Despite a global increase in gender equality, intimate partner violence (IPV) still plagues all nations. Moreover, IPV is still a heavily stereotyped crime where women are victims and men are perpetrators. Due to the gendered nature of IPV, information that either conforms or deviates from gender expectations can change the perceptions of perpetrators and victims of IPV. The present study investig

The purpose of this study is to investigate how three Swedish authorities - the National Board of Health and Welfare, the Swedish Psychological Defense Agency (MPF), and the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) - have handled the disinformation campaign against the social services. This study is based on a qualitative method and the empirical part is characterized by thematic document analysis

Aktionsforskning är en forskningsstrategi som utgår från verkliga problem i praktiska verksamheter och sker i samarbete mellan forskare och praktiker. Det finns kritiker mot aktionsforskning som hävdar att den inte når upp till vetenskapliga krav (Helskog, 2014, s.11). Exempel på sådana krav är generaliserbarhet och objektivitet. Försvarare av aktionsforskning hävdar att det är den forskningsansat

Climate issues are currently of attention in various contexts as changing climate factors affect us in many ways. One of these effects is the influence on the probability and frequency of fires, although other factors, especially anthropogenic ones, also play a role. In the Diyarbakir region, a Kurdish-Turkish province affected by the PKK's conflict (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan - Kurdistan Work

The significance of access to education has, like women’s role in peacebuilding, previously been examined in various studies. However, the relationship between these two has rarely been touched upon. Particularly the discipline of Sociology of Law has been observed to discuss the topics in separate academic discussions. Hence, findings in accordance with my study have revealed that there is no res

Introduction: Identification and quantification of OxPCs and LPCs in the lung surfactant with non-invasive sampling techniques and validated analytical methods are of great importance in terms of exploring biomarkers of oxidative stress in lung and other lung related diseases. Background: Although there are some well-structured analytical methods for the detection and quantification of OxPCs, the

The archaeological traditions of the Viking Age have a complex history. Some of it has been nationalist in orientation, at times constructing proud historical narratives reflecting ownership in and continuity of the past. These narratives conflict with increasing population diversity in the Scandinavian nations, where contemporary identity politics grapple with real and imagined realities of im

Som ett led i Sveriges bidrag till en minskad klimatpåverkan ska miljarder investeras i gröna industrisatsningar i Norrland. Samhällsomvandlingen kräver att invånarantalet ökar och att det byggs mer. Och för byggnationer krävs det yrkesarbetare i form av bland annat snickare, betongare, murare som det redan idag är en brist på marknaden. Yrkesarbetaryrket måste vara ett attraktivt val för dagens u

The main factors for usage of Induction assisted machining of Manganese steel were identified in this project. The testing environment to evaluate performance of the high frequency coils for turning and milling was created. The characteristics of the material that we are working with were measured. Such variables as the cutting speed, feed rate, area to be heated and the time of the heating on the

This study argues that shame and negative feelings such as fear and envy are central in contemporary lesbian music despite the dominant academic narrative that depressing lesbian music was left behind at the turnover to queer theory and culture in the 1990s. Lesbian shame is an area of study that has been overlooked by queer theory despite a consensus that gay and queer shame are important. This p

A growing trend within the technologies acting as enablers for 6g, such as Massive MIMO and Large Intelligence Surfaces, is benefiting from both the communication and the positioning aspects that they can provide. As these kinds of systems are employing a large number of arrays which provide high amounts of data, a distributed hardware approach having near-antenna processing is explored in this wo

I denna uppsats i sociologi belyses problematiken kring gängkriminalitet i Göteborgs Stad. Syftet med studien är att skapa en förståelse och insikt i hur Göteborgs Stad arbetar förebyggande och vilka insatser som genomförs, samt att se vilken typ av samverkan som finns. Detta för att kunna föreslå vidare åtgärder i stadens arbete med utsatta områden och gängkriminalitet som fenomen. För att kunna

Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely adopted for identity verification in various applications. Palm biometrics, utilizing the unique patterns of the human palm, has gained significant attention for its accuracy and security. This thesis aims to investigate and propose a comprehensive design for certain as- pects of a contactless palm print recogniImproving Contactless Palm Print Recognition Technology Biometric technologies, such as facial and fingerprint recognition, have become widely used for identity verification in various applications. An- other promising biometric solution is palm biometrics, which utilizes the unique patterns found on the human palm for accurate and secure iden- tification. This thesis focuses on investigating and

Digitalisering är en global megatrend som revolutionerar samtliga aspekter av samhället och påverkar i synnerhet företag. Följaktligen har termen Industri 4.0 vuxit inom tillverkningsindustrin. Tillverkningsföretag tillägnar sig i allt större utsträckning digital teknik för att förbättra sina tillverkningsprocesser, underlätta strategiskt beslutsfattande och bli mer hållbara. Skiftet mot en mer diDigitalisation is a global megatrend revolutionising every aspect of society and especially impacting businesses. Consequently, the term Industry 4.0 has emerged in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve manufacturing processes, inform strategic decision- making and become more sustainable. The change towards a more digital man

Land use change is a factor not often considered when modeling river discharge in regard to future flood risk. The restoration of wetlands is an ongoing land use change which affects water storage capacity in the soils of a catchment and could lead to lower flows in rivers. This study analysed the effect of an increased wetland area on river discharge in the Bråån catchment in Skåne, Sweden. D

Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach

There is currently a shift in the healthcare sector moving towards remote monitoring, meaning that monitoring of diseases and other issues is moving out of hospitals and into people's homes with the use of medical technology. One of the fastest-growing at-home monitoring solutions is the ECG device, especially due to the fact that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwid

This project delves into the 3D reconstruction of both single and multiple rigid motions, examining the potential of deep learning methods, such as that proposed by Moran et al., to supplant traditional geometry-based approaches. The project is structured into two main parts. In the first part, we focus on the 3D reconstruction of a single rigid motion, building on the work of Moran et al. In add

Carbon storage capacity estimations of terrestrial vegetation are necessary to understand the limit of possible carbon emissions. General approximations, of a landscapes carbon pool capacity, can be performed using the InVEST-model. It estimates the carbon pool storage of a landscape, based on land use land cover classes, which this thesis aims to test on the highay-ancillary environment of th
