This thesis evaluates whether Thailand’s EV industrial policies, EV 3.0 and EV 3.5, have supported domestic industrial upgrading or reorganised foreign dependency under new technological conditions. It develops a framework combining global value chain governance theory, leapfrogging theory and product cycle theory, operationalised through four diagnostic conditions: lead firm control, knowledge tr
This thesis explores experiences of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and receiving medical treatment for it. Adopting a material-discursive intrapsychic model of thought, the participants' depictions are analyzed through objects, discourses, emotions and internal value systems in order to give various perspectives on PMS as well as contextualize the complex relationship between individual, group, a
Denna studie undersöker vilka cybersäkerhetsspänningar och tekniska utmaningar som uppstår vid upphandling och implementering av digitala tvillingar inom svensk VA-sektor. Studien fokuserar särskilt på hur cybersäkerhetskrav omsätts i praktiken samt hur relationen mellan VA-organisationer och externa leverantörer påverkar möjligheten att uppnå en tillräcklig cybersäkerhetsnivå. För att besvara stu
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made, highly persistent and mobile compounds that have been extensively used in decades, for example as a fire repellent in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They have been detected in soil, surface water and groundwater, where they pose risks to human health through contamination of drinking water supplies and to ecosystems. In this case study, PFAS spread
Studien undersöker hur unga nyexaminerade kvinnor upplever den första tiden i arbetslivet med fokus på trygghet och bemötande. Bakgrunden till studien är att nypublicerad forskning visar att unga kvinnor i Sverige mår allt sämre, särskilt när det gäller psykisk hälsa, stress och ensamhet. Stressrelaterade sjukskrivningar har ökat och kvinnor drabbas i högre grad än män. Samtidigt beskrivs övergång
Total evapotranspiration (ET) trends remain highly consistent across FLUXCOM-X-BASE and GLEAM v4.2a, indicating a robust growing-season ET change in northern high latitudes. However, the mechanisms behind this change are less consistent than the total flux suggests. This thesis examines whether vegetation greening explains ET changes, whether ET components compensate for one another, and whether d
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker vilka faktorer som påverkar studenters delning av personlig information på sociala medier samt hur dessa beteenden kan förstås genom Privacy Calculus Theory (PCT), Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), och Privacy Paradox. Syftet är att skapa ökad förståelse för hur upplevda fördelar, nackdelar, integritetstankar, och skyddsrelaterade faktorer påverkar studenters del
Building Information Modelling (BIM) in recent times has become an important tool in the building construction sector. BIM provides collaboration and information exchange for BIM-programs, however this is not flawfree, BIM interoperability is still a challenge especially during design phases in a project. This study has a purpose to identify the challenges in BIM-interoperability as well as findin
Mot bakgrund av det historiskt låga barnafödsantalet i Sverige och den diskussion som omger detta, intresserar sig studien för hur barnfria individer, särskilt kvinnor, upplever att de blir bemötta i relation till pronatalistiska normer. Vidare ökar i samband med det sjunkande barnantalet, även uppmärksammandet av de som inte vill ha barn, det vill säga barnfria. Studien syftar därmed till att und
While the British Empire is no longer a political reality, it continues to shape the organization of British state institutions, including the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO). As people with ethnic heritage from formerly colonized countries enter the British diplomatic service, they occupy the unique position of representing the state that colonized their ancestors. Existing l
Organizations increasingly use Self-Service Business Intelligence (SSBI) to democratize access to data and analytics. While this enables greater analytical autonomy for business users, it also creates situations where different dashboards and reports present conflicting analytical outputs. This study investigates how business users validate such conflicts in practice, as well as the counterintuiti
The observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe suggests the existence of baryon number violating processes beyond what is present in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The HIBEAM programme is a proposed experiment at the European Spallation Source (ESS) that investigates baryon-number violation through neutron-antineutron oscillations. Of specific interest to this work is the proces
The following thesis engages critically with the incorporation of a parallel digital platform alongside REKO Åland, a self-organized alternative food network operating primarily through Facebook, and how such addition of digital infrastructure reconfigures the network’s organizational boundaries. REKO’s grassroot coordination is constituted through direct producer–consumer exchange of local food,
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is essential for power electronic converters to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI). Traditional post-design EMC testing is costly and time-consuming, motivating a shift toward model-based EMC (MB-EMC) with proactive EMI prediction. This thesis develops a simulation methodology for conducted emissions from an IGBT-based three-phase voltage source converte
This study investigates the relationship between students’ perceived confidence in handling phishing emails and their responses to simulated phishing attempts, with a particular focus on differences between IT and non-IT students. Using a primarily quantitative survey consisting of seven simulated email scenarios, the study examines how students distinguish between legitimate and potentially malic
Electron-lattice interactions play a large role in determining physical properties of crystalline solids, such as electrical resistance and superconductivity. Properties like these are not only of theoretical interest, but also of practical importance when designing new materials. A key quantity describing these interactions is the electron-phonon coupling, which links atomic displacement to chang
This thesis analyses how the Austrian humanitarian and developmental organisation Hilfswerk International discursively legitimates its involvement in border externalisation and containment practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Western Balkans. Whilst previous scholarship has thematised the confluence of humanitarian principles, borderwork, and “migration management”, insufficient attention h
This thesis investigates whether the unilateral credit valuation adjustment (CVA) of plain-vanilla interest rate swap portfolios can be approximated accurately using a pre- computed library of basis-swap CVAs, avoiding the cost of full Monte Carlo revaluation. The approximation is constructed to require only a yield curve, a swaption volatility surface, and counterparty CDS spreads as inputs. The
