The thesis presents a poetic and intimate correspondence to be heard in the format of a 6 chapter script that relays an emmergence of a (meta)physical garden of revolt where a cohort entity of embodied and unembodied voices converse, organize, reflect and act from. They also engage the reader intimately through conversation and performative instructions to embody and articulate different proposals

This study provides a comprehensive sedimentological and geochemical analysis of the Late Quaternary Köttsjön sequence in central Sweden. Its aim is to identify the processes and transport mechanisms involved in till formation, and to investigate ice dynamics and sediment provenance. Ultimately, the research contributes to a better understanding of glacial dynamics and palaeoenvironmental evolutio

Sweden has received a high number of immigrants during the last decade. This has led to an increased ethnic and socioeconomic segregation in Swedish cities, which in turn has led to different integration initiatives to become more frequent. This thesis aims to investigate how a “buddy programme”, a social integration project that matches a newcomer and an established Swede together, can enrich the

This study aims to investigate the impact of natural disasters on stock market returns and volatility in the European insurance sector using daily financial data from 3 January 2000 to 2 January 2025. This is done by implementing a GARCH(1,1) model to both the STOXX Europe 600 Insurance index and the broader Euro STOXX 600 index, as well as firm-level data for five of the largest European insurers

This thesis analyses how financial markets react to aviation accidents by examining the short-term stock price movements of publicly traded airlines and aircraft manufacturers. A global sample of aviation accidents occurring between 2015 and 2025 is examined using the event study methodology in order to estimate abnormal returns. The study also compares the market’s response across accident severi

This thesis explores the rhetorical strategies employed by abolition-aligned groups in their pursuit of alternatives to penal punishment, with a focus on their practical implications. The paper establishes the political and historical context of the United States' relationship to incarceration, providing a foundation for the research. It then introduces a discourse analysis method to examine t

Purpose: This study aims to identify the firm-specific, industry, and macroeconomic factors that drive M&A activity among Swedish public companies, and to assess whether these acquisitions result in enhanced financial and operational performance in the subsequent years. Methodology: The study uses binary logistic regression to examine how firms, industry, and macroeconomic characteristics in

Att mäta framgång i byggprojekt idag kan vara svårt. Dels att hitta en samsyn på vad framgång är dels hur man ska mäta framgång. Genom den forskning som finns inom området kan man konstatera att det är äldre metoder som används än idag för att mäta framgång. Dessa metoder har även modifierats med tiden och bildat nya metoder. De vanligaste områdena att mäta för att förstå framgång i forskning är tMeasuring success in construction projects today can be difficult—partly due to the lack of consensus on what success is, and partly due to the challenge of how to measure it. Existing research shows that older methods are still used to measure success, though many of these have been modified over time and evolved into new approaches. The most common aspects evaluated in research when measuring su

The increasing frequency of facade fires, often exacerbated by combustible cladding systems, has emphasized the need for passive fire protection strategies. Among these, horizontal projections—such as balconies, canopies, and deflectors—have emerged as potential fire safety elements. This thesis investigates the influence of horizontal projections on thermal exposure and lateral flame spread acros

The present thesis aims to assess the efficacy of the GDPR in managing personal data breaches in healthcare. To fulfil its purpose, we have analysed the legal basis for processing sensitive personal health data and we have set the following research question: To what extent does the GDPR prevent personal health data breaches as well as mitigate their impact on data subjects? In order to conduct

In recent years, the rise of tradwife-influencers on platforms such as TikTok has brought attention to the resurfacing of conservative gender roles. This study explores how these influencers frame a conservative ideology on TikTok and thereby functions as ideological intermediaries. Using framing and priming theory as the analytical lens, a multimodal qualitative frame analysis on twenty posts was

Vid byggnation av vägar och järnvägar i Sverige idag används nästan uteslutande ändliga resurser som bergkross eller naturgrus som ballastmaterial. Det är av stort intresse att undersöka om till exempel återvunnet material och restprodukter från industrier skulle kunna användas i stället. För detta ändamål byggdes en testväg i november 2024 inne på en avfallsanläggning i Helsingborg. Vägen, som foDuring construction of roads and railways in Sweden today, mainly finite resources such as crushed rock or natural gravel, are being used as ballast material. It is of great interest to investigate whether, for instance, recycled materials and residual products from industries could be used instead. For this purpose, a test road was constructed in November of 2024 in a waste facility in Helsingbor

This project explores the design of a modular, wall-mounted shelving system that merges the practicality of hardware storage with the refined aesthetic of contemporary furniture. Driven by an interest in modularity and metal as a design material, the project investigates how adaptability, sustainability and visual clarity can coexist in a single solution. The result is a system constructed in recy

This research explores the lived experiences of a group of Chinese diasporas in Stockholm, Sweden, who migrated through unanticipated opportunities rather than long-term planning. In contrast to dominant Chinese cultural values prioritizing stability, careful life planning, and risk aversion, these individuals made bold, transformative decisions to embrace uncertain immigration journeys without pr

In today's media landscape, podcasts have become a central platform for personal storytelling, entertainment and marketing. With its conversational and audio-based structure, podcasts offer unique conditions for building credibility and authenticity through language. While previous research has examined authenticity in digital media and rhetorical techniques separately, there is still limited

Purpose: To investigate whether the U.S.-centred M&A literature translates to the heterogeneous European markets by analysing the impact of economic distress, uncertainty, and relatedness on stock performance. Methodology: This thesis utilises an event study to provide a perspective on immediate M&A announcement impacts. Subsequently, we examine the acquirer’s post-announcement performanc

Titeln på detta arbete, Häng med i svängarna!, kommer från en av våra frågeställningar: ”Vilka färdigheter bör en modern trumslagare inneha för att vara så förberedd som möjligt på dagens musikaliska landskap?” Detta grundar sig i en idé om att en modern trumslagare bör införskaffa sig de moderna färdigheter som behövs för att helt enkelt hänga med i svängarna, eller att hänga med i det moderna. SGet with the groove, the title of this study, is derived from one of our central research questions: ”What skills should a modern drummer possess in order to be as prepared as possible for today’s musical landscape?” This question stems from the idea that today’s drummer must acquire contemporary skills necessary to – quite simply – get with the groove: to stay relevant and in sync with the demand

This thesis examines the challenges faced by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in obtaining standard essential patent (SEP) licenses when entering the European market. It focuses on the SEP licensing framework within the European automotive industry, with particular attention to the Avanci patent pool and its representative licensing practices. By analyzing several Avanci-related cases i

This thesis argues that the escalating and protracted violence in Mexico, commonly known as the ‘war on drugs,’ constitutes a non-international armed conflict (NIAC) under international humanitarian law (IHL), calling for a formal application of this legal framework. Despite its devastating humanitarian consequences, the conflict is often mischaracterised within a law enforcement paradigm, contrib
