This study examines the legal and ethical dilemmas within compulsory institutional care at the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SiS). The research problem is based on the extensive criticism directed at SiS institutions, where deficiencies in legal certainty, treatment methods, and the rights of youths have been identified. The study focuses on how the exercise of power affects both s
This thesis investigates the association between traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) of varying severities and the subsequent risk of developing malignant brain and other central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Utilizing a retrospective study design, medical records involving 34,004 adult patients who suffered TBIs between January 2nd, 2000, and March 1st, 2023, were analyzed. The study employed survival
Telematics units are widely spreading in the automotive industry. Getting realtime data from the systems is essential for creating services in the back office which builds value for both companies and end customers. The services created greatly impact maintenance strategies, future developments, and keeping the vehicle more sustainable and secure for both end users and customers. However, adding n
This study aimed to examine how school counselors, based on equal treatment policies, work with issues regarding gender identity and gender expression in the school setting. The chosen method for this study was a qualitative method, where six semi-structured interviews with school counselors were conducted to gather empirical evidence. Michael Lipsky´s theory regarding street-level bureaucracy and
Autenticitet är ett begrepp som sedan länge har varit relevant inom filosofin och senare även psykologin. Det utgör ett ideal i vår samtid och är förknippat med psykologisk hälsa. Samtidigt råder det oenighet inom det psykologiska forskningsfältet om hur begreppet bör förstås och konceptualiseras. Denna kvalitativa studie syftade till att öka förståelsen för autenticitet, mer specifikt vad det innAuthenticity is a concept that since a long time has been of relevance within philosophy and later also psychology. It constitutes an ideal in our time and is associated with psychological health. At the same time, there is disagreement within the research field of psychology about how the concept should be understood and conceptualized. This qualitative study aimed to increase the understanding o
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
Warm, warmer, warmest average temperatures on record. The year of 2023 was the hottest ever recorded on Earth. This heat record breaking development is described as “the new normal”, which means that future buildings must be designed with this new extreme weather normality in mind. The rising heat brings increased demands for space cooling, which must be at least partially met in other ways than t
This study aimed to investigate whether and in what way gender roles are reproduced through the conversation regarding masculine and feminine energies among Swedish TikTok users. Former research shows that youth's lives increasingly revolve around social media. There are online forums where gendered stereotypes are reproduced and alleged messages are being spread about a decreasing privilege f
Introduction Illicit maritime activities frequently involve "dark" vessels that disable or manipulate their Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to evade detection. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Optical imagery for vessel detection using both “manual” and automated Deep Learning (DL) methods while integrating AIS data to validate, i
The number of flooding incidents in our urban cities and communities has increased drastically as a result of the increased effect of global warming in recent years. The probability of occurrence for heavy rainfalls and cloudburst events is higher, increasing the risks of pluvial flooding in urban areas. As a result of more frequent flooding, the hydraulic capacity of existing stormwater pipe syst
Potthål är ett återkommande problem som påverkar väginfrastrukturen, orsakar trafikstörningar och leder till höga underhållskostnader. Examensarbetet undersöker de faktorer som påverkar potthålens uppkomst, utveckling och påverkan, samt identifierar möjliga lösningar för att minska deras förekomst. Arbetet kombinerar data från Malmö stad och Trafikverkets vägväderinformationssystem (VViS) med intePotholes are a recurring issue that affects road infrastructure, causes traffic disruptions, and leads to high maintenance costs. This thesis investigates the factors influencing the formation, development, and impact of potholes while identifying potential solutions to reduce their occurrence. The study combines data from the City of Malmö and the Swedish Transport Administration’s (Trafikverket)
The study critically examines the image of Copenhagen as a “sustainable”, “inclusive” and “livable” city, specifically in relation to the political initiative known as the “ghetto law” – a social mixing policy introduced in 2018 aimed at creating a “balanced” population, combating crime, and preventing the formation of “parallel societies”. The study operates under the premise that governance is s
Purpose: To focus on sustainability projects in cities – how a big project is created, managed,and marketed to increase focus on and awareness of sustainable cities for urban stakeholders. Research Questions: How can projects and project management be used to develop and increase awareness and involvement surrounding sustainable cities for urban stakeholders? What are the views and attitudes surr
As of 2019 Swedish health care social work has received authorization and its effect has since been discussed. To become an authorized healthcare social worker today you are expected to complete a one-year academic specialization on top of your Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, which has been met by a mainly positive yet mixed reception. This study aims to understand the authorization's impact
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a once common species in southern Sweden, went extinct in the 1950s due to changes in agricultural practices, and is now listed as “Endangered” according to the Swedish Red List, since the population is too small to be viable on its own. Thanks to the ongoing reintroduction programme, there are now 70 breeding pairs in southern Sweden. This study aimed to verify
Insects exhibit exceptional navigational abilities utilizing a compartment of their brain known as the central complex (CX). The CX comprises four distinct neuropils. These include the protocerebral bridge (PB), the fan-shaped body (FB), the ellipsoid body (EB) and the noduli (NO). Functionally, the CX has been implicated in encoding the insects current heading, its goal heading, and in instructin
This study aimed to investigate how a belief in a just world and gender affect victim blaming in a dynamical context, while controlling for age as a background variable. A total of 60 participants were included in the study, gathered through a convenience sample. The study was conducted as a survey with a dynamically evolving scenario of a sexual assault, where participants attributed blame to bot
Hydrocyclones are important pieces of equipment used within the mineral processing industry, where they are used for sorting ore particles suspended in water based on their size. The turbulent flow within a hydrocyclone is today usually modelled using demanding computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. In this thesis, we explore the use of physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) as an alter
