The use of cannabis has increased in Sweden, and Malmö is one of the cities in which a big part of the inhabitants have tried the illicit drug. At the same time, the government works to increase the sanctions on cannabis use and possession. Thus, since the legislation on cannabis in Sweden is becoming more strict while a big part of Malmös citizens use cannabis, this study has aimed to investigate

Dagens alltmer retributiva kriminalpolitik utgör en bakgrund till att medling vid brott för unga lagöverträdare har identifierats som ett ämne som är värt att undersöka närmare. Studiens syfte är att belysa hur medlare i Skåne beskriver och uppfattar medlingens praktik, med fokus på de hinder som medlingsverksamheten står inför och som tycks begränsa dess potential. Empirin består av sex intervjue

Studien undersöker om det finns skillnader i innovationsgraden hos svenska techbolag finansierade av koncernägt venture capital (CVC) respektive privat venture capital (IVC). Detta undersöks genom en regression av kvantitativ paneldata med ett urval på 392 bolag och 4 432 datapunkter. Datan är insamlad från Refinitiv Eikon, Retriever Business och PAtLink. Resultatet visar att koncernägt venture ca

Fluorescence, the optical phenomenon whereby short-wavelength light is absorbed and emitted at longer wavelengths, has been widely described in aquatic habitats, in both invertebrates and fish. Recent years have seen a stream of articles reporting fluorescence, ranging from frogs, platypus, to even fully terrestrial organisms such as flying squirrels, often explicitly or implicitly linking the pre

Over the years, flight safety has improved through reliable automated systems, but accidents still occur where pilots are faced with unexpected technical malfunctions without previous training. This thesis aimed to investigate possible ways to develop evidence-based training further to prepare pilots for managing unexpected events by identifying resilient promoting strategies applicable in daily f

This paper will examine the role the three most prominent Swedish actors of Försvarsmakten, SIDA and SCA had. This will be done by conducting a case study and examining the data that exists regarding the impact of the projects undertaken. This data takes the form of reports and evaluations discussing their respective involvement and contains information regarding the issues they faced. The data al

This thesis explores the motivations for remote work among employees in Lund’s municipality and evaluates their perceptions regarding its impact on gender equality. The study is guided by two primary research questions: RQ1) What are the motivations of employees in Lund's municipality for engaging in remote work? RQ2) What are their perceptions of the impacts of remote work on gender equality?

This thesis is a thought experiment challenging the status quo by exploring how greater income equality between countries does not necessarily lead to higher CO2 emissions. Based on a theoretical framework linking income increases to CO2 emissions, it is expected that greater income equality will lead to higher consumption, but CO2 emissions will not increase proportionally. Using data on Gross Na

The Athenian graffiti functions as a testament of creativity and artistry occurring during the hard times of socioeconomic and political crisis in Greece the last seven years. The impact of Greece's crisis is unavoidably presented through urban art in downtown Athens. This extensive street art practice on Athenian walls as a linguistic and imagery line is approached in this work via the semiotic a

This chapter examines discourses on the digitalization of consumption based on field work conducted at some of the many trade fairs for e-commerce that pop up every year in different cities all over Europe. It builds on studying the role played by consumer research in the performative enactment of consumer subjectivities. The chapter focuses on how consumer subjectivities are constructed and how p

Lokala Facebookgrupper, en grupp för invånarna i en stad, är ett fenomen som blivit mycket vanligt de senaste åren. I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur olika problem lyfts i en sådan Facebookgrupp och hur problemen diskuteras. Detta för att ta reda på vilka problem som tas upp, genom vilka diskurser och vad det får för konsekvenser för uppfattningen av problemen. Utgångspunkten är att problem inte e

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a major risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and trigger finger (TF), but less is known regarding the risk of developing T2D after being diagnosed with CTS or TF. CTS and TF could be early signs of preclinical T2D, and early detection of T2D is crucial to prevent complications and morbidity. Therefore, we investigate the association between CTS/TF and T

The following thesis investigates the electron and photon transport in a microwave resonator coupled double quantum dot (DQD). The investigation and description of this system are done mathematically. The DQD is also treated uncoupled from the resonator, for a description without photon interaction. Mathematically the system is analyzed using a density matrix as well as a master equation approach.

Glioblastom är en mycket aggressiv hjärntumör som trots över 100 år utav forskning i snitt dödar patienter åtta månader efter diagnos. I denna studie undersöks alternativa behandlingsmetoder för den svullnad som drabbar patienten när tumören växer och opereras. Om man lyckas hitta ett alternativ till kortison, som idag används, finns det stor potential i att behandla glioblastompatienter med virusGlioblastoma is a highly aggressive brain tumor that kills roughly 9,000 Americans yearly. Although a known disease for over a century, little progress has been made in treatment development. A breakthrough may be on its way as recent research suggests glioblastoma patients can be treated with virus injections, oncolytic virotherapy in medical terms. However, this treatment method is somewhat inhi

Denna forskning fokuserar på hjärtfrekvensvariation (HRV), vilket är fluktuationer i tidsintervallet mellan följande hjärtslag. Dessa variationer samlas in genom användandet av ett elektrokardiogram (EKG). Genom att analysera HRV data från 97 deltagande, syftar denna studie till att upptäcka om olika faktorer som ålder, kön, ångest, och kroppsmått påverkar HRV. Att förstå HFV är väsentligt eftersoHeart rate variability (HRV) describes the variations in time intervals between heartbeats. The signals are usually recorded from electrocardiogram (ECG) beat detection. In this thesis, HRV signals of 97 participants were analyzed using spectral and statistical analysis. The signals are non-stationary, however, the data was treated approximately short time stationary. Using spectral analysis, powe

Although digital technology (DT) is often introduced with the aim of enhancing organizational knowledge transfer and learning, these aims often fail to materialize. The information systems (IS) literature attributes such unexpected outcomes to inappropriate technology design and implementation, as well as to overuse, misuse, and non-use of technology. However, we know little about how actors misus

People who inject drugs are frequently colonized with Staphylococcus aureus and have an increased risk for skin and soft tissue infections. This longitudinal study aims to describe S. aureus carriage in this group and the risk for infections during a 1-year follow-up. We included 61 participants from the Malmö Needle Exchange Program. Mapping of S. aureus carriage was conducted by screening cultur

The UN-affiliated World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that in 2019, more than 90 % of people living on Earth were constantly exposed to concentrations of ambient outdoor pollutants higher than the air quality guideline limits. One of the most notorious air pollutants is particulate matter, consisting of fine natural or anthropogenic particles suspended in the air. Recent studies have shown t

Cement är ett av världens mest använda material och agerar som bindemedel i betong och murbruk. Portlandcement, som är den mest förekommande typen av cement, produceras årligen i en kvantitet av fyra miljarder ton. Cementproduktionen står för ca 7 % av de globala koldioxidutsläppen och det finns ett stort intresse i att hitta alternativa vägar och optimeringsmöjligheter, för att minimera klimatpåvCement is one of the world's most used materials and acts as a binder in concrete and mortar. Portland cement, which is the most common type of cement, is produced annually in a quantity of four billion metric tons. Cement production accounts for approximately 7 % of the global carbon dioxide emissions and there is a great interest in finding alternative routes and optimization possibilities,
