Bullying is defined as repeated and unwanted aggressive behavior involving a power imbalance and hurt children and adolescents’ socioemotional functioning. The aim is to investigate associations between pain (headache, stomach pain, backache, and neck/shoulder pain) and bullying among school-aged children and adolescents. This cross-sectional school-based survey comes from the Icelandic data set i
Every aspect of modern life is dominated by decision-making and the availability of data. We constantly access, process and evaluate data as we navigate complex and uncertain problem spaces. Communication and Information Technologies (ICTs) have developed to a point where it is possible for very large data sets, measured in Exabyte, to be stored across many servers and gathered by many different p
This work is to popularize the method of computing the distribution of the excursion times for a Gaussian process that involves extended and multivariate Rice's formula. The approach was used in numerical implementations of the high-dimensional integration routine and in earlier work it was shown that the computations are more effective and thus more precise than those based on Rice expansions.TheThis work is to popularize the method of computing the distribution of the excursion times for a Gaussian process that involves extended and multivariate Rice's formula.

The Cretaceous - Paleogene boundary (K-Pg, 66 Ma) was a time interval with dramatic changes in the Earth’s climate and the ocean environment. It was characterized by severe disruptions of marine biogeochemical cycles due to a meteorite impact during a time of active volcanism. The extinction of calcifiers, among others, influenced biogeochemical cycles and changed the conditions for carbonate depo
The energy transition of housing is accelerating in parallel with economic inequality reaching historically high levels. There is thus an opportunity to reduce inequalities in living conditions, but also a risk that the costs of the transition are unequally distributed and aggravate existing inequalities. In order to seize the opportunity for a just transition, and in tandem enable a meaningful in

Syftet med studien var att få en fördjupad kunskap om ickebinära transpersoners vårderfarenheter och hur dessa kan förbättras. En kvalitativ metod med hermeneutisk och fenomenologisk ansats användes. Fem semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med individer som identifierade sig som ickebinära transpersoner, och i analysen av materialet användes Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). I sThe aim of the study was to explore the healthcare experiences of non-binary transgender individuals, and possible improvements of healthcare services. A qualitative method with a hermeneutic and phenomenological approach was used. Five semi structured interviews were conducted, with self-identified non-binary transgender individuals. The transcripts were analysed according to the Interpretative P
The M&A activity among companies worldwide increases every year, at the same time as much as 70 % of all M&A’s are being reviewed as failures. M&A’s are a fast mean of positioning for a company, which makes the strategy increasingly relevant for high-tech companies since the high tech industry can change in both quick and disruptive ways. This study aims to explore the most common moti
The objective of the study was to test Ebaughs theory on the exit processes may add to our understanding of role changes. This essay has researched author’s descriptions of the way out of social vulnerability in autobiographies to discover similarities to Ebaughs theory. The sample in the study has consisted three autobiographies addressing different social issues. Material in the study has been c
There are a lot of “non-design” areas which have a big influence on design and design strategy. These are things like business, manufacturing, marketing, economics etc. . If a designer fails to understand the impact of these parameters, even the greatest design may result in a mediocre product. In order to be able to create excellent products, it’s crucial that the designer takes part in th
Enligt högskoleförordningen kan universitet och högskolor I Sverige vidta disciplinära åtgärder mot studenter som fuskar. Reglerna kräver dock att en student ska ha begått handlingen med uppsåt för att ansvar ska kunna utkrävas. Endast oaktsamhet kan således inte utgöra en grund för att vidta disciplinära åtgärder mot en student. Trots att ett stort antal studenter varje är blir föremål för discipThe Swedish governmental ordinance for higher public education, Högskoleförordningen, allows universities in Sweden to take disciplinary measures towards students that are found cheating. However, the rules require that the cheating actions of the student has been committed either intentionally or knowingly in order for them to be held responsible. Simple negligence is thus not an allowed reason t

This thesis explores how Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Mister Pip (2006) by Lloyd Jones engage with the issue of the white male outsider’s activity of writing black people’s stories. It shows that Adichie counters the discourse that entitles the Western subject, Richard, to tell African stories by transferring his interpretive privilege to the African object, Ugwu. Jo
I dagens serviceverksamheter spelar personalen ofta en vital roll för organisationens framgång. En typ av serviceverksamhet är hotell där de anställda skapar servicemöten och där kundnöjdheten ofta beror på personalens handlingar. I hotellverksamheter är det därför viktigt att ge de anställda möjligheter och resurser för att kunna agera och ta ansvar. Om medarbetarna får detta samt om de vill ta aIn todays service organisations the employees play a crucial role for companies to build a competitive advantage. In hotels it is the employees who creates the service encounter, and the customer satisfaction therefore depends on the employees actions. This makes it important for the hotel organisations to give the employees opportunities to act in every situation, and let the employees be and act
How close a computer model comes to recreating real-world phenomena often depends on the value of its internal parameters, but investigating the outcome of the model for every point in parameter space is in practice an impossible task. Here an artificial neural network is used as a numerical predictor on two different system biology computer models. A semi-implicit solver was also implemented for
