There are indications that state repression against environmental activism is increasing on a global scale. Meanwhile, there is a knowledge gap concerning this phenomenon in Sweden. This thesis studies why state repression occurs in Sweden. By conducting semi-structured interviews with environmental activists, and a literature review, state repression against environmental activists is explored. T

The aim of this study is to research the journalism industry of today and explore which skills and knowledge are desirable, or required, for a journalist to possess in order to make it in the profession. This is analyzed with a conceptual framework of media evolution theory which explains the ways in which the industry has changed over the years and what the main contributing factors are to the ch

Geographic Profiling (GP) may be used when searching for an unknown offender by applying mathematical algorithms to geographical information. This thesis aimed to contribute to improvement of the efficiacy of GP’s produced by law enforcement by evaluating a the new Spaulding/Morris Centrographic (SMC)-method of GP that claims to counteract two of the main difficulties when constructing a GP in a r

Uppsatsen “Maktlekar i Digital Dräkt” utför en fallstudie i form av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att utforska hur maktlekar har omformulerats och anpassats till det digitala medielandskapet genom TikTok-utmaningar (challenges). Genom att analysera diskussioner från forum som Flashback och Reddit samt riskfyllda TikTok-utmaningar som Skull-breaker challenge och Blackout challenge, undersöker a

Drawing upon previous studies in the fields of organisational theory and intelligence failure, this paper examines the efforts of the Swedish intelligence community in connection to two major crises: the submarine issue of the 1980s and early 1990s as well as the tsunami disaster of 2004. Firstly, when studying its performance in both instances, the paper finds that the intelligence community fail

Subkulturer har länge varit ett ämne av intresse för samhällsvetenskapen. I takt med medialiseringen förflyttades stora delar av socialt umgänge till det digitala landskapet, vilket möjliggjort för nya moderna subkulturer att växa fram inom den digitala världen. I samband med samhällets utveckling har det blivit lämpligt att undersöka huruvida tidigare traditionell forskning och definition om subk

The aim of this thesis is to analyze the use of creative techniques in documentary: Dear Zachary through visual storytelling. As well as analyze how the use of visual storytelling in Dear Zachary relates to theoretical boundaries within documentary filmmaking and the concerns from the journalistic field. The documentary: Dear Zachary is an inspiring story about grief, love and perseverance. This c

This thesis has examined how reflexive messages can be influenced by embedded functions on social media platforms. The purpose of the study has been to understand if, and how social media platforms can facilitate various kinds of reflexive control through their embedded functions. The study was conducted through comparing two social media platforms, Facebook and TikTok using a constructed framewor

Bakgrund: Trots att infertilitet är ett växande globalt folkhälsoproblem visar aktuellt forskningsläge på att män och kvinnor ofta saknar medvetenhet om faktorer som påverkar deras förmåga att bli gravida. Genom att öka medvetenheten om fertilitet och relaterade riskfaktorer kan människor genom medvetna val minska förekomsten av ofrivillig barnlöshet samt optimera utfall av graviditeter och hälsan

Varje år sker en ökande urbanisering och med fler människor i en stad så ökar trafikbelastning och därmed risken för olyckor. Därför är det viktigt att kommunerna arbetar med att skapa trafikmiljöer som är säkra för gående, cyklister, bilister och kollektivtrafiken. Trafiksäkerhet och komfort är två viktiga parametrar att arbeta med eftersom dessa de bidrar till de transportpolitiska målen och nolEvery year there is an increasing urbanization and traffic load, which means that we have to create traffic environments that are safe for pedestrians, cyclists, vehicles and public transport. Traffic safety and comfort are two important parameters that are worked with, and the aim is to increase traffic safety and comfort which contribute to the transport policy goals and the zero vision where no

Elektriker och servicepersonal vistas frekvent inom områden där högspänningskomponenter förekommer. Detta arbete undersöker möjligheten att utnyttja maskininlärning, mer specifikt djupinlärning som grund i ett system som varnar elektriker och servicepersonal om strömförande komponenter och ledningar.In this thesis, sensor data from substations and distribution centrals in Sweden and Germany is analysed and used to predict the voltage environment which the device is within. The theory needed for understanding the measured values is explained, and the notion of multivariate time series is introduced along with the reason for using deep learning to solve the problem at hand. Several ways of extr

The rapid evolution of machine learning techniques has revolutionized computer vision, particularly with the introduction of Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) and the optimization of 3D Gaussians for rendering novel scene views. These methods, such as NeRF and Gaussian Splatting, have demonstrated success in synthetic data scenarios with consistent lighting and well-captured scenes. This research expl

Jordan is a very water stressed country with very low annual renewable water resources per capita. The effluent wastewater from two Jordanian phosphate mines (the Al-Abiad and the Eshidiya mine) was analysed and compared with the national and international standards and regulations for irrigation and industrial effluent wastewater. The water management at the mines was examined from a sustainable

Research question: How are metaphors used in Börspodden and how are they expressing biases? Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the metaphoric depiction of biases in podcast within the category of business. This objective is achieved through a discourse analysis to identify the underlying biases that can be interpreted from the use of metaphors. Methodology: The purpose of the study

The bachelor course AAHF30 - Architecture in the Contemporary explores various digital processes and fabrication techniques to address critical climate change issues through an individual design in the form of a naturum. The Notus naturum project originated from observing a site characterized by flat terrain and strong winds, prompting an investigation into wind's impact on ecosystems and clim

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att identifiera vad som definierar ett framgångsrikt byggprojekt och vilka framgångsfaktorerna är för att säkerställa att projektet enligt beställaren blir framgångsrikt. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur kravställningen i de administrativa föreskrifterna påverkar ett projekts framgång. Frågeställningar: • Hur definierar beställaren ett framgångsrikt projekt? • Vilka

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

Swedish public service radio has during its almost 100 years undergone several transformations due to technical, societal and cultural changes. A transformation still in motion can be attributed to the arrival of the internet, the digitalization of the recording, storage and distribution of sound, as well as the fast paced evolution of the global media landscape. When the mp3-file and the internet
