The philosophy of social science is today, from the perspective of the scientists themselves, dominated by the notions of quantitative and qualitative research. Social scientists make distinctions between a wide range of different aspects of research in terms of what is quantitative and qualitative. The purpose of this paper is to integrate these distinctions into a useful conceptualization. First
OBJECTIVE: Prostate biopsy is associated with a risk of significant infectious complications including sepsis. We investigated the risk of infections after transrectal (TR) biopsy compared to transperineal (TP) biopsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Men who had undergone prostate biopsy and diagnosed with prostate cancer were identified in the National Prostate Cancer Register (NPCR) of Sweden. Linkage wi
To create an environmentally friendly road transport system is one of the main policy goals of the Swedish National Road Administration (Vägverket). In order to achieve this goal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has been introduced at all levels of road planning process at Vägverket. The role of EIA is to provide decision-makers with information about the possible consequences of a planned fa
On January 1, 2011 the new structural design rules (Eurocode) became valid in Sweden; these rules are common to the entire European Union. The reason for the introduction of the Eurocode is to try and eliminate trade barriers between member states. This thesis aims to show what impact this change from Boverkets structural design rules (BKR) to the Eurocode will have on the dimensioning of shear re
This thesis is concerned with the examination of the Swedish vowels /ɛ:/ and /ø:/ for qualitative differences between their pre-r allophones and the allophones occurring in other contexts. For this purpose, electromagnetic articulography and speech recordings were carried out on Swedish speakers from the two dialectal areas Malmö and Stockholm. Articulatory and acoustic analyses of the collected d
Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur våld, riktad mot någon annan familjemedlem än barnet, påverkar bedömningen av barnets bästa i frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Denna fråga inkluderar avvägningen mellan frågor om vårdnad, boende samt barnets rätt till umgänge med en förälder å ena sidan, och den våldutsatta kvinnans rätt till skydd å andra sidan. Det handlar alltsåSummary The aim of this study is to examine how violence against a member of the family other than the child, is affecting the assessment of the child's best interests in matters of legal custody, residence and access. This issue includes questions about legal custody, residence and the child's right to access to a parent on the one hand and the abused woman's right to protection on th
Syftet med denna studie var att analysera hur ungdomsutredare anställda av svensk polis och socialarbetare som är anställda av socialtjänster samarbetar i förhållande till fysisk placering av arbetsplatsen. Med hjälp av semi-strukturerade intervjuer med 4 utredare och 4 socialarbetare kan man säga att samarbete till stor del är beroende av hur organisationsstrukturerna påverkar kommunikationsnivånThe purpose of this study was to analyze how youth investigators employed by the Swedish police and social workers employed by social services co-operate in relation to the physical placement of workspace. Using semi-structure interviews with 4 investigators and 4 social workers it can be said that co-operation is largely dependent on how the organizational structures impact the level of communica

Public diplomacy, public relations, propaganda, and strategic narratives are all under the ‘umbrella’ of soft-power and nowadays’ international relations. Strategic narratives currently represent one of the most essential tools that political actors use to increase their influence on local and foreign audiences, gain public support, and lastly achieve their foreign policy objectives. This disser
In 2023, Russia invaded Ukraine and began an occupation of large parts of the country. This invasion sparked concern in many nations and led to an increased interest in defence issues, thereby triggering a narrative of rearmament. A major focus within this rearmament narrative is the drone, which, in the midst of the war, became a game changer for both the Russians and the Ukrainians. The drone is
In many places across the northern hemisphere, drinking water treatment plants (WTPs) need to avert the effects of deteriorating quality in surface water sources caused by increasing lev-els of natural organic matter (NOM). The two major factors responsible for this phenomenon, also called brownification, are the greenhouse effect and changes in soil acidification. Additional treatment steps needs
On-call work has increased substantially in the past 20 years in Sweden, not least in the public sector and most notably in health and social care. This thesis argues that the increase has considerable influence on the prospects of on-call workers in the public services to act as guardians of democracy. Based on theories of Lennart Lundquist, the results of this study show that on-call workers suf
The minimum edge dominating set (MEDS) is one of the fundamental covering problems in graph theory, which finds many practical applications in diverse domains. In this paper, we propose a meta-heuristic approach based on genetic algorithm and local search to solve the MEDS problem. Therefore, the proposed method is considered as a memetic search algorithm which is called Memetic Algorithm for mini
Den tilltalades tidigare brottslighet kan i svensk rätt påverka påföljdsbestämningen för ny brottslighet, dvs. straffmätning och påföljdsval, på främst tre sätt. I första hand kan den tidigare brottsligheten beaktas genom ett skärpt påföljdsval. I andra hand har rätten möjlighet att förklara villkorligt medgiven frihet förverkad. I sista hand finns det genom straffskärpning möjlighet att förlänga
