I digitala mediemiljöer har visuella symboler fått en allt större betydelse i skapandet och omförhandlingen av kulturell mening, identitet och tillhörighet. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen hur symboler kopplade till svenskhet omformas genom visuella kollisioner i digital kommunikation, med den svenska konstnären Lojen Arts visuella uttryck på Instagram som analytiskt exempel. Studien byggeIn digital media environments, visual symbols have taken on increasing significance in the creation and renegotiation of cultural meaning, identity, and belonging. Against this backdrop, this thesis examines how symbols associated with Swedishness are reshaped through visual collisions in digital communication, using the Swedish artist Lojen Art’s visual expressions on Instagram as an analytical c

Meat consumption is among the leading contributors to diet-related diseases and greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden, while legume consumption remains significantly below dietary recommendations. This study aimed to understand the beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors of adult consumers in Sweden regarding reducing meat consumption and increasing legume intake through a consumer survey. The survey col

This study aimed to examine how counsellors’ work is constructed within adult outpatient psychiatry from the perspective of counsellors, and how organisational and professional factors shape the construction. This was a qualitative study conducted through ten semistructured interviews with counsellors working in adult outpatient psychiatry at different clinics within Region Skåne. Theories concern

Interrogation leaders in high-stakes investigative settings must convert long interview sessions into accurate written protocols under time pressure, stress, and cognitive bias. While AI has the potential to streamline this work, generic large-model assistants risk replacing one form of cognitive effort with another by inviting passive acceptance of generated output. To address this, we de- signed

The protection afforded to registered trademarks and the protection afforded to freedom of expression can lead to tension between the two rights, this tension originates from the shift of trademarks from being an identifier to that of a communicator. This shift has resulted in a protection that goes beyond likelihood of confusion, trademark functions have expanded from that of origin to now encomp

The ongoing environmental crisis is not only one of material proportions, but also symbolically manifested in a severe human-nature divide. Given communication’s constitutive power in shaping understandings of nature, destination branding has been criticised for reproducing anthropocentric representations through commodifying nature. While previous research has demonstrated that folkloric tales ma

Sverigelöftet - How Do the Liberals Legitimise their Cooperation with the Sweden Democrats? This study examines how political legitimacy is constructed through strategic communication in relation to politically controversial collaborations. Through a qualitative text analysis, the study examines how the Swedish political party Liberalerna strategically communicates and legitimises its decision to

Background: Order-picking accounts for more than half of total warehouse operating costs, where travel time is the largest contributor. At the case company, a Swedish healthcare consumables logistics provider served by Industri-Matematik International AB, a cluster-picking strategy is used together with a combined routing strategy (Roodbergen, 2001). The current picking process lacks planning of h

Player Re-Identification (Re-ID) is a fundamental component for comprehensive team sports analysis. However, applying traditional 2D appearance-based trackers presents unique challenges, as confined courts, complex tactics, and highly similar team uniforms cause severe mutual occlusions and frequent identity switches. Furthermore, erratic player movements and image degradation severely compromise

Regulation 2026/261 is an economic sanction package banning imports of natural gas from the Russian Federation into the European Union. Given that there are many long-term gas supply agreements between EU importers and Russian exporters, the Regulation creates a legal problem: parties can no longer perform their contractual obligations, yet the applicable law may not offer them a clear exit route.

Trots att jobbannonser ofta utgör det första intrycket av en organisation, används de sällan som ett strategiskt kommunikationsverktyg. Tidigare forskning har till största del fokuserat på kandidaters uppfattning kring organisationers attraktivitet, medan den här studien intar ett avsändarperspektiv och undersöker spänningen mellan organisationers strategiska employer branding och LinkedIns plattfAlthough job advertisements often provide the first impression of an organization, they are rarely treated as a strategic communication tool. Previous research has largely focused on the candidates’ perception of how attractive organizations are, while this study takes on a sender perspective and examines the tension between organizations’ strategic employer branding and LinkedIn’s platform logic

Syftet med denna multimodala kritiska diskursanalys är att studera hur Klarnas marknadsföring på sociala mediekanalen Instagram konstruerar ett symboliskt “vi”, och därigenom ett implicit “dom”. Studien syftar till att bidra med kunskap om hur kommunikation bidrar till konstruktion av sociala identiteter och en känsla av gemenskap gentemot fintech-varumärken. Analysen fokuserar på företaget KlarnaThe purpose of this multimodal critical discourse analysis is to examine how Klarna’s marketing on the social media platform Instagram constructs a symbolic “we”, and thereby an implicit “them”. The study aims to contribute knowledge about how communication contributes to the construction of social identities and the sense of community in relation to fintech brands. The analysis focuses on the mar

The chirality-flow formalism is an extension of the spinor-helicity formalism in which scattering amplitudes are represented as diagrams of oriented flow lines between external spinors, which allows spinor bracket products to be read off easily. While the formalism has been explored and implemented for QED and QCD interactions, its application has not been explored systematically in the full elect

This thesis examines how the Swedish public service broadcaster, Sveriges Radio, navigates the transition from traditional linear broadcasting to digital platform-driven communication. Through a qualitative content analysis of a campaign on social media, the study explores how the institution utilizes strategic framing, risk communication, and platform logic to reach Generations Z and Alpha. Emplo

Virtual reality is increasingly used in evacuation research because it allows human behaviour to be studied in controlled and safe experimental conditions. At the same time, behavioural observation alone may not fully explain how participants perceive, process, and respond to emergency cues. This thesis explores the potential role of electroencephalography (EEG) in VR evacuation experiments, with

This thesis explores 4D reconstruction in sparse fixed-camera settings for virtual reality visualization. Gaussian Splatting provides an efficient representation for static and dynamic scenes, but most existing pipelines rely on dense multi-view capture or sufficient camera motion. This project focuses on a constrained setting with only four fixed cameras observing a dynamic human object, where li

This thesis explores the development of a compact, optics free and low-cost biosensing platform based on direct on-chip detection of bioluminescence using a complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor. This work is motivated by the need and challenge of combining the high sensitivity of optical biosensing in laboratories with the simplicity and portability required for point-of-car

Streets of Recovery explores how urban environments affect stress levels and how streets can be designed to support well-being. While existing research largely emphasises parks and green spaces, this study focuses on streets as everyday environments with the potential to influence stress. If urban environments shape stress levels, they also hold the potential to mitigate them. The thesis examines
