Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with
This study examines the recent legislative referral by Sweden's right-wing Government, which advocates for the expanded use of covert coercive measures (CCM) to combat organized crime. By analyzing the discourse within the referral using Carol Bacchis “What's the problem represented to be” - method, the study critically examines the portrayal of CCM and highlights the Government's fail
This master's thesis aims to analyze how bordering, solidarity and grievability are expressed in the participants' commitment with detainees in detention. Furthermore, the essay captures stories about everyday experiences of what it means to be involved in non-profit organizations or activist networks that are active in Swedish detention centers. It is of interest to study how the deprivat
Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Pleurotus ostreatus, Trametes versicolor and Bjerkandera sp. BOL13 were tested for their ability to degrade the endocrine-disrupting compound nonylphenol at an initial concentration of 100 mg l–1. The highest removals were achieved with T. versicolor and Bjerkandera sp. BOL13, which were able to degrade 97 mg l–1 and 99 mg l–1 of nonylphenol in 25 days of incubation, r
As climate change intensifies, coastal cities face increasing flooding risks that threaten housing markets and urban infrastructure. This thesis examines whether these risks are reflected in property prices in Malmö, Sweden – a city identified as highly vulnerable to future coastal flooding. Using a hedonic pricing model combining GIS data and detailed property sales data from 2024, we investigate
In this thesis we employ the method of eigenfamilies in order to construct explicit examples of complete minimal submanifolds in the classical non-compact Riemannian symmetric spaces $$\SLR n/\SO(n),\ \Sp(n,\R)/\UU(n),\ \SO^*(2n)/\UU(n),\ \SU^*(2n)/\Sp(n).$$ In each case, we produce a multidimensional parametrized family of complete minimal submanifolds of codimension two. The results form a conti
Background: Personalization has become an essential tool of video streaming platforms, influencing how users discover and consume content. In highly saturated streaming markets, characterized by extensive content libraries and low switching barriers, personalization systems gain increasing relevance in enhancing customers’ experiences and satisfaction. Purpose: This study aims to explore how per

This study uses a novel approach to identifying local contextual conditions conducive, alone or in combination to far-right political violence. The studied case is asylum housing attacks occurring in Sweden 2015-16. Using a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis of eighty-six Swedish municipalities, forty-two of which have experienced arson attacks against refugee housing facilities, we operat
This work evaluates the effects of static and cyclic loading conditions on the stress corrosion process in unidirectional glass/modified polyester composite in the presence of a nitric acid solution. The composites were investigated under static, cyclic, and static with overload conditions using a rectangular specimen with centrally positioned grooves. The stress corrosion process was monitored us
Slaughter transportation of pigs can be considered a high-risk occupation, but has received very little scientific attention. We investigated the effect of a training intervention on transport drivers’ physical workload, in terms of postures and movements, and time efficiency during loading of finishing pigs for slaughter transport. The training targeted pig handling and ergonomic working principl
Thin films (less than 40 Å) of quaterthiophene (4T) were vapour deposited onto a Ag(111) surface under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) and were investigated concerning their geometrical structure and photoluminescence (PL) properties by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) and optical spectroscopy, respectively. Two different structural phases (α and β) were observed, which exhibit high structural order,
This study utilizes a panel data of 69 developing and developed countries to analyze the impacts of Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) on the innovation outcomes of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. The panel analysis is assisted with detailed observations on successful cases that have achieved impressive innovation outcomes over the years, in or

The first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China and has become a public health emergency of international concern. Several countries have issued comprehensive social distancing policies responses to the pandemic. This study was performed in an attempt to understand the impact of a lockdown on COVID-19 cases through a case study in Scandinavia. A validated database was used to origi
This thesis investigates the influence of country-specific political risk on credit default swap spreads. The research includes a sample of 30 companies over a time period of more than 13 years. The companies are divided into two sets of sub-groups, dependent on whether they are banks or not and which country they are based in. The hypothesis is that banks should be more influenced by political ri
This paper aims to answer the following research question: “To what degree do informal institutions influence the business strategy of developed multinational enterprises in China?” By using the comparison of existing literature and two primary interviews from strategic professionals, we were able to discover the most important factors for DMNEs to consider when entering China. The Uppsala Mode
Social media workers have become an important communication profession within the organisational context. However, workers behind organisational social media accounts remain understudied. This study problematises the limited emphasis of existing research on the self-perceptions of communication practitioners and introduces the perspective of social media workers. The purpose of this study is to ex
Inequality has been growing in Thailand, but the consequence of inequality, intergenerational social mobility has not been studied. This research aims to provide contemporary study of intergenerational occupational mobility in Thailand during 1997-2017, and provide the first time three generations mobility by employing Townsend Thai panel data. This research employs EGP class schema for classifica
Deliberate and systematic destruction of cultural, historical and religious sites was an integral part of the ethnic cleansing policy used by the Serbian separatist forces in Bosnia and Hercegovina during the war between 1992 and 1995. In this essay I discuss deliberate and systematic destruction as a way of “killing memory” in a process of creating new Serbian national identity. In a society such
