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

Introduction: During the crosslinking process of high voltage cables, by-products are formed that affect the electrical properties of the cables, therefore these must be detected and quantified to improve manufacturing of high voltage cables. Background: Understanding conduction mechanism and insulation systems is essential for improving cable performance and preventing failures in high voltage d

The rise of right-wing populism in Western democracies has been accompanied by a backlash against gender equality and a nostalgia for a return to traditional gender roles; a movement known as anti-feminism. The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right political party in Germany, is also linked to this movement by attacking advances in gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights in its political discourse.

This thesis investigates textile production in Viking Age Iceland. While in the past two decades a significant amount of research has been done on the textiles that have been recovered during archaeological excavations, research on the textile production itself remains underexplored. Current thinking assumes that production followed a standard household-based model across Iceland, but this interpr

Denna uppsats utforskar hur globala organisationer anpassar sina kommunikationsstrategier i olika kulturella kontext, med Coca-Cola som fallstudie. Genom att fokusera på kampanjer i Mellanöstern och Sydafrika undersöker forskningen hur Coca-Cola anpassar sitt budskap för att stämma överens med lokala kulturella värderingar, samtidigt som man upprätthåller en konsekvent global varumärkesidentitet. This thesis explores how global organizations adapt their communication strategies across different cultural contexts, using Coca-Cola as a case study. Focusing on marketing campaigns in the Middle East and South Africa, the research investigates how Coca-Cola tailors its messaging to align with local cultural values while maintaining a consistent global brand identity. Through a qualitative conte

”Land skall med lag byggas” var Karl XV:s valspråk, ett citat som markerar vikten av rättssäkerhet i samhället. Dessvärre har han inte uttalat sig än över hur kommunal miljötillsyn ska organiseras, vilket har skapat förvirring över hur vi ska gå till väga. Lag ska såklart precis som för länder ligga till grunden för tillsyn, men i dagsläget är det möjligt på grund av decentraliseringen att olika kSwedish environmental, health, and food inspection is heavily decentralised to a municipal level. These municipalities share the same laws and have little authority to write their own policies regarding these subjects. This should logically lead to the de facto policies looking similar from municipality to municipality. However, there could exist other forces that affect the policies from a non-le

Image classification systems have been widely applied in smartphones, industrial inspection, and automated devices. However, in real-world scenarios, existing classifiers often produce inconsistent or incorrect predictions due to factors such as image degradation, inter-class similarity, and model instability, thereby reducing the overall performance of the system. To address these issues and enha
