Cultural institutions such as museums and art galleries are important agents in educating the broader public on matters where current awareness is missing, inadequate or inaccurate. In this study, I focus on one such matter, which is the knowledge regarding ethnic minorities, their history, traditions, and current challenges. My primary focus is on how cultural institutions utilise their exhibitio

Data augmentation is a concept which is used to improve machine learning models for computer vision tasks. It is usually done by firstly, defining a set of functions which transforms images and secondly, applying a random selection of these functions on the images. Since the quality of training data is one of the, if not the most important factor to obtain a good model, this master thesis poses th

Insects are vital for the environment and biodiversity. Optics-based remote techniques can quickly and effectively identify and track insects in their natural habitat. This has the potential to speed up and improve the time-consuming process of manually monitoring insect diversity. This thesis presents a method to remotely sense insects by analyzing the sunlight reflected by free-flying insects. T

Den här uppsatsen går igenom Autonoma militära system och dess unika utmaningar för den internationella rätten.

Gambling problems often coexist with various psychopathological conditions. The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP; Kotov et al., 2017) offers an empirically based model to structure psychopathological symptoms into broader dimensional spectra, including internalizing (anxious-depressive), externalizing (impulsive-aggressive), and thought disorder (dissociated-psychotic) symptoms. The

Denna studie utgörs av en diskursanalys av sverigedemokratiska och andra högerorienterade inlägg i svenska medier, särskilt nyhets- och debattartiklar, för att undersöka skillnader i responsen mot flyktingströmmar under 2015 och 2022. Frågeställningen fokuserar på hur och varför medierapporteringen och debatten skiljer sig åt. Uppsatsen använder diskursanalys som både teori och metod, samt integre

Vattenkraften utgör ungefär 45 % av Sveriges elproduktion och har varit en stabil energikälla med lågt koldioxidutsläpp under lång tid. Med ett allt större inslag av intermittenta energislag i elsystemet, fyller vattenkraften också en viktig funktion med sin reglerförmåga för balansering. Trots sina fördelar som en lagringsbar energikälla är det tydligt att vattenkraften har negativa effekter på SHydropower stands for around 45 % of Sweden’s electricity production and has been a stable energy source with low carbon emissions for a long time. With increasing share of intermittent energy sources in the electricity system, hydropower also plays a crucial role in balancing the grid. Despite its advantages as a storable energy source, it is clear that hydropower has negative effects on Sweden’s

This study aimed to explore Swedish social workers’ experiences of the influence of social norms in their work with people subjected to intimate partner violence. The aim was also to explore how social workers relate to norm-critical perspectives within social services. We used convenience sampling and recruited six social workers, all of whom specialized in intimate partner violence. We approache

Denna studie syftade till att i en svensk kontext undersöka ifall våldtäktsoffrets kön påverkar graden skuldbeläggning de utsätts för. Fortsättningsvis att undersöka ifall deltagarnas kön, man och kvinna, påverkar hur mycket skuld de tillskriver ett offer. Även ifall självkänsla och sexuell läggning påverkade hur mycket skuld ett offer attribueras. Detta undersöktes genom en kvantitativ metod och The aim of this study was to investigate, in a Swedish context, if the gender of a rape victim relates to how much blame they are attributed. Furthermore, to investigate if the gender, male and female, of the observer relates to how much blame they assign to the victim. Also if self-esteem and sexual orientation relates to how much blame victims are assigned. This was investigated through a quanti

Climate change poses serious questions about how social work can address environmental issues. This study departs from an ecosocial approach and aims to explore how social workers in Sweden conceptualize and respond to climate change in social work practice. This study employed a thematic analysis where the collected data consisted of qualitative semi-structured interviews with four social work pr

This project is about challenging the traditional concept of a backpack. They tend to be designed around the carrying of objects, moving them comfortably on the body from A to B. This product focuses on the stationary use when the collection of objects are next to the user and when they take things. The final design should be able to stand upright, or on its side and display the contents like a

The aim of this bachelor degree project is to design a modular luminaire with a longer lifespan, in order to reduce consumption. The project aims to explore how design can contribute to sustainable development by creating a durable and adaptable lighting solution. The luminaire is versatile and can either be hung from the ceiling, mounted on the wall, or placed on a table. It can be expanded

Bakgrund: Inom arbetsterapi används begreppen aktivitetsbalans och aktivitetsobalans. Det finns ett samband mellan psykisk ohälsa och upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans, men få studier är utförda på män. Vid psykisk ohälsa kan aktivitetsobalans uppstå vilket kan påverka personens vardag, aktiviteter och hälsa negativt. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur män i Sverige med depression Background: Occupational therapy describes the concept of occupational balance and imbalance. There is a connection between mental illness and the experience of occupational imbalance, but few studies explored the experiences of men. Mental illness can cause occupational imbalance and could impact the individual's activities in daily life and health negatively. Aim: The aim of this study is t

Sverige beskrivs ofta som en förebild när det handlar om processer att uppnå jämställdhet och bedöms vara ett av världens mest jämställda länder. Detta trots att kvinnor i Sverige i större utsträckning än män arbetar deltid, besitter huvudansvaret för det obetalda hemarbetet, har större sjukfrånvaro samt tar ut majoriteten av föräldraledigheten. En jämställd arbetsgivarpolitik, där både kvinnor oc

Uppreningsförsök av organiska mikroföroreningar i avloppsvatten Dagens extensiva användning av olika organiska kemikalier såsom läkemedel och smink, lämnar restprodukter i avloppsvatten som till viss del hamnar i dricksvatten och i naturen. Dessa restprodukter antas kunna skada både mänsklig och vattenlevande hälsa, till exempel genom att förhindra tillväxt och endokrina funktioner. Därför är deThe presence of organic micropollutants (OMPs) in wastewater effluents is concerning, as they pose a threat to human and aquatic health. Biodegradation via methane-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) is an attractive option, as the method is cheap and effective. MOB can co-metabolize a variety of substrates, there among organic micropollutants. Methane-oxidizing microbiomes (MOMs) were cultivated with differ
