Coarse-graining is commonly used to decrease the computational cost of simulations. However, coarse-grained models are also considered to have lower transferability, with lower accuracy for systems outside the original scope of parametrization. Here, we benchmark a bead-necklace model and a modified Martini 2 model, both coarse-grained models, for a set of intrinsically disordered proteins, with t

Aerosols and their interaction with clouds constitute the largest uncertainty in estimating the radiative forcing affecting the climate system. Secondary aerosol formation is responsible for a large fraction of the cloud condensation nuclei in the global atmosphere. Wetlands are important to the budgets of methane and carbon dioxide, but the potential role of wetlands in aerosol formation has not

In recent years, refugees from Myanmar have tried to get to the neighbouring countries in the hope of a safe place. Most of the refugees belong to the ethnic minority Rohingya, a group subjected to systematic persecution in their homeland. In 2015 a large amount of people were abandoned at sea when the people smugglers left the boats as a result of the escalation of action by the coast guards in T

In this thesis a Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is used to evaluate the net social benefits of a congestion charge in Malmö. A novel approach based on information from Google Maps is used to estimate the scope of present congestion issues in Malmö. Likely effects and the number of people affected is estimated using information from the trial in Stockholm, the trial in Gothenburg and a report on the f

In January 2017 the Swedish Prime minister announced at a conference in Sälen that for the first time in history Sweden now had a National Security Strategy and it was now to be implemented. In Sweden, ministers in the Cabinet are not allowed by the constitution to directly influence the work of Sweden’s governmental authorities. The institutions of the government are independent in the execution

The statistics shows that foreign-born women are the group where the lowest percentage of people are employed and the only group where unemployment increases in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to explore how foreign-born women’s experience of supportive and obstructive factors in connection with gainful employment in Sweden. Their experiences of the community's support and help to create

Studien undersökte sambanden mellan hur psykologer uppfattade chefers autonomi- och kompetensstödjande tillämpning av politiska beslut och upplevt arbetsklimat samt huruvida detta predicerade arbetsmotivation och arbetskrav. Studien utgick från Self-Determination Theory vilken framhåller tre medfödda psykologiska behov som är essentiella för främjandet av motivation hos människor. 164 psykologer vThe aim of this study was to examine the relation between how psychologists perceived their managers as autonomy- and competence supportive in implementing policies and need satisfaction. Furthermore, this study investigated whether these variables could predict work motivation and job demands among psychologists. The study is based on Self-Determination Theory, which emphasizes three innate needs

The purpose of this study was to increase an understanding of how school counselors in Sweden reason about the social problem with truants, “Hemmasittare '' in Swedish, and how the elementary schools work with this. To enable the purpose of the study to be maintained, a qualitative interview study became current. Seven semi-structured interviews with school counselors were conducted. The e

This bachelor thesis aims to apply an actor oriented social networking theory to analyse a letter collection written by Olga Johnsson, a young Swedish female immigrant to the USA between 1895 and 1900. Its main question is what her social network looked like, what was exchanged within it, and the content and meaning of her social relationships. This approach to "letters from America" has

Syftet med studien var att förstå om och hur sångare har upplevt fysisk och emotionell påverkan av målbrottet och hur deras kunskap om målbrottet ser ut. Vidare var syftet att ta reda på hur utbildade och erfarna sångpedagoger förhåller sig till och arbetar med målbrottet i sin undervisning för att förstå vilka arbetssätt framtida sångpedagoger kan använda sig av. Bakgrunden till studien grundar sThis study aims to understand if and how singers experience voice change in a physical and emotional way and how much knowledge they have about their adolescent voice change. Further on the study also aims to understand how educated and experienced vocal teachers adapt and are working with adolescent voices and how their working methods can be used for other future vocal teachers. The background t
