This study examines the current Swedish media debate regarding gender-affirming care and treatment for children and youth. The aim was to determine the overarching discourses surrounding gender dysphoria, what actors appear in the debate and on what terms, as well as to examine how danger is constructed in the debate. The material for the study consists of 20 opinion based articles from popular ne
Epilepsy affects a significant portion of people worldwide and still requires alternative treatments due to resistance to anti-seizure medications. Gene therapy offers a promising alternative with several targets already established. Of these, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and its receptor GFR⍺1 are well recognised for their roles in enhancing inhibitory signalling and support
The Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive represents a significant step in the development of sustainability due diligence, with the potential to improve the human rights and environmental impacts of corporations and their supply chains. Although some companies have already begun enhancing their sustainability due diligence in light of the directive, the process is hindered by numerous
This analytical essay critically examines how social sustainability is constructed within Lund’s municipality district development program for Norra Fäladen. The existing research widely acknowledges that sustainable development and social sustainability are characterized by conceptual ambiguity and a lack of consensus regarding definition and measurement. Despite this, they are leading concepts f
Denna uppsats analyserar hur rekvisitet ”särskilda skäl” ska tillämpas vid tvångsinlösen enligt ABL och vilka konsekvenser denna tillämpning får för tvångsinlöseninstitutets minoritetsskyddande funktion. Reglerna om tvångsin-lösen innebär att en aktieägare som innehar minst nio tiondelar av samtliga aktier kan tvinga återstående aktieägare att sälja sina aktier, samtidigt som mi-noriteten har rättThis thesis examines how the requirement of “particular grounds” is applied in buy-out proceedings under the Swedish Companies Act and what the ap-plication of this requirement implies for the minority-protective function of the buy-out. The rules on buy-out entitle a shareholder who holds at least nine tenths of all shares in a company to force the remaining shareholders to sell their shares, whi
Energieffektivisering har blivit en central del av Europeiska unionens klimat- och energipolitik som ett svar på klimatförändringar och resursknapphet. Genom energieffektiviseringsdirektivet (EED) har EU infört bindande mål för att minska energianvändningen och främja effektiv energianvändning som ett kostnadseffektivt sätt att minska utsläpp, stärka energisäkerheten och stödja hållbar utveckling.
Bakgrund: Hemlöshet utgör en komplex global samhällsutmaning. Individuella, politiska och sociokulturella faktorer begränsar hemlösa personers möjligheter att utöva sin rätt till aktivitet och hälsa i vardagen. Internationella studier indikerar att aktivitetsbaserade åtgärder kan vara gynnsamma för målgruppen, men mer samlad kunskap behövs för att stödja framtida studier som undersöker hur svenskaBackground: Homelessness constitutes a complex global societal challenge. Individual, political and socio-cultural factors limit homeless persons from exercising their right to activity and health in everyday life. International studies show that the use of occupation-based interventions may benefit the target group. Further evidence is needed to inform future studies investigating how Swedish occ
Bakgrund: Stresshantering är en av de största hälsoutmaningarna vi står inför i framtiden. Shinrin-yoku/Shinrin-ryoho har visat sig ha en positiv inverkan på personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa. Relationen mellan aktivitet, hälsa och välbefinnande är komplext. Forskning om skogsbad/skogsterapi har främst fokuserat på de fysiologiska effekterna och det saknas forskning inom den arbetsterapeuti
For the best start in life – An ethnological study into the choice of birth place. This ethnological essay aims to investigate and create a deeper understanding of the underlying reasons for different individuals' choices of birthing locations, and how they can possibly give us a deeper understanding of the ideals that exist within Swedish maternity care today. To answer this, I have intervie
Urbanization and densification place increasing demands on human mental capacity, making access to restorative environments in the city increasingly important. This bachelor's thesis investigates how the City of Stockholm plans for green structure as a resource for residents' mental health and recovery, and how strategies for this have changed between 2006 and 2017. The purpose is to highl
While many industrial processes have been thoroughly exposed to machine learning models, the realm of powder metallurgy is still underexplored. This thesis aims to investigate the potential for a machine learning model to predict the characteristics of metal powders after a reduction annealing process using time series process data from the furnace. A supervised learning model was developed to pre
In this thesis, we investigate the water-wave problem for two-dimensional steady waves with constant vorticity. We introduce a new approximate model that, in its simplest form, reduces to a planar dynamical system. We then analyze this system for various energy levels and vorticity constants, studying its phase portraits to determine the locations and types of solutions that arise. In the unidire
This bachelor’s thesis examines five selected works of art by the Swedish painter Leander Engström (1886–1927), created between 1915 and 1919. This period is generally regarded as the most significant phase of Engström’s artistic production and was shaped by his time spent in Abisko, as well as by a romantic relationship that coincided with an especially vivid and expressive phase in his work. Eng
Environmental simulations are increasingly used in urban planning to assess parameters that influence adequate living conditions in densification projects, such as daylight access, noise exposure, wind comfort, and flood risk. These simulations rely on geospatial data and on the representation of the urban environment through 3D city models. However, in current planning practice, simulation result
Byggnader med synnerligen högt kulturhistoriskt värde kan förklaras som byggnadsminnen av länsstyrelsen. Ett byggnadsminne är särskilt skyddat från ingrepp genom skyddsbestämmelser i kulturmiljölagen (1988:950) (KML). Även i plan- och bygglagen (2010:900) (PBL) finns skyddsbestämmelser för byggnader som är särskilt värdefulla från en kulturhistorisk synpunkt. Medan länsstyrelsen genomför all myndiBuildings of exceptionally high cultural and historical value can be designated as listed buildings by the County Administrative Board, granting them special protection against alterations through protective provisions in the Historic Environment Act (1988:950) (KML). Additionally, the Planning and Building Act (2010:900) (PBL) contains protective regulations for buildings that are classified as p
Sea ice is strongly impacted by global warming, and its decline further alters the global climate. Climate models are important tools for examining those future sea ice changes and the interaction of sea ice with other Earth system components such as the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, these components are simulated with separate codes. The interaction between these components is typically mo
Ever since the end of the second world war, Europe has been lagging behind the United States in rocket development. In particular in the last 10 years, the technological gap and American competitive advantage have grown thanks to SpaceX’s development of reusable launch vehicles. A key enabler for the reusability of booster stages is precise rocket engine control. This thesis addresses the objectiv
This thesis investigates probing antennas within a small shielded test enclosure for IoT, Internet of Things, products for the detection of manufacturing deviations. The small enclosure forces the transmitter and receiver to be in the near-field. Shielding of the enclosure additionally generates a multipath environment, which becomes sensitive to displacements of objects such as wires or metallic
The aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr
De utmaningar som dagens och kommande generationer står inför, till följd av klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser, har inga motsvarigheter i historien. Därför utmanas vårt tänkande och agerande från grunden. Som en följd av detta finns en rörelse som försöker påverka politiken och samhället i en mer hållbar riktning: klimataktivisterna. I oktober 2024 friades en klimataktivist av Stockholms tingsrätThe challenges faced by current and future generations as a result of the impacts of climate change are unprecedented. Therefore, our modes of thinking and acting are being fundamentally challenged. As a result, a new climate movement has emerged, calling on politicians to ensure sustainable policies and societies. In October 2024, a climate activist was acquitted by the Stockholm District Court o
