Dödligt skolvåld är idag ett aktuellt fenomen i Sverige, som tidigare har haft ett fåtal fall. En stor del av forskningen har dock bedrivits i USA, vilket innebär att det föreligger en forskningslucka i den svenska kontexten. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka dödligt skolvåld i Sverige genom att analysera hur media framställer skolattentatet på Malmö Latinskola 2022 och hur denna framställn

This thesis investigates the application of reinforcement learning (RL) to the problem of hedging Credit Valuation Adjustment (CVA), a key component of counterparty credit risk in over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. While prior studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RL in hedging simple financial instruments, this work extends the literature by exploring whether RL, specifically the Proxim

This paper examines the effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on economic growth in nine European countries. The countries are divided into primary neighbours (directly bordering Ukraine) and secondary neighbours (geographically close but not sharing a border). Using data from 1996 to 2023, 18 country-by-country regressions have been conducted as well as two panel data regressions to test th

Authors: Ellinor Lantz & Linn Modée This thesis has been a complete collaboration between the two authors. Each author has been involved in every part of the process and contributed equally. Supervisors: Ebba Eriksson Ahre, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Angela van der Sluijs, Head of Transport SMS Logistics, Sandvik Problem description: Scope 3 fr

Intimate partner violence is a serious societal issue with far-reaching consequences for women's health, safety, and overall life conditions. This study explores how women who have experienced violence in heterosexual relationships describe their journey toward leaving their abusive partners. By analyzing five autobiographical narratives written by Swedish women, the study seeks to uncover emo

This thesis, developed within the Master of Science in Digital Architecture and Emergent Futures, investigates how an informed and conscious architectural design can contribute to a circular construction model by rethinking the role of reclaimed materials -concrete rubble for the purposed scenario- in the design and building process. The motivation comes from the growing urgency to reduce embodied

This study aimed to explore how news media in Sweden portray women and men involved in gang crime, along with highlighting their differences and similarities in descriptions. The study was based on qualitative content analysis of 75 articles published in Sydsvenskan and Helsingborgs Dagblad, whereas 36 articles described women involved in gang crime and 39 articles described men involved in gang c

This project is essentially an extension of the Wikihouse Skylark construction library. However, it is extended through the lens of value reproduction within an open system—by extracting the fundamental logic and information of the original system and identifying its most basic meta-information. Based on this meta-information, new components are developed that remain compatible with other elements

Given the current societal and political developments in Germany, the visibility and integration of-marginalized is essential to ensure their inclusion in mainstream society. One way of encouraging-contact between majority and marginalized groups is through building social networks, of which-informal and nonformal educational activities play an important part. This thesis examines the-experience o

Forskning inom området våld i nära relationer fokuserar nästan uteslutande på kvinnor som offer och män som förövare. Kunskapsläget kring kvinnors våld mot män är emellertid näst intill obefintligt. Aktuell studie ämnar därför undersöka hur genus konstrueras i tingsrättsdomar om våld i nära relationer. Mer specifikt våld i heterosexuella parrelationer, med manliga och kvinnliga gärningspersoner. S

This study aims to explore how professionals working with preventive social work reason regarding the understanding of the term preventive social work. Furthermore, the study looked into how current discourses were presented by the social workers. In addition, we also aimed to explore the potential benefits and challenges associated with preventive social work. This was examined in light of the ne

Albert Einstein revolutionerade mänsklighetens förståelse av universum när han 1915 skapade den allmänna relativitetsteorin som kombinerar de rumsliga dimensionerna med tiden till en dynamisk rumtid. Massiva objekt kröker rumtiden omkring sig själva, precis som du tynger ner en studsmatta när du står i mitten. Isaac Newton beskrev tidigare gravitationen som en kraft, men Einstein menade att gravitIn this thesis, the collapse of dust in a spherically symmetric inhomogeneous universe is studied. This is done using the well-known Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi model for a pressureless perfect fluid. The dynamics of the collapse are determined by the solutions to the field equations and the Misner-Sharp equation of motion, and some initial conditions are assumed in order to fix remaining degrees of fre

Psykisk ohälsa har under flera årtionden präglat samhället på många olika sätt. I en rapport gjord av BRÅ (2020) visades det att i relation till dödligt våld är det fyra av tio gärningspersoner som haft kontakt med psykiatrisk vård ett år innan de begått ett brott i Sverige. Flera studier utomlands har beskrivit psykisk ohälsa i relation till våld och hur det hanteras och förebyggs, men i Sverige

Physics-informed neural networks integrate physical laws into machine learning models to solve differential equations. This thesis investigates an inverse physics-informed neural network framework for estimating viscosity in Tetra Pak’s injection molding process, where direct measurements are not possible. By enforcing the Navier-Stokes equations and using sparse velocity and pressure data, a virt

Forskningsfråga: Hur uppfattar unga vuxna en normbrytande tonalitet ifrån varumärken på sociala medier? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att förstå hur kommunikationen uppfattas och vilka reaktioner unga vuxna får, samt vilka följder som konsumtion och image det får. Metod: Kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med unga vuxna (18-25 år), kompletterad med utvalda inlägg från DuolingResearch question: How do young adults perceive a norm-breaking tone of voice from brands on social media? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to understand how the communication is perceived, what reactions it evokes from young adults, as well as what consequences it has for consumption and brand image. Methodology: A qualitative method in the form of semi-structured interviews with young adul

The empirical prediction of outcomes in competitive sports, particularly basketball, remains a complex challenge due to inherent game variability and the difficulty in discerning replicable strategic adaptations from random fluctuations, especially in the case of unexpected results ("upsets"). This thesis addresses this by introducing and evaluating novel features designed to enhance the

In today's day and age, the media has grown to become a central part of our lives. People can now communicate anonymously and without any boundaries. Though this opens many opportunities, it can additionally contribute to an online climate that results in various problematic outcomes, one being violence against women. Online forums are one arena where users can anonymously discuss subjects tha

International mobility programs have long served as tools to achieve economic and diplomatic objectives. In alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there is an increasing emphasis on scholarship programs and education as means to build capacity and reduce poverty. The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) reflects this shift through several bilateral resea

This study investigates the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Swedish music industry, emphasizing the issues it presents to copyright law. As AI technologies progressively enable the automated generation of musical content, enduring legal principles such as authorship, ownership, and ethical rights are being questioned in ways that conventional copyright framewo

This study aims to map the extent of automation in the processing of social assistance in Swedish municipalities and examine whether client satisfaction differs between municipalities with and without automation. A quantitative method was used, drawing on secondary data from the National Board of Health and Welfare and Kolada, where client survey results from the Swedish Association of Local Autho
