Sveriges befolkning blir allt mer mångkulturell, vilket framgår av att den utlandsfödda befolkningen utgjorde mer än 20% av Sveriges befolkning år 2024, enligt Statistikmyndigheten. Men samtidigt som tillströmningen av migranter fortsätter, förändras inte nödvändigtvis politik och normer i samma takt. I synnerhet finns det en skillnad mellan hur migranter kanske föredrar att använda sina namn och Sweden’s population is becoming increasingly multicultural as evident from the foreign population reaching over 20% as of 2024, according to the National Statistics Agency Statistikmyndigheten. Yet even as the influx of migrants continues, changes in policies and norms do not necessarily change at the same pace. In particular, there is a difference between how migrants might prefer to use their na

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems. Compared to traditional nuclear power plants (NPPs), risks are different and additional actors are involved.

Laptops and smartphones are now challenging the traditional boarders of work and have contributed to new ways of combining work and other parts of life. Both time and room dimensions have been resolved or taken new forms through the new information and communication technology.

In this paper we develop a system for detection of word-related head movements in audiovisu-al recordings of read news. Our materials consist of Swedish television news broadcasts and comprise audiovisual recordings of five news readers (two female, three male).

Dance as an art form is strongly connected to the experience of movement. Dance is also connected to the experience that occur in the relation between the audience and the performers on stage. Therefore, information is based on subjective impressions. It’s something limited and framed in a certain time and space that arises, lives and dissolves in the body and in the now. To add the archival funct
Abstract This case study looks at the topic of honor killings in relation to “doing” masculinity, in Jordan. A short overview is given on the dynamics of masculinities detected in the Jordanian public sphere. Furthermore, the study presents two cases of honor killings attempting to explore, through life-history interviews, what meaning the felonies might have had on the masculine identity of the
This thesis describes attempts at estimating the uncertainty of the 2-metre temperature forecast error from a probabilistic point of view, utilizing Bayesian neural networks. Bayesian neural networks are a type of machine-learning algorithms used to find patterns in data and make probabilistic predictions. Multiple fields of output data from the ECMWF IFS global model, along with temperature measu
This essay deals with the constantly relevant topic of the creation of new states. The purpose of the essay is to examine what relevance a recognition has in the creation of a new state. Despite the relevance of the topic in international law, it is a largely unregulated area with two opposing theories proposing different answers to the same problem. After describing the criteria in the Montevide
From a managerial perspective, organizational effectiveness, whether internal or external, is of extreme importance. Therefore, management studies should investigate which phenomena need to be emphasized and safeguarded to utilize organizational effectiveness. Intra-organizational trust and job satisfaction are both defined as phenomena that are of influence on organizational effectiveness. This s

Lekmannamedverkan i domstol är ett gammalt fenomen i både Sverige och Danmark. En lekman är en person som sitter med och dömer i domstolarna jämte juristdomarna. Inflytandet hos dessa har både ökat och minskat över tid och varierar även beroende på vilken typ av lekmannadomare man talar om. Denna uppsats undersöker lekdomare i ett historiskt och nutida perspektiv och förklarar hur de olika systemeLay judges in courts is an old phenomenon in both Sweden and Denmark. A layman is someone who judges court cases in coalition with ordinary judges.

The last decades of the 10th century saw an upheaval in interregional contacts that shattered old arrangements. Some of the nodes in the network were abandoned. Sigtuna seems to be established in the wake of Birka’s demise, but it took two or three decades before foreign guests found their way on a regular basis. With the structural pre-millennium re-arrangement, negotiations with both Continental
This Master Thesis was carried out at EuroMaint Rail AB in Malmoe. The assignment, which was provided by EuroMaint Rail AB, was to develop a device that makes the workload easier and enhances the safety in the engine replacement process for the locomotives RC1-4. Since the company at a national level started to introduce LEAN-production, management at the repair shop in Malmoe, Sweden, searched fo
Background: Pain is a debilitating symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), caused by joint inflammation and cartilage and bone destruction. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat pain and inflammation in RA, but are not disease-modifying and do not prevent joint destruction when administered alone. KBPs (Key Bioscience peptides) are synthetic peptides based on salmon calcitoBackground: Pain is a debilitating symptom of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), caused by joint inflammation and cartilage and bone destruction.
