I Sveriges storstäder råder idag stor bostadsbrist och byggandet av bostäder räcker inte till. Ett steg i arbetet med att möta det stora behovet av bostäder är att genomföra förtätningar. Lagar och regler har dock problematiserat och förhindrat många planerade förtätningsprojekt, vilket avsevärt försvårat arbetet med att bygga bort bostadsbristen. Ett av regelverken som utgör hinder mot förtätningA great shortage of housing is currently apparent in Sweden's major cities. To meet this need for housing, densification strategies are implemented. However, laws and regulations have complicated and prevented many planned densification projects, making the issue with housing shortage more difficult to address. One of the regulations that preclude densification of housing is the regulatory sys
In November 2018, the Danish government passed a bill that introduced the category ‘severe ghetto’ to the law on non-profit housing. Moreover, the bill prescribes extraordinary policy measures in the targeted areas in order to encourage urban regeneration. The non-profit housing associations in ‘severe ghettos’ are forced to reduce the share of non-profit housing stock to 40% through relabelling,
Kroppslig integritet skrivs in i förskolans och skolans läroplan den 1 juni 2019. Att barn får stöd i att utveckla kroppslig integritet är ett steg mot ett mer jämställt samhälle samt en viktig förebyggande insats mot sexualbrott. Handboken “Stopp! Min kropp!” ämnar stödja vuxna i arbetet med kroppslig integritet. Kunskap om föräldrars tankar och agerande kring främjandet av kroppslig integritet sBodily integrity is becoming a part of the preschool and school's curriculum on June 1, 2019. Children receiving support in developing bodily integrity is one step towards a more equal society and an important preventive effort against sexual abuse. The manual “Respect! My body!” intends to support adults in helping children develop bodily integrity. Knowledge of parents' thoughts and acti
The narrative of domestic fiction frequently depicts a woman’s search for domestic bliss, as a mother, wife, and homemaker. Shirley Jackson has often contested this narrative by portraying female characters who, through uncanny manifestations of repressed desires and fears, go against these norms. ‘The Deamon Lover’ (1949) and ‘The Tooth’ (1949) present two female protagonists, who are confronted
This thesis investigates the motivations behind women’s support for Donald Trump in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, despite his widely criticized stance on gender equality. Drawing on Feminist Security Studies (FSS) and Intersectionality, it explores how women articulate political allegiance in relation to insecurity, identity and protection. Using qualitative content analysis, the thesis ana
Den 19 februari 2026 presenterade 2025 års förverkandeutredning (Förverkandeutredningen) sitt betänkande. Förverkandeutredningen fick sitt uppdrag av regeringen bland annat till följd av utveckling på unionsnivå. Förslagen är också en del av en större och längre trend som handlar om att fokusera på de ekonomiska drivkrafterna bakom den organiserade och ekonomiska brottsligheten. Bland förslagen iOn 19 February 2026, the 2025 Confiscation Inquiry (the Confiscation In-quiry) presented its report. The Confiscation Inquiry was commissioned by the Government partly due to developments at the EU level. The proposals in the report are also part of a broader and longer-term trend towards targeting the economic drivers behind organised and economic crime. Among the proposals in the report is one
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is widely considered to be beneficial for the host economy since it can result in positive externalities (spillover effects) through various transmission channels, for instance, transfer of technology, increased competition and imitation effects. This study analyses intra- industry spillover effects of FDI in the pharmaceutical industry in India. A literature review
Core-shell nanoparticles have gathered much attention of the scientific community owing to their potential applications in various fields including biomedical imaging and catalysis. Predicting core-shell preference1-3 is, however, still largely based on a few experimental observations and limited theorical studies, and hence development of new core-shell nanoparticles is normally built on a trial-
Lärares praktiska yrkeskunskaper bjuder motstånd mot förspråkligande. Detta problem föreligger inte minst i lärarutbildningen, där det i verksamhetsförlagda delar kan råda både osäkerhet och skilda uppfattningar om vad studenterna behöver göra eller prestera för att uppnå de mål som (bokstavligen) föreskrivits dem. Syftet med avhandlingen har varit att beskriva och förstå villkor och förutsättningTeachers' practical professional skills offer resistance to advocacy. This problem exists not least in teacher education, where in work-based parts there can be both uncertainty and different perceptions of what the students need to do or perform in order to achieve the goals that are (literally) prescribed for them. The purpose of the dissertation has been to describe and understand conditions an
The software industry is today one of the most important industries, and almost all devices we use contain some piece of software. As software has both a literal expression and an inventive aspect, it has been unclear which way the intellectual property should be protected. Software can be covered both by patents, that protect the idea behind the code, and copyright, that protects the expression o
The article addresses the broader relationships between seaweed and algae as a marine resource, destination development, and sustainability. In many European countries, an industry around seaweed has emerged, ranging from high-end restaurants that provide their customers with local, seasonal and sustainableingredients, to entrepreneurs offering “harvest your own seaweed”-tours. In this explorative

The purpose is to describe the basis for and implementation of SI programmes at the two universities, and to compare their similarities and differences. Our research questions were as follow: What were the reasons and background for implementing SI? How was the SI programme founded, p
En grundläggande aktiebolagsrättslig princip är att aktieägarna saknar personligt betalningsansvar för bolagets förpliktelser. Från denna grundprincip finns dock många undantag. Exempelvis finns i 25 kap. aktiebolagslagen (2011:1244), ABL, regler om tvångslikvidation vid kritisk kapitalbrist. Efterföljs inte den i lagen uppställda handlingsordningen riskerar bolagets företrädare personligt betalniA fundamental principle within company law is that the shareholders are not personally responsible for debts attributable to the limited liability company. However, there are multiple exceptions to this principle. For example, chapter 25 of the Companies Act (2005:551) contains rules on compulsory liquidation if the company experiences critical shortage of equity capital. If the rules of conduct i

Using the respective theories of recognition and social justice by Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, this master thesis explores how public librarians understand the concept of social justice and how this concept relates to their daily work. It also examines to what extent the recognition theory can serve as an analytical tool in order to understand the social function of the public library. The stud
I denna avhandling undersöker vi möjligheten att använda Siamesiska Neurala Nätverk för att detektera röstförändringar bland patienter som lider av återkommande stämbandscancer. I samarbete med VoiceDiagnostic Sweden AB och läkare vid Lunds Universitetssjukhus konstruerades modeller för att mäta avstånd mellan olika röstinspelningar, samt avstånd mellan mindre segment av röstinspelningar.
