The development of Artificial Intelligence(AI) and Machine Learning(ML) has highly increased over the past decades, with numerous research projects developing AI and ML models for clinical decision support. Many of these projects showcase promising results in the lab, however, when set in a real-life clinical setting most models perform significantly worse, resulting in only a few models transitio

Climate change is escalating. In the search for alternatives to fossil fuels, many countries are pushing green hydrogen as an energy vector. The development of a hydrogen economy is planned, and social and ecological consequences are at risk of being neglected. Namibia has excellent conditions for renewables and plans to be a major exporter of green hydrogen. Germany is set to import green hydroge

Mindfulness is not only relevant for enhancing humans’ well-being but also the well-being of our planet through pro-environmental behaviour. In recent years, this possible connection of mindfulness with pro-environmental behaviour has received increasing attention in research. I used Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, PsychInfo and PsychArticles via the EBSCO host to conduct a systematic literature r

In this thesis, I examine the political storytelling of the Sweden Democrats, a far-right populist party that has steadily gained political momentum in the past 15 years. Notably, they have positioned themselves as defenders of automobile society, a topic which has become increasingly prominent in Swedish political discourse. By using narrative analysis, this thesis aims to investigate how the Swe

Degrowth identifies capitalist colonial appropriation of the Global North as the driver for global environmental and social crises, calling for a new economy centred around human needs. Degrowth also proposes a societal transformation that requires a redefinition of human-nature relations. Industrial agriculture, dominated by profit-oriented multinationals, contributes to and intensifies existing

Den 1 februari 2024 trädde lagen om preventiva vistelseförbud i kraft. Lagen innebär i korthet att en person, utan att den begått ett brott eller är misstänkt för brott kan förbjudas att vistas inom ett avgränsat område om personen med- vetet främjar brottslighet som allvarligt kan skada tryggheten eller om det finns en påtaglig risk för användning av skjutvapen eller sprängämnen kan komma att anv1st of February 2024, the late concerning preventive visit ban was entered into force. In short, the law implies that a person, without having committed a crime or being suspected of a crime, can be banned from visiting a certain defined area if the person consciously promotes criminal acts that can seri- ously harm safety or if an obvious risk for use of firearms or explosives pre- vails. The mea

Hur kan vår vattenanvändning bli mer hållbar? Hur kan vi minska vår förbrukning av dricksvatten? Med stigande temperaturer, klimatförändringar och ökande befolkning blir dessa frågor allt viktigare. Ett förslag är att dra ner på vår dricksvattenkonsumption genom att använda regnvatten. Regnvatten kan användas till att spola i våra toalettstolar, till tvättmaskiner och till bevattning. Men hur kan How can our water consumption become more sustainable? How can our consumption of drinking water decrease? With increasing temperatures, climate changes, and population growth the questions becomes more important. To address this, a suggestion of reducing our drinking water consumption by utilizing rainwater is proposed. Rainwater can be used to flush our toilets, to wash clothes, and for irrigati

This research analyses how different food initiatives in Bogotá shape socio-nature relations through their food practices with the aim to realise the transformations they envision, advocate, and cultivate. Through a decolonial and relational approach, the study examines how these initiatives challenge the dominant food system's focus on economic values and instead advocate values based on care

I november 2023 presenterades en SOU som skulle se över hur sexköpslagen kan appliceras på onlineköp av sex. SOU:n kommer till följd av att nya former av sexköp, där även helt digitala former av sexköp, blivit vanligare. För andra bestämmelser i 6 kap. BrB förekommer redan en begreppsbildning som möjliggör lagföring vid sexualbrott utan fysisk kontakt mellan parterna. Vid ny kriminalisering ska kIn November 2023, a SOU was presented which reviewed how the Sex Purchase Act could be applied on online purchases of sex. The SOU came after new forms of commercial sex, including purely digital sex, became common. In other sections in ch. 6 the Criminal Code, concepts allow for prosecution of sex crimes without physical contact between the involved parties. In case of new criminalization, crim

Awareness and concern about environmental issues are rising globally, but research shows that increased awareness and concern does not necessarily lead to pro-environmental behavior. Cross-national studies found that countries’ economic and political context play an important role in the dynamic between awareness, concern and action. This research focuses on how environmental awareness, environmen

Termen ”ekonomiskt våld” är för många ett relativt okänt begrepp, vilket bara under de senaste åren har börjat leta sig in i media och den allmänna samhällsdebatten. Bland forskare betraktas det ekonomiska våldet som mycket allvarligt och framför allt som en stor riskfaktor för att våldsutsatta kvinnor ska stanna i en våldsam relation. I svensk rätt finns inget straffbud som uttryckligen tar siktThe term “economic violence” is a concept that is relatively unfamiliar to many, which only in recent years has begun to find its way into the media and the general social debate. Many researchers regard economic violence as a very serious issue and, above all, as a major risk that may cause women that are victims of domestic violence to stay in a violent relationship. In Swedish law, there are n

Förevarande uppsats syftar till att analysera godtagbarheten av en kriminali-sering av rymning från fängelse i svensk rätt. I den större delen av uppsatsen analyseras godtagbarheten utifrån de fem kriterier som satts upp i SOU 2013:38 Vad bör straffas? (Straffrättsutredningen). Därefter diskuteras huruvida det finns andra överväganden som behöver göras innan en eventuell kriminalisering beslutas. This essay aims to analyse the acceptability of a criminalisation of prison es-cape in Swedish law, based on the five criteria set out in SOU 2013:38 Vad bör straffas? (What should be punished?), called Straffrättsutredningen (The Criminal Justice Investigation). Furthermore, I discuss whether other consid-erations are needed before a criminalisation is decided. The discussions are based on the te

Avian blood parasites are common vector-transmitted protozoan parasites in wild birds and can cause acute and chronic infections in individuals at different life stages. These infections can have important effects on life-history trade-offs for the birds. In many avian species, infections with blood parasites happen during the nestling period, when dipteran biting insects have easy access to their

In northern Sweden, insectivorous bats must face challenging conditions throughout most of the year, with longer and colder winters compared to the south, and continuous daylight for several weeks during the summer. The northern bat (Eptesicus nilssonii) is common in Sweden, despite experiencing population declines over the last 30 years, and can be found at high latitudes across Europe. This stud
