The subject of this Master’s thesis is the management of electronic books at three Swedish public libraries. Current statistics about lending e-books have been gathered and supplemented by interviews with librarians and head librarians from the libraries in the study. Statistics and interviews are then analysed together with the library’s policy documents by using an institutional theory. The thes
Authors: Fanny Carlström - Lina Hansson Title: The collaboration within the transition of young offenders who serves a sentence at the closed institutional youth care (translated title). Supervisor: Anna Rypi The Swedish social service and the closed institutional youth care are obligated by law to cooperate during the execution of young offenders who serves a sentence at an institution. The aim
A significant part of IS systems implemented today introduce a mandatory use environment for their users, where daily tasks and responsibilities are dependent on or even impossible without the use of a specific system. This paper focuses on examining the relevance, importance and potential effects of user satisfaction in these kinds of environments, with the purpose of contributing to this previou
AimObesity is a stigmatised disease, and weight-related bullying is the most common form of victimisation. This study aimed to provide a nuanced understanding of adolescents’ experiences of such victimisation and related interventions.MethodsData were collected between April and October 2025 through semi-structured interviews and analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. Participants were Swedis
The purpose of the thesis is to assess whether or not the Security Council in four cases in the beginning of the nineties violated the UN Charter in its Chapter VII resolutions. In the theoretical chapter preceding the case study, limits on the Council's Chapter VII competence are identified in Articles 24, 1, 2 and 39. Important terms and sentences, such as ''threat to the peace'&
Coordination failure is stressed as one of the most critical causes to ineffective foreign aid. Budget support is argued to improve and facilitate coordination of foreign aid, why it is an increasingly used disbursement channel. However, there is little empirical studies of budget support and aid effectiveness. The purpose of this essay is to study if the use of budget support correlates with so
Title: Coming out process. A qualitative study about transgender people’s experiences of the workplace situation. Supervisor: Carina Tigervall Assesor: Anders Östnäs This is a qualitative study aimed to explore transgender experiences of the workplace situation. That is, whether a sex change, whether it is a legal medical or a social change of gender, has implications for Trans people in the workp
The plural -ar in smörgåsar for smörgås ‘sandwich’ is regular – even though gås ‘goose’, here used as a simplex, takes an irregular plural, gäss ‘geese’. Why is the form smörgäss not used? Similarly, for trefot, lit. three foot, ‘tripod’, neither trefotar nor the irregular trefötter seems right. To use an irregular plural in such compounds tends to evoke a core reading (“kärnbetydelse”) of the rig
The Hyogo and Sendai frameworks stress that risk assessments should inform plans. However, it is unclear how, in theory, risk assessments and plans are conceptually related and how, in practice, they inform each other. This study aims to fill this knowledge gap. Conceptually, it proposes an explicit link between risk assessments and plans via the capability of the responding organisation and its e
The presence or absence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) at the centre of Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) is still an open question. This is due to either observational restrictions or limitations in the dynamical modelling method; in this work, we explore the latter. Using a sample of high-end Monte Carlo simulations of GCs, with and without a central IMBH, we study the limitations of s
This paper asks whether moral preferences in eight medical dilemmas change as a function of how preferences are expressed, and how people choose when they are faced with two equally attractive help projects. In two large-scale studies, participants first read dilemmas where they “matched” two suggested helping projects (which varied on a single attribute) so that they became equally attractive. Th
The numerous interpretations of Marx’s economic theory can be usefully divided in two broad classes: real competition theory and monopolistic competition theory. Marxian geographers (inspired by Harvey) have applied the latter without discussing why they ignore the former. The problem is particularly salient when it comes to rent theory. Geographers following Harvey have famously ignored Marx’s ab
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in which oligodendrocytes, the CNS cells that stain most robustly for iron and myelin are the targets of injury. Metals are essential for normal CNS functioning, and metal imbalances have been linked to demyelination and neurodegeneration. Using a multidisciplinary approach involving synchro
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is an established treatment for hematologic and nonhematologic malignancies. Donor-derived immune cells can identify and attack host tumor cells, producing a graft-versus-tumor (GVT) effect that is crucial to the effectiveness of the transplantation therapy. CBLB502 is a novel agonist for TLR5 derived from Salmonella flagellin. On the basis of TLR5-med
