Cannabis is a well-debated topic in contemporary society where globally, several countries have legalized or decriminalized cannabis use in recent years. Yet Sweden remains a country that distances itself from such decriminalization policies and has long enforced a prohibitionist approach to drugs and drug use. The qualitative study presented here examines and compares university and police studen

Current cancer treatments can be non-specific, aggressive, and often lead to poor quality of life due to significant side effects. There is a dire need for personalised medicine and accurate tumour subtyping, particularly with cancers with high levels of heterogeneity. Spatial omics is transforming the way in which we understand and treat cancer, paving the way for more patient-specific treatments

Inom ramen av Big Data och användning av AI-teknik så har vi nu möjlighet att automatisera komplexa uppgifter genom att samla in, dela och behandla inhämtade data. Dataanalys öppnar upp möjligheten att låsa upp enorm potential inom de flesta branscher. Samtidigt råder osäkerhet kring juridiska rättigheter kopplat till ägande av data vilket föranleder att företag väljer att inte delta fullt ut i maWithin the framework of Big Data and the use of AI technologies we now possess the ability to automate complex tasks through collecting, sharing, and processing the collected data. Analysis of data can unlock enormous potential within most fields. Meanwhile, legal uncertainty in data ownership rights causes businesses to not fully participate in the data sharing market. In this context this thesis

This paper will examine if U.S. foreign aid to Colombia had any effect on unemployment rates in the country from 2000-2008. The anti-drug policy Plan Colombia’s success will be assessed and how the policy, which consisted of military and social aid, was able to reduce unemployment numbers. The analysis will be a case study using a qualitative method of interpreting trends from longitudinal and cro

Sandstränder utgör en stor del av Ystads kust och används flitigt för bad och hundpromenader och är en stor del av kommunens turism. Förutom att glädja besökare fungerar de även som skydd mot översvämningar och hindrar havet från att nå vägar och byggnader vid högvatten eller stormar. I takt med klimatförändringarna finns det ett ökat hot för att stränderna ska erodera bort, genom att sand transpoThe coast of Ystad municipality has historically been subject to erosion, leading to the loss of recreational areas and near-beach structures, consequently resulting in the implementation of mitigating measures. With the ongoing climate change, erosion is expected to continue. This generates a need for a better understanding of sediment dynamics and sediment transport patterns, in order to further

This thesis seeks to determine whether it is possible to strike a regulatory balance between satisfying the interests derived from individuals' right to privacy and states' defence of national security. However, the goal of this work is not to conduct an abstract analysis of the interrelations of these, sometimes conflicting, interests but to find practical solutions to a present issue, th

Deformationszonen kallad ”Frontal wedge” är ett system av N-S branta och vertikala deformationszoner i gränsen mellan Svekonorvegiska och Sekorareliska provincen, i södra Sverige. Ursprung av dessa strukturer är inte fullt förstått och under de senaste årtiondena har endast ett fåtal undersökningar gjorts på dessa deformationszoner. Det finns flera olika tolkningar och modeller för bildandet av stThe Frontal wedge is a system of N-S trending steep to vertical deformation zones at the border between the Sveconorwegian and Svecokarelian provinces in south-central Sweden. The origin of these structures is not fully understood and few investigations have been done on these deformation zones during the past decades. There are various interpretations of and models for the formation of the struct

The purpose of this study is to investigate which role TikTok plays in the increased consumption of fast fashion. The study also aims to investigate TikTok’s role in the creation of new fashion trends. TikTok is one of the leading social media platforms for today’s young adults. Social media has in recent years had a big impact on consumer behaviour and the fashion industry, largely due to widespr

Following the associated lockdown measures of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, the world economy started facing inflationary pressures from a surge in energy prices and supply chain disruptions at the end of 2021. Given the economic environment with low inflation and expansionary monetary policy following the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), central banks around the world have built up large balance sh

The purpose is to investigate what the next generation of employees prefer and expect, to be satisfied and motivated at work. It should also be shown, what they prioritise, when comparing two different items. This provides insights into what newer generations expect and what it means in terms of the use of management control to support and enhance employee ́s motivation and satisfaction. This rese

Video games Perception (2017) and A Blind Legend (2015) are both connected to blindness, though in two distinct ways. While in both games the player embodies a blind narrator, Perception is, in many ways, what we expect a video game to be: visual, while A Blind Legend is an audio game, exploring methods to navigate other than visual. While problematising ocularcentrism, this thesis investigates th

The purpose of this paper is to explore what kind of effect mental training and physical activity can have on a musician’s daily life and performance. In order to answer my question, I have conducted interviews with working musicians who work in different fields such as elementary school, university, one-on-one teaching and orchestra musicians, where I asked them about their experience with mental

This thesis examines the interactions and role-changings between the LGBTQIA+ community and the creative industries in Guangzhou, China. Following Florida’s (2003) creative capital theory, and Badgett, Waaldijk, and Rodgers’s (2019) study on LGBT inclusion and economic development, involving semi-structured interviews with LGBTQIA+ individuals working or studying in the creative industries. This q

he late visionary architect Lebbeus Woods once said; "We inhabit space in which we are not sure how to move". With increasing environmental destruction and rising see levels we might soon be forced to literally inhabit space, in which we definitely are not sure how to move. Astronauts have continously reported problems with orienting in space and of unhomely space interiors. So, what wou

New digital technologies may offer a wide range of opportunities for humanitarian action. Digital technologies also irrevocably changed how we problematize, assess, understand, and design humanitarian responses to crises. Within this digital transformation, new technologies increasingly occupy a central role in the humanitarian response and have been changing even the meaning of humanitarian inter

This paper sets out to investigate trends and regional differences in breast cancer incidence, in the 21 regions of Sweden between the years 1970 and 2020. Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women, accounting for around 30% of all cases. The National Board of Health and Welfare estimates that 1 in 10 women will experience breast cancer before the age of 75. This has significant pub

This study investigates the relationship between tax avoidance and corporate responsibility measured through ESG ratings among Swiss listed companies between 2010 and 2019. In the first part of the analysis, the aim is to identify whether Swiss firms provide evidence for the corporate culture theory, which considers that tax payments and CSR/ESG activities are complements, or for the risk manageme
