Rasism är ett fenomen som tycks ha förmåga att byta skepnad och anpassa sig till rådande omständigheter. Det behöver därför ständigt motarbetas för att minimera utanförskap och lidande. Problematiken drivs dock av starka underliggande psykologiska mekanismer som har visat sig mycket svåra att motarbeta. Ett flertal metoder har utvecklats i syfte att reducera fördomar som anses vara den affektiva dRacism is a phenomenon that seems to be able to shift shape and adjust to current circumstances. Therefore, it needs to be battled at all times to minimize exclusion and suffering. Furthermore, it is driven by underlying psychological mechanisms that have proven very difficult to counteract. A plethora of methods have been developed with the aim of reducing prejudice, which is considered the affec

This is a documentation of a bachelor examination project called “PORT:ABLE” done by Dominik Garstka. The project goal is a development of a product which makes any swing arm type lamp portable, by changing how the lamp receives power and how it is mounted. During the project a concept was developed and a display prototype was made.

Shoes today regularly use glue to hold the parts together, this makes it hard to restore the shoe when needed. So, instead of repairing the used shoe we buy new ones once it gets a little worn or tattered, even though the majority of the shoe is in good condition. My product has been developed by the principle of design for disassembly, to easily take it apart and recycle it. The modularit

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical

This essay examines how Swedish newspapers portrayed the men's football world cup. The foundation of the study is set by researchers Lawrence Wenner & Andrew Billings and their findings that critical media coverage on sporting events is reported before it starts. The media's focus then often shifts to mainly concerning sport coverage once the event has started. The aim of this study is

Inom Sveriges gränser har Svenska kyrkan inte behövt bedriva någon mission på det sätt som man har bedrivit den i andra länder. Fram till 1951 då lagen om religionsfrihet infördes i Sverige, var de som begärde utträde ur Svenska kyrkan tvungen att inträda i ett av staten annat godkänt samfund. Så kom sekulariseringen kyrkan skildes från staten och med det, det fria valet att tillhöra det samfund s

Enteric neuropathy describes a disease of the bowel caused by anomalies in the enteric nervous system. Patients suffering from this disease have symptoms including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and pain. As enteric neuropathy is not well understood yet, its diagnosis is a non-trivial task. Research on the enteric nervous system is needed in order to gain a better understanding of this disease, makin

De senaste åren har flera straffskärpningar gjorts inom lagstiftningen, inte minst för unga lagöverträdare. Den här studien syftar till att analysera de möj-liga konsekvenser på samhället och påföljdssystemet som ett förslag på såd-ana straffskärpningar gällande unga myndiga i åldern 18-20 år, kan ge. Betän-kandet 2018:85 Slopad straffrabatt för unga myndiga ligger till grund för denna studie. DetIn the last few years there has been several increases in the severity of pun-ishment within the Swedish legal system. This is especially true for the legis-lation concerning young offenders. This study aims to analyze the possible consequences on the society and the penalty system that a proposal for such increased penalties can have on young adults aged 18-20 years. SOU 2018:85 Slopad straffraba

This paper analyses the pivotal gothic novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley through a close queer reading, focusing on excerpts featuring the artificially created creature and their maker, Victor Frankenstein. The queer perspective is applied to the gender identity and expression of the creature, which is a reading that lends itself to the teaching of the novel to Swedish upper-secondary students be

Background: Children’s need for play is intertwined with health and development. For many children public playgrounds represent environments that are playful and important in developing good health. Without efforts to facilitate climate adaptation of outdoor playgrounds there may be a loss of health and well-being during childhood and their future lives. Purpose: To explore the reasoning and descr

I Sverige är straffbarhetsåldern 15 år vilket innebär att barn under 15 år kan begå brott men inte lagföras. En förundersökning kan då inte inledas. I stället kan en så kallad § 31 – utredning inledas vid de grövsta våldsbrotten. Till skillnad från vid en förundersökning saknas det idag rättsliga förutsättningar för målsägande att få juridiskt biträde vid en § 31 – utredningen. I utredningen ”FörbIn Sweden, the age of criminal responsibility is 15, which means that children under 15 can commit crimes but not be prosecuted. When this happens, a preliminary investigation, should not be held, but a so-called § 31 investigation can be held for the most severe crimes of violence. Unlike in the case of a preliminary investigation, there are currently no legal conditions for the injured party to

This paper aims to study how André Aciman reproduces stereotypes about bisexual and homosexual men in his famous novel Call Me By Your Name. Furthermore, how the reproducement of stereotypes in Acimans novel, creates an undermining mechanism against the reader in terms of the readers ability to critically analyse the novels problematic content. By illuminating how Aciman romanticises sexual relati

Several large, international institutes and think tanks, like Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), International IDEA, and Freedom House, among others, focus on measuring and tracking government regime types and political environments, primarily through measuring democracies. Yet for all of their sophistication and massive datasets, there are misalignments between democracy scores and human rights for

The purpose of this study is to investigate Machine Learning methods and their ability to learn the development of nonlinear unstable flame fronts due to diffusive-thermal instabilities. This task is performed by first numerically computing long time-sequences of solutions to the chaotic partial differential equation named Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation which models such instabilities in a flame fr

In this essay an attempt is made to interpret the landscape at the Scanian estate Torup from two perspectives not commonly used in the study of postmedieval landscapes: the ideological rather than the economical-functional, and the global rather than the local. The landscape is studied through historical maps and images as well as through field observations made during walks in the landscape, and
