In this thesis, I examine the datafication of football through the lens of document theory. From this perspective, I view data as necessarily material, social and cognitive. The aim of the thesis is to (1) increase the understanding of how the intensified quantification of sport shapes fans’ interaction with it and (2) to bridge a gap between document theory, as a part of library and information s
The academic librarian’s mission of facilitating free access to knowledge has endured even as forms of librarianship have evolved. Since the introduction of the internet and the subsequent shift from physical to digital knowledge dissemination, additional ethical and practical considerations have emerged. One such consideration is the existence of black open access and shadow libraries, born out o
On November 26, 2025, a fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court, a densely populated residential complex in Tai Po, Hong Kong, eventually claiming 168 lives. As official emergency systems were overwhelmed, volunteers created a parallel digital coordination effort of remarkable scale: a Google Spreadsheet listing residents and pets, a Telegram group of over 18,000 members maintaining text-format missing p
Denna studie analyserar upplevelser och erfarenheter av tillgänglighet och möjligheten till delaktighet på olika former av mötesplatser för personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder. Analysen har haft sin utgångspunkt i Axel Honneths teori om erkännande för att belysa aspekter av möjligheter och förklaringar som ligger utanför individen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och har gjorts genom å
Sverige står inför rättsliga utmaningar i takt med en växande gängkriminalitet där allt yngre barn rekryteras för att utföra brott kopplade till narkotika, vapen och våld. Således förväntas en sänkt straffbarhetsålder, från 15 år till 13 år, träda i kraft i juli 2026, vilket innebär att fler minderåriga kommer häktas. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur kriminalvårdare, utifrån sitt handlingsutr
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
The role of diversity for the stability of ecosystems is a field traditionally focused on species diversity, rather than diversity within species. This study concerns the latter by investigating the spatial and temporal synchrony and abundance trends within the metapopulation of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scania, Sweden, that are brought up in different nursey streams but share the sam
This thesis studies the pricing of overnight indexed swap (OIS) caps using a one-factor CIR++ short-rate model with piecewise constant volatility. The model combines a CIR process with a deterministic shift, allowing an exact fit to the initial zero-coupon term structure and thereby enabling the remaining CIR parameters to be calibrated to other market instruments. OIS caplets are priced using Lap
Studien ämnar undersöka hur konspirationsteorier konstrueras, omformas och upprätthålls genom interaktioner på onlineforumet Reddit med inriktning på diskursen kring Jeffrey Epstein. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur konspirationsteorier interaktionellt utvecklas genom plattformens användare. Studien utgår från ett interaktionistiskt och kunskapssociologiskt perspektiv där konspirationsteorier fö
Medan autonom AI och AI-agenter inte är en ny idé är dess konsekvenser på längre sikt okända utifrån påverkan på företag och människors arbete. Trots framtidens inbyggda osäkerhet ökar trycket på företagsledare att redan idag besluta om AI-investeringar samtidigt som ledande narrativ inom ämnet ofta har en utopisk eller dystopisk lutning. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur AI-agenter pre
Peptide therapeutics offer advantages in specificity and affinity, yet the potential propensity to self-associate and aggregate poses a challenge for the development of stable oral formulations. This master’s thesis evaluates the utility of the fluorescent dye Thioflavin T as a structural probe to monitor the aggregation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, specifically Liraglutide and Se
Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Betong är ett mycket vanligt förekommande byggmaterial som har flera styrkor, men också några svagheter. En av de väsentligaste svagheterna är de betydande koldioxidutsläpp som uppstår vid tillverkningen av det nödvändiga bindemedlet portlandcement. Att ersätta delar av portlandcementet med alternativa bindemedel är den mest effektiva och snabbaste insatsen för att minska betongens klimatpåverConcrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, offering several advantages but also presenting certain limitations. One of its most significant drawbacks is the substantial carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of Portland cement, the essential binder in concrete. Replacing portions of Portland cement with alternative binders is considered the most effective
Diabetes, characterized by high blood glucose due to β-cell dysfunction, remains one of the most common chronic diseases in the world. A promising method for diabetes research is nanoelectroporation using nanostraws and nanopores, which enables controlled delivery of molecular cargo into β-cells for genetic and epigenetic manipulation. However, most studies rely on 2D β-cell cultures, which limits
Trots att jobbannonser ofta utgör det första intrycket av en organisation, används de sällan som ett strategiskt kommunikationsverktyg. Tidigare forskning har till största del fokuserat på kandidaters uppfattning kring organisationers attraktivitet, medan den här studien intar ett avsändarperspektiv och undersöker spänningen mellan organisationers strategiska employer branding och LinkedIns plattfAlthough job advertisements often provide the first impression of an organization, they are rarely treated as a strategic communication tool. Previous research has largely focused on the candidates’ perception of how attractive organizations are, while this study takes on a sender perspective and examines the tension between organizations’ strategic employer branding and LinkedIn’s platform logic
Studien undersökte sambandet mellan upplevt grupptryck i arbetsrelaterade sammanhang och arbetstagande studenters benägenhet att uttrycka avvikande åsikter. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign tillämpades med en online-enkät som empirisk datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet bestod av arbetstagande universitetsstudenter i Sverige, och datainsamlingen genererade 116 svar. Resultatet indikerade en positiv signifThe study explored peer pressure in an organizational context, and how it relates to the individual's tendency to express deviant opinions. The correlation was examined using a quantitative cross-sectional design, along with a digital survey to gather data. The sample consisted of employed university students in Sweden, and the survey generated 116 responses. The results implied a significant
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how digital transformation (DT) and its rapid development have affected corporations’ experience of horizontal organizational resistance to digital change. The study builds on qualitative semi-structured interviews and applies an abductive approach and a social constructionist perspective. The findings suggest horizontal resistance is prominently affecting
Research question: How do employees adapt to, negotiate, and work around digital monitoring systems in their everyday work practices? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how hourly employees within a fitness organization perceive and respond to digital surveillance and algorithmic management, specifically analyzing how these systems shape experiences of autonomy, stress, and c
Generative AI (GenAI) tools have seen rapid adoption in software development teams, yet research has focused almost exclusively on individual-level outcomes such as productivity and task completion speed. The consequences for how teams coordinate expertise remain unexplored. This study examines what the affordances and constraints of GenAI tools are for software development teams and how they inte
