This thesis explores the positioning of internal crisis communication in relation to external communication, specifically within the context of governmental crisis response. Guided by the case of the Lebanon crisis in 2024, this study investigates how crisis experts from a European Ministry of Foreign Affairs interpret internal communication across the three phases of crises, drawing on the Rhetor
The 1952 General Plan for Stockholm stands among Sweden’s most ambitious postwar planning documents, often cited as evidence for or against the large-scale ambitions of Welfare State modernism. Viewed through the lens of assemblage thinking, the plan does not appear as a self-referential, determinist blueprint subsuming social space. Instead, it is read as what this chapter calls a model assemblag
Objective Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare disease that can result in severe bleeding in a fetus or newborn, including intracranial hemorrhage. Maternal-fetal human platelet antigen (HPA)-1a incompatibility is a prerequisite to maternal HPA-1a alloimmunization, which may result in FNAIT. The risk of HPA-1a alloimmunization is approximately 25-times higher in HPA-1
This thesis presents a case study on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in hydrology using two approaches. This topic was chosen since AI is an important tool, and water is a vital resource. The first case is on leakage detection with artificial data, while the second is on precipitation prediction with real data. For leakage detection, a random forest (RF) model and an artificial neu
Migration has been a contested issue in Swedish politics over the past decade, and media coverage has repeatedly sparked debate about the impartiality of Sveriges Television (SVT). Using large language models (LLMs) as coding instruments, this study examines how migration has been framed in SVT Nyheter, a major Swedish public service news outlet, between 2014 and 2024. Rather than explaining causa
The concept of the Viking has existed since the 7th C, while the term ‘Viking Age’ was coined in the early 19th C. The Vikings and their era represent a shared vision of a glorious past, originating from the of Romantic ear and associated with Scandinavism. Within this shared concept, the Nordic countries have been able to project their own versions of identity: in Denmark, the king or farmer; in
The traditional restrictive attitude towards claim for compensation about non-pecuniary harms in both cause law and legislation become weaker even if the theoretically and practically reason behind the old exception-construction remain. This reason can best be explained by the thesis about incommensurability when it comes to compensate for some losses that money cannot compensate. To explain why t
This paper suggests an infrastructure perspective, as suggested by Star and Bowker (2006), as an analytical framework for studying the research evaluation landscape. An infrastructure is suggested to be understood, not as a concrete technology, but as a system of contextual factors including ‘Actors/Stakeholders’, ‘Technical systems’, and ‘Evaluation practices’. How the framework can be operationa
Host societies’ attitudes towards immigrants in Europe has continuously been getting attention in recent decades of increased levels of globalization, as attitudes determine the levels of immigrants’ integration. This, in turn, has huge influence on social cohesion so important for the functioning of peaceful and just societies. While Sweden has proved itself as an exception both in terms of open
Personality tests are a common tool in recruitment. A problem that may arise is candidates who adjust their answers in a socially desirable way to improve their chances of employment. The research question of this study was: “How the reporting of personality traits is affected by manipulation of the content of a fictional job advertisement and can this be interpreted as socially desirable respondi
The central issue discussed in this thesis is the “essayistic mode”, which is usually described as a set of themes and characterization of the traditional written essay. In our more digitalized world today, it has been argued that some of these essayistic traits could be identified in other types of media, for example in essay films. Since the beginning of the 1990th century the capacity of essay
This paper legally tests federated learning as a machine learning technique, which guarantees a high level of privacy. This paper provides answers to all legal aspects of this technical development as the first legal paper in this area, while challenging vague GDPR requirements. This method showed its supremacy over conventional anonymization techniques and other machine learning techniques. It mi
The purpose of the research was to enrich the understanding of the process of corporatization of higher education and to demonstrate the importance of studying identity work. We conducted an inductive case study research basing our methods and methodology on hermeneutics and an interpretive paradigm. We developed our argumentation on the basis of interpretive and critical theory regarding identity
During the 1950’s and 1960’s an unexplainable phenomenon arose amongst middle class women in North America. Women in the suburbs experienced a feeling of emptiness even though they believed they had everything they could ever ask for in life. This phenomenon is covered by Betty Friedan in The Feminine Mystique (1963) where she discusses the identity crisis and loss of self that many women experien
The paper reviewed a collection of studies from 2015-2025 in Sweden on municipal organizational change, with the aim of discussing challenges and benefits during modern change processes and connecting it to previously existing theories. The results showed that there is some conflict between different governance models (mainly NPM and TBG), that TBG can be implemented differently in different munic
