In countries such as the U.S and Poland abortion laws have recently been made more restrictive, however this has not been the case in Sweden. The debate around abortion in Sweden quietened down after the law allowing abortion “on demand” was passed in 1974, but resurged during the 1990s with for example the group “Yes to life” (“Ja till livet”) organizing demonstrations. “Yes to life” mainly sprun

Cities and urban areas increasingly have to adapt to extreme weather events such as flooding, and droughts caused by climate change. In this context the interest for nature-based solutions has increased both within academia and political discourse. Nature-based solutions are widely understood as solutions and adaption measures inspired by or using nature while at the same time providing social, ec

Denna studie syftade till att undersöka vilka argument de boende i Nørrebro tillämpar i förhållande till användningen av visitationszoner i Danmark, samt hur dessa argument kan tolkas utifrån relevanta sociologiska teorier och tidigare forskning. Bakgrunden till studien är det eventuella införandet av visitationszoner i Sverige och den diskussion som uppstått angående dess effektivitet i arbetet m

This paper aims to contribute to the increasing popularity of machine learning in sports by predicting the winner in a tennis match using classification methods. The dataset used in this study spans a 10-year period and includes ATP singles matches from 2012 to 2022, with up to 49 explanatory variables. Six regression-based models were constructed and tested, all of which achieved an accuracy of a

Sedan ChatGPT lanserades fritt tillgängligt till världen har den gett stort inslag inom utbildningsområdet. Många nya möjligheter och utmaningar ställs fram och vissa lärosäten diskuterar hur det kan integreras i utbildningen samtidigt som andra är alltmer kritiska. Medan diskussionen är livlig saknas insikt i vad studenterna tycker och tänker. Syftet med denna studie är således att undersöka stud

This thesis aims to study obituaries in the Swedish newspaper 'Dagens Nyheter'. Newspapers are gathered from the years 1865 to 2010 with a 5-year interval and then categorized based on similarities between the issues. By approaching these categories with eye-tracking research and previous research on the cultural importance of obituaries, conclusions on the content, layout, and usage can b

Cross-professional teamwork has, according to prior studies, especially within human service organizations, shown to be a recurring theme, seemingly with the aim to provide a holistic approach to clients. Within school social work, such approaches are found to accommodate school pupils' complex problems that often go beyond one singular professional’s knowledge base. Furthermore, social polici

This study comprehensively evaluated the global warming potential of an office building in a newly built Scandinavian neighbourhood seeking to reach sustainability. The primary objective of the research was to support the city authorities of Helsingborg by providing valuable insights into actual carbon emissions at the building level and proposing measures to minimize these emissions to achieve cl

Throughout the years, Mérida has been subject of an outstanding growth, economically, socially and spatially. Starting from being a major Mayan civilization city, to a colonial Spanish settlement that grew into being the capital of the peninsula, it has always gone through changes and innovations according to the necessities of its inhabitants. By being the most secure and safe city in Mexico to

Studien undersöker integrationen av IoT-data i befintliga BI-system och dess relevans för kort- och långsiktiga beslut samt begränsningar som är förknippade med användningen av denna typ av data. IoT har blivit alltmer integrerat i organisationers verksamhet men forskningen kring dess relevans till BI-system är fortfarande begränsad. Genom intervjuer med olika organisationer och analys av insamlad

Behovet av att skapa hållbara och flexibla byggnader har vuxit under de senaste åren, inte minst för att möta högt uppsatta klimatmål. Utrymmena mellan byggnaderna, med andra ord utemiljöer, har regelbundet prioriterats sekundärt och anpassats i stor utsträckning efter det bebyggda behovet. Utemiljöer i urban kontext innehåller ofta mer eller mindre kollektiva varor, som är icke-exkluderbara och iThe need for sustainable and flexible buildings has grown in recent years in order to meet climate goals. However, outdoor environments have often been overlooked and is often strongly controlled by the built environment. These spaces hold significant social and ecological benefits but pose challenges for real estate companies as they lack direct financial returns. Well-designed outdoor environme

The Anatomy of Expectation. Dreams of Social Mobility in the Swedish Baltic Sea Area, 1680–1770 Social mobility in the early modern period has been subject to extensive research, often with an interest in quantities, ideologies, and strategies. The personal driving forces behind this mobility, on the other hand, remain obscure. Focusing on servants of the state in the Swedish Baltic Sea area betw

Utilizing the Double Machine Learning (DML) framework with both Partially Linear Regression (PLR) and Interactive Regression Models (IRM), this study examined the crucial role of parental education in the early detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Analysis was conducted on comprehensive data from the National Survey of Children's Health spanning the years 2017 to 2021. A significant ne

As for now, there is a need for more information and understanding about how variations in 316L steel affect the deformation of sheet steel to produce steel pieces. Therefore, this project aims to present the material's variation regarding chemical composition, mechanical properties and coil dimensions. Furthermore, experiments are conducted to evaluate the quality of deformed steel pieces and

The aim of this study was to investigate The Salvation Army's work with human trafficking for sexual purposes since it is a specialized organization in civil society that has a long history of working with this issue. Research shows that overall, the Swedish agencies neither have the competence, nor the knowledge, needed to meet the issue. We, as coming social workers wanted to investigate wha

Information and communication technology has emerged significantly over the past two decades. The ever-growing trade and monetization of digital encounters are likely to extend technology even more in the upcoming decades. Recent technological developments have brought various advantages worldwide, such as effective communication, increased production, and artificial intelligence, which can solve

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the techniques that scammers and scambaiters use in phone conversations to deceive each other and accomplish their respective goals. Seeing how the number of people losing money to scams continues to rise every year, there is an urgent need for more research to raise awareness of common scam tactics. It is also highly sociologically relevant to gain an

In this master’s thesis we propose a DensePose-based person re-identification (re-ID) machine learning algorithm building upon previous research on this topic. DensePose, a deep neural network that performs human body part segmentation on images, forms the foundation of our approach. We investigate whether utilization of DensePose can enhance performance on re-ID algorithms with the utilization of
