Hvordan kan kriminalforsorgens tilsynsarbejde integrere tilfælde af demokratisk emancipation (: frigørelse, selvstændiggørelse) og dermed inspirere til deltagende medborgerskab for marginaliserede klienter? Dette forskningsprojekt balancerer en interesse i socialt arbejde og dets muligheder for at levere emancipationgennem motivationsarbejde med en opmærksomhed på den senere tids udviklinger i skHow can offender supervision in the execution of state-sanctioned punishment integrate instances of democratic emancipation and thereby inspire participatory citizenship for disenfranchised clients?This project balances an interest in social work and its prospects for delivering emancipation through motivational agency, on the one hand, with an attentiveness to recent developments in Scandinavian

Recent measurements of collective effect-like signals in small collision systems has highlighted the need for new models to explain these phenomena. One good candidate for such a model is the AMY QCD effective kinetic theory, which is valid for systems in- and out-of-equilibrium. This thesis is a collection of four papers which all investigate how to apply AMY kinetic theory to explain the evoluti

With the evolving technology of mobile electronics and other forms of communication methods, an increasing demand of speech intelligibility is introduced. In a conference room for example, multiple microphones are placed directly in front of the speaker in order to pick up clean speech. However, several challenges still exist. For instance the distance between speaker and microphone will not be fi

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on aggregate foreign trade. We use annual data from 15 Asian countries over 30 years. The exchange rate volatility is derived primarily based on GARCH models and MASD. This thesis applies both the static fixed-effect panel data model and dynamic GMM model, then compares the obtained results and uses the OLS method

This study is an analytical look at how new ventures approach keeping individuals within their organizations in order to ensure the long-run success of the venture. There is a particular focus on the non monetary incentives that are offered by employers and the influence they have on the intention for the individual to remain in a new venture. This has been done by following the framework of the j

I denna studie undersöks bildningsprocesser och klimatologisk betydelse av hur av årsmoräner bildas vid Gornergletscher, en stor alpin dalglaciär i de södra schweiziska Alperna. Ett särskilt fokus ligger på moränryggar som har bildats mellan 2007 och 2019, en period då glaciären har retirerat snabbt och det har skett en tydlig förtunning av isfronten. Dessa moräner uppvisar olika geomorfologiska oThis study examines genetic processes and climatological significance of annual moraine formation in the foreland of Gornergletscher, a large alpine-valley glacier located in the southern Swiss Alps. A particular focus is set on moraine ridges that have been forming between 2007 and 2019, a period when the glacier has been subject to accelerated retreat and pronounced frontal thinning. These morai

The participation of grassroots communities became a must of development projects. International organizations advocate for the inclusion of community members to ensure projects’ success and sustainability. However, community engagement is often undermined by existing power dynamics between implementing agencies and communities. Power imbalances result from the lack of interdependency between acto

This paper examines the sufficiency of a trading method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of past stock prices. The SVD method is frequently used as a tool to reduce data noise, compress big-data, and analyse data components. Hence, the method is well suited to form a ground for a predictive tool of price developments. From the predicted pattern, a strategy was formed by construction of

Aim: Phantoms are used daily in the clinic for radiotherapy. As more realistic phantoms are requested, 3D printing could be used but the design of a realistic phantom is difficult. The purpose of this project was to design and 3D print an anthropomorphic phantom that could be used for verification of complex treatment such as stereotactic arrhythmic radioablation treatments without the use of pati

Background - The company is a Swedish manufacturer, developer and contract manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. In the last couple of years, the company has entered a growth phase which has led to issues with the internal processes such as material flow, warehouse operations and processes related to the production. The consequence has been occasional issues with delivering the products on time. As a r

Everyone who has worked with research knows how rewarding experimenting and developing new algorithms can be. However in some cases, the hard part is not the invention of these algorithms, but their evaluation. To try and make that evaluation easier, this thesis focuses on the collection of data that can be used as positional ground truths using an autonomous measurement platform. This should assi

Social media is a field that is developing quickly. A field that brings both risks and opportunities for companies. It has become especially important for startups since using it requires only a small amount of resources. Even though many startups realize the value potentials with using social media, effective utilization of it still poses a daunting challenge to many of them. Based on a combinati

An electromagnetic wave propagating through an optical fiber is sensitive to external disturbances, such as mechanical vibrations and temperature and pressure fluctuations, which add phase noise onto the wave. For high-precision frequency-based applications this phase noise has to be removed. By partially reflecting light from the remote end of the fiber back through the fiber, and comparing it to

The TRPV1 receptor (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1) is a nonspecific membrane-bound cation channel, which plays an important role in nociception and pain transmission, the nerve-response to possibly dangerous stimuli. It is known that TRPV1 can be modulated by a variety of stimuli, amongst which heat, protons and chemical compounds, such as capsaicin, are the most known activators. This

Life-sciences have developed at a rapid pace during recent years. From experiments investigating single molecules such as proteins or single genes to large scale projects mapping entire organisms in one single experiment. However, data generated from this kind of large scale projects need to be interpreted and integrated with the base of prior knowledge in an efficient, reliable and correct way. T

The Swedish power grid is actively balanced in order to maintain the nominal frequency of 50 Hz. Today, this is mostly done through flexible power generation. Emerging markets, allowing consuming resources to participate in balancing the grid, have the potential to increase the stability of the grid. This master thesis aimed to investigate the consequences and possibilities of using variable air v

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge about baby boomers’ motivations for using either digital or analogue touchpoints in the high involvement customer journey. This ultimately contributes to an increased understanding of the high involvement customer journey. Methodology: A qualitative study with social constructionism as the research philosophy, where an abductive appro

As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem

Japan continuously attempts to reinterpret war-renouncing Article 9 while at the same time stressing its devotion to pacifism, most recently through the Legislation for Peace and Security. The new Legislation allows Japan to engage in collective self-defense, which was considered unconstitutional for 70 years. This thesis examines Japan’s legitimization of such change, answering the question; how
