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. Data
Genom våra år av sångstudier har vi intresserat oss för arbetet med att skapa uttryck, något som vi upplever har fått stå tillbaka till förmån för sångtekniskt arbete. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur sångare kan arbeta med att skapa uttryck i sång utifrån dels ett sångtekniskt perspektiv men även utifrån arbete med interpretation. Vår undersökning består av två studier: den för
Forests are critical carbon sinks that mitigate anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, a primary driver of climate change. However, the impact that forest management methods have on the ecosystem carbon exchange is under debate and the potential carbon sink strength of forests is still uncertain. In this study, annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and forest age data from rotation forests (RFs
Driven by sustainability goals and regulatory pressure, the packaging industry is transitioning from complex multilayer structures toward mono material solutions that are more easily recyclable. This shift presents challenges, especially in high-performance applications such as microwaveable ready meals, where packaging must endure sealing, cooking, and reheating processes without compromising saf
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka kvinnors roll i hedersrelaterade kontexter. Studien fokuserar på hur kvinnor kan ses som både offer och förövare inom hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Studien är baserad på fem kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma inom området. Studiens resultat analyseras med hjälp av teorin om internalisering, symboliskt våld samt Foucaults maktteori. Resultatet be
The HIBEAM experiment ventures to measure the theorized coupling between neutron spins and an effective oscillating field caused by axion-like particles. The experiment will use Ramsey interferometry to probe shifts in neutron polarization due to discrepancies in the Larmor frequency of the traveling neutron. To realize a successful experiment, a prototype beamline named the short-HIBEAM will be b
The Koenigsegg Variera represents a bold new interpretation of everyday performance, fusing the brand’s uncompromising engineering ethos with a visionary approach to electric mobility. Conceived as a dual-purpose vehicle, the Variera seamlessly transitions between autonomous driving and Koenigsegg’s established performance driving, capturing the essence of Koenigsegg’s performance spirit. Designed
This thesis examines how gay male fans in mainland China understand their admiration for Taiwanese female Mandopop singers, and how they navigate the political controversies that surrounding Taiwanese female singers on Weibo. Drawing on qualitative data from eight semi-structured interviews, it applies a dual theoretical framework—Queer Cultural Decoding and Celebrity Politics under Digital Author
Inledning: Utvecklingen inom den offentliga sektorn har lett fram till att mellanchefer möter höga arbetskrav med otillräckliga arbetsresurser. Rapporter visar på en ökning i sjukskrivningar som en följd av stressrelaterade diagnoser. I rollen som mellanchef ingår att ta hänsyn till organisatoriska mål tillsammans med politiska beslut och samtidigt hantera intressenter. Detta bidrar till att orsak
This thesis aims to investigate the water balance, seasonality, and to speculate about the future of Great Salt Lake, Utah, and more specifically the south part of Great Salt Lake, during a study period ranging from 2004 to 2024. The reason this is important is because the lake is a keystone in the western United States and serves as an important food source for millions of migratory birds as well
This thesis examines the impact of asexual identification on individuals in Japan. It deploys Identity Process Theory to analyze self-identification processes and argues that the unique experience of asexual individuals requires divergence as a supplementary process. In addition, it examines the threats that self-identified asexual individuals face in their environment and the strategies that they
Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur unga konsumenter i åldern 18-25 förstår Klarnas marknadskommunikation på Instagram. Med fokus på företagets visuella och kreativa uttryck, såsom färg, humor och livsstil symbolik, analyseras hur dessa kommunikationsstrategier påverkar ungas konsumtionsbeteende och kreditbeslut. Studien bygger på en netnografisk analys av sju instagraminlägg samt semistruktur
Deklinationsdata från sedimentära borrkärnor från sjöarna Kälksjön, Gyltigesjön, Byestadsjön, Mötterudstjärnet, Furskogstjärnet, Frängsjön och Särsjön visar västlig riktning i den övre delen. Denna västliga riktning följer inte paleomagnetiska modeller och är missvisande. Med hjälp av Microsoft Excel har dessa missvisningar korrigerats och använts för att skapa en svensk version av FENNOSTACK, kalDeclination data from cores from swedish lake sediments show a westward declination in the upper part of most cores. This does not align with paleomagnetic models and is therefore considered false. Using Microsoft Excel these false values have been corrected and used in a swedish version of FENNOSTACK called SWESTACK. SWESTACK gives a mean value with 95\% confidence of the declination over the per
In recent years, long-acting drugs have emerged as a significant advancement in the treatment of chronic diseases. Camurus is a pharmaceutical company specializing in this area, with products based on FluidCrystal® technology—a lipid-based injectable drug delivery technology that, upon contact with water or physiological fluids, undergoes a phase transition into a liquid crystalline gel depot.
