The polarizing effect on the relationship between the West and Russia poses poses challenges to the otherwise close ties between right-wing populist parties and Russia. The thesis utilizes political imaginary in conjunction with political narratives to understand the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 on the political imaginaries of the Sweden Democrats, the National Rally, and the
China and Russia are two influential powers within the international system which have different understandings of the threshold of nuclear use. The purpose and effect of possessing nuclear weapons have been widely researched but have yet to be utilised to analyse the broader effect on security. This thesis intends to understand the relationship between nuclear weapons’ purpose and the role and on
Sweden and Canada are internationally recognised for their contributions to defending human rights and managed to establish a reputation as humanitarian superpowers. However, both countries deal with the aftermath of a long violent past, concerning the dreadful treatment of their respective indigenous populations. In two separate contexts, the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples in Canada and t
Abstract The thesis highlights the need for a broader understanding of consociational democracy and its relationship with government immobilism and agonistic peace. Being a mixed study of the period 2006 to 2022, it suggests that the existing theory of consociational democracy, as proposed by Arend Lijphart (1969) overlooks the cyclical nature of these factors in Lebanon. The theis argues that gov
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the interconnectedness of organisational identification and employer branding when strong employee identification with corporate social responsibility is prevalent. It is based on a single case study at a Swedish manufacturing company. An abductive research approach allowed us to mutually examine the empirical field and the theory
Cloud computing är en väletablerad affärsmodell för distribution och utveckling av mjukvara. Ett problemområde som ofta nämns i kontexten cloud computing är vendor lock-in, det fenomen som uppstår när en kund upplever sig inlåst till en specifik molnleverantör. Denna studie syftar på att undersöka möjligheten för positiva effekter av vendor lock-in samt hur molnleverantörer upplevs påverka detta.
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained popularity in recent years due to their ability to solve complex problems in areas such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. However, the computational cost and memory requirements of CNNs are significant challenges for their widespread deployment, particularly in edge devices where power and area budgets are li
Det är idag vanligt förekommande att företag nyttjar en så kallad cause branding strategy för att marknadsföra sina produkter. Detta gynnar ofta både försäljningen och bilden konsumenterna får av företaget (Persis Murray, 2012, s. 84). Cause branding strategies har utvecklats och förekommer idag genom olika metoder, så kallad varuaktivism. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka feministisk varuak
PARP14, a member of the PARP family that can modify target proteins with ADP-ribose has stimulated the interest of researchers as it is involved in a variety of diseases including cancer. While some structural and activity characterization has been conducted, it has not been yet expressed and purified as a single molecule, instead it was examined in small constructs that include several of its dom
National libraries play a leading role in the creation of national identities. For that reason, the destruction and reestablishment of libraries may hold strategic meanings beyond the physical. This master thesis examines the symbols and cultural implications of such devastating events and resilient initiatives. Data for the thesis was collected through interviews with two librarians in Baghdad, w

India faces an urban unemployment crisis and a crisis of declining life quality in urban spaces due to a lack of public services and the stress on urban commons. An urban employment guarantee scheme, such as Kerala’s Ayyankali Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme (AUEGS), has the potential to address this twin crisis. Although well envisioned, AUEGS has underperformed since its inception, warranting
This master’s thesis is about cataloguing and information practices. In Sweden, most cataloguing is done in LIBRIS, a national database containing the collections of most public and academic libraries in the country. The people who catalogue books and other types of media in this database work at libraries that span the entire nation. It is a national collective engaged in the joint enterprise of
Expectations of and prerequisites for Swedish school libraries is the subject of this master’s thesis. The purpose of the thesis is to gain insights into what a school library is expected to be and what is required to achieve it. The thesis focuses on the trade union DIK's award “World class school libraries” which is meant to function as a set of criteria for what a well-functioning school li
The aim of this master’s thesis is to exhibit to what extent municipal archives in southern Sweden work with irradiation and intermediation of the historical material they possess, as well as the reasoning behind these actions. Furthermore, we also investigate whether the municipal archives’ employees experience that intermediation of the historical fonds is part of the archive’s mission. We argue
This Bachelor’s thesis attempts to provide a better understanding of how US government-funded development agencies justify their funding, how that process is conducted, and in what ways it relates to the actual practice of development. Namely, the study looks at the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the United States Agency for International Development. Specifically, it looks at how these
In the current archival science paradigm, archives implement AI-technologies to provide content as structured, machine-readable data. One of these technologies is Handwritten Text recognition (HTR) which can transcribe handwritten text. Thus, HTR turn raw digitized archival documents into machine-readable format. Technology is not developed in a vacuum, but is shaped by heterogeneous factors, ther
