The purpose of this paper was to highlight children’s experiences of compulsory care, more commonly known as LVU (Lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av barn & unga), in the Swedish child welfare system. Drawing on the principles of the child’s best interests and the child’s perspective as outlined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the study critically examines how ch
Sedan 2017 har elever erbjudits att välja elektroniska digitala instrument (EDI) som huvudinstrument på ett antal gymnasieskolor i Sverige. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur elever som har EDI som huvudinstrument på gymnasiet reflekterar kring det egna instrumentet, sin musikaliska identitet samt övning och utbildning i förhållande till EDI. Då forskning om EDI i skrivande stund befinner sig iSince 2017, students in various high schools in Sweden have had the option to choose Electronic Digital Instrument (EDI) as their primary instrument. This study aims to explore how those students reflect on EDI in relation to their musical identities, practice and education. As research on EDI is in its infancy at the time of writing, this study also reviews related research areas such as music pr
Our study finds strong liquidity commonality across China's metal futures contracts, as about 47% of liquidity changes in individual contracts can be explained by a market-wide factor during 2019-2025. Liquidity fluctuations also show mean-reverting behavior, meaning they tend to return to normal levels after short-term shocks. Moreover, this co-movement in liquidity remains statistically sign
The global decline in fertility rates has become a pressing issue. This study focuses on Gen Z women, who are emerging as the primary childbearing population for marriage and childbearing, and conducts a qualitative investigation into the underlying logic behind their declining fertility intentions. Using a multi-method qualitative approach that combines semi-structured interviews with online ethn
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) har länge förknippats med påverkan på exekutiva funktioner och uppmärksamhet. Ett komplement i senare forskning är att även cerebellära strukturer är påverkade vid ADHD och att cerebellum är involverad i fler kognitiva processer än vad man tidigare trott. Det aktuella forskningsläget är begränsat och splittrat när det kommer till hur kognitiv prestatAttention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has long been associated with impairments in executive functions and attention. More recent research has suggested that cerebellar structures are also affected in ADHD and that the cerebellum is involved in more cognitive processes than previously believed. The current state of research is limited and fragmented regarding how cognitive performance ap
The 2015 refugee crisis saw millions of refugees arrive in Europe, eliciting mixed responses from receiving countries and, subsequently, the media. In Denmark, 2015 is widely regarded as a turning point in the way in which migration was presented in the media and discussed in political debates, going from a humanitarian to restrictive focus. The media has an essential role in distributing informat
This thesis investigates a scale-invariant Two-Higgs-Doublet Model with an additional scalar singlet, focusing on its phenomenology, both at collider experiments and for cosmological observables. The collider experiments are mainly used to constrain the parameter space of the model. With these constraints, we find that there are restrictions against large sums of masses squared as well as one of t
The Temporary Protection Directive was created in 2001 to harmonise burden-sharing and encourage European solidarity within the Common European Asylum System during mass influxes of migrants. However, the directive remained inactive during the 2015 migrant crisis and was only invoked for the first time in 2022, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This study aims to compare and contrast the
This thesis investigates minority magnon excitations, firstly proposed by T. Skovhus and T. Olsen (Phys. Rev. B 110.16 (2024)), in the half-filled Hubbard model on the two-dimensional Lieb lattice. Starting from the mean-field ground state with finite Hubbard interaction, we find the splitting Hubbard bands with ferrimagnetic features and identify gapless Goldstone and gapped Higgs magnon modes wi
The study describes and analyses the legal requirements under EU law (General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the European Health Data Space (EHDS)) for artificial intelligence (AI) processing (primary use) of data concerning health within the healthcare sector. Under the GDPR, processing data concerning health, a special category of personal data, requires a legal basis (Article 6 GDPR) and
This thesis investigates the determinants of share repurchase size among Swedish listed firms, focusing on how firm characteristics and ownership structures influence buyback behavior. Using panel data from 2014 to 2024 and applying Tobit regression models, the study finds that firm size has a consistently positive but diminishing effect on repurchase size. Our model incorporates firm-level financ
This thesis conducts a comparative analysis of algorithmic management in the food delivery platform sector, focusing on platforms operating in the United Kingdom and Sweden. Drawing upon Institutional Theory, Labour Process Theory and Discourse Analysis, the study investigates how platforms such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Foodora and Wolt implement, regulate and communicate algorithmic control in di
The lithium extraction sites are rapidly expanding to meet the rising demand for lithium-ion batteries, primarily for electric vehicles and renewable energy storage. Serbia has emerged as a key European frontier due to the country’s significant lithium reserves, particularly in the Jadar region. This thesis critically examines how the controversial Jadar lithium mining project is discursively legi
This paper explores whether public debt and associated media coverage affect stock market volatility in Sweden, the United States and the United Kingdom. Using monthly data from January 2004 to March 2025, GARCH(1, 1) models with explanatory variables are estimated to test two hypotheses derived from earlier research. One finding indicates that an increase in public debt reduces stock market volat
When an account of promising is too cognitively demanding, it cannot apply to persons who can receive promises but cannot ascribe higher-order mental states to others. Scanlon’s account of promises is such an account. This thesis argues that Scanlon can make his account less cognitively demanding by revising his theory of speech acts. Instead of being an intentionalist, Scanlon should be an expres
This thesis examines the impact on national employment levels in Sweden of reducing the standard workweek from 40 to 35 hours, using 2015 as the analytical baseline. Through rigorous analysis of employment data, productivity metrics, wage effects, unionization rates, and capital substitution patterns, the research employs sectoral comparisons to identify differential effects across the Swedish eco
The study focuses on how Sweden addresses CBRNE-(Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives) associated risks. A changed security environment has seen an intensive increase in CBRNE-associated risks. The aim of the study is to analyse and compare Swedish and international strategies to suggest improvements for Sweden's CBRNE preparedness, particularly in relation to the emergency
This thesis investigates the representation of Roma women in Romanian media through a multimodal critical discourse analysis of newspaper articles, televised news segments, and public discussion board comments in relation to an infamous 2023 case, where a deaf-mute Roma woman gave birth in the courtyard of a hospital after being refused a bed by the medical staff. Drawing on theories of Orientalis
Victim-blaming discourse is not merely a superficial issue, it is a deeply entrenched issue that has its roots in Cambodian society as a whole. The patterns of blame culture not only reinforce cycles of normalizing gender-based violence and prevent victims from accessing justice but also systematically undermine faith in the justice system. This thesis aims to address significant barriers that hin
This study explore how visitors experience "time travel" at an open-air museum, focusing on reconstructed buildings at Fredriksdal Museums and gardens in Helsingborg. Through interviews, observations and thematic coding the research identifies elements that enhance the sense of historical immersion. Using David Kolb's experiential learning theory the analysis reveal that learning occ
