This thesis investigates Storasystertips, or big sister advice amongst young Swedish women on TikTok and how it reflects gender dynamics and societal expectations on young women in contemporary society. Women’s cultural production is often met with disdain and reduced to being narcissistic, not realising that young women’s production is in fact shaped by broader postfeminist and neoliberal discour
Cancer is a group of diseases involving the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells with the potential to invade and spread to other parts of the body. As the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient prognosis and survival rates. Despite recent advancements, there remains a shortage of effective biomarkers for early detection of the cancer. The
Plastics play a central role in our society today and are omnipresent. Compost frommgarden waste is used in gardening as a soil amendment. This circular use of plants, branches and other green waste is a way to reduce the use of linear resources for soil amendment, such as peat. A problem that can arise when using compost is the spread of plastic particles from the garden waste to the environment.
There is a rising demand for decarbonizing the building sector since it significantly contributes to global carbon emissions. With a focus on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specifically, this master’s thesis explores the embodied carbon within these building service systems. Utilizing established life cycle assessment methodologies, the case study thoroughly examines the embodied
This study aims to highlight the practical work and experiences of an organization working for Roma rights and inclusion in southern Sweden. Through semi-structured interviews with the agents of CRS (Center Roma South), this study strives for a deeper understanding of the organizations work, needs, and experiences with the Roma population in southern Sweden. The questions to be answered through th
Cancer remains one of the main challenges in healthcare, with profound global impact both in terms of morbidity and mortality. Spago Nanomedical is a Swedish company that has developed innovative metal-ion enriched nanoparticle-based therapies for cancer treatment and diagnosis. These nanoparticles have shown great promise and are currently undergoing clinical trials, however, there persists a des
The purpose of this study is to examine how sustainability trends have affected the operations and evaluation of investments made by Nordic private equity firms, how these trends have affected their investment strategies when using different sustainability measurement tools, and how their compliance process has been affected in the process of adjusting to the new EU regulations related to sustaina
This thesis studies the effects of Higher-Derivative Gravity, in an Effective Field Theory format, on the properties of a rotating black hole. In particular, it corrects the Einstein-Hilbert action with curvature invariants that contain six and eight derivatives. The resulting Equations Of Motion are first derived, and then solved with an ansatz that permits the study of black holes with an arbitr
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur ungdomar och vuxna som vuxit upp med en förälder med ett alkoholberoende beskriver sina emotioner samt vilken påverkan dessa emotioner fått på deras beteenden i barndomen. Studien utgår från en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där blogginlägg från barnrättsorganisationen Maskrosbarn analyseras. Dessa blogginlägg är skrivna av ungdomar eller vuxna som själva vuxit upp
The European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec
This thesis explores the intersection of ceremonial spaces and the concept of “the thinking hand” in architecture, with a focus on the design of secular spaces for funerals and burials in the context of Sweden’s increasing secularization. Drawing upon Juhani Pallasmaa’s “The Thinking Hand,” the thesis emphasizes the importance of embodied knowledge, sensory experiences, and materiality in architec
While cameras are the most prevalent devices used in physical surveillance and monitoring, there are situations where they are ineffective. In adverse weather conditions, darkness or privacy-sensitive contexts, there are excellent opportunities to replace or complement cameras with radar. There are advanced and successful computer vision solutions for cameras, in areas such as object detection or
This thesis investigates the diffusion conditions of Wilson Golf’s recently launched Wilson Fit AI, an innovative custom fitting technology that leverages artificial intelligence to enhance the customer experience. This technology has the potential to transform norms and disrupt the status quo in custom fitting. Using innovation diffusion theory, the author evaluates the diffusion opportunities
This study examines the effects on risk-minimisation by incorporating emerging market equities in a portfolio, from the perspective of a Swedish investor. Since investors usually care about returns these are also a part of the study. The hypothesis is that the international diversification benefits will outweigh the higher risks of emerging market equities. The analysis is conducted on 267 monthly
In my master's thesis, I explore the post-war scenario in Ukraine, focusing on the aftermath of the conflict. My primary objective is to formulate a comprehensive strategy that not only accelerates the reconstruction process but also promotes sustainable growth in a targeted area. For my project, I have chosen the city of Kherson. Positioned as a vital port city on the Black Sea and the Dniep
Denna studie utforskade möjligheterna att använda sig av särskilda mer lättillgängliga enzymer ur tidigare studiers enzymblandningar för att ta reda på hur de kan bryta ner kolhydraterna hos brunalgen S. latissima till fermenterbara sockerkedjor utan specifikt anpassade enzymer som Alginate lyase och Laminarinase. Enzymerna som användes var α-Amylas, β-Amylas och Amyloglukosidas, tre enzymer som o
This study has been conducted to show the meaning of how background factors and attitudes affect the usage of chemical products in urban gardens in Lund. This was performed with the use of a questionnaire that was sent out to two Facebook groups, Lunds Trädgårdssällskap and another private group oriented towards people who live in or come from Lund. From an environmental perspective, this study is
E-waste is one of the largest environmental hazards of the modern era. As more products are thrown away, more hazardous chemicals and pollutants are put into both the landfills and water systems, some of which is drinking water for not just people but also animals and plants. Repairing these devices allows them to have a longer lifespan which minimises e-waste. The RtR movement has sought to make
