The aim of this paper is to study and analyze the differences between cases of incitement against ethnic groups in Skåne and Blekinge. Statistics from Brottsförebyggande rådet (BRÅ) in regard to incitement against ethnic groups and hate related crimes, show a decrease in antisemitism and an increase in islamophobia. In a similar vein, the law against incitement against ethnic groups has not been u

This thesis investigates the impact of privatizing public employment services in Sweden by comparing two service models: Stöd och Matchning (Stom) and Kundval Rusta och Matcha (Krom). The study aims to determine whether a higher share of result-based compensation and greater freedom for providers to design their own measures of service provision under Krom, improve the results of the service. This

This qualitative research explores the measures of civil society organisations (CSOs) in the labour market integration of female refugees. For this, expert interviews with five 'best practice' CSOs in Germany were conducted to highlight the measures the initiatives take in light of the obstacles they face in their work. The results show that both tangible and intangible measures are taken,

This study examines how Swedish municipalities interpret and implement the new Swedish law regarding municipal responsibility for crime prevention work. The law contains a responsibility for Swedish municipalities to base their crime prevention work on an evidence basis. Furthermore, the law includes a responsibility for municipalities to establish a situational picture as well as coordination of

Hur påverkar varierande infiltration transporten av PFAS i mark och grundvatten? PFAS kan vid nederbörd transporteras med infiltrerande vatten ner till grundvattnet och vidare till dricksvattentäkter. Därför är det viktigt att förstå hur variationer i infiltrationen påverkar spridningen för att kunna skydda våra dricksvattentäkter. PFAS står för pre- och polyfluorerande alkylsubstanser och är en PFAS contaminating groundwater is a worldwide problem. PFAS are synthetically produced substances that are known for their persistence in the environment. Understanding their behaviour in the environment is therefore an important factor, especially considering the possibility of contaminating drinking water sources. Groundwater modelling is a valuable tool to increase the knowledge regarding fate

The restaurant industry, known for its volatile and risky nature, faces unique challenges in maintaining resilience. This study explores how micro and small to medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Swedish restaurant industry manage to survive during periods of crisis and adversity. By investigating the concepts of crisis management and business resilience in relation to MSMEs, this study provid

Aims and methods: This study examines the discourse surrounding honour-related violence and oppression, referred to as honour violence. A discourse analysis was conducted on material from the state and organisations working with HRVF, collaborating with midwives. Two in-depth interviews with midwives gathered firsthand experiences from professionals encountering potential victims of honour violenc

Matematiker undersöker ofta talsystem som är annorlunda från de vanliga talen vi är vana vid. Ett exempel på ett sådant talsystem är timmarna på en klocka, där 13 = 1 och 9 + 6 = 3. Ett mindre självklart exempel är sekvenser av drag på en Rubik's kub. Man kan addera ihop två dragsekvenser genom att göra dem efter varandra, och det går att göra algebraiska manipulationer med dessa drag precis sThis thesis uses the strategy of Dyckerhoff-Kapranov to show the associativity and unitality of Hall Algebras for proto-abelian categories. After a more classical introduction to Hall algebras, we show that the Waldhausen S-construction of a proto-abelian category is a 2-Segal simplicial groupoid, and use this to construct a monoid object in the category of spans in groupoids. We then use this mon

Forskningsfrågor: Vilken typ av CSR-arbete, miljömässigt eller socialt, främjar varumärkeslojaliteten och köpintentionen mest hos studenter vid Lunds universitet vid klädköp? Resulterar ökad varumärkeslojalitet i en högre köpintention? Syfte: Studien syftar till att kartlägga och utforska vilket av områdena socialt och miljömässigt CSR-arbete som i högst grad främjar varumärkeslojalitet och köpint

The tall perennial herb Gladiolus imbricatus is an endangered species within plant communities of semi-natural grasslands. Coastal meadows, extensively managed as pastures or meadows, are amongst its favored habitats and thrive with biodiversity in fauna and flora. However, following major land-use changes during the last century, proactive endeavors are necessary to prevent a loss of rare fauna a

Den svenska elkonsumtionen och elproduktionen förväntas öka drastiskt de närmsta åren. Detta ställer krav på elnätet som därmed behöver stärkas och byggas ut för att tillvarata den el som förväntas. Parallellt med detta behöver den gröna omställningen av industrisektorn påskydas om EU ska lyckas uppnå klimatmålen till 2050. För att dekarbonisera industriella processer kan grön vätgas användas. GenThe expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric

This thesis examines the gendered dynamics of entrepreneurial pitching, focusing on the experiences of female founders in Germany. Despite the continued growth of female entrepreneurship, there are still significant challenges, particularly in relation to fundraising. Therefore, this thesis focuses on pitching situations as a strategy to raise funding. A qualitative methodology is used, to explore

Amyloid beta (Aβ) proteins are a group of proteins able to form fibrillar aggregates that are linked to the adverse neurological effects seen in Alzheimer’s disease [11]. The molecular mechanisms that lead to the Aβ aggregation are complex processes, and efforts to understand them are being made by investigating the kinetics and thermodynamic properties of the protein. The solubility of the protei

Leaf-level vegetation dry matter and water content as plant traits have been commonly studied, but few studies have investigated the capabilities of satellite remote sensing in estimating community-level dry matter content as percentage (DMCaP) in forage crops for agricultural applications. It is a crucial quality factor for maximizing nutrient yield and producing palatable forage. In this thesi

Purpose: To investigate whether a firm's hedging activities have an impact on the cost of debt. Moreover, the study aims to investigate any differences between the three categories of risk: foreign exchange rate risks (FX), interest rate risks (IR) and commodity price risks (CM) as well as the sources of benefit from hedging. Methodology: The study is conducted on a panel data set, and the ut

The aim of this study is to critically examine the strategic challenges in an early-stage multi-stakeholder innovation project, which has the aim to develop a novel solution. A qualitative single case study consisting of seven semi-structured interviews were conducted to identify strategic challenges as well as key success factors. Furthermore, an abductive approach was adopted in order to elabora

Bakgrund: Kvinnor som utsätts för våld i nära relation är ett globalt hälsoproblem. Våldet har ofta långvariga hälsokonsekvenser och påverkar även kvinnornas vardag negativt. I dagsläget saknas arbetsterapi samt arbetsterapeutisk forskning för denna målgrupp och det är idag oklart hur våldet påverkar aktiviteter i vardagen för våldsutsatta kvinnor. Syfte: Med stöd av Model of Human Occupation sammBackground: Women subjected to intimate partner violence face a global health issue. The violence often has long-term health consequences and negatively affects women's daily lives. Currently, there is a lack of occupational therapy and research in this field for this target group, and it is unclear how the violence impacts daily activities for these women. Purpose: Supported by the Model of H
