Metoden som har använts i studien har varit kvalitativ forskningsmetod i form av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Totalt har tretton domar studerats på grund av svårigheter i urvalet från fyra olika förvaltningsrätter. Jag har analyserat empiri utifrån ett genusperspektiv för att kunna urskilja om skillnader görs i bedömningar vad gäller flickor och pojkars sociala problematik. Studien visar attThe aim of this study was to analyze how the social problems that form the basis for the care of boys and girls are described in judgments according to § 3 LVU (Care of young persons special provisions act) from Yvonne Hirdmans genderperspective. Therefore I have studied 13 cases of §3 LVU to see how girls 'and boys' social problems are described and whether there are any similarities

Time series classification is a prevalent problem for sensor data in an industrial setting. The ability to classify time series correctly allows for predictive maintenance which is the process of optimally maintaining assets and ensuring minimal ”down-time” of machines or processes. A requirement for classifying the time series are labeled time series that can be used as training instances. Labell

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem som fortsätter att öka. Arbetsterapeuter inom psykiatrin använder kreativa aktiviteter som intervention då det har visat sig främja rehabiliteringsprocessen för personer med psykisk ohälsa Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva patienters erfarenheter och upplevda betydelse av kreativa aktiviteter som arbetsterapeutisk intervention gällande vuxna per

Beslutsfattande har en avgörande roll i verksamheters framgång och fall. Det som särskiljer de två utfallen är ofta tillgången till rätt information något som verksamheterna kan få tag på genom att använda sig av Big Data. Denna data karaktäriseras dock av ett antal V faktorer som gör den svårhanterlig och därför behöver hanteras med Big Data Analytics (BDA). Vilket omfattar de arbetssätt och tekn

The social work field, like several others, has been forced to readjust in adapting to the prevailing restrictions with Covid-19. The assessment instrument Addiction Severity Index provides an overview of problems related to alcohol and drug use. This instrument has, considering the circumstances, been performed over the telephone instead of in person. The aim of this study was to examine social w

Prevalensen av obesitas hos ungdomar är ett snabbt växande problem i Sverige, och är kopplat till betydande negativa psykologiska konsekvenser för många. Enhet Barnövervikt i Malmö, som behandlar ungdomar med obesitas, har önskat undersöka den psykiska ohälsan och ätrelaterade bekymmer hos patienter som bedöms för viktminskningskirurgi för att utöka sin kunskap. Deras huvudsakliga frågeställningarThe prevalence of obesity in adolescents is increasing rapidly in Sweden, and is associated with psychological consequences. The Childhood Obesity Unit in Malmö, which treats adolescents with obesity, wished to examine the mental health and eating pathology of patients presenting for assessment for bariatric surgery.

Denna uppsats undersöker informationsasymmetri på den svenska bilförsäkringsmarknaden. Genom att använda kunddata från Länsförsäkringar Upp- sala analyserar studien korrelationen mellan täckning och risk. Två logit- modeller estimerar effekten av att en ökad grad av försäkring leder till större sannolikhet för skadeanmälan. Tillsammans med dessa estimeringar kontrollerar vi för att olika försäkrin

Avsmak i fisk odlad i recirkulerande akvatiska system (RAS) är en problematik som har påverkat fiskodlare runt hela världen. Företaget Gårdsfisk upplever sensoriska skillnader i produktionen mellan deras två anläggningar. Samtidigt vill de kunna kontrollera de sensoriska skillnaderna mellan dagar då fisken spenderar i reningsbassäng. Detta är anledningen till att företaget Gårdsfisk bad om att få Distaste in fish grown in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is a problem that has been going on for a while now and has affected fish farmers all around the world. The company Gårdsfisk experiences sensory differences in production between their two plants. At the same time, they want to check the sensory differences on days when the fish spend in a purification basin. This is why the compan

Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t

Within the start-up ecosystem, young and small firms often face a significant challenge by acquiring external capital, the so-called funding gap. A trend throughout the recent years was, (and still is), the geographical clustering of financial institutions and investors in financial concentrated areas, which are referred to as financial centers. Those areas create huge disparities between differen

Morality and morally charged decision-making is a fundamental part of work conducted in any human service organization. Social workers employed in these organizations are tasked with evaluating whether their clients are eligible for social assistance. This evaluation process is tied to the client’s moral behavior, social condition and economic situation. While the laws and guidelines regulating th

This thesis is done in collaboration with Nordea Corporate Finance. It was borne out of the need to examine the effect single sourcing acquisition deals has on value creation for acquiring shareholders. A short-term event study methodology with varying event windows was employed to empirically test this effect. The sample is made up of 69 M&A deals involving non-financial firms listed on Nasda

Following the increasing number of climatic shocks and disasters, the poor and most vulnerable are disproportionately affected as their already exposed situation becomes further worsened. The gendered impacts of climate disasters have demonstrated how women and girls vulnerable position is exacerbated in relation to existing socio-cultural norms and inequalities, making them one of the most vulner

Biopolymers are being considered as a promising alternative to fossil-based polymers and this inclination towards biopolymers is due to their lower environmental impact owing to their origin from renewable resources. The environmental impact assessment, however, often does not consider the impact of barrier properties of polymers and the resulting differences in food waste generated in the supply

At present, social media platforms pay more and more attention to convey sustainable concepts to users, and at the same time, gamification is a popular interaction approach to attract users, then the purpose of this research is to explore how to leverage gamification into social media to make users sustainable, and the target audiences are the enterprises of social media. The entire study is a des

Despite that freight transports account for a notable and increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, previous studies have identified that buyers of freight transport services often do not engage sufficiently to reduce emissions from the freight transports they purchase. An aspect that has not been adequately investigated, however, is how transport purchasers are influenced by new

Distansarbete har senaste året blivit allt mer aktuellt som en följd av att minska smittspridningen av covid-19. Det blir därför av intresse att i denna uppsatsen undersöka vad som händer med den uppleva samhörigheten på distans och om det går att upprätthålla den utan att träffas fysiskt. Syftet är därför att med uppsatsen bidra med ökad förståelse för hur personer upplever samhörighet i samband
