This paper has examined the potential power of media in relation to ‘security’ for the Jews in the Swedish society. My intention was to find out whether media constitute a risk for the increasing notion of anti-Semitism which also enhances the threat for the Jews in Sweden to become a security matter and therefore result in a need for securitization. The analysis has been done partly through prese
Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f

Problembeskrivning: Bearbetade grönsaker kan vara problematiskt då grönsakens förmåga att hålla vatten och näringsämnen förändras med tiden. Det naturliga skyddet mot angrepp från mikroorganismer skadas även det. När man skär eller skadar grönsaker på något sätt så öppnas fler ytor upp för mikroorganismer att ta sig in på och hitta näring för att föröka sig. Men det är inte den enda nackdelen med
Due to human-induced environmental changes, many natural populations are undergoing extensive fitness declines. Natural or sexual selection could potentially shift the phenotypic mean of critical traits towards new phenotypic optima, promoting evolutionary rescue. However, this process has rarely been studied in natural populations. Furthermore, the population fitness can also be increased by gene
Denna studie undersökte ungdomars erfarenheter av viktmobbning i en svensk skolkontext, samt hur ungdomar upplever skolans strategier för att hantera viktmobbning och vilka insatser de önskar att skolan hade vidtagit. Eftersom tidigare forskning som fokuserar på själva upplevelsen av viktmobbning är begränsad, gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie där en kritisk realistisk position intogs för atThe aim of this study was to investigate adolescents’ experiences of weight- related bullying in a Swedish school context, how they experience the schools’ strategies for weight-related bullying and which actions they wished the schools had taken. Since previous research on the subject is limited, an explorative qualitative study was conducted in which a critical realist position was adopted. The
I Sverige har alla rätt till skydd av personuppgifter, rätt att ta del av allmänna handlingar och yttrandefrihet. Rättigheterna skyddas av såväl våra nationella grundlagar som av EU:s primärrätt och EKMR. Det är dock inte ovanligt att det uppstår situationer där dessa rättigheter ställs emot varandra. Exempel på sådana situationer är när en enskild begär att dennes personuppgifter tas bort från enEveryone in Sweden has the right to protection of personal data, the right to access public documents, and freedom of expression. These rights are protected by our national constitution, EU primary law, and the European Convention on Human Rights. However, it is not uncommon for situations to arise where these rights conflict each other. Such an example is when an individual requests that their pe
Adults with a history of substance abuse constitute a marginalized group whose experiences of contact with social services are rarely highlighted in research. This study aimed to explore how clients with prior substance abuse problems experience the treatment they received within the social services’ unit for financial assistance and housing, and how such treatment influences their openness to rec
