The snitch is a well known figure, often associated with deceit and betrayal. It appears in everyday life, embedded in joking jargons as well as in serious discussions of loyalty. Perhaps most significantly, the snitch symbolizes the culture of silence within criminal gangs, breaking the unwritten rule of not speaking to authorities. This thesis investigates how the figure of the snitch, and the a
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utarbeta ett konkret förslag för logistisk implementering av industriella biometananläggningar i sydvästra Sverige. Genom att utnyttja restflöden från jord- och skogsbruk – såsom halm, GROT (grenar och toppar) samt såg- och kutterspån – undersöks möjligheten att ersätta fossil naturgas i det sydvästsvenska gasnätet med 100% förnybar biometan (uppgradera
Den här studien ämnade att undersöka huruvida olika musikgenrer; blues , klassisk musik och rockmusik, samt utan musik (kontrollgrupp), påverkar prestation i matematik. 52 personer deltog i studien och de blev alla tilldelade en av de fyra musikgenrerna genom en mellangruppsdesign. Studien bestod av två test. Första testet var ett standardiserat matematiktest bestående av 12 frågor (refereras till
In today's society a technological revolution is taking place and one example of this is animal supervision which is beginning to move from manual methods to more technical monitoring solutions. Digital animal monitoring is a field under development and has attracted interest among both livestock owners and researchers. The technology includes for example integrated systems with cameras and GP
The growing accumulation of end-of-life wind turbine blades (WTBs) presents a challenge due to their increased usage around the world and complex composite structure. Mechanical and thermal recycling techniques often fail to completely recover both the matrix and the embedded fibers without significant degradation or environmental burden. In this thesis, solvolysis is investigated as a promising r
This thesis investigates the resilience of labour migration from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan to Russia in the aftermath of the 2014-2015 rouble crisis, despite a significant deterioration in economic incentives. In addition to addressing this empirical puzzle, the study is motivated by the need for deeper theorization of migration persistence, employing an adapted version of Hein de Haa
Abstract Title: The Power of Devotion: The Warm Embrace of Brand Control Authors: Axel Fredlund and Johannes Gustavsson Supervisor: John Murray Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Master’s Programme, Managing People, Knowledge and Change, 15 ECTS Purpose: This thesis aimed to explore how subjects of brand-centered control perform emotional labour. The focus of our study is how brand-centered
I takt med att organisationer blir alltmer datadrivna ökar beroendet av tillförlitlig information för att kunna fatta välgrundade beslut. Särskilt kritisk är datakvaliteten när det gäller master-data, dvs. stabil och affärskritisk information om exempelvis produkter, kunder eller material, som används tvärs över system, avdelningar och affärsprocesser. Syftet med denna studie är därmed att undersö
Thai Boys’ Love (BL) media has traveled far beyond its origins. This thesis explored how Thai BL media, especially BL series, has introduced Thailand to foreign fans who have become international students in Thailand. It considered the BL phenomenon from its Japanese Yaoi adaptation to its evolution into mainstream Thai entertainment. Through qualitative interviews with international and exchange
Kidney transplants are the most common type of organ transplant globally. While immunosuppressants targeting the adaptive immune systems have been successful in improving short-term outcomes, the role of the innate immune system is relatively less studied, and has come under attention as a potential driver of the inflammation causing poor long-term outcomes. In this thesis, sparse statistical meth
Heat-health early warning systems are increasingly adopted as adaptation measures to reduce the health impact of heatwaves. Styria was the first Austrian state to implement such a system in 2011, but its effectiveness had remained unassessed. This study employs a difference-in-differences approach to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the Styrian heat early warning system on all-cause mortality
Accurately predicting project duration is vital for effective management in large-scale engineering and product development. This thesis analyzes a dataset from Ericsson, covering over 8,000 projects from 2016 to 2025, to develop machine learning models for predicting project duration across various telecommunications programs. It also identifies key features that influence project timelines. Aft
In 2024, the Lok Sabha Elections in India had unexpected results for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Many in the country expected a landslide victory, however due to the loss in a key state, Uttar Pradesh, the party failed to secure a majority in the Indian parliament. This thesis is an investigation into what could have happened in Uttar Pradesh by doing a qualitative content analysis, using NVIVO, t
Med en förväntad fortsatt höjning av havsvattennivån och med en exploatering av kustområden, finns ett behov av att undersöka effekterna av kustöversvämning under storm i kombination av förhöjd havsnivå. Detta för att höja kunskaperna inom detta område inför framtida utmaningar, även om denna kombination ej är vanligt förekommande på den skånska östkusten för närvarande. Den här studien använder dWith an expected continuation of a sea level rise in the era of climate change and with an exploitation of our coastal areas, there is a need to examine the impact of coastal flooding during a storm event with high sea level, to increase our knowledge for the future. Even if an event with this combination is unusual for the Scanian coastline along the Baltic sea, the impact can be severe. This stu
Denna studie undersöker klädes-secondhandshopping som en praktik i fysiska butiker. Fokus ligger på vad konsumenter faktiskt gör i butiksmiljön och vilka faktorer som formar dessa handlingar. Till skillnad från tidigare forskning som ofta betonar attityder och motivationer, utgår studien från ett praktikteoretiskt perspektiv där materialitet, kompetens och delad mening står i centrum. Genom en kv
Forest ecosystems are important actors in climate change mitigation strategies through their abilities to act as both carbon sinks and sources. The commonly used forest management strategy of clearcutting has been suggested to be paired with large greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the need for research on the climate effect from alternative management strategies. Rumperöd forest is managed thro
This thesis examines the adoption of LLM-powered chatbots in Nordic insurance companies, comparing them to traditional rule-based systems. While LLMs enable flexible, human-like interactions, their use in regulated industries remains cautious. Using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and five interviews with industry professionals, the study identifies legal accountability, pr
The goal of the present work is to investigate possible improvements to established shell-model interactions concerning atomic nuclei in the mass A=90, N=Z regime. These investigations consist of generating energy spectra for the isotopes Pd-94, Cd-94, Ag-95, and Cd-95 close to the proton drip line, as well as an investigation of the transition probabilities between selected states in Ag-95.
