While Swedish politics actively develops crime prevention strategies, particularly targeting gang-related criminality, the role of schools in these strategies raises critical concerns. This thesis focuses on the legal obligation of principals to inform the police, which may help prevent, hinder, or detect criminal activity. Schools are increasingly positioned as arenas for policing and prevention,
Klimatförbättrad betong erbjuder en av byggsektorns mest tillgängliga vägar till minskade utsläpp. Utnyttjandet begränsas dock i praktiken mer av produktionsförhållanden och tradition än av materialet i sig. Betongproduktion står för en betydande del av de globala koldioxidutsläppen. Cement, en av de huvudsakliga komponenterna i betong, går delvis att ersätta med tillsatsmaterial som mald granuleCement production accounts for a significant share of global carbon dioxide emissions, which has made the development of climate-improved concrete a central concern for the construction industry. Replacing part of the cement with supplementary cementitious materials reduces the climate impact, but slows the development of early-age strength, an effect particularly pronounced at low temperatures.
This thesis explores the visual and cultural representation of worldbuilding in fantasy genre video game trailers. The focus is to find out to what extent video game trailers in the fantasy genre utilise visual tropes and cultural representations to establish an identity as fantasy video games. It is well established that game developers look for inspiration in the real world when creating new one
Sedan principen om ömsesidigt erkännande först formulerades i Cassis de Dijon-domen 1979 har den utgjort ett centralt inslag i den europeiska rättsordningen, och den fortsätter att spela en avgörande roll för att förverkliga den fria rörlig-heten inom EU:s inre marknad i dag. Även om principens kärna, att varor som lagligen saluförs i en medlemsstat i princip ska få cirkulera fritt i en annan, harEver since its emergence in 1979 in the Cassis de Dijon judgment, the principle of mutual recognition has constituted a central element of the European legal order, and it continues to play a crucial role in realising free movement within the EU’s Internal Market today. Although the core of the principle, that goods lawfully marketed in one Member State should be permitted to circulate freely in a
Industrial pasteurisation is a heat-intensive process with significant potential for decarbonisation. This study investigates how open-source Modelica libraries can be adapted for industry, especially for food industry, and integrated to replace fossil-based thermal systems. Investigations are done to evaluate models of heat pumps, thermal energy storage, specifically the stratified tank, and sol
Network cameras observe physical spaces but lack an inherent understanding of the scenes they see. This thesis presents a pipeline for floor and wall instance segmentation from a single uncalibrated RGB image, requiring no scene-specific prior information such as camera intrinsics, depth sensors, floor plans, or labelled floor and wall data for training. The detected instances are intended to supp
The availability of compensatory collective redress for GDPR violations remains an unresolved question. The issue has gained increasing importance as data protection infringements frequently affect large numbers of individuals, while existing enforcement mechanisms often fail to address such harms. This study analyses the scope of compensatory collective redress under Article 80 GDPR and the Repre
Electronic Image Stabilization is a method to digitally stabilize a video feed to remove unwanted motion by transforming the image. The aim is to create a better viewing experience, reduce bitrate, and simplify further video analytics. This thesis explores different algorithms to stabilize Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras made by Axis Communications. Many scenarios are investigated, but the case
This study aimed to examine the extent to which social work students expressed empathy toward perpetrators of violence and to analyze whether the level of education and the perpetrator’s gender had an impact on empathy. This study used a quantitative, deductive approach. Hypotheses were formulated based on previous research and theories of empathy. Data was collected via a digital questionnaire di
This study aims to examine how foreign-born women describe their experiences of language acquisition, interactions with public authorities, and opportunities for labour market participation in Sweden. Through qualitative interviews with women participating in Interkultur’s activities, the study explores how their linguistic, cultural, and social resources shape their integration processes. The ana
The transition toward a circular economy within the tourism and hospitality sector is increasingly critical, particularly regarding the management of food waste. While isolated interventions exist, there is a lack of holistic understanding regarding the systemic barriers and enablers of these transitions in localized destination setting. Using the Danish Island Bornholm as a living lab, this thesi
This project explores the regeneration of a contaminated post-industrial landscape in the South Zone of Shougang, Beijing. The site contains industrial remnants, soil contamination, fragmented spaces, and limited public use. Based on literature review, policy analysis, and site investigation, the project develops a time-based ecological strategy structured around three stages: Contain, Evolve, and
The earth’s resources will run out if we do not start conserving the materials that have already been extracted. Today's production is dominated by linear business models that do not take this environmental problem into account. Circular business models have been developed as a solution to this problem and to encourage companies to make the transition, the EU has introduced stricter legal requ
Land suitability assessments for coffee cultivation can support agroecological planning and contribute to food security and economic stability in many African regions. The study identifies land suitability for coffee cultivation in Nyamagabe, Rwanda, highlighting the significant influence of air temperature, rainfall, and elevation on coffee plantations. By comparing two spatial analysis results,
In 2024, a historically low birth rate of 1,43 children per woman was documented in Sweden, which is the lowest figure since measurements began in 1751. The Tidö government has therefore appointed the state-inquiry Utredningen för en framtid med barn. In the state-inquiry, the declining birth rate is presented as an economic crisis whose solution is a return to a higher fertility rate. In this pap
The EU's Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), a crisis response of 673 billion euro to the Covid-19 pandemic, made it possible to reward reforms in Member States for the first time. This thesis investigates whether the RRF can promote structural reforms, in line with the Eu-ropean Semester's Country Specific Recommendations (CSRs), using a principal-agent framework to theorise the RRF’s
Masonry reuse has gained increasing attention within sustainable construction due to the substantial use and the large environmental impact associated with construction and demolition waste. The bond between brick and mortar plays a critical role in both the structural performance of masonry and the potential for future brick reclamation. Strong brick–mortar bonds improve structural capacity but m
Calculation of the climate impact of buildings is becoming increasingly prevalent. In this context, understanding the comprehensive environmental impact of buildings, including fire risk, is crucial. This study investigates a method to incorporate the impact of fire risk on the climate footprint of buildings using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The paper focuses on several building types: single-famil
The Period genes (Per) play essential roles in modulating the molecular circadian clock timing in a broad range of species, which regulates the physiological and cellular rhythms through the transcription-translation feedback loop. While the Period gene paralogs are widely observed among vertebrates, the evolutionary history and the functional diversification of Per genes across vertebrates are no
This master’s thesis has examined the feasibility of an accumulator-based actuation method for the BorgWarner (BW) electric torque vectoring and disconnect (eTVD) system. The requirements for the proposed concepts were defined based on the performance of the baseline eTVD and served as reference criteria throughout the development process. A strong emphasis was placed on reducing system complexit
