In 2019, a national incident operation was introduced by the Swedish police to reduce gun-shootings in public space, and to achieve public safety and security. The operation - known as Operation Rimfrost - introduced a new intelligence-based method to combat crime, which involved the use of different surveillance technologies in public space. "From a social space analysis perspective of Opera

The use of millimetre-wave frequencies in Fifth generation New Radio has lead to high path loss due to radio propagation environment. Simultaneously, high data rates is a must for current products due to high market demand. This requirement accounts for efficient tracking of the best beam for the user equipment to stay connected to it. Current products at Ericsson use such methods of beam manageme

This paper explores the news media discourse that followed after the fatal shooting of Karolin Hakim in Malmö August 2019. Her death was in the early stages connected to gang-related violence and received significant media coverage. This discourse analysis examines news articles from the initial news reporting, and throughout the rest of 2019.The theoretical framework is anchored in post-colonial

Trots att forskningen kring transpersoner har ökat exponentiellt de senaste decennierna så vet vi fortfarande lite om den könsbekräftande vården utanför samhällets dominerande institutioner. Utifrån gruppintervjuer och självbiografiska inslag möjliggör denna uppsats en ökad förståelse för de som utför hormonbehandlingar utanför det officiella vårdsystemet. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på hur den sveAlthough the field of transgender studies has grown exponentially during the last decades, little is still known about gender affirmative medication outside institutionalized settings. Based on group interviews and autoethnographic accounts, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of practitioners of unprescribed hormone replacement therapy. The focus will be put on how the Swedish welfare stat

Since 2010, the Danish governments have issued an annual list of disadvantaged social housing areas in Denmark, which later became known as the "ghetto list" (ghettolisten). The list categorizes social housing areas with socioeconomic problems, and where many of the residents are immigrants or descendants with non-western backgrounds. The list is accompanied by political strategies (know

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om investmentbolags och deras portföljbolag rapporterar om liknande aspekter i sin hållbarhetsrapportering, genom att identifiera likheter och skillnader i rapporteringen. Vidare kommer studien även undersöka varför dessa likheter och skillnader finns. Metod: Denna studie jämför hållbarhetsrapporteringen i fyra svenska investmentbolag och deras börs

The data-based verification of autonomous driving functionalities requires the detection of driving scenarios and driving styles. Driving scenarios define the tasks that the functionalities have to master, whereas the driving style has an impact on the traffic and thus the recorded traffic scenarios. In this thesis we consider two machine learning models which extract driving scenarios and driving

The aim of this study is to investigate professionals’ perception of the project Sluta skjut in Malmö, Sweden. This will be done by examining the outcomes of the project, which are identified by the professionals along with their perception of the implementation of the Group Violence Intervention strategy (GVI). The chosen method is qualitative semi-structured interviews with 10 workers from vario

While the global foreign aid trend has shifted closer to security, the Development Assistance Committee prohibits donor countries from giving aid for military purposes or the donor countries’ security interests. Many scholars observed that several projects of Japan’s Official Development Assistance are, to a large extent, military aid or driven by national interests. In this paper, I answer the re

Då städerna förtätas blir det alltmer aktuellt att förlägga anläggningar under marken. För att få åtkomst till underjorden, vid t.ex. ett tunnelbygge, så konstrueras vertikala åtkomstschakt, se Figur 1. För att förhindra att schaktet rasar samman så används någon form av stödkonstruktion för att hålla emot det horisontella jordtrycket. Den geometriska utformningen av stödkonstruktionen kan på olikUrbanisation is causing densification of cities and more and more facilities are being placed in the underground to utilise the urban space as efficiently as possible. Access to the underground is obtained by constructing vertical access shafts. By constructing the shaft with a circular plan geometry, an effective construction is obtained which can carry large earth pressure loads by utilising the

This study aimed to investigate on the employees in new ventures and focused on the perceived person-job fit and person-organization fit among staff members working in Swedish and Danish start-ups. Additionally, this study intended to understand how the perceived fit affects the employees’ job satisfaction and turnover intention. Moreover, this research was interested to see whether the start-ups

This thesis investigates the effect of commuting time on labour supply using US household survey data. To circumvent biased estimates as working hours and commuting time are jointly determined by the worker, a first differences approach is carried out, in which changes in the commute are assumed to be exogenous. The estimates suggest that there is no causal effect on labour supply that can be deri

The aim of this study is to further understand the usage of cultural values to affect Generation Z and how the values connected to the generation, defined by earlier researchers, is used to create brand authenticity. Generation Z is known as an honest and value driven generation who has grown up with the internet as a part of their lives. The study is based on Hedvig, a Swedish insurance company w

Biogas has been acknowledged as one of the most important aspects for sustainable development. It is a renewable energy technology being promoted especially in developing countries for poverty reduction and climate change action. Despite concerted efforts to alleviate poverty, production and adoption of biogas remains very low in Zambia, and they prompt some questions: How do institutional, situat

Women’s political representation in Zimbabwe has been low since independence in 1980. Studies on women’s access to political decision-making, representation and agency in Africa, including Zimbabwe, is limited. Therefore, this dissertation aims to contribute to localized and contextualized knowledge on the barriers for women’s political representation through a case study of the 2018 harmonised el

ndia ranges among the countries experiencing most water stress in recent years, while being a major virtual water net exporter. The country’s position relative to its water sources exacerbated since its trade liberalization in the early 1990’s, which calls for a future national water crisis. To comprehend India’s water stress, this study aims to examine the country’s agricultural water use at thre

Peptider är mindre versioner av protein. Det som man vanligtvis kan läsa på innehållsförteckningen på de flesta matvaror i dagen samhälle. Peptiderna i sig består av aminosyror som kan anses vara de minsta byggstenarna för peptider och proteiner. Peptider och proteiner spelar en stor roll i våra biologiska system. Proteiner och peptider bidrar till flera viktiga processer. Proteiner hjälper till mUnderstanding of the self-assembly behaviour of peptides is of great interest within several different areas such as neurodegenerative diseases, biotechnology, and peptide pharmaceuticals. In this work we have compared the impact on the self-assembly behaviour derived from systematic changes of the primary structure of A8K, where A denotes alanine and K lysine. Model peptides derived from A8K incl

Yearly thousands travel from around the globe to Peru to participate in the ceremonial consumption of ayahuasca under the guidance of a shaman. The brew stimulates a psychedelic state in users that triggers hallucinations, powerful emotional responses,and severe physical reactions, all of which are codified into ritual practice. Drawing from ethnographic material gathered from one month of field w
