Denna uppsats undersöker unboxingvideor på TikTok som en del av influencers strategier för att balansera autenticitet och kommersiella intressen. Genom att analysera fem sponsrade unboxingvideor samt publikens kommentarer belyser studien hur interaktionerna bidrar till att skapa, förstärka och ibland även utmana influencers varumärke. Med utgångspunkt i teorier om deltagarkultur, parasociala relat

Amphibians are globally among the most endangered taxonomic groups of vertebrates. This is partly due to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, that have led to eradication of more than 90 species of amphibians worldwide. The spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) is one of the Swedish red listed species (VU) that are at risk of being affecte

This paper examines the economic consequences of financial crises and the determinants of recovery duration through a structural-institutionalist perspective. Drawing on cross-country data from 160 countries (1950–2019) and using updated classifications of crisis episodes, it explores two central questions: how do different types of crises affect GDP per capita? and what factors explain variation

The primary aim of the present study was to investigate and explore both the interaction and independent relationship between self-efficacy, developmental leadership, teamwork and motivation in relation to individual performance, to gain a deeper understanding of the practical implications within private sector organisations. The present study is built upon the theoretical gap that was observed in

This study is based on the crime preventive initiative by the Western Copenhagen Police, which aims at reducing domestic violence through preventive conversations. This thesis explores the narratives of male perpetrators of either Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) or stalking who have been contacted through this initiative. Two data types are used: recorded conversations between the police and perpe

This thesis examines how the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)regulate the use of AI in credit assess- ment, with a focus on protecting fundamental rights such as transpar- ency and non-discrimination. Using a doctrinal legal method, the analysis ex- plores key legal obligations under both frameworks, including Article 22 GDPR, the classification of h

This thesis investigates the semiotic foundations of recurrent gestures through a cross-cultural study of the Two-Handed-Alternation-Sagittal (2HAS) gesture in Japanese and Swedish. Drawing on the Motivation & Sedimentation Model (MSM)––a cognitive-semiotic model of meaning-making––the study explores how recurrent gestures emerge from the dynamic interplay between embodiment and sedimentation.

This study focuses on the chromatographic analysis of neonicotinoid pesticides in bumblebee samples. Analyzing these residues presents significant challenges due to the complex biological matrix and the critical need for high detectability to meet regulatory limits. Furthermore, many conventional chromatographic methods are often time-consuming and rely on substantial volumes of hazardous organic

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and natural hazards and associated disasters both pose significant global threats, with potential for exacerbating intersections. Despite AMR’s growing international priority, the nexus of AMR and hazards/disasters remains underexplored. This thesis aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the nexus to inform future perspectives and highlight further investigation

Road verges can provide resources for pollinating insects, but it remains unclear if these resources are accessible to all species, or if some ecological traits can prevent certain species from using road verge habitats. We sampled wild bees and butterflies in 37 road verges in southern Sweden, with contrasting mowing regimes and along a gradient of traffic intensity. We compiled data on the pools

Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are central to the digital transformation of healthcare and are intended to support coordination, documentation, and access to patient information across healthcare settings. However, technical interoperability does not necessarily mean that exchanged information is usable in clinical work. This thesis examines how healthcare professionals experience the interopera

Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, resulted in a substantial displacement of people, most of whom were Ukrainian women and children. Given the vast number of Ukrainian refugees who have fled to other countries, the aim was to examine how the news media portrays their images and experiences. This master's thesis focuses on identifying representations of Ukrainian

Modern cellular radio base stations (RBS) employ beamforming to dynamically steer radio frequency (RF) energy toward active users. This adaptive transmission produces significant angular and temporal variations in the equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP). To account for these variations, electromagnetic field (EMF) compliance assessment of RBSs rely on the usage of the EIRP envelope toge

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: To study the heritability and familiality of type 2 diabetes and related quantitative traits in families from the Botnia Study in Finland. METHODS: Heritability estimates for type 2 diabetes adjusted for sex, age and BMI are provided for different age groups of type 2 diabetes and for 34 clinical and metabolic traits in 5,810 individuals from 942 families using a variance compone

It is yet unknown to which degree young subfertile men present with signs of hypogonadism and whether low testosterone concentration, like in older men, is associated with risk of osteoporosis and metabolic derangements in those subjects. The objective was, therefore, to investigate the prevalence of hypogonadism and its association with metabolic and bone parameters in young subfertile men.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate metabolic factors and their possible impact on risk of thyroid cancer. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted based on seven population-based cohorts in Norway, Austria, and Sweden, in the Metabolic syndrome and Cancer project (Me-Can). Altogether 578,700 men and women with a mean age of 44.0 years at baseline were followed for on average 12.0 years. Relative r

CAPS1 and CAPS2 regulate dense-core vesicle release of transmitters and hormones in neuroendocrine cells, but their precise roles in the secretory process remain enigmatic. Here we show that CAPS2(-/-) and CAPS1(+/-);CAPS2(-/-) mice, despite having increased insulin sensitivity, are glucose intolerant and that this effect is attributable to a marked reduction of glucose-induced insulin secretion.
