The aim of this study is to explore social workers' experiences with work-related stress and coping, along with their attitudes towards holistic methods as tools for stress management. Since social workers are at high risk for burnout and work-related stress, it is of interest to explore whether a holistic approach can contribute to increasing sustainability among social workers. Through quali
Prioriteringar på den kliniska nivån inom hälso- och sjukvården avgör såväl vilka patienter som ska få behandling som vilken behandlingsmetod som ska användas i det enskilda fallet. Även om sådana prioriteringar i vissa fall kan få tämligen långtgående följder för den enskilde är det i dagsläget oklart om dessa kan bli föremål för överklagande. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att undersöka hurClinical-level prioritizations in health care determine both which patients are to receive treatment and which treatment method is to be used in the individual case. Although such prioritizations may, in certain instances, have quite far-reaching consequences for the individual, it is currently unclear whether they may be subject to judicial review. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to exa
20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho
The use of CFD-models as an engineering tool for fire based analytical design of buildings has increased over the last few years. The reason for this is partly that the legislation allows for analytical dimensioning but also because the legislation demands a high degree of verification for the analytical dimensioning. The biggest reason is, however, that the computer power has increased and reache
The aim of this thesis is to examine natural resource rights of the non-herding Saami population in Sweden. Throughout history Swedish governments have actively reinforced the notion of herding as the core of Saami culture. In reality, the Saamis involved in this traditional livelihood consists a small part of the overall Saami population. Swedish law still make a distinction between the herding a
Medgärningsmannaskapet är en komplex rättsfigur som både tillämpats och kommit till uttryck på olika sätt. Det är en oförutsägbar konstruktion och därför intressant att studera och lätt att kritisera. Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för medgärningsmannaskapets rättsliga stöd, tillämpning och uttryck samt huruvida konstruktionen tillämpats i linje med en sådan medverkanslära som StraffrättskommiIn Sweden there is a complex legal construction called “medgärningsmannaskap” (perpetrators of parties to a crime) that is both applied and expressed in many different ways. It is an unpredictable unit in the Swedish legal system and thus interesting to study and easy to criticize. The purpose of this thesis is to describe on what legal foundation “medgärningsmannaskapet” is built upon, how it is
In Sweden today, the participation in children’s activities of the Church of Sweden is increasing, also in relation to the size of the age groups. The number of members in the Church of Sweden is decreasing, as well as participation in baptism and confirmation. Considering these facts the main question of this studie is: Why choose children’s activities arranged by the Church of Sweden today? With
In recent years, the practice of adopting Public Works Programs (PWPs) as a development strategy has increased in developing countries. Successful PWPs have the potential to act as a social protection scheme for the poor and stimulate their economic development. In 2006, the Indian government launched the yet largest PWP, as a way to create a more inclusive growth in the country – the Mahatma Gand
The Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) is a tool for measuring the wellbeing of an economy. The question of how to include the use of renewable energy sources is important when estimating the GPI for an economy highly dependent on renewable energy like Iceland. An analysis of GPI estimations showed that the use of renewable energy sources is reflected by the subtraction of the use of non-renewable o
Co-creation (or co-production, Voorberg et al., 2015) of public services together with individual service users is based on the assumption that the individual can define her or his own value to be co-created. However, in the case of children, this can be put into doubt, as children do not have the same cognitive perspectives and abilities as adults, and a weaker voice as agents. This results in thCo-creation (or co-production, Voorberg et al., 2015) of public services together with individual service users is based on the assumption that the individual can define her or his own value to be co-created.

Hydropower makes up nearly half of Sweden's electrical energy production. However, the distribution of the water resources is not aligned with demand, as most of the inflows to the reservoirs occur during the spring flood period. This means that carefully planned reservoir management is required to help redistribute water resources to ensure optimal production and accurate forecasts of the spring
Optimisation of radiological protection for operators working with fluoroscopically guided procedures has to be performed during the procedure, under varying and difficult conditions. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of a system for real-time visualisation of radiation dose rate on optimisation of occupational radiological protection in fluoroscopically guided procedures. In
Three-dimensional (3D) solar maps based on Radiance simulations are presented for a future city district in southern Norway. The surface mapping method provides the commercial developer with a practical tool to evaluate the potential for building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV). The solar maps identify the optimum roof and facade areas available for solar energy utilization. The importance of BIPV
Longitudinal studies of caregiver burden when caring for persons with dementia living at home are sparse. The aim of the study was to identify factors associated with caregiver burden and predicting increased burden related to caregivers, persons with dementia and formal care. Data were collected through interviews with 1223 caregivers in eight European countries. Bivariate and multivariate regres
A search is conducted for a beyond-the-Standard-Model boson using events where a Higgs boson with mass 125 GeV decays to four leptons (ℓ = e or μ). This decay is presumed to occur via an intermediate state which contains one or two on-shell, promptly decaying bosons: H → ZX/XX → 4ℓ, where X is a new vector boson Zd or pseudoscalar a with mass between 1 and 60 GeV. The search uses pp collision data
In the process of object-based change detection (OBCD), scale is a significant factor related to extraction and analyses of subsequent change data. To address this problem, this paper describes an object-based approach to urban area change detection (CD) using rotation forest (RoF) and coarse-to-fine uncertainty analyses of multi-temporal high-resolution remote sensing images. First, highly homoge
Neuroblastoma is a neural crest-derived childhood tumor of the peripheral nervous system in which MycN amplification is a hallmark of poor prognosis. Here we show that MycN is expressed together with phosphorylation-stabilizing factor CIP2A in regions of the neural plate destined to form the CNS, but MycN is excluded from the neighboring neural crest stem cell domain. Interestingly, ectopic expres
