This thesis examines how key political concepts within Islamic political thought—legitimacy, consultation (shura), and community (ummah)—have been formulated and reinterpreted across classical and modern contexts. Rather than evaluating Islamic political ideas through external normative frameworks such as liberal democracy, the study aims to analyze how political authority and governance have been
The purpose of this study was to understand how social workers in financial assistance perceive and support clients with mental illness and poverty. To answer the purpose of our study, we collected data using a qualitative methodology involving six social workers in financial assistance. The empirical data were examined through thematic analysis, where recurring patterns were identified. Our two t
While many industrial processes have been thoroughly exposed to machine learning models, the realm of powder metallurgy is still underexplored. This thesis aims to investigate the potential for a machine learning model to predict the characteristics of metal powders after a reduction annealing process using time series process data from the furnace. A supervised learning model was developed to pre
Denna uppsats undersöker korruptionsrisken som finns i offentlig upphandling med inriktning på mutbrott. Vilka är de riskfaktorer som bidrar till sårbarheter i offentlig upphandling som kan leda till korruption och uppsatsen förklarar hur upphandlingslagstiftningen är utformad för att motverka mutor hos myndigheter. Korruption är inget nytt fenomenen i den offentliga upphandlingen, utan det har aThis essay investigates the risk of corruption in public procurement with a focus on bribery. What are the risk factors that contribute to vulnerabilities in public procurement that could lead to corruption and the essay explains how the procurement legislation is designed to counteract bribery in public authorities. Corruption is not a new phenomenon in public procurement. There has always been
The future price of the FOREX rate is important for export-dependent countries and companies and the research regarding price prediction of FOREX is skewed towards the major currency pairs, leaving the smaller currency pairs to be unexplored. The study aimed to answer if the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) or the Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) is the most suitable model for forecasting the rate of a s
In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores
In today’s world of uncertainties, video surveillance is widely used to make the people of our society feel safe and protected. As more cameras are installed, the time of installation and ease of use play a critical role when customers decide which camera solution to select. One way to limit the number of cameras needed to cover multiple directions and large areas is to install a multidirectional
Cleft lip and palate belong to the most common deformities present at birth. The condition hampers normal speech development in children, and treatment involves both surgery and regular sessions with a speech pathologist. The speech pathologist assesses the child’s speech impairment stemming from the condition on a three-point scale: "Competent", "Marginally incompetent" and &q
With mobile phones often being used to type sensitive information, it is important that they remain secure and leak no information. One conceivable channel for information leakage, though, is the motion sensors accelerometer and gyroscope, sensors that require no permission to be used by an app. Do the data they produce contain information about the keys being typed? To answer this question, thi
I det här examensarbetet har en ny förpackningslösning utvecklats och konstruerats för snäckfräsar till Volvo Group Truck Operation Powertrains transmissionsfabrik i Köping. Det fanns ett behov av en ny förpackningslösning då den existerande förpackningen har flertalet problem och brister och börjar bli föråldrad. Produktutvecklingen började med att bekanta sig med den nuvarande förpackningen ochIn this thesis, a new packaging solution has been developed and designed for gear hobs to Volvo Group Truck Operation Powertrain´s transmission plant in Köping. There was a need for a new packaging solution since the existing packaging have a number of problems and deficiencies and begins to be obsolete. The product development began by familiarizing with the current packaging and how it was hand
After the latest IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) report in 2018 there has been an increased concern in society on the identified climate impact of flying. This has resulted in a rise of grassroots social movements that attempt to find alternative, more environmentally friendly means of travel. This research has more closely examined two of these social movements within the tourism
Biogas is a renewable fuel produced from various kinds of organic biomass primarily considered as waste from today's society. The biogas today are used as fuel in heat and electricity or upgraded to vehicle gas. There are ambitious national and local targets for biogas in Sweden, where within a few years they want to see a comprehensive increase in production and use of biogas. Likewise, it’s
This paper aims to look at the positive and negative aspects of the biodegradable material poly(lactic) acid (PLA) compared to controversial plastics. This is done through a literature study. PLA is a biobased and biodegradable plastic that are used in for example medicine and packaging materials around the world. The results from this study show that the biodegradation of the material is not that
This study aims to clarify the conditions for swedish municipalities to handle returnees from radical islamic environments. This has been done through a study of the legal conditions, a literature review focused on programs and methods combined with qualitative interviews with representatives from two municipalities. A theoretical framework that describes a norm- forming process and an analytical
The main aim with this master’s thesis was to study the possibilities of detecting an event (rat trap going off) by analyzing audio streams from a MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) microphone or movement patterns from a MEMS accelerometer. To achieve this goal, a small, power efficient and cost efficient embedded system was built with the help of a development board, a MEMS accelerometer, a
Höganäs AB is developing an axial flux machine, where an even airgap between the stator and rotor is a vital parameter when designing a well functioning machine. It is believed that the stator is the component that introduces the biggest variations to the airgap, and that is why the stator is the object of investigation for this thesis. The stator is made of metal powder and the steps in the manuf
The multidisciplinary Green Extraction approach has recently advanced by integrating the principles of Green Chemistry and the Circular Economy. In this framework, waste products are redefined as negative-cost raw materials for the recovery of high-value compounds with cross-sectoral applications, contributing to both economic and environmental sustainability. This study focuses on the valorizatio
This thesis identified two novel inhibitors of aquaporin-3 with comparable potency to the current leading compound, DFP00173. This achievement was based on the hypothesis that new aquaporin inhibitors could be developed by building upon the chemical structure of DFP00173. Aquaporins are a class of transport proteins responsible for the transport of water through the cell membranes. Aquaporin-3 is
