This article is the product of a close chronological reading of the debate surrounding the so called ‘’ISIS-returnees’’ in Sweden during the spring of 2019. The debate itself, as well as the situation it concerned, has been treated as a discursive field where a securitization has been attempted and resisted by several actors. The study has found that an intersubjective struggle between these actor
Since the birth of the industrial revolution, there has existed a fear of becoming redundant and unemployed due to technological development. However, this has not been the case, but the last decades have instead seen the surge of income inequality. This has been linked to the growing technology bias towards skilled workers. This paper studies if the interactive effect of technological development
The purpose of this study was to describe how life changes in psychotherapists’ own lives have affected their work. The topic was explored with a qualitative approach. The method was reflecting conversation. The result mainly illustrated how psychotherapists’ life changes and crises had affected them personally, rather than professionally. The psychotherapists mainly shared how life changes had le

Mängden koldioxid i atmosfären är ett av de största diskussionsämnena när det kommer till miljöförstöring i dagens samhälle. Koldioxid i sig är en gas som är svår att utföra kemiska reaktioner med eftersom den är mycket oreaktiv. Den består av ett kol och två syre som är hårt bundna till kolet med dubbelbindningar. För att kunna reagera måste någon av dessa bindningar brytas vilket kräver energi. The formation of [PCN-Ni-OAc] from reaction of [PCN-Ni-Me] with CO2 was followed by 1H NMR to determine the kinetics of the reaction. The second order rate constant was calculated, and the entropy and enthalpy of activation was obtained. The PCN-ligand were synthesised followed known synthetic routs. The crystal structure of the [PCN-Ni-I] complex was also obtained. A POCN- ligand was also synthe
Digital platforms is an innovation made possible by the adoption of computers and internet. Companies like Google and Facebook grew in relatively short time to the most valuable or-ganisations on the stock market. The success of these companies is partially possible by their characteristics of being a digital platforms. One of the success factors is the use open APIs, which makes that other partie
Heart Rate Variability, förkortat HRV, är en term inom kardiologi som beskriver den naturliga variationen i tidsintervallet mellan en människas hjärtslag. Högt HRV, det vill säga stor variation i tiden mellan hjärtslag, har tidigare visats vara kopplat till god hälsa. Det har även visats att låg variation är kopplat till långvarig psykisk påfrestning. Den starka korrelationen med en människas hälsHeart rate variability (HRV) is a term within cardiology describing the natu- rally occurring variation of the time interval between heartbeats, and high HRV activity has been linked to both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular health. This bachelor thesis aims to find differences between HRV-signals where short term physical strain (pain) was induced and HRV-signals where no such strain was appl
Datorsimuleringar av barnhjärtinterventioner Aortaklaffstenos är ett vanligt medfött hjärtfel hos barn, som innebär att aortaklaffen är trång och släpper igenom för lite blod. Aortaklaffen har vanligtvis tre klaffblad. I en typ av aortaklaffstenos har två av klaffbladen vuxit ihop, så att klaffen endast har två klaffblad. Detta leder till att klaffen inte kan öppnas helt vilket tvingar hjärtat atAortic valve stenosis is a common congenital heart defect among children. In affected patients, the normal tricuspid valve structure is malformed into a bicuspid valve structure due to a fusion at one commissure. A common treatment is transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, where a balloon is inserted through the aortic valve and inflated to mechanically tear the fused region, restoring a tricuspid s
Historiskt sett har Bitcoin ansetts vara en volatil tillgång utan koppling till traditionella investeringar som S&P 500. Därför har investerare kunnat använda Bitcoin som en "säker hamn" under nedgångar på börsen. Under COVID-19 skedde dock en oväntad förändring - korrelationen mellan Bitcoin och börsindex ökade kraftigt. I detta examensarbete undersöker vi om detta var en tillfälligThis thesis investigates the dynamic correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin returns from 2018 to 2024. To capture potential regime-specific dynamics, a Markov Switching Model is employed to segment each return data into two distinct states characterized by high or low volatility, using a LASSO regression to find the appropriate explanatory variables for the returns. Univariate GARCH(1,1)
In 2023, a committee directive was issued to initiate an investigation aimed at reviewing the current special treatment of young offenders within criminal law and proposing changes to the system. The goal was to increase the level of repression and reduce youth sentence reductions. This paper focuses on the proposed changes in the report for the age groups 15–17 and 18–20 years. The report suggest
This paper aims to examine whether instances of climate injustice faced by the Sami community are acknowledged and given priority in Sweden's efforts to mitigate climate change. The study centers on mining, which has a complex relationship spanning both current issues and historical tensions between Sami interests and governmental ambitions. The paper will take a postcolonial approach, with a
Workplace social media monitoring has become increasingly prevalent, raising critical concerns about privacy and fairness in employee-employer relationships. This thesis investigated the associations between the Big Five personality traits and employee perceptions of social media monitoring in the workplace. Using a quantitative research design, the study examined how openness, conscientiousness,
This research aims to study how the digital tool SKILLS changes social work in the labor market administration in Sweden. A qualitative interview study was carried out, and six social workers were interviewed through semi-structured interviews. In the interviews, attention is drawn to the fact that the digital tool has great significance in the social workers' daily work. SKILLS is a mandatory
Det primära syftet med studien var att undersöka genomförbarheten av dagliga skattningar två gånger dagligen av symtom, psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) och funktion hos vuxna med systemisk lupus erythematosus (SLE). Det sekundära syftet var att undersöka sambandet mellan de vanligaste och mest besvärande symtomen på SLE (dvs. smärta, trötthet, ångest, depression och kognitiv påverkan), hälsorelateraThe primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of obtaining twice-daily recordings of symptoms, psychological flexibility (PF) and functioning from adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The secondary aim was to investigate the relationship between the most common and burdensome symptoms of SLE (i.e., pain, fatigue, anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment – CI), health r
AI tar oss ett steg närmare en lösning till gåtan bakom flexibla proteiner Proteiner är byggstenarna till det mikroskopiska maskineri som utför i stort sett alla biologiska processer i naturen. När vi vill utveckla läkemedel för att lösa problem som kan uppstå i maskineriet eller bekämpa angripande patogener är förståelse av proteiners 3-dimensionella struktur ovärderlig. Visualisering av proteinThe deep learning revolution has contributed to a great leap in protein structure prediction, but predicting the multiple conformational states that proteins can hold remains an open problem. This thesis approaches this problem through the use of MSA Transformer, a protein language model pre-trained on multiple sequence alignments, that has demonstrated the ability to learn protein properties such
Despite available training in food safety, regular inspections from the authorities and strict laws and regulations, the number of suspected food poisoning is estimated at 500,000 cases per year in Sweden (Norling, 1994). Since the 1990s, there have been discussions about introducing a "mandatory food driver's license" to improve food safety in Sweden. But no such license exists toda
The Nordic country of Sweden portrays itself as a leader in sustainable development and human rights advocacy. However, the expansion of what is portrayed as “green” mining activities in Sami territories creates cumulative pressure on traditional livelihoods like reindeer husbandry, which raises questions about the sustainability narrative. Previous research has focused on Swedish policy documents
Sedan 1999 är det olagligt i Sverige att tillägna sig sexuella tjänster mot ersättning. Kriminaliseringen var en följd av flera statliga utredningar och en del av kvinnofridsreformen. Skyddsintressena sågs vid den här tiden som dubbla, såväl den svagare parten som ofta utnyttjas av köparen som det allmänna nämndes i förarbetena till lagen. Vid utvärderingsutredningen 10 år senare lyftes att det skSince 1999, the purchase of sexual services is illegal in Sweden. The criminalization was a result of several government investigations and a part of the women's integrity reform. It was motivated mainly by two interests: on the one hand the protection of the weaker party, who is often exploited by the buyer, and on the other hand the general public were mentioned in the legislative history. I
Underrättelseverksamhet bedrivs till stor del i syfte att förebygga eller förhindra brott. En vital del av utredningsarbetet är att identifiera och avgränsa potentiella misstänkta. Arbetsmetoden kallas för förutsägande profilering. Metoden förutsätter bearbetning och insamling av uppgifter när misstanken ännu inte kan individualiseras. Sådana uppgifter kan innehålla så kallade känsliga personuppgiIntelligence service is largely conducted by crime prevention agencies. A vital part of the investigation is to identify and delimit potential suspects. The method is called predictive profiling. The method implies processing and collecting information when the suspicion cannot yet be individualized. Such data may contain so called sensitive data. The registration of sensitive data impli-cates a v
As gamification becomes increasingly integrated into digital systems, concerns around its ethical implications have gained relevance. This thesis investigates transparency as a central ethical issue in the socio-technical usage of gamified systems. While prior research has focused on user engagement and system design, less attention has been paid to how transparency is understood and enacted by th
