Denna uppsats jämför två politiska dokument, Alliansens valmanifest från 2006 med Tidöavtalet från 2022. Vår jämförelse kommer att fokusera på dels likheter och skillnader i de politiska förslagen som presenteras, dels ifall det har skett en ideologisk förändring i en liberal eller konservativ utveckling. Vår undersökning kommer fokusera på två politiska sakfrågor; sysselsättning, och lag och ordn
The purpose of this essay is to examine the ideological expressions in policies about the European Union for Swedish governments between 1991-2017. During this time both social democratic and center-right governments were in power and are therefore the subjects for this study. Through an ideology analysis and by establishing ideal types for the three ideologies examined; social democracy, liberali
Abstract The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how radical right-wing parties attract female votes, with a focus on the Swedish Democrats (SD) in Sweden. This party typically takes on a more critical approach against equality and their voters are mostly young, white men, which makes it interesting to study how they attract womens votes. By studying the Swedish Democratic women
This study aims to investigate how the former British colonies, Nigeria and Sierra Leone have developed after gaining independence and which factors have played the most significant role in their economic growth. The two countries have experienced different economic growth which justifies the purpose of the study. This will be conducted using a 'Most Similar Design System'. The goal of thi
Sverige och Norge är två av världens mest framstående länder inom biståndsarbete. Ländernas strategier har länge gemensamt benämnts "Nordiska modellen”, varvid intresse väcks i att undersöka skillnaderna i ländernas bistånd. Denna undersökning ämnar att genom en komparativ metod jämföra hur svenskt och norskt bistånd är organiserat, och hur detta påverkar deras internationella biståndsrelatio
Att undersöka fred och fredsfrämjande arbete blir allt viktigare i vår samtid. Med krig i vår närhet främjas idag en stark militär och en hård försvarspolitik och vägen mot fred och det fredsfrämjande arbetet undermineras. Denna studie undersöker våldets legitimitet i relation till könsmaktsordningen och försöker reda ut hur könsbaserade maktordningar påverkar fred som metod för konfliktlösning. U
ISIS committed mass atrocities against the Yazidis (Kurdish: Êzîdîs) in Sinjar (Kurdish: Şingal), Iraq, in 2014-2017. Several international and regional observers have qualified the acts as genocide under international law. Yet the numerous social, cultural, and political preconditions of the genocide are not recognized in the 1948 Genocide Convention. To answer the line of question, Susan Opotow’
This thesis investigates the possibility of leveraging eBPF to audit containerized workloads to produce data equivalent to AppArmor auditing, with the goal of later using that data to automatically generate AppArmor profiles to protect those workloads. The report presents several challenges posed by the restrictive nature of eBPF as well as how these challenges were addressed in the implementation
This thesis investigates how prominent political leaders construct perceptions of enemies during conflict. Using Schmitt’s Concept of the Political as a starting point, the study explores Julius Caesar’s and George W. Bush’s enemy portrayal of ‘Barbarians’ and ‘Islamic terrorists’. Utilizing a Thematic Analysis, the thesis has explored and compared the narratives of the two leaders during conflict
This study presents an in-depth exploration into the utilization of Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) for modeling and completing implied volatility surfaces within the context of the index equities market, a crucial aspect of option pricing. Moreover, our study examines the predictive capabilities of neural networks concerning fluctuations in spot prices, with a specialized spot model calibrated to
Since habitat loss has been a major threat to the European tree frog, conservation efforts are primarily focused on increasing the pond area by constructing new ponds and restoring the existing ones. However, emerging threats within the breeding habitats, such as the presence of highly competitive species, is important to consider. One such highly competitive species for the European tree frog in
The purpose of this thesis is to develop knowledge about visual information seeking and how it might be affected by socio-technical circumstances, with its focus on GeoGuessr players’ research through Google Street View. The study asks two research questions: 1. How do GeoGuessr players use Google Street View to do research? and 2. How can Google Street View’s socio-technical circumstances affect
To escape competition for food, South African dung beetles roll balls away from the dung pile of origin along straight-line paths. To keep their desired courses, the beetles rely on flexible integration of external orientation cues. This supports robust orientation even under challenging daytime conditions. Here, I studied the orientation precision driven by this flexible cue integration in the du
This thesis investigates the application of the Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song (CKKS) scheme in designing a privacy-preserving biometric authentication system in line with ISO 24745:2022 standard. Utilizing the Microsoft SEAL library the thesis integrates state-of-the-art facial recognition models to design client-to-cloud and cloud-to-client authentication systems. The solution is implemented in C++ and is t
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Ett övergripande mål inom förlossningsvården är att mor och barn ska må bra och att kvinnan ska få en positiv förlossningsupplevelse och en förlossning med så få interventioner som möjligt. Enligt kompetensbeskrivning för legitimerad barnmorska ska barnmorskan ha kompetens att bedöma förlossningens progress och identifiera avvikelser samt bedöma behov av vårdåtgärder. Det vanli
The harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is elusive and challenging to study. Recent reports indicate negative population trends in the Belt Sea population, which is found around the peninsula of Kullaberg in southern Sweden. In this study, the driving factors of the small-scale distribution of porpoises around Kullaberg were investigated by use of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Over 17 weeks f
This thesis investigates how young men who have completed military service emotionally navigate within the discourse of the duty to potentially kill or die for the nation. With a poststructuralist point of departure and a feminist theoretical framework of militarisation, this study explores how a militarised discourse of life and death becomes meaningful for its subjects. Employing an interpretati
This study examines the relationship between various types of external support and the duration of intrastate conflicts. Between 1975 and 2017, the majority of conflicts received external support in one shape or form and the effects of internationalising conflicts through the provision of external support are multiple. Existing literature has found that external involvement generally prolongs the
