A temporal Hawkes process model for shooting occurrences in Sweden

The Hawkes process, also referred to as a self-exciting point process, is a class of point processes where the intensity is conditioned on previous events. More specifically, an event occurrence excites the process, temporarily increasing the probability of more events occurring. One application of Hawkes processes is to model occurrences of crimes, such as burglaries or shootings. The present the

Property Taxes, Property Prices and Wealth Inequality: The role of recurrent property tax in the interaction between wealth inequality, property prices and homeownership rate with a special focus on Sweden.

This paper examines the effect of the recurrent tax on immovable property on wealth distribution. It also investigates how the wealth distributive effect of property prices is affected by the homeownership rate in a country. Data on the mean to median wealth ratio, tax sizes, property prices, homeownership rate, and economic freedom of 36 OECD member countries over the years 2000-2021 are used to

One Size Does Not Fit All - A study on crisis management within a Swedish university during the COVID-19 pandemic

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the current field of research on crisis management within higher education. More precisely, this thesis aims to increase the understanding of the scope and dimensions to be considered by universities when preparing and planning for a potential crisis. A qualitative study with abductive reasoning has been conducted to fulfill the purpose of this t

VAT and Education, An analysis of the implementation and interpreta-tion of the exemption for educational services in Swedish law

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur utbildning behandlas i förhållande till EU:s mervärdesskattelagstiftning. Vidare kommer denna uppsats att analysera rättsfall från EU-domstolen och hur domstolens tolkningar av begreppet utbildning relaterar till principen om neutralitet. Med detta som bakgrund kommer uppsatsen gå vidare och titta på hur Sverige har implementerat reglerna för denna typThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate how educational services is regu-lated for tax purposes under EU Law. Further, this thesis will analyse the case law considering educational services from the CJEU and consider how the Courts interpretation relates to the principle of neutrality. With the reg-ulation and case law as a basis, the thesis will then consider how the regula-tion of education

Population genetic structure, genetic diversity and sex determination in three bumblebees species in southern Sweden

Bumblebees are essential pollinators of wild and cultivated plants. They have experienced global declines over the last decades mainly due to habitat loss and fragmentation caused by agricultural intensification and land use changes. Haplodiploid hymenopterans with single-locus complementary sex determination (CSD), such as bees and bumblebees, are likely to experience partly different consequence

Post-fire forest management methods in Sweden: Societal perception and biological aspects

Skogsbränder - en biologisk gåva eller ett ekonomiskt nederlag? I samband med ett allt varmare klimat, inte minst på de nordliga delarna av jordklotet, ökar även antalet stora skogsbränder i våra svenska skogar. Detta är förödande, inte minst för de skogstokiga svenska folket, utan också för de många skogsägarna och den svenska ekonomin i helhet. På många sätt kan däremot skogsbränderna också sesWith an increasing global temperature, at rates twice as fast as the global average in the northern boreal forests, an increasing wildfire frequency is to be expected. Previous studies have shown that forest areas in Eurasia with high risk of wildfires today are expected to more than double in size in the following 30 years. This will have a great impact on the fire regime, biodiversity, economic

Impact of Extreme River Flows on Bridges An Application to River Lagan in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden Using HEC RAS

Strömmande vatten påverkar broar över vattendrag huvudsakligen genom: (1) hydrodynamiska krafter med direkt effekt på konstruktionen och (2) lokal erosion kring bropleare och sidostöd, inkluderat erosion på grund av flödeskontraktion. Utformning och dimensionering av broar i Sverige med avseende på direkt flödespåverkan och lokal erosion är relativt förenklad och täcker inte alla aspekter av problThe role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour. The design princ

CSR communication and the use of recycled synthetic fibres in the fashion industry: A content analysis study of two Swedish fashion brands

Fast och slow fashion, skillnader och likheter i användningen av återvunnen syntetisk fiber. Modeindustrin är bland de industrier som bidrar till de största miljömässiga problemen vad gäller utsläpp av växthusgaser, kemikalie- och vattenanvändning samt ohållbara avfall. Nu står de inför en förändring i att bli en mer hållbar industri, pådriven både från statligt håll samt från konsumenters håll.The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. Communicating products' sustainable footprint has become an ess

Audiovisual Input in the Swedish EFL Classroom

The aim of this essay is to gain insight into how audiovisual input is used in the classroom as a tool to teach vocabulary. This is done by exploring the use of digital audiovisual input in the form of film, documentaries, short videos, and cultural video content in the English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. Audiovisual input contains a few key elements: audio, video, and on-screen text; t

“I’m only numbers on paper” – A qualitative evaluation of the Internalized Weight Bias Scale in a Swedish sample

Viktstigma inbegriper negativa stereotyper och negativa attityder riktade mot individer med obesitas eller övervikt. Internalisering av viktstigma, en process som också kallas självstigmatisering, kan ha negativa konsekvenser för hälsan. Det finns för närvarande inget instrument för att mäta självstigmatisering i en svensk kontext. Att utveckla ett sådant instrument skulle kunna vara avgörande för

Electoral Political Participation at the Core of Democracy: A Human Rights-Based Study of the Swedish Electoral System

I detta examensarbete undersöker jag hur det demokratiska statsskicket upprätthålls och skyddas i det svenska rättssystemet, samt vilka typer av risker rättssystemet utgör för upprätthållandet av demokratin i Sverige. Nyligen publicerade rapporter från icke-statliga organisationer visar att världen, och Europa, är i en trend av demokratisk tillbakagång. Det är därför dags att utvärdera vilka riske
