Syftet med studien var att kvalitativt undersöka kvinnliga fotbollsspelares upplevelse av att nå elitnivå. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes och totalt intervjuades tre deltagare. Intervjuerna analyserades med IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) som metodologisk ansats. Totalt kunde fem teman urskiljas som centrala i upplevelsen av elitnivå: tankar och känslor kopplade till övergångThe purpose of this study was to qualitatively explore the experience of reaching the elite level for women in football. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three participants. The interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). In total, five themes emerged: thoughts and feelings associated with reaching the elite level, social support, gender identity, m

Socialtjänsten har ett särskilt ansvar för barn. Detta åtagande innebär bland annat att staten har en skyldighet att vårda barn vars hälsa eller utveckling riskerar att skadas. I första hand ska vården, liksom stöd och andra insatser som socialtjänsten ansvarar för och tillhandahåller, beredas på frivillig väg. Det kan dock uppstå situationer då det är nödvändigt att ingripa med tvång från samhällThe social service has a special responsibility for children. This commitment means, among other things, that the state has an obligation to care for children whose health or development is at risk of injury. To the extent possible, the care shall, as in the case of other activities carried out by the social services, be provided on a voluntary basis. However, it may occur situations when it is ne

Studiens syfte var att nå en fördjupad förståelse av timeouter i handboll, hur de används och vad som kommuniceras. En fallstudie genomfördes med ett herrhandbollslag i den högsta divisionen i svensk handboll. En kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod användes där tränarens kommunikation kategoriserades med hjälp av Hasties (1999) instrument för skattning av tränarkommunikation under timeout.The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of timeouts in handball, how they are used and what is communicated. A case study was performed with a men’s handball team in the top division in Swedish handball. A combined quantitative and qualitative method was used where the coach’s communication was categorized using Hastie’s (1999) instrument for assessment of coach communication

This thesis investigates the free boundary value problem of pricing American put options written on one underlying asset. In particular, attention is given to nd an accurate approximation of the critical ex- ercise boundary. The problem is approached using radial basis func- tions in the shape of Gaussian densities, and basis functions in the form of European put options. Furthermore, the domain i

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic triggered changed circumstances extensively. One aspect of such changes arise from issues in cross-border supply contracts, for example due to incapability of contractual performance because of entry bans and lack of labor force as the employees were set on quarantines. Usually contractual non-performance leads to breacher’s liability for damages, but exceptio

In this Master's Thesis we study Semi-Riemannian Geometry. More speci cally, this is done by discussing some well-known classi cation theorems from Riemannian geometry and then showing some counter-examples to these in the semi-Riemannian setting. In particular, we brie y discuss the theorem by Hopf and Rinow, and give a counter-example to this in the semi-Riemannian setting. Moreover, we stud

Ungdomsbrottslighet har konsekvent varit föremål för diskussion. Frågan om hur samhället ska reagera mot ungdomsbrottslighet är en återkommande fråga. I förevarande uppsats följer en historisk utveckling av vilka straffrättsliga frihetsberövande påföljder som funnits för barn. Med hjälp av den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen beträffande synen på ungdomsbrottslighet ger uppsatsen ett perspektiv på vYouth crime has consistently been the subject of debate. The question of how society should react to juvenile offences is an ongoing debate. This paper follows the historical development of the criminal law sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for children. With the help of the development of criminal policy regarding the view of juvenile offences, the paper provides a perspective on wh

The conventional NAIRU model stipulates that any existing money illusion would vanish by the passage of time. In contrast, the model developed by Akerlof, Dickens and Perry (2000) (ADP) argues that inflation, instead of time, dissipate money illusion. Accordingly, there exists a possibility of an inflation unemployment tradeoff in the long run. This essay reviews the evidence of money illusion and

The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the subjective experience of momentum and the presence of momentum in performance. Earlier studies have focused on studying individuals and novices in fictive situations. We decided to study the phenomenon on a team level. A case study was conducted on ten female elite handball players who were asked to carry out a survey where the aim

Artificial antibodies in the form of gel granules were synthesized from the monomers acrylamide and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide by the imprinting method in the presence of Echerichia coli bacteria as template. The electrophoretic migration velocities of the gel antibodies (i) saturated with the antigen (Escherichia coli MRE-600), (ii) freed of the antigen, and (iii) resaturated with bacteria, were

The visual world projects a complex and rapidly changing image onto the retina of many animal species. This presents computational challenges for those animals reliant on visual processing to provide an accurate representation of the world. One such challenge is parsing a visual scene for the most salient targets, such as the selection of prey amid a swarm. The ability to selectively prioritize pr

In this presentation, I will summarize our findings on the effects of reindeer-induced vegetation transitions on carbon cycling processes and storage. These are monitored in subarctic Northern Norway alongside reindeer pasture rotation fences. At these sites, a yearly pulse of intensive reindeer grazing has turned the vegetation from shrub-dominated towards graminoid-dominated. We monitor the deve

Background: Early trials have reported a beneficial effect from tamoxifen treatment in patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer, in particular in women. However, the presence and prognostic significance of female hormone receptors in pancreatic or other periampullary cancers has not yet been described. Methods: Immunohistochemical screening of normal and malignant pancreatic tissue revealed t

Background: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for colorectal cancer (CRC), but whether this risk differs according to CRC subtype defined by the tumor immune microenvironment has been sparsely described. Herein, we examined the relationship between pre-diagnostic anthropometry and CRC risk according to tumor-infiltrating immune cell composition, with particular reference to potential sex d

PURPOSE: We know that pain has far-reaching detrimental effects across various life-domains and also affects health related quality of life after solid organ transplantation. However, the extent to which heart recipients experience chronic bodily pain in the years after heart transplantation is a neglected field. Pain is reported to be a major problem after other types of solid organ transplantati

PURPOSE: The knowledge is scarce regarding how recovery and well-being after lung transplantation is affected by various symptoms. Thus, little is known about self-management support for these recipients. Since fatigue is a symptom that severely impair well-being, the aim of this study was to explore associations between fatigue and influencing factors as perceived self-efficacy, social and psycho
