USA invaderade Irak 2003 och i samband med denna invasion tog de över Abu Ghraib-fängelset, som ligger strax utanför Irakiska huvudstaden Baghdad. 2004 spreds en del bilder i medier runt om i världen, och dessa bilder visade irakiska fångar torterade och förnedrade av amerikanska soldater. Jag skrev denna studie för att studera amerikanska soldaters behandling av manliga irakiska fångar i samband

Under våren 2022 genomförde anställningsskyddslagen en förändring och den svenska arbetsrätten anses vara reformerad. En förändring av den svenska arbetsrätten har inte varit så omfattande sedan anställningsskyddslagen infördes 1973. Arbetsmarknaden präglas av kraven på flexibilitet och rörlighet samtidigt som anställningsskyddet behöver vara en trygghet för arbetstagare. Den svenska arbetsmarknadIn the spring of 2022, the Employment Protection Act implements a change and Swedish labor law is considered reformed. The transformation of Swedish labor law has not been as extensive since the introduction of the Employment Protection Act in 1973. The labor market is characterized by demands for flexibility and mobility, while employment protection needs to provide security for employees. The Sw

Syftet med den här undersökningen var att utveckla en förståelse för hur väl digitala lärresurser fungerar för elever på gymnasiets yrkesprogram. Enligt begreppet ”Digital Natives” skulle eleverna inte uppleva några problem alls, vilket visade sig inte vara fallet. Undersökningen realiserades genom en enkät som genomfördes på två olika gymnasieskolor med fem delvis olika klasser. Enkäten bestod av

When looking from the outside, Sweden is an exceptional country, with a tradition of neutrality and no notable colonial past; but history paints a different picture. This thesis investigates the portrayal of Sweden and the impact of narratives of Swedish exceptionalism in the Historiska Museet in Stockholm, through the analysis of the depiction of Swedish colonial history and Human Rights discours

Målet med detta arbete var att utveckla en prototyp av en kostnadseffektiv pulsgivare till motorerna för ASSA ABLOYs snabbrullduksportar. Pulsgivaren ger återkoppling till de automatiska dörrarnas kontrollsystem och ska göra detta på ett tillförlitligt sätt samtidigt som de ska vara mer kostnadseffektiva än de nuvarande lösningarna som används på ASSA ABLOY. Utöver detta ger en egen produkt företaThe goal of this thesis was to develop a prototype of a cost effective encoder unit for the motors of ASSA ABLOY high speed doors. The encoder will provide feedback for the automatic doors control system and has to do so reliably while being more cost effective than the current solutions used by ASSA ABLOY as well as giving the company more control over the value chain. Multiple encoder technologi

With countries across the world finding pathways to counter CO2 emissions, sustainable mobility has become a critical topic for leaders, policymakers, and industries. The development of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV’s) is seen as an important and effective way through which reliance on fossil fuels and thereby related CO2 emissions can be reduced. Statistics show that the number EV’s on the roads

Purpose – This study explores the underlying motives of individuals who have decided to stop flying for environmental reasons – hereinafter the non-flyers. We address this as an anti-consumption phenomenon that has increased traction in recent years due to the ever-increasing concern around environmental issues and their implications for the well-being of societies and the planet. In doing so, we

In this work, different solutions for human presence detection in a door intercom device are examined. The study was conducted at a company in Lund, Sweden. The aspiration was to have a reliable presence detection to be able to put the device in sleep mode when not used, and the current solution is not optimal because of limiting design requirements and false triggers. In the project, several diff

Keywords: Period and Fertility Tracking Apps (PFTAs), Consumer Culture Theory, Feminist Surveillance, Governmentality, Discourse, Biopower, Foucault, Self-Tracking, Gender, Manipulation, Empowerment Thesis Purpose: This research investigates how consumers navigate the consumption of PFTAs as an empowering and manipulating practice. Consequently, this thesis aims at contributing to consumer cultur

The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the increasing pace and intensity of climate-related shocks have driven the emergence of international interest around the role of national social protection systems for shock-responsiveness. An increasing number of already vulnerable people is in need of humanitarian assistance, risking to fall into poverty and malnutrition. In this context, predictable n

Purpose: The purpose of this research was to investigate how outdoor textile brands align their brand bdentity with their management actions and communication to become more circular. It was as a consequence explored how communication strategies of outdoor brands align with their management decision and how management actions push the transition of a brand towards more circularity. Methodology: Th

In the current European context, the cross-border cooperation ensures free movement, and barriers at borders would not hinder economic flows and citizen's mobility. The border regions featuring high levels of cooperation across the border line usually display decentralizations of national power as the local municipalities play a central role in decision making, which corresponds to the structu

The informal waste sector (IWS) is a global phenomenon involving millions of people engaged in waste management across various industries. Informal waste workers (IWWs) face social issues and lack recognition as legitimate workers, leading to exploitation and limited access to social protection. Despite their crucial role in reducing waste and contributing to a circular economy, IWWs often lack th

Zambia has one of the highest levels of child poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, child poverty remains an understudied area and the determinants thereof are not well understood. This dissertation aims to bridge this gap by identifying the determinants of multidimensional child poverty through the estimation of a probit model using LCMS 2015 data. The findings of this study highlight several k

The goal of this paper is to examine the relationship between democracy and socio-economic development in Argentina. Argentina was chosen due to its dynamic political history, and because economically it is a unique country, having faced strong economic decline last century. The literature on democracy shows that the level of democracy should not matter for economic development, whereas the durabi

Landslides pose a significant risk to human life and infrastructure, especially in Italy, which has a high frequency of landslide occurrences. To mitigate these hazards, Landslide Susceptibility Mapping (LSM) is crucial for identifying risk areas and developing appropriate mitigation strategies. Various methodologies have been adapted to perform LSM, with machine learning models seeing a rise in p

This study evaluates the impact of expellee migration on urban labor markets in West Germany in the 1950s. By utilizing newly digitized data and empirically accounting for the spatial context, the results show that the migration of expellees played a significant role in accelerating sectoral change, while cities with a high initial inflow were impeded in the pace of sectoral change. The study ther

This thesis explores the impact of community and individual shocks on children’s time use and aims to determine if and under what conditions households use child labor as a response to shocks. For this purpose, four survey rounds of a panel of Ethiopian children aged 5 to 15 are analysed. To address endogeneity problems and to overcome issues related to the data acquisition process, both a fixed e
