flera av dessa psykologiska och sociala problemställningar som sjukdomen anses generera. Detta fenomen förminskas eller f
Overfishing is one of the most serious problems threatening the health of the seas and local coastal communities. Marine Protected Areas with No Fishing Zones are valuable biodiversity conservation tools to ensure the sustainable use of diminishing fish stocks. Nevertheless, to be successful for long-term conservation these areas have to be monitored and rules must be enforced. Using semi-structur
Bakgrund: Sexuell hälsa är en mänsklig rättighet och historiskt sett har kvinnans sexualitet varit tabu och ett känsligt ämne att utforska. Klimakteriet är en naturlig fas i alla kvinnors liv som börjar en tid innan kvinnans sista menstruation, så kallad menopaus och fortgår livet ut. Enligt barnmorskans kompetensbeskrivning ska barnmorskor ha kompetens att ge information till kvinnor om sexuell h
The unbalanced supply and demand will raise the distribution and transportation problems. Lateral transhipment (called stock redistribution) between two Customer Centres (CC) has been implementing to reduce unhealthy inventories. The two significant issues are the inefficient process and unnecessary cost of reactive lateral transhipment. The searching and communication processes can take longer th
