This study examines the experience that parents of children with problematic school absence have, with a focus on three distinct themes: support, collaboration, and the role of the parent. The purpose of this study is to explore the parental perspective on school absence and to highlight their experiences. In order to collect the relevant material to get an insight into the parental perspective, w
This study examines energy poverty in the context of Skåne, with the aim of (1) investigating which indicators are used to identify energy poverty, (2) applying these indicators across municipalities to determine which ones appear to be most and least vulnerable to energy poverty. Finally, (3) to examine how municipalities perceive and characterize energy poverty and its indicators in a local cont
Public execution sites have long remained overlooked within Swedish archaeological research. Only a limited number out of the estimated 500-600 sites have been systematically investigated archaeologically. The public execution sites are strongly associated with death and violence, sanctioned by both the Church and the state, positioning them within what can be conceptualised as dark heritage. This
This study examines how economic incentives such as Hungary’s Family Protection Action Plan (FPAP) are used as social policy instruments to legitimize the nation in the context of demographic decline. The aim of the thesis is to analyse how social policy becomes embedded within nationalist rhetoric, concerning national sovereignty and self-determination. Using Benedict Anderson’s theory of Imagi

Probiotic strains such as Limosilactobacillus reuteri are highly sensitive to thermal, oxidative, and mechanical stress, and freeze-drying has become a standard technique for stabilizing probiotic cultures. The protective performance of the dried product is determined by both its chemical composition and its mechanical structure, with an ideal encapsulating matrix consisting of thick and co
This study examines how youth leaders in peace projects in Ethiopia develop through their engagement. Based on six weeks of fieldwork across three peace projects in Addis Ababa, Jimma and Hawassa, the study takes a strength-based perspective of the leaders and asks how the peace-project engagement serve developing. Drawing on Honwana's concept of waithood, the study argues that youth leaders i
This thesis examines how the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the protection of inventions, with a focus on patents and trade secrets at the international and, particularly, European level, based on the findings’ data. It begins by defining AI from technical, legal, and economic perspectives, emphasising the growing importance of intangible assets in the modern economy, where AI-r
This thesis examines how extreme heat is understood and managed within the urban planning context of Malmö, Sweden. As climate change intensifies, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and severe, while urban heat island effects further increase temperatures in densely built environments. Despite growing health risks associated with extreme heat, the issue remains relatively underexplored in Sweden
This thesis examines how children navigate redress-seeking for child-abuse grievances in rural Zambia. Using a process-tracing approach grounded in Felstiner, Abel and Sarat’s (1980) naming–blaming–claiming model, the study analyses how redress-seeking emerges, transforms, or dissipates, and identifies the factors that facilitate or constrain these transformations. The research employed a document
ABSTRACT Phygital and gameful interventions are increasingly used by Destination Management Organisations (DMOs) to manage visitor movement, interpretation, and access in fragile heritage destinations. Yet their contribution to sustainable and resilient destination development remains unclear, particularly when digital tools do not translate smoothly into situated visitor experience. Focusing on D
This thesis investigates the wear behaviour of advanced cutting tools during the milling of fully pearlitic CGI 450 and ferritic-pearlitic SSF CGI 350. The hard CGI 450 primarily induced mechanical abrasive wear, whereas the highly ductile, ferrite-rich SSF CGI 350 triggered adhesive wear and built-up edge formation. EDS analysis confirmed the dynamic formation of a protective Mg-Si-O layer, which
The World Heritage Site Venice and its Lagoon faces major challenges to its conservation, mainly those of mass tourism and climate change. This thesis examines how Venice is represented and managed as a World Heritage Site in official reports by Unesco and Italy, with a particular focus on conservation, tourism and sustainability. The study is conducted through a qualitative content analysis of Un
This thesis examines recent years’ unresolved conflicts on the state’s right to regulate and the protection of foreign investors in ‘climate blind’ energy agreements, such as the Energy Charter Treaty. One of the primary disputes among them is the vague language of indirect expropriation in traditional International Investment Agreements (IIAs), which mostly favours investor protection. While IIAs
This study aims to examine how professionals within civil society and the legal sector engage in preventive work against human trafficking in Thailand, and how various risk factors and power structures are understood and constructed in their narratives. This thesis presents a discourse analysis of human trafficking in Thailand, with a particular focus on gender, economic vulnerability, tourism, an
The dietary supplement (DS) market, along with the topic of health optimization, is continuously growing. Simultaneously the time, money and health investments of consumers are increasing, which makes the motivations of the consumption a relevant topic to investigate. Research has not sufficiently explored the intersection of governmentality, DS, young women and the modern context they live in. Th
This thesis investigates whether a variational autoencoder (VAE) can be trained directly on raw, ir- regularly sampled option quotes rather than on pre-interpolated volatility surfaces. A Raw Set VAE is proposed, combining a Set Transformer encoder with a pointwise decoder to process unordered, variable-length sets of SPX option contracts without requiring prior grid construction. To isolate the c
Gängkriminalitet är ett ämne som framställts av flertalet svenska nyhetsartiklar under de senaste åren. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur unga kvinnor delaktiga i gängkriminalitet framställs i svenska nyhetsartiklar mellan 2023 och 2025. Den syftar även till att undersöka hur deras framställningar kan förstås i relation till samhälleliga föreställningar om kvinnlig kriminalitet. Valet gr
From both a legal and business perspective, it is important for credit institutes to accurately assess the risk of default for potential borrowers. This is traditionally done using statistical methods, such as logistic regression or decision trees, utilising sociodemographic and credit history information.This thesis investigates whether a bureau score, provided by a credit bureau, should be incor
