This thesis explores how different generational cohorts in Sweden construct and compares trust toward bank-based and non-bank digital payment services during online checkout situations. Drawing on McKnight et al.’s Web Trust Model, the study examines how trust is shaped through perceptions of security, institutional safeguards, usability, and provider reliability in a highly digitalised payment en
Digitaliseringen och den ökade användningen av Internet of Things (IoT) inom svensk offentlig sektor leder till att allt större mängder data genereras. En del av denna data riskerar att förbli oanvänd, vilket i studien benämns som dark IoT-data. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur IoT-dataanvändningen tar form inom svensk offentlig sektor samt hur dark IoT-data uppstår och hanteras i relation
Svensk hälso- och sjukvård har under fyra decennier rört sig mot en alltmer digital infrastruktur, där journalsystemet förvandlats från ett dokumentationsverktyg till den infrastruktur kring vilken kliniska arbetsprocesser organiseras. När 19 av 21 svenska regioner förväntas använda samma journalsystem år 2029 väcks frågan om vad ett sådant beroende gör med vården i dess kliniska kärna. Studien sy
Braided rivers are among the most dynamic and ecologically valuable fluvial systems, yet their complexity makes remote sensing-based monitoring particularly challenging. The Tagliamento River in northeastern Italy faces potential future regulation through proposed flood-gate infrastructure near the Dignano Bridge, making the establishment of baseline conditions a priority. This study pursued two o
Användningen av generativa AI-verktyg ökar snabbt inom offentlig sektor och erbjuder betydande effektiviseringsmöjligheter, men ställer samtidigt nya krav på informationssäkerhet. Denna studie undersöker hur anställda inom svensk offentlig sektor uppfattar och hanterar informationssäkerhetsrisker vid användning av generativa AI-verktyg, samt vilken roll policy och riktlinjer spelar i detta. Studie
Land suitability assessments for coffee cultivation can support agroecological planning and contribute to food security and economic stability in many African regions. The study identifies land suitability for coffee cultivation in Nyamagabe, Rwanda, highlighting the significant influence of air temperature, rainfall, and elevation on coffee plantations. By comparing two spatial analysis results,
Kliniska beslutsstödssystem (CDSS) är digitala verktyg som jämför patientdata med medicinsk kunskap för att ge vårdpersonal rekommendationer om diagnostik och behandling, ofta utan att patienten känner till det. I takt med att allt fler svenska regioner inför digitala vårdsystem väcker detta frågor om hur vårdtagare bedömer sådan dataanvändning. Tidigare forskning har i huvudsak fokuserat på vårdp
Uppsatsen undersöker hur beslutsfattare i svenskt näringsliv resonerar kring modernisering av legacy system, och vilken roll externa kontra verksamhetsnära drivkrafter spelar i sådana beslut. Underlaget består av fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer i ledande befattning inom finans, telekom och verkstadsindustri. Uppsatsen finner att gränsen mellan externa och interna drivkrafter är svå
Public oversight depends not only on public documents, but on traceable relations between them. This bachelor thesis examines how selected UKÄ legal-supervision findings and subsequent public governance documents produce different levels of public follow-up visibility. It asks what distinguishes cases where an oversight report makes expected action visible from cases where later public documents p
Organizations undergoing post-merger ERP transformations face significant challenges in designing unified master data governance frameworks. This study investigates how the post-merger context shapes master data governance design through a qualitative single case study of a large global company adopting a renewal integration strategy. Findings offer practitioners insights: a "renewal" ap
Since 2024, the Swedish women’s rights organisation Kvinna till Kvinna offers a leadership training programme for women who have migrated, or who have parents who have migrated. Kvinna till Kvinna refers to these women as “women with a migration background”. The programme was presented as a response to the underrepresentation of “women with a migration background” in leadership positions, and to p
The European Union was founded based on the liberal idea that economic interdependence would prevent war among member states, an idea that has also shaped its economic policy. In recent time, strategic tools have been integrated in economic policy to reach geopolitical means, which contradicts with its traditional liberal values. This essay examines how the European Union’s view of security is dis
This study examines similarities and differences between the nuclear doctrines of France, Russia and the United States, and how these can be interpreted through Thomas Schelling’s framework on credibility, deterrence and risk. The study is based on a qualitative comparative content analysis of official doctrinal documents, focusing on purpose, nuclear capability and conditions of use. The results
When Europe speaks of security, it speaks of itself. The increased security threats posed by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and American protectionism has changed the geopolitical context of the European Union, which seems to have increased EU officials’ emphasis on a European identity in political speeches. Consequently, this thesis sought to investigate the link between security threats and Europe
Conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) against women can be considered a crime against humanity when used as a strategy in war. The purpose of this thesis is to, through a qualitative case study of the Bosnian War, map out how CRSV was used during the war, how it can be explained, and if there is a way to separate strategic and opportunistic rape in wartime. The research questions are answered th
This bachelor’s thesis examines how Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico justify their foreign and security policy positions regarding the war in Ukraine through a comparative idea analysis. Drawing on social constructivism and combining Benedict Anderson’s concept of imagined communities, Maurice Halbwachs’ theory of collective memory, and Robert Entman’s framing
This study examines how the Trump administration legitimizes the military interventions in Venezuela and Iran during 2026 through legal, moral, and political arguments. The aim is to analyze how the administration justifies the use of military force and which ideas and values carry this legitimization. The study is based on a qualitative comparative research design in which three political stateme
This study examines the role of civil society organizations in the integration of Swedish Afghans in France, referring to Afghan refugees who, after repeated asylum rejections in Sweden, have relocated to France to reapply for asylum. This type of secondary movement of asylum seekers challenges the viability of the EU’s system of refugee reception and is heavily restricted by the Dublin Regulation
The “teenage deportations” emerged from more austere migration politics and have received considerable medial attention in Sweden since early January. This paper broadens the literature on the depiction of migrants through this contemporary case and expands previous research, primarily focused on ethnicity, gender and religion. A qualitative critical discourse analysis (CDA), combined with mediat
This study explores how expert knowledge is perceived and how the government adjusts to expert knowledge within the Swedish referral system, by studying the case of the Security Zones Act (Lagen om säkerhetszoner, SFS 2024:200). The purpose is to analyze how experts and officials perceive the referral systems’ instrumental and symbolic meaning, and how the Swedish government adjusts to the expert
