Understanding the spatial and temporal dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in boreal catchments is essential for improving water quality models and assessing carbon fluxes. This study applies the SWAT-C (Soil and Water Assessment Tool for Carbon) model to the Krycklan catchment in northern Sweden (67.9 km²), a well-instrumented boreal watershed characterized by forests, wetlands, and peatla
Transgender individuals in Georgia face persistent stigma, violence, and limited institutional protections, yet little is known about how they cope with such hostility and what supports are available to them. Guided by Minority Stress Theory and coping research that distinguishes adaptive from maladaptive strategies, this study explored coping practices, social support, and mental health among tra
371, 971 ex-combatants are to be disarmed, demobilised, and reintegrated in Ethiopia. This makes it the largest Disarmament, Demobilisation, and Reintegration (DDR) process globally. However, Ethiopia is still experiencing armed conflict in its two biggest regions, Amhara and Oromia. The aim of this thesis is to examine the challenges of implementing a DDR-programme amidst ongoing conflict in Ethi
Understanding how sympatric species partition resources is critical for biodiversity conservation, particularly in vulnerable ecosystems. As Arctic ecosystems undergo rapid climate change, understanding how animals use space and select habitats becomes essential for effective conservation planning. Advances in technologies can now provide high-resolution data on species movements and habitat use,
Purpose: Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is commonly used in cardiac diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI). However, the tissue's microstructure (cells, membranes, etc.) restricts the movement of the water molecules, making the spin displacements deviate from Gaussian behavior. This effect may be observed with diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) using sufficiently high b-values ((Formula present
Do student teachers benefit from contact with research, as required in our national teacher education curriculum? This paper describes the experiences of two pre-service teachers, who learned about common challenges encountered in the intersection between mathematics and physics. After a literature survey, they decided to try out a few questions with second-year high-school students (age 17). One
A number of scholars and industry professionals have claimed that there has been a ‘software-biased shift’ in the nature and direction of innovation, in that software development is a core part of innovation activities in firms across a wide array of industries. Empirical firm-level evidence of such a shift is still scant. In this paper, we employ new and unique firm-level survey data on the frequ
Anti-competitive notions, it seems, are increasingly informing the critical debate on a data-driven economy organised into scalable digital platforms. Issues of market definitions, how to value personal data on multisided platforms, and how to detect and regulate misuses of dominant positions have become key nomenclature on the battlefield of addressing fairness in our contemporary digital societi
Companies want to keep their customers. Especially, when they offer subscription based services instead of one time purchases. In the former case, if customers want to leave the company, they need to cancel their subscription. This is called customer churn. On the example of One.com, a company that offers subscription based web hosting, a mathematical model is developed to predict customer churn,
This study explored the effect of cognitive workload on shooting performance and quiet eye duration (QED) using a Stroop based handgun-shooting task (Stroop shooting). Furthermore, the difference between the reverse Stroop effect and the traditional Stroop effect when shooting based on the Attentional Control Theory was assessed. The methods used were partially based on previously published resear
Inom svensk straffrätt är uppsåt det huvudsakliga skuldkravet för straffrättsligt ansvar. Oaktsamhetsansvar är ett outtalat undantag som fångar upp handlingar vilka, trots att de inte genomförts med flit, anses så klandervärda att de motiverar ett straff. I takt med att samhällsvärderingar utvecklas uppkommer frågan vilka skyddsintressen som värderas tillräckligt högt för att skyddas med alla medeIn Swedish criminal law intent is seen as the main culpability form and negligence is punishable only if it is specifically stated. Regarding some crimes this construction is a problem since the law give room for blameworthy but not criminalized actions. The crime rape is regulated in 6 chapter 1 § in the Swedish Penal Code. To be sentenced for rape with todays legislation, it must have been comm
This thesis analyzes and illustrates the legal prerequisites for liability regarding self-driving vehicles, with the objective to contribute with new knowledge, an understanding of how technology impacts on the content of Swedish Criminal Law. By applying a perspective of sociology of law this study problematizes the legal constructions of responsibility and how its principles and concepts are aff
Abstract Author: Chanette Edman Title: Blinded love - a description of how the violence in a relationship is normalized by the victim and what leads to the breakup of the relationship Supervisor: Anna Rypi Assessor: Summary: This is a qualitative text analysis about how women who live in violent relationships describe their experiences in autobiographies.

The purpose of this study is to discover the characteristics of consumer brand relationships between consumers and woke brands and thus contribute to the research field of consumer brand relations. This will be achieved by looking to the relationship in the context of postmodern consumers and specifically three purposively selected cases; Pepsi, Always and Gillette. The study is based on three ca
The aim of this thesis is to further explore the relationship between the establishment of public transport and gentrification processes. There have been various studies showing the importance of public transport as a contributing factor in providing access to work and other important institutions in urban areas. However, recent studies have also shown that the establishment of public transport in
Energy efficiency improvements have not yet been developed to their full potential. Further improvements are necessary to tap into the full potential of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing energy consumption. This challenge is particularly relevant in buildings, a sector that consumes substantial amounts of energy. Despite numerous public policies to increase the energy efficiency perf
The tawny pipit (Anthus campestris) is a migrant bird adapted to dry, sandy habitats. In southern Sweden, land use changes have resulted in a reduction of suitable areas, affecting the birds’ population size. The SandLife Project was created with the goal to restore those sandy grasslands and improve local conditions to stimulate the recovery of biodiversity. In order to compare the current and th
A study on the obstacles that the Spanish state puts forward as well as the limitations in transitional justice practice that constitute a challenge for the recognition of the stealing of babies by private individuals during the Francoist dictatorship as reproductive rights violations, gender-based violence and a crime against humanity to be addressed by a hypothetical transitional justice agenda
