This paper is problematizing the gender constructions appearing in documents talking of drug treatment in Sweden. Through discourse analysis, the gender constructions done in documents focusing on addiction, and created by government agencies and rehab- and treatment-centers are studied. In previous research, two positions emerged: one expressing the necessity of showing and discussing women´s vul

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kalksten är en av våra viktiga geologiska resurser och har genom historien använts till byggnadsmaterial, jordbruk och inom modern industri. Kalksten i alla dess former har varit en viktig del av människans kulturella och teknologiska utveckling. Ett av alla dess användningsområden är som flussmedel vid bearbetning av järnmalm; bränd kalk tillsätts när malmen smäQuicklime (CaO) is an important geological resource with a wide variety of industrial uses. It is a base chemical produced from the burning of limestone or dolomite. This process is referred to as calcination, during which the limestone is heated to temperatures of 900 °C or higher, resulting in the discharge of CO₂, leaving a yield of quicklime. The formula can be written as follows: Limestone:

Frågan om anonyma vittnen har länge varit föremål för debatt i den juridiska världen. Är det en rättssäker åtgärd att införa ett system med anonyma vittnen? Hur skulle ett sådant system, om det infördes, överensstämma med de rättssäkerhetsgarantier som tillstår den tilltalade i rättsprocessen? Tidigare forskning kring anonyma vittnen har fokuserat på rättssäkerheten och försökt nå en slutsats krinThe issue on anonymous witnesses has in Sweden been frequently discus-sed in the legal debate over the years. Is it according to the rule of law to impose such a system? How does a system of anonymous witnesses con-form with the principles of the rule of law given to the accused during a hearing? Past research has centered the discussion around the rule of law and the effects an imposition of a sy

Since 1988 there have been international attempts to regulate banks with the Basel Rules; despite these international efforts to regulate banks within the Basel Rules, the rules have been insufficient. The financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the importance of regulatory oversight in the banking sector. The crisis resulted in strengthened regulatory approaches worldwide, within the USA and Europe,

Luftföroreningar dödar 7 miljoner människor varje år och är därmed enligt WHO ett av de största hälsohoten i vår tid. Hälsoeffekterna av luftföroreningar kan vara akuta eller kroniska och de kan drabba flera olika organsystem, bland annat lungor och hjärta. En grundpelare i att åtgärda dessa problem är att kunna mäta och uppskatta hur utsatta vissa individer är för luftföroreningar. Gällande just Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. Method: A mathematical model has been developed in

In this study, we have explored the viability of using machine learning models to predict the outcomes of Premier League football matches. Especially we have evaluated the effectiveness with the Kelly Criterion as a betting strategy. We processed a comprehensive dataset to develop six distinct predictive models, each designed to forecast the probability of three possible match outcomes: a home win

I slutet av april 2023 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2023/970 om stärkt tillämpning av principen om lika lön för kvinnor och män för lika eller likvärdigt arbete genom insyn i lönesättningen och efterlevnadsmekanismer. Uppsatsen avser undersöka lönetransparensdirektivet i förhållande till lagstiftning och den svenska modellen för kollektivavtal och lönebildning. Genom en rättsdogmaAt the end of April 2023, the European Parliament and the Council adopted Directive 2023/970 on the enhanced application of the principle of equal pay through pay transparency and enforcement mechanisms. This thesis aims to examine the Pay Transparency Directive in relation the Swedish legislation and model of collective agreements and wage formation. Using a legal dogmatic and EU law methodology,

De senaste åren har präglats av en alltmer repressiv kriminalpolitik, något som även påverkat särbehandlingen av unga lagöverträdare. I juli 2023 tillsatte regeringen genom kommittédirektivet Skärpta regler för unga lagöverträdare (dir. 2023:112) en utredning som ska överväga bland annat en sänkt straffmyndighetsålder samt föreslå hur ålder kan ges minskad betydelse vid straffmätningen för unga laThe recent years have been characterized by an increasingly repressive criminal policy, something that has also affected the treatment of young offenders. In July 2023, the Swedish government appointed an inquiry through the Committee Skärpta regler för unga lagöverträdare (dir. 2023:112), which will consider, among other things, a lowering of the age of criminal responsibility and propose how age

De senaste århundraden har vår förståelse för världen runt omkring oss förbättrats avsevärt. Grundpelaren i att bedriva det vetenskapliga arbete som har lett fram till detta är att kunna utföra olika experiment vars resultat kan falsifiera olika teorier om de inte stämmer överens med observationerna. Allt eftersom de experimentella delarna av fysiken har fått möjligheten att göra noggrannare och nAfter the Higgs boson’s discovery precision searches for Beyond the Standard Model physics has become a new frontier in fundamental physics research. In extensions to the Standard Model, large combinatorics arising due to the many possibly involved particles in Feynman diagrams stands in the way of performing precision calculations of what such extensions predict. This work investigates the feasib

Uppsatsens syfte är att åskådliggöra den preventionistiska strömningen inom straffrätten och de uttryck den tar sig för att bekämpa terrorism. Framställningen står på två ben, förfältsgärningar och preventiva tvångsmedel, och de båda delarna redogörs inledningsvis var för sig. Först presenteras de osjälvständiga brottsformerna i allmänhet och sedan redogörs för de specifika gärningar som återfinnsThis thesis is mainly concerned with the inchoate offences and the preventive coercive measures in the Swedish criminal law, with a specific focus on the antiterrorism-legislation. My aim is to visualize the broad deterrentist trend, which in this thesis is called “preventionism”. To do so, the dependent forms of crime in general are presented in the first part, together with the specific inchoate

When converting electric power from AC to DC, a 12-pulse converter is often used. Unfortunately, the converter creates harmonics superimposed on the DC voltage. These are removed by filters. A passive filter is normally used, but active filters may be added for improved performance. However, the drift in component values due to fluctuations in temperature and the change in load, makes it difficult

Två olika artificiella intelligenser har tränats för att kunna känna igen leksaker i bilder och film. För att undvika processen att annotera tusentals bilder används ett program som kan generera annoterade bilder med 3D modeller av leksakerna i realistiska och orealistiska datorgjorda miljöer. Vi testar vilka miljöer som ger oss bäst resultat och kommer fram till att en kombination av realistiska Annotating data for machine learning purposes can be very inefficient and time-consuming. In this paper we introduce a pipeline for generating a 3d scene from a simple image. We discuss and develop the first step which includes a 3d network being able to recognise any particular object. We focus on how synthetic data can be used to make the annotating process simpler. We use generated synthetic im

The aim of this essay was to see how the arguments about legalization and criminalization of drug use appeared like and if it could be criticized and another important question was if marijuana should be legalized. I studied the arguments and questions like how far the government could go to "protect" its citizens are discussed. Is it right to incarcerate another person for possessing o

The aim of this Master's thesis is to examine what effect two different models of acquisition have on user satisfaction with information resources at academic libraries. The two models examined are the traditional model where a subject specialist librarian makes the selection, and the user-governed model where the larger part of the selection is based on user requests. The scope is the librari

This Master's thesis concerns the classification of compact discs according to the Swedish classification system, SAB. The purpose of this thesis is to critically study and discuss category Y of the SAB-system and its application in Swedish public libraries. The classification system has undergone great changes from the first edition in 1921 until today. In 1921 there were no musical recording

In this Master´s thesis I deal with the impact of European Community Law on chapter 57 regulations of the Swedish National Income Tax Act, IL, and regulations connected thereto. These rules specifically governs the taxation of shareholders in Swedish closely hold small and medium sized enterprises, SME:s, fåmansföretag. My purpose is thereby to investigate the principal question: whether or not ch

The employer has always played a dominant role in the Swedish labor market, developments during 1900-century, however, sought to restrict the employer's management rights under the law and agreements. 1997 came § 25a LAS, preferential rights for part-time employees to higher levels of employment. Lunning believe that legislative and preparatory work to § 25a LAS do not give answers to all appl

I 24 kap. 10 § a-e IL regleras begränsningen i avdragsrätten för ränta på vissa koncerninterna skulder. Reglerna framarbetades i samband med de av Skatteverkets konstaterade skatteflyktsförfaranden som skedde i anslutning till avdrag för koncerninterna ränteutgifter. Skatteverket har försökt att komma åt transaktionerna genom att tillämpa skatteflyktslagen men har inte haft framgång eftersom skattThe Income Tax Act Chapter 24 Section 10 a-e deals with restrictions of interest deductions for certain dividends. The regulations were worked out in connection with the established tax evasion procedures that occurred together with deductions for intergroup interest expenses. The Swedish Tax Agency has attempted to get hold of the transactions by applying the Law Against Tax Evasion, but have not
