Abstract This qualitative study explores how Swedish evening newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen reported on former prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor during his scandal regarding allegations of sexual harassment and rape. Through thematic content analysis, using Liz Kelly’s (1988) feminist framework on violence as a continuum and Swedish conventional practices and rules regarding media ethics, th
Bakgrund: Kvinnlig könsstympning (FGM) är en kulturell sed som påverkar över 230 miljoner kvinnor världen över och är förbjuden i många länder, inklusive Sverige. Ingreppet saknar medicinska fördelar och kan leda till omfattande kort- och långsiktiga hälsokonsekvenser. I samband med förlossning kan FGM innebära ökade risker för obstetriska komplikationer och interventioner. Ett uppdaterat kunskaps
Denna uppsats undersöker huruvida Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) kan implementeras mot bakgrund av den tolkning och tillämpning av vinstsyftet som följer 3 kap. 3 § inom svensk aktiebolagsrätt (2005:551). Enligt aktiebolagslagen ska bolagsledningen handla i aktieägarnas ekonomiska intresse. Samtidigt ålägger direktivet företag att genomföra åtgärder som på kort sikt kan hThis thesis examines whether the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) can be implemented in the context of the interpretation and application of the profit maximization principle under Chapter 3, Section 3 of the Swedish Companies Act (2005:551). Under the Companies Act, corporate boards are mandated to act in the financial interest of shareholders, while the directive imposes
For a long time, alcohol has been an integrated social aspect of student life. Students’ relationships with alcohol can be highlighted by interpreting norms and other social factors related to alcohol consumption. This quantitative study focuses on understanding the connection between the use and consumption of alcohol within student culture in Sweden. Furthermore, how norms affect students and ho
The automation of floor plan interpretation and reconstruction is a key challenge in architectural visualization workflows, particularly when handling heterogeneous, real world data. This thesis project investigates the use of deep learning–based semantic segmentation combined with geometry-aware postprocessing to automate the extraction of structural elements from floor plan images. The work is m
Långvariga somatiska symtom som inte kan förklaras av somatisk patologi är vanliga inom primär- och specialistvård. Svårigheter med att kategorisera dessa tillstånd gör det svårt för patienter att hitta en effektiv behandling, bli validerade i sin upplevelse och att bli uppfattade som trovärdiga. Tidigare studier pekar på att symtomen uppstår i interaktionen mellan somatiska och psykiska processerPersistent somatic symptoms that cannot be explained by somatic pathology are common both in primary and specialist care. Challenges in categorizing these conditions create difficulties for patients in finding effective treatment, finding validation in their experience and being perceived as credible. Previous studies indicate that these symptoms develop in the interaction between somatic and psyc
Aktieägaravtal används i stor utsträckning för att reglera relationen mellan aktieägare i aktiebolag. Avtalen saknar dock uttrycklig lagreglering i svensk rätt och aktualiserar därför frågor om hur avtalsrättsliga principer förhåller sig till aktiebolagsrättens regler. I detta sammanhang behandlas både den aktiebolagsrättsliga och den avtalsrättsliga separationsprincipen. Särskilt uppkommer frågor
The school system has undergone changes over several decades as a result of national reforms and reorganizations. These changes have led to increased complexity in what the teaching role entails, and emotional labor and relationship-building have become a central part of teachers’ work. The aim of the study is to examine how primary school teachers relate to the demands and expectations that chara
Sex and social norms have always existed throughout human history, and are communicated through institutions such as schools, religion, and culture, making them an integral part of everyday life. However, this does not necessarily mean that we are aware of the different kinds of norms and sexuality. This study aims to explore the experiences of biology teachers in grades 7-9 who work in sexuality
Syftet med studien är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur behovsanställda upplever tillhörighet på arbetsplatsen. Uppsatsen avser att belysa de faktorer som betraktas mest väsentliga för denna upplevelse, samt att synliggöra hur organisationer, utifrån medarbetarnas erfarenheter, kan arbeta för att främja och stärka känslan av tillhörighet. Uppsatsen utgår från en kvalitativ metod med en hermeneutisk
The deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral region, from 200-400 nm, can reveal unique information about biological samples, where proteins and biomolecules exhibit distinct spectral signatures in this wavelength region. However, because of technical limitations, the absence of stable DUV light sources has left the research in this spectral range largely unexplored. Recent advancements in laser-driven pla
The purpose of this study was to examine and understand young people's expectations and perceptions of romantic relationships and their views on control and jealousy within them. The aim of this study was also to explore how young people understand control and jealousy in relation to psychological and digital violence. The study was based on a qualitative method, and seven semi-structured inte
This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and firm-level risk among publicly listed companies in the Nordic countries. While prior research suggests that ESG may reduce firm risk, evidence for the Nordic region remains limited despite its high sustainability standards. Using panel data on 380 firms from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finlan
Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system and show clinical heterogeneity across WHO grades. While grade 1 meningiomas are typically benign, grade 3 (anaplastic) meningiomas are rare, highly aggressive, and associated with poor prognosis. Current histopathological grading does not fully capture tumor biology, therefore molecular approaches are needed to better re
Care recipients living with dementia face an increased risk of being subjected to domestic violence. However, a 2024 report by the Swedish Agency for Gender Equality indicates that this issue is insufficiently recognized within health and care services. In light of this, our study examines how professionals in these services identify and respond to domestic violence against individuals with dement
This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
Rapid urbanisation has intensified socio-spatial inequalities in cities of the Global South, leading to the growth of informal settlements that remain excluded from formal planning systems. In India, this condition is increasingly evident in rapidly urbanising cities such as Coimbatore. This thesis investigates how sustainable urban design strategies can be employed to rehabilitate informal settle
This thesis investigates the ergotropy and usability of a certain quantum battery. The ergotropy is the maximum extractable energy of a cyclic process. First, the battery from a previous thesis is recreated and then this battery is investigated in terms of its ergotropy. The battery is proven to not only be charging but also have an equal increase in ergotropy, hence all of the charged energy is u
This thesis interrogates how the state-led “counterterrorism” and tourism-development discourses operate as complementary technologies of the state’s governance in Xinjiang. Drawing on Foucault’s power/knowledge and biopolitics theory, it examines how these discourses produce the “truth” of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, and how these “truths” jointly operate in facilitating the state’s governance agai
Trots en generell och tydlig minskning av ungdomsbrottsligheten sedan 1990-talet har ungdomsbrottslighet och framförallt ungdomsvåld blivit en viktig samhällsfråga idag. Denna studie tar avstamp i strainteorin som kompletteras med social inlärningsteori för att undersöka ungdomars våldsbrotts relation till ekonomiska problem samt kamraters brottslighet. Syftet är att undersöka hur ungdomars upplev
