Industrial meat production causes immense suffering but continues on a massive scale. This study explores how the concepts of carnism by Melanie Joy and commodity fetishism (CF) by Karl Marx inter¬sect to enable the societal dissociation from the abusive interspecies relations behind industrial meat production. Moreover, the study develops a new concept called meat fetishism (MF) which highlights

The rapid advancement of computer vision, powered by large-scale visual datasets and deep learning, has raised pressing concerns about privacy, particularly when human faces are involved. This work explores how facial anonymization affects the performance of human detection models, aiming to balance identity protection with model utility. A range of anonymization techniques are applied, including

Frånvaron av ett omedelbart kostnadsansvar i förvaltningsprocessen innebär att enskilda i dagsläget är hänvisade till ett separat skadeståndsförfarande för att få sina rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsmål ersatta. Förvaltningsprocess-lagens [1971:291] (FPL) avsaknad av direkta ersättningsbestämmelser likt de som gäller i civila tvistemål har en rad förklaringar till sig. Förstone handlar det om hThe absence of an immediate cost liability in administrative proceedings means that individuals are currently referred to a separate tort proceeding to be compensated for their litigation costs in administrative cases. The lack of direct compensation provisions in the Administrative Court Procedure Act [1971:291] (FPL) has several explanations. Firstly, it concerns how the com-mon foundations of t

Materien som vi består av och kommer i kontakt med är uppbyggd av atomer med kärnor bestående av protoner och neutroner. De är exempel på hadroner, partiklar sammansatta av de fundamentala partiklarna kvarkar och gluoner. Dessa interagerar via den starka kraften, vilken likt gravitationen, elektromagnetismen och den svaga kraften är en fundamental kraft som styr utformningen av vårt universum. UndStrong force dynamics in the non-perturbative regime remains a poorly understood aspect of quantum chromodynamics. In collisions of heavy ions, the near-side ridge and enhanced elliptic flow are widely regarded as signatures of the collective motion of deconfined partons in a thermalized medium. On the other hand, no corresponding explanation has been found for the appearance of these signatures i

Denna avhandling föreställer sig en ny typ av typologi i staden, en som är sådd och odlad av och för de äldre och de unga. Ett mötesrum som främjar generationsöverskridande relationer och samarbete, samtidigt som det minskar ensamhet och främjar stimulerande miljöer för social utveckling. Genom att omvandla en oanvänd parkering i centrala Stockholm till ett gemensamt utrymme som är delvis trädgårdThis thesis imagines a new type of typology in the city, one that is seeded and cultivated by and for the elderly and the young. A meeting space that fosters intergenerational connections and collaboration while reducing loneliness and promoting stimulating environments for social development. By transforming an unused parking lot in central Stockholm into a shared space that is part garden, part

The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is affected by anthropogenic activities in Swedish waters, and the individuals found in the Öresund belong to the Belt Sea population, which is classified as ´vulnerable´. Boat traffic is known to have a negative impact on porpoises. Behavioural responses to such disturbances are context-dependent, and locally specific knowledge is needed for effective mana

This study aims to increase the understanding of the parents' experiences with children sitting at home. Furthermore, we want to contribute knowledge of how parents experience the relationship with professionals and how they experience the support offered. The research method we used was qualitative, with six semi-structured interviews. We chose parents because their children are of primary sc

This study examined how the number of explanatory variables included in a linear regression model affects model quality. The maximum number of variables was set to 20 and only models describing quantitative data were studied. The effect on model quality was studied through comparisons of models with different numbers of explanatory variables. The models – and the data sets the models were derived

This study aims to explore the complex positions of men as both victims and perpetrators within the context of honor-based violence and oppression. A qualitative method, utilizing self-biographies written by women, examines how the established norm of masculinity in honor culture portrays men as victims and perpetrators. The analysis focuses on two primary themes: “men as victims” and categories s

Gender norms seem to affect social workers' evaluation of children in childcare investigations in Sweden. This essay aimed to determine whether social workers at a Swedish social service center write differently about boys and girls in child care investigation documents based on the children's gender. The sample consisted of nine randomized investigation documents on four boys and five gir

Emotionsreglering (ER) innebär en förmåga att moderera varaktigheten och intensiteten av negativa känslomässiga upplevelser. Den aktuella studien utökar tidigare kunskap om ER i tonåren genom att anta en personcentrerad ansats för att undersöka profiler karaktäriserade av olika användning av följande ER-strategier: ruminering, socialt stöd, positiv omorientering, distraktion, kreativitet och aggreEmotion regulation (ER) refers to the ability to moderate duration and intensity of negative emotional experiences. The current study extends existing knowledge of ER in adolescence by adopting a person-centered approach to examine ER profiles characterized by different uses of the following ER strategies: rumination, social support, positive reorientation, distraction, creativity and aggression,

Lampetra planeri or Brook Lamprey is an aquatic fish-like species, characterized by its lack of jaws and long eel-like morphology. The species is usually found in small streams with gravel or sandy riverbeds and has seen a strong population decline during the last few decades. The primary goal of this thesis was to investigate if combined sewer overflows prevent the further spread of the Lampetra

This thesis aims to examine the possibilities and obligations that an employer in the private sector has towards an employee who uses or has used drugs. Swedish labour law lacks regulation and case law concerning the measures that may be taken in the event of an employee’s drug use. Due to the absence of specific legislation, an analogical interpretation is made based on the provisions that regula

In an era of widespread disinformation, understanding how individuals navigate diverse media is critical. To address this, this thesis investigates how South Africans engage with news across different media formats, focusing on the role of semiotic systems, sensory modalities, and trust in shaping news engagement behaviours. The study poses four research questions: 1) What kind of media do South A
