Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa inom byggbranschen är ett växande problem som påverkar både arbetsgivare och medarbetare, men framför allt skapar det ett stort lidande för den enskilde. Trots arbetets betydelse för hälsa och välbefinnande är kunskapen begränsad om hur arbetsrelaterade faktorer samspelar och inverkar på psykisk ohälsa. Syfte: Att sammanställa vetenskaplig litteratur som beskriver arbets
This bachelor's thesis examined the use of the German relative pronouns "was" and "das" in contemporary German. The focus was to examine how in modern German the relative pronoun "das" is used instead of "was" in sentences in which "was" according to German grammar is the correct relative pronoun. The focus was on relative clauses for the two a
In Rwanda, the major source of drinking water is surface water, however, the water is heavily polluted by sediments and high turbidity caused by soil erosion. This study aimed to identify temporal and spatial patterns of turbidity along the Mwange- and Nyabugogo rivers in Nyabugogo catchment, Rwanda, and to suggest areas of priority for soil erosion mitigation measures. The research was based on t
Supplier performance has become increasingly important for industrial companies as suppliers play acriticalroleinoperationalefficiency,deliveryreliability,andlong-termcompetitiveness.

Ett problem med parkeringsapplikationer är att användare ofta glömmer att avsluta aktiva parkeringssessioner, vilket leder till överbetalning. Denna uppsats designar och utvärderar automatisk avslutning av parkering på ett sätt som minskar överbetalning samtidigt som användarnas tillit och kontroll bevaras, samt utvärderar resultatet. Projektet resulterade i en testapplikation för iOS med en automA problem with parking applications is that users often forget to end active parking sessions, which leads to overpayment. This thesis designs and implements automatic parking termination in a way that reduces overpayment, while preserving user trust and control, as well as evaluating the results. The project resulted in an iOS test application with an automatic termination feature called AutoStop
Detta kandidatarbete undersöker hur utformningen av en produkt kan förenkla vardagshandling och minska beroendet av bil vid inköp av dagligvaror. Arbetet tar sin utgångspunkt i en målgrupp som lever utan bil, ofta i mindre bostäder, och som upplever svårigheter med att integrera spontana eller nödvändiga inköp i en tidspressad vardag mellan jobb, skola och aktiviteter. Syftet har varit att utvecklThis bachelor’s thesis examines how the design of a product can simplify everyday grocery shopping and reduce car dependency. The project focuses on a target group that lives without a car, often in smaller apartments, and faces challenges integrating spontaneous or necessary purchases into a time-pressed daily schedule of work, school, and activities. The aim has been to develop an aid that facil
In recent years, global supply chains have become increasingly exposed to disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, wars, and other external uncertainties. At ASSA ABLOY's Business Segment Pedestrian (BSP), this has led to a need to reassess the current sourcing strategy, particularly within inbound logistics, where a strong dependence on a limited number of sourcing locations has created v
Detta examensarbete undersöker potentialen och begränsningarna för lokal eldelning i småhusområden genom att analysera sambandet mellan lokal solcellsproduktion och elkonsumtion i befintliga lågspänningsnät på landsbygden. Studien baseras på kvartsupplöst mätdata från E.ON Energidistribution från år 2025, med konsumtions- och produktionsdata från enskilda hushåll och fem nätstationer.

The study is based on quarter-hour resolution measurement data from 2025 provided by E.ON, including consumption and production data fr
In Sweden every property unit needs to go through a suitability judgement when subdivided or amended. The judgement asks whether the property unit is suitable for its intended use regarding how the property unit´s boundary is drawn. What constitutes a suitable property unit is well established for most types of uses. This is not the case for property units with a dam on them, so called dam-propert
Gender tests in sports have become increasingly popular amongst sports gov-erning bodies. Even the International Olympic Committee only recently, in March 2026, introduced a new rule requiring female athletes to undergo ge-netic testing to be allowed to compete in the female category. This article ex-amines gender testing in sport and the question of whether these regulations violate the human rig
Conventional monoclonal antibodies that function via occupancy-based inhibition often fall short due to drug resistance and non-enzymatic scaffolding functions that persist despite successful inhibition of the target protein. Antibody-based proteolysis targeting chimeras (AbTACs) utilize a novel event-driven modality allowing for specific degradation of the target protein. This study investigated
The purpose of this study was to investigate social workers’ competence, use of, and attitudes towards artificial intelligence (AI) within social work services, with a focus on identifying how AI affects the professional role. The reason we wish to research this subject is that artificial intelligence has become increasingly relevant in society and may come to influence social work in various ways
This project addresses the challenge of designing for permanence within a heavily gentrified and tourist-driven environment. It responds directly to local housing needs while integrating small-scale tourism and establishing clear spatial boundaries to safeguard local biodiversity. While housing constitutes the central focus of the proposal, the project also argues that permanence cannot be secur
