This study explored how young Swedish adults aged 20–30 describe and understand experiences of weight-based bullying during their school years, as well as their ways of coping. A qualitative design using semi-structured interviews was employed. The sample consisted of nine young adults with a mean age of 24.7 years, including two males and seven females. All participants had lived with overweight
Zygaenidae, also known as burnet, forester, smoky, or leaf skeletonizer moths, are a family of mainly diurnal moths well known for their aposematic colouration and the ability to release hydrogen cyanide as a defence mechanism. So far, few attempts have been made to understand the evolutionary history of the global zygaenid fauna. Here, we inferred the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny for Zy
This project has been about understanding the public furniture market from a designers perspective and to develop a competitive design concept based on the needs of different stakeholders in the field of outdoor public products. The research has been mainly in forms of interviews and observations with a focus on Stockholm as geographical scope. I chose to focus on one city as the structure and r
Denna uppsats behandlar medling vid brott, samt åtalsunderlåtelseinstitutet avseende unga lagöverträdare, som regleras i 17§ i lagen (1964:167) med särskilda bestämmelser om unga lagöverträdare (LUL). Mitt huvudsakliga syfte är att genom en kvalitativ undersökning försöka utröna i hur stor omfattning och på vilket sätt som medlingsinstitutet påverkar åklagarnas val att meddela åtalsunderlåtelse inThis essay addresses victim-offender mediation and the institution of abstention from prosecution with regard to young offenders. Focus will be on Section 17 of the Young Offenders (Special Provisions) Act (LUL - 1964:167), as my primary aim is to ascertain, by means of a qualitative investigation, to what extent and in what ways the Swedish National Mediation Office influences a prosecutor's
Sverige har inte befunnit sig i krig på mer än 200 år. Detta till trots, har svensk domstol sedan sekelskiftet handlagt mål som rör krigsförbrytelse. Målen härrör från våldsamma konflikter, såsom i Syrien och Irak, och svensk domstol ställs inför svåra frågor i samband med lagföringen av bland annat svenska medborgare som färdats till konfliktområdet och där deltagit i stridigheterna. VåldsanvänEven though Sweden has not been at war for more than 200 years, Swedish courts have since the turn of the century had to deal with cases involving war crimes. Swedish courts are faced with difficult questions in connection with the prosecution of, among others, Swedish citizens who has travelled to conflict areas, such as Syria and Iraq, and participated in the warfare. The use of force in an arm
When automating data analysis or broadcasts in association football, a key piece of information is the position of the football. Locating the ball is often easier said than done since there are many scenarios where the ball is hard or even impossible to detect accurately using object detection methods. This thesis explores a different approach to determining the ball's position. Since the play
To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
This study aims to identify the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly retrofit solutions for enhancing the energy efficiency of second homes in Sweden. Second homes, often used intermittently throughout the year, represent a significant portion of residential energy use and carbon emissions. Therefore, optimizing energy consumption in these homes is critical for achieving national and g
Nearly all multicellular organisms reproduce sexually, whereas asexual reproduction is predominant in unicellular species. However, it is unclear why we see such a tight co-occurrence between multicellularity and sex. Here, we investigate the effect sexual reproduction has on the evolution of multicellularity in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, specifically on the variation and novel ph
Under senare år har det både i Sverige, Danmark och Norge förekommit ett stort antal fall där tilltalade invänt att de befunnit sig i somnambula tillstånd och därmed inte kan hållas straffrättsligt ansvariga för sina gärningar. Trots att de skandinaviska ländernas hantering av sömninvändningar görs utifrån olika rättsliga utgångspunkter, har de gemensamt att det vid bedömningen är fråga om subjekt
Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi
People who desire more-than-one gender are still facing social exclusion as well as exclusion from LGBTQ communities. Moreover, specific bi+ spaces are rare and bisexuals are often not part of them. Where, then, do bisexuals belong? In order to answer this question, this thesis explores the everyday experiences of bi+ people using Relief Maps and in-depth interviews. I build on theories around emo

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for the survival of humans, animals, and plants. The production and usage of mineral fertilizer has contributed to an over-use of these resources, leakage, and emissions of nutrients. This study aims to simplify and simulate the food system of Scania through a conceptual model. The model maps nutrient flows of N, P and K within the internal foo
When slurs are used in indirect reports (e.g., ‘Lisa said that Tom is a [slur]’), there is a disagreement between theories of language about which speaker is responsible for the derogatory content and offensive potential of the slur — the original speaker or the reporting speaker. This debate is specific to slurs and does not typically extend to non-slur pejoratives. To examine this issue, this th
Employer branding is a topic that is becoming significantly more interesting among both scholars and practitioners. This study analysed a small part of this topic - the practical use of Employer Branding Value Chain. This study tackled this topic in a unique way because all data was gathered and analysed from the perspective of managers and their work. The purpose of this research is to discover a
När jag hade flöjtlektioner på kulturskola värderades inte musiken efter genrer. Min upplevelse var att flera olika genrer förekom lika ofta på lektionerna. När jag senare sökte in till musikhögskolan och var tvungen att välja genre rubbades denna bild och jag frågade mig vad min roll som flöjtpedagog kommer vara. Ska jag nischa mig inom en genre, eller ska jag kunna lära ut lite av varje? SyftetWhen I had flute lessons at the community school of music and art, music was not valued according to genres. My experience was that several different genres were equally common in the lessons. When I later applied to Malmö Academy of Music, and had to choose a genre, this idea was disrupted and I asked myself what my role as a flute teacher would be. Should I specialize myself within a genre, or s
Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are promising candidates for orthopaedic implants due to their mechanical compatibility with bone and their bioresorbable nature. This study investigates the degradation behaviour of Mg-Zn-Zr-Ca alloys with varying zinc concentrations, focusing on how heat treatment and microstructure evolution influence corrosion resistance under physiologically relevant conditions.
The topic of this study is the phosphorylation dependent interaction between aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the FERM domain of ezrin. AQP2 is an important water channel for finetuning the water content of the urine based on the needs of the body. The main way of regulating how much water is reabsorbed is by regulating the amount of AQP2 present in the apical membrane. This regulation is controlled throug
