This thesis investigates generational differences in online fashion return behavior in China, focusing on wardrobing and bracketing. An integrated framework combining the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Generational Cohort Theory (GCT) is tested using a sequential explanatory mixed‑methods design. The quantitative phase surveyed 225 Chinese fashion e‑commerce consumers (Generations X, Y, and
This thesis examines how circular fashion services are made practically possible across physical and digital retail touchpoints. While circular retailing is often discussed as a strategic response to fashion’s sustainability problem, the availability of services such as repair, resale, care, and take-back does not automatically lead to participation. Drawing on social practice theory and the mater
This study investigates consumer-perceived frictions in cross-channel return processes within Nordic omnichannel retailing and examines how these frictions reflect underlying reverse logistics (RL) integration gaps. While omnichannel research has extensively addressed seamless front-end experiences, the post-purchase return phase remains under-theorized and is often treated as a “black box”, disco
The contemporary tourism industry operates within a market-oriented and rationalised logic where risk and uncertainty are primarily perceived as sources of value destruction. While such an approach provides safety and convenience, it simultaneously reduces the spontaneity and unpredictability associated with the unknown. At the same time, the opposite end of the tourism spectrum — unconventional t
Mental health problems in Sweden are a growing concern, especially among children and young adults. Child and adolescent psychiatry services (BUP) in Sweden currently have more active cases than in previous years. Consequences of this include an increase in diagnoses of ADHD, a higher risk of suicide among children and young adults, and a growing number of involuntary hospitalisations. The purpose
Climate change, shifting travel patterns, and the growing popularity of Arctic destinations have driven a rapid increase in tourism in Longyearbyen, Svalbard, over the past few decades. Simultaneously, Longyearbyen is at the end of a transition from a coal-mining community toward a tourism-focused town. While previous research on Svalbard has largely focused on environmental sustainability and gov
Carbon accounting has become an important part of sustainability governance, as organisations are increasingly expected to report and justify their climate impacts. However, emissions figures are not neutral technical outputs. They are shaped by methodological choices, boundaries, assumptions, data infrastructures, and professional judgement. This is especially relevant for municipalities, where c
This thesis explores the tensions between second-hand clothing consumption enabled by digital platforms such as Vinted and Sellpy as sustainable alternatives to fast fashion. Rather than treating the narratives at face value, we critically examine how service design elements on second-hand digital platforms mirror those of fast fashion. By keeping our focus on Generation Z consumers, we draw on So
This study aims to explore the importance of relations as a contributing factor to attendance-promoting work. It’s a qualitative semi-structured interview study that is based on the perspectives of seven professionals in different compulsory schools in southern Sweden. The professionals who were interviewed are two school counselors, one school psychologist, two special education teachers, and two
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur socialsekreterare arbetar för att möjliggöra barns delaktighet i utredningar och beslutsprocesser som rör barn vars föräldrar har ett pågående alkoholmissbruk, samt att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar möjligheten till delaktighet. Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsdesign där semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med socialsekreteThis study aimed to examine how social workers facilitate children's participation in investigations and decision-making processes concerning children whose parents have ongoing alcohol misuse, and identify factors influencing opportunities for participation. The study was based on a qualitative research design using semi-structured interviews with social workers working within child welfare s
Research on video games and sustainability has predominantly focused on game design — examining how serious games, gamification, and narrative design can transmit ecological knowledge or shape sustainability-related behaviour. This design-centred approach, however, treats sustainability as a property to be embedded in the game system and received by players, leaving a theoretical blind spot: it ca
This thesis analyzes how South Asian immigrant families in Helsingborg with children utilize, perceive, and sustain car-free mobility in their lives. It reveals that car-free mobility is not merely the absence of car ownership, but a practice shaped by material conditions, users' competencies, and the meanings they attach to different cultural norms and early practice experience in their daily
This study aims to explore the role of brand narratives in customer engagement using motivational dimensions in the digital context. Although previous studies have shown that narratives improve customers' responses, engagement is frequently considered as a one-dimensional outcome, ignoring the fact that it is multidimensional. To fill this gap, this study examines the effect of various feature
This thesis explores the phenomenon of quiet-luxury-inspired imitation fashion products in China. In recent years, quiet luxury has regained increasing visibility as a fashion aesthetic associated with understated design, subtle distinction, and material quality. With this trend, Chinese e-commerce platforms have seen the growth of brands that imitate the aesthetic and material qualities of high-e
In the context of increasing geopolitical tensions and the growing use of economic coercion in international relations, the European Union adopted (EU) Regulation 2023/2675 better known as the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI). This study analyses the political and legal developments that led to the adoption of the regulation, alongside its objectives, and its operational structure. It further examin
Genom 1877 års reform avskaffades den offentliga verkställigheten av dödsstraffet i Sverige. Fram till dess hade avrättningen länge utgjort en offentlig straffpraktik, där dödsdomen fullbordades inför en närvarande publik. Offentligheten var inte endast en yttre form för verkställigheten, utan en del av det sätt på vilket straffet motiverades, kommunicerades och förväntades få verkan. Denna uppsatThrough the reform of 1877, the public execution of the death penalty was abolished in Sweden. Until then, execution had long constituted a public penal practice in which the death sentence was carried out before a present audience. Publicity was not merely an external form of execution, but part of the way in which punishment was justified, communicated, and expected to take effect. This thesis a
Denna uppsats syftar till att behandla den rättsliga bedömningen och till-lämpningen av 7 § i lag (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott, dvs. strafföreskriften för näringspenningtvätt. Bestämmelsen är konstruerad utan krav på att behöva styrka något förbrott och utgör ett s.k. riskbrott. Det som kriminaliseringen tar sikte på är enligt förarbetenas terminologi ett klander-värt risktagande. BThis thesis aims to examine the legal assessment and application of Para-graph 7 of the Swedish Act on Criminal Liability for Money Laundering Offences (2014:307), i.e. the provision concerning business money launder-ing. The provision is constructed without a requirement to prove any specif-ic predicate offence and constitutes a so-called endangerment offence. Ac-cording to the preparatory works,
