This thesis examines how museums display human remains in relation to artefacts within the same exhibition contexts. While previous research has largely focused on ethical questions, repatriation, and public reactions to human remains, fewer studies have systematically compared how museums materially and affectively differentiate human remains from other museum objects. The study investigates

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 thesis examines how archivists perceive different archival spaces, with an emphasis on physical and digital archives. The study is based on four semi-structured interviews with Swedish archivists who all work in public archives. A key aim of the research has been to let the informants reflect on how the various archival environments make them feel – and which of the senses they invoke – rathe

In the early 20th century, researchers from folklore archives travelled across Sweden to collect stories from rural communities and peasant society, as this culture was widely believed to be disappearing as more people moved to urban areas. These stories became part of collections that are now documented as part of Swedish cultural heritage. In the 1970s, however, these collections were criticised

The purpose of this master thesis is to explore how platformization and artificial intelligence are reshaping power and governance in the digital economy, with a particular focus on the relationship between private technology companies and the public sector. Governments and institutions often present AI as necessary for innovation, economic growth, and efficiency, while researchers and representat

This master’s thesis studies several interviews conducted and recorded by the Swedish national archives in the 1980s. The interviews in question were carried out by a department at the national archives focusing specifically on acquisition and mapping of private archives. Between 1980 and 1991, employees at the department interviewed at least 20 people and recorded their stories, which were then a

This study evaluates an object-based image analysis (OBIA) approach using YOLOv11s-seg instance segmentation model for classifying thermally relevant land cover types from 0.16 m resolution orthophotos across three municipalities in Scania, Sweden. Six thermally relevant classes were defined: asphalt, bright roof, brown roof, dark roof, tree canopy and grass. The model was trained on annotations f

Landslide susceptibility models (LSMs) are essential to mitigate the danger of landslides, and with a changing climate posing potential risks to model accuracy, it is vital to understand the role that precipitation plays within LSMs and the effect shifting climatic conditions may have on model accuracy. This study produced a logistic regression LSM in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of North Caroli

I uppsatsen användes motor- och perceptions deltesten som tillhör Bender Visual- Motor Gestalt Test andra versionen (BGT-II) med en tillagd tidsvariabel för att utforska kognitiva nedsättningar i kliniska grupper. Skillnader utforskades både mellan vuxna deltagare med Autismspektrumtillstånd (ASD), Attention Deficits Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), komorbid ASD och ADHD (AuDHD) och friska kontrolleIn the present thesis the motor and perceptual subtests of the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test second edition (BGT-II) with added exploratory time variables were utilized to explore cognitive deficits in clinical samples. Differences were explored both between adult participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), comorbid ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and

Denna studie undersökte erfarenheter av tidigt moderskap, med särskilt fokus på förändring och kontinuitet i självupplevelsen. Inom psykologin har tidigt moderskap ofta förståtts genom ramverk som fokuserar på patologi eller moderns betydelse för barnet. Dessa ramverk och teorier formar också vilka delar av moderskapet som blir synliga, legitima eller möjliga att uttrycka, medan andra aspekter av This study explored experiences of early motherhood. Within psychology, early motherhood has often been understood through frameworks concerned with pathology or the mother’s function in relation to the child. Such frameworks and psychological theories also shape which aspects of motherhood become visible, or possible to express, leaving other parts of the transition less visible. This raises ques

This study explored how young Swedish adults aged 20–30 describe and understand experiences of weight-based bullying during their school years, as well as their ways of coping. A qualitative design using semi-structured interviews was employed. The sample consisted of nine young adults with a mean age of 24.7 years, including two males and seven females. All participants had lived with overweight

Environmental and health risks are increasing in large Mediterranean cities like Athens, where high urban density and limited vegetation intensify the Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. This study analyzes the spatial patterns of surface urban heat in Athens, Greece, using satellite-derived Land Surface Temperature (LST) as a proxy for UHI conditions. LST datasets were derived from Landsat 8 thermal

Sociala medier har blivit en central arena där konsumtionsrelaterat innehåll, trender och knapphetspräglade produkter sprids i ett snabbt tempo mellan konsumenter. Samtidigt har användningen av knapphetstaktiker såsom begränsade upplagor och tidsbegränsade erbjudanden blivit allt vanligare inom marknadsföring. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på sambandet mellan knapphetstaktiker, FOMO och

Denna studie undersöker hur hållbarhetsansvariga inom den svenska hotellbranschen förstår hållbarhetscertifieringars roll i branschens klimatomställning samt hur hållbarhet tolkas i relation till cirkulär ekonomi. Bakgrunden till studien är hotellbranschens centrala position i omställningen mot mer hållbara verksamheter, samtidigt som hållbarhetscertifieringar fått en allt större betydelse som ver

Denna kvalitativa studie uppmärksammar unga kvinnor i handelsbranschen och dess villkor till följd av en förändrad arbetsmarknad, där olika yrkesgrupper genomgått förändringar som lett till osäkra anställningar. Tidigare forskning uppmärksammar handelsbranschen som den bransch med flest osäkra anställningar. Handelsbranschen uppmärksammas dessutom som den bransch som sysselsätter flest kvinnor. S

Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.

This study investigates patterns of set fires and vandalism in Malmö. An aim to understand spatial, temporal, and social patterns of such phenomena underpins the study. The research questions are: “How are vandalism and set fires distributed geographically in Malmö?”, “How does the geographical distribution of crimes correlate with school holidays and vacation?” and “To what extent does socioecono

In recent years, the future of Bromma Airport in Stockholm has become a recurring and contested issue in Swedish public debate, shaped by shifting political priorities, climate ambitions and urban development needs. This thesis examines how Bromma Airport is problematized in Swedish public documents, which competing actors and discourses can be identified and how are arguments for and against clos

Public transport is essential for closing the gap between different geographical locations. The equal distribution of opportunities to travel is fundamental in both Edward Soja’s theory of spatial justice and Karel Martens’ theory of transport justice. Access to modes of transport may vary according to the socioeconomic status of the area, creating differences in transport opportunities based on l
