This thesis explores the application of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) for relative depth estimation from dense matches between images. The main goals were to investigate the feasibility of using dense matches alone for this task, assess the performance improvement offered by GNNs over classical methods, and identify the most suitable features. The methodology involved utilizing the matches from Den

Denna uppsats analyserar hur nationella domstolar inom EU bör hantera digi-tal bevisning som inhämtats i andra medlemsstater, med särskilt fokus på den kontroversiella EncroChat-operationen. Genom rättsdogmatisk och kompara-tiv metod granskas rättsutvecklingen i fem EU-länder – Sverige, Frankrike, Tyskland, Nederländerna och Belgien – för att belysa spänningen mellan det ömsesidiga erkännandets krThis thesis examines how national courts within the European Union should assess digital evidence obtained in other Member States, with a particular fo-cus on the controversial EncroChat operation.

The European Union’s identity as a normative power has long been examined and contested, most famously by Ian Manners' conceptualization in his 2002 work, Normative Power Europe. This study critically reassesses the EU's proposed identity through the lens of its responses to two pivotal crises: the Syrian conflict (2012-2015) and the 2016 EU-Türkiye Refugee Deal. The research interrogates

Recognition of the inevitable impacts all human production and consumption have on the environment and the well-being of the planet has gained increased prominence in global development agendas and debates. Whilst companies have conventionally assumed a peripheral role in such debates, and within global environmental governance, they are increasingly expected to partake in sustainability efforts.

The background of this bachelor thesis is that knowledge of Swedish national identity appears to have been lost and needs to be reawakened. The aim is to investigate whether there is something typically Swedish that has been passed down through generations and which needs to be rediscovered and reinforced for a more secure future in Sweden. To meet the aim of the analysis and guide the thesis, the

This paper explores how historical differences during colonization have shaped Indigenous political rights in Australia and New Zealand. Using postcolonialism and historical institutionalism as theoretical frameworks, the study compares the long-term impact of colonial policies, legal structures, and political recognition. New Zealand’s colonization involved a formal treaty–the Treaty of Waitangi–

This thesis explores whether leaders of the European Union adopt more masculine-coded symbols in their online self-representations during times of crisis. It focuses on the illustrative cases of Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel, analysing how their Instagram performances in the immediate aftermath of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 differed from their portrayals during a per

Why don't we learn about nutrition and cooking at school? Primary research and interviews conducted at a high school in Lund reveal that parents are the ones cooking (or ordering takeaways) at home, and that students have no understanding of how food is prepared in their school. At university, students are most commonly seen eating frozen meals and pasta for lunch. Yet Swedish students receive

Våldsutvecklingen i Sverige kan spåras till de förorts- och stadsdelsbaserade gängen och den organiserade brottsligheten i landet anses vara ett av samtidens största problem. För att inte skada grundläggande värden, som demokrati och rättssäkerhet, är det nödvändigt att motverka den organiserade brottsligheten. Oaktat hur brottslig en verksamhet är, saknas det förutsättningar enligt svensk gällandCausing the development of violence in Sweden, organized criminal organizations are considered being one of societies greatest problems. Fundamental values such as democracy and legal security are threatened by the organized crime. Requiring governmental actions to fight organized crime, SOU 2025:2, recommend a change in the Swedish constitution. RF 2 kap. 24§ 2 st. suggests having following formu

The European Union regularly portrays itself as a normative power committed to values such as human rights, solidarity, and the rule of law, while the EU Turkey Statement of 2016 has raised questions about the coherence between this self-image and the EU’s external migration practices. This thesis investigates how the Statement is linguistically legitimised in political and media discourse, as

En stad är aldrig färdig, genom byggda förändringar och omförhandlade relationer. Samtidigt är en stad alltid färdig genom nuet hos dem som bor i den. Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka denna paradox och hur medvetenheten om tid och förändring kan berika design. Det studerade området för projektet är Varvsstaden i Malmö. En plats som en gång i tiden var en del av ett av världens största skeA city is always in the process of becoming, through built changes and renegotiated relationships. At the same time, a city is always finished through the present of those who live in it. This project aims to investigate this paradox and how the awareness of time and change can enrich design. The studied area of the project is Varvsstaden in Malmö. A place which was once a part of one of the lar

This interview study explores how efforts to reduce the number of NEETs works and if there is a gap in the ideas of how these efforts work between NEETs and local authorities in Malmö. This study brings forth the voices of NEETs and representatives from local authorities that work with the group on a professional basis. The purpose of the study is two-folded.

With the brief of creating a solution for off-grid environments powered by solar cells, and the countless of solvable tasks existing in certain off-grid places I opted to looking at the highly populated areas of off-grid living and how the most basic needs are being met there. The meaning of off-grid is that a living space, house, or village, is self-sufficient. The living space isn’t connected to

Climate change is increasingly prominent as a security threat within the security discourse. The long-term consequences of climate change contribute to its complexity, and how this issue is represented in national policy affects both public perception and policy response. Sweden, positioning itself as a frontrunner in tackling climate change while experiencing one of the highest increases in tempe

This thesis examines the external effectiveness of the European Green Deal (EGD) through a case study of Qatar. While the EGD positions the European Union (EU) as a global leader in sustainability, its extraterritorial impact, particularly via the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), raises questions about how these n

This thesis investigates how authoritarian leaders justify the restructuring of state institutions and the dismissal of bureaucratic officials, with a focus on the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under President Trump's second administration. By applying a critical discourse analysis of two policy documents: an executive order and a memorandum, the study ex

Amidst global strategic rivalry and the growing politicization of interdependence and technology, structural influence within transnational economic systems underpinning high-tech industries has become an increasingly important source of strategic leverage. Within this context, this thesis investigates whether the European Union (EU) can derive geoeconomic power from its position in the global sem

This thesis explores the conditions and factors necessary for achieving sustainability and generating long term effects from collaborative projects in the public sector. Accordingly, this paper will examine a pilot crime prevention project in Lund municipality and investigate its conditions and resources to attain sustainable organizational structures. The paper is conducted in collaboration with

This thesis investigates the potential role of informal breaks within Scandinavian peace diplomacy, with a particular focus on the tradition of fika - a social coffee-break, put simply. While formal diplomatic processes are often the focus, we argue that informal moments such as fika can offer valuable opportunities for fostering additional trust, ease tensions, and encourage open dialogue in ways

In 1966, National Librarian Uno Willers expressed concerns about the condition of Sweden’s four legal deposit copies intended for long-term preservation. Since then, access has improved, internal library work has changed due to technological and societal developments, and the responsibility for long-term preservation has been reduced to two libraries – the National Library (KB) and Lund University
