Since the early 2000s, the issue of ‘honour-based violence’ has sparked significant discussions in Sweden, leading to governmental and civil efforts to combat this form of violence. An essential intervention highlighted in these efforts is improving knowledge among professionals in sectors such as social and healthcare, schools, and the judicial system. Recently, a new platform has emerged, offeri
This project explores the way design can adapt existing local areas to be better suited to their changing climates. In doing so it analyzes the current and seasonal climate conditions of Scandinavian towns such as Åkrehamn, Norway. Using available sun, wind, and weather data, the design is evaluated with climate modeling software to help visualize the climate conditions that the thesis aims to wor
The thesis studies the main sustainability challenges of Emmaus Fredriksdal, which is one of the groups of Emmaus International in Sweden. The organisation has its origin in a solidarity movement, which started in Paris after World War II with the purpose to provide support to the homeless and needy. Emmaus Fredriksdal is a young non-profit organisation in change that is becoming particularly acti
This thesis analyses three Fy og Bi films from the silent era: Tyvepak (1921), Vester-Vov-Vov (1927) and Filmens Helte (1928). The theoretical framework that is utilized in this thesis comes from ideological criticism as well as the concept of representation in film. The method used is textual analysis. The historiographical significance of the thesis fits into the broadly social approach to the s
In majority of academic literature related to BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, and sadism-masochism) the focus is often centred on men and their experiences within the community. The limited focus on women and their motivations to engage in BDSM dynamics has been a driving force in this thesis. Therefore, this research aims to address this gap and explore female BDSM practitioners&#
This study explores the application of laser-based techniques for measuring blood perfusion to predict anastomotic leaks (AL) following esophagectomy. ALs, a significant postoperative complication, are primarily associated with inadequate perfusion at the surgical site, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Techniques such as Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), Laser Speckle
The number of flooding incidents in our urban cities and communities has increased drastically as a result of the increased effect of global warming in recent years. The probability of occurrence for heavy rainfalls and cloudburst events is higher, increasing the risks of pluvial flooding in urban areas. As a result of more frequent flooding, the hydraulic capacity of existing stormwater pipe syst
The European Union’s identity as a normative power has long been examined and contested, most famously by Ian Manners' conceptualization in his 2002 work, Normative Power Europe. This study critically reassesses the EU's proposed identity through the lens of its responses to two pivotal crises: the Syrian conflict (2012-2015) and the 2016 EU-Türkiye Refugee Deal. The research interrogates
Current automated haematology systems lack the functionality of avian blood analysis using 10x magnification, which is an important feature as it allows for faster and more cost-effective blood analysis. The problem originates from the difference in red blood cell morphology in avian blood compared to mammalian blood, as the former are nucleated. The project was divided in two objectives, finding
Viktor Orbán’s FIDESZ is often referred to in academia as a right-wing populist political party. However, stemming from Hungary’s history of being dominated by outside powers and having been under communist rule for fifty years, this thesis argues that the nature of FIDESZ’s communication strategy could be heavily influenced by left-wing populist ideals. This thesis seeks to investigate populist a
The purpose of this paper is to gain an understanding into how a neoliberal environmentalist norm-complex can be used to understand the Swedish climate action plans published in 2019 and 2023. This was done through a mixed method approach, where the qualitative stage was allowed to take the most place. The quantitative stage of the analysis showed that the normative element of Green growth and sus
Artificial intelligence (AI) applications change the labour market for human workers. To establish if the applications are determined positive or not, they must be researched in a specified field. One field that is affected by AI applications is the field of economics. In this study, the anxiety towards AI and organisation-based self-esteem (OBSE) in (N = 79) accountants, auditors, and payroll cle
This research builds on the assertion that spirituality can be beneficial to human-wellbeing and in creating nature-connection. Applying that notion within the historical context of Christianity and its ties to the work-ethics of capitalism, the paper presents a case-study of the Threeclover Church, a Protestant Green Church in Denmark’s capital region. The aim is to gain further understanding of
With the projection of a growing amount of waste from photovoltaic (PV) panels in coming years, experts and researchers have highlighted the importance of the circular economy approach to face this challenge. With this approach, risks linked to the composition of PV panels, such as pollution and wastage of valuable materials, can be reduced. Therefore, this thesis aims to provide a systematic view
De senaste åren har fastighetsbolagen fått hantera ett stigande ränteläge från historiskt låga nivåer. Ökningen av styrräntan började under 2022 och sen dess har många fastighetsbolag haft en utmanande period, inte minst på världens börser. I media har det skrivits om att många fastighetsbolag har haft svårt att hantera de ökade räntekostnaderna. Fastighetsbolag bygger ofta på en relativt hög belåFor the past few years, the commercial real estate companies in Sweden have been affected by rising interest rates from previously low levels. The interest rates started to rise at the beginning of 2022, a challenging period for most of the commercial real estate companies. This can not only be seen in the companies financial data but also on the stock market. The media has written about the chall
Inhalation of engineered nanoparticles that are handled as powders or sprays in consumer products poses a potential health risk. To investigate the effects of nanoparticles on human health, the Nano Aerosol Chamber for In-Vitro Toxicity (NACIVT) system has been designed for controlled deposition of aerosol particles onto cell cultures. The objective of this study was to estimate the deposited dose
In 2024, the Lok Sabha Elections in India had unexpected results for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Many in the country expected a landslide victory, however due to the loss in a key state, Uttar Pradesh, the party failed to secure a majority in the Indian parliament. This thesis is an investigation into what could have happened in Uttar Pradesh by doing a qualitative content analysis, using NVIVO, t
