As the amount of high dimensional data becomes increasingly accessible and common, the need for reliable methods to combat problems such as overfitting and multicollinearity increases. Models need to be able to manage large data sets where predictor variables often outnumber the amount of observations. In this study the frequentist and Bayesian framework is tested against each other based on three

In 2017 the Swedish government issued an official report containing proposed changes to the compulsory care legislation to strengthen the child rights perspective and provide extended knowledge to the workers within psychiatry. The aim of this study was therefore to examine the reasoning regarding the proposed changes in the comment letters following the official report of the Swedish government:

This study aimed to examine the mental health of students at the School of Social Work at Lund University and see how it connects to the use of student health resources offered by the university. This study was based on a digital survey that had been sent out to social work students at Lund University. The data we collected was analyzed with George Engel’s biopsychosocial model. The results of our

Ett av de viktigaste målen inom experimentell fysik, om inte det viktigaste, är att utföra precisa mätningar för att nå bästa möjliga resultat. Inom högenergifysik görs mätningarna med hjälp av specialbyggda detektorer som bland annat finns vid världens största partikelaccelerator the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Vid LHC utförs flera experiment och ett av dessa är A Large Ion Collider Experiment This thesis deals with the physics performance of an approved inner tracker upgrade of the ALICE experiment involving a novel and ultra-thin silicon detector with a cylindrical geometry. During the thesis work, a method was developed in simulations to induce distortions to the detector’s geometry, and the resulting loss in physics performance was evaluated. A strategy was also developed to be able

Our study aimed to, through a qualitative content analysis, understand how violence manifests among young women aged 16-25 in their romantic relationships, as well as how violence affects their social lives. By listening to six podcasts, watching three short film clips, and reading three written texts, we have gained insights into personal stories from young women's own experiences of violence

Följande uppsats behandlar det svenska ridsportförbundet och vilka rättssäkerhetsprinciper som appliceras i dess beslut. För att få en bättre helhetsbild av vad rättssäkerhet innebär så kommer det inledningsvis att redogöras för de svenska rättssäkerhetsprinciper som appliceras i en domstol, för att sedan besvara uppsatsens syfte med hjälp av det material som framlagts. Ridsports världen har tidigThe following essay deals with the Swedish Equestrian Federation and the legal principles of due process applied in its decisions. To gain a better understanding of what due process entails, the essay will initially outline the Swedish due process principles applied in a court of law. Subsequently, the essay will address the purpose by utilizing the presented material. The equestrian world has pre

Möjligheten att beviljas uppehållstillstånd på grund av anknytning har sedan länge varit möjligt enligt det svenska regelverket. Systemets baksida är att den anhöriges uppehållstillstånd är beroende av anknytningspersonen varför en inlåsningseffekt kan uppstå vid våldsutsatthet. Som i ett försök att mildra reg-lernas negativa följder har lagstiftaren infört en skyddsregel som möjliggör att fortsatThe possibility of being granted a residence permit on the basis of affiliation has long been possible under Swedish legislation. The downside of the sys-tem is that the family member's residence permit is dependent on the person to which he/she are affiliated with, so a lock-in effect can arise in cases of vio-lence. In an attempt to mitigate the negative consequences of the regulation, the l

The purpose of this study was to examine drug availability and social risk- and safety factors regarding adolescents' drug use. The method used for this study was a survey, with 140 students from Helsingborg's high schools as respondents, allowing a quantitative analysis. The theory used in this study was Albert Bandura's social learning theory. Previous research shows that there are s

Syftet med uppsatsen var att studera lycka och tillit till rättsväsendet. När jag införde en politisk nationalistisk dimension i min modell fick jag andra resultat än aktuell forskning. I senaste NTU 2023 uppvisar exempelvis kvinnor högre tillit till rättsväsendet än män. Relationen blev den omvända i min studie. När variabeln nationell tilltro togs med i modellen ökade denna tendens ytterligare,

This research explores the interplay between strategic communication and legitimacy in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping missions, focusing on the United Nations Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUSCO) and addresses the challenge of maintaining and establishing legitimacy through strategic communication during crises. The study specifically investigates the use of strate

Studien identifierar och analyserar sambandet mellan intern employer branding (IEB), transformativt ledarskap och Social Exchange Theory (SET), samt hur dessa arbetar för att öka medarbetarnas engagemang inom en organisation som arbetar med rekrytering och bemanning. Studien grundar sig på en kvalitativ forskningsansats, med insamlad data från semistrukturerade intervjuer med både medarbetare och

Avfallshanteringen har genom tiderna bestått av mycket deponering där allt avfall som uppstod slängdes i naturen utan adekvata skyddsåtgärder, vilket idag utgör förorenade områden. Ett förorenat område kan medföra skada eller olägenheter för människors hälsa och miljö. Sverige har flera mål för att skapa en hållbar utveckling, ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö där det ingår att åtgärda förorenade områThroughout history, waste management has consisted of a lot of landfilling, where all the waste generated is being disposed of in the environment without adequate protective measures. These areas constitute contaminated areas today. A contaminated area can cause damage or inconvenience to human health and the environment. Sweden has several goals to create sustainable development, one of these is
