Föreliggande uppsats undersöker hur tystnad gestaltas i Maja Lee Langvads Tolk (2024). Genom att gå i dialog med Mara Lees avhandling i litterär gestaltning När Andra skriver: skrivande som motstånd, ansvar och tid (2014) belyses hur tystnaden i Lee Langvads roman kan förstås som något rumsligt, relationellt och tidsligt. Från Lees avhandling hämtas begrepp som Andra, temporalitet och förskjutning
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis has been to examine if and how Swedish SMEs use post audit reviews to learn from their capital investment decisions. Methodology: This explorative study applies a qualitative research approach, using both primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected through semi structured interviews with six managers across six different Swedish SMEs, while secon
This thesis examines how insights from cognitive science can inform the design of self-study training materials to reduce cognitive load and enhance sales onboarding in complex technical domains. The study was conducted at a global company specializing in industrial sensor solutions, focusing on machine vision sales training. The study was conducted in three phases. First, a pre-study mapped the
In today’s technology-driven classrooms, maintaining student focus is increasingly challenging. This study investigates the impact of "Focus room", a digital tool developed by Trelson, designed to reduce digital distractions and support sustained attention during class. Through an observational study in a Swedish school, four 8th grade student classes were observed before and during the
Europe has undergone major changes since the beginning of the cold war and the last decade has proven to be a very challenging chapter. To reach a consensus, EU’s member states would have to cooperate, but the tools to achieve this were absent. With the introduction of the Treaty of Amsterdam the member states had to submit to the ruling of the European Parliament. The result was significantly str
Social and climate-related challenges are closely intertwined. Existing research has shown that community’s ability to recover from extreme weather events is largely influenced by social vulnerabilities and societal resilience. In response, environmental justice has emerged as a potential tool to address these dual challenges in urban planning. Within this context, strategies such as urban densifi
This thesis examines whether ideological shifts in Swedish municipal councils affect local taxation and spending. Using close elections from 1998 to 2018 and a left-right index based on party seat shares and economic positions, it applies a multi-score regression discontinuity design with instrumental variables. The study finds that while tax rates and core welfare spending are unaffected, a right
Climate change and socio-economic developments are projected to intensify land use pressures in northern latitudes, potentially driving agricultural expansion into Arctic and boreal ecosystems. This thesis examines the consequences of future climate and land use change on ecosystem services in the European Arctic, focusing on vegetation dynamics, carbon storage, crop productivity, and biophysical
Portfolio optimization is a central problem in finance, with traditional approaches of- ten relying on forecasts of expected returns and covariances. With the growing adoption of machine learning in finance, return forecasting using ML techniques has become in- creasingly common. More recently, an alternative approach has been proposed where the portfolio weights are learned directly, bypassing th
Policy implementation in large organisations can be viewed as a complex endeavour, especially concerning human rights and recruitment fairness. While Malmö municipality adopts a human rights policy, the challenge of translating these principles into daily operations, especially within the recruitment process, remains a critical area for research. This study analyses how HR-practitioners in Malmö m

When people (repeatedly) choose among items characterized by multiple attributes ( price, quality, brand etc..) they often over-or under-weight certain attributes depending on which features stand out in the choice set. Salience theory explains how these distortions arise in a static setting. I extend the existing salience theoretic model for deterministic choice to a setting in which the decision
Areas experiencing conflict are challenging to examine due to limited accessibility. Remote sensing is a valuable tool that can be used to evaluate the effects of conflict on the environment. Northwestern Syria hosts most of the country’s remaining Mediterranean forests, an ecosystem that is ecologically significant for regulatory ecosystem services. Since 2011, Syria has experienced conflict, whi
Climate change is expected to alter soil nutrient availability and microbial community functionality. Inputs of labile carbon (C) from root exudates can stimulate the decomposition of soil organic matter (SOM) in a phenomenon known as “priming”; driven by microbial demand for limiting resources. Climate-driven changes in resource availability may therefore influence soil susceptibility to priming,
Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att förklara vikten med projektering för demontering så att byggsektorn kan nå de uppsatta klimatmålen. Rapporten ska ge en övergripande kunskap kring ämnet och även beskriva vilka påföljder implementering av PfD leder till samt hur det kan förändra och påverka byggsektorn till det bättre. Problemställning: Klimatavtrycket är idag en central del inom byggbr
Heart failure is one of the most common causes of hospitalization in Sweden, and 30\% of all heart failure patients need unplanned readmissions within three months, creating a burden on the healthcare system. This project was conducted within the healthcare model "Hospital at Home", where there is currently no systematic follow-up method of heart failure patients. By monitoring those wit
This paper investigates gender dynamics within a sixth-grade English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom (approximately 12-year-old students) in Sweden, focusing on how gender is performed and perceived by students and their teacher during classroom interactions. Grounded in the compulsory school curriculum’s mandate to actively promote and embody gender equality, and addressing the scarcity of
Sweden has seen a rise in firearm-related violence in recent years, and Malmö is one of three cities that has experienced a significant increase in these crimes. This study isolates the role of socioeconomic variables as determinants of firearm-related violence, exploring whether socioeconomic disadvantage independently influences the spatial distribution of these incidents in Malmö. The spatial c
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global health threat, and once curable infections are now becoming life-threatening. Still, the discovery of new antibiotics continues to decline. Targeted protein degradation potentially offers a novel antibacterial strategy by leveraging cellular degradation pathways to eliminate bacterial proteins. BacPROTACs represent a promising approach, as they utilize
