In this paper, I draw on my background as an educational scientist with roots in sociology and gender studies to explore how public debate, political reforms, and policy documents shape Swedish teacher education with the aim of reforming not only the school system but also Swedish society. Historically, teacher education in Sweden has been influenced by visionary ideals, particularly with the intr
Background/Objectives: There is a lack of research examining healthcare professionals' perspectives regarding the potential of non-pharmacological solutions such as immersive virtual reality (VR). The aim of this study was to investigate opportunities and challenges related to the application of immersive virtual reality (VR) technology in patients aged 65 and older undergoing surgery with regiona
The speedy advancement of digital technologies in the last decade has introduced new tools, workflows and stakeholders in diplomacy, creating significant information demands and a state of “digital stress”. To navigate these challenges, diplomats employ coping strategies that leverage their reflexivity and autonomy to manage demands, prioritize tasks, and mitigate overload. Beyond merely adapting
The angular correlations between charged Ξ baryons and associated identified hadrons (pions, kaons, protons, Λ baryons, and Ξ baryons) are measured in pp collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ALICE detector to give insight into the particle production mechanisms and balancing of quantum numbers on the microscopic level. In particular, the distribution of strangeness is investigated in the correlations
A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, tt¯, and tb)
This paper presents the measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections for both the inclusive and electroweak production of a same-sign W-boson pair in association with two jets (W±W±jj) using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is performed by selecting two same-charge
A comprehensive study of the local and nonlocal amplitudes contributing to the decay B0 → K*0(→ K+π−)μ+μ− is performed by analysing the phase-space distribution of the decay products. The analysis is based on pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.4 fb−1 collected by the LHCb experiment. This measurement employs for the first time a model of both one-particle and two-part
This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and firm-level risk among publicly listed companies in the Nordic countries. While prior research suggests that ESG may reduce firm risk, evidence for the Nordic region remains limited despite its high sustainability standards. Using panel data on 380 firms from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finlan
This thesis engages with the role of social movements within development studies by analysing how these movements relate to their context and how LGBTIQ movements contribute to current studies on grassroots’ contribution to development. It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio
The Internet’s importance and the threats it faces make the global governance system crucial. The EU’s influence on these global governance principles is understudied, making the level of unity and effectiveness indefinite. This thesis aims to uncover this gap in the research, leading to the research question: How can the EU unite and be effective when negotiating global internet governance princi
The growing demand for corporate transparency and sustainability has intensified the need for effective sustainability reporting, especially in industries like fashion, which face significant environmental and social challenges. This study examines how Patagonia, a leader in sustainable fashion, applies the Double Materiality (DM) framework in its social media communications, focusing on Instagram
This study investigates the financial effects of the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with a particular focus on whether firms’ greenhouse gas emissions influence the financial impact of these regulations. While previous research has examined the impact of ESG disclosures on financial performance, no studies have investigated whether a firm’s environmental risk, as measur
