This thesis examines the social unfolding of the recent deplatformization of the far-right extremes on Telegram. Leaving prior approaches to moderation behind, this study asks questions around how moderation imprints itself on the complex terrain of meaning and practice, interacts with intensified reflexiveness of the social agents, and leaves affected collectivities changed in unanticipated ways.
Uppsatsen handlar om vilka faktorer det är som gör att förvaltningsbeslut och förvaltningsmål karaktäriseras som tviste- eller brottmålsliknande. Denna karaktärisering leder i sin tur till att förvaltningsbeslutet eller förvaltningsdomen vinner negativ rättskraft så hinder föreligger för ny prövning av samma sak. Myndighetsbeslut och förvaltningsdomar vinner som huvudregel inte negativ rättskraftThis note analyzes the factors that determine whether administrative decisions and opinions are characterized as civil proceedings or criminal proceedings. This characterization, in turn, determines whether the prohibition on double jeopardy (so called “legal force”) applies, so that there is a barrier to a new trial of the same issue. In the paper, the rules on enforceability are the same in the
Artificiell intelligens (AI) är ett växande teknologiskt fenomen som inom en snar framtid spås kunna skapa kreativa verk i form av romaner, konstnärliga bilder, musik, m.m. likvärdiga de verk människor skapar. Till skillnad från mänskoskapade verk kommer AI-alstren inte omfattas av upphovsrätt eftersom upphovsrätten endast skyddar det som skapas av människor. Genom att studera upphovsrättens motiArtificial intelligence (AI) is a growing technological phenomenon that is predicted to, within the near future, be able to create creative works such as novels, artistic pictures, music, and the likes, equivalent in quality to the works of humans. As opposed to the works made by humans, AI-creations will not be protected by copyright, as copyright is limited to things made by humans. By studying
This reportis an external evaluation of the scientific basis of the Norwegian assessment system for ecological condition, commissioned by the Ministry of Climate and Environment. Two assessment methods are currently used for various terrestsrial and marine ecosystem: the Panel-Based Assessment of Ecological Condition (PAEC) and the Index-Based Ecological Condition Assessment (IBECA). The purpose o
This is a chapter I wrote for a book, International Relations: A Beginner's Guide, edited by Stephen McGlinchey and forthcoming with E-International Relations Publishing in January 2017. It is my attempt to describe the origin of the state, and the European interstate system, as they came to develop from the Middle Ages onwards, and also to say something about how the European system spread to the
An adsorbent was developed from mature leaves and stem bark of the Neem (Azadirachta indica) tree for removing zinc from water. Adsorption was carried out in a batch process with several different concentrations of zinc by varying pH. The uptake of metal was very fast initially, but gradually slowed down indicating penetration into the interior of the adsorbent particles. The data showed that opti
The remarkable variation in plumage and morphological characters in the redpoll complex Carduelis flammea-hornemanni has puzzled taxonomists for several decades. In contrast, molecular studies have not revealed any genetic differentiation among the phenotypic redpoll forms. This could either be a result of high present-day gene flow or morphological differentiation following a rapid and recent pop
Control of the dissemination of pathogens in the food production chain is an on-going process with new challenges emerging as pathogenic bacteria evolve and express enhanced virulence characteristics. Staphylococcus aureus and Listeria monocytogenes are two notorious pathogens responsible for staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) and listeriosis: a foodborne intoxication and an infectious disease re
This article reports the findings of what it means to live with intestinal failure caused by Crohn disease and how it influences daily life. Ten patients, 7 with an ostomy and 7 on home parenteral nutrition followed up at an outpatient clinic for patients with intestinal failure, were interviewed using a qualitative, phenomenological-hermeneutic method. The analysis of the transcribed data is desc
In 1919 the now largely forgotten popular novelist E.M. Hull sparked a decade of infatuation with the ‘desert romance’ on the publication of her first book, The sheik. The obsession with the genre, fuelled by the release of Melford's 1921 film adaptation of the book, saw women swooning in the aisles at ‘screen god’ Rudolph Valentino's starring role. My aim here is to broaden the focus on Hull away
The properties of the amyloid-beta peptide that lead to aggregation associated with Alzheimer's disease are not fully understood. This study aims at identifying conformational differences among four variants of full-length Abeta42 that are known to display very different aggregation properties. By extensive all-atom Monte Carlo simulations, we find that a variety of beta-sheet structures with dist
This Master Thesis successfully explains the difference in probability of default implied by Credit Default Swaps, traded by the market, and the benchmark Moody’s EDFTM. The difference is explained by the market price of risk, related to the Girsanov kernel, allowing us to transform the risk neutral measure Q to the physical measure P. This market price of risk is modeled with a log-linear multiva
Lead was an essential part of bullets used at shooting ranges in Sweden. This has lead to that many shooting ranges have elevated amounts of lead in the soil, ie. lead ground contamination. As lead causes severe health effects on humans and animals, and accumulates in the nature then this is of great concern. This contamination and its effects on humans is also very important since many of those s
ABSTRACT Author: Nicklas Bogren Title: Professionals view on cannabis use Supervisor: Eva-Malin Antoniusson During my practice in 2008 I heard a discussion about all the risks and all the consequences of cannabis use from both old and young employees. They did all have the same education as me, and referred to the gateway theory. I thought this was strange, because I have read both research and li
Fibromyalgi innebär smärta i muskelfibrer och är en komplex sjukdom med många och skiftande symtom. Sjukdomen är som mest utbredd bland kvinnor i arbetsför ålder och kan påverka arbetsförmågan. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka och beskriva vilka arbetsuppgifter personer med fibromyalgi upplever som svåra att utföra. Vi ville även undersöka vilka anpassningar som är av betydelse för att en p
According to many scholars America's soft power is in decline, a power resource whose importance has been increasing in world politics. This makes it interesting to examine if there is a difference between how Democratic and Republican administrations wield their soft power. This thesis is a hypothesis-testing study and the purpose is to test the hypothesis that Democratic administrations, to
The video essay disseminates the work Eyja, a site specific, participatory performance performed in Hrísey an Island off the north coast of Iceland. The piece is a contemplative performative experience on what it means to belong and is a part of an artistic research ´How Little is Enough, Sustainable Methods of Performance for Transformative Encounters. The challenges of the Hrísey reflect the glo
