Syftet med studien är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur behovsanställda upplever tillhörighet på arbetsplatsen. Uppsatsen avser att belysa de faktorer som betraktas mest väsentliga för denna upplevelse, samt att synliggöra hur organisationer, utifrån medarbetarnas erfarenheter, kan arbeta för att främja och stärka känslan av tillhörighet. Uppsatsen utgår från en kvalitativ metod med en hermeneutisk
The deep ultraviolet (DUV) spectral region, from 200-400 nm, can reveal unique information about biological samples, where proteins and biomolecules exhibit distinct spectral signatures in this wavelength region. However, because of technical limitations, the absence of stable DUV light sources has left the research in this spectral range largely unexplored. Recent advancements in laser-driven pla
The purpose of this study was to examine and understand young people's expectations and perceptions of romantic relationships and their views on control and jealousy within them. The aim of this study was also to explore how young people understand control and jealousy in relation to psychological and digital violence. The study was based on a qualitative method, and seven semi-structured inte
This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and firm-level risk among publicly listed companies in the Nordic countries. While prior research suggests that ESG may reduce firm risk, evidence for the Nordic region remains limited despite its high sustainability standards. Using panel data on 380 firms from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finlan
Meningiomas are the most common primary tumors of the central nervous system and show clinical heterogeneity across WHO grades. While grade 1 meningiomas are typically benign, grade 3 (anaplastic) meningiomas are rare, highly aggressive, and associated with poor prognosis. Current histopathological grading does not fully capture tumor biology, therefore molecular approaches are needed to better re
Care recipients living with dementia face an increased risk of being subjected to domestic violence. However, a 2024 report by the Swedish Agency for Gender Equality indicates that this issue is insufficiently recognized within health and care services. In light of this, our study examines how professionals in these services identify and respond to domestic violence against individuals with dement
This study aims to explore how family therapists in social services perceive and describe quality in their work with family support, and how their experience and knowledge contribute to the quality of their practical work. The study was conducted through qualitative, semi-structured interviews with family therapists working within social services. The results reveal that professionals define quali
Rapid urbanisation has intensified socio-spatial inequalities in cities of the Global South, leading to the growth of informal settlements that remain excluded from formal planning systems. In India, this condition is increasingly evident in rapidly urbanising cities such as Coimbatore. This thesis investigates how sustainable urban design strategies can be employed to rehabilitate informal settle
This thesis investigates the ergotropy and usability of a certain quantum battery. The ergotropy is the maximum extractable energy of a cyclic process. First, the battery from a previous thesis is recreated and then this battery is investigated in terms of its ergotropy. The battery is proven to not only be charging but also have an equal increase in ergotropy, hence all of the charged energy is u
This thesis interrogates how the state-led “counterterrorism” and tourism-development discourses operate as complementary technologies of the state’s governance in Xinjiang. Drawing on Foucault’s power/knowledge and biopolitics theory, it examines how these discourses produce the “truth” of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, and how these “truths” jointly operate in facilitating the state’s governance agai
Trots en generell och tydlig minskning av ungdomsbrottsligheten sedan 1990-talet har ungdomsbrottslighet och framförallt ungdomsvåld blivit en viktig samhällsfråga idag. Denna studie tar avstamp i strainteorin som kompletteras med social inlärningsteori för att undersöka ungdomars våldsbrotts relation till ekonomiska problem samt kamraters brottslighet. Syftet är att undersöka hur ungdomars upplev
This thesis examines how participant-made banners from the Strajk Kobiet protests in Poland re-appropriated national and religious symbols to challenge cultural narratives and offer alternative visions of Polishness and womanhood. Set against democratic backsliding and a strong state–Church alliance, the study focuses on five photographs from the Archive of Public Protests, selected for their enga
This comparative study, which includes narrative, rhetoric, and reception analyses of two films depicting the current war in Ukraine—Bucha and 20 Days in Mariupol—explores the differences in how these films are received by various parties involved in the conflict, specifically Ukraine and russia, as well as by other countries affected by the war. The paper also features a chapter on the russian pr
Forskning visar att det i flera organisationer råder en osäkerhet kring HR-funktionens roll. Hur detta påverkar HR-praktiker är ett område som är relativt mindre utforskat. Syftet med denna uppsats är således att fördjupa kunskapen om HR-funktionen genom att undersöka hur HR-praktiker uppfattar sin roll, funktion och arbetstrivsel, samt vad de anser som centralt i sitt arbete. Vidare syftar studie
Genom en netnografisk studie bestående av 17 inlägg och tillhörande diskussionstrådar på Reddit-forumet r/MyBoyfriendisAI, undersöker följande uppsats romantiska relationer mellan människor och Artificiell Intelligens. Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska dessa AI-relationer från ett sociologiskt perspektiv och därmed bidra till forskning som hittills har förklarats med psykologiska teorier. Ef
Hybrid detectors, consisting of semiconductor sensors bonded to a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are widely used for single-photon detection in photon science and high-energy physics. The Timepix3 readout chip provides precise Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements, making it a valuable tool for sensor characterization. This thesis presents the
Journalistbranschen är präglad av prekära anställningar där bland annat arbetsgivarna anställer systematiskt enligt Lagen om anställningsskydd genom så kallade in-och utlasningar. Dessa används genom skapandet av korttidskontrakt i syfte att undvika tillsvidareanställningar. Sämre allmänhälsa, oförmågan att planera en framtid och en instabil ekonomi är några aspekter som framkommit som konsekvenseThe journalism industry is characterized by precarious forms of employment, and employers systematically hire in accordance with the Employment Protection Law (Lagen om anställningsskydd) through so-called “in-och utlasning” a practice by which employers, with the aim of avoiding permanent employment, create short-term contracts. Bad general health, difficulties in planning the future and economic
Urbanization and densification place increasing demands on human mental capacity, making access to restorative environments in the city increasingly important. This bachelor's thesis investigates how the City of Stockholm plans for green structure as a resource for residents' mental health and recovery, and how strategies for this have changed between 2006 and 2017. The purpose is to highl
Acoustophoresis enables label-free separation of particles and cells in microfluidic sys- tems, but systematic methods for analysing and comparing separation behaviour re- main limited. In this thesis, a workflow based on the mobility ratio was evaluated as an experimental framework for characterising acoustophoretic separations, using flow cytometry as the analytical tool. Separation experiments
This thesis investigated the use of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for image restoration of fingerprint images, focusing on the reconstruction from raw sensor images to denoised fingerprint images, suitable for matching. Fingerprint images from sensors often introduce noise and artifacts that inhibit the matching process. The goal was to develop a CNN-based approach capable of removing artif
