A discourse analysis was conducted using critical discourse psychology, Foucault's concept of power, and Hirdman's gender system the

In Northern Swedish, personal proper names are traditionally introduced by a morphologically distinct definite article, most known as the preproprial article (PPA). The use of the article in contemporary Swedish dialects is obscure, as research on the topic is scarce and mainly based on antiquated data. For some dialects, PPAs are occasionally said to be restricted to names of people personally kn

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur den pågående expansionen av den svenska dragscenen påverkar svenska dragqueens. Studien baseras på sex kvalitativa intervjuer med svenska dragqueens och tre deltagande observationer av draguppträdanden. Det empiriska materialet undersöks utifrån två teoretiska ramverk, subjektivitet och liminalitet. Genom studien framkommer det att dragscenen upplever e

Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature, is a valuable renewable resource due to its high phenolic compound content. Utilizing depolymerized lignin for the bioproduction of valuable industrial precursors such as muconic acid has garnered significant attention. In this study, several genetically modified strains of Pseudomonas putida were constructed to bioconvert vanillin and guaiacol

With fast technological development, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most revolutionary forces. Many organizations worldwide are adopting the technology, including the Swedish public sector and administration. Interviewing eight key informants who actively work with implementing AI into the Swedish public sector and administration structures, this thesis aims to investigate how they per

Denna kandidatuppsats fokuserar på påverkan som E-lärande och lösenordsstyrkemätare (LSM) har för att förbättra lösenordsstyrkan bland universitetsstudenter. Syftet med studien är att utforska hur dessa verktyg separat och i kombination påverkar användares lösenordsstyrka. Studien använder en kvasi-experimentell metod för att analysera hur dessa olika interventioner, i form av E-lärande och LSM, p

Digital technologies have significantly facilitated the creation and distribution of User Generated Content. Whereas the online environment offers promising opportunities for business and cultural development, it also carries important implications for EU copyright law. Whilst this topic has been explored in the literature, it is typically considered from the lens of rights holders, who often stru

Potential Dark Matter from strongly coupled gauge theory has been studied extensively in the past. However, in studies thus far, the combination of the phenomenological glueball state with the Linear sigma Model has yet to be explored. We provide the basis for a theory containing both the glueball and the sigma meson coupled to the Polyakov loop. Through considering only the lightest meson states

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, increasing with each year. AF is characterized by periods of rapid and irregular beating of the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. The disease often originates from ectopic beats generated by the pulmonary veins, activating the atria, creating short periods of AF. Without treatment the disease evolves, remodels the a

The recognition of honor-related violence has been emphasized in the media and through legal regulation during the last decades in Sweden. Honor oppression is often characterized by its cultural/religious roots and is found in patriarchal and collective societies. However, the regulations might have stigmatizing effects as they target certain communities in society. Previous research shows that ho

Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i

This thesis investigates the relationship between total household income and short-term fertility intentions in the contexts of Germany and Sweden. It contributes to current research by providing a micro-level analysis of each country individually and conducting a direct comparison. Little research has been done on the relationship between total household income, from all sources, and fertility in

In this thesis, the impact that sustainability ratings have on risk adjusted performance metrics such as the Sharpe and Treynor ratio will be evaluated. The authors employ the use of Morningstar's sustainability ratings, ranging from one to five “globes” in their measure of sustainability. An array of different types of funds will be used, these include equity, mutual, index and interest funds

This thesis examines how artificial intelligence is portrayed in the short story “Verde rojo anaranjado” by Mariana Enríquez. Using literary analysis grounded in David Roas's theory of the fantastic and Bernardo Kastrup's philosophy of Analytical Idealism, this study explores the narrative strategies used to create a dystopian and unsettling atmosphere, focusing on how these fantastical el

The purpose of this study is to ex

Generative AI (Gen AI) is rapidly transforming communication within organizations. While existing research delves into the ethical considerations and productivity impacts of Gen AI, a critical gap remains: how communication specialists, who play a vital role in organizational sensemaking, experience this change. This study addresses this gap by investigating how communication specialists from medi
