This thesis examines contemporary Danish public discourse on fertility and demography, where anxiety over declining fertility among women of Danish origin coexists with anxiety over immigrants and their descendants becoming a future demographic majority. The empirical material consists of documents from and adjacent to Danmarks Statistik (2019–2025) and news coverage from Politiken and Danmarks Ra
L1_0-ordered thin-film FePd was measured using AFM, MFM, TEM, XRR and GISAXS to determine what defects were present and how they affected the X-ray scattering. In AFM it was found that there was a terrace structure, with surface steps going along the <110>-direction. These steps originated in dislocations moving from the Pd-FePd interface to the surface, which could be seen in the TEM. The layer t
This thesis examines how residential buildings from different construction periods perform during extended outages of heating, electricity, and ventilation. The purpose was to evaluate building robustness during crisis or war situations and identify technical measures that may improve building resilience. The study combined literature review with engineering calculations related to heat retention,
Självhandikappning är en försvarsstrategi som är relativt outforskad och sannolikt underminerar en persons möjlighet att lyckas. Den aktuella studien undersöker samband mellan självhandikappning och HEXACO-personlighetsdragen; Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Xtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, och Openness. Ett mål med studien var att belysa varför vissa personer är mer benägna än andraSelf-handicapping is a poorly understood defense strategy that plausibly undermines a person's chance of success. The present study examines relations between self-handicapping and the HEXACO-personality traits; namely, Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Xtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. An aim is to shed new light on why some people are more prone to debilitating self-
Monitoring animal populations has several purposes in ecological sciences, including the study of animal behaviour, population dynamics and biodiversity. The common guillemot, known in North America as the common (or thin-billed) murre (Uria aalge), is an important indicator species for the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Stora Karlsö, Sweden, is the most prominent breeding location for guillemots in the B
Urban pluvial flooding threatens transport accessibility, yet the spatial factors such as elevation, vegetation, and road density associated with accessibility loss remain insufficiently understood. This study assessed changes in nearest-facility travel time to hospitals, clinics, schools, supermarkets, and fire stations under a 100-year return period flood scenario in Stockholm, Sweden, for both
A total of 24 UAV flights in the vicinity of integrated sensing and communications-enabled (ISAC) antenna systems, called base stations, were selected to investigate whether tracking can be improved using machine learning methods. This was done by inputting time series of range-Doppler (r-D) maps created from continuously calculating channel estimates of the bistatic environment around base statio
Toxic behavior refers to verbal and behavioral forms of cyberaggression within online multiplayer gaming environments, often attributed to anonymity, player interdependence, competitiveness, and the availability of direct communication channels. This study systematically examined predictors of toxic behavior, including (1) descriptive and injunctive normative beliefs, (2) HEXACO personality traits
The aim of this study was to explore how young adults experience social adaptation on social media compared to everyday offline life. The research question was: how do young adults experience social adaptation online and offline? The study was conducted as a qualitative interview study using semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and based on five interviews wit
Intimate partner violence narratives may be shaped not only by what happened, but also by who the experience is communicated to and what consequences are perceived to be at stake. This study examined whether contextual framing influences how individuals describe self-experienced psychological and physical intimate partner violence in informal, professional, and custody-related contexts. A sample o
The focus of this project was to investigate possible daily and yearly patterns in black carbon emissions throughout Europe based on both actual data obtained from 2018 to 2019 and a transport model created to identify the sources of said black carbon. Previous work with the data had shown large gaps between the observed and predicted values, and our hope was to identify cyclical or seasonal patte
Denna studie undersökte hur längden på videor på sociala medier och videornas innehållstyp influerade arbetsminne och inhibering. Totalt deltog 40 deltagare i åldern 20-44 år, vilka delades in i fyra grupper. Deltagarna fick se antingen en TikTok-spellista med ett flertal korta videor eller en längre YouTube-video, vilka innehöll informativt eller icke-informativt innehåll. Före och efter visningeThis study investigated how the length of social media videos and content type influenced working memory and inhibition. A total of 40 participants aged 20-44 years were assigned to four different groups. They watched either a TikTok playlist with several short-form videos or a longer YouTube video containing informative or noninformative content. Before and after the viewing session, the particip
Bullying involvement in childhood and adolescence is associated with adverse developmental outcomes. Meanwhile, defending victims can reduce or stop bullying in school contexts. Previous research has extensively examined the association between general parenting styles and bullying involvement, whereas little is known on how parental orientations toward regulating adolescents’ social behaviours re
Most correctional facilities in Europe are not only places of confinement but also serve a central role in the rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders into society. The main objective of imprisonment, according to the provisions of international criminal justice regulations in Germany requires that prisoners and young offenders serving custodial sentences are to be enabled to lead a life fre
Title: When the Map Is Wet, Navigation Still Depends on It: Organizational Sensemaking and Digital Infrastructure Dependency Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change – Master Level Authors: Clara Gerber and Ember Truppelli Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: This study examines how individuals within organizations make sense of digital infrastructure dependency when the
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how former members of transnational organized crime organizations experience followership in relation to their leaders, challenging assumptions present in criminological research by integrating organizational constructionist perspectives. Methodology: Guided by abductive reasoning, we studied the narratives of former members of organized crime gro
The purpose of this study is to extend knowledge of how belonging forms in brand communities by investigating how an experience-based brand community cultivates belonging in the absence of a tangible product. This involves examining what substitutes for the product as the community's shared anchor, how this substitute is produced and sustained across multiple sites, how the anchor's relati
