This study examines how gender is performed and how the norm of the “ideal nurse” is constructed within psychiatric care in Sweden. Operating at the intersection of historical care ideals and New Public Management (NPM), the nursing profession faces structural tensions between professional autonomy and organizational subjection. Drawing on feminist organizational sociology, Joan Acker’s theory of
Overall Aim: To contribute to literature of slow fashion, heritage, positioning and country of origin by exploring and developing the concept of Slow Heritage Fashion within the context of Swedish fashion heritage brands. Purpose: To investigate the phenomenon of Slow Heritage Fashion in a Swedish context. The three guiding research questions are: What is Slow Heritage Fashion; How does Slow Heri
This study explored how entrepreneurial decision-makers interpret political uncertainty and how such uncertainty influences foreign market entry decisions. While prior research has demonstrated that political uncertainty affects firms’ investment behaviour and international activities, existing literature has primarily focused on large multinational enterprises and macro-level indicators of uncert
This paper aims to contribute to the already ongoing scientific discussion about socioeconomic factors and interpersonal trust. More specifically how parents educational level and view of one's self income influences this relationship. This study takes on a Swedish perspective and measures to what extent different variables affect the relationship. The analysis in this paper uses a multiple re
This thesis examines to what extent income inequality has been associated with political polarisation in Sweden during the 1980-2020. The study examines both national and municipal level data to examine the relationship between the two concepts. The national data cover 1980-2020 while the municipal data cover 2011-2020. It employs quantitative methods such as multiple Ordinary Least Squares regres
This thesis examines how exceptional security measures are discursively constructed and legitimised in El Salvador under President Nayib Bukele during the ongoing state of exception introduced in March 2022. While the suspension of constitutional guarantees and implementation of mass detention policies have generated extensive criticism from human rights organisations and international actors, th
Flowing curls, serpentine tresses, and golden or darkened locks haunt fin-de-siècle Gothic fiction, where feminine hair emerges as both an object of aesthetic fascination and a mythic site of seduction, monstrosity, and feminine excess. This thesis examines the representation of feminine hair in fin-de-siècle Gothic fiction, focusing on how hair functions as a site of cultural anxieties surroundin
This study explores whether international female master’s students from non-European countries at Lund University achieve social integration, with a particular focus on friendships and sense of belonging. It also examines whether the university provides sufficient social and institutional resources to support integration. The purpose of the study is to understand what conditions Lund University pr
With consideration to an increased future energy demand, efficient energy utilization is imperative. Within the context of district heating, otherwise underutilized resources are enabled, which enhances the efficiency of the energy system. In order to facilitate increased recovery of low-grade waste heat, supply temperatures in the district heating grid can be reduced. However, supply temperature
Splitting refers to cracking in concrete caused by transverse tensile stresses and is typically mitigated through reinforcement of the concrete. In Boverkets handbok om betongkonstruktioner, BBK04 threshold values are provided for when splitting is expected to occur and when splitting reinforcement is required. In 2011, Swedish design practice transitioned to Eurokod 2, in which guidance and desig
The planet is facing one of its biggest challenges yet, climate change. Coastal flooding and erosion are some of the severe climate change effects that society is forced to handle. Climate adaptation needs to be addressed at a regional or a local level where the effects are experienced. Previous research has mostly focused on identifying which factors hinder or facilitate climate adaptation on a l
Research question: "How do individuals using semaglutide negotiate the stigma associated with its use?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how individuals using semaglutide negotiate the stigma associated with its use, extending moralised consumption into the underexplored domain of pharmaceutical weight loss. Theoretical perspective: The study draws on three complementar
Fertility in the United States has been quite heterogenous based on race and socioeconomic status but overall maintaining relatively high levels until recently. This thesis explores how complications during pregnancy and childbirth relate to the fertility intentions of women who are partnered to have a second child, while considering racial and socioeconomic differences. I use linear probability m
Accurate estimations of regional CO2 fluxes are essential for understanding the global carbon cycle and further mitigating climate change. Satellite-based retrievals of column-averaged carbon dioxide (CO2) from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 2 (OCO-2) offer a promising avenue for estimating carbon fluxes with atmospheric inversion systems, as they provide higher spatial resolution and observation
Examensarbetets titel: Autenticitet i varumärkesaktivism - En studie om hur autenticitet förhandlas i konsumentreaktioner på sociala medier Seminariedatum: 4 juni 2026 Ämne/kurs: FEKH29, Examensarbete i marknadsföring på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Sofia Lindgren, Julia Holmström & Ella Ericsson Handledare: Annette Cerne Fem nyckelord: Autenticitet, aktivistisk marknadsföring, v
Five-membered heterocycles are a crucial moiety in medicinal chemistry and are widely present in drugs due to its broad biological profile. Disubstituted 1,2,4-triazoles are used in a variety of therapeutic applications such as anti-cancer drugs, although the synthesis can be challenging. Previously, synthetic routes required harsh conditions and small range of reagents, which limits the scope of
This bachelor thesis examines how Sámi women and queer Sámi people's vulnerabilization is constructed through an indigenous feminist and western politics discourse in the report called Violence against Sámi women (Våld mot samiska kvinnor). By using critical discourse analysis and Fairclough’s three-dimensional model, the thesis shows that the report constructs Sámi women's vulnerabilizati
Den ökade efterfrågan och turismen i Stockholms skärgård har skapat en identitetsmässig konflikt, där bebyggelseutvecklingen främst drivs av kommersiella besöksnäringar och privata fritidshus. Skärgårdsmiljön balanserar idag mellan strikt skyddade naturområden och exklusiva, privatiserade strandtomter, vilket lämnar lite utrymme för ett levande permanentliv. För att skärgården ska förbli en fungerThe growing demand and tourism in the Stockholm archipelago have created a conflict of identity, where property development is primarily driven by commercial hospitality industries and private seasonal housing. Today, the archipelago environment balances between strictly protected natural areas and exclusive, privatized shorelines, leaving little room for a vibrant, year-round community. For the a
While the climate crisis is escalating, environmental movements play a critical role in driving socio-political change. However, political instability is becoming more prevalent in many countries, presenting a potential opportunity and/or challenge for social mobilization. Therefore, this study investigates how environmental activists navigate political instability, based on interviews with enviro
Hur ett flerbostadshus från miljonprogrammet kan energieffektiviseras genom att renovera fasadväggarnas klimatskal undersöks i denna studie. Denna renovering ska ske med material som har en så liten klimatpåverkan som möjligt ur ett livscykelperspektiv. Anledningen är att göra renoveringen så aktuell som möjligt genom att vara anpassad efter dagens problem och behov gällande klimatomställningen saAlthough the Swedish building sector is today one of the cleanest in Europe, there remain many areas for improvement. The building sector currently accounts for 22.1% of Sweden’s total CO2 equivalent emissions, of which 28% stems from renovation and another 28% from heating. Combined with the deteriorating condition of Sweden’s Miljonprogram housing stock and its already substantial need for renov
