Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to critically explore how a regulatory, community and organizational stakeholder perceive their role in the context of sustainability reporting as well as identify convergence and divergence between these different stakeholder perceptions. Methodology: We chose a qualitative-abductive approach to our case study of sustainability reporting by interviewing th

This essay seeks to address how power asymmetries or structural biases may affect how European Union (EU) law considers market actors and the freedom to conduct a business, combining EU legal methodology with feminist and queer legal and political theory. The research finds that the EU is a purposive order, whose primary objectives inform the EU legal order and the development of EU law. EU functi

This essay explores how trustworthiness is created, established, and constructed in regard to women subjected to sexual violence, analysing significant features which may be decisive in court’s assessment of rape. The construction of the plaintiff’s trustworthiness and its impact on the legal process will be analysed in ten Swedish court cases about rape and through interviews with four women work

Mitt examensarbete har varit en utforskande process i hur arkitektur förhåller sig till landskap och natur. Arbetet har resulterat i ett exempel på hur mitt förhållningssätt skulle kunna anpassa sig och landa på en plats med vissa givna förutsättningar. Exemplet tar form i ett galleri och café vars arkitektur följer och ställer ut platsens subtila förändringar och övergångar i landskap och natur. My degree project has been an explorative process in how architecture relates to the landscape and its nature. The result of my work is an example in how my approach could adapt to a place with certain given conditions. The example is portrayed as a gallery and café whose architecture follows and exhibit the subtle changes and transitions in the landscape and surrounding nature. The location of

A majority of the grown up population in Sweden spend a large amount of time working, however we rarely discuss or reflect upon the role of work in our lives. Drawing on qualitative data collected through interviews, this study examines how professional workers ascribe meaning to their work. This is done by using a two-dimensional model of four different pathways to a meaningful work and a theoret

While renewable energy output in the World increases, Russia shows an opposite trend, consisting of a highly engrained fossil fuel-driven economy with very little State priority towards diversifying its energy supply. Accordingly, although wind energy represents only a niche market, it is more economically viable to electrifying Northern peripheral communities than connecting them to the national

This thesis aimed to work with different techniques of building archaeology, both traditional and digital. The goal was to define the possibilities offered by the “traditional” and the “digital” building archaeology but also to show the limits of these two methods. The main issue of discussing methodological problems in building archaeology was the need to define digital building archaeology, espe

Climate change is projected to cause unprecedented levels of global change and it will alter the ways in which humans currently rely on getting essential resources such as food. Africa is considered to be the most vulnerable continent to this change, with many countries that have low economic stability and insecure food sources a change to the way resources can be accessed could be detrimental to

En fraktur på underarmen är väldigt vanligt och ibland blir det fel under läkningsprocessen. Då kan benet bli deformerat och orsaka stora problem för den drabbade och man behöver korrigera med en operation. Det här projektet tar fram ett hjälpmedel för kirurgen som både kortar ner operationstiden och som förbättrar operationsresultatet för patienten.The purpose of this master thesis was to expand an existing medical modelling software, Segment 3DPrint, and develop a tool for surgical planning for corrective osteotomy of the forearm. Fractures of the forearm are very common and in some patients the fractured bone unites abnormally, causing a deformation. This is called a malunion and can affect the functionality of the wrist. The patients expe

The purpose of this project is to make an exploration on how to strengthen the connection between a product and a user. This includes my desire to work with analogue Modular synthesizers and use the human senses like sound and touch to create an experience. ''The initial brief is to create set ups that introduce the analogue modular synthesis to interested beginners to later advanced / se

Nedslagskratrar är en av de vanligaste geologiska strukturerna i vårt solsystem men relativt få har hittats på Jorden. Däremot finns det flera rapporterade potentiella nedslagskratrar som ännu inte bekräftats eller undersökts. Denna studies syfte är att undersöka hur en nedslagskrater identifieras och hur en potentiell nedslagsstruktur kan hittas. Jag har samlat information om fem potentiella nedsImpact structures are one of the most common geologic structures in our solar system, but relatively few impact structures have been found on Earth. There are many reported potential impact structures, but few have been investigated or confirmed. This paper intends to investigate how an impact structure is identified and how a potential impact structure can be found. Furthermore, information has b

An increasing number of companies are now publicly committing to becoming carbon neutral or achieving net-zero emissions. While most organisations will focus on preventative measures to reach their targets, climate compensation will also make up part of a company’s carbon management strategy. Initial reports indicate that corporate investments in forestry-related initiatives have significantly inc

Over just a few years, methods to manipulate videos have become so sophistica- ted that even someone without much expertise or computational resources can forge videos inseparable from pristine ones to the human eye. These methods can for instance insert a person in a video or manipulate their lip movements to make them say anything of the manipulator’s liking. Though there exist harm- less and co

Sepsis skördar globalt 11 miljoner människoliv per år, och även om man överlever riskerar man att få livslånga komplikationer. Befolkningen är inte införstådda med vad sepsis är och än mindre förstår de sig på vad det innebär. I detta magisterarbete har “Improving Long-term Outcomes after Sepsis” skriven av Hallie C. Prescott och Deena K. Costa analyserats. En sammanfattning av den svenska översät

What was once called science fiction has developed over the years to be one of the most strategic technologies of the 21st century – artificial intelligence (AI) is real. The rapid digitalization has opened new pathways in Swedish healthcare, by increasing productivity and the effectiveness of care delivery as well as helping more patients in receiving better care. Yet, when fully automated decisi

Ett aktuellt marknadsföringsverktyg är att använda sig av influencers för att kommunicera budskap till en stor massa. För att få en djupare förståelse för vilka attityder följare har kring förtroende- och relationsskapande till influencers har semistrukturerade intervjuer utförts. Det empiriska materialet kommer att analyseras med hjälp av tre olika teorier, flerstegsmodellen, source credibility s

Trade unions have traditionally been key advocates for the Swedish welfare state. Yet, in recent decades, the Swedish welfare model has come under strain. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to explore what policies Swedish trade unions develop in relation to the changing Swedish welfare state, and what the reasons are behind these policies. This was carried out through semistructured interviews

The transition to more renewable energy such as wind, leads to a decreased inertia in the power system. As a consequence of this, disturbances lead to larger frequency deviations and the frequency stability of the system is worsened. Therefore, there is a surging interest to estimate the inertia in the power system. In this thesis, a novel method for inertia estimation is proposed and investigate
