This thesis has researched how analytical tools can be used to assist in balancing supply and demand at the global telecommunications company Ericsson. The project stems from a need to manage demand uncertainty in Sales and Operations Planning in order to make scenario analysis both standardized and data-driven. Consequently, the purpose was to develop a practical scenario planning framework and t
Current structural fire engineering practice generally assumes that the pre-flashover fire (growth) stage has a negligible influence on structural response and therefore considers only post-flashover conditions. The Eurocode parametric fire, widely used for structural fire design, follows this approach. This thesis investigates the influence of incorporating pre-flashover temperature on the therma
Children’s and adolescents’ sexuality is closely linked to identity, relationships, mental health, and social development. Despite sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) being highlighted as central public health issues, previous research indicates that sexuality is often given limited attention within psychiatric care. The present study aims to explore how health social workers within C
In today’s media landscape, popular cultural narratives play an increasingly important role in how places are understood and experienced. This study examines how these narratives are integrated and transformed within strategic place communication. By analyzing Visit Malmö’s communication surrounding the Netflix series Diary of a Ditched Girl, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of ho
Between 2024 and 2026, AI providers launched dedicated agent products and presented them as tools that can plan, decide and carry out marketing tasks with greater independence than earlier generative AI. On LinkedIn, Swedish marketing executives and industry opinion leaders produce a parallel discourse that reaches the same professional audience. This study examines how the relationship between th
This essay uses Judith Butler’s theory on gender, Michel Foucault’s theory of governmentality, Roland Barthes’ theory on mythology and the theory of populationism to analyse the Swedish government appointed research group Framtid med barns (“Future with children”) four currently published reports on low childbirth rates in Sweden. Through a thematic content analysis with discursive elements, the a
Title: Design and Development of a Digital RAM Tool for AUVs Authors: Oscar Cedell and Jacob Persson Supervisors: Johan Marklund (LTH), Gustav Rehnborg (Saab Naval), and Niklas Blomgren (Saab Naval) Problem description: Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are longlife, mission-critical systems for which life cycle cost is strongly affected by Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability (RA
The textile industry is one of the world’s most polluting industries and generates large amounts of waste due to increasing consumption and short product lifetimes. At the same time, a significant fraction of textile waste consists of cellulose-based materials such as viscose, making textile waste a potential renewable carbon source for the production of bio-based chemicals. In this study, a multi
This study examines the extent to which rational communication influences consumer purchase intention for running shoes compared to emotional communication, and whether gender and need for cognition (NFC) moderate this relationship. Drawing on the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) as its theoretical framework, the study employed a between-subjects experimental design with a randomized online surv
This master’s thesis examines how climate responsibility is formulated in policy and governance documents of Swedish national museum authorities. Drawing on a text analysis, the study investigates how climate-related issues are articulated, what meanings are attributed to sustainability, and how these formulations are shaped by institutional contexts. The theoretical framework combines social ecol
This study examines how self-tracking technologies are repurposed within the creative practice of GPS art, focusing on how meaning is produced when tools designed for optimization and behavioral regulation are redirected toward expressive and communicative ends. The motivation for this inquiry lies in the need to understand the relationship between humans and machines beyond deterministic accounts
Global plastic waste production has more than doubled in the past two decades, with plastic packaging accounting for 40% in 2019. Due to low recycling rates, pollution and limited fossil resources, increasing circularity in the plastic industry has become increasingly important. Chemical recycling through pyrolysis, unlike mechanical recycling, can treat contaminated, mixed plastic waste and incre
The Thesis examines how political news satire functions within Armenia's hybrid political regime by analysing ArmComedy, a well-known satirical show. Current scholarship on political satire mostly focuses on Western, developed democracies and examines effect-based questions of knowledge, mobilisation, engagement, and participation, leaving a gap in understanding how political satire functions
What can monuments do as communicative and imaginative media? This thesis exemplifies how counter-monuments present an entry point for Media and Communication scholars to re- conceptualise traditional monuments, shifting the focus from a noun to a processual verb based on conviviality. Accordingly, using a case-study methodology informed by Flyvbjerg’s (2001) and Dewey’s (1934) pragmatic understan
This study examines how archivists in Sweden perceive and relate to the development of artificial intelligence (AI), particularly in relation to their professional role, practice, and conditions surrounding the use of AI. While AI has been described as having significant potential for increasing efficiency, handling large volumes of digital material, and improving access to archives, it also raise
This thesis examines the Chinese audience’s emotional response and moral position towards mediated distant suffering on Douban under the documentary Puujee. Drawing on Boltanski’s Politics of pity, Chouliaraki’s analytics of mediation and Schein’s concept of internal orientalism this study conducts a qualitative single case study on Douban 210 comments. Used Thematic coding to identify recurring t
This thesis explores the contradiction between the visibility of Black culture and the social invisibility of Black people in contemporary Japan. Black cultural forms are widely consumed in Japanese popular culture, from music and fashion to hairstyles, yet Black residents remain systematically marginalized in mainstream media and public discourse. The myth of tan'itsu minzoku sustains this co
The number and complexity of modern software systems have increased substantially since their inception. This unrelenting growth is making manual code review more difficult year by year, and the gap between the amount of code and security verification creates a critical need for automated tools that can assist developers in detecting vulnerabilities. A possible solution to this is large language m
I takt med att offentliga institutioner i allt högre grad använder sociala medier har plattformar som TikTok blivit viktiga verktyg för att nå yngre målgrupper. Denna studie undersöker hur unga vuxna mellan 18 och 20 år uppfattar och tolkar Försvarsmaktens kommunikation på TikTok, med fokus på govtainment, humor, informellt tilltal och institutionell trovärdighet. Utifrån ett mottagarperspektiv un
