Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
I en tid med återuppbyggnad av svenskt totalförsvar efterlyser olika aktörer ytterligare kunskap om civilsamhällets frivillighet. Den tidigare forskningen om frivillighet inom det här området saknar ett djupare individperspektiv kring hur frivillighet upplevs av den civila frivilliga, i förhållande till plikt, ansvar och krav. Syftet med denna fallstudie är därför att med kulturanalys fördjupa kunIn a time of reconstruction of the Swedish total defence various actors seek more knowledge about volunteering within the civil society. Previous research on volunteering in this area lack deeper micro perspectives on civil experiences of volunteering in relation to duty, responsibility and demands. Therefore, the purpose of this case study has been to deepen the cultural analytical knowledge of t
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur diskursen kring kärnvapen har förts i svensk media under åren 2014, 2017 och 2022. Detta med bakgrund till det säkerhetspolitiska läget år 2014 med Rysslands invasion av Krim-halvön, antagandet av TPNW i FN 2017, samt Sveriges ansökan om Nato-medlemskap 2022. Huvudfrågeställningen innefattar: Hur har diskursen kring kärnvapen i svensk media sett ut under
The decision by the European Union to enforce the Temporary Protection Directive to respond to the inflow of Ukrainian displaced people in member states has resulted in a peculiar governance system that sets Ukrainian displaced people as an exceptional category of vulnerable migrants. Their stay is temporary, but as it is impossible to predict a date for Ukraine to be deemed a safe country again,
The purpose of this thesis was to study the correspondence of occupant load factors determined by the guidance document of Finnish National Building code and the real occupant loads measured from shopping malls. The correspondence of occupant load factors determined according to Finnish National Building Code were compared with the occupant load factors determined in other national and internat
In this paper, we explore the practices independent artists use on social media. We address topics such as the democratization of the music industry and marketing on social media platforms. To gain a comprehensive understanding of these practices, we interviewed four independent artists. We also analyzed the artist's Instagram accounts using a lurking approach. Our focus will not lie on the co
Bortträngda minnen och huruvida dessa kan eller bör framkallas är föremål för omfattande diskussion i forskarvärlden. Vad som kan kallas vetenskaplig och verklig sanning är också det långt ifrån oomstritt. På den juridiska sidan ger den svenska bevisprövningsmodellen domstolarna möjlighet att beakta i princip allt de finner av värde. Att andra vetenskapsdiscipliner ofta kommer in i den juridiska bThe discussion in the scientific community around the subject repressed memories has for a long time been extensive. The Swedish rules of evidence validation give the court the possibility of freely taking in consideration everything they find of value for the judgement. It is therefore up to the courts to decide whether or not to trust repressed memories as evidence. The purpose of this essay
On offshore installations for oil- and gas exploration, fire-water deluge systems are often installed to mitigate the effect in case of fires. Recent research has shown that the deluge can also be used to mitigate explosion consequences by activating deluge on gas detection. The effect of deluge on the explosion risk is however very complex and could in some cases lead to increased explosion risk
In the last couple of years the lack of housing and homelessness has increased in Malmö. At the same time there has been a discussion about the importance of housing as a part of the aftercare related to social work. Malmö has a goal stating that people that have stayed in hospital, treatment or served a prison sentence shall be offered a drug-free housing with a personalized support. We were inte
Serious Games – Integrating games in military training. Serious games are computer games used for various training in virtual environments. This can in many cases reduce costs, time and gain better results over ordinary training. Complex training scenarios which would be practically infeasible to create in reality can be constructed in a virtual environment. Saab Training Systems have developed an
To study and compare the safety of intersection, traffic scientists today typically manually monitor the intersection during several days and count how often certain events such as evasive manoeuvres occur. This is a laboursome and costly procedure. The aim of this thesis is to provide tools that can reduce the amount of manual labour required by using automated video analytics. Two methods for cr
Single chains of conjugated polymers e.g. MEH-PPV (poly(2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene) have become interesting objects for single molecule spectroscopy (SMS) studies. However, most of the experiments so far were performed without full awareness of the isolation status of the polymer chains in host matrices. We used steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence methods and 2D p
Implicit group messaging (IGM) is a decoupled messaging paradigm for connecting content publishers and consumers over the Internet. Unlike traditional multicast or publish/subscribe messaging, IGM delivers content to “implicit groups” of consumers with characteristics specified by the publisher at the time of publication. IGM systems must support thousands of users and an infinite number of implic
Omfattande studier på Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH) har under de senaste åren inriktats på hur egenskaperna i asfaltbruk kan optimeras eftersom de har avgörande betydelse för asfaltens funktion. Förutom naturligt förekommande filler i asfaltmassa har tillsatser såsom vaxer, fibrer och polymerer blivit allt vanligare. Hur dessa tillsatser påverkar asfaltbrukets egenskaper är viktigt att utreda för The durability of asphalt can be investigated with fatigue tests, which unfortunately are very laborious and costly. Therefore, they are not used as often as they should. At LTH in Lund, an alternative method is utilized using a dynamic shear rheometer, DSR, on asphalt’s mastic for fatigue properties testing. The properties of asphalt mastic are crucial for the asphalt pavements ability to withsta
The search for prior art documents is an important, but time-consuming task for the patent attorney. Today, these searches are carried out using keywords, which is problematic since inventions often are described using abstract and general terms in the patent applications. In addition, synonyms must be taken into account and formulated manually. This means a risk of relevant documents being overlo
Jag har undervisat i slagverk i många olika sammanhang. Bland annat under min tid vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö men även innan. Detta har gjort att jag har träffat väldigt många olika slagverkselever vid många olika skolor. Det är dock eleverna från en skola som enligt min uppfattning står ut från de övriga när det kommer till elevernas motivation och egna drivkraft. Det här gjorde mig väldigt nyfike
Syftet med denna studie är att utöka kunskapen om fiolundervisning i grupp jämfört med enskild undervisning. Studien bygger på tidigare forskning inom instrumentalundervisning och erfarenheter som olika instrumentalpedagoger har av de två olika undervisningsmetoderna. I denna studie används aktionsforskning som metod. För att samla data har jag filmat fiollektionerna och gjort strukturerade reflekTitle: Violin teacher challenges - A study of violin teaching in a segregated area The purpose of this study is to expand the knowledge of violin teaching in groups versus one to one teaching. The study builds on previous research on instrumental teaching and experiences that different instrumental teachers have from the two different teaching methods.In this study I have used action research as m
