Who is Truly in Charge? A Study of Local Governance Regarding the Private Railway Question, 1862–1875. This paper examines the concept of governance by situating it within the historical context of Swedish municipal self-government between 1862 and 1875. Focusing on selected municipal appeal cases concerning decisions on the construction of private railways, the study tests the applicability of go
Bakgrund: Allt fler personer vårdas i det egna hemmet trots avancerad sjukdom och med avancerad medicinsk behandling. Den mer avancerade vården sågs tidigare som den typ av vård som gavs inneliggande på sjukhus. Patienters hem utgör distriktssköterskors arbetsplats. Ibland behöver ambulans tillkallas och då ska distriktssköterskor och ambulanssköterskor samverka med varandra kring äldre patienter.
Få aspekter av våra liv bidrar lika mycket till vår identitet och som källa till men- ing som arbetet. Samtidigt är behovet av mänsklig arbetskraft för att tillfredsställa grundläggande mänskliga behov mindre än någonsin, en tendens som kan komma att accelereras ytterligare de närmaste årtiondena till följd av ny teknologi. I mitt examensarbete försöker jag ta mig an frågan vad arbete egentligen ä
Multifunctional carbodiimides (CDIs) present a safer, non-toxic alternative to conventional isocyanate crosslinkers in waterborne floor coatings. However, the inconsistent performance of CDI-crosslinked coatings has hindered the widespread adoption. This study investigates the key factors governing crosslinking efficiency to improve reliability of CDI-based systems. It was determined that crossli
This thesis proposes a new architectural approach for elderly housing in Selfoss, a town located approximately 45-50 minutes from Reykjavík. It is experiencing increased housing demand due to its growth as a service and commuter hub. Rather than directly adopting common local apartment typologies, the project reconsiders their form, spatial qualities, and relationship to the site, aiming to meet t
In this text we develop a model of countries deciding on mitigation levels of CO2 in a tit-for-tat manner. Taking key ideas from earlier papers, we construct a payoff framework which describes free-riding incentives and which assesses the utility of countries' discounted future output - an output which is reduced by both abatement costs and climate damage. We then, by means of a differential e
The Second Battle of Passchendaele (October 26 - November 10, 1917) remains one of the most enduring symbols of the Canadian experience in the First World World, yet its historical prominence contrasts with a limited comprehension of the geographic realities faced by the soldiers. This gap stems largely from the absence of geographic contextualization in teachings of military history, compounded b
This project seeks to contribute to the ongoing shift in how we respond to climate change—approaching it with the urgency it demands. It is located in Vienna’s 15th district and builds on spatial analysis, mapping of underused areas, and a contextual reading of socio-climatic conditions to highlight both spatial restrictions and hidden potentials. The selected site serves as a test field for a vis
Kan politisk retorik omvandla en rättighetsfråga till en fråga om nationell säkerhet? Denna uppsats undersöker hur abort i Donald Trumps retorik kan förstås som ett säkerhetshot, och hur en sådan problemformulering kan påverka den diskursiva förståelsen av kvinnors reproduktiva rättigheter. Med utgångspunkt i säkerhetiseringsteori och Carol Bacchis WPR-modell (What’s the Problem Represented to be?
Historic events in motions for resolutions tabled by the parliament’s party groups between 1995-2025. While recent research trends within memory studies - under the influence of sociology - have tended to focus on agency, this thesis targets the content of memory politics by using historical research to confront political memories with their historical contexts. The thesis targets motions for reso
This thesis examines the Climate Mass held in Stockholm Cathedral in September 2023. The aim is to understand the theology of the Climate Mass and how it terms and theologically processes and interpret the climate crisis in a Swedish church sermon. The thesis also investigates how the context matter for theology in eco-theological preaching in the Church of Sweden. Using an eco-theological framewo
This thesis aimed to analyze how the Taiwanese government narrates the Russo-Ukrainian war and why, regarding their foreign policy efforts and the articulation of a Taiwanese national identity. Twenty-nine articles from the Taiwanese Office of the President published between January and August 2022 were examined. In its discourse, Taiwan drew a parallel with the situation in Ukraine, portraying bo
This master thesis investigates the legal foundations for training of artificial intelligence (AI) models using personal data, with an emphasis on compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The core issue addressed is the lack of clear legal basis for AI training processes that involve the collection and use of personal data (gathered directly or indirectly thr
Purpose: This investigation was designed to examine the effects of self-monitored training combined with the use of delayed auditory feedback (DAF), on the accuracy of articulation in acquired apraxia of speech (AOS). Background: The increased number of stroke survivors leads to higher societal costs when it comes to e.g., rehabilitation. Speech and language deficits post stroke can be diminished
Forests are vital ecosystems that support biodiversity, regulate climate, and provide economic and social value. Their resilience is strongly influenced by harvesting methods, with selective cutting and rotation forestry having noticeably different impacts on carbon dynamics. Understanding these effects requires accurate data on the number and location of felled trees. Although modern harvesters c
