This study examines the linguistic characteristics of the speech of female villains in Japanese fictional dialogue, with the aim of determining whether female villains employ a distinct role language or yakuwarigo, that is, a distinct speech style that indexes characterization based on social stereotypes. An original, small-scale corpus was constructed consisting of dialogue from female villains,

The aim of this study is to identify the relationship between trust in government authorities and the public sector and household preparedness. Furthermore, where such a relationship exists, the study seeks to determine which societal groups generally exhibit higher or lower levels of trust. The study was conducted using a mixed-methods approach, including a survey that collected 402 responses, as

This thesis concerns localisation, shape reconstruction and pose estimation from monocular images. While multiple cameras allows for triangulation to capture depth in scenes, monocular settings require some of relative features, reasonable real-world assumptions, regularisation, Machine Learning (ML) or a combination of these. The accompanying articles to this compilation thesis treats several top

The central complex is a conserved brain region at the core of insect navigation, integrating sensory information to guide behavior across species spanning over 400 million years of evolution. While connectomes of the fruit fly have provided unprecedented detail about its circuitry, understanding how this neural architecture varies across insects with diverse navigational capabilities requires com

Northern Sweden is in the middle of a fundamental industrial reinvigoration. The push for climate neutrality has made the region particularly attractive to sustainable alternatives to the fossil fueled industries of the past. The thesis has investigated Boden county, where the company Stegra, formerly known as H2 Green Steel is aiming to build the world's first fossil free steel manufacturing

This study explores the dissonance between the municipality of Sollefteå and the region of Västernorrland in the case of the restructuring of Sollefteå hospital. This is done through a thematic document analysis and semi-structured interview. The study uses theories of New public Governance, the concept of peripheralization and welfare as a planning tool as the foundation for the analysis. The use

This paper examines how LKAB, the municipality of Kiruna and the Swedish Tenants Union (STU) approached Kiruna’s urban relocation, specifically the tenants' situation that arose during its first phase. Using theories of commodification and gamification of rental housing, the paper analyses how institutional responsibilities toward tenants were understood and negotiated within the Swedish renta

Urbanization and densification place increasing demands on human mental capacity, making access to restorative environments in the city increasingly important. This bachelor's thesis investigates how the City of Stockholm plans for green structure as a resource for residents' mental health and recovery, and how strategies for this have changed between 2006 and 2017. The purpose is to highl

The difference between the English North and South has long been a defining feature within the political and economical debate of the United Kingdom. Research has traditionally been done either explaining the regional inequalities of the region or the examination of the difference in material indicators such as income and employment. This thesis explores the role of the media and how the media dis

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the issue of car dependency is represented within the transportation system of Region Skåne and how that representation shapes the region’s strategy for mobility. This is done through a document analysis of the active version of the transportation strategy from 2017 as well as the soon-to-be implemented draft version from 2025 using the “What’s the prob

De europeiska statsmakterna var under 1600-talet starkt influerade av idén om absolutism och under århundradet utvecklades flera enväldiga stater i Europa. En statskupp i Danmark och en stegvis förändring i Sverige gjorde att även de skandinaviska länderna blev etablerade envälden under senare hälften av 1600-talet. Syftet har varit att undersöka och jämföra enväldeskungarnas maktbefogenheter unDuring the 17th century, the regimes of European countries were heavily influenced by the idea of absolutism, leading to the emergence of several absolutist states during that time. In the second half of the 17th century, a coup staged by the king in Denmark and a gradual shift led by the king in Sweden ensured the establishment of similar absolutist states in Scandinavia. The purpose of this pap

The food processing industry is integral to modern society, with increasing demands for efficiency and sustainability. Industrial food freezers, such as the JBT Marel’s GyroCompact spiral freezer, are energy-intensive systems operating for extended durations daily, making energy efficiency improvements critical both economically and environmentally. This thesis aims to develop a vision-based monit

With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat

This thesis investigates the cost efficiency of two drivetrain configurations — Battery-Only and Hydrogen-Battery — for use in mini-trains operating on non-electrified rural railways. The study focuses solely on drivetrain-related components, including onboard energy storage, traction systems, and associated infrastructure such as charging stations and hydrogen refueling facilities. A comprehensiv

Generativ artificiell intelligens utgör en allt mer central del i många människors vardag med en utveckling som fortskrider obehindrat. Med en ny teknologi uppkommer frågan om dess effekter på individen och individens motivation. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur motivation i arbete samt studier är relaterat till användning av GAI. Detta undersöktes genom Self-Determination Theory. FråThis study examined the relationship between the use of generative AI (GAI), autonomy, competence, relatedness, and attitudes toward GAI. The purpose of the study was to understand how motivation in work and studies is related to the use of GAI using Self-Determination Theory. This study’s research question was therefore: How are perceived autonomy, competence, and relatedness associated with the

Depression, ångest och stress är närliggande former av psykisk ohälsa som ofta uppvisar betydande symtomatisk överlappning. Föreliggande studie undersökte hur enskilda frågor inom självskattningsinstrumenten PHQ-9, GAD-7 och PSS-10 relaterade till respektive skala samt till varandra bland universitetsstudenter, med fokus på vilka frågor som framstod som mest centrala och indikativa för variation iDepression, anxiety, and stress are closely related forms of psychological distress that often exhibit substantial symptomatic overlap. The present study examined how individual items within the self-report instruments PHQ-9, GAD7, and PSS-10 were related to their respective scales as well as to each other among university students, with a focus on which items appeared most central and indicative

I samband med oroliga tider har existentiell hälsa har blivit en växande folkhälsofråga i Sverige. Sedan början av 90-talet har existentiell hälsa beforskats vid sidan om exempelvis psykisk och somatisk hälsa. Forskningen har påvisat ett positivt samband med andra hälsodimensioner, samt med resiliens och allmän livskvalitet. Syftet med denna studie är att ge en fördjupad förståelse för vad existenAs society is faced with troubled times, existential health has become a growing public health concern in Sweden. Existential health has been established as a field of health science since the early 1990s. The research has demonstrated a positive relationship with other health dimensions such as mental and somatic health, as well as to resilience and to general quality of life. The aim of this stu
