This master’s thesis explores the objectives of packaging regulations and translates them into guidelines for a company’s packaging decision-making process. The thesis was done in collaboration with Axis Communications AB, where the current packaging practices were analyzed. This was followed by analyzing the requirements of packaging regulations in the EU (such as PPWD and upcoming PPWR) and othe
Denna studie undersöker hur behandlingspersonalen, den primära arbetsgruppen på Statens institutionsstyrelse som jobbar med nära klientkontakt, upplever sina arbetsförhållanden och sin arbetsroll. Mot bakgrund av den begränsade forskningen kring arbetsgruppen och deras förhållanden, syftar studien till att synliggöra behandlingspersonalens subjektiva upplevelser av sin livsvärld.

Healthcare professionals frequently request competence development regarding the implications of Parkinson’s disease for those who are affected and their special needs. New employees at nursing homes are often taught by experienced healthcare staff, but there is no disease-specific-education. Consequently, there is no system that ensures a standardized level of competence within and between health
Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in up to 5% of worldwide pregnancies. It is a complex disease characterised by sudden onset hypertension, and it is harmful to the mother as well as the growing baby, accounting for 40% of fetal deaths worldwide. The disease can be divided into early and late-onset PE, defined as diagnosis earlier or later than 34 weeks of gestation. Despite decades of research, the cause
This thesis explores the potential of incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into User Experience (UX) Research Operations (ResearchOps) within an organisational context. Design Science Research (DSR) was employed to develop and evaluate a method that incorporates AI to enhance user research activities. The research involved conducting qualitative interviews with UX professionals at Alpha to u
This study assesses the Vård- och omsorgscollege (VOC) program in Sweden, which integrates the skill demands of local healthcare employers with local vocational education. Utilizing a staggered Difference-in-Difference approach, this study reveals that the program has significantly reduced youth unemployment and enhanced the labor supply of assistant nurses, with a pronounced impact on female part
Högerpopulismens framväxt under de senaste decennierna är idag ett faktum. Även i Sverige har denna ideologiska familj nått nya höjder på grund av Sverigedemokraternas historiskt snabba valframgångar och med SDs intåg i riksdagen 2010 introducerades även ett nytt begrepp i den svenska politiken, nämligen svenskfientlighet. Denna uppsats har, genom en kritisk diskursanalys, studerat SDs användning
This thesis explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance practices within leading Nordic companies, focusing on Ericsson, Vestas, and Ørsted. Through a qualitative analysis supplemented by quantitative metrics, the research examines how regulatory environments, stakeholder engagements, and innovative practices influence the adoption and implementation of ESG strategies. The re
In this thesis, we present the efforts towards finding an improved implementation of the newly proposed Born Spreading method for reduction of negative S weights in the MC@NLO matching prescription. The improved implementations are tested on various LHC processes with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (MG5_aMC) and compared to default MG5_aMC, 2×2×1 folding and default Born Spreading. The runtime in each step and
This thesis investigates the melting process of recycled heavily oxidized car chillers, focusing on the economic viability and environmental impact of recirculating secondary low alloy aluminum products into production. Utilizing practical insights from Company BRYNE AB and their LOOP technology, the study addresses the challenges in measuring oxides and impurities and trace elements during the me
In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Dobbs in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision eliminated the almost 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion and automatically activated trigger laws imposing immediate abortion bans in 12 states. Previous research suggests that legalization of abortion leads to higher female labor force parti
In preparation for quantum attacks on current cryptographic primitives, efforts are being made to find ways to construct new primitives. While quantum computers are not yet capable of breaking the keys used in modern parameter selection, efforts are still being made to establish new primitives not vulnerable to any known quantum attacks. These newly proposed solutions range from theoretical constr
The city of Milan stands today as a prominent model of sustainable urban development. Yet, beneath its allure lies a paradox: the quest for 'green' and 'smart' development has exacerbated privatization and fueled debates on green gentrification, social equity, and urban accessibility. This research explores the emerging impacts of large-scale green urbanization intervention in the
Despite societal discussions around feminist topics and increasing desire for stories centered on women, female characters in films still remain underrepresented. The Bechdel test, which evaluates female representation by requiring that two named female characters have a conversation about something other than a man, serves as a measure of this disparity. This study investigates the relationship b
Rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder är väletablerad inom den svenska arbetsrätten och utgör en betydande del av den svenska modellen. Detta utmärker sig från många andra länder, där rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder inte är lika vidsträckt. Stridsrätten har däremot varit ett omstritt ämne och frågan om huruvida rätten att vidta stridsåtgärder, i synnerhet sympatiåtgärder, bör begränsas har lyfts i olikaThe right to industrial action is well established within Swedish labour law and constitutes a significant part of the Swedish model. This distinguishes Sweden from many other countries, where the right of industrial action is not as extensive. However, the issue of the right to take industrial action, especially secondary actions, has been contentious, and the question of whether such rights shou
As Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) glasses continue to advance, becoming more compact and user-friendly, certain computationally demanding tasks are being offloaded to edge networks or the cloud. This shift, while enhancing the capabilities of AR/MR glasses, will introduce a new challenge—latency. Latency occurs when there is a need to transmit data to a remote processing unit, perfo
Family centers have undergone a strong expansion for families with children in Sweden and represent a large part of the health promotion and prevention work. At the same time, difficulties are described in reaching target groups such as foreign-born parents, parents with a lack of trust in social services, parents with mental illness, or disabilities, and co-parents. The purpose of this study was
Den svenska byggbranschen har de senaste åren varit dynamisk och präglad av en rad utmaningar och förändringar. Efter en lång period av högkonjunktur vände trenden mot lågkonjunktur 2021, med minskad efterfrågan på byggprojekt och färre investeringsmöjligheter. Byggbranschen har påverkats av faktorer som inflation, stigande räntor och geopolitiska händelser som bidragit till ökade byggkostnader ocIn recent years, the Swedish construction industry has been dynamic and characterized by a range of challenges and changes. After a long period of economic growth, the trend turned towards a recession in 2021, with decreased demand for development projects and less financing opportunities among investors. The construction industry has been affected by factors such as inflation, rising interest ra
This study examines the challenges Sweden faces in implementing legislation against human trafficking for sexual purposes, analyzing the issue through conflict theory and feminist perspectives. Employing qualitative content analysis, the research identifies and categorizes causes such as demand, misogyny, inadequate legislation, and socioeconomic vulnerability. The primary research questions addre
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Military Combat Decision-Making Processes (MCDMP) has been capturing the attention of numerous nations and international organisations. This thesis explores the complex realm of military decision-making, often marked by high-stakes situations and time constraints, which can lead to cognitive biases and heuristic-driven errors. Adding new technol
