Syftet med studien är att förstå hur de senaste decenniernas förändrade familjeformer, förståelsen för vad en familj är och teknologisk utveckling skapat nya vägar till föräldraskap. Forskning visar att barnafödandet minskar i västvärlden, samtidigt som nya alternativa familjekonstellationer uppkommer. En av dessa grupper är ensamstående mammor som väljer att skaffa barn på egen hand genom assiste
This quantitative study aims to examine how age- and gender-coded language in recruitment advertisements influences identification, perceived inclusion, and the willingness to apply among different age and gender groups. Using sociological perspectives, the study explores how language functions as a carrier of norms and stereotypes, reproducing social categories and expectations within the labor m
During start-up of tablet presses in pharmaceutical manufacturing, multiple weight adjustments are often required before the tablet weight falls within acceptable limits. This leads to delayed production and a waste of material. The aim of this work was to develop a predictive model to reduce the number of adjustments during start-ups and thereby reduce the amount of rejected material. A linear r
Sprickbildning har observerats på vissa delsträckor av E6 och E45 i Västra Götalands län, Sverige, trots liknande trafikförhållanden och beläggningskonstruktioner. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka möjliga materialrelaterade faktorer som bidrar till sprickbildning i asfaltbeläggningar. Historiska kvalitetskontrolldata, projektdokumentation och nya fältundersökningar användes för att jämförCracking has been observed on certain sections of the E6 and E45 highways in Västra Götaland County, Sweden, despite similar traffic conditions and pavement structures. The purpose of this study was to investigate possible material related factors contributing to asphalt pavement cracking. Historical quality control data, project documentation and new field investigations were used to compare crac
n modern telecommunications, the ever increasing demands on signal bandwidth with the adoption of Millimeter Wave (mm-W) frequency bands for the Fifth-Generation (5G) standard make ensuring Power Amplifier (PA) linearity, while maintaining efficiency, a major challenge in the design of Transmitter (TX) circuits. As Digital Pre- Distortion (DPD) linearizers become too power hungry for wide-band app
AI integration is reshaping organizational work, however its success depends less on technical capability than on the cultural context into which it is introduced. This comparative case study examines how organizational culture and AI interact to shape organizational routines at two large Swedish organizations with distinct cultural profiles: IKEA, with its people-first, values-driven identity, an
Integrating sustainability into the core business strategy remains a significant challenge faced by many companies. This study explores how an integrated sustainability strategy (ISS) unfolds by examining the organizational and cross-functional conditions that enable or constrain the implementation, the operational tensions that emerge along this process, and the dynamic managerial capabilities (D
This study investigates how candidates perceive and experience artificial intelligence-driven recruitment processes, and how these experiences shape their broader impressions of hiring organizations. Drawing on 11 semi-structured interviews with individuals from diverse professional backgrounds who had firsthand experience with AI-assisted recruitment, the research adopts a qualitative, abductive
Global sourcing increasingly takes place in a politically unstable environment where supplier relationships are shaped by traditional factors like cost and operational performance, but also by geopolitical uncertainty. While existing literature has examined broad supply chain responses to geopolitical disruption, limited attention has been given to how sourcing professionals reason and respond at
Startups often rely on business networks to access resources, knowledge, and opportunities. While business incubators have been widely recognized as network facilitators, limited attention has been directed to how industry-specific incubators support network access within particular industry contexts. To address this gap, this study aims to enhance the understanding of how industry-specific incuba
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, affecting an estimated 59.7 million people and imposing a growing burden on public healthcare systems. AF is characterized by a rapid and irregular heart rate. Specifically, understanding how rate-control therapies affect RR-interval variability and irregularity is essential for optimizing treatment. Accurate and reliable he
The present study extends the scope of the grammatical aspect approach to motion event cognition research by investigating how Croatian speakers of English encode and conceptualise motion events. Even though both Croatian and English have a grammatical category of aspect, the findings suggest that intratypological variation plays an important role in how participants construed goal-oriented motion
Acoustophoresis, the manipulation of microscopic particles by acoustic forces, has found growing use in biomedical applications ranging from blood-cell separation to single-cell positioning in microfluidic chips [1,2,3,4]. Existing multimodal control algorithms for such devices were developed under the assumption that particles do not influence one another. This simplification holds when only one
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disorder, which gradually breaks down cartilage and underlying bone. The disorder is commonly present in the hip joint, where it can cause anatomical changes that may result in painful movement. Early identification of osteoarthritis may facilitate treatment for slowing the disease progression. This master’s thesis aimed to develop a pipeline for applying su
Denna studie undersöker det relativt unga forskningsfältet manosfären utifrån en rad infallsvinklar: vad som motiverar män att ansluta till den radikala rörelsen, vad manosfären erbjuder sina anhängare, vilket budskap samt vilka ideal som förmedlas och slutligen vilka faktorer som leder till att vissa män lämnar onlinegemenskapen. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ metod och använder sig av empirisk
A key limitation of current hearing devices is the lack of user feedback to determine what speech content is actually being registered by the brain. To provide an objective measure of this cognitive processing for future brain-steered hearing devices, this study develops a brain-to-language model capable of decoding semantic-like information directly from non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG)
People form part of the biosphere - the biosphere being the whole intertwined network of life on Earth. While there is convergence on the need for societal change for just sustainability and a healthy biosphere, the pathways to achieve these transformations remain relatively unclear. Through legal interpretation, conceptual and thematic analysis of academic and grey literature, we seek to answer t
Denna avhandling undersöker hur legitimiteten i Europeiska Unionens (EU) stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet bör bedömas och hävdas mot bakgrund av ytterhögerns främjande av en konkurrerande vision för europeiskt samarbete som är rotad i anti-genderpolitik. Med utgångspunkt i agonistisk och queer-teori konceptualiseras EU:s stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet som ett försök att skapa en europeisk pro-LGBTIQ-konsensusThis dissertation examines how the legitimacy of the European Union’s (EU) support for LGBTIQ equality should be assessed and asserted amid the far right’s promotion of a rival vision for European cooperation rooted in anti-gender politics. Drawing on agonistic and queer theory, the EU’s support for LGBTIQ equality is conceptualised as an effort to forge a European pro-LGBTIQ consensus, termed sex
