This thesis explores the contradiction between the visibility of Black culture and the social invisibility of Black people in contemporary Japan. Black cultural forms are widely consumed in Japanese popular culture, from music and fashion to hairstyles, yet Black residents remain systematically marginalized in mainstream media and public discourse. The myth of tan'itsu minzoku sustains this co
The number and complexity of modern software systems have increased substantially since their inception. This unrelenting growth is making manual code review more difficult year by year, and the gap between the amount of code and security verification creates a critical need for automated tools that can assist developers in detecting vulnerabilities. A possible solution to this is large language m
I takt med att offentliga institutioner i allt högre grad använder sociala medier har plattformar som TikTok blivit viktiga verktyg för att nå yngre målgrupper. Denna studie undersöker hur unga vuxna mellan 18 och 20 år uppfattar och tolkar Försvarsmaktens kommunikation på TikTok, med fokus på govtainment, humor, informellt tilltal och institutionell trovärdighet. Utifrån ett mottagarperspektiv un
Se huset är ett examensarbete i arkitektur där husägandet ses och presenteras om ett förvaltarskap. Ett omhändertagande. Med utgångspunkt från den svenska 60-talsvillans karaktär och tillblivelse utifrån en social och politisk kontext, lyfts uppkomst och konsekvenser av rådande attityd gentemot denna kategori av bostadshus. Undersökningen har styrts av frågor kring värden och bevarande länkat tilSe huset - See the house is a thesis presenting the ownership of the single-family house as a type of stewardship. An entrusted care. As a point of departure I have taken the Swedish villa from the 60s, with its characteristics and the social and political context of its development, and looked into the consequences of attitudes towards this category of housing. My inquiry is led by questions of
Background: The shift from product based to service oriented economies has transformed business strategies, particularily in B2B contexts, where value creation increasingly relies on integrated service offerings. Digitalization, especially through cloud based infrastructure models such as CPaaS, has accelerated this transition, by enabling scalable real time solutions. As a result, companies face
Digitala FAQ-guider har blivit en central del av organisationers kundkommunikation. Kunder förväntas i allt större utsträckning lösa problem och navigera information självständigt utan direkt mänsklig interaktion. Tidigare forskning har främst förstått FAQ som tekniska informationssystem och självbetjäningslösningar, medan deras kommunikativa och strategiska dimensioner har fått begränsad vetenska
On Rednote, a social media platform for lifestyle and interests in China, users often describe some public comment sections as having 活人感 (huó rén gǎn, liveliness), a feeling that someone has personally invested effort and left perceivable traces in what is said. Voice comments have become a visible component of this interactional environment. I explored how asynchronous voice comments are used in
This is a master’s thesis about reading promotion. The purpose of this study is to examine and increase knowledge about reading promotion in a school context. The example used is the project “Free Reading”, implemented by third year students at a high school in southern Sweden. “Free Reading” requires the students to read for 15 minutes at the start of every English lesson, in a book of their own
The focus of this thesis is to examine how the civic identity of the second-generation migrants in Italy is constructed through media representations of migration, citizenship, and national belonging. Previous studies focused on migrants’ integration, which was based on their socio-economic situation, mobility, and assimilation process. I argue that these approaches are insufficient to explain how
Despite its rapid growth within sustainable finance, ESG has faced criticism for functioning primarily as a risk management tool, failing to capture holistic conceptions of value beyond those that are financially material. This paper explores the Holistic Value Addition (HVA) framework as an alternative to ESG in Australia, paying attention to First Nations perspectives and intergenerational respo
Efforts to criminalize ecocide have gained renewed political momentum amid escalating environmental crisis. A key development in this context is the 2024 reform of the Belgian Penal Code, which introduced the crime of ecocide in Article 94. This thesis examines the legal and political process leading to this reform through key informant interviews and library research. It identifies key moments du
In recent years, the Chinese city of Dali has been intensely romanticised on digital platforms such as Rednote (Xiaohongshu) as a flawless sanctuary of slow living. This digital utopification emerges as a collective response to systemic urban hypercompetition and burnout. Rather than verifying the empirical truth of this destination image, this thesis investigates what utopification actively achie
Ensamagerande våldsaktörer utgör idag det primära attentatshotet mot människor i Sverige, vilket aktualiserar frågan om vilka analytiska ramverk som bäst lämpar sig för att förstå dessa aktörer. Denna studie tillämpar en competing theories-ansats inom ramen för kongruensanalys genom att jämföra det moderna riskbedömingsinstrumentet TRAP-18 med den traditionella analytiska ansatsen, skapad av Russe
The market for ready-to-drink protein beverages has expanded alongside growing interest in health, convenience, and active aging. However, many products in this category appear to target younger, fitness-oriented consumers, while adults aged 65 and older remain less visible as a distinct consumer segment. Drawing on a qualitative methodology, this thesis examines how older adults in the United St
This thesis examines how archivists perceive different archival spaces, with an emphasis on physical and digital archives. The study is based on four semi-structured interviews with Swedish archivists who all work in public archives. A key aim of the research has been to let the informants reflect on how the various archival environments make them feel – and which of the senses they invoke – rathe
The task of matching fixed-order event generation with the parton shower is physically non-trivial and closely related to an efficiency bottleneck of event generators. In this thesis, we examine and implement two novel matching schemes in KrkNLO and MAcNLOPS for the LHC process p p > Z Z. As both schemes generate positive-definite event samples, they can be interesting alternatives to MC@NLO. The
Economics education continues to reproduce an economics paradigm divorced from the material reality of climate change and environmental degradation. This thesis investigated the inclusion of ecological economics as an alternative paradigm in the Czech undergraduate economics curricula by employing a mixed methods approach. The content analysis revealed that the chosen programmes do not integrate e
Food can be transformed into data, but it is never only data. This thesis takes the Chinese health and weight management app Boohee as a case study to examine the tension behind its dietary tracking functionality. Rather than evaluating Boohee’ s effectiveness as a health technology, this study frames it as a digital media environment that enables users to record, compare, and self-evaluate dietar
Fotografiskt material är något av det mest känsliga material som bevaras vid arkivinstitutioner, inklusive kommunarkiv. Trots detta finns det en övergripande brist på resurser, översyn och ansvar när det gäller bevarandet av detta material i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med kunskap om hur analogt fotografiskt material bevaras vid mindre kommunarkiv i Skåne. Detta syfte undersöks
