Människor i hjälpande roller upplever i stor utsträckning arbetsrelaterad stress, vilket för många resulterar i utbrändhet eller annan psykisk ohälsa. Utvecklandet av självmedkänsla kan enligt forskare ha en skyddande effekt mot bland annat utbrändhet. Korta compassionfokuserade interventioner har i tidigare studier visats bidra till just ökad självmedkänsla och minskad stress. Syftet med den aktuPeople in helping professions experience a great deal of work-related stress, which for many result in burnout or other mental health issues. Developing self-compassion can, according to researchers, have a protective effect against burnout, among other things. Previous studies on brief compassion focused interventions have shown an improvement in self-compassion and reduced stress. The purpose of

De senaste åren har fastighetsbolagen fått hantera ett stigande ränteläge från historiskt låga nivåer. Ökningen av styrräntan började under 2022 och sen dess har många fastighetsbolag haft en utmanande period, inte minst på världens börser. I media har det skrivits om att många fastighetsbolag har haft svårt att hantera de ökade räntekostnaderna. Fastighetsbolag bygger ofta på en relativt hög belåFor the past few years, the commercial real estate companies in Sweden have been affected by rising interest rates from previously low levels. The interest rates started to rise at the beginning of 2022, a challenging period for most of the commercial real estate companies. This can not only be seen in the companies financial data but also on the stock market. The media has written about the chall

The gig economy has expanded rapidly across the globe, and has become an increasingly influential feature of modern labour markets. The flexibility and autonomy offered by gig work coupled with the ability to earn a steady income are recognised benefits by many workers on digital platforms. These benefits can work synergistically with entrepreneurship, which is often characterised by uncertain tim

Leakage of iron and aluminium from acid sulphate soils has received more and more recognition in Sweden during recent years. Research show that key drivers for this release of metals is lowered groundwater levels and aeration of sulphide soils which turns the soils into acidic sulphate soils. This can cause exstensive degradation of the surrounding environment which has been observed downstrea

This thesis investigates the potential of using Fourier neural operators to predict subsonic and supersonic flows in converging-diverging nozzles, which includes complex flow phenomena such as shock waves. Two different data sets were generated using the Euler equations for fluid flow, one based on analytical relations for a quasi one-dimensional nozzle and another one which was created by numeric

This study investigates how EPU affects stock returns and volatility for Sweden’s four largest banks: Swedbank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Svenska Handelsbanken, and Nordea. As a small open economy with a concentrated and globally exposed banking sector, Sweden is particularly vulnerable to both domestic and international uncertainty shocks. Using monthly data from 2000 to 2024, we apply a GAR

The climate crisis will continue to threaten coastal cities. The mitigation method of building seawalls along the coast is often seen as an effective remedy for recurring floods. However, this infrastructure can have severe impacts on communities that rely on fishing and aquaculture. There need to be alternatives to the usual urban planning and design methods, which often overlook less fortunate

As climate change reshapes agricultural possibilities across Europe, new crops are emerging in previously marginal regions. In Skåne, southern Sweden, commercial wine production has expanded in recent years. This study explores how local winegrowers perceive the role of climate change in this development, what climate-related risks and opportunities they foresee, and what strategies they adopt to

The objective of this study is to investigate how the power profiles of residential houses in Sweden may look like in the future. Median power profiles for typical summer and winter days were created using real customer data. The customer group analyzed consists of houses in southern Sweden, SE4, equipped with both solar electricity production (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) with home charging st

Byggbranschen står inför en digital transformation där teknologier som digitala tvillingar, artificiell intelligens och internet of things börjar implementeras allt mer idag. Genom att skapa en digital modell som kontinuerligt uppdateras med realtidsdata och kopplas samman med fysiska byggnader, möjliggörs det övervakning, analysering och optimering av byggnadens prestanda. Syftet med studien ha

This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl

This essay examines the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's rhetoric on Russia's war in Ukraine, how it constructs Hungary's national identity and its implication for Hungary's foreign policy. The analysis is based on a Critical Discourse Analysis, which serves to critically analyse Orbán's statements in interviews, speeches and social media, among others. By analyzing Orbá

Detta examensarbete handlar om att beskriva hur kreativa processer såsom flow kan se ut i en musikers vardag. Vidare berör arbetet hur musiker kan berika sin kreativitet och konstnärlighet genom att kombinera musikaliska aktiviteter med teoretiska resonemang och problemlösning. Arbetet lyfter fram att grundläggande faktorer som kost, sömn, återhämtning och trygghet är avgörande för ett hållbart muThis thesis explores how creative processes take shape in the everyday lives of musicians and how they can be enriched through a combination of practical musicianship and theoretical reflection. Through semi-structured interviews with musicians, along with personal reflections, the thesis highlights how creativity and artistic expression can be strengthened by conscious problem-solving and critica

Traditionally rooted in a linear economy model, the European food industry is now rapidly shifting towards circular supply chain systems. Compared to the previous model, this approach offers significant environmental and socio-economic benefits, including greater resource efficiency, waste reduction, and increased market competitiveness. Despite a clear theoretical framework based on the principle

In recent years, discussions regarding problematic school absenteeism have increased in research and media. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) observed an increase in both valid and invalid absences among students attending compulsory school in 2023, compared to previous years. Using Michael Lipsky's theory of street-level bureaucrats, which encompasses alienation, discreti

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the mechanical response of paperboard in the out-of-plane direction by incorporating its microstructural characteristics, with a particular focus on fiber-fiber interactions and fracture mechanisms. These features are implemented into models of varying complexity to evaluate their influence on material behavior. Two fracture modeling techniques, the Extend

In the following study a collection of almost 300 travelogues from the second half of the 19th century is investigated. The travellers were technicians in the sense that they were technically knowledgeable and skilled individuals. The technicians, most of them skilled workers, travelled through the industrialised countries in Europe as well as the United States. During their travels they worked in

I denna studie tolkar jag Tvååkers vegetationsutveckling med hjälp av tidigare litteratur publicerad från andra loka-ler i Halland med paleoekologisk data, samt undersökningar på plats genom en borrkärneanalys från en mosse i Tvååkers Naturplats. Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur vegetationen utvecklats på platsen sedan den senaste deglaciationen och även föreslå tidsperioder som skall illust
