Abstract Author: Sara Nouri Title: Territorial stigmatization Supervisor: Mats Hilte The aim with this study has been, on the basis of qualitative methods, study and report experiences and effects for individuals living in a segregated and stigmatized neighborhood. The essay is focused on whether the stigma influences the individuals view about their identity, how individuals handle their neighb

Den svenska lagstiftningen saknar idag en samvetsklausul som ger hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal en möjlighet att åberopa samvetsfrihet i arbetslivet. En sådan klausul skulle innebära en möjlighet för barnmorskor att kunna välja att inte delta i bland annat abortvård. Yrkesverksamma barnmorskor i Norge har idag denna möjlighet genom den så kallade reservationsrätten. Det råder delade uppfattningar krThe Swedish legislation currently lacks a conscience clause that enhances opportunities for religious professionals to choose which professional obligations to engage in. For example, such clause can consequently allow midwives to not chose to participate in abortion care. This example is currently demonstrated in Norway where midwives are conceded to obtain a right to reserve certain obligations.

När jag under min utbildning varit ute på praktik och vikarierat har jag flera gånger stött på begreppet konstnärligt uttryck. Jag har alltid tyckt det var svårt att förstå exakt vad ett konstnärligt uttryck innebär. Därför föddes idén till denna studie om att prata med verksamma sånglärare inom gymnasieskolan och ta reda på mer om hur de jobbar med det konstnärliga uttrycket. Syftet med denna stuWhen I have done internships and worked as a substitute during my education I have come across the term artistic expression several times. I have always had a hard time understanding exactly what an artistic expression means. That is where I got the idea to talk with active singing teachers in upper secondary school to find out more about how they work with the artistic expression. The purpose wit

This thesis investigates the use of artificial neural networks for classifying Raman spectra of partially degraded cellulose samples by fungal species. A multilayer perceptron configuration of 4 hidden layers and 128 hidden nodes was able to classify a set of 60 samples with an overall prediction accuracy of 0.55. Results show that data resolution is an important factor when optimizing classifier

This article is concerned with the tenure track (TT) model, which has become increasingly used to extend the period of early career academics’ probation from one to five years across the EU. This article focuses on the TT in Trinity College Dublin (TCD), the oldest and most prestigious university in Ireland, one where gender equality has been embedded more consistently and where the pace of change

Emerging evidence and clinical practice guidelines have highlighted that obesity, defined as a chronic disease characterised by excess or dysfunctional adipose tissue, may not be accurately measured or understood by solely relying on body mass index (BMI) which is a measure of size not functionality. An alternative to BMI, as proposed in the Canadian Adult Obesity Management Guideline, is the use

Over four decades, Indigenous Sámi individuals and communities have submitted to United Nations human rights treaty bodies, including the Human Rights Committee, several complaints in respect of the three Nordic countries Finland, Norway, and Sweden. Many of these Sámi rights cases have made important contributions to the understanding and application of Indigenous peoples’ rights globally, in add

Scholars have characterized Cambodia as a weak state, strong party governance system in which administrative institutions are subordinated to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP). This article argues that since 2013 Cambodian governance has taken a significant technocratic turn, as party rule has become increasingly dependent on a stronger and more capable administrative state. It traces a re

Kanarieöarna, en ögrupp i Atlanten som tillhör Spanien och bildades för cirka 25 miljoner år sedan, har en komplex geologisk historia präglad av intensiv magmatisk aktivitet från en underliggande så kallad hotspot. Under hotspoten har extraordinärt varmt mantelmaterial transporterats upp till basen av litosfären som delvis har smält upp. Teneriffa, en av de mest välkända öarna i ögruppen, formades

Cameras are an ever growing part of all humans’ everyday life, from smartphones to surveillance cameras. One thing they all have in common is the need for a stable and focused image, even in conditions with camera movement as a result of external factors. To counteract the issue of blurry images from vibration disturbances, a technique called Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is commonly used. In

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs) are becoming increasingly popular in traction applications. PMSMs have gained popularity due to their efficiency, compactness and excellent features related to control. This is mainly because of the permanent magnet placement in the rotor, which negates any additional rotor excitation, hence reducing energy losses considerably. This makes them more effic

The increasing presence and activities of people in both urban environments and non-urban areas result in the exposure of many wild animal populations to persistent human disturbance. As a response, individuals in disturbed populations often become tolerant towards humans, which can have significant ecological and societal consequences, for example by affecting ecosystem services and human–wildlif

Mantelplymhypotesen har varit föremål för omfattande debatt under lång tid, ända sedan den publicerades 1971. Denna hypotes förklarar vulkanismens ursprung genom antagandet att ett extremt varmt mantelmaterial stiger upp under litosfären genom smala kanaler. Hypotesen har accepterats av geologer och har använts för att förklara vulkanism på platser som Hawaii och Island. Trots detta har hypotesen

Marine copepods are the most abundant multicellular zooplankton in the global oceans. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique bouquet of chemical compounds, including polar lipids such as copepodamides. Prey organisms can detect copepodamides and respond by inducing defensive traits including bioluminescence, toxin production, changes in colony size, and structural modifications. This
