This paper aims to examine the role of tourist knowledge production in reproducing and legitimizing ideologies that serve as foundational for industrial colonialism in the Julevädno rivers upper course. The aim of this thesis is to approach a deeper understanding of how expressions of speech representing colonial ideologies can persist long after they've been uttered. This is done through a po
The long-standing problem of domestic violence in South and Southeast Asia, and the fact that most victims are women, may be due to the emphasis on male dominance and the deep-rooted traditional gender roles. Previous studies have found that domestic violence can have many negative effects on the physical and mental health of women and their children. Attitudes towards domestic violence are relate
Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes improve the error-correction capability of conventional low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by replacing single parity-check (SPC) constraints with more powerful component codes. However, stronger local constraints introduce additional redundancy and may reduce the overall code rate. This thesis investigates how the rate of Hamming-based GLDPC c
White sesame seeds that are produced in Humera, Tigray, are good sources of protein, fat, energy, fiber, and minerals, such as iron, calcium, and zinc. However, they contain high levels of phytic and oxalic acid. Soaking, dehulling, roasting, and fermenting proved to be promising processing methods to lower the phytic acid of sesame seed flour, thereby increasing bioavailability of essential miner
The quantification of microstructural features is essential in materials science, as the microstructure can be linked with the mechanical performance of the material. Gray cast iron (GCI) is a type of cast iron used mainly for its excellent machinability and vibration damping, along with high compressive strength and good thermal conductivity. GCI is characterized by graphite flakes dispersed in a
Interest in violence and graphic content is traditionally explained in relation to media effects concerns, desensitization, or individual psychological attraction. This thesis approaches the interest from a different angle, focusing instead on the morbid nature of such curiosity by exploring how engagement with crime narratives is collectively organized within Swedish digital true crime podcast co
This thesis compares the entrepreneurial contexts of Lund, Sweden, and Toronto, Canada to examine whether Creative Destruction Lab (CDL), a non-profit accelerator founded in Toronto, would fit within Lund's ecosystem. Two research questions are addressed: what similarities and differences exist between the entrepreneurial contexts of Lund and Toronto, and how a CDL site would mesh with Lund
As the climate crisis intensifies, climate adaptation becomes increasingly urgent and necessary. This holds especially true for Small Island Developing States, who, despite bearing little responsibility in creating the problem, are uniquely vulnerable to slow onset and extreme weather events. To address climate impacts in developing countries, the international community has set up pathways to hel
Orala läkemedelsformuleringar kompliceras av aktiva ingredienser med låg vattenlöslighet. För att förbättra biotillgängligheten av dessa kan självemulgerande nanoemulsioner (SNEDDS) an-vändas. Dessa bildar spontant mikroemulsioner i nano skala vid kontakt med vatten vilket tillå-ter de små dropparna med olja innehållande det lösta läkemedlet att absorberas av tarmen. Denna masteruppsats ämnar undePoor aqueous solubility can be a major challenge for oral delivery of some active pharmaceu-tical ingredients. Self-nano-emulsifying-drug-delivery-systems (SNEDDS) can improve the bioavailability of lipophilic compounds by forming fine droplets of oil in water that can be ab-sorbed through the gastrointestinal walls. This thesis investigates the potential of using a porous form of starch micropart
This study aimed to examine the situation of children awaiting placement at The Swedish National Board of Institutional Care's (SiS) youth homes under the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act (LVU) from the perspectives of social workers, as well as how these social workers manage the waiting period. Our study used a qualitative interview method, in which we interviewed six social wo
Fritidsgårdsverksamhet har länge varit ett ämne för diskussion och debatt och synen på verksamhetens funktion har genom åren haft en skiftande karaktär. Fritidsgårdarna har sedan de en gång startade ofta beskrivits som en plats för att fånga upp stökiga ungdomar och förebygga sociala problem. Samtidigt har det vuxit fram en annan syn på fritidsgårdarna som en främjande plats för kreativitet och et
With the massive and rapid growth of social media, governmental agencies have had expectations placed upon themselves to, in addition to traditional media, also convey their messages on these social media platforms. As governmental agencies have risen to this occasion, this has meant that these governmental agencies now produce content in a, for them, new media landscape. As Swedish governmental a
With the More Electric Aircraft concept, the aviation industry is moving toward electrification of onboard sub-systems. This transition from mechanical to electrical power places high demands on onboard electrical power generation, requiring systems that can guarantee continuous and safe operation even in the event of a component failure mid-flight. To generate power on a gas turbine driven aircra
The Shallow Neural Network (SNN) is one of the most basic forms of machine learning models. It has a high theoretical representational capacity, but this is often not realized in practice, in part due to overfitting. This thesis proposes a new regularization method and compares it against existing techniques across a range of tasks using SNNs. The proposed method, norm-preserving regularization (N
Precise determination of the time of simultaneous incidence of laser pump and X-ray probe pulses is essential for ultrafast X-ray diffraction experiments. This work investigates the use of diffuse scattering from the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5(GST) as a timing tool for pump-probe measurements at the FemtoMAX beamline at MAX IV Laboratory. A complete data analysis pipeline was developed to pr
Denna studie undersöker hur unga vuxna i åldern 18-20 år tolkar och uppfattar Försvarsmaktens kommunikation på TikTok, med särskilt fokus på govtainment, plattformsspecifika uttrycksformer och trovärdighet. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i spänningen mellan anpassning till TikToks plattformslogik och kultur och de förväntningar på saklighet, seriositet och trovärdighet som ofta omger myndighetskommuThis study explores how young adults aged 18-20 interpret and perceive the Swedish Armed Forces’ communication on TikTok, focusing particularly on govtainment, platform-specific expressions and credibility. The study is centered on the tension between adapting to TikTok’s platform logic and culture and the expectations of objectivity, seriousness and credibility that typically surround government
Söderåsens nationalpark är ett populärt område för friluftsliv på grund av den vidsträckta bokskogen. Bokskogen har också ett stort vetenskapligt intresse på grund av dess dynamiska historia under de senaste seklerna. Enligt Rundgren et al. (2025) var boken väletablerad fram till mitten av 1700-talet då dess utbredning minskade för att sedan börja öka igen under mitten av 1800-talet. Detta baseradSöderåsen National Park is a popular recreational area due to its extensive beech forest. The beech forest is also of great scientific interest because of its dynamic history in recent centuries. According to Rundgren et al. (2025), the beech was well established until the mid-18th century when its abundance decreased markedly, followed by an expansion from the mid-19th century. It is based on pal
With novel techniques like single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) we can look inside single cells in great detail and measure their individual gene activity by counting the mRNA molecules of the cells. In order to model cell differentiation one would naturally turn to longitudinal data of single cells. However, snapshot datasets is the basis of single cell studies due to the way the datasets are c
Older adults have throughout history played an important role in the shaping of society. Through work and life experience, they have helped pass along valuable knowledge and hence paved the way for future generations’ possibilities of building and creating a way of living and functioning in an ever-changing world. Yet, the aging generations can sometimes be forgotten or marginalised in modern soci
During recent years the interest in visits to the Swedish alpine regions have increased, and many regions have experienced a trend towards a higher number of sport events. An increasing interest in nature tourism can bring positive effects on wellbeing and health as well as increasing knowledge and consideration for the environment. Though, all effects are not positive since nature-based activitie
