Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. They contribute to mitigation and adaptation policy measures and support private forest owners in deciding ideal practices to implement. The complex nature

The purpose of this study was to explore how hospital social workers have experienced that the recently established professional certification has affected their working situation and their status within health care.

Kvantelektrodynamik beskriver den elektromagnetiska kraften mellan elektroner och protoner, och är en av fysikens mest lyckade teorier. Till skillnad från elektroner, så är protoner inte fundamentala partiklar, utan de är uppbyggda av mindre partiklar som kallas för kvarkar. Kvarkarna inuti protonen binds inte ihop av den elektromagnetiska kraften, utan istället genom en annan kraft som kallas föWe use lattice QCD data to perform a fit of the pion and kaon mass and decay constant to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in three-flavor Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT). To improve our fits, we make use of finite volume corrections at both one- and two-loop order. This turns out to provide a small but noticeable improvement of our fits. Our fits see a significant improvement with the inclus

Denna uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka interaktionen mellan professionella och föräldrar till barn med neuropsykiatrisk funktionsnedsättning.

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are one of the most popular codes used in nowadays’ communication due to their high coding efficiency at low decoding complexity. With these characteristics, LDPC codes are suitable for high-speed information transmission systems. The widely used decoding algorithm for LDPC codes is Belief Propagation (BP) decoding with which the performance of LDPC codes can

Food Waste is a global issue concerning the environment, resources, social justice and economy. Despite being so pressing, around one-third of food produced is discarded worldwide. Meanwhile, food waste is incredibly complicated, requiring collaborations of all stakeholders and various innovations. Too Good To Go (TGTG) utilizes technology to bridge consumers and food business and save food waste

Abstrakt. Bakgrund: Genom Platt reformen och barnkonventionen samt NOBABs föreskrifter har nu barnet rätt till att ha sin förälder hos sig på sjukhuset dygnet runt, från att det tidigare inte var tillåtet för en förälder att vara hos sitt barn. Genom att involvera hela familjen utifrån ett familjecentrerat perspektiv stärks barnets trygghet och välbefinnande. Barn i olika åldrar har olika behov a

The aim of this study was to investigate how an adaptation from an integral production system to a modular production system would affect the risk management. A literature study of different production systems has been made, to compare the integral to the modular, and to gain knowledge on how an adaption from an integral production to modular could be made. This was done in cooperation with Tetra

Bristen på personal inom människorelaterade yrken som till exempel vård och omsorg är idag ett problem som behöver lösas. En möjlig lösning skulle kunna vara att höja individers communal yrkesmål (vilja att arbeta med människor). Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om compassion meditation, en metod som syftar till att höja medkänsla/medlidande, kan höja gymnasieelevers communal yrkesmål. I Sweden is witnessing a shortage of labor within the social and healthcare sector. A viable option that could bring Sweden one step closer to a solution is to raise the populations' communal goals. Our study aims to explore if compassion meditation, a method that aims to cultivate compassion can raise communal goals amongst Swedish high school students. Within this study, 250 students attending

Multinationella företag har, på grund av den ökade globaliseringen, i allt större utsträckning börjat etablera komplexa leverantörskedjor vilka inte sällan sträcker sig över olika världsdelar. Produktionen förläggs framförallt i utvecklingsländer där efterlevnaden av arbetsrättsliga standarder många gånger är bristfällig. Allt eftersom kritik riktats mot multinationella företag har en insikt om etMultinational companies have - due to the increased globalisation - started to establish complex global supply chains to a greater extent, ones who often reaches to different parts of the world. In particular, the production gets placed in third world countries where the observance of labour laws many times are inadequate. As critical voices have spoken up against these multinational companies, th

This is a thesis on the Gê language of Xokleng and its means of subordination. This work is based on previous publication on the Xokleng language (Urban 1985, Gakran 2005, Gakran 2015). In this highly isolation language with almost no inflection, a large set of grammatical and lexical monosyllabic particles are used to express TAM(E). The most obvious grammatical particle is the sentence final mar

Bakgrund: Olika faktorer utgör en persons förmåga till att utföra aktiviteter, dvs. en persons aktivitetsförmåga. Hästunderstödda insatser (HUI) är en typ av aktivitet och behandlingsform. För bästa effekt bör den utföras av en utbildad ridterapeut. Tidigare forskning har visat att HUI haft positiv inverkan vid rehabilitering för personer med psykiska och fysiska funktionsvariationer. Det finns däBackground: Various factors constitute a person's ability to perform activities, i.e., a person’s occupational performance. Equine assisted therapy (EAT) is a form of activity and can be used as a treatment. For best effect, it should be performed by an educated equestrian therapist. Previous research has shown that EAT have had good effects on different patient groups with physical and psycho

More than just a horse : About the essence of equine assisted interventions Equine assisted interventions are something of a “black box”; whilst we understand the field, and many factors within it as a whole, there is little research on the specific factors and their influence of the treatment outcome of these interventions. The aim of this study was to explore the essence of equine assisted int

Antalet aktiesparare ökar varje år. Psykologin på finansmarknaden är komplicerad och beskrivs idag som en orsak till marknadens irrationella avvikelser. Det är därför viktigt att öka förståelsen för psykologins magnitud och dess koppling till variationen bland privata aktiesparares framgång. Den aktuella studien syftade till att undersöka relevanta psykologiska aspekter inom finansiellt risktagandThe number of stock savers increases every year. Psychology in the financial market is complicated and is nowadays described as a cause of the market's irrational deviations. It is therefore important to increase the understanding of the magnitude of psychology and its connection to the variation among private equity savers.

With a specific focus on the ethnographic museum, especially the Danish National museum’s ethnographic collection, I will try to illustrate the constant discussions on the topic of how one in the best way can represent or create exhibitions in the present day. Today people have an image of museum curat

Hur bra förser de urbana träden i Malmö pollinerare med mat? Antalet pollinerande insekter minskar. En av de främsta anledningarna till detta är förlust av blomresurser till följd av ett ändrat användande av landskap. I jämförelse med allt mer homogena jordbrukslandskap kan städer potentiellt bidra med mer födoresurser för vilda bin och andra pollinerare. Träd, som utgör en stor komponent av urbPollinating insects are declining due to several threats, one being a loss of flower resources because of a change of land use. With rural agricultural areas becoming more homogenous, urban areas might provide refuge for pollinating insects. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the trees in the city of Malmö, Sweden, contribute with food resources, i.e. nectar and pollen, both spatial
