Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om under vilka omständigheter fängelseförhållanden kan utgöra omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling och därmed kan ligga till grund för uppehållstillstånd i Sverige. Frågeställningen är outforskad ur ett svenskt perspektiv. Det saknas i princip nationell vägledning. En person kan erhålla uppehållstillstånd i Sverige med anledning av omänsklig eller förnedrande behanThis thesis deals with the question of the circumstances in which prison conditions may constitute inhuman or degrading treatment, and thus may form the basis for a residence permit in Sweden. This has not been an area that has been explored to a great extent from a Swedish perspective. A person can obtain a residence permit in Sweden due to inhuman or degrading treatment as a person eligible for

En jämförelse mellan singel-chipet och dual-chipet: ny tillämpning för akustisk infångning av celler och partiklar Mikrofluidik är ett expansivt område som banar väg för utveckling av ny mikroteknologi inom det medicintekniska området. Genom att studera och försöka förstå hur vätskor och mindre partiklar beter sig på mikroskalan kan man finna lösningar till mer effektiva analysmetoder på exempelvAbstract Microfluidics is the field where the behavior of fluids is studied in very small channels, and small means that the size of the channels normally is only a couple of hundred microns. Fluids in the µL/nL/pL range are handled in microfluidics. There´s a difference in the behavior of fluids on the microscale compared to the macroscale. This difference, taken into consideration yields severa

Jus cogens-normer är normer som det internationella samfundet har kommit överens om är tvingande i det internationella rättssystemet. Flertalet ouppklarade problem när det kommer till dessa normer kvarstår dock i gällande internationell rätt. Den förevarande uppsatsen behandlar tre av dessa problem, nämligen om konflikter mellan jus cogens-normer är möjliga, hur de konflikterna i så fall skulle kuJus cogens norms are norms which the international community has agreed are peremptory in the international legal system. However, several issues regarding these norms are left unresolved in current international law. This thesis concerns three of those issues, namely, if jus cogens norms can conflict with one another, how those conflicts in that case could be resolved, and lastly, what they could

Fire kills approximately 100 people each year in Sweden, mainly in residential fires, and groups with increased risk of dying or get severely injured in residential fires are elderly, physically challenged and people with alcohol abuse. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether and how the broadly spread information campaign Active against Fire has had an impact on the number of rescue oper

Going through the structural transformation processes since the 1990s, Georgia has opened its economy for export. This has been achieved by free trade agreements and governments’ attempts at promoting and assisting stakeholders. Being a “cradle of wine”, wine represents one of the most exported commodities of the country. This has been a result of partially, governments’ policy implementations, an

Grundämnena, som bygger upp komplexa molekyler som vårt DNA, är samma material som stjärnor består av. Faktum är att vi människor består till 93 % av så kallat sjärnstoft, eller sjärndamm. De simplaste ämnena, väte och helium, skapades i Big Bang, för ungefär 13,7 miljarder år sedan. De resterande 90 ämnena i periodiska systemet bildas i olika typer av stjärnor och i detta arbete har jag tagit fraPurpose: The purpose of this work is to determine the abundances of neutron-capture elements in solar neighborhood giant stars. This enables constraints to be put on the the cosmic origin of these elements. I have determined abundances of elements produced in both the weak s-process (Cu), the first and second s-process peaks (Y, Zr and La, Ce, Pr, Nd, respectively) and the r-process (Eu, Gd). The

This study explores the practical applicability of the Communication Value Circle (Zerfass & Viertmann, 2017), a recent theoretical framework that describes value creation through communication in 12 dimensions drawn from four generic corporate goals. The research objective is to evaluate whether key claims from the CVC hold up in practice. Hence, a multistage research design comprising two ro

In today's world, marked by frequent and diverse disruptions, supply chain resilience has become a key consideration in strategic planning. This is particularly true in the automotive industry, where lean practices, globalization, and complex supplier networks increase vulnerability. This thesis explores how three major automakers - Toyota, Volkswagen, and General Motors - navigated significan

This thesis examines brand activism's role in promoting social change through contributing to democratic debates by analyzing Oatly’s environmental brand activist campaigns in a polarized context: the United States. Therefore, the research questions chosen for this thesis examine, firstly, how Oatly discursively constructs their environmental brand activism in the United States; secondly, whet

Throughout the years, the church has played an integral role in the community. It has served as a spiritual hub, a political symbol, and a center point for the community. One thing that cannot be denied is that the church has had some sort of power and influence on the community throughout different periods of time. You may even argue if the impact it has had on the community is positive or not. S

When it comes to predicting biological outcomes, be they single adaptations, or whole ecosystem shifts, we have still to build many bridges in our understanding of how each level of life is connected. Though exceedingly complex, analysing communities is vital in comprehending how single species, or ecosystems, may fare in this changing world. This study aims to answer questions about plant-pollina

The influence of Forest Structural Complexity (FSC) on evapotranspiration (ET) was investigated in a mixed forest of Southern Sweden where micrometeorological Eddy Covariance (EC) measurements were conducted for the years 2015 to 2022. For each year, the top 25% of Vapour Pressure Deficit (VPD) were selected to emphasize the response of ET to the driest atmospheric conditions. FSC was quantified u

After Edward Snowden exposed the mass surveillance practices of the US intelligence services in 2013, personal data protection has taken a prominent position in the legal systems of various jurisdictions, including the European Union. The Safe Harbour agreement regulating the flows of personal data transfers between the US and the EU at that time was soon invalidated by a ruling of the European Co

Employer branding, social media, public sector, algorithms bureaucracy, technology, control The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding on employer branding via social media in the public sector. The aim is to investigate how employees within a municipality make sense and meaning of employer branding via social media and how this creates and potentially consumes positive aspects e.g.

The large-scale expansion of wind energy is an important element of the energy transition in Germany and a necessary tool to mitigate climate change. Yet, it is contested in many rural settings across the country. This thesis builds on the argument that rural areas are a crucial factor for the energy transition. They serve as the sites that host most of the infrastructure needed in the transition

The purpose of this study is to evaluate what impact the conflict in Afghanistan has had on the democratization process in the country. Almost twenty years have passed since the US-led invasion and the overthrow of the authoritarian Taliban regime in a response to the 9/11 attacks on American soil. The goal with the invasion was not only to catch Usama bin Ladin, but also to replace the religious

The Swedish national library has collected nearly all Swedish printed materials for more than three centuries. Regarding digital material, the digital legal deposit act was enacted about nine years ago. According to the law, a selection of digital publications must be sent to the national library for preservation. The Swedish digital legal deposit act has been heavily criticized, mostly because it

In this thesis, a generic object tracker was constructed that was applied to both a commonly used tracking dataset using a regular computer as well as a robot powered by a small NVIDIA computer. The architecture of the tracker consisted of two parallel convolutional neural networks convolving to a single output. The input consisted of two separate cropped images that were fed into the networks sep
