The aim of this study was to get a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages with electronic monitoring of offenders in Sweden, by interviewing KRIS-members (Kriminellas revansch i samhället) to get a user perspective. Another aim was to study how KRIS-members talked about relapse prevention combined with electronic monitoring. The study was based on six qualitative semi-structured

Miljömässiga vinster genom konstruktions- & materialtekniska lösningar -betong Byggindustrin står idag för 20 % av Sveriges inhemska utsläpp av växthusgaser. För konstruktörer och andra aktörer i branschen finns det idag få incitament att försöka minska användningen av cement, vars produktion är en av de största källorna till utsläpp från byggsektorn. Detta examensarbete undersöker några olikThe greenhouse effect and the emission of greenhouse gases, namely carbon dioxide, is a global issue which today permeates alot of the societal consciousness and therefore also alot of the conducted research. The construction industry is not different in this regard. The construction sector in Sweden, for example, generates more than 12 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents every yea

The sports movement in Sweden has for a long time been a key factor in health prevention and social work at a grassroots level. Through youth sports, school and at home children and teenagers have been introduced to the values and rules of society. With our study we aimed to make an intersectional analysis to see which values exist in the youth sports movement and how these values affect the young

For a business to be as successful as possible it needs a sound pricing strategy. A B2B environment allows the business more freedom to tailor each quote to maximize the performance.In order to do this, proper understanding of how probable a quote is to succeed is crucial. This work employs a statistical approach to predict the probability of acceptance based on historical data. Two different arch

In this rapid era of technology, speed of communication has become an important factor. To overcome this challenge, 5G/NR technology is being explored. One of the ways of doing this is by using the so called millimeter wave spectrum. In order to make usage of the mmWave spectrum, due to the high path loss it introduces, the beamforming technique is adopted. Beamforming is a method used in high fre

Author: Robina Karlsson Title: Documentation in social work (translated title) Supervisor: Elisabeth Carlstedt The aim of this study was to examine how social workers relate to and attribute meaning to the documentation in social work and what functions the documents have for them. The study was conducted by qualitative interviews with five social workers. The interviews were analyzed with a soc

I den första svenska jämställdhetslagen från 1979 skyddades bara diskrimineringsgrunden kön. Redan då insåg lagstiftaren att det behövdes en bevislättnad eftersom diskriminering bygger på att man vet orsaken till att arbetsgivaren har handlat på ett visst sätt. Jämställdhetslagens bevisbörderegel skapades som en presumtionsregel. En presumtionsregel innebär att arbetstagaren ska bevisa vissa omstäIn the first equality act of Sweden from 1979, the scope of the discrimination protections afforded under the act were limited by the gender of a given party. Already at that time, the legislator saw a need for a relaxation of the burden of proof as previously, discrimination matters turned on the requirement that the claimant be cognizant of why the defendant had acted in a certain manner. The r

Bakgrund: Forskning visar att både verksamma sjuksköterskor och sjuksköterskestudenter inte bedriver evidensbaserad omvårdnad (EBO) i den omfattning som enligt lag förväntas av en profession där beslut ska baseras på beprövad erfarenhet och vetenskap. Syftet var att undersöka sjuksköterskestudenters attityd till evidensbaserad omvårdnad. Metod: Studien är en litteraturstudie där åtta kvantitativa

Under 2013 presenterade OECD i samarbete med G20 15 åtgärdspunkter mot skattebaserodering och vinstförflyttning genom internationella bolagsstrukturer. Arbetet hos OECD fick namnet BEPS. Rekommendation 6 och rekommendation 7 i åtgärd 2 rör hybrida missmatchningar och dubbla avdrag. I ljuset av BEPS presenterades rådets direktiv (EU) 2016/1164 av den 12 juli 2016 om fastställande av regler mot skatDuring 2013 OECD, in collaboration with G20, presented 15 actions against base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”) through international structures. Recommendation 6 and 7 in action 2 refers to hybrid mismatches and double deductions. In the light of BEPS, the European Union presented Council Directive (EU) 2016/1164 of 12 July 2016 laying down rules against tax avoidance practices that directly

To reduce the costs and survive the challenges of migration, animals should flexibly respond to changing environmental conditions along the route. In long-distance migratory birds, available habitat can vary substantially and so individual flexibility is needed to optimally exploit foraging opportunities, particularly for species that have specialized diets. However, flexible behavioral responses Seabirds adjust their behavior to migrate over changing landscapes Tracking birds with GPS technology, like the one that lets us consult Google Maps in our phones, has given exciting insight into how they are able to fly thousands of kilometers in challenging conditions over oceans and deserts during migration. Yet there are many species with fascinating migratory strategies that have not been tr

Öring: Populär värdfisk för Vramsåns flodpärlmusslor Flodpärlmusslan är en av de äldsta djurarterna i Sverige och kan leva över 100 år. Den äldsta flodpärlmusslan hittades i Görjeån och var 280 år gammal. Det latinska namnet margaritifera margaritifera betyder pärlbärare och är en ytterligare fascinerande egenskap hos denna art. När ett främmande föremål, till exempel ett sandkorn, transporteras The freshwater pearl mussel Margaritifera margaritifera has dramatically declined through its entire distribution range since the 1900’s. Despite the increasing conservation measures implemented to protect the species, many populations are still endangered. The long-term objective of this research, realized in collaboration with Lund University and the Life Connects project, was to raise the succe

Controlling growth of a cell How incredible would it be to control growth of cells? One of the most basic mechanisms in life. This knowledge would be especially useful for treating threatening cells such as cancer cells or pathogenic bacteria. It would be lifesaving to understand and determine their growth. Here the focus is on growth of bacteria, particularly those belonging to the genus Strepto

En pandemi är ett typexempel på force majeure: det är en genomgripande händelse för hela samhället. Så också för byggbranschen. Under våren 2020 drabbades många entreprenader av personalbrist och leveransproblem. Störningarna var dock kortvariga och den övergripande bilden är att byggbranschen klarat sig förhållandevis väl genom pandemin. En långsiktig förändring är kravet på smittskyddsgärder. SyA pandemic is a classic example of force majeure. In spring 2020, due to the corona virus, a lot of construction sites was affected by a lack of personal and delivery problem. The problems were however only temporary, and the overall picture is that the construction business has done relatively well during the pandemic. Something that is permanent is the requirement for prevention of infection at

Model predictive control can be used to control a range of processes, from selfdriving cars to chemical plants. The education of the engineering students that in the future will design these controllers is an important matter. In this thesis, three Matlab toolboxes have been evaluated and compared from a student’s perspective. The toolboxes are Mathwork’s own toolbox called Model Predictive Contro
