Honor is not formally defined as a legal category in Swedish law, yet it is invoked in court reasoning as both a motive and an aggravating circumstance. In recent years, legal measures have been introduced in Sweden to identify and address honor-based violence (HBV), and since 1 July 2020, increased penalties of crimes committed with an honor motive. At the same time, concerns have been raised tha
This thesis examines to what extent, and in what ways, voluntary prison labor in the Dutch carceral system is part of the fabrication of social order. The fabrication of social order is defined by Mark Neocleous as a massive policing operation by the state to manage the insecure, yet integral heart of the social order, poverty, by enforcing wage labor and domination by capital. Since 2021, prison
This thesis examines how safety is governed in urban policy by analysing the municipality of Groningen’s renewed Actieplan Veilig Uitgaan 2025. Bacchi’s What is the problem represented to be? (WPR) approach is applied to deconstruct how the action plan represents safety as a governance problem, what assumptions make this representation possible, and what is left unproblematised. The analysis draws
This thesis examines the "pan-Asianization" of Chinese restaurants in southern Sweden, the phenomenon of expanding Chinese menus to include sushi or Thai dishes. It aims to explore how this transformation develops under specific institutional pressures and how immigrant entrepreneurs balance economic survival with cultural identity. Adopting ethnographic fieldwork in southern Sweden
Drawing on 8 semi-structured interviews, this thesis explores how self-described feminist men in Sweden negotiate the interplay between their positions as men and feminists, as well as how this process is facilitated and challenged by broader cultural discourses of masculinity and feminism. Specifically, thorough attention is given to the "uniqueness" of the Swedish case, as discourses t
A lot of previous research has studied the effect that social capital has on trust in the police and describe a person's social network as an important part in deciding the level of social capital, but none have analyzed social relationships and interactions by itself. This study examines the association between social relationships and interactions, generalized trust and trust in the police i
Syftet med denna studie var att samla in utökad referensdata till SVenskt Artikulations- och NasalitetsTEst (SVANTE), specifikt för skånska tioåriga barn. Deltagargruppen bestod av 22 barn (13 flickor och 9 pojkar) från Malmöområdet, utan någon läpp-käk-gomspalt. Barnen testades med SVANTE och bedömningar gjordes av andel korrekta orala konsonanter (AKOK), procent korrekta konsonanter (PCC), hyper
This thesis examines how private specialist clinics pursue long-term organic growth in regulated healthcare markets, using Nova Psykiatri, a Swedish provider of neuropsychiatric assessments, as a single revelatory case. The study addresses a gap at the intersection of organic growth theory, institutional theory, and private specialist care. Existing growth mode research assumes conditions of relat
Through in-depth qualitative interviews with 17 men and one woman, this thesis investigates masculinity and ‘honor’ in the daily lives of Iranian-Swedish men living in Skåne. The aim of this thesis is to study the men’s description of ‘honor’ and the situations in which it appears as masculine practices in everyday life. For this purpose, a theoretical framework including theories of masculinities
Kolabacken är en liten gräsbevuxen kulle nära den södra spetsen av Falsterbohalvön i sydvästra Skåne. Platsen är känd som den tidigare fyrplatsen i Falsterbo där en s.k. vippfyr hjälpte fartyg att navigera längs den grunda och farliga kusten innan den nuvarande fyren byggdes år 1795. Trots Falsterbos betydelse för sjöfart och handel under medeltiden har Kolabackens uppkomst, inre uppbyggnad och hiKolabacken is a small grass-covered mound near the southern tip of the Falsterbo Peninsula in southern Sweden. The site is known as the former beacon at Falsterbo, where a so-called tilting beacon helped ships navigate along the shallow and dangerous coast before the present lighthouse was built in 1795. Although Falsterbo’s importance for maritime traffic and trade during Medieval times is well k
The Swedish Sea Rescue Society’s (SSRS) maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) op- erations can be enhanced through the use of fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which offer extended range and rapid area coverage. However, recovering such aircraft aboard small, moving rescue vessels remains a significant challenge due to continuous wave-induced motion (pitch, roll, and yaw) and the absence of c
The recent development of metal additive manufacturing has opened up new opportunities for component design, enabling the production of more complex structures than previously possible. This newfound freedom can be exploited to reduce mass, improve structural performance and adapt the geometry to specific requirements. Topology optimization is an effective tool for utilizing this design freedom, a
In the natural sciences, there are many processes involving the loss of tension in a stretched membrane. Thus, one can ask what would happen to a stretched membrane from which certain parts have been removed. One would see that overlapping parts result in some region of the membrane losing tension. Then, if one considers any part that loses tension to also be removed from the membrane, this newly
This thesis examines how international legal discourse within the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) constructs and distributes legality, legitimacy, and responsibility in debates concerning Israel-Palestine. The study argues that legal exceptionalism does not primarily operate through the formal suspension of international law, but through the discursive pre-structuring of actors as different
Companies continuously seek to improve both operational efficiency and financial performance. To support operations and enable investments, capital is required. An important consideration is capital binding, which refers to the amount of capital tied up within the business and the duration for which it remains tied up. While capital binding is often associated with inventory levels, it emerges thr
Falsterbonäset är ett låglänt kustområde med hög sårbarhet för översvämning vid stigande havsnivåer och framtida stormhändelser. Som skydd mot detta anläggs ett 21 kilometer långt översvämningsskydd bestående av skyddsvallar och murar med en krönnivå på +3,0 m i RH2000. Föreliggande studie analyserar skyddsvallens sårbarhet genom att kombinera beräkningar av vågöverspolning med experimentell utvär
Denna artikel granskar kritiskt Svenska kyrkans förhållningssätt till migranters integration utifrån kontextuell teologi och pedagogisk teori. Med utgångspunkt i tre års etnografiskt fältarbete med en bibelstudiegrupp bestående av ensamkommande afghanska ungdomar, kontrasteras två pedagogiska modeller: en monologisk, assimilationsinriktad modell och en dialogisk, deltagarbaserad modell inspirerad
In today’s largely market-based global economy, financial markets such as stock and bond markets play an increasingly important role. As a result, an understanding of the workings of the modern market economy almost certainly requires knowledge of the basic functions of financial markets.Finance – Markets, Instruments & Investments provides a comprehensive yet relatively short and non-technica
