Lifelong Learning (LLL) involves the formal and informal education and learning of individuals and by extension society in a bid to function efficiently in today’s knowledge world. This Learning is not limited by age, race, or other susceptible circumstances; it is instead encouraged and seen in the contexts of adult learning, continuing learning, and work/ professional learning. By de-facto, it i

This study aims to investigate how social workers within housing accommodation work with the Staircase model and Housing First model to support homeless substance abuse clients on their way out of homelessness. My focus was to compare these two housing models with each other within the city of Helsingborg and investigate how the social workers experienced how the Staircase model and Housing First

In order to transform the fossil fuel dependent transport sector the promotion of biofuels has been crucial in the European Union’s transition towards climate neutrality. To ensure the sustainability of biofuels the European Commission published a Delegated Act on March 13th 2019, proposing the gradual phase-out of high emitting biofuels that may cause indirect land use change (ILUC) – one of them

The Light Dark Matter Experiment (LDMX) is a fixed target experiment that will search for dark matter, but is still in the development phase. An important aspect for the experiment is the discrimination of signal and background events. Here this signal and background discrimination is inspected using a machine learning technique called a Boosted Decision Tree (BDT). This is done using Monte Carlo

The foreign exchange (FX) market is today the world’s broadest, most active, financial market. One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points. The ability of this technique has, as far as we know, never been rigorously evaluated. In collaboration with the Malmö-based hedge fu

The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves

Bakgrund: Detta projekt undersöker om det är möjligt att utveckla en kalibreringsmodell utifrån spektroskopiska mätningar i det nära infraröda (NIR) området, för bestämning av mängden och typen av fiberfraktioner i proteinpulver producerat från baljväxten alfalfa, utan att utföra våtexperiment. Alfalfa benämnas även Medicago sativa och lucerne, men kallas inom detta projekt alfalfa. En sådan typ aBackground: This project investigates if it is possible to develop a calibration model from near infrared (NIR) spectroscopic measurements, for determination of the amount and type of fibre fractions within protein powder produced from the legume alfalfa, without performing wet experiments. Alfalfa is also known as Medicago sativa and lucerne, but is in this project further referred to as alfalfa.

Cerebral Palsy (CP) has an impact on muscles and movement. This happens due to brain damage before the age of two years. Either sometimes before birth, during childbirth or after birth. According to hjarnfonden.se, 200 children are added annually in Sweden with CP. People living with CP have these weaknesses for the rest of their lives. CP is not progressive disorder, that means brain damage can’

Indoor air pollution is a problem of great concern, estimating to cause around 2 million premature deaths, with 400.000 cases suspected to happen in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this thesis, indoor air pollution emissions associated with the Ethiopian traditional coffee ceremony has been studied as a model for cooking exposure. Coffee preparation is a ceremony which is conducted in almost every Ethiopia

In a GIS system, the need to encode geospatial data without standardized cartographic representations, such as population data, weather information, etc., on top of a map is common. This can be done with a layer on top of a base map, with the effect that the base map is partially or fully hidden. Reducing the opacity (or its equivalent - increasing the transparency) of this overlay data layer is a

This thesis explores the transformative impact of social media platforms on communication and representation. More specifically, it investigates the themes of motherhood portrayed in the YouTube videos of Swedish party leaders and how these themes relate to the process of democratic representation. The research centers around former Center party leader Annie Lööf and the current Christian Democrat

Scientific summary: Ground settlement due to groundwater drainage during construction is important to be considered since ground settlement may cause severe building damages. The calculation of ground settlement contained several parameters with different magnitude of uncertainties. Thus a risk evaluation of ground settlement is necessary. The aim of this thesis was first to build a soil strata mo

In this study, opportunities for utilizing biogas produced from anaerobic digestion of different organic wastes as a vehicle fuel in South Korea have been investigated, using experiences from Sweden as a basis for analysis. Strategic governmental policies and financial support have enabled many municipalities in Sweden to successfully develop biogas/biomethane as a locally produced renewable fuel.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I dagens samhälle används diverse katalysatorer i många sammanhang för att påskynda kemiska reaktioner. Allt från produktion av ammoniak till rening av avgaser hjälps av olika katalysatorer. De katalysatorer som vi känner idag har tagits fram genom att testa olika materialkombinationer och utvecklingen har börjat stagnera. Enzymerna i våra kroppar är naturliga kA new instrument for near ambient x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations of surfaces has been installed at beamline I511 of the MAX-II electron storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory. This high pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument is capable of surface chemistry investigations in near ambient pressures using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a technique that tradition

Studiens syfte är att undersöka och diskutera vem som har makten över vad som publiceras i medierna, och hur andra aktörer kan påverka medieagendan. Genom att studera strategin bakom en PR-kampanj vill vi bredda kunskapen och öka förståelsen för denna makt i allmänhet och nyhetsvärdering i synnerhet. PR-kampanjer kan ses som en marknadsföringsstrategi som genom att vara uppseendeväckande skapar si

With increasing migration to urban areas, Kenya is a country in change with new and challenging problems. Nairobi has a high population growth but a far from equal socio-economic development. As Nairobi continues to grow, so do the slum areas within the city and the slum Kibera has grown to be one of the largest in Africa. Due to the large economic differences within Nairobi I suggest that some pe
