Previous reports and studies have found that gender, socioeconomic status, migration background and education are important factors in explaining reading amongst young people. A previous report from the Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society indicate that there are differences in reading depending on gender and birth country using confidence intervals. However, the report indicated that living

Internationella dataöverföringar stödjer den globala ekonomin, underlättar internationellt samarbete och främjar ekonomisk expansion. Denna ökade produktivitet innehåller dock risker, nämligen stora risker för kränkningar av den personliga integriteten. I en tid som domineras av tekniska framsteg har regeringar, inom EU och i tredjeländer, potential att överträda individers integritet på en nära gInternational data transfers serve to support the global economy, facilitating international collaboration and economic expansion. However this increased productivity comes at a cost, namely amplified personal data privacy and security risks. In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, the clandestine actions of intelligence agencies have the potential to infringe upon the privacy and

Ytelektromyografi (sEMG) mäter skelettmuskelfunktionen genom att registrera muskelaktivitet från hudens yta. Tekniken kan användas för att diagnostisera neuromuskulära sjukdomar och som ett hjälpmedel vid rehabilitering, biomedicinsk forskning och för interaktion mellan människa och dator. En simuleringsmodell för sEMG-data kan bedöma avkodningsalgoritmer och hjälpa till att utveckla nya diagnostiSurface electromyography (sEMG) measures skeletal muscle function by recording muscle activity from the surface of the skin. The technique can be used to diagnose neuromuscular diseases, and as an aid in rehabilitation, biomedical research, and human-computer interaction. A simulation model for sEMG data can assess decomposition algorithms and help develop new diagnostic tools. Such simulation mod

Can we manipulate how morally permissible or unjustifiable someone finds a certain action by framing a dilemma in either a first- or third-person perspective? This online study aims to investigate this question through a between-group study. 42 participants, recruited through social media, on campus, and through snowballing, were divided into two groups and asked to rank nine different moral

Distansavtalslagen har genomgått flera lagändringar och utvecklats i samband med digitaliseringens utbredning. Det har medfört en ökad användning av digitala tjänster och varor med digitalt innehåll. Utformningen av distansavtalslagens konsumentskyddande bestämmelser har även påverkats av moderniserade EU-rättsakter, som införts i syfte att harmonisera bestämmelserna för den gränsöverskridande hanThe Act on Distance Contracts and Off-Premises Contracts has undergone several changes to the law and developed in connection with the spread of digitalisation. This has led to increased use of digital services and goods with digital content. The design of the Distance Contracts Act's consumer protection provisions has also been influenced by modernized EU legislation, which was introduced wit

Den tekniska utvecklingen har påverkat hur vi interagerar och bidragit till betydande framsteg. Samtidigt har den medfört utmaningar i form av bristande differentiering på den inre marknaden till följd av varierande datainnehav bland aktörer. Företag och organisationer strävar efter att dra nytta av data för att skaffa konkurrensfördelar och främja innovation. I detta sammanhang står EU inför utmaThe technological development has influenced how we interact and has contributed to significant progresses. Simultaneously, it has brought challenges, particularly in the form of a lack of differentiation within the internal market due to varying control of data among actors. Companies and organizations strive to leverage data to gain competitive advantages and promote innovation. In this context,

As Hamas comes into the public eye because of their attack on Israel and their civilians on 7th October 2023 so does the question on what Hamas is. Are they a resistance movement? Or are they a terrorist organization as some countries deem them? Are they something else entirely? This paper examines their original charter from 1988 through a rhetorical framework of Stephen D. O’Leary’s apocalyptic

This study aimed to examine how empathy is portrayed in picture books for children aged 3-6. A total of 18 library books were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis, which consisted of a compilation of image and text analysis. By applying a psychological, social psychological, and communicative perspective on the empirical material, several aspects of empathy expressions were made visible.

The purpose of this study was to investigate men's experiences of being subjected to domestic violence by their female partners, identify the consequences of this violence, and analyse barriers to seeking help or leaving the relationship. The goal is to understand the nature of the violence and its impact on the men involved. Two theories have been used to analyse the results: Goffman’s theory

Domestic violence is not a new phenomenon and it is regarded as a social and public health problem worldwide. Domestic violence means great suffering for the victims of violence, but also a cost to society in the form of healthcare, lost income, sick leave, and efforts from social services. Most of the research about why women remain in or leave abusive relationships is made within an internationa

Denna studie sökte svar på huruvida människor tenderar att känna mer empati för personer som tillhör deras politiska ingrupp än de som befinner sig i utgruppen, och därmed om empati är selektivt i förhållande till politiska in- och utgrupper. Empati definieras här som (1) kognitiv empati, (2) affektiv empati, och (3) empatisk oro. Urvalet bestod av personer som identifierar sig som socialdemokrateThis study sought to answer whether people have a higher tendency to feel empathy towards people who are part of their own political ingroup, rather than those who are in the outgroup, meaning, if empathy is selective in relation to political in- and outgroups. Empathy is defined here as (1) cognitive empathy, (2) affective empathy, and (3) empathic concern. The sample consisted of people who symp

Vi människor har ett behov av sociala interaktioner för att må bra och trivas med vår tillvaro. Inom såväl organisationskultur som i team är de mellanmänskliga relationerna centrala. Denna kvalitativa intervjustudie syftar till att, genom en hermeneutisk metod, analysera hur team i en bank uppfattar sin organisationskultur samt hur arbete i team påverkar denna uppfattning. Studiens resultat visar We humans need social interaction to feel well and thrive in our existence. Within organizational culture as well as in teams, interpersonal relationships are central. In this qualitative interview study, the purpose is to, through a hermeneutic method, analyze how teams in a bank perceive their organizational culture and how working in teams affects this perception. The study results show that wo

As the world is trying to rid itself of its dependence on fossil fuels, the need for renewable energy is rapidly increasing. In the power distribution network (DN), this takes the form of distributed generation (DG) from renewable sources, such as photovoltaic (PV) power production. But as more DG is installed, it can lead to issues in the DN such as overloading and overvoltage when production is

I detta examensarbete har fokuset varit på att utveckla en programvara för hantering och analysering av brottsplatser genom interaktiva kartvisualiseringar från en mängd data. Arbetet inleddes med valet av lämpliga verktyg för kartvisualisering, där QGIS initialt övervägdes men Mapbox antogs som det slutliga valet på grund av dess flexibilitet och användbarhet [21]. Programvaran genomgick flera iIn this thesis, the focus has been on developing a software for the management and analysis of crime scenes through interactive map visualizations using a variety of data. The work began with the selection of suitable tools for map visualization, initially considering QGIS, but ultimately opting for Mapbox due to its flexibility and usability [21]. The software underwent several iterations, with u
