Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal kan uppleva arbetsrelaterad stress till följd av exempelvis höga krav, tidspress och otillräckligt stöd på arbetsplatsen. Stress kan leda till allvarliga psykiska och fysiska hälsoproblem, särskilt när den blir långvarig. Sjuksköterskeyrket är ofta stressigt då sjuksköterskor är särskilt utsatta på grund av höga krav och låg kontroll. Syfte: Studiens syfte va

Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-

The selective separation of glycoproteins is essential in biomarker discovery, glycoprotein profiling and analysis. Glycosylation of proteins has a major impact on their structure and function. The heterogeneity of glycosylation patterns makes the glycomic profiling extensive, but nonetheless of upmost importance for the deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, cell signalling and the impact of

Taking advantage of the relatively automatic and easy operation procedure, continuous-flow catalysis has become a promising wastewater treatment technique for organic dye removal. However, developing suitable packing catalysts with favorable activity and low flow resistance remains a challenging task for the construction of continuous-flow catalytic systems. In this paper, we report the preparatio

Two cast Mg–Al–Ba–Ca alloys, DieMag633 and DieMag844, are the focus of this study. Their microstructureMicrostructure consists of a eutectic Ca-rich structure, the lamellar Al2Ca, and of a hard, compact and brittle interdendritic Ba-rich phase, the Mg21Al3Ba2 phase. Both phases have a much higher hardness than the α-Mg matrix and strongly influence the crack propagationCrack propagation under quas

Physics-informed neural networks integrate physical laws into machine learning models to solve differential equations. This thesis investigates an inverse physics-informed neural network framework for estimating viscosity in Tetra Pak’s injection molding process, where direct measurements are not possible. By enforcing the Navier-Stokes equations and using sparse velocity and pressure data, a virt

As multistakeholder institutions become increasingly central to global governance, questions of how these hybrid organizations establish and maintain legitimacy have gained growing academic attention. This thesis conducts a systematic comparative analysis of the self-legitimation practices of two prominent multistakeholder initiatives: Fairtrade International and the Internet Corporation for Assig

This master’s thesis explores municipal and civil society refugee support practices in Berlin and Brandenburg, Germany during the current crisis of insecurity. Centering the question of how local-level support can oppose an excluding global precarization of refugees, the thesis works with an experiential puzzle to explore the subjective views of civil society and municipal actors in the realm of m

The impacts of climate change upon the globe entail the increase in displacement due to environmental disasters, known as climate displacement. This issue has an intrinsic global dimension due to climate change involving global emissions as a cause, environmental disasters often spanning nation-state borders, and displacement often involving cross-border movement. As a result, global response effo

This thesis provides an ethnographic analysis of civil society participation in the peace negotiations between the Colombian government and the insurgent group, the National Liberation Army (ELN). It examines how civil society actors navigated, engaged with, and attempted to influence the participatory process at the heart of the peace talks—negotiating internal and external power relations while

The research analyzes the narratives of LGBTQ+ people who are in exile from Russia and examines how their experiences reflect broader security narratives within Russian politics. To carry out this study, this research draws upon interdisciplinary theories from political psychology, critical security studies, and queer theory, with a particular focus on Lacan's concept of fantasy along with the

The Arctic has increasingly emerged as a geopolitical horizon shaped by environmental, security and economic transformations. As sea ice melts and military and commercial interests materialise, questions arise about how the region is discursively constructed by various stakeholders. With the Arctic Council in flux, alternative forums have gained significance as sites for dialogue and public diplom

This thesis is looking at Sweden’s implementation and priorities of the 2030 Agneda and specifically SDG 3 pertaining to health and wellbeing. It explores how national and international dynamics influence Sweden’s commitment to SDG 3, by examining shifts in political leadership and the developments within the global governance system. Placing Sweden within the broader context of global health gove

This thesis investigates how Armenia’s security dependence on Russia is discursively constructed and maintained through political texts. Analyzing the 1994 and 2020 ceasefire agreements ending the first and second Karabakh war, alongside 18 official statements from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2020–2025), the study argues that these texts function not only as records of geopolitical ev

As climate change presents a complex and urgent challenge, philanthropic actors are recognised as ‘change agents’ in driving responses. This study explores how Philea, a European network, guides its members' foundations and philanthropic organisations towards greener transitions. Building on the theory of polycentric governance and the concept of environmental philanthropy, this study addresse

The rise of right-wing populism in Western democracies has been accompanied by a backlash against gender equality and a nostalgia for a return to traditional gender roles; a movement known as anti-feminism. The Alternative for Germany (AfD), a far-right political party in Germany, is also linked to this movement by attacking advances in gender equality and LGBTQ+ rights in its political discourse.

This study explores the social integration barriers experienced by second-generation Chinese immigrants in Germany, and sheds light on the roles of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in supporting the integration of immigrants. By applying semi-structured interviews and the Integration Policy Framework (Heckmann, 2005) and Empowerment Theory (Zimmerman, 1995, 2000) as the theoretical framework,

Fuffagurus are a newly emerging phenomenon that has become popular on Social Media, especially in the Italian Case, in recent years. These self-proclaimed financial and business experts became a relevant figure among those of Influencers. Advertising an infallible Method to generate an unimaginable amount of money, they attracted thousands of followers interested in their alternative way to make a

This thesis explores how climate change concern is polarised in Sweden, with the aim to increase the understanding to detect social impediments to successful progress on the issue, as well as to prevent conflictual divides. The thesis examines the distribution of climate attitudes through three different forms of polarisation: distributive opinion polarisation, group-based (opinion) polarisation,

This thesis examines how Kenyan Generation Z activists used social media, particularly X (Twitter) as a tool for resistance, mobilization, and political discourse during the 2024 protests against the Finance Bill. Drawing on a postcolonial Global Studies framework, the study situates Kenya’s digital protests within broader global systems of inequality, colonial legacy, and youth disenfranchisement
