ABSTRACT: Introduction / Rationale: The idea to facilitate development and learning originated from research engaging children and adults with profound cognitive disabilities in powered wheelchair practice (Driving to Learn). Later elaborations led to the development of the tool Assessment of Learning Process (ALP) including the facilitating approach. Objectives: To increase the understanding of t
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by radical cystectomy (RC) has been the standard care for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) for two decades. One third of NAC-treated patients achieve pathologic complete response (pT0N0), a proxy for improved survival after RC. Predicting response already at transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TUR-BT) would enable selective use of NAC, minimizing
During the upcoming LHC Long Shutdown 3 the ALICE experiment will upgrade its 3 Inner Tracking System (ITS2) layers to ITS3. The final design of ITS3 will have silicon sensors of up to 26 cm × 10 cm, thinned to 50 μm and bent into a cylindrical shape. The sensor prototypes developed are MOnolithic Stitched Sensors (MOSS) that are made of 10 Repeated Sensor Units (RSU). A babyMOSS sensor, consistin
Carbon dioxide and argon can form hydrated clusters in water-rich environments, and their photoionization dynamics are of fundamental interest in atmospheric and astrochemistry. In this work, we combine photoelectron–photoion coincidence (PEPICO) detection with velocity map imaging (VMI) using 21.22 eV vacuum ultraviolet light from a helium discharge lamp to investigate the photoionization of ($CO
The true nature of dark matter is still not fully understood. The low mass scale structures in dark matter simulations are not fully aligned with observations yet, and new simulations with high enough resolution to distinguish these low mass scale structures are vital. In this work we analyzed a new set of high resolution dark-matter-only (DMO) simulations, comparing cold dark matter (CDM), 7.5 ke
The integration of thin-film sensors onto geometrically complex industrial surfaces requires the transfer of microfabricated structures from flat donor substrates to non-planar receivers, a challenge that conventional elastomeric stamp methods cannot address at high curvature or surface roughness. This project investigates the REFLEX sugar-assisted transfer printing process as a route for integrat
MAX IV Laboratory is a modern synchrotron light source, providing synchrotron radiation used in a wide range of experiments. The production of synchrotron radiation used in experiments typically takes place in insertion devices (IDs), in which an oscillatory motion is induced in traversing electrons, stimulating the emission of synchrotron radiation. IDs consist of a periodic arrangement of magnet
The light dark matter experiment (LDMX) is a planned experiment to search for dark matter (DM) in the partly unexplored lower region of the mass range motivated by the thermal freeze-out mechanism. Electrons will be accelerated toward a tungsten target, and as they scatter off a nucleus, production of DM may occur, which will be inferred from a significant amount of missing energy in the detector.
This project investigates possible elliptic flow in electron-positron collisions, focusing on the event e+e- to W+W- to q1q2q3q4, which hadronizes into four jets. While collective flow phenomena are typically associated with large systems such as heavy-ion collisions and the formation of quark-gluon plasma, recent theoretical and experimental findings suggest that flow-like effects may also occur
Denna studie undersöker hur nation branding konstrueras genom diskurser i politisk kommunikation med särskilt fokus på hur nationell identitet och maktrelationer skapas och reproduceras i en personaliserad politisk kontext. Syftet är att analysera hur diskursiva strategier används för att forma och kommunicera föreställningar om nationen och hur nationella varumärkesrepresentationer tillämpas för This study examines how nation branding is constructed through discourses in political communication with a particular focus on how national identity and power relations are created and reproduced in a personalized political context. The aim is to analyze how discursive strategies are used to shape and communicate notions of the nation and how national brand representations are used to position na
This study investigates how a commercial company constructs discursive legitimacy in a paradoxical communicative context. Patagonia serves as an illustrative case to investigate how the company manages inherent tensions operating as an activist commercial brand. The analysis draws on Vaara et al.’s discursive legitimation theory and Fairclough´s discourse analysis tools to examine how legitimacy i
Syftet med denna multimodala kritiska diskursanalys är att studera hur Klarnas marknadsföring på sociala mediekanalen Instagram konstruerar ett symboliskt “vi”, och därigenom ett implicit “dom”. Studien syftar till att bidra med kunskap om hur kommunikation bidrar till konstruktion av sociala identiteter och en känsla av gemenskap gentemot fintech-varumärken. Analysen fokuserar på företaget KlarnaThe purpose of this multimodal critical discourse analysis is to examine how Klarna’s marketing on the social media platform Instagram constructs a symbolic “we”, and thereby an implicit “them”. The study aims to contribute knowledge about how communication contributes to the construction of social identities and the sense of community in relation to fintech brands. The analysis focuses on the mar
Denna studie undersöker hur ansvar, risk och handlingsberedskap konstrueras genom multimodala uttryck i Myndigheten för civilt försvars (MCF) broschyrer riktade till hushåll respektive företag. Studien analyserar även hur mottagarna positioneras som samhälleliga subjekt och hur dessa positioner skiljer sig mellan de två broschyrerna. Med utgångspunkt i ett Foucauldianskt perspektiv på governmental
This study explores how young consumers perceive and interpret AI-generated video advertisements designed to resemble user generated content (UGC) on social media. As digital marketing has shifted toward more interactive and relationship-oriented communication, authenticity and credibility have become central factors influencing audience attitudes, while advances in generative AI now enable conten
In today’s media landscape, popular cultural narratives play an increasingly important role in how places are understood and experienced. This study examines how these narratives are integrated and transformed within strategic place communication. By analyzing Visit Malmö’s communication surrounding the Netflix series Diary of a Ditched Girl, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of ho
I takt med att offentliga institutioner i allt högre grad använder sociala medier har plattformar som TikTok blivit viktiga verktyg för att nå yngre målgrupper. Denna studie undersöker hur unga vuxna mellan 18 och 20 år uppfattar och tolkar Försvarsmaktens kommunikation på TikTok, med fokus på govtainment, humor, informellt tilltal och institutionell trovärdighet. Utifrån ett mottagarperspektiv un
This thesis examines how corporate heritage brands communicate their heritage within immersive digital gaming environments and how such environments shape heritage communication. Through a qualitative multimodal analysis of Burberry's engagement on Roblox and Minecraft, the study explores how heritage is translated through visual, spatial and interactive elements within platform-specific desig
Denna studie analyserar hur Swedbanks kriskommunikation förändras under perioden 2017-2023, med fokus på VD-ord i bankens integrerade års- och hållbarhetsredovisningar. Studien undersöker hur dessa förändringar kan förstås i termer av legitimitetskonstruktion genom varumärkesidentitet, image repair-strategier och diskursiva legitimeringsprocesser. Analysen struktureras utifrån tre krisfaser: en fö
Studien syftade till att bidra till forskningsfältet, strategisk kommunikation och digitala medier. Detta genomfördes genom att undersöka hur olika röster konstruerar krisnarrativ och hur dessa narrativ interagerar inom den retoriska arenan. Ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt med abduktiv ansats tillämpades, med den norska kungafamiljens kris som fallstudie. Datan analyserades genom en narrativ ana
This thesis explores how sensemaking is constructed and negotiated in internal change communication during an organisational merger, specifically within an institution where communicative expertise is central to its professional identity. The study draws on Weick’s sensemaking theory, Gioia and Chittipeddi’s sensegiving, and Lewis’s communication-centered approach to organisational change to analy
