Music criticism has grown to become an important part of the modern cultural landscape, functioning as a mediating link between artistic expression and the audience. By evaluating music, journalists are in a position of symbolic power. Reviews are based on a subjective perspective but gain legitimacy through social and cultural frameworks. This raises a critical question: what happens when the soc

In the last ten years labor economists have become increasingly interested in convex earnings structures in the labor market and their impact on the gender pay gap, an approach spearheaded by Claudia Goldin in her 2014 Presidential Address to the American Economic Association. The study has seen widespread acclaim, but very little replication. This study replicates parts of Claudia Goldin’s work,

I takt med digitaliseringens frammarsch har allt fler delar av våra liv integrerats med digitala plattformar av diverse slag, genom vår användning av sociala medier, sökmotorer, prisjämförelseverktyg m.fl. Att detta påverkar vår vardag kan knappast låta häpnadsväckande – så pass vardagliga är dessa plattformar att vi kanske inte tänker något särskilt på vilka appar som är förinstallerade på våra tAs digitization advances, more and more parts of our lives have been integrated with digital platforms of various kinds, through our use of social media, search engines, price comparison tools, and various other services. That this affects our everyday life can hardly sound surprising – these platforms are so commonplace that we may not give much thought to which apps are pre-installed on our phon

Sverige rankas idag allt som oftast som ett av världens mest sekulariserade länder. Vägen hit har dock inneburit en av de mest omfattande reformerna i modern tid. Genom religionsfrihetslagen år 1951 tillförsäkrades var och en rätten att fritt utöva sin religion och med anledning av detta påbörjades ett närmare 50 år långt utredningsarbete i syfte att klarlägga framtiden för samarbetet mellan stateSweden is consistently seen as being one of the most secularized countries in the world. Achieving this status, however, has required one of the most extensive reforms in modern time. With the enactment of the 1951 law for religious freedom every person was granted the right to freely express their religious beliefs, and due to this a nearly 50 year long investigation begun with the intent of clar

This thesis investigates the behaviour of an active dynamic filtering (ADF) system connected to an unknown electrical grid and suggests how to use control theory to reach desired requirements. The ADF system, which is based on a product by Comsys AB, consists of a PI controller and a low pass filter. The main part of this work was focused on developing methods for system identification by finding

The thesis investigates how employees in the anti-money laundering departments of Sweden's four major banks perceive the impact of bank secrecy on their ability to combat money laundering. Through an analysis of the results from a survey study, the thesis aims to provide insight into whether bank secrecy effectively balances anti-money laundering legislation or if there is a need for greater i

Byggsektorn står för en stor del av Sveriges klimatutsläpp och har som mål att till 2045 bli klimatneutral. För att klara detta mål krävs bland annat förändringar i materialanvändning, till exempel kan materialet betong i flera fall bytas ut mot KL-trä. KL-trä används idag som stommaterial och monteras ofta utan väderskydd med resultatet att vatten i form av nederbörd hamnar i springor och spalterTo reach Sweden's climate goals changes in the use of materials are required. Concrete can in several cases be replaced with Cross-Laminated Timber, or CLT, as framework material. Today CLT is often installed without weather protection, with the result of water ending up in cracks and joints that are difficult to cover. Based on today’s knowledge there is great uncertainty about what condition

PAPR Credentials is the name of a not yet published credential scheme that provides conditional privacy for its users. This means that an administrator can choose to revoke a user's anonymity. Doing so, however, the administrator must broadcast her intention, as the success of the privacy revocation depends on the help of other users, since the administrator does not have access to sufficient

The sociotechnical systems that present societies operate within fail to address sustainability which contributes to the exacerbation of environmental, societal, and economic injustices. Sustainable innovations are considered a potential solution pathway. Nevertheless, to have large scale impact, they need to commercialize successfully. Scholars agree that sustainable business models are essential

An evaluative neutralisation process, whereby questionnaire items are phrased to be less evaluative, was used to create a new less socially desirable version of the social dominance orientation scale (SDO7). The main goal is to counteract the persistent floor effect which has affected the scale since its inception. The rationale behind the suggested correction is rooted with the problem of social

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how a brand’s packaging design becomes iconic through entering pop culture/art. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is of qualitative nature, based on a traditional literature review along with multiple case-study research. This approach allows for deep analysis into the dimensions of iconic packaging. Finally, template analysis was made to

Polyhydroxybutyrate-co-valerate (PHBV), a biodegradable biopolymer, holds promise as a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics. In this study, PHBV was biosynthesized and extracted, followed by an extensive evaluation of various downstream purification methods focusing on surfactant-based washing protocols. Different conditions of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) washing varying in temper

Chemical waste from industrial processes poses a significant environmental challenge, often resulting from inefficient synthetic routes that involve excess reagents and ineffective methods. The principles of atom and step economy have become central to modern synthetic strategies, aiming to minimize waste and maximize molecular efficiency. In this context, photo-redox catalysis has emerged as a co

I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the

Methods for synthesis of peptides using solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) are hampered by relying on large amounts of hazardous substances such as dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent for peptide assembly and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) a per/polyfluoroalkyl substance (PFAS) as reagent/solvent for side chain protecting group (PG) removal and peptide resin cleavage. Advances have been made towards
