The rapidly increasing use of AI-chatbots creates ever evolving questions of privacy concerns in end users where they have to evaluate where the line is drawn between personalization and privacy intrusion. The conducted literature review highlights the complex landscape of privacy theories, privacy concerns and human-AI interactions. Using this as a guide, a qualitative study has been conducted on
Denna uppsats undersöker wellnesskulturen genom en netnografisk studie av that girl-trenden på TikTok. Syftet är att analysera vad som framställs som eftersträvansvärt inom trenden, hur dessa ideal konstrueras samt hur legitimitet etableras. Uppsatsen syftar dessutom till att analysera hur detta fenomen kan förstås i relation till samtida wellnesskultur. Analysen grundas i Talcott Parsons teori om
In a country with over fifty spoken languages and a truly multilingual society, the existence of a single official language to unify the people may appear natural. However, when that language is inherited from former colonisers and is spoken fluently by less than 40% of the population, its status becomes questionable. This study investigates the use of French and language attitudes among a small
This study examines whether a persistently undervalued real exchange rate dampens transformation pressure and thereby slows productivity growth in Sweden’s manufacturing sector, with particular focus on export-oriented industries. The analysis suggests that chronic currency undervaluation may weaken firms’ incentives to innovate and improve efficiency, even as it temporarily boosts export competit
The purpose of our study was to examine the attitude of police officers toward collaborating with social services in exit programs, with a specific focus on organizational conditions and the relationship between the authorities. The empirical data consisted of interviews with six police officers, three of whom are based in Malmö, Sweden. The other three were located in different local police distr
Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are central to modern healthcare, yet their practical impact on clinical workflows remains complex. This thesis explores the advantages and limitations physicians experience when using EHR systems in daily hospital work. Guided by the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) framework, the study takes a socio-technical approach, focusing on h
This thesis presents a comprehensive study of performance characterization and quality control (QC) for the ATLAS Inner Tracker (ITk) silicon strip modules, undertaken in preparation for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) upgrade. The work focuses on two aspects: test beam campaigns and thermal cycles. During the test beam campaigns at DESY in October and December 2024, unirradiate
Swedish social services and healthcare systems have been bound by law since 2010 to collaborate when a client requires multiple interventions. This is called a Coordinated Individual Plan (CIP) to prevent clients from being overlooked by healthcare and social services. There has since been published several official reports that highlight the shortcomings of CIP. Our aim of this study was to exami
Research question: In what way has Swedbank applied accounting communication surrounding the money laundering scandal and how has the communication developed and changed over time along the course of the event? Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine how Swedbank applied accounting communication in order to manage and rebuild their reputation in connection to the money laundering scandal
Climate disruption poses existential threats to place-based communities, fundamentally challenging their collective identity and imagined futures. Transformative resilience, the capacity to "bounce forward" through fundamental system reorganization, represents one pathway through this crisis. Yet, despite widespread recognition of its importance, existing frameworks lack concrete methods
More than half of the world's population today lives in urban areas, and the relationship between the city and the sea has always played a central role. Studies show that access to waterfront environments in port cities historically been limited, but as urban development progresses, the coastline is gaining increasing significance in the urban context. This presents both opportunities and chal
Quantum mechanical technologies often relies on the system being cooled to low temperatures. One way to achieve this is with measurement and feedback based cooling. In this thesis measurement and feedback on a quantum harmonic oscillator coupled to a thermal reservoir is considered. The Wiseman-Milburn equation is used with a linear feedback control to find the steady-state solutions for the first
This study examines how the natural world – earth, water, air, and animals – function in Jerome's Letter 108 (c. 404 CE) and the Piacenza Pilgrim's Itinerarium (c. 560-570 CE). Both late antique Christian pilgrimage narratives have been extensively analyzed for their political, architectural, and hagiographic dimensions. However, their ecological perspectives have been consistently overloo
Austenitic steels are one of the most used stainless steels due to their good properties such as high strength and corrosion properties making them suitable for a material making brazed heat exchangers. Under the brazing process of the heat exchangers, the austenitic steels are unavoidable heat treated by the brazing atmosphere. Which is why the brazing furnaces use an “inert” environment such as
Nepal is in the midst of a double energy transition aiming to improve energy reliability whilst simultaneously increasing renewables. We consider to what degree and in which ways young entrepreneurs contribute in shaping Nepal's transitory landscape as a group with social power. To assess this, we developed the Participation in Energy Transitions (PET) framework integrating Energy- Literacy an
This thesis examines how Israeli political actors discursively construct and delegitimize the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on the social media platform X between October 7, 2023, and January 29, 2025. Through a Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), this study examines how UNRWA is framed as a security threat, embedded within broader ideologi
This study examines how client-facing social workers experience work-related stress and how it affects their motivation and engagement in their jobs. Social work often includes high demands, emotional challenges, and limited resources, which can lead to stress and exhaustion. At the same time, many social workers remain motivated and committed to their work, which makes it important to understand
This research investigates the legal framework of the European Union (EU) in addressing trade-based sanctions evasion, with a specific focus on the role of private sector actors, specifically financial institutions and shipping companies. Trade misrepresentation — a rising method for moving illicit funds through techniques such as under-invoicing, over-invoicing, phantom shipments, complex corpora
This study employs large-scale Chinese pre-trained language models (BERT series) and the Fill-Mask Association Test (FMAT) to systematically measure gender- and age-based, as well as class-based, heterogeneity in marital status stereotypes embedded in natural language. Four sub-studies were designed to examine the effects of age (22–40 years), residence (urban vs. rural), and education (high vs. l
