This thesis investigates five ex-inmates’ narratives on their pathways in and out of crime in Malta. In-depth interviews were conducted to generate their stories. Previous studies on criminal pathways tend to prioritise either the persistence or desistance path and present each path as a linear process. Within this context, the complexities of a criminal path and barriers towards desistance tend t

This thesis studies hallandic hillforts through both field research and computer analysis. The research questions concern morphology, classification, cultural landscape, and regional variation. The purpose of this thesis is to create a more developed and nuanced image of the hill forts, starting by mentioning them as enclosures (hägnadsanläggning) instead of hill fort (fornborg). By dividing the e

År 2004 implementerade Danmark en ny lag, som tillåter polisen att utfärda så kallade visitationszoner, som ett verktyg för att bekämpa framför allt våldsbrott. I Sverige, har implementering av sådana zoner blivit ett återkommande inslag i den politiska debatten och riksdagsmotioner, i samband med att bekämpa gängbrottslighet. Ett vanligt argument för implementering är ”det fungerar i Danmark”. ÄnIn 2004, Denmark implemented a new law which allows the police to issue so-called “Stop & Search zones”, as a measure to defeat mainly violent crimes. In Sweden, the implementation of such zones is a current frequently occurring matter in the political debate and parliamentary motions, in the context of defeating gang crime. One common argument in favor of implementation is “It works in Denmar

This thesis covers the work of a numerical examination of the rotational properties of a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) utilizing the beyond mean-field extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a specified set of parameters. These parameters are chosen to cancel the strength of the mean-field interaction, which makes the system predominantly governed by the next order beyond the mean-fi

Krita är onekligen en av de mest omtalade tidsåldrarna inom paleontologin, inte minst på grund av massutdöendet som innebar slutet för alla icke-flygande dinosaurier. Nya studier visar att biodiversiteten hos storvuxna fågelhöftade dinosaurier började minska tiotals miljoner år innan utdöendet. Samtidigt tyder syreisotop- data (δ18O) och anδra klimatproxies på ett instabilt och föränderligt klimat

Background: The effects of children witnessing violence in theirs close relationships are according to previous research very extensive and can in many cases have devastating and lifelong consequences for the children in their upcoming close relationships with other people. The Swedish legal system has in different ways tried to strengthen the rights of children who are victims of witnessing viole

I Smålands hjärta i närheten av Alvesta finns ett skogsområde vid namn Aringsås. Tidigare expansioner av Alvesta har inneburit att delar av Aringsås kalhuggits och markberetts för att ge plats åt villaområden med nyckelfärdiga hus. Nu ska i stället ett nytt bostadsområde växa fram i samspel med naturen, skogen ska lämnas orörd i den mån det går. Husen ska byggas av trä och förankras i småländskt hIn the heart of Småland, near Alvesta, there is a forest area called Aringsås. Previous expansions of Alvesta have meant that parts of Aringsås were cleared of trees, and the terrain flattened to make room for residential areas with turnkey houses. Now, a new residential area will emerge in interplay with nature. The forest will be left untouched as far as possible. The buildings will be construct

Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka hur ensamkommande flyktingbarn och personal på boenden oftast på hem för vård eller boende, så kallade HVB-hem, såg på flyktingmottagandet 2015/2016. Vilka behov som var viktigast och vad som hade kunnat förbättras. Studien har utformats som en kvalitativ undersökning i följd av fem semistrukturerade intervjuer. Tre intervjuer med unga vuxna som kommThe purpose of this study has been to investigate how unaccompanied minor refugees and staff at accommodation for children at home for care or accommodation, so called HVB-homes looked at the refugee reception during 2015-2016. Which needs were the most important and what could be improved. The study is qualitative and includes five semi-structured interviews, three with young adults who came to S

The purpose of the study was to examine counselors experiences and challenges regarding the work with the child perspective within child and adolescent habilitation in relation to the obligation to report. The study was conducted through interviews with seven counselors from various habilitation clinics in Region Skåne. The results indicate that counselors have an advisory and supportive role towa

While Sweden falls short in integrating youths growing up in segregated areas, these disadvantaged neighborhoods are more frequently imposed to profit-driven strategies that result in gentrification. This thesis aims to uncover how gentrification affects the lived experience that youths from disadvantaged areas have of their habitat. Choosing the case of Järva, Stockholm, the ways youths perceive

As the Covid-19 virus started to emerge in the beginning of March 2020, organizations and businesses worldwide had to change their work environments. Due to the obvious physical risks that the virus brought, employees all over the world were forced to practice work through re- mote spaces instead of regular office situated environments. This instant demand for isolation erased the face-to-face com

The purpose of this paper is to subject to an examination some aspects of the Danish government's foreign policy during the first world war. The first examined aspect of the foreign policy is the ways and means used by the government to try to maintain and preserve respect for the neutral territorial jurisdiction according to international law. Another examined aspect is the question if ther

It has been almost 20 years since inclusive education was first implemented in Indonesia; however, based on the previous studies, the realities surrounding inclusive education strategies remain disappointing as disabled students continue to face discrimination and segregation in school. By taking into account how inclusive education discourse is constituted within national documents and affects th

The aim of the thesis is to examine which significance the landscape and its inherent properties, resources and economical potential had in the processes that led up to a medieval society in Scandinavia. By making the role of the landscape visible in societal changes, the understanding of expansion and regression, economical strategies and spatial relations can be further broadened. A case study i

Papperssugrör kan förhoppningsvis ersätta dagens plastsugrör på mindre dryckesförpackningar, för att minska engångsanvändningen av plast över hela världen. Tetra Pak producerar sina egna papperssugrör i Lund, och undersöker möjligheten att övervaka produktionen med hjälp av bilder på de producerade sugrören. I detta arbete ligger fokus på styrkan hos tippen på sugröret, och vilken kraft som behövsContinuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th

This study aims to highlight some of the impacts following the climatic event of 536 C.E. This is achieved by analyzing and comparing excavated settlement patterns throughout the southern Malmö area in two phases that precede and succeed the year 550 C.E. Furthermore, the study evaluates a possible shift in social order and agency within the local community, as well as how this shift could potenti

The method chosen was seven semi-structured interviews with different professions that work at a primary health care center in Southern Sweden that uses the organizational model IBH.

I examensarbetet har maskininlärning använts för att kombinera detektionen av röda blod-kroppar och blodplättar. En snabbare lösning i jämförelse med dagens separata algoritmer på företaget utformades, med prestanda i samma klass.Blood analysis is an integral part of diagnostic medicine and used in most medical fields. The concentrations of red blood cells and platelets, and ratio between these, are used for diagnosing several diseases. CellaVision develops machines and software for automatically capturing images of blood sample smears and detecting its cellular contents. The company currently has separate algorithms for d
