I carried out six interviews in a "resource-school". The pupils were between ten and fifteen years old and they were all boys with a conduct disorder. The purpose of my study was to find out how the pupils experience school and with that starting point I wanted to contribute to the understanding and the importance of the "resource-school" for the pupils' development. My mai

One aspect rarely addressed in rhetorical analyses of Pauline texts is that the emphasis on rhetorical features tends to exclude dialectical aspects such as the layout of arguments and their soundness. However, these are equally important aspects alongside the rhetorical ones when assessing argumentation from an overall perspective.I suggest that when analysing Paul's argumentation it is useful to

How do decision makers problematize unestablished EU citizens in terms of the Swedish welfare model? By utilizing Carol Bacchi’s critical policy analysis de-scribed as ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’, the aim of this study is partly to identify and map out what problem representations are made by Swedish deci-sion makers, and partly to illustrate how to understand these by means of the wel

This thesis studies protection as integral to security. Protection has been used to keep women from the ‘public sphere’ and abused by peacekeepers and patriarchs alike, suggesting that being protected is not synonymous with being safe but can cause violence and exclusion. From that contradiction, I ask how the concepts of protection and security are produced, and to what effects for (gender) equal

The relationship between macroeconomic variables and the stock market index has been studied by a large number of academics and practitioners over the last two decades. However,even though the stock market in China has been in rapid development, the similar studies concerning China remain relatively insufficient. This study examines the relationship between the China’s stock market and a set of ma

Denna uppsats behandlar vårdnadsregleringen i 6 kap. föräldrabalken (1949:381), med tonvikt på principen om barnets bästa.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka och jämföra hur tre erfarna körledare beskriver sitt arbete med intonation i sina körer. Avsikten är att ta reda på vilka faktorer de menar påverkar intonationen och vilka arbetsmetoder de anser effektiva för att främja en god intonation i kör. För att uppnå målet med studien utfördes kvalitativa intervjuer med tre körledare i vars körer författaren tidigare sju

Denmark and the Netherlands both have higher than EU-average turnout for national parliamentary elections. However, for European Parliament elections, Denmark’s turnout is consistently above EU-average, while the Dutch turnout is consistently under the EU-average. In 2019, Danish turnout was 66%, Dutch 41,9%, where the overall turnout in the EU was 50,6%. What explains this difference in otherwise

This thesis presents studies of three different Quark-Gluon Plasma estimators in proton-proton collisions using what is currently believed to be quark-gluon plasma observables; radial flow, elliptic flow and strangeness enhancement. The three tested estimators were Transverse Spherocity, an altered version of Transverse Spherocity where all p_T was put to one, and a newly developed estimator calle

Intelligence sharing between states is becoming increasingly frequent as new terror attacks occur. The information traditionally shared has been warnings concerning more or less specific persons and threats. In the present day, the information shared tends to be personal data which is transferred in bulk. There is no clear suspicion as to crimes committed by the persons whose data is transferred.

Användandet av samarbetsplattformer har ökat drastiskt under senare år i och med att distansarbete blivit allt mer vanligt. Målet med den här masteruppsatsen var att utforska vilken inverkan olika chattfunktioner har på användbarheten av sådana samarbetsplattformer. Mer specifikt syftade uppsatsen till att svara på följande forskningsfrågor: 1) Vilka chattfunktioner är avgörande för god användbarhThe use of online collaboration platforms has increased drastically in recent years with the rise of remote work. The focus of this Master thesis was to explore what impact different instant messaging features have on the usability of such collaboration platforms. Specifically, the thesis aimed to answer the following research questions: 1) What instant messaging features are essential for good us

Essentialism is an unpopular word in contemporary anthropology. One would probably be hard pressed to find an anthropologist who would adopt any traditional essentialist position. Indeed, uses of the word "essentialism" occasionally seem little different from the uses of a derogative. Anti- essentialism is the norm today and several forms of contemporary anthropology make it a basic ten

This thesis aims to analyse problem representations in the Government Offices of Sweden’s policies on men’s violence against women with the use of Carol Bacchi’s (1999) critical policy analysis approach “What’s the problem represented to be?” (WPR). The thesis's theoretical and methodological point of departure is closely connected to the WPR approach, but with the inclusion of definitions of

This thesis has the purpose to increase the understanding of knowledge sharing between dispersed units of a large organization. By conducting a qualitative study with an abductive approach, consisting of a case study at Volvo Group where we looked into a cross-functional committee, we researched what the knowledge sharing processes look like and what barriers hinder the sharing of knowledge. We us
