This study has examined four different coalition agreements from four different governments that have governed Sweden on four different occasions, 2006, 2010, 2018 and 2022. The study aims to test the theory written by political scientists Hanna Bäck & Heike Klüver regarding their scientific research in how coalition governments work in reality and the vital role of a coalition agreement. Thei

On February 24th 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine. Since then Ukraine has reported damage to more than 1000 sites of cultural importance. There are plenty of studies which map out the destruction of culture in war, however there is still no clear understanding of exactly why cultural heritage is under attack - what the motives are for targeting cultural heritage in conflicts. I therefore deemed it int

In recent years, developments in both Sweden and Denmark have birthed a movement of public demonstrations featuring the burning of Islams holy book the Quran. In the case of Sweden, the Quran-burnings has also coincided with an increased threat of terror both abroad and domestically. It is in the light of these events and developments that the purpose of this study is to investigate potential secu

This thesis investigates how China has demonstrated its assertiveness in the South China Sea throughout Xi Jinping's second presidential term, from March 2018 to March 2023. Employing the theoretical framework of Offensive Realism, the thesis seeks to unravel the motivations behind China's assertiveness in the South China Sea, contributing to a nuanced understanding of its strategic behavi

The conceptualization of loss and damage reflects diverse perspectives, evident in the disparities observed in climate negotiations. This thesis examines how the Alliance of Small Island States and the European Union portrayed loss and damage during the establishment of the loss and damage fund. Carol Bacchi’s WPR approach is used for comprehending the portrayal of loss and damage, and the methodo

This paper examines the policy standpoints of the Social Democratic party during the period from 2013 to 2023 pertaining to the issues of funding, regulation and principalship of the Swedish school system. The principal question asks whether the party has changed its position on the aforementioned issues to a more centralistic stance from the decentralistic standpoint motivated the communalisation

En själ som Brutus’ och behag som Kleopatras. Så karaktäriserar upplysningsfilosofen Denis Diderot (1713–84) i ett brev den ryska kejsarinnan Katarina den stora, sedan han mött henne i S:t Petersburg i samband med en resa till Ryssland 1773–74. Diderot förespråkade jämlikhet, men var monarkist. Den perfekta regenten var en furste med det egna folkets väl som mål, menade han.En sådan filosofi kunde

The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive capabilities of hand-calculation methods and simulations using FDS in understanding the behavior of a tunnel fire in terms of temperature and incident radiation. Additionally, the study aimed to examine the repeatability of a large-scale fire experiment. The research commenced with the execution of three similar experiments, further calle

Background: Quantitative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) first pass perfusion maps are conventionally acquired with 3 short-axis (SAX) views (basal, mid, and apical) in every heartbeat (3SAX/1RR). Thus, a significant part of the left ventricle (LV) myocardium, including the apex, is not covered. The aims of this study were 1) to investigate if perfusion maps acquired with 3 short-axis view

This study aims to broaden our historical knowledge about ideas of rationalism and monocultures in forestry science and rational forest management. Empirically, it focuses on the writings of Swedish forestry scientist Henrik Hesselman, active in the early twentieth century. The texts were analyzed using the method of historical contextualization. The study indicates that monocultures historically

A physics lecture and a mathematics lecture, by the same teacher and partly thesame students, were studied at upper secondary school. Both lectures coveredordinary differential equations. The main aim of the present paper was to investigate the teacher’s different and similar ways to handle related mathematicalcontent in the two school subjects. The findings show a structural use of mathematics wi

BackgroundBacteraemia with species in the genus Campylobacter is rare, and knowledge of the disease course in comparison to Campylobacter enteritis is limited.MethodsThis is a retrospective population-based study. Episodes of Campylobacter bacteraemia, and Campylobacter enteritis with a concurrent negative blood culture, that occurred between 2015 and 2022 in southern Sweden were identified throug

Vid utformning och dimensionering av såväl anläggningskonstruktioner som enskilda byggnadsdelar måste vanligtvis ett flertal olika belastningssituationer analyseras. Utöver statiska lastfall kan det vara nödvändigt att beakta dynamiska laster, såsom explosions- eller stötlast. För att påvisa tillräcklig bärförmåga används i allmänhet datorbaserade beräkningsmodeller, ofta framtagna med finita elemA structural design process typically involves various load cases for which a sufficient load-bearing capacity must be demonstrated. In addition to static load cases, a verification of dynamic loads, such as blast and impact loading, may be required. To this end, the response can be estimated using computational models representing an idealized structure, often formulated using the finite element

We present the use of a high capacity and high throughput acoustic trapping platform for phenotypic characterization and functional studies of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from pathogen activated platelets. Platelet rich plasma was stimulated with bacterial M1 protein isolated from S. Pyogenes, which is known to activate platelets. The subsequently released platelet EVs were isolated from 400 μL p

This chapter describes a case study of the role of mathematics in physics textbooks and in associated teacher-led lessons. The theoretical framework (Hansson L, Hansson Ö, Juter K, Redfors A. Sci Edu 24:615–644, 2015) used in the analysis focuses on relations communicated between three entities: Theoretical models, Mathematics and Reality. Previously the framework has been used for analysing class

Det är mycket rörelse på AI-fronten nu – både rättsligt, tekniskt och politiskt. Stefan Larsson, jurist och docent i teknik och social förändring vid Lunds universitet, placerar in EU-lagstiftarens AI-förordning i en både global och svensk kontext. Han beskriver processen bakom lagstiftningen, de etiska och principiella grunderna, och hur EU-lagstiftaren hanterar AI-innovationernas explosionsartad

Arvegods armchair which has its roots in the sustainable design tradition, is a journey through the eternal appeal of locally sourced materials. Bringing inspiration from the enduring bonds we create with treasured items, the user incorporate handcrafted linen textiles that evoke sentiments of love and workmanship from generations. The design encourages users to incorporate their own stories into

Purpose: To examine associations of prenatal biomarkers of pesticide exposure with birth size measures and length of gestation among newborns from the Infants' Environmental Health (ISA) birth cohort, Costa Rica. Methods: We included 386 singleton liveborn newborns with data on birth size measures, length of gestation, and maternal urinary biomarkers of chlorpyrifos, synthetic pyrethroids, mancoze
