The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers within child and youth protection services experience opportunities for recovery during sick leave and vacation, and how workload affects recovery in relation to absence from work. A qualitative approach was applied using semi-structured interviews with six social workers from different parts of Scania, Sweden. The empirical material was
Grocery shopping is an essential and regular part of everyday life, and retail stores across Sweden have sought to reduce the risk of near‑expiry food becoming waste by selling these products at discounted prices. Discounted near‑expiry food is particularly interesting because it is often perceived as risky, yet also offers consumers a way to shop more ethically by saving food and money. While pre
Gängkriminalitet har i det samtida Sverige blivit en viktig del av den svenska nyhetsrapporteringen, tidigare har dock fokuset huvudsakligen varit på män. Statistik från Brå visar att kvinnor i kriminella nätverk ökat markant de senaste åren, trots detta är forskningen om hur kvinnor framställs i nyhetsrapporteringen begränsad. Detta skapar ett behov att undersöka både hur kvinnorna framställs men
Föreliggande kandidatuppsats undersöker hur elbilen som miljömoraliskt och symboliskt konsumtionsobjekt påverkas under en svensk normaliseringsfas. Utgångspunkten är en spänning mellan den normativa framställningen som omger elbilen i offentligheten och den faktiska situationen vid köpögonblicket: bilförsäljare beskriver samstämmigt att miljöargumentet försvunnit ur säljsamtalen under de senaste å
Keyword spotting (KWS) is an essential function in always-on voice-interface systems,where a low-power detector continuously monitors audio streams and activates subsequent speech-processing modules only when a target keyword is detected. This thesis presents the design and evaluation of a 40 nm CMOS ultralow- power KWS accelerator that integrates a Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) front-
The Lund string model, which is implemented in PYTHIA, describes the hadronization process by representing the color electric field between a quark-antiquark pair as a massless, relativistic string. In the string shoving extension, the strings will have a Gaussian profile and will repel each other when they interact, acting like classical objects. When two strings interact and are positioned perpe
The political landscape in Germany changed dramatically when Alternative für Deutschland became the third largest party. The party started out as eurosceptic but has developed its ideology into being anti-migration and radical right populist while experiencing internal conflicts and becoming controversial in mainstream media. This culminated when the party was classified as right-wing extremist by
Youth crime is a significant social problem, and preventive work targeting young people at risk of criminality is currently of central importance. This study examines how the new Swedish Social Services Act (2025:400) influences preventive social work in relation to risk and protective factors. By exploring social workers’ experiences, this study aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of pre
This study aimed to find and explore potential relations between the consumption of news on social media and psychological distress in young adults through the term news-related posts on social media. This quantitative survey study utilized a sample consisting of 337 students aged between 18 and 30 studying in Lund, Sweden. Information concerning daily news-related social media posts consumption a
The legality requirement under the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR) raises important interpretative questions concerning the nature and scope of the due diligence obligations imposed on companies operating in global value chains (GVCs). While the EUDR was primarily adopted as an environmental instrument aimed at reducing the European Union’s contribution to global deforestation
Professional judgement is a complex phenomenon to comprehend and is often forgotten when discussing the importance of knowledge use in discretionary decision-making within Swedish child welfare. Therefore, the study had a dual purpose that aimed to foster a deeper understanding of professional judgement in Swedish child welfare; theoretically, the study aimed to explore the meanings of professiona
This qualitative study aims to explore how relatives of individuals with addiction prob- lems experience and manage their sense of responsibility, and how the balance between their own needs and those of the addicted person is renegotiated over time. The empirical data consists of six semi-structured interviews with relatives recruited through the self-help organization Al-Anon. The material was a
This thesis examines the extent to which EU directives on information and consultation enable employees, through employees’ representatives, to influence employer decision-making before final decisions are adopted, particularly in situations involving restructuring and collective redundancies. The analysis focuses on four central directives within the EU framework: the Information and Consultation
Stora språkmodeller (LLM:er) används i allt större utsträckning som en viktig teknologi i agentbaserade system för mjukvarurelaterade uppgifter. Dessa system är avsedda för att kunna hantera långsiktiga uppgifter och kan bestå av ett flertal interagerande agenter som arbetar mot gemensamma mål. I dessa scenarier förväntas agenterna arbeta med samma kodbas över flera sessioner och utvecklingscyklerLarge Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being used as a key technology in agent-based systems for software-related tasks. These systems are intended to support long-term tasks and may consist of multiple interacting agents working towards shared goals. In these scenarios, agents are expected to work on the same codebase over multiple sessions and development cycles. In long-term software dev
I varje designprojekt bör man tänka på miljöaspekten av det man gör och just detta projekt fokuserar på textilier i förhållande till de möbler de fästs vid. Att fästa tyg är en extra svår utmaning när det kommer till möbeldesign. Ofta används lim, spik eller häftstift, vilket skadar både tyg och den underliggande träkonstruktionen. Genom analoga prototypmetoder utforskar detta projekt alternativa Every design project should consider sustainability, and this one focuses on textiles in relation to furniture. A particularly difficult problem with furniture design is textile attachment. The dressing of a piece of furniture or a seat is usually done using glue and nails, which are invasive both on the fabric and the wood. Through analogue prototyping, this project explores alternative ways to d
Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) play a crucial role in modern wireless communica- tion systems. However, they can achieve high performance only when their internal registers are dynamically and precisely configured. To maintain reliable control while operating in complex multi-antenna environments, several interface techniques have been developed, among which the Serial Peripheral Inte
This thesis examines the secondary exchange of transferable service access on Xianyu, a Chinese C2C platform increasingly used not only for second-hand goods but also for service-related deals among consumers. These include practices such as restaurant proxy ordering, discount-mediated ordering, alternative booking routes, and membership-based privileges. The study explores how participants find,
In multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems, the spectral overhead required by orthogonal Demodulation Reference Signals (DMRS) limits overall system capacity. Traditional linear estimators experience severe degradation under high pilot sparsity or non-orthogonal superposition. To address these limitations, this thesis proposes a Physics-Guided
This thesis examines legal tensions arising from the interaction between OECD/G20 IF Administrative Guidance and the Pillar Two Directive within the EU legal order. While the Pillar Two Directive remains locked into version of OECD/G20 IF Pillar Two rules as they stood in 2022, the OECD/G20 IF continues to develop its Pillar Two framework through subsequent Administrative Guidance. The thesis exam
Electronic Image Stabilization is a method to digitally stabilize a video feed to remove unwanted motion by transforming the image. The aim is to create a better viewing experience, reduce bitrate, and simplify further video analytics. This thesis explores different algorithms to stabilize Pan-Tilt-Zoom surveillance cameras made by Axis Communications. Many scenarios are investigated, but the case
