  English abstract:	In this article I analyze how Marxist thought travels across media boundaries, focusing on characterization and montage, with the point of departure in a manga version of Capital (volume I). These changes can be viewed in terms of corruption, but also in terms of resources. Among other things, the artform of comics makes it possible to reach new audiences, and to connect ideas to new contexts.

  English abstract:

  Aims: To examine parents’ experiences of abuse directed at them by their adult children with drug problems. Material and Method: The material consists of 32 qualitative interviews on child-to-parent abuse with 24 mothers and eight fathers. The interviewees had experienced verbal abuse (insults), emotional abuse (threats), financial abuse (damage to property and possessions) and physical abuse (physical violence). Findings: In the parents’ narratives, the parent-child interaction is dominated by the child’s destructive drug use, which the parents are trying to stop. This gives rise to conflicts and ambivalence. The parents’ accounts seem to function as explaining and justifying their children’s disruptive behavior in view of the drug use. The fact that an external factor - drugs - is blamed seems to make it easier to repair the parent-child bonds. The parents differentiate between the child who is sober and the child who is under the influence of drugs, that is, between the genuine child and the fake, unreal child. The sober child is a person that the parent likes and makes an effort for. The child who is on drugs is erratic, at times aggressive and self-destructive. Conclusions: The interviewed parents’ well-being is perceived as directly related to how their children’s lives turn out. The single most important factor in improving the parents’ situation is to find a way for their adult child to live their lives without drug problems.

• Konceptutveckling av bindningsverktyg SkiClicker 2.0
  Jordy, Daniel; Dalebjer, Magnus  : Malmö universitet/Teknik och samhälle (2019)	Bachelor thesis

  

  

  English abstract:	Accurate fitting of a ski boot in a ski binding is vital in order to minimize the injury risk for the skier. An incorrect fit increases the risk of early or late binding release which in turn could be dangerous for the skier. In ski sales and ski rental shops today the mounting and fitting of bindings are done with the aid of an actual ski boot, this is time consuming and the ski boot is not very easy to manouver. "No More Boots" is a company that have developed a tool which speeds up the process and eliminates the need to use ski boots when mounting and fitting bindings. A concept is developed for a new, improved version of the original tool. The purpose of the project is to improve solutions regarding fixation, ergonomics and weather proofing of the existing tool. The goal is to present a concept that answers towards the upgraded specification list. The concept is presented through illustrations and drawings. A concept that answers to the specification list is developed through concept generation. The thought process of user centered design is applied throughout the project. The winning concept is chosen through a choice of concept matrix and is then further developed through sketches, sketch models, renders, CAD models and a prototype. The winning concept answers towards the specification list regarding fixing, ergonomics and weather proofing. It entails a fixing mechanism that utilizes normal forces, a handle that is ergonomical towards the intended use of the tool and weatherproofing thanks to the mechanical components being located inside the handle. Calculations are done on friction force and the bending stress that arises in the tool. Materials are chosen through the aid of choice of material charts. Finally the parts are assembled and shown in a assembly made in Solidworks.
  Swedish abstract:	En skidpjäxas passform i en bindning för utförskidåkning är vital för att minimera åkarens skaderisk. Utan korrekt passform löper skidåkare större risk att drabbas av bindningar som löser ut för tidigt eller för sent. Inpassning av bindningar vid försäljning samt uthyrning av skidor görs i nuläget med hjälp av en pjäxa och tidsåtgången för att hämta pjäxor samt svårigheten för att arbeta med en pjäxa som monteringsverktyg är stor. "No More Boots" är ett företag som har utvecklat ett verktyg för att snabba på processen och eliminera behovet av att använda pjäxor vid inställning samt montering av bindningar. På uppdrag av kund utvecklas ett koncept för ett nytt förbättrat verktyg. Syftet med konceptet är att det nya verktyget ska innehålla förbättrade lösningar gällande fixering, ergonomi och vädertålighet med materialval och tillverkningprocesser i åtanke. Målet är att genom illustrationer och ritningar presentera ett koncept som svarar mot den definierade kravspecifikationern. Ett koncept som svarar mot kravspecifikationen tas fram genom en konceptgenerering. Processen genomsyras av användarcentrerad designmetodik. Ett vinnande koncept utses genom konceptval och vidareutvecklas sedan med skisser, skissmodeller, renderingar, CAD-modeller samt en skalenlig prototyp. Det vinnande konceptet svarar mot kraven på fixering, ergonomi och vädertålighet genom fixering med normalkraftsöverföring, ett handtag som ergonomiskt svarar mot tänkt arbetssätt samt mekaniska komponenter som är inkapslade i handtaget. Beräkningar utförs på friktionskrafter och huvudspänningar i konstruktionen och därefter görs materialval med hjälp av materialvalskartor. Slutligen presenteras verktygets delar i en renderad sammanställning gjord i Solidworks.

  English abstract:

  This project aimed to test Social Bond Theory and Social Learning perspectives on radical crime. This was done in order to fill a research gap in criminology by studying radical crime, and gaps in radicalization research, by examining the differences between violent and non-violent radicals and using a quantitative approaching. The central research question was “How do social bonds and social learning influence the likelihood of violent radical crime in the United States?” 2148 radical criminals from the Profiles of Individuals Radicalized in the United States (PIRUS) dataset were analyzed using a logistic regression, wherein violence was the dependent variable, and the independent variables corresponded to aspects of social bonds and social learning. The results indicate that Social Bond Theory has little predictive value for violence among radical criminals, and what predictive value it has may be explained by neutralization and other theories, excepting a marginally significant positive effect of marital status on the likelihood of violence. Social learning perspectives were somewhat more predictive, with radical peers having a significant positive effect on the likelihood of radical violence. SES, ideology and criminal history had significant positive effects as well. We conclude by exploring theoretical explanations and further research implications of our results.
