The law regarding sexwork in Sweden was enforced in 1999, where sexwork is lawful but buying sex is not. Due to the fact that the law is grounded on a radical feminist standpoint, it has led sexworkers to societally be seen as victims of diverse forms of violence, including sexual and has led sexworkers to find themselves in difficult situations. This thesis focuses on the different life stages pr

I kursen "Arkitektur i tid och rum" utforskas befintliga byggnader och hur de kan transformeras. Transformation är en viktig aspekt inom arkitektur och i dagens hållbarhetstänk har den aldrig varit mer aktuell. Transformation av befintliga byggnader är ett miljövänligare alternativ till nybyggnation, vilket minskar resursanvändningen samtidigt som ett kulturhistoriskt värde kan bevaras s

The testing process at Region Skåne consists of four phase

This thesis explores the impact of international remittances on household welfare in Morocco using a Propensity Score Matching approach. The purpose of the study is to assess the causal effect of these financial inflows on household expenditure, specifically on essential and temptation goods. Utilising national survey data, I find that households receiving remittances show a substantial increase i

Denna studie undersöker och besvarar huruvida det är mer värt ur ett ekonomiskt perspektiv att renovera ett 50-talshus i originalskick än att bygga ett nytt hus när samma krav på inomhusmiljö ställs. Kraven ställs främst på luftkvalitén, men gäller även värmedistribution och levnadssätt. För att få en generell bild och ett resultat som kan användas i övergripande sammanhang har två alternativa utfThis study examines and answers whether it is more profitable from a financial point of view to renovate a 1950s house in its original condition than to build a new house when the same requirements are made regarding the indoor environment. The demands are primarily set on the air quality, but they also apply to heat distribution and lifestyle/usage. In order to get the big picture and a result wh

The EU approved the EHDS in April of 2024, a piece of legislation that regulates how member states store, handle and give access to health data. It presents both opportunities and challenges for member states. Therefore, the focus of this study is to explore and identify any current possible blocking mechanisms in Sweden in relation to the implementation of the EHDS. The study adopts an interpreti

I dagens konsumtionssamhälle präglas konsumenter ständigt av olika trender och skönhetsideal som sprids och förmedlas på sociala medier samt som anses viktiga för vissa konsumenter att följa. Influencers har i takt med detta blivit de nya opinionsledarna som förmedlar trender och skönhetsideal som förväntas följa för att passa in i samhällets normer. Tidigare forskning har fokuserat på hur företag

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur Sveriges regering framställt migration med särskild betoning på säkerhet i regeringsförklaringar under åren 2014, 2019 och 2022. För att analysera dessa regeringsförklaringar har studien tillämpat Köpenhamnsskolans säkerhetiseringsteori, som utforskar hur frågor omvandlas till säkerhetsproblem snarare än att behandlas vanliga politiska eller socioekonom“Migration as a securitization question?

Optimering av DNA-extraktion för brottsutredande analys Har du någon gång undrat vad som händer med de prov som spårsäkrats på en brottsplats? Omkring 70 000 brottsplatsspår analyseras årligen på Nationellt forensiskt centrum (NFC) i syfte att kunna knyta det till en person genom framtagning av en DNA-profil. Detta görs via STR-analys, där korta upprepande fragment i DNA:t analyseras. Eftersom indDNA extraction is a fundamental step in forensic analysis, directly impacting the accuracy of subsequent analysis. At the Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC), ChelexDirect is currently the routine method for DNA extraction. Following extraction, samples are analyzed using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and Short Tandem Repeat (STR) analysis to obtain a DNA profile. The objective of this study

This thesis investigated the prediction accuracy of offshore wind power using machine learning and classical time series methods. We used Support Vector Regression (SVR) with a Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel along the Autoregressive (AR) model. Time series cross-validation with data from the Lillgrund Wind Farm and hyperparameter tuning were used to enhance the performance of both models. Thro

Favouring good soil health is pivotal for ensuring long term agricultural production by minimizing erosion, increasing soil carbon content, increasing the soil water holding capacity and decreasing the soil bulk density. Certain land management practices can disfavour factors for soil health and in-extent lead to soil degradation which can threaten food production and natural habitats. Soil organi

Jordbrukets matproduktion är helt nödvändigt för mänskligheten, samtidigt som det moderna jordbruket bidrar till en stor klimatpåverkan. Produktion av konstgödsel och bekämpningsmedel, dieseldrivna traktorer och skördetröskor och transporter orsakar en stor del av problemet, utsläppen från våra jordar en annan. Intensiv odling leder ofta till att organiskt kol som varit bundet i marken går förloraImproved management of agricultural soils to sequester carbon from the atmosphere is considered an important climate mitigation measure. Intensive agriculture often leads to degradation of soil organic carbon (SOC), contributing to climate change and loss of soil ecosystem services. Interventions in agricultural management can halt or reverse the loss of SOC. Annual SOC change rates for interventi
