This study aimed to investigate how students at Lund University discuss dating culture, gender norms, power relations, and ideals, while highlighting similarities and differences between female and male students’ reasoning. The study employed a qualitative approach, and empirical data were collected through four gender-segregated focus groups with a total of 14 participants. The material was analy
Mega-events are increasingly used as strategic tools for place branding. However, public scrutiny of their social, economic, and environmental impacts has challenged organisers' ability to communicate intended place narratives and secure residents' support. Despite the participatory turn in place branding research, within mega-events research residents are predominantly conceptualised as e
Background Sustainability has become an increasingly central aspect of supplier and supply chain governance, driven by regulatory requirements, stakeholder expectations, and companies’ own sustainability objectives. As supply chains are often global, complex, and characterised by different levels of supplier dependency, companies face challenges in ensuring that suppliers comply with environmental
Rent dricksvatten och rena vattenmiljöer är ett krav för ett fungerande samhälle och en väsentlighet för att förebygga och behandla sjukdom. Vid optimering av reningsprocessen och dess drift så höjs ständigt kraven på vatten- och avloppsreningsverk, vilket har lett till en process mer och mer övervakad och kontrollerad av datorer. Det tillåter för snabbare justering av processen och pålitligare övClean drinking water and receiving water is a requirement for a prosperous society and is a key element in preventing and treating sickness. In optimizing the treatment processes and operations, requirements for water and wastewater treatment plants are steadily increasing, which has led to the process being supervised and controlled more and more through computers. This allows for faster process
2026 års reform av 3:12-reglerna innehåller två ändringar som tillsammans ger upphov till uppsatsens frågeställning. Den första är slopandet av den särskilda skatterättsliga dotterföretagsdefinitionen i 57 kap. 19 a § IL, vilket innebär att koncerndefinitionen i 1 kap. 11 § ABL åter avgör vilka ersättningar som får räknas med i löneunderlaget. Den andra är införandet av ett grundbelopp om fyra inkThe 2026 reform of the 3:12 rules contains two amendments that together give rise to the question examined in this thesis. The abolition of the special tax law definition of a subsidiary in Chapter 57, Section 19 a of the Income Tax Act means that the group definition in Chapter 1, Section 11 of the Companies Act once again determines which remuneration may be included in the wage base. The new ba
Tillförlitlig Hardware-In-the-Loop-testning (HIL-testning) är avgörande för att säkerställa kvaliteten hos elektroniska styrenheter (ECU:er) inom fordonsindustrin. Samtidigt är pålitligheten av testresultaten beroende av att HIL-riggen fungerar korrekt. Fel i riggen kan leda till missvisande resultat, onödig felsökning och ökad utvecklingstid. Syftet med detta examensarbete var att undersöka kriReliable Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) testing is essential for ensuring quality and reliability of Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in the automotive industry. However, the validity of test results is strongly dependent on correct operation of the HIL rig itself. Faults within the rig can lead to misleading results, unnecessary troubleshooting times and increased development time. The purpose of thi
Den sydatlantiska anomalin (SAA) är ett fenomen som innebär en försvagning av magnetfältets intensitet, vilket får konsekvenser för rymdinfrastruktur som påverkas av förhöjd strålning vid låg omloppsbana. De senaste 200 åren, tack vare moderna satellitdata, konstateras att anomalin rör sig västerut mot sydatlanten. Anomalin har även föreslagits vara en indikator på en framtida polomvändning. Idag The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is characterized by a weakening of the magnetic field intensity and is a phenomenon that has consequences for space infrastructure affected by elevated radiation in low orbit. Over the past 200 years, thanks to modern satellite data, the anomaly has been observed to move westward towards the South Atlantic. The anomaly has also been suggested to be an indicator of
This master's thesis project aims to stimulate discussion on the issue of ceramic waste disposal through speculative design. Ceramic waste is unavoidable in ceramic production, and the most common method of disposal is direct landfill. However, these ceramic materials are difficult to degrade and can persist for thousands of years. This speculative design project hopes to raise awareness and c
Biologisk mångfald har idag en betydande roll inom byggnation av hållbar infrastruktur. Samtidigt har utbyggnaden av elnätet och elektrifieringen ökat för att bidra till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Utbyggnaden av elnätet sker i form av fördelningsstation och ledningsgator. Denna studie undersöker vilka begränsningar det finns för att använda fördelningsstationer som en yta för att bidra till den bioBiodiversity has become an increasingly important aspect of sustainable development in infrastructure. At the same time electrification plays an important role for a fossil-free society and the increasing need for electrical infrastructure such as substations. This study examines the limitations and opportunities for implementing biodiversity enhancing measures at two substations in southern Swede
Currently, Germany is the largest provider of official development assistance globally, while simultaneously facing growing domestic financial and political pressure. Against this backdrop, security considerations came to the forefront of German development politics following the federal election in 2025, marking a shift away from previous feminist and rights-based approaches. In this context, the
How long will it be before our modern society is wrapped in generative AI without our discernible knowledge? What happens when the line between real and synthetic is practically non-existent? This study explores how a Qwen3-0.6B model, designed for mobile and edge deployment, can be fine-tuned to generate JSON-schematic data for workout and fitness. It shows that even smaller models are well-enoug
The aim of this study is to explore how non-EU migrants legally residing in Sweden construct narrative identity in relation to experiences of social exclusion. Meaning, how do they make sense of both perceived injustices and also their lack of access to the rights that Swedish citizens enjoy. Moreover, previous research on hostile policies, narrative identity and state sanctioned discriminatory h
This thesis aims to conceptualize character suicide as a mediated process through which an established public character becomes destabilized following actions perceived as inconsistent with previously established moral expectations. The study investigates how a public character is constructed and legitimized through media representations, how criticism emerges when established expectations are cha
Psychedelic experiences are widely reported to leave a lasting impact on quality of life: positive for most, negligible for some, negative for few. Still, the magnitude, distribution, and predictors of that impact have varied considerably between samples. Four independent samples (N = 2,652) were harmonized and analyzed in parallel. Three were Scandinavian, recruited through psychedelic-interest c
Regeringen har genomfört ett antal lagändringar på det kriminalpolitiska området i repressiv riktning den senaste mandatperioden. Även Socialdemokraterna, som är i opposition, förespråkar olika typer av straffskärpningar och däribland sänkt straffbarhetsålder, detta trots att straffskärpningar inte har något stöd i forskning. Denna uppsats undersöker vad det är som ger upphov till den politiska gå
This study aims to explore how users of an online incel forum experience and interpret their relationships with women, sexuality, and romantic rejection. By examining how users describe their experiences, the study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of online incel discourse and its implications for the field of social work. The theoretical framework combines phenomenology, Blumer’s sym
Social inequality is shaped by uneven access to opportunities across space, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have become a common tool for analysing and visualising these spatial patterns. However, GIS is often mistakenly perceived as an objective method, when in reality it holds inherent power structures that must be viewed through a critical lens. This thesis investigates the challenge
