”We will never become Russians”: the discourse concerning Russia as the Other in Swedish conservative daily press between 1890 and 1906. This study focuses on how three events unfolding in the Russian empire during the turn of the nineteenth century were portrayed in the Swedish conservative daily press. The depiction of the following events have been subject of examination: the russification of

This thesis is ultimately concerned with a natural and optimal generalization of the familiar Bell state measurement on four basis states. Measurements in quantum mechanics are interactive processes, meaning the observer actively changes the state they extract information from. Different measurements differ in the degree of the disturbance induced, and in the amount and type of information gained.

This thesis deals with language mixing in 20th century Japanese jazz, particularly the use of English. There have been multiple studies conducted on the language mixing phenomenon in Japanese pop-music (J-pop), a popular genre in Japan today. The results showcase that English is frequently used in J-pop, both inter-sentential and intra-sentential code-switching. The use of English has also been sh

Recently, the paper ”When Choices Are Mistakes” by Nielsen, Kirby, and John Rehbeck (2022) introduced a novel method to test axiomatic theories of choice under risk. This innovative approach opened new avenues for exploring decision- making processes. Ambiguity aversion, a distinct concept where probabilities of outcomes are unknown, is fundamental in understanding economic and financial decisions

Two-particle angular correlations were measured in proton-proton collisions for pions π, kaons K and protons p. The meson results show the expected peak predicted by theory. However the proton results (for baryon-baryon and antibaryon-antibaryon pairs) an anti-correlation is observed. This observation is rooted in the baryon formation after the collision.

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att öka kunskapen om det kollegiala stödet i äldreomsorgsverksamheter. Frågeställningar: ➢ Hur upplevs det kollegiala stödet i äldrevården? ➢ Hur upplevs det kollegiala stödet som ett sätt att hantera det fysiskt och psykiskt krävande arbetet? Metod: En kvalitativ studie där semistrukturerade intervjuer utgjorde det empiriska materialet, insamlat från nio intervjupersone

This project aims to use the Tröger’s base molecule to synthesize a linearly heptakis-Tröger’s base. The furthest this project reached was the synthesis of the linearly fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue. To reach this compound, nine synthesis steps were preformed starting with an aniline analogue. The aniline was first halogenated and then condensed into the first Tröger’s base analogue. This was

Citizen collaboration is essential to tackling global sustainability issues. People have different motivations for participating. However, there is a lack of studies on citizen motivations for participating in local sustainability initiatives. To address this gap, the present study looked into the motivations of the residents of the Sege Park neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden. The study interviewed n

Järn är en metall som finns i överflöd på vår jord. Den är säker, är ett av de mest använda grundämnena genom den mänskliga historien och finns naturligt inom varje människa. När den kombineras med andra atomer kallade ligander för att bilda ett så kallat komplex, kan den ifall den får lov att absorbera ljus, uppvisa fotokatalytiska egenskaper. Detta innebär att den omvandlar det inkommande ljusetIron is one of the most versatile transition metals on the planet, and it is the fourth most plentiful element in the crust on earth. It is among numerous things, endogenously, vital to the human organism, and exogenously, safe to handle. When combined with ligands to form a complex, it exhibits qualities that of catalysing light into viable energy, which can be harnessed to sustain different elec

In the rapidly evolving telecommunications industry, customer retention is crucial for maintaining profitability. This report investigates the performance of various machine learning models in predicting customer churn rates, which are integral to calculating Customer Lifetime Value (CLV). The focus is on a comparative analysis of several models including logistic regression, ridge regression, las

The November 2022 launch of the ChatGPT generative AI (GAI) sparked extensive discussions in the publishing and book industries. This technology challenges the unique creative ability of humans and raises concerns about its impact on text-based professions. Discussions include ethical uses and copyright. This study focuses on the use of GAI in translations of adult fiction by traditional publisher

We are constantly introduced to new microtrends through the fast-paced digital landscape that we are all a part of. Barbiecore, Soft girl, Scandi-girl, Clean girl and Mob wife are examples of a few recent ones. These trends that mainly flourish on social media create ideals for women on how to dress and act online and offline. But how are the microtrends of clean girl and mob wife being received?

This thesis explores the possibility of redesigning ASSA ABLOY’s industrial door in order to improve sustainability through the use of new materials. The first step of the process involved investigating different parts contained within the door, in order to decide which part of the door should be redesigned. Because of its high environmental impact as well as opportunities for improvement, it was

Forests offer vital ecosystem services but face threats from various stressors, including climate change and insect infestations. The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) poses significant risks to Norway Spruce (Picea abies). Early detection of bark beetle infestations is crucial for damage control but challenging with traditional methods. This study aims to utilize modern remote sens

Throughout history, the aspiration for wealth and success has been universal, further amplified by media portrayals that often glamorise entrepreneurial success. However, the reality of entrepreneurship frequently contrasts sharply with these optimistic depictions, highlighting a significant gap and underscoring the need for a nuanced exploration of entrepreneurial optimism (EO). This study explor

Designer fashion items hold a high status within the fashion industry. A designer brands’ culture, aesthetic, and exclusivity give their products a symbolic value that can be used by consumers to build identity or express qualities like success or wealth. Therefore it is natural that counterfeit fashion items emerge as an alternative for consumers who want to emulate these qualities, but for a che

In a designated market filled with many well-established organizations, there are difficulties in capturing the attention of the desired customer base. Consumers are exposed to many advertisements daily, which fail to grab their attention. Provocative or controversial advertising cuts through this clutter by delivering a message that undeniably stands out. This is usually done by breaking a set of

This thesis examines the role of consultants as external change agents for sustainability, exploring how they address the grand challenges of our generation through the provision of ESG services. Interviews with fifteen consultants and sustainability services providers located in Sweden and Denmark were conducted to map how ESG services are framed as a service offering in Scandinavia. Additionally

This paper investigates the intricacies of language complexity in political discourse within the Swedish parliament, with a focus on understanding the impact of mediatization. Drawing on Strömbäck's four-phase framework of mediatization, the study examines whether the internalization of media logic has led to a simplification of language in parliamentary debates. Using a quantitative approach,
