The rise of the internet, social media, and populist leaders in recent years has turned attention towards conspiracy theories, making them appear as phenomena which are becoming increasingly widespread. Although conspiracy beliefs have not necessarily increased over time, their growing visibility has emphasized the negative consequences associated with belief in them, such as heightened political

This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process

The Azerbaijani city of Shusha stands out as an exemplary place for reconstruction based on the principles of sustainable development in the post-conflict era. This research examines the city of Shusha’s aim of building a sustainable city model from scratch and focuses on two major directions: the transition to solar-based systems in the city’s energy supply and the establishment of a clean transp

I den här studien undersöks hur fem musiklärare som är, eller har varit, verksamma i anpassad grundskola beskriver hur de arbetar med musikalisk kunskapsutveckling, delaktighet och måluppfyllelse. Undersökningen baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer och hela arbetet vilar på socialkonstruktivismen som vetenskapsteori. Ämnesvalet grundar sig i en nyfikenhet kring hur vi som framtida lärare kan arThis study investigates how five music teachers that are, or have been, working in Swedish compulsory school for pupils with intellectual disabilities describe how they are working with development of musical knowledge, inclusion and goal attainment. The study is conducted by using semistructured interviews and is grounded in social constructivism as its scientific theoretical framework. The selec

This thesis explores how electroencephalography (EEG) can be combined with virtual reality (VR) to study people’s responses during emergency evacuation scenarios. This is demonstrated through a pilot study in which people are exposed to different types of alarm: visual (flashing lights) and auditory (alarm sounds), while their cognitive load and behavioral response are observed. A VR fire evacuat

This thesis explores how young Swedish men experience and make sense of depression and the use of antidepressants. It examines whether they perceive their diagnosis of depression and subsequent treatment with antidepressants as appropriate or problematic. The research critically engages with the biomedical model in psychiatric practice, emphasizing the tension between standardized diagnostic frame

Studien har strävat efter att utvärdera och undersöka det AI-baserade verktyget “TalkToAlba” (förkortas Alba) som ett hjälpmedel för vårdgivare inom psykisk hälsovård i behandling av patienter. Alba är ett multifacetterat verktyg som kan utföra kliniska intervjuer med patienter, ge förslag på diagnoser, föra journal samt tillhandahålla en plan för kognitiv beteendeterapi. En vårdgivare har haft möThe aspiration of this study has been to examine and evaluate the artificial intelligence tool “TalkToAlba” (Alba for short) as an aid for caregivers in mental health in their treatment of patients. Alba is a multifaceted tool that can conduct clinical interviews with patients, provide AI-based suggestions of diagnoses, keep journal entries and provide a plan for cognitive behavioral therapy. One

This thesis investigates the online “Egypt vs. Masr” trend as an entry point to studying socio-economic disparities and spatial divides in urban Cairo. Drawing on ideas of Pierre Bourdieu and Mike Bailey’s ‘utopia of exclusion’ as criticism of neoliberalism, it aims to make sense of this trend and how it relates to the proliferation of Cairo’s upscale urban developments. As such, this thesis is en

This thesis investigates whether historical trauma could influence societal perceptions of foreign humanitarian aid, with a particular focus on Poland. The study explores how collective memory and past experiences of occupation, repression, and conflict might shape trust towards foreign humanitarian actors. A mixed-method approach was applied, consisting of expert interviews and a public surve

This thesis investigates the modeling of top quark pair production in association with a W boson, focusing in particular on off-shell effects and spin correlations within the framework of the Narrow Width Approximation (NWA). Full NLO QCD computations for the complete ttW process, including finite-width and spin-correlation effects, offer the highest theoretical accuracy. However, they are computa

High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most common subtype of ovarian cancer, often discovered in advanced stages and linked to poor survival. Due to high mortality rates, there is a need for novel treatment strategies. A promising new strategy is induction of ferroptosis, which has recently been shown to synergistically induce cell death in HGSOCs in combination with MTDH-SND1 protein

This thesis presents the development and implementation of a self-contained on-chip test framework designed to validate analog-to-digital (ADC) and digital-to-analog (DAC) converters integrated within an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC). Utilizing the embedded ARM Cortex-M7 processor within the ASIC, the test framework eliminates reliance on external instruments by internally perform

Human behavior plays a central role in an environmentally sustainable world. Organisations also have a significant environmental impact, with many allocating resources to the development of more sustainable products and technology. However, pro-environmental behavior in the workplace is often overlooked, despite the substantial opportunity organisations have to influence it. This study encourages

High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) is the most lethal subtype of ovarian cancer and remains a major clinical challenge due to frequent late diagnosis and limited treatment options. This study investigates the therapeutic potential of targeting the oncogenic interaction between metadherin (MTDH) and staphylococcal nuclease domain-containing 1 (SND1) which are proteins known to promote tumor p

Skåne universitetssjukhus i Lund är idag belagt på Getingevägen men ska efter beslut från Region Skåne och Lunds kommun flyttas till Smörlyckan i Lund. Byggstart är planerad från 2030 och färdigställande 2045. Eftersom Smörlyckan ligger längre från stadskärnan än nuvarande sjukhus, behöver ett hållbart och effektivt kollektivtrafiksystem utvecklas för att säkerställa ett bra transportsystem till SThe Skåne University Hospital in Lund is currently located along Getingevägen but, following decisions by Region Skåne and the City of Lund, will be relocated to Smörlyckan. Construction is planned to start in 2030 with completion by 2045. Since Smörlyckan is situated farther from the city center than the current hospital, a sustainable and efficient public transport system needs to be developed t

This thesis explores the function of compulsory licensing established by the World Trade Organisation’s TRIPS Agreement, which serves as a legal means to enhance access to essential medications in low-income countries. The study examines the conflict between intellectual property rights and the right to health, highlighting the flexibilities within TRIPS and their interpretation as emphasised in t

This study investigates the dynamic response of a glass pane under impact loading utilizing modal analysis and Newmark’s method. The benefits and drawbacks of modal analysis as well as Newmark’s method in this context are also investigated. The study aims to simulate the testing of glass panes according to the testing method described in SS-EN 12600 where an impact device is swung in a pendulum mo

This thesis investigates the economic impacts of the 2018-2019 US-China trade war on Sweden. Given that Sweden is a small, open economy deeply embedded in global supply chains, the study explores how external trade tensions influenced domestic consumer and producer welfare. Using monthly time series data from 2016 to 2022, the analysis focuses on key trade-related price indices (Export Price Index

Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
