Statistiken som grundar sig i en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av nyhetsartiklar tyder på att den vanligaste representationen av gängkriminella i både Aftonbladet och Expressen är unga män. Uppsatsen undersöker även om statistiken som presenteras är överenskomligt med andra artiklar från de nämnda n

HR-arbete är ett omfattande och mångsidigt område som varierar mellan olika organisationer. Det existerar flera myter och fördomar om arbete i offentlig sektor och denna studie fokuserar på att utmana dessa. Uppsatsen syftar till att beskriva HR-chefers upplevelser av sitt arbete samt det generella HR-arbetet inom olika organisationer och göra en jämförelse mellan den privata och offentliga sektor

Utmaningar kring samarbete och effektivt utnyttjande av den tvärprofessionella kompetensen har observerats i svenska elevhälsoteam. En kommun har adresserat dessa svårigheter genom att implementera ett gemensamt ramverk, Systematiskt Tillsammans för Lärande (STfL). Syftet med föreliggande studie var att utforska hur ett sådant gemensamt ramverk upplevs av elevhälsoteamens olika professioner vad gäCollaboration and efficient use of multidisciplinary competence has been observed to be difficult in student health teams (SHT) in Sweden. One municipality has addressed these issues by implementing a common framework, Systematically Together for Learning (STfL). The aim of this study was to explore how this framework was experienced by the student health service professionals in relation to imple

Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o

This report covers the design process of a master thesis project with the aim of developing concepts for diffusers. Diffusers are objects that have the ability of spreading the sound energy evenly in a room. The diffusers were to be suitable for use as interior objects in “ordinary rooms” (schools, hospital wards, and offices). The diffusers should, through their aesthetic expression, attract arch

Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is an important component in solving the problem of autonomous navigation — allowing machines such as selfdriving cars and mobile robots to find their way in the world without human instruction. Though there is a steadily growing body of literature in the field of SLAM, far fewer works currently address using hardware acceleration to speed up this compu

This paper is a case study analysis of the region of Gotland, and it investigates how Gotland as a tourist dependant region can improve their resilience. I analyzed two different regional development plans “Vision Gotland 2025” and “Vårt Gotland 2040”, look at key differences between these and also look at employment data in Gotland from 2005-2018. This is done with the following research question

As the Arab-Israeli conflict heated up during May 2021, this content analysis applies framing theory on published articles from Jerusalem Post and Al Jazeera around the time of the ceasefire.

The accuracy of inflation forecasts is, and has been, important for economic agents such as governments, central banks, companies, and the general public. Historically it has mainly been conducted with traditional statistical models that limits the usage of bigger datasets. This thesis will examine the performance of the machine learning model called Random Forest by forecasting Swedish inflation

Elevators could be an important alternative means of egress when it comes to evacuation. This report is the result of a model developed to calculate the efficiency of elevator evacuation in different scenarios in deep underground facilities. The model is an Excel-tool designed to be applicable in different tailor-made scenarios for analysis and comparison. This report includes four different cases

Hydrogen use increase and so does the knowledge about its risks, but not necessarily about how to handle these risks. Limited literature is available about risk mitigation for hydrogen use, the objective of this thesis is to increase this knowledge. Risk reduction measures that could be relevant for hydrogen leakage were reviewed and their potential for further assessment was qualitatively consid

Denna studie ämnade att undersöka effekten av anisktsattraktivitet på rekryterares bedömning av arbetssökandes kompetens (hårda och mjuka färdigheter) samt anställningsbarhet. Det undersöktes också om betydelsen av attraktivitet skiljer sig mellan män och kvinnor i dessa sammanhang. För undersökningen konstruerades en enkät som inleddes med ett fiktivt personligt brev och en ansiktsbild på den “söThis study aimed to examine the effect of facial attractiveness on recruiters’ assessment of applicants' competence (i.e., hard and soft skills) and employability. It also examined if the importance of attractiveness differs between men and women in these contexts. A survey was constructed that began with a fictitious cover letter and a face photo of the “applicant”. While the letter was the s

Background Introducing services for manufacturing companies can lead to improving customer satisfaction and new revenue streams as well as creating a more sustainable business. However, the current understanding of how this can be done in practice is limited. Purpose This master’s thesis investigates how a manufacturing company can generate sustainable value through the introduction of new repair

De riskreducerande åtgärder som ska införas när byggnader placeras nära farliga riskkällor verkar ibland kunna förändras eller till och med försvinna innan byggprojektet är färdigt. Detta kan bero på svårigheter med kommunikation, men det finns även andra orsaker. I ett samhälle kan det finnas industrier som sysslar med giftiga kemikalier eller godståg som fraktar farliga ämnen. Detta kan medfBuildings are sometimes raised in the vicinity of risk objects such as hazardous industries and routes used for transportation of hazardous goods. To compensate for the increased risk level risk reducing measures can be implemented. However, the planning and construction process is long and complex, and for these measures to be implemented they must somehow be conveyed through this process. The pu

There was a need for a questionnaire measuring acute stress, early responses to traumatic experiences, in adults in Swedish. The first version of the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ) is thoroughly validated and has been updated to follow the diagnostic criteria in the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition. We translated the Stanford Acute Stress Re
