From 2014 to 2016, 44,617 unaccompanied refugee minors (URMs) arrived in Sweden and sought asylum. The Church of Sweden has received hundreds of these young people seeking to join the church and be baptised as Christians. Conversion to Christianity among asylum seekers in Europe is a well-documented phenomenon that is often dismissed as merely a strategy to boost asylum chances. This dissertation
Purpose: This study addresses the implications of smart city development paths (techno-centric and human-centric) by investigating the evolution of a city strategy, focusing on how different actors in a dialogue centred on strategic planning documents for Saint Petersburg, Russia, visualised the smart city and then made it calculable. Design/methodology/approach: The authors conducted a case study
AbstractIntroductionConservative treatment of acute appendicitis is gaining popularity, and identifying patients with a higher risk of recurrence is becoming increasingly important. Previous studies have suggested that older age, male sex, diabetes, appendicolith and abscess formation may be contributing factors, however, results from the adult population are inconsistent.AimThis study aims to ide
There is little published research on dissociative experiences among transgender people, and none from an in-depth qualitative perspective. In-depth, open-ended interviews (N = 7, 6 trans women, 1 trans man) were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced (particularly among trans women)and its possible relation to negative emotions. There were several similarities across the dissociativ
UNLABELLED: Lay people are now able to obtain one-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) using smartwatches, which facilitates documentation of arrhythmias. The accuracy of smartwatch derived ECG intervals has not been validated in children though. Home-based monitoring of ECG intervals using a smartwatch could improve monitoring of children, e.g. when taking QTc prolonging medications. The aim of this stu
We propose a combinatorial solution for the problem of non-rigidly matching a 3D shape to 3D image data. To this end, we model the shape as a triangular mesh and allow each triangle of this mesh to be rigidly transformed to achieve a suitable matching to the image. By penalising the distance and the relative rotation between neighbouring triangles our matching compromises between the image and the

The present study explored how news media in Northern Ireland and Great Britain portrays threat constructions in the Northern Ireland area through the lens of the Copenhagen School of Securitisation. In fact, the Irish island has been affected by a history of identity conflict. The study gives an overview on how the conflict came to part throughout history to understand how the threats are picture
In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi
The objective of this research was to explore and enhance the comprehension of the methods employed in social work concerning children and youth in flight. Additionally, it investigated the key considerations in social work with children and youth in flight to Sweden, as well as the specific measures implemented in the handling process for this particular demographic. The study delved into various
This research investigates the subject of Data Democratization (DD), the effect it has on fact-based decision-making, and how users perceive this within the organization. DD is a fairly new initiative, empowering more employees with increased access to data to improve their use of it and to a greater extent be able to make decisions based on data. The idea for this paper originated from the lack o
Bakgrund: Hjärntrötthet definieras som en extrem, framförallt mental trötthet som begränsar individens funktion, aktivitet och delaktighet i det vardagliga livet. Hjärntrötthet post stroke är i sig ett direkt resultat av organisk hjärnskada. Besväret beskrivs som lägre energikapacitet och är relativt förekommande post-stroke. Symtombilden är multidimensionell och komplex då ett flertal kognitiva f
Den här kandidatplatsen syftar till att kartlägga de tre egenskaperna definition, erkännande och självständighet, vilka är gemensamma för juridiska folkrättssubjekt. Egenskaperna utgör en del av de underliggande uppfattningarna om vem eller vilka vi accepterar utgöra juridiskt folkrättssubjekt. De underliggande uppfattningarna utvecklas genom händelser, erfarenheter, behov etcetera inom det internThis thesis aims to uncover the three properties of definition, recognition and independence shared by international legal subjects. These properties are included in the underlying conceptual scheme of who or what we accept as an international legal subject. The conceptual scheme is developed through the events, experiences, needs etc. within the international community. By uncovering the properti
Den svenska mervärdesskattelagen, ML, stadgar att mervärdesskatt ska beta-las vid omsättning av vara. Ett exempel på när sådan omsättning föreligger är enligt 2 kap. 1 § 1 p. då en vara överlåts mot ersättning. Mot bakgrund av att mervärdesskatterätten i hög utsträckning är unionsrättsligt harmoniserad ska ML tolkas i ljuset av mervärdesskattedirektivet. I direktivet används inte be-greppet omsättThe Swedish Value Added Tax Act provides that VAT must be paid whenever there is a turnover of goods. An example of such turnover is, according to Chapter 2, Section 1(1), when goods are transferred against payment. How-ever, given that VAT law is largely harmonized under EU law, the Swedish Value Added Tax Act must be interpreted in the light of the VAT Directive. The concept of turnover is not u

Med utgångspunkt i beskrivningen är syftet sedan att utvärdera huruvida den finansiella due diligencen skapar ett mervärde för köparen jämfört med om han enbart skulle förlita sig på den externa redovisningen. Med mervärde avses här att nyttan av en
