This paper is a study in the field of urban planning and climate adaptation measures in the City of Stockholm (Stockholms stad). It explores the questions of what kinds of climate adaptation the city implements and how climate adaptation can be discussed in terms of resilience and green growth. These questions have been examined through a combination of qualitative methods – a document analysis co
This paper studies the connection between socioeconomic status and access to green areas in Malmö. The research questions which have been formulated are: To what extent does socioeconomic status affect access to green areas? How does Malmö stad work with socioeconomic status? How does Malmö stad work with access to green space? To answer the research questions, two different aspects of theoretical
I ljuset av den forskning som har konstaterat att människor som har genomgått viktoperation mår betydligt fysiskt och psykiskt bättre efter viktoperation, saknas nyansering av hur de olika personerna har upplevt sina kroppar och sig själva lång tid efter viktoperationen. Denna kvalitativa studie syftade att undersöka viktopererades kroppsuppfattning och självkänsla mer än tio år efter viktoperatioPrevious research on bariatric surgery patients has mainly focused on reporting considerable improvement of their physical and psychological health. However, a more nuanced and complex long-term perspective of how different people experience themselves and their bodies postoperatively has been lacking. This qualitative study aimed to investigate body image and self-esteem of bariatric surgery pati
The concept of sustainable development has been widely spread and practiced within urban planning. However there is no easy answer to how to define and create social sustainability. Therefore four categories that indicate social sustainability have been used to study the phenomenon. These are: Safety Meeting places Participation in the planning process Green areas The purpose of this study is to e
An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical
En myra som lever på en sfär kan förflytta sig i två dimensioner, framlänges och i sidled. Utan några kunskaper om den globala topologin av myrans värld, så kan den inte urskilja om den lever på en sfär eller i det tvådimensionella talplanet. På ett liknande sätt kan man inom matematiken formalisera en abstrakt topologisk yta som lokalt har samma egenskaper som det komplexa talplanet: En så kalladIn this bachelor's thesis we provide a self contained proof of the Uniformization Theorem. It states that a simply connected Riemann surface is conformally equivalent to either the complex plane C, the unit disk D, or the Riemann sphere C^*. The proof given in this thesis is purely analytic and is based on the construction of Green's function and bipolar Green's function of a Riemann s
The cumulative growth that the market of automobiles has seen since the end of the second world war, has had a major impact on both the way we plan our societies and in the way we live our lives. In Sweden from 1950 to 1960, car-ownership increased five-fold, making it the most car-dense country in Europe at the time – bringing along with it major car-centric urban renewal schemes, such as ‘Norrma
Köp av sexuella tjänster har sedan 1999 varit förbjudet i Sverige. I samband med att förbudet skulle införas föreslogs att både köp och försäljning av sexuella tjänster skulle förbjudas, men efter omfattande kritik var det enbart köp som slutligen kriminaliserades. Kritiken grundades till stor del på att säljaren ofta utnyttjades av köparen och befann sig i en utsatt position vid sexköp. År 2018 Purchase of sexual services has been illegal in Sweden since 1999. Prior to the criminalization, it was suggested that both purchase and sale of sexual services should be criminalized, but after extensive criticism, only purchase was ultimately made illegal. The criticism was largely based on the fact that the seller often was exploited by the buyer and in a vulnerable position during purchase of
Den i folkrätten vedertagna definitionen av jus cogens är att normerna är universella och tvingande med syfte att skydda vissa grundläggande värderingar. Det pågår emellertid en diskussion i den folkrättsliga doktrinen kring huruvida normer av sådan karaktär kan existera även i en uteslutande regional kontext, och rättighets- och skyldighetskatalogen i Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskJus cogens, as established by international law, is defined as universal and peremptory norms with the objective of protecting certain fundamental values. There is, however, an ongoing debate in the international legal discourse as to whether norms of peremptory nature can exist in an exclusively regional context, and the rights and obligations in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) hav
I denna avhandling undersöker vi möjligheten att använda Siamesiska Neurala Nätverk för att detektera röstförändringar bland patienter som lider av återkommande stämbandscancer. I samarbete med VoiceDiagnostic Sweden AB och läkare vid Lunds Universitetssjukhus konstruerades modeller för att mäta avstånd mellan olika röstinspelningar, samt avstånd mellan mindre segment av röstinspelningar. De resulIn this thesis, we investigate the possibility of using Siamese Neural Networks to detect voice changes in the voices of patients su↵ering from a recurrence of their vocal cord cancer. In collaboration with VoiceDiagnostic Sweden AB and physicians at Lunds’s University Hospital, models were trained on audio features in order to learn distance measures between recordings, and segments of recordings
This thesis aims to bring a greater understanding of the normalization of right-wing populism by analysing the immigration discourse of Donald Trump and the way he speaks about building the Wall against Mexico. In this study, three different transcripts of his speeches are analysed with a critical discourse theory and the right- wing theoretical framework of Ruth Wodak. These methodological and th
Uppsatsen behandlar tillämpningen av principen om tvivelsmålets fördel i den svenska migrationsrätten. Den innehåller även ett komparativt element då den ämnar jämföra den svenska appliceringen av principen med den som används i Storbritannien. Uppsatsen inleds med ett introducerande kapitel där det svenska migrationsrättsliga systemet i allmänhet beskrivs kortfattat. Efter det förs en diskussion This essay examines the application of the principle of the benefit of the doubt in asylum law. The primary focus is on the Swedish application of the principle of the benefit of the doubt. It also has a comparative element as it compares how Sweden apply the principle of the benefit of the doubt with the application within the United Kingdom. The essay starts with an introduction to the Swedish a
Det nuvarande substantiella testet i EUs regim för koncentrationskontroll infördes år 2004 i syfte att täcka koncentrationer mellan företag som påtagligt skulle hämma den effektiva konkurrensen på marknaden utan att skapa eller förstärka en dominant position. Koncentrationer som ger upphov till sådana så kallade icke-samordnade effekter uppkommer typiskt sett på oligopolmarknader, varför den uppleThe existing substantive test in EU merger control was adopted in 2004 with the aim of covering concentrations between undertakings which would significantly impede effective competition in the market without creating or strengthening a dominant position. Concentrations giving rise to such so- called unilateral effects typically take place in oligopolistic markets, which is why the perceived gap i
The social dimension of sustainability has received increased attention in recent years as its importance for sustainable development in urban environments has been recognized. In urban regions, where land available for development is limited, municipalities may find themselves planning for areas situated within their municipality border and jurisdiction but that might be in proximity of, or direc
Digitaliseringen har i stor utsträckning revolutionerat sättet som företagen gör affärer på. Det finns inte längre samma behov av fysiska platser för affärsverksamheter eftersom teknologin har skapat virtuella platser där företag kan sälja både varor och tjänster utan att överhuvudtaget sätta en fot i jurisdiktionen. Emellertid har reglerna om fast driftställe alltsedan 1920-talet präglats av att The digitalisation has largely revolutionized the way companies do business. There is no longer the same need for physical locations for businesses for the reason that technology has created virtual locations where companies can sell both goods and services without even setting foot in the jurisdiction. However, the rules on permanent establishment have, ever since the 1920’s, been characterized b
Den svenska straffprocessen bygger på principen om fri bevisprövning, enligt vilken det inte ska finnas några rättsliga begränsningar av vilken bevisning som får läggas fram eller normer för hur denna ska värderas. Principen omfattar även bevisning som åtkommits på ett sätt som strider mot någon lag eller rättighet. Det finns dock situationer där användningen av sådan bevisning kränker rätten tillSwedish criminal procedure is based on the principle that there should be no legal limitations on the admissibility of evidence and no rules governing the evaluation of evidence. The principle equally covers evidence obtained illegally. There are, however, cases where the use of such evidence violates the right to a fair trial as guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. For this reas
The aim of this paper is to discuss and explore how cultural ecosystem services are identified and valued within a Swedish municipal urban planning context, which services are specifically of interest and how the identification and valuation are used. The paper will analyze identification tools provided by public organizations and consultants. For this purpose, literature and research within the s
Användningen av DNA-släktforskningsdatabaser i brottsutredande syfte är en nyfunnen utredningsmetod för svensk brottsbekämpande verksamhet. Utredningsmetoden innebär att gärningsmän kan spåras genom jämförelser mellan DNA-spår från brottsplatser och uppgifter i kommersiella släktforskningsdatabaser. Metoden introducerades för första gången i Sverige år 2018 i samband med utredningen av ett av landThe use of genealogical databases in purposes of criminal investigation is a newfound method in Swedish law enforcement, meaning that a perpetrator can be traced and identified by searching the DNA profile found at a crime scene against DNA profiles in commercial genealogical databases. The method was introduced for the first time in Sweden in 2018, in connection with one of the country’s most com
This paper examines the state of public transportation in the swedish county of Scania during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through travel statistics from the agency that runs the county’s transit network (Skånetrafiken) it is concluded that travel numbers have decreased dramatically during the pandemic. Two employees at Skånetrafiken are interviewed and asked about what measures the agency has taken dur
