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
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 thesis titled “Constructing Legitimacy Through War Framing” is written by Elin Borgfors Wande, Erik Lindgren and Elis Wennerstrand at the Department of Communication at Lund University. The study is situated within the field of media and communication studies and examines Donald Trump’s framing of the United States-Iran conflict in his Truth Social communication with particular focus on how m
The master’s thesis includes a torsional vibrations analysis of an engine crankshaft and transmission in a hypercar. A torsional model is implemented in order to analyze how excitations produced by the engine affect the vibrational dynamics of the system. This is done by analyzing resonance frequencies and response amplitudes at critical speeds. A frequency-domain driven Python model is built in p
Organisations operating in controversial industries face persistent legitimacy challenges due to the morally controversial nature of their core activities, making communication essential for maintaining stakeholder support and justifying organisational existence. This study examines how BAE Systems constructs legitimacy through corporate communication in its 2025 Annual Report, with particular foc
Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit
Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of sub-wavelength structures often arranged in a periodic lattice. During recent years, metasurfaces have emerged as one of the most promising platforms to shape electromagnetic waves using compact devices, exhibiting extraordinary control over the light amplitude, polarization and phase. Starting with metallic materials, metasurface research has shifted tow
This thesis examines how corporate heritage brands communicate their heritage within immersive digital gaming environments and how such environments shape heritage communication. Through a qualitative multimodal analysis of Burberry's engagement on Roblox and Minecraft, the study explores how heritage is translated through visual, spatial and interactive elements within platform-specific desig
This thesis explores how machine learning can be applied to dynamically set the optimal threshold that determines if a user should be granted Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) resources at cell level. The goal of the thesis is to investigate whether this approach can improve the downlink performance on cell level compared to a static set threshold. Collected network measurements were used to train

This thesis explores the legal uncertainty surrounding the sharing of machine-generated operational data, with a specific focus on data produced by the Integrated Control System (ICS) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). It establishes the basis for a comprehensive data-sharing framework that bridges internal operations with external access rights. To achieve this, the thesis analyses why raw
Utsläpp av lustgas från avloppsreningsverk (ARV) utgör en betydande klimatpåverkan och är starkt kopplade till utökad biologisk kväveavskiljning. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att analysera sambanden mellan processparametrar och lustgasutsläpp vid Klagshamns av-loppsreningsverk samt att undersöka hur datadriven modellering kan användas som stöd för driftoptimering. Inledningsvis genomfördes en
While accessibility in building design is now a widely adopted principle with the industry increasingly adopting inclusive practices, its integration into evacuation provisions remains limited and inconsistently applied across the world. This study examines gaps in evacuation design practices affecting occupants with disabilities through a comparative review of ten building codes and standards, su
While intelligence collection and counterintelligence are traditionally associated with state actors, terrorist organizations engage in similar practices to avoid detection. Despite sophisticated security apparatuses, terrorist organizations have experienced significant intelligence failures. This paper examines what weaknesses in terrorist organizations' security work contribute to such failu
This study investigates how a commercial company constructs discursive legitimacy in a paradoxical communicative context. Patagonia serves as an illustrative case to investigate how the company manages inherent tensions operating as an activist commercial brand. The analysis draws on Vaara et al.’s discursive legitimation theory and Fairclough´s discourse analysis tools to examine how legitimacy i
This essay examines the explanatory power of MICE and Wilder’s framework in relation to the case of the Swedish spy Stig Bergling, by answering the research question to what extent can the MICE model and Wilder’s framework explain Stig Bergling’s espionage?. The study is conducted as a qualitative case study using congruence analysis to explain the explanatory value of two competing theoretical fr
