Rasism är ett fenomen som tycks ha förmåga att byta skepnad och anpassa sig till rådande omständigheter. Det behöver därför ständigt motarbetas för att minimera utanförskap och lidande. Problematiken drivs dock av starka underliggande psykologiska mekanismer som har visat sig mycket svåra att motarbeta. Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva dRacism is a phenomenon that seems to be able to shift shape and adjust to current circumstances. Therefore, it needs to be battled at all times to minimize exclusion and suffering. Furthermore, it is driven by underlying psychological mechanisms that have proven very difficult to counteract. A plethora of methods have been developed with the aim of reducing prejudice, which is considered the affec

This is a documentation of a bachelor examination project called “PORT:ABLE” done by Dominik Garstka.

Shoes today regularly use glue to hold the parts together, this makes it hard to restore the shoe when needed. So, instead of repairing the used shoe we buy new ones once it gets a little worn or tattered, even though the majority of the shoe is in good condition. My product has been developed by the principle of design for disassembly, to easily take it apart and recycle it. The modularit

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical

Inom Sveriges gränser har Svenska kyrkan inte behövt bedriva någon mission på det sätt som man har bedrivit den i andra länder. Fram till 1951 då lagen om religionsfrihet infördes i Sverige, var de som begärde utträde ur Svenska kyrkan tvungen att inträda i ett av staten annat godkänt samfund. Så kom sekulariseringen kyrkan skildes från staten och med det, det fria valet att tillhöra det samfund s

De senaste åren har flera straffskärpningar gjorts inom lagstiftningen, inte minst för unga lagöverträdare. Den här studien syftar till att analysera de möj-liga konsekvenser på samhället och påföljdssystemet som ett förslag på såd-ana straffskärpningar gällande unga myndiga i åldern 18-20 år, kan ge. Betän-kandet 2018:85 Slopad straffrabatt för unga myndiga ligger till grund för denna studie. DetIn the last few years there has been several increases in the severity of pun-ishment within the Swedish legal system. This is especially true for the legis-lation concerning young offenders. This study aims to analyze the possible consequences on the society and the penalty system that a proposal for such increased penalties can have on young adults aged 18-20 years.

This paper analyses the pivotal gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley through a close queer reading, focusing on excerpts featuring the artificially created creature and their maker, Victor Frankenstein.

Purpose: To explore the reasoning and descr

I Sverige är straffbarhetsåldern 15 år vilket innebär att barn under 15 år kan begå brott men inte lagföras. En förundersökning kan då inte inledas. I stället kan en så kallad § 31 – utredning inledas vid de grövsta våldsbrotten. Till skillnad från vid en förundersökning saknas det idag rättsliga förutsättningar för målsägande att få juridiskt biträde vid en § 31 – utredningen. I utredningen ”FörbIn Sweden, the age of criminal responsibility is 15, which means that children under 15 can commit crimes but not be prosecuted. When this happens, a preliminary investigation, should not be held, but a so-called § 31 investigation can be held for the most severe crimes of violence.

The purpose of this study is to investigate Machine Learning methods and their ability to learn the development of nonlinear unstable flame fronts due to diffusive-thermal instabilities. This task is performed by first numerically computing long time-sequences of solutions to the chaotic partial differential equation named Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation which models such instabilities in a flame fr
