A Journey to the Land of Contradictions - The Depiction of Romania in Swedish Guidebooks 1964-1981. In the construction of countries as tourist destinations, travel literature – such as guidebooks – plays an integral role in deciding what places to visit and how these should be perceived. The Socialist Republic of Romania began a large-scale investment in its tourism industry in the 1950s, with a
Syftet med kandidatkursen Urban kontext (AAHF26) är att undersöka hur arkitektur förhåller sig till ett urbant sammanhang. Kursen understryker vikten av att undersöka arkitektur från ett relationellt perspektiv. Tonvikten ligger på hur arkitektur kopplar till omgivningen. I början av kursen fick vi studenter möjlighet att välja mellan ett antal platser, på förhand valda av kursansaviga lärare, i L
I brottmålsförfarandet förordnas ofta sakkunniga. Sakkunniga tillför domstolarna kunskap inom ett visst ämne. Domstolarna ska fastställa bevisvärdet av den sakkunnigas slutsatser, ofta utan egen kunskap inom ämnet. Psykologer är en typ av experter som ofta förordnas som sakkunniga. Slutsatser presenterade av psykologer tenderar att vara särskilt svårbedömda då den psykologiska disciplinen är komplExperts are commonly appointed in criminal cases to provide the court with relevant insight based on specialized knowledge within their area of professional experience. The court must determine the evidential value of the expert’s testimony, despite having little or no knowledge or training in the field of expertise. Conclusions provided to the court by psychologists tend to be particularly proble
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine how the entry of Generation Z in the workforce might affect the future of employer branding. This paper analyzes how employer branding is done currently and the differences between Gen Z and its preceding generations. Managerial suggestions on how to effectively approach Gen Z in terms of employer branding are given. Methodology: In this paper a
This master thesis investigates groundwater storage loss in the Ararat Valley’s aquifer system, driven by intensive groundwater extraction and associated with subsidence risks. Using both InSAR data and hydromechanical analysis, this research shows coherent aquifer storage changes related to localized changes in ground deformations. Non-compliance with recommended well-spacing has exacerbated stre
This thesis investigates the profitability of converting microalgae into biofuel using hydrothermal liquefaction the goal is to produce 100 000 tons of bio-oil each year. It explores various microalgae species and cultivation methods, identifying Chlorella vulgaris with a rotating attached biofilter as the optimal choice due to its high biomass concentration, eliminating the need for dewatering an
The Bangladeshi Gen Zs and university students demonstrated a revolutionary example of civic engagement, participatory culture, subcultural identity formation, and reformation during the Student Quota Reform Movement in July, leading to the July massacre where thousands of protesting students were tortured and shot to death in public. The movement happened as an enraged response against the announ
Med hjälp av programmeringsspråket python samt matematiska samband kan separation av ammoniak och kvävgas via adsorption simuleras på en dator. Detta har stor potential till att skynda på samt vägleda utvecklingen för den adsorbörenhet som i slutändan ska kunna separera ren ammoniak i ett delsteg av en större process. Precis som med den större delen av forskning, kan utveckling av nya processer oAdsorption is an important separation technique in chemical engineering, capable of achieving a high purity of product. As it is also capable of concentrating even very low concentrations it was investigated as a possible method to concentrate the product of an ammonia plasma reactor in the EU DARE2X project. As the development of adsorption systems is expensive and time consuming, a simulation of
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka de sociologiska implikationerna som existerar kring Human Resources (HR) användning av Artificiell Intelligens (AI)-verktyg inom rekryteringsarbete. Studien har ett sociologiskt fokus i form av de teorier som appliceras på analysen av studiens resultat. Dessa teoretiska ramverk är institutionell teori, som används för att förklara hur organisatoriska trender The aim of this essay is to examine the implications that Human Resources (HR) usage of Artificiall Intelligence (AI) in recruiting processes have in relation to a sociological theoretical framework. The aim is to highlight both positive and negative aspects of this and discuss these factors in relation to sociological institutional theory as well as theory of symbolic interactionism. The topic of
E-scooter sharing systems (ESS) have rapidly gained popularity since their introduction in the U.S. in 2017, promoting sustainable urban mobility and offering a new solution to transport systems challenges. However, research on ESS usage in relation to the built environment, particularly in European contexts, is limited, and comparative studies between urban areas of different sizes are not readil
This thesis examines the intersection of media engagement and the construction of national identity among the Yao people, an ethnic minority in China. This inquiry emerges against the backdrop of China's state-driven media narratives aimed at fostering national unity amidst its diverse ethnic landscape. The study investigates how the Yao people, with their rich cultural heritage and history of
This thesis explores the algorithmic imaginaries and practices of the momo community, a spontaneously formed anonymous group on the Chinese social media platform RED. By adopting a cultural perspective on algorithms, this study investigates how momo users conceptualize algorithms, their practices influenced by these conceptualizations, and how these practices manifest as a form of algorithmic resi
This thesis explores the Swedish EdTech sector, specifically investigating the commercialization of Virtual Reality (VR) technology as an innovation. Conducted as a case study in collaboration with Edda Knowledge, it aims to address a research gap identified by several scholars who note that the research field of commercialization process and stakeholder theory has predominantly focused on expert
Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management, while distinct disciplines with differing foci, are also inherently intertwined. However, conflicts between the two often arise due to the diverse number of stakeholders and interests involved in either the travel industry or the conservation and protection of cultural heritage. Despite this, cultural tourism can greatly benefit the conservation o
This is a thesis about the Finnish populistic party Perussuomalaiset, in English the Finns Party. The party has become a force to be reckoned within the Finnish politics, therefore, knowing more about the Finns Party members is a must. The aim of the thesis is to map the identities of the Finns Party members and to find out why they chose this particular party. This is interesting because populism
The aviation sector's contribution to global CO2 emissions requires the exploration of sustainable energy alternatives, with hydrogen emerging as a promising candidate. Despite their potential, hydrogen aircraft propulsion systems are not yet commercially viable, primarily due to technical challenges such as cavitation in hydrogen pumps. This study aims to analyse and optimise the design of hy
Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsToday's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards l
ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on Sweden’s involvement in applying EU anti-dumping measures within the framework of its WTO commitments. Laying emphasis on the dilemma of liberal trade policy evident in Sweden on one hand and safeguarding its Indigenous industries from unfair competition on the other hand, this research seeks to unravel how this country fulfills its obligations to the EU and t
