This thesis critically examines the Swedish ‘Security Zones’ legislation, the associated governmental discourse on organised criminality, and their implications for equality and racial justice. Through a critical discourse analysis, the thesis illustrates how the extended discretion afforded through the legislation facilitates law enforcement’s capacity for racial profiling and discrimination. It
Problem Statement: Sandvik Rock Processing is in the need for a classification tool, which can help them improve their inventory management. Currently, there are problems with inefficiencies with deficit as well as excess in inventory. The new classification shall the basis for the differentiation of service levels and facilitate a shared view on items’ importance. Purpose: The purpose of this th
This thesis explores the visual and cultural representation of worldbuilding in fantasy genre video game trailers. The focus is to find out to what extent video game trailers in the fantasy genre utilise visual tropes and cultural representations to establish an identity as fantasy video games. It is well established that game developers look for inspiration in the real world when creating new one
The availability of compensatory collective redress for GDPR violations remains an unresolved question. The issue has gained increasing importance as data protection infringements frequently affect large numbers of individuals, while existing enforcement mechanisms often fail to address such harms. This study analyses the scope of compensatory collective redress under Article 80 GDPR and the Repre
The energy sector's dominant share of the anthropogenic environmental and climate impact makes the subject highly relevant for sustainable development. The paper aims to shed light on what influences energy strategy work in order to contribute to perspectives on which knowledge is prioritized. My method was of an ethnographic approach, where I was given the opportunity to do an internship at
Calculation of the climate impact of buildings is becoming increasingly prevalent. In this context, understanding the comprehensive environmental impact of buildings, including fire risk, is crucial. This study investigates a method to incorporate the impact of fire risk on the climate footprint of buildings using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA). The paper focuses on several building types: single-famil
As the first domestic species, dogs likely dispersed with different cultural groups during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene. To test this hypothesis, we analyzed 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 newly sequenced individuals sampled from East Asia to the West Eurasian Steppe spanning nearly 10,000 years. Our results indicate correlations between the ancestry of dogs and specific ancient human p
Wind generation’s growing share of Nordic electricity supply has made imbalance settlement an increasingly costly exposure for producers. Under the Nordic single-price mechanism, all residual imbalance is settled at a single imbalance price, regardless of direction, determined by the mFRR activation market. Before that price is known, the producer fixes a day-ahead position, adjusts on the continu
A classical and central problem in the theory of water waves is to classify parameter regimes for which non-trivial solitary waves exist. In the two-dimensional, irrotational, pure gravity case, the Froude number Fr (a non-dimensional wave speed) plays the central role. So far, the best analytical result Fr < √2 was obtained by Starr (1947 J. Mar. Res., vol. 6, pp. 175–193), while the numerical ev
Greenhouse gases and light-absorbing particles in the atmosphere, including soot, play a key role in climate change. To understand the effect such small particles have on the climate, we first need to understand how they form and how they behave. Soot particles are produced from incomplete combustion processes of hydrocarbons, forming a mixture of graphitic and amorphous structures instead of carb
At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) GP-SANS beamline is located, an experiment searching for the neutron Transition Magnetic Moment (nTMM) was conducted. This experiment is dependent on the magnetic field homogeneity and requires a magnetic field scanning precision of at least 4 μT. A previous experiment performed at the same facility used powerful m
This study investigates the association between individual-level characteristics and the risk ofhaving an unmet need for contraception in the United States between 2002 and 2017 for womenwho were sexually active, not pregnant or postpartum, fecund, and wanted no more children.Using data from the National Survey of Family Growth, logistic regression models are used toestimate the association betwee
Public procurement has the potential to serve as a strategic driver for circular economy implementation and urban sustainability transitions. Purpose: This study explores how municipalities incorporate circular requirements into construction project procurement processes. The aim is to identify practical strategies that support circular implementation in construction projects. Methodology: U
This study explores the effectiveness of combining Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Induced Polarization (IP) for identifying internal erosion processes in embankment dams. A small-scale test dam was built in Älvkarleby, Sweden, with deliberately embedded but undisclosed defects to test monitoring capabilities. Daily ERT and IP measurements were collected during 4.5-year years, and anal
This paper presents a two-phase heuristic methodology aimed at the reconfiguration of a radial distribution network with the objective of minimizing the computational time. In the preliminary phase of the operation, all network switches are in a closed state, and it is proposed that a subsequent switch opening methodology be employed to achieve a configuration that approximates optimal radial char
The Danish religious landscape has been significantly transformed, especially during the last three decades. This transformation is marked by the shift from near religious hegemony towards a much more diverse religious population. Originally, the Danish Lutheran state church was closely intertwined with the governmental administration of the country after the reformation in Denmark of 1536 and the
The minimization of a functional consisting of a combined L 1/L 2-data-fidelity term and a total variation term, named L 1-L 2-TV model, is considered to remove a mixture of Gaussian and impulse noise in images, which are possibly additionally deformed by some convolution operator. We investigate analytically the stability of this model with respect to its parameters and link it to a constrained m
