Denna studie har undersökt varför straffbarhetsåldern har sänkts till 14 år genom att analysera de sätt som den nätverksrelaterade brottsligheten och barn konstrueras av regeringen och kritiker till lagändringen. I samband med detta analyseras även ifall de samtida kraven för hårdare straff fyller en rationell brottsförebyggande funktion. Studien har utförts genom en kritisk diskursanalys av varie
Large intelligent surfaces (LIS) extend conventional massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems by employing a physically large and dense antenna surface, offering a promising architecture for next-generation wireless communication systems. In practical receivers, oscillator phase noise introduces time-varying phase rotations that cause the effective channel to evolve during a transmiss
This thesis examines the Faxe limestone quarry (Faxe Kalkbrud), Denmark's largest active limestone quarry, where extraction, biodiversity conservation, geological research, and public fossil hunting coexist without any recorded environmental conflict, unlike the cases described in the conflict or heritage literature on quarries. Drawing on ecological modernization theory (EMT), this study asks
Migration is an extremely and increasingly pressing issue, it is currently being treated as a matter of national security and resource depletion. States are trying to discourage so-called voluntary (economic) migrants from claiming refugee status whilst also trying to integrate their refugees. This research suggests that voluntary and involuntary migrants are not necessarily two separate groups of
Part of the research on tourism has had much focus on how destinations may engage in placemaking processes that follow bottom-up initiatives, and how Destination Marketing Organizations (DMOs) may contribute to such processes. This study follows this interest through the analysis of how placemaking through narratives, mainly within digital platforms, influences the overall place image in destinati
This thesis examines how hosts organize gatherings across private, grassroots, commercial, and institutional contexts. While existing literature often treats hospitality as an interpersonal exchange or event organizing as a technical managerial practice, less attention has been given to how resources, organizational structures, gendered labor, and uncertainty interact across these settings. Drawin
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) enables causal investigation of brain-behavior relationships but exhibits substantial interindividual variability. White matter pathways, which propagate stimulation-induced signals, may contribute to this variability, yet their role remains unclear. Moreover, prior work has not accounted for individual hemispheric dominance, which may further compound this
Art and engagement with art have been active and important phenomena of humanity for millennia, and the benefits of engagement with art are persistently being uncovered across interdisciplinary fields of research including the field of social science. From a service perspective this thesis explores the art museum as a service which has the capacity and aim to engage the public with art. In order f
The growth of omnichannel retail has made product returns more convenient for customers, but it has also created new challenges for verifying whether a return is legitimate. In fashion retail, traditional Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) systems can confirm product-category information but cannot establish whether the item being returned is the exact item connected to the original transaction. This create
Visual features are encoded by the population activity of neurons across the human visual hierarchy, from primary visual features in early areas to semantic visual features in the higher visual cortex. Sparse dictionary learning and sparse autoencoders have recently emerged as powerful automated and unsupervised methods for discovering monosemantic representations of features in the massive data o
The establishment of the sugar factory in 1869 played a decisive role in the development of Arlöv and is therefore of great importance to the small town. With the production relocated, the thesis explores how the sugar factory area may continue to contribute to Arlöv’s development under new conditions. This thesis investigates the transformation of a disused industrial site with cultural and hist
Two eye-tracking experiments examined whether a spatial direction generated internally from a nonspatial cue was systematically associated with oculomotor behaviour during the imagery period and subsequent target-directed orienting. In Experiment 1, participants generated the leftward or rightward gaze of a learned human face. Gaze position was systematically displaced towards the imagined directi
Rapid growth in utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment increases the demand for spatial decision-support methods that are both computationally scalable and grounded in real-world development practice. This thesis develops and evaluates a high-resolution, raster-based GIS screening framework for early-stage solar PV site identification in Sweden, with a particular focus on efficient raste
This study aimed to examine how the child is represented, framed, and positioned in text-based news articles about compulsory care under the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act, and how the child's perspective is made accessible through different forms of voice. The study was based on a qualitative content analysis of 40 local and regional news articles published in 2025. The material was collec
Physical modelling synthesis techniques are a well established approach for performing simulations of acoustic systems — such as vibrating strings, plates, or resonators — typically by solving the set of ordinary or partial differential equations that describe their behaviour. Existing implementations largely utilize numerical approaches to solve such systems, but calculating nonlinear terms which
The present comparative cognition study investigated decision making under uncertainty by examining dogs’ choice behaviour in response to different types of information. Specifically, the study examined how incoming informational cues that either confirmed or conflicted with the initial cue influenced subsequent choice behaviour. The final sample consisted of 50 dogs (28 females, 22 males) between
Online fashion retail provides consumers with greater convenience and access to clothing, but the absence of physical try-on can make clothing-size decisions difficult. Digital measurement tools have been developed to provide consumers with body measurement information and support these decisions. However, receiving measurement-based information does not necessarily mean that users can easily inte
Studien är en kvalitativ undersökning om hur bilkörning i en svensk storstad definieras som ett socialt problem. Syftet är att skildra aktörsgrupperna vilka varit del i konstruktionen. Det empiriska materialet bestod utav allmänna handlingar, nyhetsartiklar och radioinslag från 2023–2026, samt fyra semi-strukturerade intervjuer efter ett ändamålsenligt urval. Materialet analyserades med utgångspun
