Background and Aim: Sweden is one of the European countries which receive refugees worldwide, including those from Myanmar. As Myanmar refugees begin to resettle in Swedish society, they might experience challenges that may affect their mental health and well-being. Although mental health problems of immigrants in Sweden have increased over the past years, few studies have addressed the mental wel

International trade determinants of unequal exchange through panel data analysis. An alternative view of international development

I approach international development from an international relations perspective. To do so, I first review historical and current economic relationships between developed and developing countries. After confirming the existence of hidden value transfers flowing from low income to wealthy countries, I conduct a panel data analysis on 89 developing countries from 1985 to 2017. The main objective of

Undocumented Immigrants’ Access to Law & Practical Implications - A study on undocumented immigrants' access to labor rights in light of migrations regulations in Sweden

This paper studies the challenges of undocumented immigrant workers rights in Sweden and their access to labor rights with regards to migration regulations. It mainly aims to address three questions: 1) what are the available mechanisms, 2) how efficient are they, 3) what can be improved with respect to international frameworks that Sweden is signatory to. The findings of the paper demonstrate tha

Gradually Changing Gender Attribution of Speech Recordings Using Interpolated Filters

Mänskliga röster bär på mycket information, och en av de fösta egenskaper vi registrerar är talarens kön. Är det möjligt att omvandla en röst så att lyssnaren ändrar uppfattning? Inom könsbekräftande vård av transpersoner ingår ibland talterapi för att uppnå en röst mer i linje med patientens könsidentitet. Där fokuserar behandlingen på att ändra de aspekter av rösten som associeras med kön: gruWhen we listen to human speech, one of the first characteristics we assess is the gender of the speaker. For individuals who suffer from gender dysphoria, this may cause them to be negatively impacted by their voice not matching their gender identity. Therefore, some persons attempt to change their voices with a speech-language therapist. Differences between the average female and male voice have

Balancing Dual Logics for a Greener Future - A qualitative study on a sustainable social venture

The significant rise of environmental problems attracts entrepreneurs that are willing to take action towards a greener transition. Sustainability-driven entrepreneurs are continuously reshaping the business landscape. However, ventures that aim to combine both profit and sustainability goals often face the risk of mission drifts. This jeopardizes their reason for existing in the first place. Ther

AFTA and Regional Strengthening: The Effect of intra-ASEAN Trade on FDI Inflows

his thesis investigates the effects of intra-ASEAN export flows on global FDI inflows into ASEAN member states. A panel dataset including all ten countries of the ASEAN is created to test these effects from 1992 to 2020. Linear regressions without and with fixed effects predict that intra-ASEAN exports have a positive and significant impact on FDI inflows into ASEAN countries. Furthermore, trade f

Kulturkrockar och othering på TikTok: En reflexiv tematisk innehållsanalys av amerikanska TikTok-producenters upplevda kulturkrockar i Europa

The purpose of this research is to analyze how American producers on TikTok document their experience of living in Europe. This is executed with a reflexive thematic content analysis as it is expressed by Braun and Clarke (2006) and related to the theories of othering and exotification, which are processes of constructing collective identities. I intend to analyze what the producers have in common

We are here, we don’t fear Feminists counteracting legitimizing myths and authoritarian practices in Turkey to end violence against women

Previous literature suggests that the republic of Turkey is transforming from a democracy to an authoritarian country under Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’s rule. The Turkish government has introduced and implemented a series of events that organizes around the supreme power of the President - one major being the withdrawal from the Istanbul convention. The transformation affects the feminist movement

Embedded eigenvalues for asymptotically periodic ODE Systems

In this thesis we investigate the persistance of embedded eigenvalues under perturbations of a certain self-adjoint Schrödinger-type differential operator in L^2(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}^n), with an asymptotically periodic potential. The studied perturbations are small and belong to a certain Banach space with a specified decay rate, in particular, a weighted space of continuous matrix valued functio

Low Energy Building Materials Suitable for Bhutanese Architecture - Wood Wool Slab

Rammed earth is commonly used to construct traditional Bhutanese buildings. In colder areas, the thermal performance of these buildings is poor leading to the easy ingress of cold air demanding more heating energy to make a comfortable indoor climate. Modern insulation materials are not common in Bhutan due to the lack of knowledge on the advantage of thermal insulating materials, the unavaila

Optimization of a one-part geopolymerization method for lab-scale, using waste glass wool as a precursor

Tänk om vi kunde minska utsläppen av koldioxid och samtidigt hitta en återvinningsprocess för ett material som vanligtvis anses oåtervinningsbart. Detta examensarbete gör just detta. Hittar den bästa processen för att producera ett cementlikt material från kasserad glasull Materialitet kallas geopolymerer. Geopolymerer ar vanligtvis en blandning av lera med ett högt kisel innehåll och en basisk vGeopolymers are amorphous inorganic polymeric structures. They are used as binding agents and can be compared to cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement. This thesis aims to produce geopolymers from waste glass wool. Today glass wool is found in isolation, both thermal and sound insulation, and it is not being recycled. Most of the glass wool waste ends in landfills. Studies have b

Evaluation of a testing method for shear stiffness properties for cross laminated timber

Utvärdering av testmetod för bestämning av skjuvstyvhet för korslimmat trä Byggbranschen står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren. Cirka 20% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser kommer från just denna bransch. Betong, som länge varit ett tryggt och pålitligt val är en av bovarna i dramat. Nya mer klimatsmarta byggmaterial är därför ett måste. Ett allt mer populärt alternativ till betonCross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate a testing method whic

Mobile Money in Tanzania – A Panacea for Financial Inclusion?

Despite developments in economic growth theory, the importance of savings and investment has remained consistent. It intrinsically connects to the importance of functioning financial intermediation and high levels of financial inclusion. While Sub-Saharan Africa still lags, Tanzania has during the last decade seen a rapid rise in mobile money services. This paper attempts to answer the potential o

Open Access igår och idag : en rörelse i rörelse

In 2002 the Budapest Open Access Initiative was born, and shortly thereafter in 2003 the Bethesda Statement and the Berlin Declaration followed suit. These three initiatives are frequently viewed as the ground staples of the Open Access movement, and promoted free access to academic journals for everyone with an internet connection. These three initiatives has been studied in this essay, as well a
