This qualitative study explores how consumers perceive femvertising in relation to authenticity and the risk of femwashing within the framework of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Based on a social constructivist view, the research combines a content analysis of four digital commercials, with a thematic analysis of ten semi-structured interviews with male and female participants aged 20-31.
This study explores how power influences the process of creative synthesis within organizational settings. While previous research has emphasized the value of diverse perspectives for creativity, less attention has been given to how power dynamics influences which ideas are heard, enacted, and legitimized. Drawing on Harvey’s (2014) model of creative synthesis and Fleming and Spicer’s (2014) four
The master’s thesis includes a torsional vibrations analysis of an engine crankshaft and transmission in a hypercar. A torsional model is implemented in order to analyze how excitations produced by the engine affect the vibrational dynamics of the system. This is done by analyzing resonance frequencies and response amplitudes at critical speeds. A frequency-domain driven Python model is built in p
This study aimed to examine which organizational demands social workers experience in their work with women exposed to intimate partner violence and how these demands influence their professional discretion. The study was conducted as a quantitative survey targeting social workers in Sweden working with intimate partner violence. A total of 58 responses were collected. The results show that high w
Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att analysera om det föreslagna auktionssystemet i SOU 2024:89 kan utgöra ett ändamålsenligt verktyg för att hantera de brister som finns i dagens regelverk för havsbaserad vindkraft, med särskilt fokus på intresseavvägningen och intressekonflikten mellan riksintresset för totalförsvaret och riksintresset för energiutvinning. Rättsutredningen visar att det nuvarThis thesis examines the proposed auction system for offshore wind power in Sweden (SOU 2024:89) and its potential to address structural deficiencies in the current regulatory framework. The analysis focuses on how the system may affect the legal balancing of conflicting national interests under Chapter 3 of the Environmental Code, particularly between energy production and national defence. The
This thesis examines how variation in European states’ military expenditure after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 can be understood through geographic proximity to Russia, NATO membership and threat perception. The study combines a quantitative analysis of 39 European states during the period 2008–2024 with qualitative case studies of Poland, Portugal and Hungary. The theoretical f
This thesis examines whether Directive (EU) 2019/2121 ('Mobility Directive') reduces legal fragmentation in the field of cross-border conversions. Using a doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, it analyses the EU framework governing cross-border conversions and compares its implementation in Germany and Denmark. The analysis focuses on three areas in which the Directive leaves Membe
In a saturated digital marketplace, brands increasingly rely on storytelling to fos-ter WOM advocacy. However, it remains unclear whether storytelling directly triggers advocacy or if cognitive attitudes mediate this relationship. This study investigates the psychological pathway to brand advocacy by integrating the vis-ual, narrative, and symbolic dimensions of brand storytelling with Ajzen’s (19
Neural network approaches have been demonstrated to work quite well to solve partial differential equations in practice. In this context approaches like physics-informed neural networks and the Deep Ritz method have become popular. In this paper, we propose a similar approach to solve an infinite-dimensional total variation minimization problem using neural networks. We illustrate that the resulti
The study examines the role of sugar as embedded in society from the perspective of social constructionism. The health effects of sugar are an everyday phenomenon whose effects often remain invisible but have significant impact on societal structures and the individual level. The study is a case study analysing how Nestlé, and social movements, Action on Sugar and Foodrise construct meanings aroun
The correspondence between galaxy major mergers and starburst activity is well established observationally and in simulations of low-redshift galaxies. However, the evolution of the properties of interactions and of the galaxies involved suggests that the starburst response of galaxies to merger events could vary across cosmic time. Using the vintergatan cosmological zoom-in simulation of a Milky
This special issue contains a collection of papers that study how children are affected by their sibship size, using anthropometric data. The varied results provide a wealth of new knowledge and show that this influence is context-specific. In this paper I discuss the methodological challenges that we will encounter continuing research on resource dilution in families. The most important challenge
The research presented in this paper is based on interviews with 51 employees from 51 different organizations (including private and public sectors). Employees were interviewed more than once, over a period of 6 months, each interview lasted between 30 min to 1 h. The discussion in this paper is based on interviews during sessions which were explicitly dedicated to Information Systems and Cybersec
One of the most frequent elements of a funeral inscription is chronological data concerning the biography of the diseased. The present paper focuses on time-related collocations used in Neo-Latin funerary inscriptions of Sweden. Unlike medieval inscriptions, the length of the life lived and duration of important offices held are often indicated, sometimes approximately. The classical dating with K
