In 2003, the United Kingdom decided to participate in the invasion of Iraq based on the intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein had breached the UN resolutions banning the country from developing weapons of mass destruction. In hindsight, the intelligence reports and dossiers leading up to the involvement of UK troops in Iraq have been heavily criticised for being based on false information and o
Over the past decade, Swedish primary care has seen a substantial increase in the establishment of private actors. As the sector changes in composition, it becomes relevant to examine the influence on the functioning of the system, as well as on patients’ experience and right to healthcare. This thesis examines the relationship between the entry of new private clinics and quality of the nearest pu
This thesis studies first-order phase-transition dynamics and the associated stochastic gravitational-wave background in classically conformal B − L-like extensions of the Standard Model. The scalar and gauge sectors are formulated at tree level and at one-loop order using a modified on-shell renormalization prescription designed to keep the vacuum structure fixed while allowing the tree-level fla
Denna studie undersöker hur de svenska politiska riksdagspartierna Moderaterna och Socialdemokraterna anpassar sig till TikToks plattformslogik, samt hur populärkulturella referenser och humor kan förstås som ideologiska verktyg inom ramen för politainment. Studien har analyserat 20 strategiskt utvalda TikTok-videor från vardera partis officiella TikTok-konton, publicerade i april och maj 2026. En
Modern cloud-based machine learning (ML) services raise significant privacy concerns, as users must share potentially sensitive data with service providers. Private Decision Tree Evaluation (PDTE) addresses this by allowing encrypted queries to be evaluated against a model without revealing either party’s data, typically using Homomorphic Encryption (HE). While existing HE-based frameworks have de
This thesis analyses the emergence of judicial tax litigation in Peru as a differentiated professional practice among tax lawyers. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and documentary review, the research reconstructs the process through which certain high-value tax disputes, initially channelled through administrative venues, gradually moved into the Judiciary. The central argument is that this
This paper examines how institutional vulnerabilities are reproduced, institutionalised, and solidified through the translation of legal norms within Japan’s new admission policy, the Employment for Skill Development (ESD) system. Japan has de facto accepted foreign workers for over three decades by granting various residence statuses to address its declining birthrate and labour shortage. However
This study examines how psychological contract violations (PCV) affect organizational identification (OID) in the context of reconstructing strategic change, specifically acquisitions. While existing literature has established the relationship between psychological contract breach (PCB) and OID, the emotional dimension of violation remains relatively unexplored. Drawing on a qualitative, abductive
This study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th
Environmental monitoring of Carbon-14 around nuclear power plants (NPPs) has traditionally prioritized gaseous emissions, leaving waterborne liquid discharges unmonitored due to low nominal volumes (<0.5%) and analytical challenges using traditional techniques. However, liquid releases do not experience as effective dilution as gas releases, instead discharging directly into coastal ecosystems whe
This study investigates the thermal-hydraulics of a simplified model of Blykalla's Swedish Advanced Lead-cooled Reactor (SEALER) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in OpenFOAM. The objective is to develop and verify a system-level model for forced and natural convection. The reactor cooling circuit is represented using porous media and volumetric source terms. Simulations are conducted u
This thesis investigates the design and evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) agent assistants for industrial maintenance, developed in cooperation with SSAB. The study focuses on identifying what combinations of tools and architectures best serve the needs of maintenance technicians, with an emphasis on practical usability and factual correctness. Multiple agents were developed and compared,
Previous research on Trust-Based Management (TBM) is fragmented without a cohesive understanding of what it entails while TBM at the same time has been widely adopted throughout the public sector in the Nordics. This raises the question of how this post-NPM management reform can be studied by bridging the gap between the fragmented field of study and practical applications through developing a com
This thesis explores discursive constructions of Sub-Saharan African female authors’ identities. Although the global publishing world brings local literature to a global audience, enabling local authors to profit from and operate within a larger market, it nevertheless creates a hegemonic understanding of local authors based on postcolonial ideas of the ‘Other’. Considering colonial patterns of ho
Cross-border mergers and acquisitions have gained popularity over the past decades due to increased globalisation and interdependence of states. Nonetheless, the world is still facing geopolitical instability and upheavals that disrupt the stable course of cross-border deals. This thesis asks how the geopolitical environment surrounding the cross-border mergers and acquisitions shapes the deal-lev
Toxic behavior refers to verbal and behavioral forms of cyberaggression within online multiplayer gaming environments, often attributed to anonymity, player interdependence, competitiveness, and the availability of direct communication channels. This study systematically examined predictors of toxic behavior, including (1) descriptive and injunctive normative beliefs, (2) HEXACO personality traits
In complex B2B value chains, even functionally strong innovations may struggle when success depends on end-consumer adoption beyond the focal firm’s direct control. This thesis examines how context-specific market conditions shape perceived adoption drivers and barriers, how these perceptions influence downstream adoption, and how B2B firms can respond by adapting marketing capabilities to shape d
This thesis examines how India’s rise as a major economic actor shapes EU-India trade relations and the EU’s economic security in strategic sectors, technology and energy. The thesis asks how developments of increasing global trade fragmentation and geopolitical competition shape the EU's economic security and how the EU responds to this through trade policy, regulatory instruments, and the 20
This thesis contributes to the understanding of sustainability-oriented technological innovation (SOTI) by applying an innovation ecosystem perspective. The aim is to explore how interactions between actors shape SOTI and how these interactions enable or constrain adoption in practice. To address this purpose, a qualitative case study was conducted within the Swedish agri-food innovation ecosystem
This thesis examines how autonomous buses are interpreted and evaluated as a potential mobility solution within a multi-level planning context involving both municipal and regional perspectives. While autonomous vehicles are often framed as a key component of future sustainable transport systems, their implementation depends not only on technological development but also on social acceptance, inst
