Identities fundamental to the self, such as race and gender, can operate through visual markers on the body. Identities related to a person’s heritage, or nationality, can also become visible. However, when physical appearance means that a person can pass as a member of a dominant group, being identified or ‘marked’ as other takes place through language use. In migration contexts, situations where

Stress is a public health concern. One of the explanations to why women, more than men, receive stress-related diagnosis in connection to sickness absence is their responsibility for housework and caregiving. We investigate men’s and women’s time allocation and its association with everyday stress across life course stages (25-74 years), using individual time diary data (N=11,880) from the 2000/01

Det globala akademiska landskapet har förändrats avsevärt sedan 1990-talet. Idag deltar fler länder än någonsin i produktionen av forskning av hög kvalitet, och internationella samarbeten inom högre utbildning har ökat markant under de senaste tre årtiondena på grund av globalisering och ökad personmobilitet. Det är tydligt att internationella utbyten och ökad personmobilitet har stärkt Sveriges fThe global academic landscape has changed significantly since the 1990s. Today, more countries than ever participate in the production of high-quality research, and international collaborations in higher education have increased dramatically over the past three decades due to globalization and increased personal mobility. It is clear that international exchanges and increased personal mobility hav

Accelerated deterioration of the constituting materials is important for the long-term performance of bridges or any other load-bearing structure with several-decades-long service life. In addition to the economic consequences due to increased maintenance and repair needs, severe deterioration can lead to catastrophic collapses with possible injuries, life losses, and impairments to infrastructure

Over the years, Carbon Capture and Sequestration (CCS) has been recognized as a crucial element in the toolkit of measures to combat climate change. At the European Union (EU) level, CCS plays a vital role in climate policy, particularly in reducing CO2 emissions from hard-to-abate industries. However, no comprehensive legal framework covers all stages of CCS. These stages include carbon capture t

This essay examines whether feminist theory can give a plausible answer to the question: does female and male students have different attitudes towards the labour market and towards wages? Further more, I examine if factors such as class and ethnicity affect student's attitudes. These questions are investigated through a quantitative study of students at four educations on two different univer

Abstract One aim of this thesis, has been to explore how discursive frames are constructed, frames to relate to, compare with, and therefore be part in shaping political subjects. The other aim has been connected with a more empirical platform, where I wanted to discover how these frames are established and structured discursively within a political organization, among its members; in this case w

Many decisions in the everyday work of the structural engineer are taken under the influence of uncertainties. The degree of uncertainty affects the quality and variability of the outcome of the structural design work. The effect of uncertainties related to knowledge and experience of the structural engineer was studied in a round robin investigation. Despite a relatively well defined task, the re

Uppsatsen analyserar rättstillämpningen av 33 § avtalslagen (lagen [1915:218] om avtal och andra rättshandlingar på förmögenhetsrättens område) med fo-kus på Högsta domstolens (HD) avgörande i målet ”Nätkasinot” (T 607-24, den 1 juli 2025). 33 § avtalslagen, som behandlar tro och heder, har sällan tillämpats i domstol men har nyligen aktualiserats genom ”Nätkasinot”. Syftet är att analysera hur räThe essay examines the application of Section 33 of the Contracts Act (SFS 1915:218), with particular focus on the Supreme Court’s (HD) ruling in the case ‘Nätkasinot’ (T 607-24, 1 July 2025). Section 33, which addresses good faith and honour, has rarely been applied by the courts but has recently gained renewed relevance through the ‘Nätkasinot’ judgment. The purpose of the essay is to analyse th

The aim of this study is to investigate human behavior during the pre-movement phase of building evacuation and determine how pre-movement time varies between different building types and types of alarms. Unannounced videorecorded evacuation experiments from earlier studies were examined, which resulted in 2 486 individual pre-movement times divided amongst six different building types. The parts

The study sets out the objective to investigate how a firm’s customer-base diversification affects its stock return idiosyncratic volatility. The research paper primarily focuses on the way that the distribution of sales impacts the firm specific risk that is unrelated to the risk of the market, and it does so through the use of both a geographical and an operating customer-base concentration meas

Physical education could play an important role in promoting future physical activity, but do students perceive the physical education content to be relevant for their personal and future goals? And does this affect their in-class motivation? The aim of this study was to investigate the role of perceived relevance of physical education course content in relation to students‘ contextual self-determ

This bachelor thesis is written within the field of strategic communication, focusing on marketing communication and the concept of sensemaking. Instead of seeing a high involvement purchase according to the traditional and linear buyer decision process, this thesis suggests the purchase instead to be seen as a customer journey, which addresses the complexity of the purchase. The aim of the study

Välgörenhetsorganisationer använder sig ofta av marknadsföringsstrategier som spelar på mottagarens känslor för att samla in donationer. Fungerar denna strategi, och skiljer det sig åt när det handlar om engångsdonationer eller månadsdonationer? Det antogs vara en skillnad mellan rationella och intuitiva människor där de intuitiva skulle uppleva en psykologisk avtrubbning när de utsattes för en koNon-profit organisations often use marketing strategies that play on people’s emotions to encourage donations. Does this strategy work, and does it differ between single and monthly donations? It was hypothesized that there is a difference between rational and intuitive people where the latter would experience a psychological numbing when facing a continuous negative framing. It was therefore hypo

The endothelin receptor antagonist atrasentan improved kidney outcomes in the SONAR trial for type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (NCT01858532), though individual responses varied. To identify molecular biomarkers of atrasentan response and outcome, we conducted a nested case-control proteomics study (N = 180) within the SONAR trial population and identified urinary clusterin (uCLU) as the
