Truth Commissions are a form of reconciliation theory which will be further analyse

ChatGPT och andra generativa Artificiell Intelligens (AI) -verktyg har nyligen fått betydande uppmärksamhet, och deras användning i skolarbete fortsätter att sprida sig globalt. Även om effektiviteten och säkerheten hos dessa verktyg inte är väl grundade i vetenskapen, tyder initiala resultat på deras popularitet i den svenska tonårspopulationen både för skolarbete och emotionell reglering. Hur anChatGPT and other generative AI tools have received considerable attention recently and their usage in schoolwork continues to expand globally. Even though the effectiveness and safety of these tools are not well grounded in science, initial findings suggest their popularity among the Swedish adolescent population for both schoolwork and emotional regulation. Whether this trend is the same in a yo

Blockchain technology has in recent years gained significant momentum in a wide variety of industries. However, in the context of SMEs the IS body of research is lacking, both in terms of why SMEs should consider this new technology and the factors that affect a potential adop-tion. To explore this research gap, the authors derived a conceptual framework from the exist-ing literature along with el

This thesis examines the extent to which the French and Swiss models of corporate criminal liability may inform the development of proposals to extend the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to encompass legal persons. The study employs a combination of doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, with particular emphasis on the legal models through which criminal liability may

Sweden, often regarded as resistant to the global trend toward increasing transnational organised crime, has, over the past decade, experienced a rise in criminal networks, drug trafficking and related violence. Despite being an outlier case, the Swedish response seems to follow the same traditional security logics as have been applied since organised crime gained international attention in the 19

This thesis interrogates how the state-led “counterterrorism” and tourism-development discourses operate as complementary technologies of the state’s governance in Xinjiang. Drawing on Foucault’s power/knowledge and biopolitics theory, it examines how these discourses produce the “truth” of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, and how these “truths” jointly operate in facilitating the state’s governance agai

An extensive public health literature has linked the low take-up of healthcare services in developing countries with measures of accessibility such as distance, duration and cost of travel to the nearest health facility. However, causality has been difficult to prove, given the endogeneity of factors influencing access, such as the availability and quality of roads and transportation. Using a natu

The white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a once common species in southern Sweden, went extinct in the 1950s due to changes in agricultural practices, and is now listed as “Endangered” according to the Swedish Red List, since the population is too small to be viable on its own. Thanks to the ongoing reintroduction programme, there are now 70 breeding pairs in southern Sweden. This study aimed to verify

As globalization increasingly shapes modern workplaces, multicultural teams have become a standard feature. While such teams bring diverse perspectives and enhance problem-solving capabilities, they also face persistent challenges in communication, trust, and collaboration. Leadership plays a decisive role in determining whether diversity fosters synergy or results in fragmentation. This study exa

My main contribution to the Human Ecology field is exploring the relationship between memories and images of the future when pursuing transition imaginaries. By ‘feeling with the head and reasoning with the heart’, I used a sensory ethnographic method to listen to people's life stories during my fieldwork in Bolivia with territorial defenders. Throughout the data collection and analysis, there

Utländska investerares egendom skyddas av internationell investeringsrätt, inom vilken systemet för internationella skiljeförfaranden mellan investerare och stater (internationella investeringstvister) har utvecklats.

As the processing power of computers continuously increase so does the interest for machine learning and artificial intelligence. This thesis evaluates the forecasting performance of both machine learning models and common auto-regressive models on the Swedish stock market index OMXS30 on the Stockholm stock exchange during the 2008 financial crises. Forecasts are performed 3, 6 and 12 months ahea

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Addressing the association between early-changing Alzheimer disease (AD) biomarkers and cognition is essential for characterizing preclinical AD. However, few studies have explored this relationship longitudinally, especially across multiple biomarker modalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate longitudinal associations of multimodal core 1 AD biomarkers with cogni

The 13th century AD in southern Africa is a period associated with the emergence of class-based society and the establishment of Mapungubwe as the capital of a regional state. This study reports on ceramics excavated from four households at Bosbokpoort, a small Mapungubwe settlement situated approximately 95 km from Mapungubwe. By combining traditional stylistic analysis with chemical (pXRF) and m

The new species Begonia dicressine (sp. nov.) belonging to Begonia section Platycentrum is described. The new species is similar to B. rockii but differs in having petioles with long soft white hairs, plain dark green leaves with irregularly crenate margins, lower surface only with appressed hairs along midrib, and glabrous inflorescences. B. dicressine is distributed in Kachin Province in norther

Aims This study aimed to test whether seismocardiography (SCG) can detect changes in loading conditions and detect significant differences in SCG signals between healthy individuals and those with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods Twenty-six subjects (age 45 ± 16 years and 77% male) were included, 11 healthy subjects and 15 subjects with CVD. SCG and results was compared with transthoracic ech
