Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 20

The study aims to explore how female weightlifters discuss and question the discourse ”muscles are for men” and other assumptions about body and gender norms in strength training. The study focuses on how the accounts, through commentary and appearance, put themselves against traditional gender norms and how strength training operates as a norm-breaking practice. Further, the essay analyzes the wi

Progress in patient safety in healthcare has been frustratingly slow despite 20 years of intense effort. Recent literature suggests that current approaches inadequately address the complexity of healthcare, possibly explaining this lack of progress. What then sustains the current safety norm, sustaining a mismatched safety model in the face of challenge? This research project explores this issue

Under våren 2021, som konsekvens av att fem kvinnor dödades i Sverige av sin nuvarande/dåvarande partner, blossade både politiska och mediala diskussioner i samhället upp som rörde ämnet mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relation. Studien syftar till att med hjälp av metoden innehållsanalys analysera hur problem i rättsprocessen för mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relation skildras i myndighetsdokument jäIn the spring of 2021, there was an uprising in both politics and in media concerning men´s violence against women in Sweden. This was an effect risen from the cause of five female victims who met their death due to violence from their respective male partners/ex-partners in the interval of only three weeks. This study approaches how problems in the legal process of men´s domestic violence against

In this Master’s thesis an in-depth model of a shunt active filter for high frequency analysis is constructed. The purpose is to enable analysis of higher frequency behavior reaching 1MHz. Using the high frequency model, common mode currents can be simulated. The model is built using high frequency impedance measurements of the internal components in one of Comsys ABs active filters. The measure

The labor market for IT-oriented professions, especially software engineers, is characterized by extensive skills gaps due to fast-evolving technology. The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on the work toward closing the skills gap in IT-oriented professions, especially for software engineers, by providing suggestions on how the workforce can be prepared with the skills needed for tomorrow -

Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum

Sweden is actively seeking to scale up repair activities as part of its strategy to reduce waste, transition to a circular economy, and achieve zero net emissions by 2045. In the last couple of years, several new policies to promote consumer repairs have been adopted or proposed in Sweden. However, very little is known about the socio-cultural and individual factors that shape people's decisio

The rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is one of the most pressing matters right now. Before the industrial revolution, the atmosphere had a concentration of 0,02% which has increased to 0,04% due to human progress. This increase results in melting glaciers, ruined farmland, and more unpleasant consequences. Counter measures of today involve moving away from fossil fuels and relyin

Black carbon is an ever-growing global problem and one of the most important environmental issues of this generation. Black carbon, also known as soot, is a highly polluting substance and it is the second-largest polluter after carbon dioxide. BC consists of pure carbon in various forms and is produced by the incomplete combustion of fossil fuels, biofuels, and biomass. It is transported by air mo

In dynamically contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) mul-tiple images are generated for a single scan. Before further analysis can be done,the images needs to be registered. Traditional registration techniques can yieldimpressive results, but are often very computationally expensive.In this thesis a neural network model using spatial transformer networks isproduced. This model aim

The aim of this Master Thesis was to design, implement and test a slip controller for an electric three-wheeled motorcycle in order to prevent undesirable slip on the driving wheel during acceleration and regenerative braking. A PI controller was implemented for the two different cases and was tested through various experiments and driving conditions. Three different control strategies were also d

Climate change and biodiversity loss are amongst the most pressing environmental issues internationally, with far-reaching impacts that place natural and semi-natural habitats at ever greater risk of degradation. My project explores the effects of land-use on plant biodiversity in semi-natural grazing lands using datasets covering Sweden’s southernmost region, Scania. Comparative analyses were pe

Det har sagts att alla arkitekturepoker brukar nå sitt bottenmärke någonstans runt 30 år. Under en praktik på ett arkitektkontor upplevde jag det på egen hand när jag arbetade med ett område i Stockholm. Strategin för området är att riva stora delar av dess bebyggelse från 80- och 90-talet. Jag uppfattar strategin som ett uttryck för en allmän impopularitet av arkitekturen från denna period — den It has been said that all architectural eras tend to reach their lowest point of popularity somewhere in their 30s. During an internship, I experienced it first hand when I worked with an area in development in Stockholm. The strategy for the area was to demolish most of its buildings from the 1980s and 90s, buildings that are relatively young. I perceive the strategy as an expression for a genera

I samband med att aktiebolag utbjuds till försäljning ställs en rad olika juridiska spörsmål på sin spets. Inför en företagsöverlåtelse bör köparen genomföra en företagsbesiktning avseende målbolaget innan transaktionen genomförs. Vid denna undersökning har både köparen och säljaren ett intresse av att målbolaget lämnar ut värdefull information, som i vissa fall kan vara konfidentiell, för att görAs a limited company is subject to an acquisition several legal issues arise. In connection with the acquisition the buyer should therefore carry out a due diligence before the transaction is completed. Both the seller and the buyer have an interest of that the target company is sharing valuable information, which could be confidential, in order to make a correct valuation of the target company. T

This paper uses daily MSCI Sweden Index data to create one day out ES estimates on the $97.5\%$ percentile level for a SEK 100 portfolio. Thereafter the variables (i) the Riksbank's policy rate, (ii) the Riksbank's balance sheet, (iii) the cyclicality of GDP, and (iv) animal spirits are introduced and compared with ES. As the variables are thought to affect financial markets, they are eva

Mot bakgrund av ett ökat samarbete mot skatteplanering med ränteavdrag på den globala arenan fick Sverige nya skatteregler för företagssektorn innefattande bland annat generella ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler samt nya riktade ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler som träde i kraft den 1 januari 2019. Bakgrunden till det ökade internationella samarbetet mot skatteplanering med ränteavdrag har bland annat In light of increased international cooperation against tax planning with interest deductions Sweden has enacted major changes to its coroporate income tax rules which entered into force on January 1, 2019. The new tax rules include general interest deduction limitation rules and new targeted interest deduction limitation rules. One of the international organisations that has taken measures agains

År 2018 överlämnade regeringen lagrådsremissen Offentlighetsprincipen ska gälla i fristående skolor till Lagrådet. Innebörden av lagförslaget var i korthet att offentlighetsprincipen skulle börja gälla för huvudmän för fristående skolor samt att dessa huvudmän skulle jämställas med myndigheter genom en ny bestämmelse i 2 kap. Offentlighets- och sekretesslag (2009:400) (OSL). Även en förändring i 1In 2018, the government handed over the Law Council's referral that The Principle of Openness shall apply to independent schools to the Law Council. The referral included proposals that The Principle of Openness should be applied by principals of independent schools and that these principals should be equated with authorities through a new provision in the Public Access and Secrecy Act (OSL).
