The aim of this study was to explore professionals' perspectives on their work and responsibility in relation to children who are exposed to commercial sexual exploitation. The method chosen for this study was qualitative semi-structured interviews, that included a vignette, with professionals working with children, both social service workers and counselors. The findings of this study were an
The purpose of the study is to investigate how the secrecy that prevails between municipalities, more precisely between social administrations, can be an obstacle in the case of a family home placement. Four theories have been used in this study to analyze the results: Michael Lipsky's grassroots bureaucracy, Attachment theory by Bowlby, trauma-informed care by Boswell and Batch, and emotions
Deforestation and forest degradation is an environmental phenomenon affecting the entire world. In 2021 the EU Commission proposed a Regulation on Deforestation-free Products, which is expected to repeal the EU Timber Regulation in 2023. This study analyzes two of the previous legal policies implemented by the EU to curb deforestation: the FLEGT Action Plan and the EU Timber Regulation. The method
Patented pharmaceuticals limit medicine access; Compulsory Licensing bridges the gap between Intellectual Property Rights and the Right to Health. The COVID-19 Pandemic sparked debates on medicine access and prompted legal revisions for improved systems. The European Union strives to enhance Intellectual Property Rights and Human Rights, yet current Compulsory Licensing has flaws that hinder medic
The lack of circular economy is a global problem; cur- rently, we use more resources than what is sustainable for our planet. One material that is highly critical to take action towards sustaining is the raw material of natural rubber. By reusing the rubber that currently is used in ti- res for other products, we can create a stronger circular economy for the material and thus use less new res
In today’s design environment we are constantly in movement. Whether it is making models or tracing a sketch, we need to go to specific stations intended for the task. It is not just time consuming but also a problem. Stress might occur due to the fact that you never know whether the light table or the cutting mat will be preoccupied. Designers’ needs are not reached and in the end they m
Comparing contemporary legislation and social debates to films and TV-shows from the 2000s and 2010s, this study shows a change in approach to the subject of sexual assault from an intersectional angle. The analysis describes a more individual, neo-liberal angle in the early 2000s, and a more holistic and societal angle in the 2010s. With the intersectional approach, the study finds that whiteness
Europe's largest and most excluded minority, the Roma, have been the subject of several policies that have aimed at increasing their integration and equality. In Finland, a country setting itself as among the leaders in Roma rights, this policy is Finland's National Roma Policy (ROMPO). ROMPO2, from 2018 to 2022, was critically evaluated in this thesis to examine how the Finnish Roma are r
This thesis project investigates the topic of joint optimization for crest factor reduction and digital predistortion blocks, which are used for digital correction of analogue impairments in digital radio front ends. The work first investigates the effects of joint parameter variation of the above blocks on the global performance and computational cost of the digital chain, given reference CFR and
This thesis explored the application of pre-trained transformer models in detecting suicidal ideation in social media posts. We leveraged social media data from platforms like Reddit and Twitter and applied a robust hyperparameter random search strategy to fine-tune and evaluate existing transformer models. Despite noise in the fine-tuning data, the models demonstrated high performance in identify
The healthcare system in Sweden is currently facing major challenges, particularly with regards to rising healthcare costs, an aging population, and an increase in chronic diseases. To overcome these challenges, the healthcare system requires innovative solutions that can provide cost-effective care while maintaining quality standards. Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) solutions have the potential
Civil liberties and freedoms have diminished globally due to the last decades’ deepened authoritarianism. Concurrently, mobilizations countering this development have decreased. Hong Kong represents one of the cases where anti-authoritarian resistance has been sustained, which sparks a question regarding what motivates people in expanding authoritarian spaces to engage in contentious politics. Thi
Det grova våldet har ökat i Sverige och inom politiken pratas det mycket om vad som behöver göras, vilken som är den mest effektiva insatsen och hur man bäst bekämpar brott. Vi intresserar oss därmed för att ta reda på hur olika aktörer beskriver och tolkar det brottsförebyggande arbetet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att analysera tolkningspraktikerna av det brottsförebyggande arbetet i Helsing
Denna kandidatuppsats forskningsfokus har varit digitalisering och hållbar utveckling. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur kommuner i Skåne använder digitalisering för hållbarhet med avsikt att kunna föreslå förbättringsförslag. För att uppfylla syftet med forskningsstudien har en kvalitativ forskningsstudie genomförts, där insamlade data från semi-strukturerade intervjuer med kommunanställda
Every year, the average age of the population is increasing as people live longer and fewer children are born. With age, it is not uncommon for cognitive abilities to deteriorate, affecting the ability to learn new things and process new information. As digitalization continues, some people are left behind and thus experience difficulties in using the newly developed digital environments. This is
Indigenous peoples are one of the most marginalized social groups in Ecuador. Emerging as a new actor contesting this situation, indigenous youth defenders (IYD) appear to be leading initiatives that promote indigenous rights in the country. Thus, grounded in Social Movements Theory, this thesis aims to explore the perceived role of IYD in broadening the promotion of indigenous rights and identiti
This research was done to analyse how different heat treatment processing conditions influence the properties of milk. The focus was on high temperature heat treatment, namely extended shelf life (ESL) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. The milk processing was performed in the range of 124 - 143 ℃ for 1 and 4 seconds. The analyses that were done involved nutritional and technological propertie
The gastrointestinal tract encounters foreign antigens, commensal bacteria and nutrients on a daily basis. Under steady state conditions, a regulatory immune system maintains gut homeostasis. However, disruption of the balance between regulatory components and defeating invading pathogens leads to overshooting inflammatory reactions that can culminate in chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammati
