The purpose of this study was to understand how the proposed legislation to lower the age of criminal responsibility from 15 to 13 years can be understood in relation to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. We have used a qualitative method in the form of a document analysis. Our empirical material consisted of the draft of the legislation and relevant articles from the Convention on the Rig

I takt med att Artificiell intelligens (AI) tagit en allt större roll i vårt samhälle har behovet av att träna generativa språkmodeller och AI på stora mängder data blivit en allt mer central fråga, vilket i sin tur lett till upphovsrättsliga frågor när datan som AI:n tränas på är skyddat material. Uppsatsen syftar till att analysera hur användningen av upphovsrättsligt skyddat material som träninThe growing use of generative Artificial intelligence trained on large datasets has increased copyright questions when the training data consists of protected material. The thesis aims to analyze how the use of copyright-protected material as training data can be assessed under both Swedish and EU law, and how the AI Regulations transparency requirements come into play. The study is based on a leg

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur finskhet representeras i SVT:s humorprogram IFS – Invandrare för svenskar (2022–2025). Med utgångspunkt i Stuart Halls representationsteori och genom en multimodal diskursanalys analyseras programmets humoristiska framställningar av finskhet, med särskilt fokus på samspelet mellan språkliga och visuella uttryck. Studien visar att humorn i IFS – Invandrare för sThis bachelor’s thesis examines how Finnishness is represented in the Swedish public service comedy show IFS – Invandrare för svenskar (2022–2025). Drawing on Stuart Hall’s theory of representation and employing a multimodal discourse analysis, the study analyses the show’s humorous portrayals of Finnishness, with particular attention to the interplay between linguistic and visual cues. The findin

The purpose of this study is to explore social workers' attitudes towards AI as an assistive tool and attitudes towards how AI affects the work environment. We have conducted a quantitative study by sending a survey to the social services of the municipalities of Scania, Sweden. Social workers have answered questions regarding how AI affects the work environment and general questions about how

In order to enhance understanding of what factors influence the gender division of housework, this study investigates the association between households’ purchases of domestic services and women's share of unpaid domestic labour in Swedish heterosexual working couples. Findings from logistic regression analyses suggest that purchases of domestic services, in the literature sometimes also refer

Att vara förälder innebär många olika saker. Föräldrar har såväl praktiskt som känslomässigt och moraliskt ansvar för sina barn, och inom ramen för allt detta är det mycket som behöver göras och många beslut som löpande behöver fattas. I både nyligen publicerade studier och media har det på den senaste tiden gått att läsa om utbredningen av det som kallas för intensivt föräldraskap och hur det tarThe widespread prevalence of a general intensification of parenting ideals has been described in academic research and discussed in contemporary media debates. This study constitutes a social phenomenological investigation of experiences and perceptions of parenting among the Swedish middle class, with norms, expectations, and ideals of intensive parenting as its primary focus. Semi-structured lif

The school system has undergone changes over several decades as a result of national reforms and reorganizations. These changes have led to increased complexity in what the teaching role entails, and emotional labor and relationship-building have become a central part of teachers’ work. The aim of the study is to examine how primary school teachers relate to the demands and expectations that chara

The deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral region, from 200-400 nm, can reveal unique information about biological samples, where proteins and biomolecules exhibit distinct spectral signatures in this wavelength region. However, because of technical limitations, the absence of stable DUV light sources has left the research in this spectral range largely unexplored. Recent advancements in laser-driven pla

Studier av olika material och deras egenskaper har en lång historia. Från de fyra elementen till alkemi och slutligen till modern fysik. Modern forskning ägnar mycket tid åt att undersöka exotiska material som beter sig på annorlunda sätt än metaller och endast existerar under extrema förhållanden. De exotiska materialens beteende kommer ifrån hur elektronerna, de minsta av atomernas byggstenar, pThe subject of this work is the simulation of photoemission spectra of simple metals. The simulation is performed using a model based on a dynamical exchange correlation potential. Angle-resolved photoemission spectra at the Γ point, and valence band photoemission spectra are simulated for Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, Mg, Al and Si. The predicted bandwidths show good agreement with experimental results, wit

Domestic abuse among the elderly is an increasing social problem where research is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate whether social workers perceive that they possess and receive sufficient knowledge, organizational support, and professional development regarding elder abuse, as well as to explore collaboration with other organizations involved in addressing domestic violence. In t

Abstract This qualitative study explores how Swedish evening newspapers Aftonbladet and Expressen reported on former prince Andrew Mountbatten Windsor during his scandal regarding allegations of sexual harassment and rape. Through thematic content analysis, using Liz Kelly’s (1988) feminist framework on violence as a continuum and Swedish conventional practices and rules regarding media ethics, th

For a long time, alcohol has been an integrated social aspect of student life. Students’ relationships with alcohol can be highlighted by interpreting norms and other social factors related to alcohol consumption. This quantitative study focuses on understanding the connection between the use and consumption of alcohol within student culture in Sweden. Furthermore, how norms affect students and ho

800 år av industrihistoria i Ringsjöbygden med begynnelse i Lunds domkyrkas stenbehov vlket övergick i behovet av kvarnstenar. I synnerhet stenindustrin i Vittseröd har kunnat förljas från medeltid till 1910 då den avslutades samtidigt som verksamheten i Höör. Rikt illustrerad med bilder och kartmaterial

This contribution deals with a specific ritual expression among the Sámi, the bear grave.Brown bears were sacred in the Sámi society. They were hunted, killed, and then consumed duringa feast. All bones of the killed bear were afterwards collected and carefully buried. At present, in theSwedish part of Sápmi, we have evidence of definite Sámi bear graves going back in time for onethousand years.
