Aid volatility is one of the main topics in the discussion of aid effectiveness in developing countries. The energy sector is relevant for the achievement of sustainable development because this sector holds strong linkages to diverse SDGs. Unlike previous studies that claim the energy sector exhibits higher aid volatility in developing countries compared to developed countries. This thesis aims t
The aim of this paper is to examine the media coverage of Antena 3 on the anti-lockdown protests that took place on 2 October 2021 in Bucharest, Romania, as a way of understanding the impact on the public narratives and political discourse of the employment of conspiracy theories by the media. By exploring the allure, politicization, and mentality of conspiracy theories, along with utilizing disc
Byggproduktion idag, innebär bland annat en hög energianvändning, utsläpp av växthusgaser, användning av miljöfarliga ämnen samt stora mängder avfall som måste hanteras. Detta är aspekter som samtliga behöver minskas för att reducera branschens stora miljöpåverkan. Inom byggsektorn har klimatarbetet fått en alltmer ökad uppmärksamhet med införandet av olika klimatkrav på nationell och EU-nivå. I oCarbon offsets, essential in climate-related aspirations for governments and businesses, entail reducing, avoiding, or extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, even if not contemporaneous with emissions. They include, among others, energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy investments. These compensations, voluntary or regulated, must meet reliability criteria. Actions, such as Carbo
Owing to a forecasted 53% increase in therapeutic peptide requirement until 2026 – corresponding to almost 23 tonnes of product – a high pressure will be put on the peptide manufacturing industry. Not only because of the increased demand, but also due to the important role of solvents in peptide synthesis. The peptide business will face challenges as stricter regulations from chemical authorities

This master’s thesis investigates the utilisation of generative AI within traditional banking institutions, emphasising value creation, challenges, and strategic facilitators. Previous research underscores the importance of these areas in the context of generative AI's novel application in traditional banks. Findings reveal that traditional banks primarily employ generative AI for internal ope
Fraud is a crime that causes severe economic damage, and crime rates are rising because of technological advancements. There is a research gap regarding how fraud crime prevention is organised and which actors are important for it. This thesis aimed to explore how the rising occurrence of cyber fraud is addressed on a societal level, using the civil, banking, governmental, and business sectors. It
Forskningsfråga - Vilken betydelse har språkbruket mellan medarbetare för deras upplevelse av psykologisk trygghet? Syfte - Med utgångspunkt i psykologisk trygghet och med hjälp av teorier om social underminering och kommunikativ anpassningsteroi, undersöker denna uppsats vilken betydelse medarbetarnas språkbruk har för utvecklingen av en psykologisk trygghet på arbetsplatser i Sverige. Detta då This thesis investigates the significance of the language used between colleagues for their experience of psychological safety in Swedish workplaces. Utilising theories of social undermining and communicative accommodation theory, the study addresses the lack of knowledge about employees' contributions to developing psychological safety and the importance of language in this context. The stu
In recent years, social marketing, particularly LGBTQ+ advocacy, has become increasingly prevalent in many brands' communication techniques, gaining significant attention. However, few attempts have been made to study its practical and strategic aspects and develop a framework for successful social marketing endeavors that companies can implement with minimal risk of failure. This study aims t
One of the principal targets in the observational study of galactic evolution is the Milky Way, which represents the optimal subject for our capacity of resolving individual stellar proper- ties and thus inferring its history. Despite this focus, the central regions of our Galaxy, characterized by a bulge and a bar, remain a mystery. The confluence of diverse stellar populations, such as metal-ric
There is a strong need to replace animal-based experiments with in vitro alternatives. Mutz-3, a myeloid cell line, has been successfully used to investigate skin sensitization. A problem with in vitro assays, not only affecting Mutz-3, is the use of Fetal Bovine Serum for cell cultivation, as it is a serum supplement which is not fully defined, and it introduces variability in cell-based experime
In this master thesis, the most economically viable option for investing in a new unit in an existing district heating system to fulfil an intermediate load demand of district heating was studied. The investment feasibility of retrofitting a new CHP plan with carbon capture and storage and carbon capture utilization was also investigated. A simulation environment was built in the software Energy O
This thesis was written to bring attention to a group that is still largely invisible in our society - nonbinary people - and examine how nonbinary identities are characterized in children’s literature. It does so by comparing the books Månen, Varelsen och Jag and Euphoria Kids, and discusses them from the perspectives of the intended reader, trans theory, as well as “skev och monster” theory. Thi

Uppsatsen behandlar skiljedomstolen Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) som med sitt säte i Lausanne i Schweiz har varit den huvudsakliga globala skiljedomstolen vid sporträttsliga tvister sedan grundandet 1981. CAS har många fördelar som tex snabba och effektiva avgöranden av skiljedomare med kompetens inom sporträtt, men dess opartiskhet och självständighet har ständigt ifrågasatts genom åren. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is a global arbitration court which has ruled in sports law since its establishment in 1981. The arbitration court is the main court in sport disputes and acts as the last resort where subjects of sport can appeal decisions from different sport bodies to which they are bound and that includes an arbitration clause to CAS in the relevant statute.

AI, alltså artificiell intelligens, är en snabbt växande del av vårt samhälle, och påverkar redan allt från vardagliga tjänster till samhällskritiska funktioner. Samtidigt har utvecklingen väckt både möjligheter och farhågor. En av farhågorna gäller ökad diskriminering, och det är just det denna uppsats ämnar avhandla. I uppsatsen undersöks riskerna för diskriminering relaterade till AI i ett juriThis thesis highlights how AI, despite its many advantages, poses significant risks of discrimination. This is demonstrated through both real-world examples and fictional scenarios designed to illustrate specific phenomena. By analyzing the Swedish Discrimination Law and the AI Act, it becomes evident that existing frameworks offer some level of protection, but risks of discrimination associated w
