Problem gambling is a serious social problem that can have significant negative impacts on an individual's life in various ways. Considering that preventing and combating problem gambling is one of the stated goals in the Swedish social services act, it is essential for social workers to understand how problem gamblers view problems related to their gambling. In this study, I have examined how

Kina har under flera års tid varit en av världens snabbast växande ekonomier och utgör därmed en enorm potentiell marknad för svenska företag. Den ökande handeln och transaktionerna med Kina kräver förståelse för kinesisk kontraktsrätt, som ännu inte är särskilt välkänd eller studerad i resten av världen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra och analysera likheter och skillnader mellan svensk och China has for many years been one of the world's fastest growing economies and has enormous potential for Swedish companies. The increase in trading and transactions with China requires an understanding of Chinese Contract Law, which is neither widely studied nor well known to the world. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the similarities and differences between Swedish, Chin

In this thesis the automation of an optical sight validation process was studied. The goal was to find a solution for controlling the position of a red dot in a red dot sight. A red dot sight is a non-magnifying reflector sight in which the user sees a red dot instead of a reticle. The movement of the dot was performed by fastening and unfastening adjustment screws on the sight. A side goal was to

With the increase in electricity generation from renewable sources over recent years, the demand for ancillary services providing balancing support in the grid has risen. Demand side regulation can be performed by regulating consumption of some household devices, which can act as a virtual battery that can be loaded and unloaded into the grid. Among these devices are thermostatically controllable

This study aimed to examine the experiences that former gang members have had with social organizations and social workers during their exit from gang-related crime in a Swedish context. Through conducting semi-formal interviews with former gang members and social workers who work with the target group, the following conclusions could be drawn: All of the former gang members have partaken in socia

Bottleneck Complexity (BNC) is a fairly new metric for Secure Multi Party Computation (SMPC) protocols. Two protocols with the BNC in mind are examined in this thesis. One protocol is successfully implemented in the Python programming language, and the BNC, latency and computational complexity of the protocol is examined with positive results. The BNC is independent on the number of parties in the

Electric bikes have become ubiquitous in traffic, and with a growing user base and expensive prices, a demand for bike protection is increasing. Bike protection applications could include detecting and notifying the owner if their bike has been stolen or fallen over. This thesis aims to develop solutions for recognizing and classifying motion patterns of an electric bike to allow for improvements

Med digitaliseringens utveckling har personifierad onlinereklam vuxit i hela världen. Det betyder att företag, genom s. k cookies, samlar in personuppgifter om konsumenten för att i sin tur skapa onlinereklam baserad på konsumentens intressen. Cookies är en liten datafil som sparar ner information om konsumenten och sedan med hjälp av bland annat Online behaviour advertising (OBA) kan datafilen meWith the development of digitalization, personalized online advertising has grown worldwide. This means that companies, through so-called Cookies, collect personal data about the consumer to then create online advertising based on the consumer's interests. Cookies are a small data file that saves information about the consumer and then with the help of Online Behavioural Advertising, the data

The purpose of the study has been to look into what relatives of people with addiction problems specify as good relative support. Furthermore, we have investigated whether there are differences between groups such as; women and men as well as external and internal coping strategies linked to stress management in what the respondents perceive as good relative support. We have also investigated whet

The flow of illegal weapons in developing countries does not only cause injuries and death. A violent society is less equal, less democratic and less likely to develop economically. Humanium metal is a material made of melted, illegal firearms that can be used in commercial production. The Initiative is started by IM development partner, a Swedish NGO, and the surplus finances development projects

Enligt WHO är mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer ett av de allvarligaste hoten mot kvinnors hälsa. Medan det finns många aspekter att ha i åtanke i analysen av detta, kvarstår faktumet att det är i hemmet som våldet sker. Varför är det så? Många arkitekter och teoretiker har länge konstaterat hur våra städer är byggda olika väl för olika typer av kroppar, där möjligtvis vissa kroppar stöttas According to the WHO, domestic violence is one of the most dangerous threats to women’s health. Whilst there are more things to consider, truth is that the home is where all of this violent behaviour takes the stage. Why is that? Many architects and theorists have long made out that our cities are differently well-built for different kinds of bodies, where some are possibly better supported than o

Risk matrices are tables with rows representing consequences, and columns representing frequencies. The risk matrix is considered a simple and convenient tool for visualizing risk. However, it has faced critique from the scientific community. Though risk matrices are extensively applied in practice for visualizing results from coarse risk analyses, there is limited research regarding guidance on i

En avsevärd anomali i jordens globala kolcykel, känd som Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE), finns dokumenterad i lagerföljder från Hirnantetagen, i slutet av Ordovicium för cirka 445 miljoner år sedan. Anomalin är kopplad till den samtida globala nedkylningen, bildande av inlandisar och ett massutdöende – Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). Denna studie undersöker lagerföljder från övThe Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE) is a major anomaly in Earths global carbon cycle at the end of the Ordovician time period, at ca 445 Ma. The anomaly is intimately associated with substantial cooling of the global climate, expansion of continental ice-sheets and the Late Ordovician Mass Extinction (LOME). The present study investigates the Upper Ordovician to the lowermost Silurian s

Vad har motiverat kvinnliga medlemmar inom Studentlund att ta sig an en ledarposition inom en studentorganisation och vad upplever deltagarna motiverar dem att leda? Fram till nyligen har forskning om ledarskap mestadels kopplats till maskulina egenskaper snarare än feminina egenskaper. Med detta i åtanke ville vi utforska vad som motiverar kvinnor att söka sig till ledarpositioner. Vi valde att uYoung female leaders are the future, but what motivates them to take on a leadership role? And what motivates them to lead? Until recently leadership research has been mostly connected to masculine traits rather than feminine traits. With this in mind we wanted to explore what motivates females to pursue a leadership role. We chose to specifically look at female leaders within student organization
