The phenomenon of global framework agreements has emerged through the difficulties of regulating the global labour market where the multinational enterprises' operations have been driven by an economic agenda and profit. The challenges of creating transnational legislation have brought social actors, such as the United Nations and the International Labour Organisation, to initiate self-regulat
This thesis analyzes lived experiences from former juku students as well as promotional material produced by three shingakujuku (Nichinōken, Yotsuya Ōtsuka, Sapix) aimed at the private junior high school entrance examinations in Japan. The research questions aims to investigate the framing of the future and outcome of attending juku as well as how former students reflect on their own experience an
This thesis investigates the portrayal of intimate partner violence (IPV) in The Invisible Man and It Ends with Us, focusing on the cultural narratives these films construct and their broader social implications. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis, Stuart Hall’s Representation Theory, and Raewyn Connell’s concept of the gender order, the study explores how the films depict IPV and engage with
This thesis demonstrates how neoliberal urbanism has unrolled in the context of the Danish non-profit housing sector, using the case of Copenhagen neighbourhood Tingbjerg as a case study. Arguing that this process has significantly altered the relations of power within the neighbourhood, it further investigates the mode of resistance emerging locally as a response. Danish non-profit housing has be
Additiv tillverkning (AM), vanligtvis kallad 3D-utskrift, erkänns som en transformativ metod inom modern tillverkning. Tekniken möjliggör framställning av komplexa geometrier med ökad materialeffektivitet, lokaliserad produktion och större designfrihet. Trots dessa fördelar kvarstår utmaningar när det gäller att optimera AM-processer för att säkerställa resurseffektivitet – särskilt i att minska mAdditive Manufacturing (AM), commonly referred to as 3D printing, has known as a transformative approach in modern manufacturing. It enables the production of complex geometries with reduced material usage, localized fabrication, and improved design flexibility. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in optimizing AM processes to ensure resource efficiency, particularly in minimizing material
This thesis project was completed in collaboration with Arjo, a MedTech company headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. Arjo’s product offering is largely centered around providing healthier outcomes for individuals with limited mobility and includes products for patient transfer, hygiene, disinfection, etc. One product type which is central to Arjo’s mission is the hygiene chair. This type of product is
Our hands are highly intricate structures with complicated pathways for sensation and motor control. When exposed to a nerve-affecting injury, the process of rehabilitation is long and complicated, with no guarantee of success. Studies have shown that electrical stimulation proximal to the injury site could provide a way to regain sensations in the distal parts of the hand. By stimulating in diffe
Syftet med uppsatsen “priset för säkerhet” har varit att undersöka hur remissinstanserna i förfarandet om säkerhetszonerna resonerar kring mänskliga rättigheter i sina remissvar för att få förståelse för vilka intressen de värdesätter. För att uppnå detta har en deskriptiv argumentationsanalys inspirerad av Arne Næss teknik pro et contra dicere genomförts på de remissvar som lämnades in för promem
Decentralization and support to local democracy are keystones in Sweden's development cooperation. This cooperation is channelled through local partnerships in order to create fora for exchange of experiences of local self-governance and to strengthen democratic institutions on a sub-national level. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of, and to future research on, decentralizat
Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this research is to extend the concept of customer loyalty by applying it to a pharmacy retail setting using the perspective and understanding of both pharmacy professionals and consumers in order to comprehend which factors influence loyalty construction in this sector as opposed to in other retail industries. Theoretical perspective: This study focuses on survey
Stjärnböckerna is a book series for teenagers that was published by Svensk läraretidnings förlag 1937–1950. This article investigates the launch of the book series in 1937, the content of the first four books, their reception and the marketing of the book series, with the aim to gain a deeper understanding of how the publisher performed literary value. The study draws on theories about literary
Properties of the Higgs boson are measured in the two-photon final state using 36.1 fb-1 of proton? proton collision data recorded at ffiffi √s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Cross-section measurements for the production of a Higgs boson through gluon-gluon fusion, vectorboson fusion, and in association with a vector boson or a top-quark pair are reported. The signa
The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up.

Diverse organisms use Earth’s magnetic field as a cue in orientation and navigation. Nevertheless, eliciting magnetic orientation responses reliably, either in laboratory or natural settings, is often difficult. Many species appear to preferentially exploit non-magnetic cues if they are available, suggesting that the magnetic sense often serves as a redundant or ‘backup’ source of information.

Monitoring natural events at ultrafast timescales is a prerequisite for our continued understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes. Due to exponential advancements in knowledge and optical technology, the field of ultrafast videography has seen a sudden uptick in activity beginning in the mid-2010s. Today, the field has matured past its infancy and is slowly becoming a standard too
Using Euryale ferox husk as raw material, pristine biochar (EBC), Bi2MoO6-modified biochar (BM-EBC), and BiFeO3-modified biochar (BF-EBC) were prepared and employed for decontaminating Congo red (CR) from wastewater. Compared with EBC (217.59 mg/g) and BF-EBC (359.49 mg/g), a superior adsorption capacity of 460.77 mg/g was achieved by BM-EBC. Based on the evaluation results of the Freundlich and p
Understanding high-order biexciton dynamics is important for the use of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in optoelectronic devices. The core–shell structure can be used to modulate biexciton dynamics by varying the shell thickness and core–shell energy band alignment. In this study, the biexciton dynamics in an unconventional case in which each QD is encapsulated by a submonolayer shell are demons
This chapter has a twofold aim. Our first aim is to argue for a shift from viewing engagement as a psychological state to understanding it as a communication phenomenon inherently embedded in relational and interactive processes. We argue that as a communication phenomenon, engagement is best captured in the broader meaning of the verb engage, that is, “to begin and carry out an […] activity”. Whe
