This bachelor thesis examines how Sámi women and queer Sámi people's vulnerabilization is constructed through an indigenous feminist and western politics discourse in the report called Violence against Sámi women (Våld mot samiska kvinnor). By using critical discourse analysis and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the thesis shows that the report constructs Sámi women's vulnerabilizati

Vehicles equipped with sensors can participate in mobile crowdsourcing applications. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANETs) based on Dedicated Short Range Communication (DSRC) are used to carry sensing data. However, multi-hop transmissions for gathering data to Road Side Units (RSUs) in VANETs suffer from low data rate and long end-to-end delay, which can hardly meet the QoS requirements of delay-senVehicles equipped with sensors can participate inmobile crowdsourcing applications.

The purpose of this thesis is to problematize how Swedish migration policy is being legitimized. The study examines discourses in debates about migration between the Moderate Party and the Swedish Social Democratic Party. There are two major areas of interest: firstly, their discussions about the change in migration policies in 2015 and 2016, and secondly, their articulations of the unaccompanied

In order to grow, the founder must go. This is the conventional wisdom which states that when entrepreneurial firms enter a stage of rapid growth the new business quickly surpasses the skills and capacity of the founder. In this phase of rapid growth this paper aims to understand how entrepreneurs perceive their role as founder CEO as their company grows, and what impact this has on their “decisio

Susceptibility Weighted Imaging is an MRI- and post-processing technique that utilize the phase information from the MR signal to enhance the contrast in areas with different susceptibility than surrounding tissue in T2*-weighted images. This technique is becoming more and more important as a clinical tool. Susceptibility-weighted imaging has been commercialized by Siemens Healthcare under the acr

The European Energy production system is in transition towards renewable energy sources (RES). Concrete targets have been set through the European Union “Energy Roadmap 2050”. The transition has started by national states but concrete action towards the targets has been mainly taken up at a local level. In this context, this research work aims at exploring how can a community trigger and drive an

The focus of this thesis is the myths and ideologies inscribed into the aesthetics, narratives and gameplay of post-apocalyptic videogames. The aim is to discuss how the conditions and conventions of the game medium shape what is presented to us as a modern, secular form of apocalypticism. The case studies presented are the two well-known videogames Fallout 4 and The Last Of Us. The research focus

Small scale renewable energy systems (SSRES) serve as a potential solution to decrease energy poverty, increase water and food security, and a potential climate change adaptation (CCA) strategy. This thesis investigates the diffusion of such systems amongst indigenous Wayuu communities in La Guajira, Colombia, through Roger's Diffusion Theory. Subsequently, a Water-Energy-Food Security Nexus a

Price stability has become an increasingly important target of policy makers. However, the debate on the effects of inflation and economic growth is by no means settled. It is generally agreed that inflation uncertainty harms growth, however, a common challenge in inflation-growth studies lies in the difficulty to separate the effects of inflation rates from inflation volatility. Using inflation r

Thesis purpose: The central purpose is to deliver a theoretical and practical contribution to existing literature in the fields of brand identity as well as brand reputation and particularly brand communication as a connecting link, lying in between. Further, the authors attempt to provide thorough understanding of the influence of online brand communication on consumers’ decision-making process r
