Psykisk ohälsa klassas idag som ett av de stora folkhälsoproblemen och det har gradvis skett en kraftig ökning av den andel som söker vård (OECD, 2015). Tillgången till psykologisk behandling är idag begränsad till följd av bristen på kvalificerad personal inom området. Individuell terapi är kostsam för den skattefinansierade sjukvården, vilket framhäver betydelsen av gruppterapi som en kostnadsefMental health remains a major public health concern, with a notable rise in treatment-seeking individuals (OECD, 2015). However, limited access to psychological interventions persists due to a shortage of qualified professionals. Given the excessive cost of individual therapy within publicly funded healthcare systems, the focus on cost-effect group therapy becomes imperative (Sundquist et al., 201
To achieve established climate objectives, Sweden must effectively target its carbon-intensive steel industry. This study offers a social perspective on the Swedish steel industry's decarbonization, exploring how workers’ identities shape their experience of the transition. Social identity theory is utilised to explore what elements shape steelworkers’ collective and occupational identities in
Intergenerationella trauma, hur tidigare generationers traumatiska upplevelser påverkar nästkommande generationerna, har blivit ett växande intresseområde för olika discipliner och är relevant för psykoterapeuter. Följande studies syfte var att undersöka psykodynamiskt inriktade psykoterapeuters förståelse och arbete med intergenerationella trauman utifrån en kvalitativ ansats. I studien redovisasIntergenerational trauma, how previous generations traumatic experiences effect the coming generations, has become an increasing area of interest for different disciplines and is relevant for psychotherapists. The aim of this study was to explore psychodynamic oriented psychotherapists understanding and work with intergenerational trauma within a qualitative framework. Five psychotherapists experi
Magnesium alloys are promising candidates for biomedical implants due to their ability to dissolve in the human body, which improves the surgical procedures making a secondary surgery to remove the implant unnecessary. However, one of the main challenges magnesium alloys faces in terms of an implant is their inferior strength compared to such permanent implant materials as stainless steel and tita
This thesis investigates the Hong Kong government’s discursive framing of the 2019-2020 protests. By applying the Copenhagen School’s securitization theory on a previously untested case, it finds that the Hong Kong government framed the protests as violent, colluding with foreign actors, and with aims to cause harm. Through this portrayal, the government claimed the Hong Kong society needed defend

This study investigates the performance dynamics of Swedish mutual funds, with a particular focus on the impact of active management, as measured by tracking error, on risk-adjusted returns (Sharpe ratio). The findings reveal a consistent negative correlation between tracking error and Sharpe ratio, indicating that higher levels of active management are associated with poorer performance relative

The study is made using a quantitative method with a deductive approach. The methodical procedure is based on a matching process, followed by a t-test and cross-section regression. The empirical find
Transitioning away from fossil fuels is prominent to stay within the 1.5-degree limit outlined in the Paris Agreement. For this to occur, the socio-technical energy system needs to become more flexible and support decentralized systems. One way to do this, as advocated by the European Union as well, is to support local energy initiatives. This paper examines how different local energy initiatives
As the problem of memory-safety continues to pose a significant threat to the software ecosystem, developers need to consider strategies to address these vul- nerabilities. For high-performing applications built on the C/C++ programming languages, solutions have to be easy to adapt without compromising too much on performance. In this thesis, high-performing 5G software is evaluated using the CHER
In response to escalating public health challenges, particularly concerning mental health issues among youth, manual-based interventions have gained prominence in Sweden. These interventions are increasingly seen as integral components of proactive measures to address the escalating rates of mental illness. This study focuses on the implementation of the evidence-based program Youth Awareness of M
