This thesis examines what happens to a city’s maritime heritage when it transitions from being lived in shipyards, to being managed in office buildings. Set in the post-industrial harbor district of Västra Hamnen in Malmö, Sweden, the study investigates how the gentrification of a former shipyard created the spatial and symbolic conditions for the World Maritime University (WMU), a United Nations

Self-leadership is becoming increasingly important in organisations characterized by knowledge intensive work and boundaryless work. The aim with this study was to investigate the following research questions: a.What types of strategies of self-leadership are used by the co-workers? b. What aspects influence co-workers´ adoption of self-leadership strategies? c. How are the self- leadership strate

Tidigare studier har visat en minskning av artrikedom i tundraekosystem i norra Fennoskandien, vilket innebär en betydande risk för ekosystemens funktion samt för renskötselns betesmarker. I samband med klimatförändringar och ökad mänsklig aktivitet är det därför viktigt att undersöka sambandet mellan artrikedom, aktuella och historiska miljöförhållanden samt antropogen påverkan. För att adresseraPrevious studies have shown a recent decline of vegetation diversity across tundra ecosystems in Northern Fennoscandia, posing a significant risk to ecosystem functioning and reindeer grazing. In the context of climate change and increasing human activities, it is essential to evaluate the nexus between vegetation diversity, current and historical environmental conditions and human impact.

MAX IV Laboratory is a modern synchrotron light source, providing synchrotron radiation used in a wide range of experiments. The production of synchrotron radiation used in experiments typically takes place in insertion devices (IDs), in which an oscillatory motion is induced in traversing electrons, stimulating the emission of synchrotron radiation. IDs consist of a periodic arrangement of magnet

Detta projekt undersöker hur förståelsen av företagshuvudkontoret som en arkitektonisk typologi kan lägga grunden för dess omvandling till en ny urban funktion. Projektet utvecklas som en fallstudie av Ericssons tidigare huvudkontor i Kista, ett stort kontorskomplex som för närvarande står tomt under en period med höga vakansgrader i ett område som genomgår förändring. I takt med att denna del av

Research Purpose: This study examines how middle- and long-distance triathletes use the symbolic consumption of extraordinary endurance experiences to construct and communicate their identity across the full consumption journey. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of symbolic consumption by Elliott and Wattanasuwan (1998) is used to analyse how triathletes’ use the symbolic consumpti

This thesis examines how American Author Jack London’s dystopian novel The Iron Heel (1908) depicts freedom as limited and unattainable under the conditions of concentrated economic power from an oligarchy. While previous discourse on The Iron Heel has focused on the intentions behind the creation of the novel, seeing it as either a work of protest, propaganda, or a way to endorse a Marxist ideolo

Detta examensarbete tar fram ett förslag för en ny arena vid Norra Hovstallängen i Uppsala och undersöker hur en storskalig evenemangs- och idrottsbyggnad kan integreras i en av stadens mest centrala och strategiskt placerade platser, i nära anslutning till Uppsala centralstation. Platsens läge i staden väcker frågor kring hur en sådan framträdande yta bör användas, och vilket värde en storskalig

Invasive alien species are plants and animals introduced to new areas by humans with a negative effect on various habitats. In Sweden the shrub Rosa rugosa has recently been put on a national list of species that should be addressed as a cause of concern. Rosa rugosa was moved by humans to Europe in the 17th hundreds, with the intention of using it as an ornamental plant. It has also been used as

Acoustophoresis, the manipulation of microscopic particles by acoustic forces, has found growing use in biomedical applications ranging from blood-cell separation to single-cell positioning in microfluidic chips [1,2,3,4]. Existing multimodal control algorithms for such devices were developed under the assumption that particles do not influence one another. This simplification holds when only one

Consumer brands increasingly enter co-branding collaborations with popular streaming series, seeking to transfer cultural meanings and pre-existing emotional attachments directly onto their brand and products. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining co-branding with streaming series from a personal care brand perspective, asking which factors influence consumer purchase intent

Within the field of Strategic Communication, geopolitical rivalries are increasingly understood as struggles for narratives and discursive dominance. This thesis explores a critical juncture in this landscape: the period between late 2025 and early 2026, marked by US President Donald Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland, stating the US would take it “one way or another”. The study examines ho

Denna autoetnografiska studie i textformat undersöker hur reumatoid artrit kan förändra en musikers övningspraktik, tekniska arbete och förståelse av konstnärlig utveckling. Bakgrunden är mitt eget insjuknande under pågående musikutbildning, vilket påverkade möjligheten till kontinuerligt instrumentalutövande. Studien genomförs genom en analys av tre perioder i mitt arbete med Dittersdorfs kontrabThis autoethnographic study, presented in written format, examines how rheumatoid arthritis may transform a musician’s practice routine, technical work, and understanding of artistic development. The background is my own illness during higher music education, which affected the possibility of continuous practice of my instrument. The study is based on an analysis of three periods in my work with D

Swedish law states that all children are entitled to attend school. Despite this, studies indicate shortcomings in the implementation of equal educational opportunities for every child. Since the Swedish police department classifies certain areas as “vulnerable”, the question arises whether students’ rights to equal educational opportunities might be affected by such classifications. Consequently,

Reliable representation of reservoir operations in large-scale hydrological models remains challenging because reservoir releases are shaped not only by highly variable hydrological conditions but also by complex human operating objectives. While simplified rule-based schemes are commonly used, they often struggle to reproduce observed release behaviour across diverse reservoirs.This thesis evalua

This study investigates how candidates perceive and experience artificial intelligence-driven recruitment processes, and how these experiences shape their broader impressions of hiring organizations. Drawing on 11 semi-structured interviews with individuals from diverse professional backgrounds who had firsthand experience with AI-assisted recruitment, the research adopts a qualitative, abductive

n modern telecommunications, the ever increasing demands on signal bandwidth with the adoption of Millimeter Wave (mm-W) frequency bands for the Fifth-Generation (5G) standard make ensuring Power Amplifier (PA) linearity, while maintaining efficiency, a major challenge in the design of Transmitter (TX) circuits. As Digital Pre- Distortion (DPD) linearizers become too power hungry for wide-band app

Global sourcing increasingly takes place in a politically unstable environment where supplier relationships are shaped by traditional factors like cost and operational performance, but also by geopolitical uncertainty. While existing literature has examined broad supply chain responses to geopolitical disruption, limited attention has been given to how sourcing professionals reason and respond at
