In 1999, Sweden became the first country in the world to criminalize the purchase of sex rather than the selling of it. During this time, the Netherlands revoked its ban on brothels, which made prostitution legal but partly regulated by the government. The purpose of this study has been to investigate social workers' views on prostitution in Sweden and the Netherlands. The study was conducted

Swedish child and youth care is constantly developing. The legislation has revealed the intentions and core values established to guide the social services work with children and young people.

They are required to make context-specific individual judgments within the broader legal framework

Bakgrund: Personer med autism har annorlunda sensorisk bearbetning vilket påverkar vardagsaktiviteter i hemmet och samhället. Omfattande forskning om barn med autism speglar hur sensoriska problem påverkar skolaktiviteter och fritidsaktiviteter som bidrar till stress, sämre deltagande i sociala umgängen och arbetsuppgifter. Även om vuxna personer med autism har sensoriska svårigheter belyser forskBackground: People with autism have a different sensory processing which affects daily occupations at home and in society. Extensive research about children with autism reflects how sensory difficulties affect school and leisure activities which contribute to stress, poorer participation in social gatherings and tasks. Although adults with autism experience sensory difficulties, research rarely hi

Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with social workers active in the field. T

Lampetra planeri or Brook Lamprey is an aquatic fish-like species, characterized by its lack of jaws and long eel-like morphology. The species is usually found in small streams with gravel or sandy riverbeds and has seen a strong population decline during the last few decades. The primary goal of this thesis was to investigate if combined sewer overflows prevent the further spread of the Lampetra

This thesis aims to examine the possibilities and obligations that an employer in the private sector has towards an employee who uses or has used drugs. Swedish labour law lacks regulation and case law concerning the measures that may be taken in the event of an employee’s drug use. Due to the absence of specific legislation, an analogical interpretation is made based on the provisions that regula

In an era of widespread disinformation, understanding how individuals navigate diverse media is critical. To address this, this thesis investigates how South Africans engage with news across different media formats, focusing on the role of semiotic systems, sensory modalities, and trust in shaping news engagement behaviours. The study poses four research questions: 1) What kind of media do South A

The following study explores the economical and political determinants influencing the Swedish parliamentary election outcomes, through the lens of statistical modeling. With analysis of election data from 1970-2022, we employed both multiple regression and ridge regression to explore the following key variables: immigration, taxation, unemployment, inflation, poll performance, incumbency, margina

Power-to-X (PtX) is an emerging approach in decarbonizing industries hard to electrify, and is in many cases requiring stable hydrogen supply to maximize production. Hydrogen is produced via electrolysis and requires large amounts of electricity, which can be expensive, especially when considering highly fluctuating electricity prices. One solution in reducing electricity related costs is to integ

This study investigates the thermal-hydraulic performance of a passive Reactor Cavity Cooling System (RCCS) designed for a 250 MW molten salt reactor. The analysis focuses on the feasibility of natural convection-driven cooling as a passive safety mechanism. Simulations were performed using MATLAB and validated with COMSOL to evaluate the system under varying pipe configurations, diameters, and ou

Children who are placed in foster care because of neglect or abuse have the right to maintain the relationship with their parents, as per the Swedish LVU law, though this is more often than not a complex feat to achieve. The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that children who are capable of forming their views shall be given the right to express those views freely in all matters affecti

Bioinformatiska verktyg för att hitta lungcancermutationer i RNA Lungcancer är idag den dödligaste typen av cancer, där 50% av patienterna diagnostiseras för sent. Om diagnosen kan ges i tid kan fler liv räddas. Kan analys av RNA vara lösningen på att diagnostisera fler patienter i tid? Inom cancer diagnostiken har främst DNA använts för att hitta mutationer i tumörvävnad. Ny forskning visar lovThis project has investigated tools that could be used for somatic (non-inherited) variant calling using RNA-sequence (RNA-seq) data from patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Identifying specific genetic variation causing growth of cancerous cells have been a major challenge within cancer research and diagnostics. Variant calling uses sequenced data to analyze differences in the genom

The goal of this study is to analyze the changing nature of Swedish psychiatry, in particular St. Lars institutional psychiatric hospital. Through the theme of change, we use the academic theories of new-intuitional theory and emotional sociological theory. We conducted six semi-structured interviews consisting of the staff who worked at St. Lars Psychiatric Hospital in Lund between 1971 to 2011.

Kan laser upptäcka komplikationer efter kirurgi? Varje år genomgår hundratals patienter esofagektomi – en omfattande canceroperation där delar av matstrupen tas bort och återkopplas till mag-tarmkanalen. Men för många slutar operationen med allvarliga komplikationer. Vad kan vi göra för att förhindra detta? Att överleva en stor operation är bara början. För patienter som genomgått en esofagektomiThis study explores the application of laser-based techniques for measuring blood perfusion to predict anastomotic leaks (AL) following esophagectomy. ALs, a significant postoperative complication, are primarily associated with inadequate perfusion at the surgical site, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Techniques such as Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), Laser Speckle

På järnvägsstationer passerar dagligen många människor som pendlar till och från arbete eller skola och ofta sker byter mellan olika transportmedel. Vid dessa byten behöver oskyddade trafikanter (fotgängare, cyklister och elsparkcyklister) ofta korsa en väg vid ett övergångsställe. Beroende på övergångsställets reglering uppstår olika beteenden och konflikter. Oväntade beteenden hos oskyddade trafAt railway stations many people pass daily commuting to and from work or school, often switching between different forms of transportation. During the change of transportation, the unprotected road users (pedestrians, cyclists, and e-scooters) might need to cross a road at a crosswalk. Depending on the form om regulation of the crosswalk different behaviors and conflicts occurs. Unexpected behavio

Omreglering av anställningsvillkor har inte omfattats av LAS förrän vid införandet av 7 a-7 b §§ år 2022. Arbetstagaren gavs ett skydd vid hyvling som innebär omreglering till sänkt sysselsättningsgrad. Det finns fler anställningsvillkor som kan omregleras och som leder till ekonomisk förlust för arbetstagaren, såsom sänkt lön eller borttagning av förmåner. Uppsatsen kommer att utreda skälen till

The purpose of this study was to examine men’s and women’s experiences of honor-based violence through six podcast episodes and to identify any differences and similarities between the genders. The theoretical frameworks applied in this study to understand honor-based violence were intersectionality and Foucault’s theory of power. A purposeful selection was used to select six episodes in total. Al
