This study examines periods as a question of politics, by highlighting experts’ views on knowledge about menstrual health in Sweden, from a feminist and human rights perspective. Previous studies have indicated that knowledge regarding menstrual health is lacking, hindering women’s from achieving fundamental human rights. This study's purpose is thus to create a greater understanding of menstr

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, multiple countries in central and eastern Europe have gone through a democratization process yet trust in institutions have remained low in these countries. Now Poland and Hungary are experiencing a democratic backsliding and autocratization and still trust in institutions remain low but stable. This paper examines whether these countries’ autocratic past are in

This paper seeks to provide insight on the status and fertility of e-voting as a leveling agent in the municipalities of Haparanda and Botkyrka, which has the lowest voter turnout in Sweden. Through quantitative surveys in the townships, and further interviewing the development manager of the Swedish election committee. The collected material on e-voting was tested on parts of the rational choice

Den 4 maj 2021 publicerades betänkandet Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) med ett lagförslag om kriminalisering av rasistiska organisationer. Frågan om att införa ett sådant förbud i Sverige har varit återkommande sedan FN:s internationella konvention om avskaffandet av alla former av rasdiskriminering ratificerades på 1970-talet. Av konventionen följer en förpliktelse att förOn 4 May 2021 the report Ett förbud mot rasistiska organisationer (SOU 2021:27) was published, presenting a bill on criminalising racist organisations. The issue of prohibiting such organisations has been recurrent in Sweden since the ratification of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in the 1970s. The UN convention requires the state parties to p

Målinriktat beteende (goal-directed behavior) är en kognitivt krävande process som involverar undertryckande av automatiska vanemässiga beteenden (habitual behaviors) för att fokusera på ens mål. Obalans mellan målinriktat och vanemässigt beteende har föreslagits ligga bakom oförmågan att hämma tvångshandlingar vid tvångssyndrom hos vuxna, men forskning på barn och ungdomar med tvångssyndrom är spGoal-directed behavior is a cognitively demanding process involving the suppression of automatic habitual responses to focus on one’s goals. Imbalance between goal-directed and habitual behavior has been proposed to underlie the inability to inhibit compulsions in adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) but research in pediatric OCD is sparse and with inconclusive results. In this study, c

In recent years, many scholars have observed increasing polarization in the distribution of labor market risk, as well as social and employment rights. This phenomenon is often referred to as labor market dualization, a process deepening the divide between privileged insiders and less fortunate outsiders. Some authors have begun to search for a possible insider-outsider divide in policy preference

Den rättsliga hanteringen av sexualbrott mot barn skiljer sig från den mot vuxna. Hanteringen är särskilt komplicerad vid behandling av sexualbrott mot barn eftersom barn generellt inte kan lämna detaljrika och långa uppgifter vid muntliga utsagor. Detta beror på att deras minneskapacitet, ordförråd och kunskap är begränsad. De kan inte uttrycka sina upplevelser, vilket utgör en svårighet för domsThe legal treatment of sexual offenses against children differs from that against adults. It is particularly complicated in the treatment of sexual offenses against children, as children are generally unable to provide detailed and lengthy information in oral statements. This is because their memory capacity, vocabulary and knowledge are limited. Children experience difficulties in expressing thei

Innebörden av ensamrätten är att varumärkesinnehavare kan hindra tredje man från att använda innehavarens varumärke. Ensamrätten gäller endast om varumärkesanvändning föreligger vilket betyder att rekvisiten ”användning”, ”för varor eller tjänster” samt ”i näringsverksamhet” behöver vara uppfyllda. Eftersom att varumärkesrätten endast räknar upp exempel på handlingar som kan motsättas blir domstolThe meaning of an exclusive right is that a trademark owner has the right to prevent a third party from using the owner’s trademark. The exclusive right only applies if there is a trademark use, which means that the necessary requirements “use”, “for goods or services” and “in the course of trade” must be met. Since trademark law only gives examples of which actions can be opposed, the ECJ’s state

EU-kommissionen har, som ett led i arbetet mot ett mer socialt Europa, presenterat ett förslag till direktiv avseende tillräckliga minimilöner tillåtandes en skälig levnadsstandard. Direktivförslaget hänvisar till EU:s befogenheter att införa åtgärder på området för arbetsvillkor. På svensk arbetsmarknad har kritiken gentemot direktivförslaget varit stor och de föreslagna åtgärderna beskriv som etThe European Commission has, as part of the work towards a more social Europe, presented a proposal for a directive regarding sufficient minimum wages allowing a fair standard of living. The proposed directive refers to the EU's powers to introduce measures in the field of working conditions. In the Swedish labor market criticism of the proposed directive has been great and the proposed measur

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare särbehandlas jämfört med övriga lagöverträdare i det svenska rättssystemet. Av en historisk tillbakablick framgår att skillnaden mellan grupperna har sett olika ut under årens lopp. Vid ett tillfälle gick psykiskt störda lagöverträdare fria från straffrättsligt ansvar. Idag tillämpas i stället det så kallade fängelseförbudet i 30 kap. 6 § BrB. Skillnad mellan de två Mentally disturbed offenders are treated differently in the Swedish legal system compared to other offenders. A historical review shows that the difference between the groups has varied over the years. At one point mentally disturbed offenders were released from criminal liability. Today, the so-called prison ban in The Swedish Penal Code (Penal Code) is applied. A difference between the two occur

Det har visats att svenska högskole- och universitetsstudenter mår psykiskt sämre i jämförelse med yrkesverksamma i samma ålder. Tidigare studier har visat att det finns ett samband mellan fysisk träning och bättre mental hälsa. Trots detta rör många på sig för lite. Denna studie undersökte hur regelbunden träning påverkar svenska studenters mående och vilka effekter den har på deras liv. Detta gjIt has been shown that university students in comparison to the working population of the same age are more exposed to factors that can lead to poor mental health. Previous studies have shown that there is a relationship between physical exercise and improved mental health. Despite this, many don’t get enough exercise. This study explored how frequent exercise affects Swedish university students&#

This thesis argues that the reason behind the lack of sustained economic growth in the Middle East compared to East Asia lies in the technology gap between the two regions, and it attempts to find an explanation for it. Through an empirically supported narrative, the paper applies the social capability framework to explain the low level of technology capability in the Arab region. The research con

Den digitala utvecklingen har förändrat detaljhandelsbranschen i stor utsträckning. Priserna på e-handelsmarknaden är normalt sett lägre än priserna i fysiska butiker till följd av hård konkurrens, prismedvetna konsumenter och dynamisk prissättning (en prissättningsmodell som innebär att priserna på en produkt varierar flera gånger om dagen). Prismarknadsföring (realisationer, slutförsäljningar, uDigitalisation has had a significant impact on the retail industry. Due to strong competition, price-conscious consumers and dynamic pricing (a pricing strategy in which prices varies several times throughout the day) prices in E-commerce are usually lower than prices in traditional commerce. Under these circumstances, price reductions (sales, clearance sales and finale sales) and price comparison

Kan simuleringsmodeller förbättra diagnostik av förändringar i höftens anatomi hos barn? Anatomiska förändringar i höftleden kan drabba barn i olika åldrar. En följd av detta kan vara att belastningen i höften ändras, vilket kan öka risken för artros. Att undersöka och behandla förändringar i höftens anatomi hos barn är viktigt för att förhindra komplikationer senare i livet. Höftleden är en viOsteoarthritis is a degenerative disease that will cause pain and stiffness in the joint if not treated. One cause of early osteoarthritis in the hip joint is pediatric hip deformities. Hip deformities can occur in different stages of childhood and cause the bones to be misshapen or the hip joint to be dislocated. This thesis aimed to build subject-specific computer models of the hip joint to fi

Germany must decarbonise the heating of its buildings, now majorly dependent on natural gas, to meet its climate neutrality pledge. However, the share of natural gas-based heating has not been decreasing in the last decades, and Germany continuously failed to meet the building sector’s emission reduction targets. Moreover, the longevity of the gas and building infrastructure make the sector prone

The purpose of this research is to analyze how American producers on TikTok document their experience of living in Europe. This is executed with a reflexive thematic content analysis as it is expressed by Braun and Clarke (2006) and related to the theories of othering and exotification, which are processes of constructing collective identities. I intend to analyze what the producers have in common

The main theme of this project is inventory control with stochastic demand. In this thesis, we consider a two-echelon inventory system that consists of one central warehouse and N retail stores. Customer demands at the retailers follow independent Poisson demand processes and each customer only demands one unit. Customer demands which are not satisfied directly from stock on hand are assumed to ba

In times of limited resources, growing cities, and a changing world, weeding out outdated answers to new questions is a cardinal task of architecture. Especially in cities, the space is limited, and space does not equal space. Development in the outer parts with new infrastructure has vastly different consequences than densification on inner-city plots. In the case study city of Berlin, the popula
