Statlig övervakning & Personlig integritet: En narrativ litteraturgenomgång & kvalitativ dokumentanalys av hemlig övervakning, personlig integritet och statlig maktutövning

Hemlig övervakning är något som myndigheter uppskattar i sitt arbete mot brottslighet, men den kan även vara problematisk då den hamnar i konflikt med det grundläggande fri- och rättigheter som omfattar skyddet av den enskildes integritet. Bakgrunden i uppsatsen redogör för den personliga integriteten med koppling till lagar om tvångsmedel och därefter presenteras maktteorin utifrån Foucaults makt

Bidders earn nothing in acquisition deal”– does it apply in an emerging market?

This paper investigates whether the convention about wealth distribution in an M&A deal holds true for Acquirers of TMT-sector companies in Russia. The convention can be formulated as: In an M&A deal, bidders earn nothing, while targets enjoy wealth increase on average. The wealth effect on acquirers is measured by means of event study approach. The central tendencies of abnormal return an

Punktlighet för pendeltågstrafik i Stockholm - Analys av förseningsdata och fordonsdata

Arbetet ämnar till att undersöka eventuella samband mellan fordonsdata och förseningsdata för att fastställa om fordonsdata kan användas för att förutse förseningar. Fordonsdata som genererats till följd av behov för kontrollundersökning, i.e. felkoder, har kombinerats med förseningsdata från Stockholms pendeltåg mellan 2017-01-01 och 2018-12-08. Statistiska beräkningsmetoder har använts för att aThis thesis intends to investigate possible connections between vehicle data and delay data to determine whether vehicle data can be used to predict delays. Vehicle data generated as result of the need for inspection, that is, event codes, has been combined with delay data from Stockholm’s commuter trains between 2017 -01-01 and 2018-12-08. Statistical calculation methods were used to determine po

På fel sida i hållbarhetens framfart, de ohållbara

Denna studie undersöker hur landsbygden och framförallt hur lantbrukare förhåller sig till begreppet hållbart utifrån deras position i samhället. Lantbrukarnas inställning till hållbara praktiker kommer att lyftas fram i ljuset genom analyser av normsammansättning, klassanalys, centrum-och periferrelationer och analyser utifrån risk och skuld ur ett kulturteoretiskt perspektiv.

Chinese FDI and its effect on trade for the five African countries Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe

This thesis evaluates the effect of Chinese Foreign direct investment (FDI) on exports and imports for the five African countries: Angola, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe using the gravitational model. The gravitational model will analyze how both inward FDI investments and Chinese investments impact import and export by using a sample of 166 partner countries over the period 2003-2012.

Att konstruera ett socialt problem. En kritisk perspektivanalys av två kommunala arbetsmarknadsprojekt riktade mot långtidsarbetslösa

Unemployment and long-term unemployment is a recurring topic that is discussed in public debates. The recurring question is how society should solve this problem. But how and why is long-term unemployment considered a social problem? This essay aims to investigate two municipal labor market projects aimed at the long-term unemployed. The material was obtained from the City of Malmö's Labor and

Intra and interspecific variation in metabolic rates of Odonata: in search for metabolic allometry

Trollsländors metabolism ger svar på djurs utveckling Ett djurs energibehov Alla djur förbrukar energi för att kunna växa, reproducera sig och överleva. Eftersom energi är en begränsad resurs är vi tvungna att noggrant fördela den till olika konkurrerande energikrävande behov. Energi för livsnödvändiga processer prioriteras i jämförelse med icke-livsnödvändiga processer som till exempel reprodukt

Modelling the evolution of an ion beam through a 3 MV Pelletron accelerator

In this work simulations of the LIBAF Pelletron were performed to gain insight into the parameters that govern the machine operation and control. Three simulation packages: COMSOL, WARP and TURTLE/TRANSPORT were employed, and cross-validation of these software packages was performed by test-case simulations. The major components of the Pelletron were simulated on a individual basis to ensure their

Divergence in coding sequence of different functional categories of immune genes between species of the order Rodentia

How mice avoid diseases, a measure of divergence The response we have to diseases vary from person to person. In much the same way diseases affect and are battled in many different ways depending on the species. This happens due to differences in their immune system. So, what causes these differences? Well, they are mostly caused by differences in the DNA, the molecule which has the code for ever

Energy efficient Ericsson Many-Core Architecture (EMCA) IP blocks for 5G ASIC

Power consumption has become a leading concern for SoC aimed at 5G products that demand increased functionality, smaller form factors, and low energy footprint. For some EMCA IP blocks a hierarchical clock gating mechanism ensures coarse-grained power savings based on actual processing need but for many blocks this approach cannot be employed. This implies that these blocks have to rely on a high

Design of a radial-inflow microturbine for combined heat and power generation unit

This project aims to design a radial inflow microturbine that will be part of a system to generate both heat and electricity. Considering the specific power and the mass flow rates involved with the system, a radial inflow turbine was chosen. This type of turbine provides much larger power density in a single stage compared to the other types.

Generation Z has opened the can

This study has examined the relationship between the increase in consumption of white snus among Generation Z in Sweden and the branding strategies used by the nicotine brand LYFT. The purpose of this research has been to gain an understanding of how a brand can market a regulated product to a young consumer segment by conducting strategic communication prefered by these young individuals. The bac

Detection of allele-specific expression of TLR2 in a wild rodent using Real-Time qPCR and TaqMan probes

Förändrat uttryck av den muterade immunförsvars-genen TLR2 kan bidra till ökad resistens mot borrelia – en studie på immunförsvaret hos vilda gnagare Skogssorkar (Myodes glareolus) och andra vilda gnagare utgör de huvudsakliga bärarna av bakterien Borrelia afzelii. Dessa bakterier kan orsaka sjukdomen borrelia och sprids vanligen från gnagare till andra däggdjur via fästingar. Trots att sorkarna

"Who writes the rules on the internet?" - The conversation about Facebook in German news media between 2012 and 2021

Facebook is one of the most powerful internet companies worldwide with little to few alternatives on the market. With the power and size, scandals are part of the company’s history, and the public perception is ever-changing. How Facebook is viewed by the public has an impact on the company’s success, especially since it is built on its users’ data. The public opinion can be impacted by how conver

Migrants’ activism for development: challenges and opportunities to sustainable agricultural development in Italy. The role of immigrant and local activists to achieve sustainable development through the fulfilment of SDG 8 and 10 in the agricultural sector

This qualitative case-study highlights the importance of the phenomenon of migration, under the aspect of civic activism of migrants, and its impact on Italian agricultural sustainable development. Migrants are too often seen as a burden rather than active agents of development. The present research investigates how political activism of migrants develops and eventually affects the sustainable dev

Combating GBV and Building Feminist Peace in the Southern Cameroon Armed Conflict: The case of WILPF- Cameroon and SCEW.

Gender-based violence (GBV) be it in peace or conflict settings is a persistent problem that has gained grounds and concerns for activists, women’s organisations, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in general and international bodies like the United Nations. Social inequalities and cultural ideologies inform GBV and other forms of violence that are amplified in war times. Women in war play differe
