This master's thesis project aims to stimulate discussion on the issue of ceramic waste disposal through speculative design. Ceramic waste is unavoidable in ceramic production, and the most common method of disposal is direct landfill. However, these ceramic materials are difficult to degrade and can persist for thousands of years. This speculative design project hopes to raise awareness and c
Biologisk mångfald har idag en betydande roll inom byggnation av hållbar infrastruktur. Samtidigt har utbyggnaden av elnätet och elektrifieringen ökat för att bidra till ett fossilfritt samhälle. Utbyggnaden av elnätet sker i form av fördelningsstation och ledningsgator. Denna studie undersöker vilka begränsningar det finns för att använda fördelningsstationer som en yta för att bidra till den bioBiodiversity has become an increasingly important aspect of sustainable development in infrastructure. At the same time electrification plays an important role for a fossil-free society and the increasing need for electrical infrastructure such as substations. This study examines the limitations and opportunities for implementing biodiversity enhancing measures at two substations in southern Swede
Currently, Germany is the largest provider of official development assistance globally, while simultaneously facing growing domestic financial and political pressure. Against this backdrop, security considerations came to the forefront of German development politics following the federal election in 2025, marking a shift away from previous feminist and rights-based approaches. In this context, the
How long will it be before our modern society is wrapped in generative AI without our discernible knowledge? What happens when the line between real and synthetic is practically non-existent? This study explores how a Qwen3-0.6B model, designed for mobile and edge deployment, can be fine-tuned to generate JSON-schematic data for workout and fitness. It shows that even smaller models are well-enoug
The aim of this study is to explore how non-EU migrants legally residing in Sweden construct narrative identity in relation to experiences of social exclusion. Meaning, how do they make sense of both perceived injustices and also their lack of access to the rights that Swedish citizens enjoy. Moreover, previous research on hostile policies, narrative identity and state sanctioned discriminatory h
This thesis aims to conceptualize character suicide as a mediated process through which an established public character becomes destabilized following actions perceived as inconsistent with previously established moral expectations. The study investigates how a public character is constructed and legitimized through media representations, how criticism emerges when established expectations are cha
Psychedelic experiences are widely reported to leave a lasting impact on quality of life: positive for most, negligible for some, negative for few. Still, the magnitude, distribution, and predictors of that impact have varied considerably between samples. Four independent samples (N = 2,652) were harmonized and analyzed in parallel. Three were Scandinavian, recruited through psychedelic-interest c
Regeringen har genomfört ett antal lagändringar på det kriminalpolitiska området i repressiv riktning den senaste mandatperioden. Även Socialdemokraterna, som är i opposition, förespråkar olika typer av straffskärpningar och däribland sänkt straffbarhetsålder, detta trots att straffskärpningar inte har något stöd i forskning. Denna uppsats undersöker vad det är som ger upphov till den politiska gå
This study aims to explore how users of an online incel forum experience and interpret their relationships with women, sexuality, and romantic rejection. By examining how users describe their experiences, the study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of online incel discourse and its implications for the field of social work. The theoretical framework combines phenomenology, Blumer’s sym
Social inequality is shaped by uneven access to opportunities across space, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have become a common tool for analysing and visualising these spatial patterns. However, GIS is often mistakenly perceived as an objective method, when in reality it holds inherent power structures that must be viewed through a critical lens. This thesis investigates the challenge
Abstract Denna studie ämnar undersöka de bakomliggande rituella och sociala mekanismerna inom tillfälliga gemenskaper (communities) vid rekreationellt psilocybinbruk. Det empiriska underlaget utgörs av tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer och två fältstudier med delvis deltagande observation inom två separata gemenskaper av psykedeliska brukare. Intervjuerna och observationerna har analyserats utifrå
This study explores how young adults with one or two foreign-born parents experience and manage feelings of cultural in-betweenness and how these experiences influence their self-identity and sense of belonging in Swedish society. The study adopts a qualitative approach and is based on semi-structured interviews with seven participants aged 18-24, all born and raised in Sweden with at least one fo
The region of Istria, a renowned touristic destination, is often represented by superficial souvenirs designed and manufactured far from the place they claim to embody. To challenge this situation, and therefore provide both visitors and locals with meaningful and useful keepsakes, “in tola!” was developed: a collection of dining table utensils for shared dining moments designed with Istria in min
It remains unclear whether the same personality traits and motivational processes predict alcohol and cannabis use among adolescents, or whether substance-specific profiles exist. Using data from the 2024 Swedish CAN survey, the first to include Big Five personality measures alongside indicators of alcohol use, cannabis use, and substance use motives, this study examined these relationships in a r
As one of the United Nations’ specialized agencies UNESCO encourages countries to further development in regard to preserve culture, education and science. These obligations are fixed within frameworks. To fulfil the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions(CoCE), countries should report cultural policies and measures to UNESCO. Despite these reporti
Syftet är att undersöka hur teorin om planerat beteende och normaktiveringsmodellen relaterar till secondhandkonsumtion i Sverige. Studien bygger på en kvantitativ forskningsansats och genomfördes genom en webbaserad enkät med analys i SPSS. Resultatet visar att attityd och personlig norm hade de starkaste sambanden med intentionen att köpa kläder secondhand. Upplevd beteendekontroll hade ett svag
Kriminella nätverk och gängrelaterat våld har under de senaste decennierna fått ökad uppmärksamhet i Sverige. Forskningen har tidigare huvudsakligen fokuserat på den gängkriminella mannen, medan kvinnors roller och erfarenheter har fått mindre utrymme. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur kvinnor med koppling till kriminella nätverk framställs i svensk nyhetsrapportering. Vidare syftar upps
When students share their stories of fear, violence, loneliness, or their futures, the school counsellor is there to serve as a professional support. In these encounters, the role demands a proper balance between empathy and a professional reception where the student’s pain does not heavily affect the counsellor's own wellbeing. This study aimed to examine how Swedish upper-secondary school co
För att upprätthålla en hälsosam arbetsplatskultur behöver chefer pålitliga insikter från medarbetarfeedback. Grade Pulse är ett HR-verktyg för enkätundersökningar från Talentech som för närvarande förlitar sig på statiska, allmänna förslag som sak- nar team- och enkätspecifik kontext. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur integra- tionen av generativ artificiell intelligens (GenAI) i verktyget kan fTo maintain a healthy workplace culture, managers need trustworthy, actionable in- sights from employee feedback. Grade Pulse is an HR pulse survey tool by Talentech that currently relies on static, generic suggestions that lack team- and survey-specific context. This master’s thesis investigates how integrating Generative Artificial Intel- ligence (GenAI) into the tool can improve suggestions. By
