With limited phosphorus supplies there is a growing need of recovering phosphorus from sewage sludge. Potentially reduced risks of heavy metal and organic micropollutant contamination makes sludge biochar, a product of pyrolysed sewage sludge, a promising alternative as an organic fertilizer. The effect of pyrolysis temperature, treatment methods and sludge characteristics on sludge biochar conten
This study examined how sycophantic versus non-sycophantic AI behavior influences user trust and whether narcissism and need for cognitive closure shape these effects. In a 2 × 2 between-subjects online experiment, 318 adult AI users viewed a short video of a chat interaction between a user and an AI assistant that either validated the user’s position (sycophantic) or offered corrective or balance
This thesis examines how Cambodia’s legitimacy is communicated and negotiated through nation-branding-related foreign policy communication during the Cambodia-Thailand border conflict. The study treats foreign policy communication during crisis as a nation-branding site through which states project image, values, and narratives of rightful action. While nation branding is often viewed as a strateg
Inledning: Psykologisk trygghet är ett centralt begrepp inom organisationsforskning och handlar om medarbetares upplevelse av att uttrycka idéer, ställa frågor och erkänna misstag utan rädsla för negativa konsekvenser. Tidigare forskning kring detta har främst fokuserat på kunskapsintensiva arbetsmiljöer, medan kundnära serviceyrken fått mindre uppmärksamhet, vilket utgör en forskningslucka som de
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly employed in crisis communication to assist with tasks like monitoring, analysis, and message creation. However, its expanding use raises ethical and responsibility concerns, especially when AI-supported communication results in problematic outcomes. This thesis aims to provide new knowledge and enhance the understanding of how Estonian communication pro
Med en krympande industriell arbetsstyrka och den snabba utvecklingen inom artificiell intelligens, börjar många företag rikta blickarna mot intelligenta humanoida robotar för att understödja dem i deras verksamhet. Denna uppsats utforskar dagens landskap av humanoida robotar och skisserar hur Saab Naval kan påbörja processen av att integrera dem i deras skeppsvarvsproduktion. Nya framsteg och nuvWith a shrinking industrial workforce and the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, many companies are starting to look toward intelligent humanoid robots to aid them in their operations. This thesis explores the current landscape of industrial humanoid robots and outlines how Saab Naval can start the process of integrating them into their shipyard production. Recent advancements and curre
Financial markets exhibit time-varying volatility and cross-asset correlation. To construct and optimize a risk-adjusted portfolio and account for underlying collinearity between se- curities, a good understanding of these two dynamics is important. In this study global equity indices are modeled with the purpose of improving the forecasting accuracy of time-varying correlations, as well as distin
Background: Heavy‑duty road freight accounts for a significant share of global carbon emissions, yet the industry remains structurally inefficient, characterized by low margins and fragmented fleets. While electrification is essential for achieving climate targets, the transition introduces additional operational complexities, raising important concerns regarding profitability and scalability. Pu
Biological phosphorus removal in cold-climate regions is historically challenged by suppressed kinetic rates and severe biomass washout during spring snowmelt events. This study evaluates the performance, resilience, and kinetic limitations of a pilot-scale Sequencing Batch Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (SB-MBBR) for Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal (EBPR) un-der low temperatures (8.3–9.6°C) at
While innovation diffusion research has extensively examined how innovations spread and are adopted, significantly less attention has been paid to what organizations strategically do once peak adoption has been reached and markets become saturated. The purpose of this study is to explore how Swedish organizations navigate the strategic tensions that arise in this post- adoption phase, guided by th
Ultrashort broadband pulses can exhibit spatio-temporal couplings (STCs), where the spatial and temporal properties of the beam are introduced by dispersive optical elements. These couplings, including spatial chirp, pulse-front tilt, and pulse-front curvature, can degrade pulse focusing and affect experiments using broadband ultrashort pulses. This project investigates STCs introduced by optical
This study developed and evaluated a process-based hourly winter wheat model for harvest area 1214 in Skåne, southern Sweden, during 2004-2022. The model was calibrated using 2021/22 field observations from Alnarp and then applied in an ensemble hindcast with hourly meteorological forcing and regional yield statistics. Calibration improved the simulation of crop development, reducing LAI RMSE by 7
The thesis explores the associative patterns between trust in science and scientists and political regimes across different educational groups in pre- and intra-pandemic periods. Using a multilevel design with regression-based methods on the sample (N = 168,035 two survey waves) with observations from 110 countries, I find that the relationship between political regime and trust in science is educ
Uppsatsen analyserar svensk medias framställning av det nya lagförslaget om en sänkt straffmyndighetsålder. Uppsatsen ser till hur detta nya lagförlsag diskuteras i 10 utvalda mediakanaler och hur detta kan medföra en eventuell moralpanik. Genom uppsatsen kunde vi konstatera hur de valda mediekanalerna både presenterar en kritisk och en framhävande framställning av det nya lagförlaget, men där det
Titel Avfallshantering i byggprojekt-Hur väl lagar och riktlinjer följs i praktiken Författare Ellinor Rosengren och Gustav Eriksson Handledare Radhlinah Aulin, Universitetslektor, Docent, Avdelningen för Byggproduktion Examinator Rikard Sundling, Universitetslektor, Biträdande universitetslektor, Avdelningen för Byggproduktion Syfte och mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur lagar, r
The Swedish defence market constitutes a relevant context for studying innovation and innovation collaboration. The market is shaped by increasing demands for technological renewal and collaboration, while state-dominated demand, regulation, secrecy requirements and a specification-based procurement logic create particular conditions for innovation activities. Against this background, this study e
Examensarbetets titel: Kampen om förtroende: En dokumentstudie av blankningsrapporter, företagsrespons och det kommunikativa kriget däremellan.

The increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in advertising has transformed creative production while simultaneously raising concerns about transparency, authenticity and consumer perception. With the growing integration of GenAI into advertising, understanding how consumers respond to AI disclosure has become increasingly important. This study investigates how AI disclosure in
This study examines how Love Island Sweden Season five functions as a norm-producing arena for gender through a thematic analysis with a deductive approach of four episodes. The aim is to explore how the program both reproduces and challenges contemporary gender norms, and how participants' actions are shaped within these structures. The findings show that the program does not primarily enforc
The rise in sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the most substantial impacts of climate change, as ocean warming is predicted to increase by 0.86-2.89˚C by 2100. Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests in Southern California are sensitive to changes in ocean temperatures, with a thermal threshold of 18–25˚C. They are ecologically significant because they provide many ecosystem services and s
