Kriminaliseringen av eget narkotikabruk har inte utvärderats sedan dess tillkomst år 1988. Idag har dock Sveriges narkotikastrategi ifrågasatts både nationellt och internationellt då kriminalisering av det egna bruket har vållat oförutsedda effekter, i synnerhet för personer med ett problematiskt narkotikabruk. Denna uppsats syftar till att utreda huruvida Sveriges kriminalisering av det egna brCriminalization of drug use have not been evaluated since its origin, 36 years ago. Today, Sweden’s narcotic strategy has been questioned both nationally and internationally. The critics stems from studies indicating that the criminalization have caused unforeseen effects, especially for people with problematic drug use. This thesis aims to evaluate whether Sweden’s criminalization of drug use i

Changes to the Education Act in 2025 will mean that school libraries will have a specific objective of promoting students' reading and media and information literacy. Meanwhile, school library spaces can vary greatly in terms of accessibility and size. The aim of this thesis is therefore to provide knowledge about how the work of school librarians is affected by the possibilities and limitatio

This study focuses on the national system for knowledge-driven management within Swedish healthcare. The study combines theories of governance and implementation with the aim of both analyze the system of knowledge-driven management descriptively, and how it is implemented by local actors. By using text analysis and interviews, the main finding is the complex reality of the system, involving actor

Abstract Individuals within species often show a consistent differences in their risk-taking behavior. I investigated whether intra-specific variation in risk-taking behavior is adaptive, i.e. if it stems from the life history strategy differences between individuals. As a result of life history trade-offs, individuals vary in their investment into survival and reproduction, such that some indivi

The present work is an interdisciplinary and theoretical study on the topic of identity and the development of collective consciousness; an investigation of the ways in which people feel about and operate with their identities today. Identities are seen as a process circumscribed by the continuous struggle between the individual need for self-fulfillment and the demands of social structure and col

Using Mauritania as a case study this thesis compares the decline of two forms of coercive labour, slavery and servitude, to understand how masters’ incentives differ depending on property right and thus affect conditions for decline. By re-analysing sociological research through an economic lens, this thesis offers a new angle on Mauritania’s emancipation process. It is suggested that changed mar

Surrogatarrangemang är ett fenomen som på senare tid vuxit sig allt större; allt fler svenskar reser utomlands för att bilda familj med hjälp av en surrogatmoder. Vid ett surrogatarrangemang åtar sig en kvinna att bära fram ett barn för att sedan, vid barnets födsel, överlämna barnet till de tilltänkta föräldrarna. Ett surrogatarrangemang kan vara antingen altruistiskt eller kommersiellt och ett sSurrogacy arrangements have recently grown into a rather common alternative for Swedish couples. A surrogacy arrangement is usually carried out by a woman undertaking to bear a child on behalf of another. Once the child is born the surrogate mother hands the child over to the intended parents. A surrogacy arrangement is either altruistic or commercial. There are also two types of surrogacy: gestat

In this thesis the automation of an optical sight validation process was studied. The goal was to find a solution for controlling the position of a red dot in a red dot sight. A red dot sight is a non-magnifying reflector sight in which the user sees a red dot instead of a reticle. The movement of the dot was performed by fastening and unfastening adjustment screws on the sight. A side goal was to

After many years since the ratification of the Convention of the Right of the Child, it was eventually incorporated into Swedish law in 2020. One of the fundamental articles of the convention is children’s right to participate in matters concerning them. Despite the incorporation, however, participatory methods for children are still lacking in Swedish urban planning processes. Oftentimes, childre

In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a

Navigating conflicting interests in regards to land usage is an essential task in the field of urban planning. When the planner's task changes however to become a job of identifying the best available central location for new large scale infrastructure, the navigating instead turns into a question of who is to be displaced. This study examines a case study in Lund, Sweden, where a new generati

This master’s thesis was performed at Axis Communications with the goal of exploring the use of Novel View Synthesis (NVS) - in particular, NeRF and Gaussian Splatting - in camera surveillance. This was done by iteratively creating prototypes and performing user testing on these according to the iterative design process. The prototypes were to be developed with existing implementations of NVS tech

Dementia is a decline in cognitive function that impairs a person’s previous level of social and occupational function. Dementia is a very common medical condition that can result from diverse causes. Dementias are classified based on common clinical, genetic, and neuropathological features. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease. Other major classes of disorders that cause demen

Top-quark pair production is observed in lead-lead ((Formula presented)) collisions at (Formula presented) at the Large Hadron Collider with the ATLAS detector. The data sample was recorded in 2015 and 2018, amounting to an integrated luminosity of (Formula presented). Events with exactly one electron and one muon and at least two jets are selected. Top-quark pair production is measured with an ob

The MeerKAT radio telescope consists of 64 Gregorian-offset antennas located in the Karoo in the Northern Cape in South Africa. The antenna system consists of multiple subsystems working collaboratively to form a cohesive instrument capable of operating in multiple modes for defined science cases. We focus on the channelizing subsystem (F-engine), the correlation subsystem (X-engine), and the beam

The gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) technique was used to investigate the possible presence of free gas pores in human condyle bones, extracted from the tibia in knee revision surgical procedures in response to arthrosis development. Following earlier studies showing free gas presence in femoral head bones, decaying because of inadequate blood flow, we investigated condyle

In this study the sustainability of crucibles used during the Scandinavian Bronze Age is tested. Due to the crucible’s high or low sustainability the idea of it being a disposable object may be ratified or discarded. Earlier experiments focusing on the casting process in Scandinavian Bronze Age have concluded that crucibles such as the ones used during Bronze Age were disposable objects due to low
