This study investigates the factors influencing the intentions of onward migration from Sweden among individuals with a foreign background. Using a quantitative approach, the study examines how levels of integration, belief in the future, social belonging, and educational and occupational status relate to considerations of leaving the country. The analysis is based on data collected through a web-

Kvalitetskontrollsmodell för textilåtervinning 2025 infördes en EU-lag som gjorde det obligatoriskt att sortera textilavfall separat. Här presenteras grunden för en modell som relaterar reaktorparametrar till kvalité på återvunnen textilmassa. Textilindustrin omfattade 2024 knappt 2 biljoner USD. Det är en global industri där textilierna ofta designas i USA, produceras i asiatiska länder och slutTextile recycling is highly needed as great amounts of waste are produced every year and most of it is put into landfill or incinerated. This thesis lays the foundations for a quality control system which may be applied for controlling the recycling of cellulosic textiles in an upcoming pilot plant based on ShareTex’s technology. The quality control system was constructed as a mathematical model r

Bladder cancer remains a prevalent and deadly cancer form worldwide. While immunotherapy has yielded significant progress, additional therapeutic strategies are needed to improve the response in bladder cancer patients. A novel immune cell target, referred to as “protein X”, has previously been identified in Lundberg’s lab. Antibodies developed against protein X were provided to us, with the aim o

An ‘implementation gap’ between law and practice has long been noticed by scholars and practitioners of children’s rights. This chapter goes beyond critiquing such a gap by unpacking and deconstructing the very notion of ‘implementation.’ It empirically studies how India’s national child helpline, and thereby children’s protection rights, are implemented in the state of Madhya Pradesh in North Ind

The paper explores the role and meaning of maṣlaḥa (social utility) and its possible appropriation in the field of Islamic legal and economic thought, as laid down by various medieval and contemporary Muslim scholars. Questions that are pertinent to the research are the following: how has maṣlaḥa been incorporated in legal reasoning and what kind of meaning does it convey; what type of economic (a

This thesis critically examines how corporate stakeholders frame the social impacts of the Lake Turkana Wind Power Project (LTWP) in Kenya. By scrutinising how social impacts are framed, this thesis sets out to analyse how discursive strategies can shape justice outcomes of renewable energy projects. By doing so, contribute to the current academic discourse on energy justice of renewable energy pr

Northvolt AB is a Swedish sustainable battery producer with a passion for green energy. During 2024, a series of crisis events affected the organization, posing threats to its reputation. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate how Northvolt during an active crisis phase implemented strategic communication in order to strengthen their image or reputation. Through coding of data, foll

This thesis investigates how the European Union, through the European Personnel Selection Office (EPSO), constructs and communicates its employer brand, with a particular focus on how this may influence the underrepresentation of Swedish nationals in EU institutions. The study draws on theories of employer branding and Hofstede’s cultural dimensions to explore how centrally produced communication

Sedan upptäckten av penicillin har mänskligheten lyckats kringgå bakteriella infektioner som tidigare varit dödliga. Men i takt med att användningen av antibiotika ökat, har bakterierna lärt sig att kringgå det. Dessa så kallade resistenta bakterier utgör ett stort hot mot människan, eftersom de i nuläget är svåra att stoppa – med följden att vissa bakteriella infektioner kanske återigen kommer klWith antimicrobial resistance emerging, this project is part of a larger effort to design novel antibacterial substances combating bacterial infections. On the road towards this, sialic acids have become of large interest. Having a vital role within cell signalling, adhesion and recognition in the human body, these 9-carbon α-keto sugars have opened a door for bacterial survival. By the help of si

Alzheimers sjukdom, multipel skleros, amyotrofisk lateralskleros, Parkinsons sjukdom, Huntingtons sjukdom och prionrelaterade sjukdomar, är alla exempel på neuroinflammatoriska sjukdomar. Gemensamt för dessa är att det inte finns så många behandlingar tillgängliga och därmed finns det en stor efterfrågan på nya läkemedel. Neurologiska sjukdomar är svåra att behandla med läkemedel på grund av den sGalectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrate structures, with high affinity for β-galactoside ligands that exists naturally in our bodies. They are involved in the development of various diseases, including central nervous system diseases and cancer proliferation. Galectin-1, which is the focus in this thesis, is related to anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective functions in the brain. Drug del

This study aims to discourage error-prone intuitive thinking in decision-making for proactive adaptation to disaster risk and climate change and to encourage the realisation of well-founded proactive adaptation measures by developing a decision support tool for Swedish municipal preparedness coordinators. Using a design research methodology, the researchers interviewed preparedness coordinators fr

Oat grains contain high levels of phytic acid, an anti-nutritional compound that reduces nutrient bioavailability, along with notably low phytase activity, the enzymatic mechanism responsible for phytic acid degradation. Malting of oats prior to human consumption is a recognized method to reduce phytic acid content by inducing phytase expression, thereby enhancing the nutritional value of oats. Th

History leaves its marks on the life of a city. As urban landscapes continue to expand and evolve, old industrial sites and urban functions are often left behind, fading into the margins of the contemporary city. This thesis seeks to explore how architecture and public space can breathe new life into these forgotten areas, reactivating them as meaningful parts of the city’s present and future.The

Syftet med denna uppsats är att bättre förstå komplexiteten i hur ”sex mot ersättning” adresseras i Sverige. Utifrån Sveriges sexköpslag, som är utformad för att skydda kvinnor mot ett patriarkalt förtryck, är det av intresse att undersöka diskussionen om sex mot ersättning och hur stöd- och skyddsåtgärder utformas. Analysen fokuserar på de diskurser som används av aktörer som på olika sätt arbeta

Den här kvalitativa studien har som syfte att undersöka ledarskap som en roll och hur ledarskap formas genom social interaktion, inom studentföreningar vid Lunds universitet. Tidigare studier har gjorts på chefsroller och ledarpositioner inom yrkesverksamheter, men det saknas forskning på ledarskap bland studentföreningar och utifrån studenters egna perspektiv. Via tio stycken semistrukturerade in

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children and is characterized by chronic synovial inflammation. Monocytes isolated from inflamed joints in oligoarticular JIA display both inflammatory and regulatory features. While some insights exist regarding signals that drive regulatory traits, the mechanisms responsible for inflammatory activation remain poorly unde

Med anledning av den negativa bilden av SiS-hem som skildras i massmedier väcktes ett intresse för att undersöka ungdomarnas egna perspektiv närmare. Denna uppsats vill nyansera denna bild och ge en röst åt de ungdomar som vistats på SiS-hem. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur ungdomar i videor på YouTube uttrycker sig om vistelse på SiS-hem. Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ tematisk analy

The increasing integration of AI-generated microcontent summaries in everyday use lacks clear evidence of impact on user decision quality compared to simpler methods or original content, raising "AI-washing" concerns. This study empirically investigated the effects of AI-generated summaries of microcontent on user decision quality, considering content collection length, to assess if and
