“Det var så skönt när en kollega bekräftade att det jag upplevde var på riktigt” En mixed methods studie om hbtq-personers erfarenheter av arbetsplatsrelationer

Både positiva och negativa aspekter av arbetet bidrar till hur en trivs på arbetet generellt. Arbetsplatsen beskrivs både som en friskfaktor och som en plats där homosexuella, bisexuella, transpersoner och queera (hbtq-personer) kan få utstå trakasserier såsom mikroaggressioner och ohövlighet. Syftet med denna mixed methods studie var att undersöka relationer på arbetsplatsen ur två perspektiv. DeBoth positive and negative aspects in the workplace contribute to job satisfaction. The workplace is described both as a health factor as well as a place where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) individuals may face harassment such as microaggressions and incivility. The aim of this mixed methods study was to explore relationships in the workplace from two perspectives. First, q

Investigation of event-shape classifiers for proton-proton collisions with the ALICE experiment

This project uses proton-proton collision data from the ALICE experiment at CERN to investigate the differences between three ways to classify events, known as event shape classifiers. The event shape classifiers that were investigated are RT , spherocity and flattenicity. The motivation behind this is the consistent use of these classifiers to select events when investigating the heavy-ion like

Beyond Basel: Capital Structure Decisions in European Banks

The empirical analysis conducted in this study explores the determinants of leverage thus capital structure formation in the European banking sector from 2012 to 2023. Utilizing a panel data regression methodology, we analyze relationships among key financial factors and apply the theory of capital structure to the results presented, accounting for regulatory constraints. Our findings underscore t

Analysis of the Molecular Crosstalk Between Tumor Cells and the Microenvironment in Lymphatic Metastasis

Lymphatic metastasis is a critical determinant of poor prognosis in various human cancers, facilitating further dissemination through the vascular system. However, the absence of an appropriate murine model impedes the comprehensive study of lymphatic metastasis. To address this, the host laboratory employs the EO771 mouse mammary carcinoma model, which ectopically expresses the chemokine receptor

Methods to Automatically Transform MR Images of the Brain into the AC-PC Coordinate System

One way to reduce the growing workload for radiologists is to automate the trans- formation of 3D MR images of the brain into the AC-PC coordinate system. In this thesis, both non-deformable and deformable image registration methods were used to register images to a template in the desired space, the AC-PC coordinate system. First, three non-deformable transformations were used together with three

Effektivisering av arbete med klimatdeklarationer inom byggsektorn

On January 1, 2022, the first requirement regarding climate declarations was introduced. This mandate specified that all new buildings must include climate declarations during the construction phase, encompassing modules A1-A5. In 2025, limit values are also planned to be added for the existing modules included in the 2022 climate declarations. These required values will be implemented as a signif

Care and Conquer - Impacts of Corporate Acquisition on Primary Care Providers

Since 2010 and the enactment of the primary care reform, accredited private providers have been allowed unrestricted establishment in Sweden. Today, this means that a large share of primary care in Sweden is provided by large corporations. However, despite the important role that primary care plays, research into how private ownership affects the care that is provided is very limited. Drawing from

ESG Rating and Financial Performance: A Comparison Between State-Owned and Non-State-Owned Sectors in the Chinese Stock Market

Following the adoption of the "double carbon" policy in China, the concept of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) has gained considerable attention within the Chinese market, significantly impacting investor decision-making. This thesis examines the impacts of ESG principles on the overall financial performance of investment portfolios. Through the classification of Chinese A-lis

Caught in the Nets of Exploitation - Understanding the Persistence of Child Slavery at Lake Volta

This thesis explores the causes contributing to the persistence of child slavery in the fishing industry in Ghana, focusing on Lake Volta, the world’s largest artificial reservoir. Although Ghana is often seen as a prime example of a stable democracy with legal frameworks for the protection of children, exploitative child labour practices remain widespread. The theoretical understanding of chi

Dissemination of Archaeological Knowledge through Digital Technologies: The Case of the Multisensory Museum

Nowadays, archaeological museums are open to innovation with an ever-changing character in order to remain relevant to contemporary museology in terms of dissemination of knowledge. In that spirit, digital technologies have been used systematically by museums in an effort to move beyond their ocular-centric nature, resulting in the integration of multisensory practices within the exhibition space.

Upplevelser av autenticitet hos manliga gymnasieungdomar: En tolkande fenomenologisk intervjustudie

Inom forskningsfältet har autenticitet visat sig vara en viktig aspekt för välbefinnande, men det har genomförts få kvalitativa studier på fenomenet. Denna studies syfte var att ge en nyanserad beskrivning av och fördjupa förståelsen för svenska, manliga gymnasieungdomars upplevelse av autenticitet. Frågeställningarna undersöker hur autenticitet som tillstånd upplevs, upplevelsen av relationen melAuthenticity has been proven to be a significant component of well-being, but few studies with qualitative methodology have been conducted on the matter. The purpose of this study is to give a nuanced portrayal and an in-depth understanding of how state authenticity is experienced by Swedish, male high school students. We examine how state authenticity is experienced, the experience of the relatio

Examining the impact of nuclear and renewable energy sources on environmental quality: Testing the EKC and LCC hypotheses for Sweden

This study investigates the impacts of nuclear and renewable energy consumption on Sweden’s environmental quality from 1965 to 2022.

Isospin breaking at two loops in three-flavour Chiral Perturbation Theory

In this thesis, we first give an introduction to the framework of Chiral Perturbation Theory. Following this, we proceed to conduct a detailed two-loop order calculation within Chiral Perturbation Theory, aimed at analyzing pseudoscalar meson masses and decay constants while incorporating isospin breaking effects. Our calculations account for both quark mass and charge isospin breaking effects in
