This paper analyses the Swedish government and the Swedish central bank's measures during the coronavirus pandemic and their effects on the economy in the short run and potential long run effects. By comparing the covid-19 pandemic with the Swedish crisis in the 1990s, and the financial crisis 2008-2009, differences and similarities are combined with previous studies to analyze what effect the
Amid an anthropogenic sixth mass extinction, amphibians are among the most threatened organism groups. This can be explained largely by the loss and fragmentation of natural wetlands due to agricultural activities and urbanisation. Stormwater retention ponds are designed both to provide flood control and to collect and purify runoff from impervious surfaces but could also serve as amphibian habita
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 principle aut dedere aut judicare can be found in international cooperation concerning extradition for criminal offences. The meaning of the principle is that if a state refuses to extradite a person, often on the grounds that the person is a citizen of that state, the state can undertake to prosecute the person for the crime he or she is suspected of. The focus of this thesis has been to inve
The aim of this thesis is to describe and explain how meal-box, as a digital device designed to assist households in carrying out eating practices, reconfigure household practices and enable specific behavioural activities, including sustainability. Taking a socio-material and practice theory approach and drawing on an ethnographic study of three meal-box providers – The Seasons, Hello Fresh and L
Since the 1950s, no other material has been developed and used to the same extent as plastic. We have built up a society that has integrated plastics into virtually every aspect of our lives. With low material prices, cheap manufacturing methods and its versatility, plastic has quickly become a commodity in society that is consumed in an unsustainable way. Plastic pollution causes immense social,
When organizations choose between leasing and owning facilities there are benefits and drawbacks associated with both alternatives. If an organisation proceeds with a middle ground solution by leasing using a triple net lease, they will instead face challenges unique for that lease type. The aim of this thesis is to find out how companies can take advantage of triple net leases and what the requ
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) within product development has emerged as a significant area of research, especially in 2022-2023. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how AI tools are integrated into the product development process, especially within the ideation stage of startups, and what challenges and opportunities arise from this integration. Our thesis explores
Ända sedan tidernas begynnelse har människor funderat på frågor kring den värld vi lever i och dess ursprung. Förklaringarna har varit många, olika och har ofta varit förknippade med religiösa trosuppfattningar. Idag är den rådande vetenskapliga konsensusen att vårt universum skapades för cirka 14 miljarder år sedan i det så kallade Big Bang, eller 'Den Stora Smällen' på svenska. Enligt deIn this report, the elliptic flow in high centrality Pb-Pb collisions is calculated using two particle correlations $v_2\{2\}$ but without any imposed separation in η with data taken from the ALICE experiment at CERN in 2015. Instead, measurements of the same correlations in proton-proton collisions is used as a background to account for non-flow effects and data is correlated between the time pro
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
This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi
Swedish students obtaining student financial aid from Centrala Studiestödsnämnden (CSN) face an income ceiling of how much they can earn per half a calendar year before their aid is lowered according to a matrix. The thesis investigates how CSN’s income ceiling impacts students. It is important to examine it as it is a hot topic both in the public debate and among politicians. The analysis of the
Sedan införandet av lagen (2010:879) om allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsaktiebolag ska kommunala bolag drivas enligt affärsmässiga principer. Dessutom ändrades reglerna i jordabalken om jämförelse av skäliga hyror enligt bruksvärdessystemet genom att de allmännyttiga bostadsbolagen inte längre är ensamt hyresnormerande. Sedan dessa lagändringar har det inte funnits något regelverk om vad de årliga Since 2011 public municipal housing companies are to be operated according to commercial principles and the comparison of reasonable rents according to the utility value system is based on collective negotiated rents. Since these legal changes, there has been no regulatory framework for what the annual rent adjustments should be based on. Previously, the public housing companies' self-cost cal
This paper was set out to examine how discrimination lower incentives to attain human capital throughout different societal sectors and, thus, how human capital barriers affect economic growth. We aim to derive a generalized theoretical framework that is applicable to any group facing discrimination. Our secondary purpose is to apply the generalized theoretical framework to women and men in Sweden
Bakgrund: Ocklusion, på engelska benämnt som blood flow restriction (BFR), innebär att man placerar exempelvis en blodtrycksmanschett proximalt på en extremitet, stryper åt och minskar blodflödet till en muskelgrupp. I kombination med lågbelastad styrketräning kan det inducera styrkeökning. Vid ACL-skada, knäartros och andra knätillstånd är styrketräning en stor del av rehabiliteringen där målet f
Det har länge varit känt att delar av läkares yrkesutövning är av sådan karaktär att den i objektiv mening uppfyller rekvisiten i vissa brottsbestämmelser. Eftersom sjukvården är en önskvärd verksamhet från samhällets sida finns det ett behov av en straffrättslig ansvarsfrihetsregel eller princip som motiverar tillåtligheten i läkares yrkesutövning. I denna uppsats undersöks läkares befogenheter oIt has long been recognized that the professional practice of doctors is of such a nature that in an objective sense it fulfills the requirements of certain criminal acts. Since healthcare is a desirable activity on the part of society, the professional practice of doctors needs to be covered by a discharge from liability that justifies the permissibility of medical practice. This paper examines t
Av de 70 000 personerna som blev diagnoserade med cancer i Sverige 2021, fick runt 4000 lungcancer. Lungcancer är vanligen elakartade celler som utgår från lungans slemhinna. Behandling innefattar oftast operation eller strålterapi, ibland i kombination med cellgifter eller immunterapi. Inför strålbehandling gör patienten en röntgenundersökning som ger bilder i tre dimensioner, en så kallad datorPurpose: The purpose of this master thesis was to retrospectively investigate correlation between surface and tumour motion in lung cancer patients, alongside deep learning applications of the results. Additional correlations such as age, tumour volume and anatomical placement of the tumour were also investigated. Materials and Methods: 48 lung cancer patients treated with Stereotactic Body Radia
De bärande grundtankarna för det svenska processrättsliga förfarandet är att förhandlingen i domstol utgår från principerna om omedelbarhet, muntlighet och koncentration. Av det följer att ett mål som huvudregel ska avgöras vid en muntlig och koncentrerad förhandling och där rätten enbart på det som förekommit vid förhandlingen får grunda sin dom. Tillkomsten av principerna sträcker sig så långt bThe fundamental ideas underlying the Swedish procedural law procedure are that the hearing in court is based on the principles of immediacy, orality and concentration. It follows that a case must, as a general rule, be decided at an oral and concentrated hearing and that the court may base its judgment solely on what has occurred at the hearing. The origins of these principles go back as far as th
This thesis studies the impact of the war in Ukraine on stock prices of firms within the European defense industry. While previous studies have examined the effects of war on stock prices of defense firms, fewer studies specifically focus on the war in Ukraine. Furthermore, this thesis focuses solely on European defense firms, offering a new geographical perspective to the topic. Additionally, the
Global investment decisions are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, and this study examines how firm-level practices toward sustainability have the potential to attract foreign ownership. Focusing on the Eastern European and Central Asian (EECA) region, the interaction between foreign direct investment (FDI) and sustainable management practices within the context of middle- to upper-middle-i
