Darknet constitutes a part of the internet with a reputation for allowing deviance and criminality. In short, it is often understood as a place where anything goes. Current research on Darknet tends to focus on illicit cryptomarkets, however in this ongoing doctoral research project, I explore how user posts and behaviors are informally and formally controlled and shaped on Darknet forums.

Mandatory human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD) policies seem to represent a pathbreaking shift from voluntary measures to binding rules for global supply chains. Yet these policies endorse a “smart-mix” of voluntary and mandatory measures, and risk over-reliance on questionable private-sector assurances. In this paper, we ask how businesses framed these private/voluntary efforts in
Most European Union (EU) residents live in areas where outdoor air pollution levels exceed the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) air quality guidelines for fine particles and nitrogen dioxide. Outdoor air pollution is classified as carcinogenic to humans, and both outdoor and indoor air contain established human carcinogens, including diesel exhaust particulates, benzo(a)pyrene [B(A)P] and benz
Patients with cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) and Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) are at risk of having infective endocarditis (IE). The objectives were to describe a Swedish population-based cohort of patients with CIED and SAB, to identify risk factors, and to construct a predictive score for IE. Patients over 18 years old in the Stockholm Region identified to have SAB in th
Several lines of research within developmental psychology, experimental semiotics and language origins studies have recently converged in their interest in pantomime as a system of bodily communication distinct from both language (spoken or signed) and nonlinguistic gesticulation. These approaches underscore the effectiveness of pantomime, which despite lack of semiotic conventions is capable of c
The original sound source was part of my field recording regarding my project about lighthouses. I had a chance to meet and interview a lighthouse keeper in Spain; we talked about different soundscapes in the ports nowadays, even though some lighthouses keep functioning visually. An operating foghorn is not mandatory anymore in the EU, therefore most lighthouses don't use it anymore. The lighthous
Can knowledge be simultaneously locally situated and globally relevant? How is it possible to approach knowledge as a collective practice through the modes of action that produce it, rather than through a hegemonic point of reference? What trajectories of knowledge are produced by situated, militant or emergent practices? The New Alphabet School is an experimental model of collective study that ex
Objectives The existence of phenotypes has been hypothesized to explain the large heterogeneity characterizing the knee osteoarthritis. In a previous systematic review of the literature, six main phenotypes were identified: Minimal Joint Disease (MJD), Malaligned Biomechanical (MB), Chronic Pain (CP), Inflammatory (I), Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and Bone and Cartilage Metabolism (BCM). The purpose of
The industrial involvement in Open Source Software projects is increasing. More and more companies are turning their proprietary code into open source, contribute actively to the development of Open Source Software projects or/and use Open Source Software products as (part of) their own products. Software Configuration Management provides the infrastructure that is the foundation for any type of s
Background: The use of welfare technology is gaining ground in municipal eldercare and is increasingly being integrated into everyday routines. However, the meanings that eldercare personnel attach to welfare technology in the care of older recipients, and thus the domestication of welfare technology, remain largely underexplored. This study explores how eldercare personnel understand and ascribe
The biogenesis of transfer RNA is a process that requires many different factors. In this study, we describe a genetic screen aimed to identify gene products participating in this process. By screening for mutations lethal in combination with a sup61-T47:2C allele, coding for a mutant form of, the nonessential TAN1 gene was identified. We show that the TAN1 gene product is required for formation o
This thesis describes the development of a new h-adaptive method for shell elements in the explicit FE-code LS-DYNA. Adaptivity is used to obtain accurate results for large deformation analyses to a low computational effort. However, the present adaptive method available in LS-DYNA is based on a geometrical simplification. When the mesh is refined, the bending deformation of the shell is not consi
A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl
Tonkilometermetoden används för beräkning av andelstal för enskilda vägar som är gemensamhetsanläggningar. Den trafikmängd som olika fastighetstyper genererar återspeglas i vissa framtagna schablonvärden. Eftersom det saknas framtagna schablonvärden för specialfastigheter såsom vindkraftverk och vattenkraftverk har jag genom detta examensarbete undersökt möjligheten att ta fram schablonvärden för
The aim of this research is to explore motivators and barriers that customers balance when it comes to co-creation in marketing activities undertaken by brands on social media. A qualitative research strategy was decided, with semi-structured interviews as the research method. The coding was thematic, and eight different themes of motivators and barriers to co-creation were found. Furthermore, the
I denna uppsats utreds och analyseras hur rättsväsendet hanterar hatbrott begångna på internet. År 2013 rapporterade Brottsförebyggande rådet att personuppklarningen vad gäller hatbrott begångna på internet är mycket låg. Följaktligen fortsätter uppsatsen med att identifiera orsakerna till den låga personuppklarningen samt de brister rättsväsendet besitter på området. I avslutande del av uppsatsenThis paper is set out to investigate and analyze how the judicial system handles hate crime committed on the internet. In 2013 the Swedish national council of crime prevention (Brå) reported that the clearance rate in terms of hate crime committed on the internet is very low. Hence the paper continues with identifying the causes of the low clearance rate and the shortcomings the judicial system po
This thesis aims to understand what influences the adoption of Internet of Things [IoT] platforms in Swedish municipalities for smart city initiatives. The adoption of IoT platforms in Swedish municipalities is slow, but the effects of an IoT platform can enhance the processes and progression toward smarter cities. To describe what influences the adoption of IoT platforms, the Technology-Organisat
The issues of tackling aggressive tax planning are actual throughout the whole history of global market economy. Earlier this struggle was held by the states individually through imposing rules into their national legislation authorizing tax supervisory bodies to use new methods of control, establishing liability for tax evasion, and developing the approaches by judgements of the courts on relevan
