The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the understanding of everyday leisure travel for social and recreational trip purposes by describing and problematising car use for such trips. Leisure trips are a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and reductions are needed to mitigate climate change. Technical solutions, such as electric vehicles, contribute but research has demonstrate

This study examined how the number of explanatory variables included in a linear regression model affects model quality. The maximum number of variables was set to 20 and only models describing quantitative data were studied. The effect on model quality was studied through comparisons of models with different numbers of explanatory variables. The models – and the data sets the models were derived

I Sverige lever många barn i hem präglade av våld och övergrepp, trots att de har en ovillkorlig rätt till skydd. Umgänge med en våldsutövande förälder, även kallat tvångsumgänge, kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för barnet. När domstolen beslutar om umgänge ska barnets bästa vara avgörande. Vid bedömningen av barnets bästa ska risken för att barnet far illa särskilt beaktas. Syftet med uppsatsen äIn Sweden, many children live in homes marked by violence and abuse, despite having an unconditional right to protection. Contact with a violent parent, often referred to as forced contact, can have severe consequences for the child. When courts decide on contact arrangements, the best interests of the child must be the determining factor. In assessing the child’s best interests, particular consid

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

Det uppdaterade Öresundsavtalet mellan Sverige och Danmark markerar en modernisering av det tidigare avtalets regler i en tid präglad av förändrade arbetsmönster. Avtalet, som inkluderar både privat- och offentliganställda, syftar till att förenkla beskattning för gränspendlare och arbetsgivare. Tillsammans med Öresundsöverenskommelsen som reglerar socialförsäkringstillhörighet förläggs beskattnin

This edited work draws on a range of contributed expertise to trace the fortune of an Aristotelian thesis over different periods in the history of philosophy. It presents eight cases of direct or indirect challenges to the Aristotelian passive account of human cognition, taking the reader from late antiquity to the 20th century. Chapters analyse the (often indirect) effect of Aristotle’s account o

PurposeDual design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) takes into account both the opportunities and constraints of AM simultaneously, which research shows is more effective than considering them separately. Unlike existing reviews, this paper aims to map DfAM research within the engineering design process, focusing solely on studies adopting dual DfAM. Additionally, it aims to suggest future resear

Since 2010, it has become increasingly clear that North Germanic word accents have a strong predictive function in speech processing. Recent findings on the semantic effects of word accents might appear contradictory to this interpretation. However, we show that the predictive perspective is crucial for understanding these semantic effects.

Audio description (AD) serves a critical role in making audio-visual media accessible to visually impaired audiences, aiming to enhance their viewing experience and comprehension (Holsanova 2016, 2022). A central inquiry in the context of successful AD pertains to how the sequence of events unfolding in a film aligns with the verbal narration conveyed through AD (Vandaele 2012). Accumulating resea

Over-frequency has become an increasingly relevant issue in the Nordic synchronous power system, mainly because of the increased number of HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) links connecting it to neighboring synchronous systems. The aim of this thesis is to research the impact that over-frequency events, caused by faults in HVDC links, have on the Nordic power system and especially what frequenci
