Thai Boys’ Love (BL) media has traveled far beyond its origins. This thesis explored how Thai BL media, especially BL series, has introduced Thailand to foreign fans who have become international students in Thailand. It considered the BL phenomenon from its Japanese Yaoi adaptation to its evolution into mainstream Thai entertainment. Through qualitative interviews with international and exchange
Den första lyckade organtransplantationen var av en njure år 1954, och sedan dess har njurtransplantationer förbättrat livet för de idag över 100 000 patienter globalt som varje år får en ny njure. Mycket av framgångarna är tack vare mediciner som hämmar det adaptiva immunförsvaret, och förhindrar att kroppen attackerar det främmande organet. Den fortsatta utvecklingen av dessa mediciner har lett Kidney transplants are the most common type of organ transplant globally. While immunosuppressants targeting the adaptive immune systems have been successful in improving short-term outcomes, the role of the innate immune system is relatively less studied, and has come under attention as a potential driver of the inflammation causing poor long-term outcomes. In this thesis, sparse statistical meth
Heat-health early warning systems are increasingly adopted as adaptation measures to reduce the health impact of heatwaves. Styria was the first Austrian state to implement such a system in 2011, but its effectiveness had remained unassessed. This study employs a difference-in-differences approach to quantitatively evaluate the impact of the Styrian heat early warning system on all-cause mortality
Accurately predicting project duration is vital for effective management in large-scale engineering and product development. This thesis analyzes a dataset from Ericsson, covering over 8,000 projects from 2016 to 2025, to develop machine learning models for predicting project duration across various telecommunications programs. It also identifies key features that influence project timelines. Aft
In 2024, the Lok Sabha Elections in India had unexpected results for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Many in the country expected a landslide victory, however due to the loss in a key state, Uttar Pradesh, the party failed to secure a majority in the Indian parliament. This thesis is an investigation into what could have happened in Uttar Pradesh by doing a qualitative content analysis, using NVIVO, t
Med en förväntad fortsatt höjning av havsvattennivån och med en exploatering av kustområden, finns ett behov av att undersöka effekterna av kustöversvämning under storm i kombination av förhöjd havsnivå. Detta för att höja kunskaperna inom detta område inför framtida utmaningar, även om denna kombination ej är vanligt förekommande på den skånska östkusten för närvarande. Den här studien använder dWith an expected continuation of a sea level rise in the era of climate change and with an exploitation of our coastal areas, there is a need to examine the impact of coastal flooding during a storm event with high sea level, to increase our knowledge for the future. Even if an event with this combination is unusual for the Scanian coastline along the Baltic sea, the impact can be severe. This stu
Denna studie undersöker klädes-secondhandshopping som en praktik i fysiska butiker. Fokus ligger på vad konsumenter faktiskt gör i butiksmiljön och vilka faktorer som formar dessa handlingar. Till skillnad från tidigare forskning som ofta betonar attityder och motivationer, utgår studien från ett praktikteoretiskt perspektiv där materialitet, kompetens och delad mening står i centrum. Genom en kv
Forest ecosystems are important actors in climate change mitigation strategies through their abilities to act as both carbon sinks and sources. The commonly used forest management strategy of clearcutting has been suggested to be paired with large greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the need for research on the climate effect from alternative management strategies. Rumperöd forest is managed thro
This thesis examines the adoption of LLM-powered chatbots in Nordic insurance companies, comparing them to traditional rule-based systems. While LLMs enable flexible, human-like interactions, their use in regulated industries remains cautious. Using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework and five interviews with industry professionals, the study identifies legal accountability, pr
The goal of the present work is to investigate possible improvements to established shell-model interactions concerning atomic nuclei in the mass A=90, N=Z regime. These investigations consist of generating energy spectra for the isotopes Pd-94, Cd-94, Ag-95, and Cd-95 close to the proton drip line, as well as an investigation of the transition probabilities between selected states in Ag-95. Data
Genom våra år av sångstudier har vi intresserat oss för arbetet med att skapa uttryck, något som vi upplever har fått stå tillbaka till förmån för sångtekniskt arbete. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur sångare kan arbeta med att skapa uttryck i sång utifrån dels ett sångtekniskt perspektiv men även utifrån arbete med interpretation. Vår undersökning består av två studier: den för
Forests are critical carbon sinks that mitigate anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, a primary driver of climate change. However, the impact that forest management methods have on the ecosystem carbon exchange is under debate and the potential carbon sink strength of forests is still uncertain. In this study, annual net ecosystem productivity (NEP) and forest age data from rotation forests (RFs
Driven by sustainability goals and regulatory pressure, the packaging industry is transitioning from complex multilayer structures toward mono material solutions that are more easily recyclable. This shift presents challenges, especially in high-performance applications such as microwaveable ready meals, where packaging must endure sealing, cooking, and reheating processes without compromising saf
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka kvinnors roll i hedersrelaterade kontexter. Studien fokuserar på hur kvinnor kan ses som både offer och förövare inom hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Studien är baserad på fem kvalitativa intervjuer med yrkesverksamma inom området. Studiens resultat analyseras med hjälp av teorin om internalisering, symboliskt våld samt Foucaults maktteori. Resultatet be
Människan har alltid blickat upp mot stjärnorna. Natthimmelen gav de tidiga människorna inspiration till myter och det gudomliga; en känsla av förundran i den urgamla världens mörka verklighet. Människan har aldrig slutat att titta upp och än idag kan man blicka mot himlen och förundras över hur ofattbart stort allting är, och hur små vi är i jämförelse till universum. Med moderna observationsverkThe HIBEAM experiment ventures to measure the theorized coupling between neutron spins and an effective oscillating field caused by axion-like particles. The experiment will use Ramsey interferometry to probe shifts in neutron polarization due to discrepancies in the Larmor frequency of the traveling neutron. To realize a successful experiment, a prototype beamline named the short-HIBEAM will be b
The Koenigsegg Variera represents a bold new interpretation of everyday performance, fusing the brand’s uncompromising engineering ethos with a visionary approach to electric mobility. Conceived as a dual-purpose vehicle, the Variera seamlessly transitions between autonomous driving and Koenigsegg’s established performance driving, capturing the essence of Koenigsegg’s performance spirit. Designed
This thesis examines how gay male fans in mainland China understand their admiration for Taiwanese female Mandopop singers, and how they navigate the political controversies that surrounding Taiwanese female singers on Weibo. Drawing on qualitative data from eight semi-structured interviews, it applies a dual theoretical framework—Queer Cultural Decoding and Celebrity Politics under Digital Author
Inledning: Utvecklingen inom den offentliga sektorn har lett fram till att mellanchefer möter höga arbetskrav med otillräckliga arbetsresurser. Rapporter visar på en ökning i sjukskrivningar som en följd av stressrelaterade diagnoser. I rollen som mellanchef ingår att ta hänsyn till organisatoriska mål tillsammans med politiska beslut och samtidigt hantera intressenter. Detta bidrar till att orsak
