This thesis centers on the continued participation and agency of women in Sweden within the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, or ISKCON, despite its direct culture clash with Nordic egalitarian policy. While also addressing the translation of religious belonging into an identity given the increased interaction with the surrounding secular environment of Sweden. The motivation behind

Jane Austen is a well-known author, particularly within feminist literary history as her texts often included the lives of young women. The protagonists of Austen’s novels have often been the subject of analysis regarding how the author argued about women’s position in society however the minor characters are seldom discussed. In this essay I discussed whether or not her minor female characters ca

I en samtid där akademisk prestation är en allt viktigare aspekt för framtida framgång blir det angeläget att veta vilka faktorer som kan inverka på det. Anknytning har visat sig ha en väsentlig roll i vår utveckling och därav väcks frågeställningen kring vilken betydelse anknytning har för akademisk prestation. I den här systematiska narrativa kunskapsöversikten har vi granskat och eftersökt redaIn a time where academic achievement is a key factor for future success, the importance of knowing which factors have an impact on achievement is crucial. Parent-child attachment has shown to have an essential role in our development and therefore the question of which role attachment has on academic achievement is awoken. In this systematic narrative review we have examined and sought after exist

I dagsläget finns det otroliga mängder data som ackumuleras bland företag och i organisationer. Denna datan kan användas för att förstå och förbättra produkter, tjänster och processer och i slutändan bidra till att förbättra samhället. En del av denna data innehåller dock personlig information som kan användas för att identifiera en person, vilket kan vara problematiskt ur ett etiskt perspektiv omCollecting and storing data is easier and more common than ever before. A lot of this data is personal data, which is problematic to store and use both for ethical reasons and because of legislations. In some scenarios the personal information in the data is not interesting or relevant for the given task but it is still collected and stored as a byproduct of the data collection. In these scenarios

Sweden is at the forefront of becoming the first country with a net zero emission by 2045. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a multi faceted approach, incorporating a wide variety of both technological and societal advances. Within the realm of accomplishing a more environmentally friendly energy usage, smart metering is key. Sweden is rolling out a second generation of smart meters, targetin

Den sociala samlingsplatsen i staden är en av de absolut viktigaste komponenterna i uppbyggandet av urbana strukturer och skapandet av urbana miljöer. Offentliga platser är stadens vardagsrum. Här formas det kollektiva urbana livet och komplexa sociala interaktioner som är vitala för stadslivets existens. Men i takt med teknologins större påverkan i människans liv har vårt samhälle utvecklats åt dThe social public space is without a doubt one of the most important components that make up the city. These spaces are considered anchors of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction between people. But with advancing technology we are witnessing a change in the way humans interact with people becoming more private therefore resulting in an increasingly secluded

The European Green Deal is an example of a growth-oriented environmental policy approach. However, from the perspective of Degrowth, the narrative of unlimited growth is criticized. Therefore, this thesis analyses resistant texts in reaction to the set of environmental policy initiatives proposed by the European Green Deal. To address the underlying power relations that constitute a dependency on

In this project, calculations for the total binding energy of all even-even nuclei available from experimental data are performed using the HFBTHO program. An artificial neural network is applied to train the information obtained from the HFBTHO calculations and predict the binding energy for the nuclei. The results show impressive improvements to the HFBTHO program. In recent years, the combinati

Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. These carefully tuned networks are largely dependent on the internal interaction of multiple g

This study investigates the correlation between the US stock market, oil prices, gold prices and the stock markets of five emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), in order to explore the risk spillovers and the financial contagion between the markets. A DCC-GJR-GARCH model is applied to daily data of returns from January 2000 to April 2020 and considers both a full

Tröger’s base is a chiral molecule with a unique V-shaped cavity. The molecules can be fused together in a linear fashion to form either tubular structures or zigzag structures. These structures can be applicable in different fields. Following this, linear fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue has been synthesized, following a nine- step synthetic route. Furthermore, characterizations of the reaction

In today's data driven society the world is at a point of information overload. As people rely on Google for information and other platforms such as Netflix and Spotify for entertainment, the need for relevant filtering of content has never been higher. As a result, recommendation systems have seen a great surge in demand. One can divide the space of recommendation algorithms into primarily tw

This thesis purpose is to look at British media’s coverage of Chinese developmental involvement in Africa, particularly at how the most-read newspapers in the UK have written about the situation, and how they have used media framing when reporting on it. As media can have an enormous impact on people’s perception of certain situations, this paper’s aim is to analyse the media discourse and offer a

Rivningarna I svenska stadskärnor efter andra världskriget, de så kallade saneringarna, är kontroversiella. Utan att gå in för djupt på ämnet så finns det olika typer av berättigande och olika grader av omfattning av rivningarna. Ibland rev man enskilda fastigheter som dömts ut, ibland var det slumbebyggelse och ibland var det stora stenhus som hade gått att renovera och höja standarden på. De mes

Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykodynamiska terapeuters upplevelser i psykoterapi med patienter med psykossjukdom. Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Materialet analyserades med tolkande fenomenologisk analys (IPA), vilket resulterade i fyra huvudteman: Terapeutens egen resa, En avlägsen och skör destination, Att mötas på en gemensam arena samt Smittor och resevaccin. Terapeuterna bThe purpose of this study was to explore psychodynamic therapists' experiences in psychotherapy with patients suffering from psychosis. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted. The material was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, resulting in four main themes: The therapist’s own journey, A distant and fragile destination, Meeting in a mutual arena and Contagions and

Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t

In 2019, a national incident operation was introduced by the Swedish police to reduce gun-shootings in public space, and to achieve public safety and security. The operation - known as Operation Rimfrost - introduced a new intelligence-based method to combat crime, which involved the use of different surveillance technologies in public space. "From a social space analysis perspective of Opera
