Debt can create a significant barrier for individuals attempting to leave a criminal lifestyle, yet how debt is experienced at an individual level has remained relatively unexplored. The overall aim of this mixed-methods study was to examine how individuals attempting to leave a criminal lifestyle experience, give meaning to, and manage debt. The quantitative study was based on a total population

Motivet och syftet med detta examensarbete är att, genom en studie, undersöka och kartlägga de byggnadstekniska och regulatoriska förutsättningarna för adaptiv återanvändning av kontor till bostäder. Målet är att bidra med akademisk kunskap kring hur övergången till Boverkets nya byggregler påverkar de tekniska och rumsliga hindren vid en konvertering. Arbetet ämnar besvara vilka de primära byggnaThe motive and purpose of this thesis are to investigate map, through a feasibility study, the structural and regulatory conditions for the adaptive reuse of offices into housing. The objective is to contribute academic knowledge regarding how the transition to Boverkets new building regulations affects the technical and spatial obstacles during a conversion. The thesis examines what the primary s

Denna studie undersöker hur människor tolkar och skapar mening inom true crime-genren. För att få en djupare insikt i förståelsen av true crime har en kvalitativ ansats med tio semistrukturerade intervjuer genomförts med personer som aktivt konsumerar genren. Studiens teoretiska ramverk bygger på Erving Goffmans Frame Analysis (ramanalys), som används för att analysera hur social verklighet organi

Loneliness affects over one in five people worldwide, yet how it is experienced is shaped by social and cultural context in ways that research has only partially examined. For men, norms surrounding masculinity, emphasising emotional stoicism, self-reliance and the avoidance of vulnerability, create specific conditions under which loneliness develops, goes unacknowledged, and resists being address

The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers within child and youth protection services experience opportunities for recovery during sick leave and vacation, and how workload affects recovery in relation to absence from work. A qualitative approach was applied using semi-structured interviews with six social workers from different parts of Scania, Sweden. The empirical material was

This study aims to examine how foreign-born women describe their experiences of language acquisition, interactions with public authorities, and opportunities for labour market participation in Sweden. Through qualitative interviews with women participating in Interkultur’s activities, the study explores how their linguistic, cultural, and social resources shape their integration processes. The ana

Denna studie undersöker hur konsumenter upplever etablerade modeföretags second hand-initiativ i relation till deras befintliga uppfattningar om varumärkesimage och företagens hållbarhetskommunikation. Studien ämnar vidare bidra till en fördjupad förståelse för hur konsumenters tidigare associationer till varumärken formar deras tolkning av och förtroende för pre-loved-initiativ, med fokus på fråg

This study aimed to explore how social workers view nature-based therapy and how it can help people with mental health issues in a Swedish context. To better understand restorative social work using nature, we examined the limitations, benefits, and opportunities that social workers perceive when using nature-based therapy in their profession. We did this through semi-structured interviews with si

Keyword spotting (KWS) is an essential function in always-on voice-interface systems,where a low-power detector continuously monitors audio streams and activates subsequent speech-processing modules only when a target keyword is detected. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a 40 nm CMOS ultralow- power KWS accelerator that integrates a Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) front-

The rapid growth of photovoltaic (PV) deployment has raised concerns about the management of end-of-life PV modules, particularly crystalline silicon (c-Si) technologies approaching the end of their service life. Although PV systems contribute to renewable electricity generation, the increasing number of ageing modules poses environmental, technical, and resource-related challenges regarding wheth

Network cameras observe physical spaces but lack an inherent understanding of the scenes they see. This thesis presents a pipeline for floor and wall instance segmentation from a single uncalibrated RGB image, requiring no scene-specific prior information such as camera intrinsics, depth sensors, floor plans, or labelled floor and wall data for training. The detected instances are intended to supp

In multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the spectral overhead required by orthogonal Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) limits overall system capacity. Traditional linear estimators experience severe degradation under high pilot sparsity or non-orthogonal superposition. To address these limitations, this thesis proposes a Physics-Guided

Tänk på hur kombinationen av ingredienser och matlagningstekniker påverkar smaken på din fredagstacos och hur lång tid den tar att laga och bygga ihop. På samma sätt kommer en produkts design att påverka dess funktion, tillverkningstid och monteringstid. Ju mer komplicerad design, desto längre och dyrare kommer det att bli tillverka produkten. Därför ligger det i varje företags intresse att förenkThis project aimed to redesign a ratcheting tool used for industrial door installation and to evaluate whether selected design for manufacturing and assembly methods were beneficial for the design development. The tool design went through three design iterations following a general concept development methodology, with the aim to minimise the amount of parts and unique manufacturing methods and

This thesis documents the design and fabrication of ceramic loudspeaker horns using slip casting and digital fabrication tools, and evaluates their acoustic performance against geometrically equivalent 3D printed PLA reference horns. Two horn profiles were developed and realised through a workflow combining mathematical profile generation, CAD modelling, 3D printing, and slip casting. The acousti

Denna masteruppsats gjordes I samarbete med ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. Målet var att hitta lösningar för att öka effektiviteten vid installationer av deras SL500-skjutdörr. Eftersom ingen problemformulering eller specifikt fokusområde gavs gällande installationsprocessen utvecklades projektet konstant vartefter vi fick ytterligare insikter gällande installationsprocessen. I takt med att olika prThis master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. The aim was to find solutions for increasing the efficiency of the installation of their SL500 sliding door. With no given problem within the installation process, or specific part to focus on, the project evolved as more insights were gained into the installation process. As different problems emerged the project

This thesis assesses the efficiency of the EU Law’s balancing act between the software developers’ copyright protection on their respective computer programs and the software users’ right to repair their defected software based devices. This research necessitates an EU legal method, implying the comprehensive analysis of EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union

This study aims to explore how the relationship to pain and the body can differ in different context, and how the relationship to pain can change depending on how you interact and engage with it. The foundation of this study is the accounts from nine semi-structured interviews with BDSM practitioners living with chronic pain, this study focuses on the internal processes of embodiment as well as ho

Uppsatsen undersöker det lokala fenomenet "G-rundan" i Malmö. Den tittar på fenomenet utifrån dess deltagare och hur fenomenet skapar ett gemenskap, samt hur det står i konflikt med boende och Malmö stad i relation till det urbana rummet. Gemenskapen som fenomenet skapar och konflikten om stadens rum analyseras genom att applicera Beckers begrepp moraliska entreprenörer och Lefebvres tri
