Denna uppsats undersöker hur den initiala kriskommunikationen kring covid-19-pandemin visuellt ramades in i Sverige och Danmark under pandemins tidiga skede våren 2020. Med utgångspunkt i en kvalitativ, jämförande fallstudie analyseras hur Folkhälsomyndigheten och Sundhedsstyrelsen genom presskonferenser och infografiska Facebookvideor konstruerade mening, auktoritet och institutionell legitimitet
Hanna Geiger och Zoe Ravald har författat uppsatsen “Aloha som livsstil: Platser som inte passivt låter sig besökas av vem som helst” inom ämnet Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation vid Lunds Universitet. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka skärningspunkten mellan officiell statlig marknadsföring och influencerkommunikation och var dessa möts. Syftet är även att u
Uppsatsen undersöker hur radikalnationalism och alternativhögern konstrueras som extremism och (potentiellt) säkerhetshot i en statsnära experttext, CATS/FHS-rapporten Från Nordiska motståndsrörelsen till alternativhögern – samt hur denna inramning bemöts i ett alternativmedialt motnarrativ. Med Daniel C. Hallins sfärmodell som övergripande lins och kompletterande begrepp från säkerhetiseringsteorThis thesis examines how radical nationalism and the alt-right are constructed as extremism and as a (potential) security threat in a state-adjacent expert document—the CATS/FHS report From the Nordic Resistance Movement to the Alt-Right, and how this framing is contested in an alternative-media counter-narrative. The analysis uses Daniel C. Hallin’s sphere model as its main lens, complemented by
This study tests whether the Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis holds in Sweden when the private sector faces an intertemporal budget constraint skewed by the media narrative. Time series analysis of cointegrated vector autoregressive processes is utilized to identify Ricardian consumer behavior in three different models, in order to find differences in consumer behavior when media narrative bias is
Financial markets are subject to sudden changes in volatility, which can challenge standard option pricing models such as Black–Scholes. While the Black–Scholes model remains a widely used benchmark, its assumptions of constant volatility and continuous price movements may limit its performance during turbulent market conditions. This thesis examines whether the Merton jump–diffusion model provide
This paper examines how handheld fire screens, specifically those depicting operas or plays, can provide a visual narrative through its various visual elements depicted in their motives. The material in question depicts the Swedish opera Thetis och Pelée from 1773 and is today part of the Royal Collections Department at Drottningholm, serving as prime examples of lost and forgotten decorative arts
Malmö is one of the largest cities in Sweden. Its industrial past has left a mark on the buildings, now occupied by sophisticated offices for new entrepreneurial businesses (Baeten, 2012; Holgersen, 2014). This shift also has implications for the city's social class structure; this research aims to identify social mechanisms that drive the reconfiguration of social classes in Malmö. The purpo
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with neuroinflammation and microglial dysregulation. Galectin-3 (gal-3), a β-galactoside-binding protein expressed in microglia, has been identified as an upstream regulator of neuroinflammatory responses and is increasingly recognized as a potential therapeutic target in AD. This Master’s thesis focuses on the design
This thesis investigates whether integrating technical market data with fundamental accounting variables improves the out-of-sample predictability of stock returns in the highly liquid S&P 100 universe. Using an expanding window approach from 2010 to 2024, the study compares the performance of regularized linear (Ridge Regression) and non-linear (Histogram Gradient Boosting) estimators against
The labour market has become increasingly dynamic, characterised by technological change, greater job mobility and shifting employee expectations. As employees place growing importance on development, work environment and work-life balance, organisations face new challenges in retaining talent. One strategy to retain employees is internal employer branding. As engineers have good opportunities to
Studien undersöker hur kvinnlig agens och självständighet gestaltas genom karaktären Harley Quinn i filmen Suicide Squad (2016). Med utgångspunkt i bland annat feministisk filmteori, postfeminism och representationsteori analyseras filmens narrativa och visuella strukturer och hur dessa konstruerar kvinnlig subjektivitet. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i den återkommande populärkulturella tendensen
Introduction: Breast cancer remains a global public health priority, with increasing incidence and mortality among postmenopausal women. While high body mass index (BMI) and reproductive history are established risk factors, the interaction between BMI and cumulative reproductive exposure, measured as fertile years, has not been thoroughly investigated. This study investigated the independent and
To examine the“Mom-friendly Positions”(alsoknownas“MamaGang”)policy introduced in Zhongshan City in 2022,this study follows a Critical Realist perspective and employs a qualitative case study method,using in-depth interviews with middle-incom emothers and local policy officers.The policy aims to help mothers return to the work force by offering flexible working opportunities in response to demog
This thesis examines how changes in the Swedish policy rate affect sectoral stock returns in the banking, real estate, and service sectors during the period 2012–2024. Using monthly sector-level data and regression-based analysis, we study whether monetary policy has heterogeneous effects across sectors with differing financial structures and interest rate exposure. The analysis covers both the pr
Bakgrund: Lättare psykisk ohälsa, såsom depression och ångestsyndrom, utgör de vanligaste orsakerna till sjukskrivning i Sverige. Tillståndet påverkar ofta individens förmåga att reglera energi, prioritera aktiviteter och hantera krav i vardag och arbetsliv, vilket kan leda till en rubbad aktivitetsbalans. Trots detta är kunskapen om vilka faktorer som särskilt påverkar aktivitetsbalans vid sjuksk
Denna studie undersöker hur svenska investmentbolag kommunicerar värderingen av sina onoterade portföljbolag i årsredovisningen. Eftersom onoterade innehav saknar observerbara marknadspriser präglas värderingen av betydande osäkerhet och subjektiva bedömningar, vilket ställer höga krav på transparens och legitimitet i den externa redovisningskommunikationen. Studien genomförs som en kvalitativ innThis study examines how Swedish investment companies communicate the valuation of their unlisted portfolio companies in annual reports. As unlisted holdings lack observable market prices, valuation involves significant uncertainty and subjective judgment, placing high demands on transparency in external financial reporting. The study applies a qualitative content analysis of annual reports for the
Research question: To what extent do ROC, EBIT growth, leverage ratio and FCF margin explain variations in stock returns among the 50 largest companies listed on the Stockholm Exchange during the period 2014 - 2024. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the financial ratios ROC, EBIT growth, leverage ratio and FCF-margin and stock price development among the 50
In this thesis, we investigate the water-wave problem for two-dimensional steady waves with constant vorticity. We introduce a new approximate model that, in its simplest form, reduces to a planar dynamical system. We then analyze this system for various energy levels and vorticity constants, studying its phase portraits to determine the locations and types of solutions that arise. In the unidire
Traces of movement - a landscape archaeological study of a hollow way system in Genarp. Hollow ways constitute some of the most prominent traces of historical movement in the landscape. Despite their relatively common occurrence it is often difficult to interpret their function, social meaning and age. The aim of this essay is to investigate how a system of hollow ways situated in Genarp, Scania
