Föreliggande uppsats har som övergripande syfte att fördjupa förståelsen för hur elever i en mångkulturell skolkontext språkligt positionerar sig inom ramen för svenskundervisningen. Särskilt fokus riktas mot hur gymnasieelever navigerar mellan förortssvenska och andra språkliga varieteter i relation till skolans språkliga normer, samt hur dessa språkpraktiker påverkar elevernas upplevelser av ideThis thesis aims to deepen the understanding of how students in a multicultural school context linguistically position themselves within the framework of Swedish language education. Particular attention is given to how students navigate between suburban Swedish and different linguistic varieties — in relation to dominant language norms in the classroom, and how these practices shape their experien
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
Varje minut räknas på en intensivvårdsavdelning. Att snabbt kunna avgöra vilka patienter som har störst risk att gå bort kan vara avgörande för att rädda liv och för att använda resurser på bästa sätt. Men kan moderna maskininlärnings tekniker använda sig av digitala medicinregister för att göra dagens riskbedömningar ännu bättre? I detta examensarbete undersöks om digitala medicinregister kan förEarly and accurate prediction of patient outcomes in intensive care units (ICUs) is essential to help with effective clinical decision-making and resource allocation. This thesis investigates the predictive performance of logistic regression and machine learning models for 30-day mortality following ICU admission. The thesis has a particular focus on the contribution of medication administration r
Violent internal conflicts have characterized Sri Lanka for much of the last century, often driven by issues of identity, ideology, and victimhood. In 1983, a civil war broke out between the Sinhalese-dominated government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), lasting until 2009, when government forces defeated the LTTE militarily. Although the war has ended, the population continues to
Costa Rica is often regarded as a role model among Latin American countries, with a relatively high level of social development and education. However, just like many other countries in this region, it has enacted far-reaching neoliberal policies since the 1980s, and many of these have negatively affected rural workers in the agricultural sector. This thesis explores how people in rural areas in C
Following Russia´s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Sweden made the historic decision to abandon its more than 200-year long policy of neutrality by applying for a membership in the military alliance (NATO). This shift marked a significant reconstruction of the Swedish Armed Forces. Although the Swedish Armed Forces have long been recognized as one of the most gender-equal military organizations, thi
Det här arbetet kommer att undersöka hur det grönländska narrativet representeras i den politiska konflikten om USAs uttalade intresse att ta över ön. Arbetet baseras på en kvalitativ narrativ analys av politiska uttalanden och media artiklar. Resultatet visar på hur det grönländska perspektivet kommer i skymundan för andra aktörers intressen. Resultatet av analysen visar på hur en narrativ konstr
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur Donald Trump i intervjuer och tal konstruerar problem kring yttrandefrihet. Materialet är begränsat till tal och intervjuer i början av Trumps andra mandatperiod som president i USA. Talen och intervjuerna analyseras sedan genom kritisk diskursanalys utifrån Carol Bacchis metodologiska ramverk: "What's the problem represented to be?. Det teore
This case study aims to examine how a negative image of Sweden is constructed in the LVU campaign, a transnational disinformation campaign that accuses the Swedish state of systematically kidnapping children from foreign and muslim backgrounds. It employs a qualitative case study design and critical discourse analysis to explore different discursive strategies in which Sweden is portrayed as a mal
The European Union’s recent history of sanctions targeting the Russian Federation can be dated back to 2014 when the latter committed to its illegal annexation of the Crimean peninsula from the state of Ukraine. In the wake of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 have we seen how the European Union has expanded upon these preexisting sanctions through several extensive sanctions pac
This thesis analyzes Sweden's management of the covid-19 pandemic with a focus on the balance between expert authority and democratic responsibility in a crisis scenario. The Study is based on the Corona commissions report and relevant scholarly literature, which are used to analyze how expert knowledge shaped political decision-making and public communication. The findings show that the Swedi
This thesis examines how Region Skåne and Region Stockholm work to comply with the Swedish care guarantee (vårdgarantin), with a particular focus on the management of waiting lists and the referral of patients to other regions. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative case study design based on document analysis of official reports, policy documents, and statistical data. The analysis is gui
In light of a feminist read of violence as existent along continuums, this study examines how violence against women and girls is discursively represented in Northern Ireland’s strategy to End Violence Against Women and Girls. This is done based on Carol Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be” approach to policy analysis, through which two prominent problem representations were identified.
The relationship between peace and business actors is by no means a simple one, and a substantial body of research has been devoted to analysing the many ways in which businesses fuel conflicts around the world. Yet, recent years have seen an increased interest in the notion of business actors as potential peacemakers. Simultaneously, the interest in inclusive peace processes, and particularly civ
This study demonstrates how Leviticus 21 formulates priestly sanctity through laws that regulate gender, class, and impurity within the Holiness Legislation. By applying a synchronic critical discourse analysis, informed by the distinction between ritual and moral impurity, the analysis explores how legal form produces hierarchical exclusions that reinforce priestly dominance, sanctioned through a
Det här examensarbetet går ut på att göra en konceptstudie och dimensionering av ett handledsverktyg för den snabba materialhanteringsroboten HKM från Cognibotics. Handledsverktyget skall möjliggöra att robotens funktionalitet utökas och breddas. HKM-robotens unika kombination av räckvidd och hastighet i kombination med ett nytt handledsverktyg ger företaget goda möjligheter att etablera sig inom The purpose of this thesis is to perform a conceptual study and dimensioning of a wrist tool for the high-speed material handling robot HKM by Cognibotics. The wrist tool is intended to enhance and broaden the robot's functionality. The unique combination of reach and speed of the HKM robot, in combination with the new wrist tool, gives the company good prospects to establish itself in the log
Vi människor lär oss mycket genom att prova oss fram. När vi märker att något fungerar bra, gör vi det igen och när något går dåligt, försöker vi undvika det i framtiden. Förstärkningsinlärning handlar om att ta inspiration från hur människor lär sig genom att interagera med sin omgivning. När en enskild person växlar pengar, till exempel inför en semester, påverkar det inte växelkursen nämnvärt.This thesis investigates the suitability of reinforcement learning (RL) for solving the optimal execution problem in financial trading. It evaluates the strengths, limitations, and practical considerations of applying RL techniques to this task. Several RL algorithms were implemented and tested, including Double Deep Q-Network (Double DQN) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO), both of which achi
In this thesis we employ the method of eigenfamilies in order to construct explicit examples of complete minimal submanifolds in the classical non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces $$\SLR n/\SO(n),\ \Sp(n,\R)/\UU(n),\ \SO^*(2n)/\UU(n),\ \SU^*(2n)/\Sp(n).$$ In each case, we produce a multidimensional parametrized family of complete minimal submanifolds of codimension two. The results form a conti
