This thesis contributes to the ongoing scholarly debate about the relation of individual freedom and the Swedish welfare state. The point of departure is the theory of statist individualism, as propounded by Berggren & Trägårdh, which this paper intends to quantitatively assess through individual level proxies. The research utilizes European Social Survey data from 2016 in order to create thre

This thesis, investigates how computational design methods can translate individually distinct reused brick fragments into expressive architectural façade systems. By combining material classification, digital pattern generation, and principles of robotic fabrication, the project explores how variation can be composed rather than eliminated. The research is situated within the historical context o

Vegetation phenology and productivity provide information on seasonal vegetation patterns, such as green-up timing, seasonal decline, and vegetation production during the growing season. These patterns are closely related to climate conditions, but their relationships may vary across regions. This thesis examined the spatial linear relationships of vegetation phenology and productivity with climat

Mellan 1983 och 2009 pågick en konflikt mellan de srilankesiska säkerhetsstyrkorna och den separatistiska organisationen Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) i den nordöstra delen av Sri Lanka. Konflikten resulterade i hundratusentals döda, försvunna, och internflyktingar. Sri Lankas muslimska minoritet hamnade i korselden, blev direkt måltavla för båda sidor i konflikten, och utförde hämndattaBetween 1983 and 2009, Sri Lanka’s northeast was ravaged by a conflict between the Sri Lankan security forces and the secessionist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). The conflict resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, disappearances, and displacements. Sri Lanka’s Muslim minority was caught in the crossfire, directly targeted by both sides to the conflict, and attacked civilians in ret

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan studenters användning av stora språkmodeller inom högre utbildning och deras tankar kring användningens effekter på lärande. Genom att ta avstamp i en kvalitativ metod och semistrukturerade intervjuer undersöks ämnet via studenters självrapporterade användning av stora språkmodeller, eventuella tankar kring användningens effekter på lärande s

Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how

Vågornas betydelse för etablering av sjögräs Sjögräsängar utgör ett av världens viktigaste marina ekosystem. De fungerar som kolsänkor, renar kustvatten och är en kritisk barnkammare för fisk och andra arter. Däremot har nästan 30 procent av allt sjögräs globalt försvunnit sedan slutet på 1900-talet och därför har FN utropat 2021 - 2030 till det globala årtiondet för återställande av ekosystem, fThe global decline of seagrass meadows has increased the need for effective restoration strategies, yet recovery is often limited by physical environmental stressors. This thesis investigates the hydrodynamic thresholds influencing seagrass seedling survival and recruitment along the Adelaide coastline in Gulf St. Vincent, South Australia. The study focuses on two sites with similar environmental

Climate modeling scenarios, despite covering a wide range of biogeophysical possibilities for future climate change, remain sociopolitically narrow. This is particularly the case in climate mitigation, where green-growth driven negative emissions technologies are considered key to achieving climate mitigation goals like the Paris Agreement warming target. Building on the degrowth and postgrowth cl

AI-Assisted and Semi-Autonomous tools are becoming relevant for enterprises. The adoption of these tools requires understanding how different practitioners perceive and use them responsibly in their organizations. This thesis examines how enterprise software development practitioners govern AI-assisted and semi-autonomous tools in everyday development workflows. As these tools increasingly support

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are central to the digital transformation of healthcare and are intended to support coordination, documentation, and access to patient information across healthcare settings. However, technical interoperability does not necessarily mean that exchanged information is usable in clinical work. This thesis examines how healthcare professionals experience the interopera

As data generation accelerates globally, organizations accumulate vast amounts of unused information, commonly referred to as dark data. While dark data is widely recognized as holding potential decision value, it persistently remains inaccessible, revealing a paradox between perceived importance and practical neglect. This study examines how organizations in Sweden make dark data accessible for d

Bakgrund På grund av den rådande klimatkrisen måste Sverige göra omfattande klimatanpassningar för att skydda sig mot kommande och nuvarande effekter av klimatförändringarna. Ansvaret för arbetet tillfaller för det mesta Sveriges kommuner genom bland annat planmonopolet. Kommunerna kan söka finansiering för dessa typer av åtgärder genom matchade statsbidrag. Däremot är bidragsprocessen för de svenIn response to growing risks associated with climate change, Sweden must address the need for climate change adaptations. A central actor in addressing this is Swedish municipalities, due to their local planning monopoly and their ability to identify risks associated with local geographical conditions. However, studies have shown that there are several obstacles within the process of adapting to c

As the need to limit the effect of climate change gets stronger, the transition to sustainable energy solutions becomes very important. Solar thermal energy and green hydrogen production represent two quite promising sustainable fields towards decarbonizing industrial processes and energy sectors. This thesis presents an extensive simulation and performance analysis of a solar thermal energy syste

Malaria remains a major public health concern in Sudan, where transmission is influenced by climate variability, environmental conditions, population displacement, conflict, and disruptions to healthcare services. Using ERA5 climate data, a Climate Suitability Index (CSI) was developed to evaluate the climatic suitability for Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Sudan between 2000 and 2024. Annua

Incels definieras som de individer vilka lever i ett ofrivilligt celibat, men innefattar även en delad världsuppfattning. Deras världsuppfattning kan kort beskrivas inneha offermentalitet, beskyllande av omgivningen samt kvinnofientlighet. Då vi funnit kunskapsluckor i forskningen gällande hur incels uttrycker och skapar gruppsammanhållning, såväl som hur de förhåller sig till maskulinitetsnormer,

Att åldras och upprätthålla en god hälsa innebär att kunna hantera en mängd olika stressfyllda livshändelser och vardagliga påfrestningar, vilket gör coping till en central psykologisk funktion i högre ålder. En tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes inom den pågående longitudinella kohortstudien Gott åldrande i Skåne för att undersöka ålders- och könsskillnader i coping bland äldre. Urvalet (N = 2722) bestAs individuals age, maintaining health involves managing a range of stressful life events and daily hassles, making coping a key psychological function in older adulthood. A cross-sectional design was employed within the ongoing longitudinal cohort study Good Aging in Skåne (GÅS) to examine age and gender differences in coping among older adults. The study sample (N = 2722) consisted of randomly s

Denna kandidatuppsats syftar till att undersöka hur avhoppare och avhopparverksamheter konstrueras i svenska policydokument i relation till en kriminalpolitisk kontext där repressiva inslag blivit alltmer framträdande. Studien tar sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i ett poststrukturalistiskt perspektiv med Michel Foucaults governmentalityperspektiv som grund, kompletterat av David Garlands teori om

This Master’s thesis in Library and Information Science examines, using critical discourse analysis as both theory and method, the discourse surrounding the Swe-dish Library Act. The study is based on an analysis of the two Swedish library journals Biblioteksbladet and Tidskriften bis, and explores how the role and re-sponsibilities of libraries are constructed within professional discourse. Drawi

In this thesis, I examine the datafication of football through the lens of document theory. From this perspective, I view data as necessarily material, social and cognitive. The aim of the thesis is to (1) increase the understanding of how the intensified quantification of sport shapes fans’ interaction with it and (2) to bridge a gap between document theory, as a part of library and information s
