This thesis analyses the structural limitations of the prevailing entitlement-based framework of international human rights law (IHRL), particularly in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and evaluates whether integrating duties alongside existing rights, a duty-infused reconceptualization, can address those limitations or not? The study draws its primary motivation from a structural crisis i
This study explores how female managers in Icelandic technology companies describe their career journeys and the turning points that shaped their progression into senior management. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using the Gioia methodology. The findings show that none of these women planned their way into leadership. Instead their careers were shaped by unexpected op
Denna uppsats analyserar kapitalismens sammansvetsning med människa och samhällsstrukturer samt hur detta påverkar ekologisk hållbarhet. Genom att applicera Baumans konsumtionsteori, Boltanski och Chiapellos teori om den nya kapitalismens anda och Olin Wrights teori om verkliga utopier på fem semistrukturerade expertintervjuer, har begrepp som ekosocial hållbarhet, cirkulär ekonomi och systemförän
Cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive environments where HVAC systems account for roughly 50-75% of energy use due to high air changes per hour and strict conditioning requirements for indoor humidity and temperature. This thesis presents a techno-economic analysis comparing two of the most common HVAC system types. These systems are centralized, using one large AHU to pro
Post-quantum cryptography increases the computational and data-movement demands placed on embedded processors. Many standardized and candidate schemes rely heavily on Keccak, SHA-3, and SHAKE operations, where the 1600-bit Keccak state is repeatedly updated and may become a bottleneck when accelerated through software-hardware interaction. This thesis presents a direct memory access (DMA)-enhanced
This study examines how discursive legitimacy is constructed in strategic external crisis communication. Crisis communication and discursive legitimacy have rarely been studied together, although both fields examine how legitimacy is negotiated and maintained. Through a qualitative discourse analysis of multimodal media material, the study explores how language is used to manage a legitimacy threa
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) serves as the preeminent uniform legal framework governing international sales. Central to its application is Article 8, which prescribes a tripartite hierarchy for interpreting party intent by prioritizing subjective intent, applying the objective reasonable person standard, and mandating a holistic review of al
Debates in parliament provide a large source of textual data through which political attention can be examined. We investigate the relationship between parliamentary attention and government expenditure, extending existing work to the United Kingdom's institutional context. Structural Topic Modelling is applied to House of Commons speeches from the financial years 2000 to 2018, extracting 100
As wireless communication systems evolve toward 6G and joint communication and sensing paradigms, emerging applications impose stringent low-latency constraints on target tracking systems. Within the hardware implementation of particle filters, the traditional systematic resampling algorithm suffers from global data dependencies and sequential memory accesses, creating a fundamental performance bo
This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of women’s entrepreneurship in Skåne, Sweden, and to examine how entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) contribute to overcoming barriers in the business development process. Using a mixed-methods approach, including two literature reviews, four in-depth interviews, and a quantitative questionnaire, the study applies triangulation of empirical inf
This thesis investigates the economic and operational consequences of price-responsive operation of a large-scale alkaline electrolyzer producing hydrogen for fossil-free steel production. A time-resolved linear optimization model was implemented in Python, describing the interaction between a 740 MW electrolyzer (37 units of 20 MW), a hydrogen storage and a constant hydrogen demand. Three operati
Title: When the Map Is Wet, Navigation Still Depends on It: Organizational Sensemaking and Digital Infrastructure Dependency Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change – Master Level Authors: Clara Gerber and Ember Truppelli Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: This study examines how individuals within organizations make sense of digital infrastructure dependency when the
The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) strengthens the regulatory framework for improving the energy performance of the existing building stock in the European Union. In Sweden, the implementation of the directive is particularly relevant for residential buildings with low energy performance, especially buildings in energy classes F and G. This thesis examines how the revised
This thesis, conducted in collaboration with Trelleborg AB, investigates sourcing decisions for metal components within the Anti-Vibration Solutions business unit. The study addresses the challenge of evaluating sourcing alternatives across Europe and Asia-Pacific, where differences in cost, lead times, risk exposure, and sustainability create complex trade-offs. The purpose is to develop a practi
This thesis investigates the ergotropy and usability of a certain quantum battery. The ergotropy is the maximum extractable energy of a cyclic process. First, the battery from a previous thesis is recreated and then this battery is investigated in terms of its ergotropy. The battery is proven to not only be charging but also have an equal increase in ergotropy, hence all of the charged energy is u
This thesis interrogates how the state-led “counterterrorism” and tourism-development discourses operate as complementary technologies of the state’s governance in Xinjiang. Drawing on Foucault’s power/knowledge and biopolitics theory, it examines how these discourses produce the “truth” of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, and how these “truths” jointly operate in facilitating the state’s governance agai
Trots en generell och tydlig minskning av ungdomsbrottsligheten sedan 1990-talet har ungdomsbrottslighet och framförallt ungdomsvåld blivit en viktig samhällsfråga idag. Denna studie tar avstamp i strainteorin som kompletteras med social inlärningsteori för att undersöka ungdomars våldsbrotts relation till ekonomiska problem samt kamraters brottslighet. Syftet är att undersöka hur ungdomars upplev
This thesis examines how participant-made banners from the Strajk Kobiet protests in Poland re-appropriated national and religious symbols to challenge cultural narratives and offer alternative visions of Polishness and womanhood. Set against democratic backsliding and a strong state–Church alliance, the study focuses on five photographs from the Archive of Public Protests, selected for their enga
This comparative study, which includes narrative, rhetoric, and reception analyses of two films depicting the current war in Ukraine—Bucha and 20 Days in Mariupol—explores the differences in how these films are received by various parties involved in the conflict, specifically Ukraine and russia, as well as by other countries affected by the war. The paper also features a chapter on the russian pr
