Reaching consensus about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has never been easy on the international arena. The United Nations Population Fund and several women rights movements across the world are the leading actors in promoting SRHR. At the same time as progress for world with a universal implementation is being made, oppositional forces against SRHR are on the rise. The focus of
This study utilises Correspondence Analysis to investigate the subsistence strategies of Scandinavia's Middle Neolithic Culture of the Pitted Ware Culture (PWC). The aim is to understand subsistence strategies' regional and local expressions across larger geographic areas. The studied material is derived from PWC settlements in Gotland, Åland, Central-Eastern Sweden, and South Scandinavia.
Ditt pipetteringsinstrument skulle kunna vägleda dig och leverera information om förändringar eller problem i realtid. Genom att kontinuerligt undersöka sensordata kan maskininlärningsalgoritmer vara ett kraftfullt verktyg för att utvärdera olika aspekter och hålla dig informerad om möjliga fel som uppstår under arbetet. Detta skulle kunna förhindra dolda fel som volym- eller densitetsavvikelser Thermo Fisher Scientific manufacture automatic pipetting instruments for diagnostic tests. These tests are sensitive to abnormalities and changes in e.g. volume or density could potentially lead to less precision or other issues in the pipetting work flow. Utilizing data collected from a pressure sensor inside the pipette could be a way of automatically verifying different aspects related to the p
This thesis investigates the evolving political attitudes and behaviours toward democracy among young Kenyans, examining whether they are becoming increasingly apathetic toward democracy or are evolving innovative democratic behaviours. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data from Afrobarometer surveys with qualitative interviews with Kenyan youths conducted during
This essay is about universalism in the welfare state of Sweden. The essay contains an evaluation regarding one of the social insurances which is the pension system. This paper analyzes how universalism has changed in the transition from old to the new Swedish elderly pension system. During the 1990s a new pension system was introduced which is why an evaluation is of interest. Through theories ab
A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou
This paper looks at the potential economic outcomes of Germany’s Anti- Nuclear policies, especially the policies of the early 2000’s and those made in 2011 in the wake of the Japanese nuclear disaster at Fukushima, in which research and development (R&D) funding has been increasingly shifted away from the nuclear sector. This paper discusses the German case after it is established through theo
Motivated by the rising importance of today’s environmental issues and more specifically the role of energy conservation policies, the current study investigates the Granger causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in eight European countries. Using a large dataset that overall spans from 1800-2009 the study employs the Toda-Yamamoto procedure and cointegration analysis w
This master’s thesis describes methods of calculating deformations of large astronomical telescope mirrors caused by the mirror support system. In the first part of the report these calculation methods are derived, along with methods of optimizing a support system pattern. Both analytical and numerical methods are described in the case of deformation analysis, and methods based on probabilistic me
The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether EQ-5D is a valid measure of Health Related Quality of Life of psoriasis patients. The objective was carried out by investigating the correlation between the EuroQol EQ-5D and two other Health Related Quality of Life measures, Dermatology Life Quality Index and a Visual Analogue Scale assessed by the patient, as well as two clinical outcome measu
In Sweden opinions are strongly divided on the issue of integration. In a study from 2007 four parallel discourses on integration in the Swedish debate were identified. They are labeled the liberal-, the social democratic-, the structural discrimination discourse and finally a discourse of assimilation. A fifth is discussed briefly – the critical humanist position. In this report I take a closer l

The article investigates the reception of Carl Snoilsky’s Svenska bilder (Swedish Pictures) in Swedish schools, from the 1890s until today, in the light of the concept of cultural memory. For more than half a century, Snoilsky’s cycle of poems, depicting important events and figures in Sweden’s early modern history, belonged to the literary school canon; three special school editions were publishe
When the coronavirus spread globally in early 2020, many governments issued national lock downs of schools, institutions, and businesses. As the epidemic turned into a pandemic, the health crisis also became a societal crisis, and many universities and research foundations issued COVID-19 grants to study the societal implications of the crisis. In this article, we discuss sociological research dur
Gender equality (GE) is one of Sweden’s three thematic prioritizations in foreign aid and have so been since 2007. Gender equality is emphasized as important for development and as a question in which Sweden has added value in promoting. The thesis examines what type of gender equality Sweden promotes in development cooperation with nine African countries and how it has changed in the country and
Contemporary welfare policies often frame the unemployed as ”job seekers”, a position which demands that the individual engages in active job seeking, continuous self-work and various employability-enhancing activities.

The newly discovered site of Norje Sunnansund, located in south-eastern Sweden, presents great potential for analysing the origin of technological change in postglacial Europe based on transmission patterns through the technological analysis of Mesolithic material production and how manufacturing techniques and implements were distributed chronologically and geographically. The study shows that ma
