Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly being adopted in fashion retail to enhance customer ex-perience, boost engagement, and reduce uncertainty in online shopping environments. While AR offers both hedonic and utilitarian value, its implementation across large multinational fashion companies remains inconsistent due to financial, technological, and organizational barriers. This study investigates

This master’s thesis explores Recommender Systems (RS) and how these can promote sustainable consumption on e-commerce platforms by influencing consumer behaviour toward environmentally responsible choices. The aim is to provide design recommendations for sustainability-aware RS that align user preferences and environmental goals. Two research questions guided the study: how RS are designed to enc

The thesis also aims to identify factors that contribute to an unequal wor

The rapid emergence of generative artificial intelligence has sparked both excitement and concern across creative industries. The thesis examines how professionals in the Swedish gaming industry perceive Gen-AI’s role in creative workflows. Using a qualitative approach grounded in semi-structured interviews, an extended Technology Acceptance Model is ap-plied to explore themes such as usefulness,

Social isolation and loneliness among older adults are growing public health concerns. Although information and communication technologies (ICT) are increasingly promoted to foster social connectedness, how older adults perceive and adopt these technologies remains underexplored. This study applies the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to examine ICT engagement among older

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur de uppdaterade kriterierna i certifieringssystemet Miljöbyggnad påverkar hållbarhetsmålen inom bygg- och fastighetssektorn. Arbetet utgår från den centrala problematiken att byggsektorn är en av de största källorna till utsläpp och negativ miljöpåverkan. Miljöcertifieringssystem har potentialen att minska den negativa miljöpåverkan inom bygg- och fastighetssektorThis thesis examines how the updated criteria in the Miljöbyggnad certification system affect sustainability goals in the construction and real estate sector. The work is based on that the construction sector is one of the largest sources of emissions and negative environmental impact. Environmental assessment methods have the potential to reduce the negative environmental impact of the constructi

Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur medelstora och stora svenska företag uppfattar datakvalitet vid design och implementering av AI-drivna chattbotar för internt bruk. Studien bygger på fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med yrkesverksamma som varit direkt involverade i utvecklingsarbetet och belyser hur organisationer ser på faktorer som datans noggrannhet, fullständighet och tillförlitlighet. ResThis bachelor’s thesis investigates how medium and large Swedish enterprises perceive data quality during the design and implementation of AI-powered chatbots for internal use. Through five semi-structured interviews with professionals directly involved in the chatbot development, the study explores organisational perspectives on data accuracy, completeness, and reliability, as well as key drivers

Digitaliseringen har omformat rekryteringsprocessen, där digitala verktyg som bygger på automatisering och artificiell intelligens (AI) fått en allt mer framträdande roll. Denna studie undersöker hur digitala rekryteringsverktyg används och upplevs av både yrkesverksamma och kandidater under rekryteringsprocessens tidiga skede. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer belyses användning, upplevelser och attit

This thesis presents a comprehensive systems analysis of the impact of quality assessments, communication practices, and monitoring mechanisms on the efficiency of public procure-ment in the Swedish construction sector. Recognizing that public procurement is a corner-stone for societal infrastructure and development, the study specifically examines procure-ment regulated by the Swedish Public Proc

Antibody developability refers to an antibody’s suitability for clinical use, including properties such as solubility, stability, and aggregation. These traits are traditionally assessed through experimental screening, which is time-consuming and resource heavy. Machine learning offers a promising alternative for early prediction of developability, though many existing models are still in early st

Comparative genomic analysis often involves visualization of alignments of genomic loci. While several software tools are available for this task, ranging from Python and R libraries to stand-alone graphical user interfaces, a tool is lacking that offers fast, automated usage and the production of publication-ready vector images. Here we present LoVis4u, a command-line tool and Python API designed

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in anarchism from both social movements and critical academic circles. When tracing the genealogy of anarchist perspectives since the nineteenth century, radical geographers have pointed out the importance of the anarchist movement in Spain, and particularly in the city of Barcelona. During the 1960s and 1970s, authors like Murray Bookchin shared

BACKGROUND: Lead is an established causal risk factor for coronary heart disease. Atherosclerosis may be the key mediator for this association, but evidence from studies in humans is limited. Our objective was to test the hypothesis that environmental lead exposure is associated with coronary atherosclerosis. METHODS: We used cross-sectional data from the SCAPIS (Swedish Cardiopulmonary Bioimage S

Climate change and land-use change represent a dual threat to terrestrial ecosystem functioning. In the tropics, forest conversion to agriculture is occurring alongside warming and more pronounced periods of drought. Rainfall after drought induces enormous dynamics in microbial growth (potential soil carbon storage) and respiration (determining carbon loss), affecting the ecosystem carbon budget.

How mergers affect galaxy formation depends on both feedback processes, and on the geometry and strength of the mergers themselves. We introduce the PARADIGM project, where we study the response of a simulated Milky-Way-mass galaxy (M200c ∼ 1012 M at z = 0) forming in a cosmological setting to differing merger histories, using genetically modified initial conditions, each simulated with the VINTER

Accurate quantification in emission tomography is essential for internal radiopharmaceutical therapy dosimetry. Mean activity concentration measurements in objects with diameters less than 10 times the full width at half maximum of the imaging system’s spatial resolution are significantly affected (>10%) by the partial-volume effect. This study develops a framework for PET and SPECT spatial resolu

När maten blir en risk: Om smittskydd och ansvar inom äldreomsor gen Livsmedelsburna sjukdomar förekommer över hela världen och kan orsaka sjukdom hos alla människor. Äldre människor är i riskgrupp på grund av deras nedsatta immunsvar och längre återhämtningstid. Detta gör att våra äldre drabbas hårdare av sjukdomar än andra. Samtidigt är det en del av vår äldre befolkning som bor på äldreboenFoodborne diseases are a growing global concern, and a shift in trends has occurred re garding salmonella infections in Sweden. The purpose of this study is therefore to inves tigate how nursing homes in Sweden work to prevent foodborne infections. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with staff at nursing homes and with representatives from inspection authorities to gather

This thesis examines how female-targeting fintech firms can internationalize in ways that genuinely promote financial inclusion for women. Conducted as an exploratory interview study with Female Invest, it builds on the broader observation that gender remains largely absent from fintech’s outlook. The study addresses two key research gaps. First, financial inclusion efforts often overlook how cult

This thesis explores the potential of soundscape-based urban design to activate and regenerate Norra Grängesbergsgatan (NGBG), a post-industrial corridor in Malmö, Sweden. Rather than treating sound as a byproduct of urban life, the project positions it as a primary design medium one that can shape spatial experiences, encourage social interaction, and support cultural identity. The design introdu
