Population aging and labor market variables exacerbate the labor shortage in the Long-term care (LTC) sector in many European countries. In Sweden, existing strategies to manage this issue are questioned. This paper investigates an alternative solution: civilian service, inspired by Austria and Germany, where civilian service complements military service and allows civilian servants to work in the

Significant advancements in audio transport, encoding, and processing power in embedded systems constitute the foundation of today’s speakers. Transitioning the digitalized audio data transmission to Audio over IP (AoIP) has opened the potential to transmit audio with the same network flexibility as other services using packet-based networks, such as voice over IP or video over IP. This thesis pri

The growing popularity of Extended Reality (XR) attracts new people to enter the field. However, novices face challenges at the beginning of their journeys. Previous studies have identified the key difficulties based on real-world evidence and found that the barriers to entry were high. This thesis aims to guide novice XR practitioners in overcoming these challenges. To achieve this, empirical in

Studies show that urban highways play a vital role in facilitating transportation within metropolitan areas, yet they often come with significant drawbacks, including physical barriers, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In Sweden, where the transport sector is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, the city of Gothenburg stands as a prime example of these challenges. Located a

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, and it is linked with aggregation of α-synuclein protein. PD can be diagnosed using real-time quaking induced conversion (RT-QuIC) assay. RT-QuIC, despite its effectiveness, is not really understood in terms of the mechanisms driving it. Aim(s): The aim of the project was to reproduce RT-QuIC protocol develop

When using measurement equipment, it is not only important to use the right equipment for the job, but to also make sure that it is measuring correctly. Electronic devices, as well as mechanical devices, all deteriorate over time. This leads to a need for calibration at a regular interval. By calibrating a measurement device by comparing its measurements to a verified reference device, it is possi

This study aimed to research the phenomenon of contact tracing of sexually transmitted infections through the perspective of healthcare social workers. The research questions were what competencies could contribute to a satisfactory contact tracing and whether these competencies corresponded to those the health care social worker typically has. This was researched using a qualitative research meth

När ljus med tillräckligt hög energi träffar ett material kan en elektron frigöras från materialet. Detta beskrevs av Einstein i början av 1900-talet som den fotoelektriska effekten. Genom att mäta rörelseenergin hos de frigjorda elektronerna, eller fotoelektronerna, kan man avgöra egenskaper hos olika material. Dessa mätmetoder baseras på att fotoelektronen är en partikel, men den är också ett Today's gold standard for measuring the quantum state of a given quantum mechanical system is quantum state tomography. By preparing many identical states and performing projective measurements on them, their quantum state, described by the density matrix, can be reconstructed. A protocol called Kvanttillstånds-tomogRafi av AttoseKund-ElektroNvågpaket (KRAKEN) has been developed to perform qua

Det är av stor betydelse att förstå hur kommuner hanterar markanvisningsprocessen, vilka krav de ställer vid tilldelning av markanvisningar och hur dessa krav följs upp och genomförs i praktiken. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka hur Sveriges kommuner når sina mål och ambitioner inom samhällsbyggnad genom verktyget markanvisning. Examensarbetet syftar även till att ge en djupare inblick iThe purpose of the paper is to investigate how Sweden's municipalities achieve their goals and ambitions in community building through the tool of land allocation. The thesis also aims to provide a deeper insight into how Sweden's municipalities work with the land allocation process. The thesis investigates the following questions: • What is the municipality's ambition with land alloca

This study investigates the use of sequential UAV (Unmanned Airborne Vehicle) imagery and deep learning for crop yield predictions. Accurate crop yield predictions are crucial for mitigating food shortages and making informed agricultural decisions. This research uses different sequence lengths of UAV images across five wavelength bands to model winter wheat, spring wheat, and barley crop yield in

Uppsatsen syftar till att analysera hur partier i Sveriges riksdag år 2022 debatterade kring lagförslaget om en ny utlandsspionerilag i Sverige. Relevansen av denna undersökning motiveras med bakgrund mot den globala trend som visats ske på internationell nivå angående att stater och aktörer med liknande makt begränsar yttrande- och pressfrihet. Med detta som bas och ramverk diskuteras dessutom viPress and freedom of expression in Sweden in relation to the new Foreign Espionage Act - When human rights risk becoming negotiable. The essay aims to analyze how parties in Sweden's Parliament in 2022 debated the bill for a new foreign espionage law in Sweden. The relevance of this analysis is justified against the background of the global trend that has been shown to take place at the inter

Human activities accelerate climate variations which cause effects all over the world. The IPCC's Sixth Assessment report, which was released in 2021, shows that human activities have already warmed up the planet significantly. The report reveal that the climate has already increased by approximately 1.1 °C since the period 1850-1900 and the average temperature is predicted to exceed 1.5 °C wi

This research study centers on co-exploring experiences and nuanced meanings of dignity and forceful journeys with Knowledge Holders. The study departs from the problematization of legal labels of "Forced Migration," (FM) such as the 'refugee', the 'asylum seeker' or the 'migrant' and the stigma they impose on people's life experiences. Paying close attentio
