2024 marks the second anniversary of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war has resulted in large numbers of Ukrainian refugees entering EU member states, including Germany. As far-right parties are on the rise across Europe, the topic of immigration is high on the political agenda again. Mainstream right and far right parties are competing for the discursive upper hand on the top
A search for the Standard Model Higgs boson decaying into a pair of tau leptons is reported. The analysis is based on a data sample of proton-proton collisions collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1). No significant excess over the expected background is observed in the Higgs boson mass range of 100-150GeV. The observed (expected) up
The response of terrestrial ecosystems to rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca), particularly under nutrient-limited conditions, is a major uncertainty in Earth System models. The Eucalyptus Free-Air CO2 Enrichment (EucFACE) experiment, recently established in a nutrient- and water-limited woodland presents a unique opportunity to address this uncertainty, but can best do so if key model uncer
Growing research on social capital and health has fuelled the debate on whether there is a place effect on health. A central question is whether health inequality between places is due to differences in the composition of people living in these places (compositional effect) or differences in the local social and physical environments (contextual effects). Despite extensive use of multilevel approa
Total resection of glioblastoma multiform (GBM), the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor, is challenging among other things due to difficulty in intraoperative discrimination between normal and residual tumor cells. This project demonstrates the potential of a system based on a combination of autofluorescence and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy to be useful as an intraoperative guidi
Vargen som art är strikt skyddad i enlighet med EU-rättsliga direktiv. Undantag från skyddet medges endast under vissa specifika förutsättningar. Möjlighet att få prövat i domstol om dessa förutsättningar varit uppfyllda när ett licensjaktbeslut fattats saknades i svensk rätt fram till så sent som den 1 april i år (2016), eftersom det fanns ett överklagandeförbud i jaktförordningen. I stället utgjThe wolf is as a species strictly protected by directives from the EU. Exceptions from the protection are only admitted in accordance with certain specific conditions. Up until the 1st of April 2016 the Swedish Hunting Regulation contained a ban on appeals, meaning that the question of whether the conditions for licensed hunting for wolves were fulfilled or not, could not be reviewed by a court. I
This study aimed to examine perceived professional preparedness among social work students in their sixth and seventh semesters at Lund University, and to analyze statistical relationships between field placement supervision, students’ overall experiences of their field placement period, and professional preparedness. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach through a digital survey d
Drinking water distribution systems directly affect the quality of life, public health, and the reliability of essential water services. This study evaluates the hydraulic performance and operational efficiency of the Kirke Eskilstrup drinking water distribution network in Denmark using hydraulic modelling in MIKE+. Furthermore, a stakeholder value analysis was included to identify how the modelli
This thesis explores arguments and styles of argumentation in favour of Scotland gaining independence and rejoining the European Union in the aftermath of the United Kingdom leaving the EU in 2020. Since a majority of Scots did not support Brexit, it has provided Scottish independence supporters with a unique opportunity to bolster their arguments in the political debate. The thesis is built on a
Environmental and health risks are increasing in large Mediterranean cities like Athens, where high urban density and limited vegetation intensify the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study analyzes the spatial patterns of surface urban heat in Athens, Greece, using satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a proxy for UHI conditions. LST datasets were derived from Landsat 8 thermal
Syftet med studien var att undersöka universitetsstudenters användning av musik för emotionsreglering i vardagen, med särskilt fokus på att använda musik för att påverka hur en situation upplevs respektive att använda musik för att rikta uppmärksamheten bort från obehagliga tankar eller känslor. Studien genomfördes som en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie via webbenkät. Det slutliga urvalet bestod av NThe aim of the study was to examine university students’ use of music for emotion regulation in everyday life, with a particular focus on using music to alter situational experiences and using music to redirect attention away from distressing thoughts or emotions. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design, with data collected through an online survey. The final sample consisted of N

PURPOSE: Brief Admission by self-referral (BA) is a standardized crisis-management intervention for individuals with self-harm and risk for suicide. This study explored relatives' experiences of BA. Relatives' perspectives may contribute to an increased understanding of the effects of BA given the relatives' role as support and informal caregivers as well as being co-sufferers.METHODS: Fourteen re
De senaste årens ekonomiska kriser har tvingat många företag att rationalisera och dra ned på anställda. Genom att endast behålla en kärna av egna anställda kan företag anpassa sig efter toppar och dalar i konjunkturen genom att hyra in personal vid behov. Bemanningsföretag är företag som hyr ut sin personal till kundföretag. Kundföretaget får i uthyrningskontraktet arbetsledningsrätt över den inh
To examinate the incentives there is today and if new verified incentives can generate synergy for a more efficient and extended work with those environmental green building certification systems that are available in Sweden today. This study will focus on Green Building, Miljöbyggnad, LEED and BREEAM.
I denna uppsats redovisas den del av organisationsteorin som diskuterar fördelen med att skapa en organisatorisk identitet. Den tidigare litteraturen tar sin utgångspunkt i att personalen är anställd och arbetar i en och samma organisation. I dag kan vi se början till en förändring i verkligheten då nya verksamhetsformer skapas i form av nätverksbaserade organisationer med mer diffusa gränser gent

En enkätundersökning på internet genomfördes. Förfrågan om att delta i undersökningen skickades ut till 2900 studerande via deras studentmejladresser. Data från 410 respondenter test
Title: Resistance and uncertainty in change processes. How can dialogue and participation be used to ensure a successful implementation of a change initiative? Author: Cathrine Westlie Eidal Advisor: Charlotte Simonsson Problem: Resistance and uncertainty towards change are the main problems why change initiatives fail. There is also a lack in the literature when it comes to how the employees perc
The aim of this study is to decribe social care in homes for elderly mentally frail people and by means of social-philosophical theories identify and analyse these in relation to practical working in social care. The quality study has been possible by the use of interviews with four care-workers and by participant observation. My opinion is that - regarding quality aspects - there isn´t enough tim
The objective of this thesis was to examine what recipients of aid from Swedish Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) think about the support and about their possibilities to be independent after the support has been withdrawn. The research questions were: What is the purpose of the aid, from the recipients' point of view? What is the recipients' view of their future as self-supporting and
