This paper examines relocation of taxpayers during 2000 to 2021 across Swedish local work regions and its implications on the tax system. There exist 290 mu- nicipalities in Sweden, which are divided into 67 local work regions. Relocation is categorised as either relocation within or outside local work regions. Furthermore, a distinction is made between age and income groups in order to capture po
In this thesis I analyse multiple statements, speeches, and interviews by Jimmie Åkesson, Marine Le Pen, and Viktor Orbán before, during, and after the refugee crisis in 2015. It examines the leaders' rhetorical process on migration in the context of Islam from 2010 to 2024. Furthermore, the thesis explores the development of the leaders' discourse during one of Europe's most challengi
Tillsyn med fingertoppskänsla – att välja rätt tillsynsverktyg i varje situation Runt om i Sverige arbetar miljöinspektörer varje dag för att främja en god och hälsosam miljö, både för dagens samhälle och för kommande generationer. En viktig del av detta ar bete är tillsyn av verksamheter som kan påverka människors hälsa och miljön negativt. Alla sådana verksamheter är skyldiga att följa miljöEnvironmental protection supervision is an important instrument for limiting and controlling the negative effects that environmentally hazardous activities can have on human health and the envi-ronment. Fuel facilities (“gas stations”) are one of these hazardous activities, supervised by envi-ronmental protection inspectors at the municipal level. To ensure legal compliance, inspectors use tools s
Varje år dör nästan 10 miljoner människor i cancer, många av dem hade kunnat räddas genom tidigare diagnostisering. Capillon Analytics är ett företag som startade som ett forskningsprojekt vid Lunds universitet. De utvecklar en metod för att identifiera tidiga tecken på cancer genom håranalysering och siktar mot klinisk validering 2026. I samarbete med dem var målet med detta examensarbete att stöEvery year, around 10 million people die from cancer, many of whom could have been saved through earlier detection. Capillon Analytics is a company that grew out of research at Lund University and is developing a method for identifying early signs of cancer using hair analysis and are aiming for clinical validation in 2026. In collaboration with them, the aim of this thesis was to support their wo
The study examines whether Nigerian communication practitioners engage with, adapt to, or diverge from dominant Western crisis communication assumptions when managing crises shaped by ethnic, political, and religious complexities. Using a phenomenological qualitative approach to explore their lived experiences, ten communication professionals from government, corporate, and consultancy sectors w
Avian migration is based on a genetically inherited, endogenous programme which encodes the spatio-temporal information necessary for naive individuals to perform their first migration. The mechanism responsible for the temporal aspect of migration includes both endogenous clocks and responses to external cues to generate timing programmes. Of all the external cues involved, photoperiod has the g
Public procurement accounts for a substantial portion of public spending within the European Union (EU), yet it remains highly vulnerable to corruption. This thesis investigates to how EU procurement law—particularly Directive 2014/24/EU—can mitigate corruption risks in the internal market. It examines the legal mechanisms embedded in the Directive, such as mandatory exclusion, procedural transpar
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
The upcoming Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) aims to push new frontiers in the search for the nature of dark matter. Its electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal) can be calibrated directly from the electron beam in the experiment, however the hadronic calorimeter (HCal) will be installed behind and to the sides of the ECal. Thus, it cannot be calibrated directly and has to be done so through other m
Shame represents a serious concern among LGBTQ+ individuals, which is often related to minority stressors such as traumatic experiences, peer and family rejection, and societal or religious stigma. This experience of shame is often associated with negative mental health outcomes such as depression and anxiety. This systematic review and metaanalysis evaluated the effectiveness of psychological int
Denna studie undersökte plurisexuella kvinnors positiva upplevelser av sexuell minoritetstillhörighet. Mot bakgrund av den begränsade mängden forskning på ämnet gjordes en explorativ kvalitativ studie utifrån en fenomenologisk epistemologi. Datan genererades genom semistrukturerade intervjuer som analyserades med reflexiv tematisk analys. Dataanalysen genererade två huvudteman varav det första, EnThis study explored plurisexual women's positive experiences of sexual minority belonging. Given the limited amount of research on the topic, an exploratory qualitative study was conducted using a phenomenological epistemology. The data was generated through semi-structured interviews that were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. The data analysis generated two main themes, the first o
This thesis investigates the economic consequences of informal sanctions imposed by China on Norwegian salmon exports following the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Although no formal trade restrictions were announced, Norwegian salmon, a main export item, faced opaque import barriers that significantly disrupted trade flows. Using disaggregated product-level export
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur försäkringsbolag arbetar med att skapa tillit till AI-system i skadehandläggningsprocesser. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning om tillit till AI – särskilt begreppen teknisk kvalitet, integritet och mänskliga egenskaper – analyseras tekniska och organisatoriska strategier genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie. Analysen bygger på en systematisk jämförelse mellan
Denna populärvetenskapliga artikel undersöker om en dynamisk explicit FE-analys av en helbilsmodell kan användas för att simulera lastfallet "Drive Over Curb". Syftet var att ta reda på om en sådan helbilsmodell kan ge mer realistiska resultat än simuleringar på komponentnivå. Genom att jämföra simuleringsdata med fysiska testresultat visade det sig att metoden stämmer väl överens med veThis thesis work has been conducted in collaboration with Volvo Cars Corporation. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of using an explicit dynamic finite element (FE) simulation to predict forces and accelerations in the suspension during a “Drive over Curb” load case. This was conducted using the explicit FE solver LS-DYNA. To validate the FE model, simulation results were compared
We investigate the role of complexity in choice under risk through an online experiment in which complexity is manipulated by the use of tokens and tokens-to-dollar conversion rates. This novel experimental design allows us to represent the same dollar amount with different numbers of tokens and thus create choice options that are identical in terms of value but different in terms of complexity. W
This study aims to explore how medical social workers in pediatric healthcare and youth clinics reason about documentation practices in their daily work. The focus is on the challenges they encounter related to language, ethics, legal regulations, and interactions with other professional groups. Using a qualitative approach, the study is based on focus group interviews and analyzed through the len
Introduction: Discovering and characterizing protein interaction partners can provide valuable insights into key functions. It can also enable the structure determination of small and flexible proteins by providing rigidity through the formation of protein complexes. Background: To date, there are no protein structures of full-length PARP15 in the protein data bank (PDB). Utilizing binding partn

Agri-PV is a promising socio-technical innovation increasingly being deployed in Bavaria and Germany. However, institutional challenges in the approval process hinder process standardization and effective deployment. Using a qualitative research design and the three-pillar framework of institutions, this study investigates the approval process of Agri-PV in Bavaria. 17 semi-structured interviews w
