PurposeThis study aims to assess the diffusion and integration of Circular Economy (CE) knowledge across academic disciplines, by examining how CE concepts spread within mainstream academic and disciplinary discourses.Design/Methodology/ApproachCE is conceptualized as a knowledge object, distinguishing between mainstream academic discourse (MAD) and mainstream disciplinary discourse (MDD). The res

This paper presents a lightweight architecture for AI-driven tutoring in extended reality (XR) environments, integrating OpenAI's GPT-4o real-time API directly into Unitybased virtual reality (VR) to enable seamless voice-native interaction without external speech modules. Designed for taskbased learning, the tutor provides immediate, context-sensitive verbal feedback with adaptive brevity and low

In this paper, a revisit to the topic of electromagnetic scattering by a randomly oriented obstacle is made.The focus is on a general polarization state of the incident field.Specifically, the left and right circular polarizations are treated. We derive the analytic expressions of the scattering observables, such as the orientational averages of the extinction, scattering and absorption cross sectIn this paper, a revisit to the topic of electromagnetic scattering by a randomly oriented obstacle is made.

Authors as laborers and capitalists. Political self publishing in 1970s Sweden.From the late 1960s and onwards, many Swedish authors started questioning the publishing industry. The relationship between author and publisher was increasingly interpreted as a relationship between wage-laborer and capitalist. As a consequence, initatives to help authors publish without a traditional publisher were la

With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside. While creating opportunities for rural living, it has also opened a discussion on rural gentrification risks. The concept of rural gentrification encircles the influx of new residents leading to an economic upgrade of an area making it unaffordable for local With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside.

Wearable eye tracking in unconstrained settings is often compromised by slippage, yet the direct relationship between physical frame displacement and gaze error remains unexplored. This study addresses this gap combining eye tracking and motion capture to evaluate the slippage robustness of Pupil Labs Neon, Tobii Pro Glasses 3 and ViewPointSystems Lite eye trackers. Data were collected as twelve p

Området svensk modehistoria växer mer än någonsin tidigare, men det är fortfarande en liten och sårbar miljö. Få forskare ägnar sig åt modehistoria som sitt huvudsakliga expertområde. Modehistoria är ett relativt nytt forskningsområde med rötter i etnologi, konsthistoria och museiverksamhet. Idag finns det ett svenskt nätverk för modehistoria, men miljön behöver stärkas genom doktorandprojekt och The field of Swedish fashion history is expanding more than ever before, but it remains a small and vulnerable environment. Few researchers devote themselves to fashion history as their main area of expertise. Fashion history is a relatively new field of research with roots in ethnology, art history, and museums. Today, there is a Swedish fashion history network, but the environment needs to be st

Utvecklingen av kriminella nätverk och deras rekrytering av barn i Sverige är och fortsätter vara en oroande utveckling. Rekryteringen utförs ofta av äldre barn, processen går ofta snabbt och yngre barn ses som billig arbetskraft som är lätt att manipulera till att begå olika typer av allvarliga brott. Dessa barn är ofta både offer och förövare på samma gång. För att hantera rekryteringen och att The development of criminal networks and its recruitment of children in Sweden over the last few years have been and continue to be a worrying development. The recruitment is often conducted by older children, it is often a short process, and younger children are seen as cheap labour who are easy to manipulate into committing a variety of different severe crimes. These children are often both vict

This thesis aims to examine, explore, and analyze the implications and consequences of the current Trump administration’s development of and conduct in the “war on drugs” on international law as well as the international community. To achieve this, I work under the theoretical frameworks of “law in context” and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Through a mixed methodology, which

The last two decades have seen considerable advancements in biometric technology, and consequently its use as a surveillance measure during occupation. The increasingly invasive and omniscient nature of biometric surveillance technologies means they constitute a considerable infringement on the private sphere of occupied populations, and consequently an interference with their right to privacy. Th

This thesis examines how Swedish farmers experience and interpret the EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement, and what these perceptions reveal about broader tensions in the EU agricultural governance. Through an anthropological lens, the findings indicate that concerns are not primarily driven by opposition to trade, but by perceptions of unequal regulatory conditions, contradictory policy goals and reduced

Detta examensarbete genomförs i samarbete med Axis Communications och där syftet är att undersöka samt utveckla en automatiserad testmiljö för avståndsmätning i ett RFID-system. Bakgrunden till examensarbetet är att den tidigare manuella testmiljön är tidskrävande och känslig för mänsklig påverkan, vilket försvårar möjligheten att genomföra repeterbara och jämförbara mätningar. Målet med examensarThis thesis is conducted in collaboration with Axis Communications and aims to investigate and develop an automated test environment for distance measurement in an RFID system. The background of the thesis is that the previous manual test environment is time-consuming and sensitive to human influence, which complicates the possibility of performing repeatable and comparable measurements. The objec

Child welfare investigations within social services are conducted in an organizational context characterized by high demands, limited resources, and growing administrative responsibilities. This study aims to highlight social workers’ experiences of organizational conditions in child welfare investigations and how these conditions are managed in practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted

This study aims to investigate the role of relationship building in social work and the strategies social workers use to create and maintain positive and sustainable relationships with clients. The study is based on an abductive approach and applies a qualitative methodology. Empirical data were collected through two focus groups and three semi-structured interviews with professional social worker

This study aimed to examine the extent to which social work students expressed empathy toward perpetrators of violence and to analyze whether the level of education and the perpetrator’s gender had an impact on empathy. This study used a quantitative, deductive approach. Hypotheses were formulated based on previous research and theories of empathy. Data was collected via a digital questionnaire di
