I föreliggande studie undersöks den kontroversiella skönlitteraturens roll i svenskämnets litteraturundervisning särskilt i relation till skolans värdegrund. Den empiriska undersökningen utgörs av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex verksamma gymnasielärare i svenska. Intervjuerna analyseras med hjälp av Rita Felskis (2008) samt Björn Bradlings (2020) teoretiska begrepp för att förklara litteratu
This thesis examines the relation between digitalization, in the form of smart cities, and the core-periphery logic, trying to understand how digitalization has affected the narration that shapes regional inequalities, smart city governance and the future of regional development. Through an analytical narrative approach, this research examines policy documents, alongside the case studies of Aizuwa
In recent years, against the backdrop of declining fertility rates, China has shifted toward family policies that encourage childbirth. However, this family policies does not significantly reverse the trend of low birth rates.

This paper studies the relationship between Thai-Cambodia border tensions and cooperation against online fraud from February 2021 to February 2026. Online fraud has become a serious cross-border problem in Southeast Asia, and Thailand and Cambodia both have reasons to cooperate against scam compounds and related criminal networks. At the same time, their relationship is shaped by a long history of
This thesis investigates the applicability of using machine learning for demand forecasting at HMS Networks. Using the design science research methodology, multiple forecasting artifacts were developed and tested iteratively, using historical sales data. Four tree-based models; Decision Tree, Random Forest, LightGBM and XGBoost, were tested with different pre-processing and feature engineering tec
Global manufacturing companies operate in increasingly uncertain and complex environments where changes in sourcing strategies, supplier structures and logistics networks create significant challenges for decision- making. Traditional analytical methods often struggle to capture the dynamic and interconnected nature of modern supply chains, limiting their ability to support proactive evaluation

Lignin, the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, is a promising renewable material but remains underutilized due to challenges in its dissolution and processing. This study combines a literature review and an experimental investigation to better understand the solubility behavior of kraft lignin in different solvent systems. The literature review analyzed recent studies (2012-2023) on
In this study a development of a GC-FID method to detect adulteration in commercial olive oils based on fatty acid composition and free fatty acid content was conducted. Adulteration of olive oils and especially extra virgin olive oils is a common issue. Due to their popularity and high cost they are often mixed with other vegetable oils or lower quality olive oil for increased profit. Olive oil h
Wind generation’s growing share of Nordic electricity supply has made imbalance settlement an increasingly costly exposure for producers. Under the Nordic single-price mechanism, all residual imbalance is settled at a single imbalance price, regardless of direction, determined by the mFRR activation market. Before that price is known, the producer fixes a day-ahead position, adjusts on the continu
Variations in groundwater levels result from several complex hydrological processes (such as precipitation, evapotranspiration and groundwater-surface water interactions), and the groundwater response depends on factors including topography and physical properties related to the geology of the aquifer. By studying time series of hydrogeological data, such as groundwater levels and precipitation, i
This thesis examines how intelligent case evaluation systems participate in the everyday production, interpretation, and enforcement of judicial norms within Chinese judicial organizations. Drawing on a qualitative documentary analysis of central-level policy documents, a published technical patent, and operational reports from courts and procuratorates, the study traces how abstract expectations
The current crime debate in Sweden surrounds the overarching issue of criminal networks and children’s exploitation by them. In Sweden, younger children are getting involved in serious criminality, carrying out offences for criminal gangs such as murder and aggravated weapons crimes, which has sparked the government’s interest in possible changes to the youth criminal justice system. One of those
This thesis analyses the emergence of judicial tax litigation in Peru as a differentiated professional practice among tax lawyers. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and documentary review, the research reconstructs the process through which certain high-value tax disputes, initially channelled through administrative venues, gradually moved into the Judiciary. The central argument is that this
This paper examines how institutional vulnerabilities are reproduced, institutionalised, and solidified through the translation of legal norms within Japan’s new admission policy, the Employment for Skill Development (ESD) system. Japan has de facto accepted foreign workers for over three decades by granting various residence statuses to address its declining birthrate and labour shortage. However
Crime prevention in Sweden has become decentralised as the municipalities’ responsibility to contribute to the national crime preventive work has been established in law, while still being shared with the state. At the same time, national focus has shifted to organised criminality and the production of the criminal other. The aim of this thesis was to explore how these two policy developments were
