Title: TAKT Production System for Assembly (including material supply) of Crushing Equipment at Sandvik Problem formulation: A major part of Sandvik’s production system is driven by forecasting. While this method provides a structured approach for anticipating future demand, it introduces several operational challenges that disrupt the capacity of the equipment assembly line and flexibility. Thes

This study investigates how strategic communication can be utilized to reduce the risk behavior of railway track trespassing (“spårspring”) in Sweden, by conducting a qualitative content analysis of three selected risk communication campaigns: Klara, färdiga (Sweden), Sett grenser - Sei ifra! (Norway), and THINK! (UK). The research focuses on investigating the communicative strategies and thematic

This thesis critically examines the Swedish ‘Security Zones’ legislation, the associated governmental discourse on organised criminality, and their implications for equality and racial justice. Through a critical discourse analysis, the thesis illustrates how the extended discretion afforded through the legislation facilitates law enforcement’s capacity for racial profiling and discrimination. It

Problem Statement: Sandvik Rock Processing is in the need for a classification tool, which can help them improve their inventory management. Currently, there are problems with inefficiencies with deficit as well as excess in inventory. The new classification shall the basis for the differentiation of service levels and facilitate a shared view on items’ importance. Purpose: The purpose of this th

The thesis explores the agency of material artefacts in shaping co-presence and facilitating social interaction in three central squares in Malmö, Sweden: Stortorget, Lilla Torg, and Gustav Adolfs Torg. Drawing on a relational approach to space and Actor-Network Theory, the study combines structured and unstructured observations to analyse patterns of mobility, activity, and interaction. Findings

Dwarf galaxies are perfect candidates for studying dark matter due to their abundance in our Universe, low baryonic content and diverse appearance. They are considered as one of the most important probes of cosmological models, such as the most accepted ΛCDM, and are particularly important in the context of evolution of galactic environments. Satellite galaxies and their remnants can give us furth

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global economy, and I want to know whether China, as one of the world’s major economies, has chosen to sacrifice environmental resources for economic development during the post-pandemic era. By combining social factors and natural environmental factors, I established a model of the air quality changing trends among China’s major cities. According to comparis

The rule of law is a cornerstone of modern constitutional democracies, not merely as a safeguard against tyranny and arbitrariness, but as a principle inherently connected to human rights, legal certainty, and democratic accountability. Within the European Union, recent years have witnessed growing tensions between the expansion of regulatory frameworks and the preservation of individual guarantee

This thesis explores how urban design can help commuter towns like Rimbo shift from passive “sleeping cities” into resilient, livable, and locally grounded communities. Using Rimbo as a case study, the project responds to its growing regional role and strong local identity by proposing a new mobility hub and five design strategies. These aim to strengthen connections, activate the town center, and

Denna uppsatsen undersöker hur den ukrainska fintech-aktören Monobank har använt strategisk kommunikation på Instagram för att mobilisera resurser och stöd för nationella intressen under Rysslands invasion av Ukraina. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av bankens inlägg på Instagram, kompletterad med semistrukturerad intervju, analyserar studien hur retorik, storytelling, mobilisering och affektiThis thesis investigates how the Ukrainian fintech actor Monobank has employed strategic communication on Instagram to mobilize resources and support for national interests during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Through a qualitative content analysis of the bank’s Instagram posts, supplemented by semi-structured interview, the study examines how rhetorics, storytelling, mobilization, and affective b

This thesis investigates how the effectiveness of monetary policy varies across high- and low-inflation regimes by examining high-frequency monetary policy shocks in the eurozone, Sweden, and the United Kingdom from August 2004 to August 2024. Using local projection with regime-dependent specifications, it assesses the varying impact of contractionary shocks in low- and high-inflation environments

Följande studie undersöker sambandet mellan självrapporterad ensamhet och användning av artificiell intelligens (AI), med en uppdelning mellan social (t.ex. chattbotar) och produktiv (t.ex. akademiska verktyg) användning, utifrån kön och ålder. Totalt besvarade 92 deltagare UCLA Loneliness Scale samt två egenutvecklade skalor för AI-användning. Resultaten visar att ensamhet signifikant predicerar This study investigates the relationship between self-reported loneliness and AI usage, distinguishing between social (e.g., chatbots) and productive (e.g., academic tools) usage across gender and age. In total, 92 participants completed the UCLA Loneliness Scale and two custom AI usage scales. Findings reveal that loneliness significantly predicts greater use of social AI, but not productive usag

Deforestation is a major issue due to the multitude of negative impacts it has on the environment, forests are for example important carbon sinks, and thus deforestation contributes to climate change. Additionally, inequality is on the rise, both within and between countries. A lot of deforestation occurs in countries with high levels of inequality, such as South American countries. It is therefor

This study examines how different age compositions within a football squad affect a club’s sporting performance and financial development over time. Five squad versions with systematically varied proportions of young and older players were simulated in the game Football Manager 2024™. Each version was followed over ten seasons, resulting in a total of 25 simulations (five repetitions per version).

This master thesis focuses on redesigning the Competence profile within Grade AB’s product Grade Talent. The Competence profile is a competence management tool that enables managers, HR departments, and employees to track and overview em- ployee capabilities. Our work aimed to enhance usability through interface restruc- turing while implementing new functionality to visualize competence developme

As the urgency of addressing climate change intensifies, innovative financial instruments are needed to align capital markets with sustainability goals. This thesis explores the concept of the \textit{transition linker}, a hypothetical performance-linked sovereign bond whose cash flows depend on greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, as outlined in its Nationally Determined Contributions under

The thesis presents a poetic and intimate correspondence to be heard in the format of a 6 chapter script that relays an emmergence of a (meta)physical garden of revolt where a cohort entity of embodied and unembodied voices converse, organize, reflect and act from. They also engage the reader intimately through conversation and performative instructions to embody and articulate different proposals

This study provides a comprehensive sedimentological and geochemical analysis of the Late Quaternary Köttsjön sequence in central Sweden. Its aim is to identify the processes and transport mechanisms involved in till formation, and to investigate ice dynamics and sediment provenance. Ultimately, the research contributes to a better understanding of glacial dynamics and palaeoenvironmental evolutio

Sweden has received a high number of immigrants during the last decade. This has led to an increased ethnic and socioeconomic segregation in Swedish cities, which in turn has led to different integration initiatives to become more frequent. This thesis aims to investigate how a “buddy programme”, a social integration project that matches a newcomer and an established Swede together, can enrich the
