The evidence-based practice in the field of social work is leaning on science, professional expertise, and the client's wishes and experiences, with the latter two tending to be of less value. With the implementation of peer support in psychiatric care and social support, there is room for this tendency to be challenged. This study aimed to explore how the peer supporters experience and view t
Background: Clinical trial participants may be temporarily absent or withdraw from trials, leading to missing data. In intention-to-treat (ITT) analyses, several approaches are used for handling the missing information - complete case (CC) analysis, mixed-effects model (MM) analysis, last observation carried forward (LOCF) and multiple imputation (MI). This report discusses the consequences of app
Alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) is a glycoprotein synthesised in the liver. Its main role is to protect lung tissue from destruction by neutrophil elastase. In severe (PiZZ) AAT deficiency, there is an increased risk of emphysema, especially in smokers. The deficiency is caused by the retention and aggregation by polymerization of the AAT molecules in the liver, which increases the risk of neonatal chol
Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) and Bourke's parrots (Neopsephotus bourkii) are closely related birds with different activity patterns. Budgerigars are strictly diurnal while Bourke's parrots are active in dim twilight. Earlier studies show that the intensity threshold of colour vision is similar in both species while Bourke's parrots have larger eyes with a higher density of rods than budge
The small size of the billions of migrating songbirds commuting between temperate breeding sites and the tropics has long prevented the study of the largest part of their annual cycle outside the breeding grounds. Using light-level loggers (geolocators), we recorded the entire annual migratory cycle of the red-backed shrike Lanius collurio, a trans-equatorial Eurasian-African passerine migrant. We

Electric road systems can be defined as a system transferring energy from a road to an electric vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, either to power the vehicle’s movement or to charge its batteries. This thesis aimed to investigate how this relatively new technology of electric road systems could be implemented in a port. The research was conducted by having a two-fold research purpose. Firstl
Sexuella övergrepp utgör en mycket allvarlig integritetskränkning. För att motarbeta dessa övergrepp krävs ett starkt och välutvecklat straffrättsligt skydd. Som en följd härav har våldtäktslagstiftningen, allt sedan brottsbalkens (BrB) ikraftträdande år 1965, utvecklats till att bli alltmer offercentrerad, inkluderande och avancerad. Det är uppenbart att det rör sig om sena reformer, men icke desSexual abuses constitute a very serious integrity violation. To counter these abuses requires a strong and well-developed criminal law. As a consequence, ever since the Penal Code (PC) entered into force in 1965, the rape legislation has developed to become ever more victim-centered, inclusive and advanced. It is obvious it’s about late reforms, but nonetheless clearly that the judicial system has
Den kunskap en arbetstagare har utgör en av de primära tillgångarna i en näringsverksamhet. Uppdelningen mellan vilken information som tillfaller arbetsgivaren och vilken information som utgör personligt kunnande blir framförallt aktuell då en anställning upphör. Situationen att arbetstagaren byter arbete till en anställning inom samma verksamhetsområde är mer regel än undantag. Det är viktigt förThe knowledge that workers possess is one of the primary assets of a business. The divisions between which information that belongs to the employer, and which information an employee can bring into a new employment become relevant when the employment terminates. In the late spring of 2016 the European Commission and the European Council approved a directive about the protection for trade secrets t
Following the annexation of Crimea in March 2014 and the conflict that broke out in Eastern Ukraine shortly afterwards, 1.679.000 people became internally displaced in Ukraine. Due to the large scale of the displacement, the legislative gaps and low capacity of institutions, national law and practice are inconsistent with international standards for the protection of internally displaced persons.
Since 1988 there have been international attempts to regulate banks with the Basel Rules; despite these international efforts to regulate banks within the Basel Rules, the rules have been insufficient. The financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the importance of regulatory oversight in the banking sector. The crisis resulted in strengthened regulatory approaches worldwide, within the USA and Europe,

In this study, we have explored the viability of using machine learning models to predict the outcomes of Premier League football matches. Especially we have evaluated the effectiveness with the Kelly Criterion as a betting strategy. We processed a comprehensive dataset to develop six distinct predictive models, each designed to forecast the probability of three possible match outcomes: a home win
This study aimed to examine the counselor's view of mental health and how Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used in counseling sessions to improve adolescents' mental health. By conducting semi-structured interviews with nine Swedish school counselors and counselors who work with adolescents and/or young adults the study explores in what way ACT can be used to improve the mental h

Due to this, we found it interesting to immerse ourselves in the topic of adults. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how individuals who got the diagnosis as adults or youths reflect about three different aspects; how the diagnosis has affected th
This report discusses the use of magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) as a diagnostic imaging method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast agent. With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e
Using statistical tests, the profitability and predictive power of a technical analysis strategy based on candlestick patterns is tested. Candlestick technical analysis is a short term strategy based on the open, high, low and closing prices of a financial asset. The results show that the strategy is not profitable in the short term and has no predictive power when applied to 29 OMXS30 stocks over
