Food can be transformed into data, but it is never only data. This thesis takes the Chinese health and weight management app Boohee as a case study to examine the tension behind its dietary tracking functionality. Rather than evaluating Boohee’ s effectiveness as a health technology, this study frames it as a digital media environment that enables users to record, compare, and self-evaluate dietar
Fotografiskt material är något av det mest känsliga material som bevaras vid arkivinstitutioner, inklusive kommunarkiv. Trots detta finns det en övergripande brist på resurser, översyn och ansvar när det gäller bevarandet av detta material i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med kunskap om hur analogt fotografiskt material bevaras vid mindre kommunarkiv i Skåne. Detta syfte undersöks
In the dual pursuit of expanding non-fossil fuel electricity capacity and becoming a ‘developed’ nation, India’s development trajectory drives the rapid expansion of large-scale solar photovoltaics (PV). In Jaisalmer, however, this expansion encounters complex socio-ecological landscapes marked by questions of (in)justice and uneven development. Drawing on energy geographies and energy justice, th
Sweden’s drained peatlands produce around one-fifth of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions, and although rewetting is widely recognised as an important mitigation measure, progress has remained slow. This thesis characterises Sweden’s drained peatlands as a multi-level socio-ecological-technical system (ML-SETS) and analyses why the drainage-based regime persists. Using a mixed-methods design g
Purpose: The persistent congestion and prolonged waiting times of trucks at maritime container terminals undermine port performance and supply chain efficiency. Ensuring smooth truck flows is essential for ports to fulfill their economic and social roles in global trade, creating significant pressure on operators to deliver reliable service. To support these efforts, it is crucial to identify
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
This thesis explores audience engagement within the dark romance genre, using the Cat and Mouse Duet as a case study. Through discussions with readers, we aimed to explore underlying motivations for engagement and dive deeper into the genre as a whole. As dark romance has only recently solidified its position as a subgenre, previous research has mostly focused on regular romance. In the past decad
What happens when the infrastructure designed to connect a city ends up dividing it instead? This thesis investigates the relationship between urban mobility and spatial justice, examining how roads, railways, and transit corridors generate barriers that are not only physical but social and cultural: separating communities, limiting access to opportunity, and reinforcing patterns of inequality ins
Studien syftar till att bidra med en fördjupad förståelse för hur organisatoriskt ansvar och legitimitet konstrueras i svenska nyhetsmediers rapportering om företag som indirekt kopplas till en geopolitisk kris. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys undersöker studien medierapporteringen om Ikea och Mondelez i relation till Rysslands invasion av Ukraina 2022, där företag fattade skilda strategiska bThe study aims to provide a deeper understanding of how organizational responsibility and legitimacy are constructed in Swedish news media coverage of companies indirectly linked to a geopolitical conflict. Through a qualitative content analysis, the study examines coverage of Ikea and Mondelez in relation to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, during which the companies made different strategic de
The thesis argues that the crisis communication framework used by Boeing in the Boeing 737 MAX crisis has limitations. Because the platform public is no longer just passive recipients of crisis information, and regulatory agencies in other countries are not just backgrounds in crisis contexts. In transnational crises, the definition of safety is not determined by a single entity, but rather a proc
Uppsatsen undersöker hur maskulinitetsideal konstrueras och förhandlas på TikTok i memen "Men used to go to war" av kvinnliga användare i ett postfeministiskt digitalt klimat. Detta undersöks genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av tio videor från TikTok. Syftet är att analysera hur humor, ironi och nostalgi används för att forma föreställningar om maskulinitet i ett postfeministiskt medi
On the 4th of July 2024 the Swedish government decided to assign the Agency for Digital Government and the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection to give guidelines for increasing use of generative artificial intelligence in the public sector. One year later, on the 10th of September 2025, the government released their budget proposition for the year 2026. Here the National Archives of Sweden (N
SLAMF6 is an immunoregulatory molecule studied in cancer research as a possible target for immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The absence of SLAMF6 has been shown to elevate T cell activation and improve anti-tumour responses (1). The regulatory mechanism of SLAMF6 is not fully understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of SLAMF6 on T cell signalling using fluore
Denna studie undersöker hur nation branding konstrueras genom diskurser i politisk kommunikation med särskilt fokus på hur nationell identitet och maktrelationer skapas och reproduceras i en personaliserad politisk kontext. Syftet är att analysera hur diskursiva strategier används för att forma och kommunicera föreställningar om nationen och hur nationella varumärkesrepresentationer tillämpas för This study examines how nation branding is constructed through discourses in political communication with a particular focus on how national identity and power relations are created and reproduced in a personalized political context. The aim is to analyze how discursive strategies are used to shape and communicate notions of the nation and how national brand representations are used to position na
Uppsatsen ”Den stumma välgörenheten” är en kritisk diskursanalys författad av Bruno Ekwall, Stina Lamke, Hanna Helgertz och Signe Holgerson vid Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga Institutionen på Lunds universitet. Problemet syftar till att undersöka hur MrBeasts välgörenhetsarbete visualiseras efter YouTubes algoritmiska logiker som kännetecknas av korta och underhållande format, samt vad det
Warnings that the Swedish culture and popular education (folkbildning) infrastructure is under threat due to cutbacks in public funding have recently been highlighted in a joint report published by national interest organizations representing the library and popular education sector. This thesis seeks to explore the role and perceived value of the collaboration between study associations and publi
Trigger warnings have become an increasingly common feature when literature is discussed on digital platforms, particularly on BookTok. However, research on how such warnings are understood and handled in everyday library practice remains limited. This study therefore took its starting point in an identified knowledge gap concerning how librarians relate to and work with trigger warnings when prom
In the heart of every physical theory lies measurement theory. While classical measurements are passive probes, QMs can be viewed as active physical processes that shape the available information. Depending on the measurement type, different aspects of the information about a system are retrieved. All possible measurements in quantum physics are described by mathematical objects called Positive Op
This study examines how sanctions following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and the Russian government's response to them, have disrupted the communicative infrastructure that Armenian seasonal labor migrants depend on to maintain their transnational family lives. Building on and challenging Diminescu's (2008) connected migrant and Madianou and Miller's (2012) poly
In the late nineteen nineties an interest in archives began to emerge in the global art world, an interest which was evident in artists’ ways to engage with archives as part of an artistic practice. Archival art was later on linked to the archival turn, a development in which archival science and other disciplines influenced each other in methodology. The aim of this study was to shed light on the
