The 2.44 Ga Koillismaa intrusion of the Koillismaa-Näränkävaara Layered Complex, in northeastern Finland, has been studied in order to assess the formation processes involved during platinum-group element (PGE) mineralization. The layered series is host to the reef-type mineralization called Rometölväs Reef, and the marginal series contains contact-type mineralization. This MSc-project, besides gi
The purpose of the study is to investigate social workers’ experiences on encounters with male clients who have practiced violence in their partner relationships. The aim was to get a deeper understanding of how social workers handle their feelings and maintain a professional approach towards clients. Qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews was performed. Five social workers wit
This master thesis investigates how to perform irrational decimation, the process of reducing the sample rate of a signal, for high throughput systems. The thesis work consists both an algorithmic part and an implementation part. In the algorithmic part, an algorithm that could cope with the requirements is found, and investigated due to different aspects. A group of filters that are investigate
The aim of this study was to examine how addiction identity is created and changed and also to examine the link between alcohol and drug addiction, social norms, and stigma by analyzing four autobiographies. A qualitative research method, with a focus on the narrative aspects of the autobiographies, was used to investigate how the authors described their experiences, and how they create understand
Brown seaweeds are marine macro algae, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in food products in Europe. Saccharina latissima and Alaria esculenta are fast growing brown seaweeds species in European countries, mainly found in Norway and cold waters of the North Atlantic. These species are known to be rich sources of iodine, protein, polyphenols, carbohydrates and micronutrients like
The aim of the study was to investigate school counselors’ discretion and increase the knowledge of how it can approach and challenges it poses. Four school counselors’ were interviewed. To this study, I used semi-structured interviews. Themes such as large or limited discretion, relationship creation and trust emerged in the analysis. The study was empirically grounded and the results emphasized
Det senaste decenniet tenderar antalet barn som har en oroande skolfrånvaro öka enligt flera Svenska organisationer och myndigheter och bland dessa barn finns en stor andel med NPF-problematik. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka konsekvenserna för föräldrar med barn som diagnostiserats med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) som också har eller haft en problematisk skolfrånvaro under det senaste The past decade, the number of children who have had a worrying school absence seems to increase according to several authorities in Sweden. The aim of this study was to explore the consequences for parents with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who also have or had to have a problematic school absence this past year. The analyze focused on the consequences regarding social re
The comprising reform of the public sector has led to businesses increasingly been identified and considered as organizations. Organizations are characterized by being bound to the current business environment, can be measured with quantitative and qualitative measures against other organizations and controlled strategies against set targets. Research has since the mid 90's studied the New Pub
Indonesia had a taxation reform that was started from 2001 and ended in 2008. The taxation reform transformed both the tax regulation and tax institution. This study evaluates the impact of the taxation reform in Indonesia in 2008 to the tax compliance level of taxpayer, both corporate and personal taxpayer, in Indonesia and what factors that influence Indonesian tax compliance after the taxation
Inclusive innovation is seen as a means to counteract the issue of growing global inequality. Particularly universities and private businesses are engaged with its promotion. However, the concept of inclusive innovation has deficiencies concerning the operationalisation and measurement. In default of extensive primary data, a set of a hundred and two inclusive innovations has been gathered from tw
Vid läkemedelsutveckling används proteiner vars funktion är beroende på hur det är veckat (dess konformation). Denna veckning påverkas i sin tur av vätebindningar från vatten, som bildar vätskemiljön i kroppen där medicinen ska verka och styrkan av vätebindningar påverkas i sin tur av vattenmolekylernas orientering kring proteinet. För att kunna förutse proteinets funktion i kroppen är det därför A protein’s function is directly related to its structure, which is in a water medium where it is affected by hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect. These interactions are in turn dependent on the water molecules’ orientations around the protein. Therefore, it is vital to have correct orientations for the water molecules. Such information can be obtained by neutron crystallography. However, ev
The personal is still political as heterosexual romantic relationships are permeated by gender power dynamics. Previous research has shown that men tend to exploit women’s love, appropriate their care, and not reciprocate. This study looks at the impact of feminist values on these established patterns in Switzerland, a country known for being one of the last in western Europe to give women the rig
In this thesis, we consider a 2-Higgs-doublet model with a gauged Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism as an extension of the standard model. We assume that (i) the theory at the electroweak scale is the low energy limit of a theory defined at a scale $\Lambda_{FN}$ (ii) the Yukawa couplings at $\Lambda_{FN}$ are generated by the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism. The first assumption is enforced by requiring that
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur homosexuella män upplever surrogatmoderskap samt hur de påverkas av samhällets syn på surrogatmoderskap. Jag tar i detta sammanhang upp förarbetet - Olika vägar till föräldraskap (SOU 2016:11) och hur rapporteringen från olika media påverkar parens inställning i surrogatmoderskapsfrågan. Materialet i denna studie består av kvalitativa intervjuer med ho
Female entrepreneurs have been reported to choose self-employment for a variety of reasons, such as the flexibility of combining work and childcare. However, paradoxically female entrepreneurs may face double-bind situation where they are responsible for their business and are primary care givers of the family. Family farming is considered to be a very masculine occupation and the rural agricultur
This paper contributes to sustainability transitions studies in delivering stronger focus and relevance on culture and discursive features to apprehend social resistances towards transition agendas, and the unprecedented emergence of the challenging antagonism of the ‘end of the world’ versus ‘the end of the month’ revealed by the case study of the Yellow Vests crisis in France since November 2018
This thesis proposes a new effective Hamiltonian to represent the interactions taking place in the atomic nucleus. This estimated Hamiltonian is analogous to the Pairing-Plus-Quadrupole model and this work is focused exclusively on the quadrupole part, with the aim of describing nuclear structure in a computationally efficient way. We have compared the accuracy of our proposed expression with the
