Abstract Title: When Generative AI Becomes a Colleague: Managers Making Sense of AI Advice at Work Authors: Bajramović, Almir; Saleh, Samar Submission Date: 27th of May, 2026 Word Count: 21 238 Supervisor: Sverre Spoelstra Aim: This study explores how managers interpret, evaluate and integrate Generative AI (GenAI) as a source of advice in their day-to-day work. As GenAI becomes more embedded
Determining the effective temperature (Teff) of stars is fundamental to further study stellar populations. For cool M-giants this is a challenge due to their crowded optical spectra, caused by closely spaced absorption lines from molecular bands. These complicate existing spectroscopic methods, limiting observations to the near-infrared (NIR). This is further motivated by the fact that NIR wavelen
As global steel demand continues to rise, the steel industry faces increasing pressure to reduce its energy consumption. Conventional cooling is inefficient, and novel technologies have the potential to improve these processes. One promising approach is the use of pulsating flow to enhance heat transfer during cooling of hot steel plates. In this thesis Infrasonik’s infrasound cooling solution is
Ultraviolet-C (UV‑C) irradiation is a promising non-chemical complement to conventional cleaning processes in processing units intended for cleaning items such as utensils, textiles and laboratory equipment. This thesis evaluates the technical feasibility of integrating UV‑C light-emitting diodes (LEDs) into such units, with a focus on liquid-phase treatment of the washing liquid. A design-space e
The Unit for Clinical Epidemiology at Lund University conducts research into the molecular mechanisms of osteoarthritis. To facilitate this research, standardized tissue samples in the form of small osteochondral plugs must be extracted from larger, heterogeneous donor samples obtained from the Lund Tissue Bank. However, human bone samples are inherently hard and fragile. Current suboptimal extrac
The construction industry faces many challenges, among which sustainability has become a prominent global goal to assess. In a European context, environmental certifications such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel are a key incentive for addressing sustainability challenges and aim to reach the 2030 goals (UNFCCC, 2015). However, these incentives and considerations must be integrated with the requirement
"In Happy Expectation" : Swedish Maternity Fashion and the Depiction of the Pregnant Body in Pattern Advertising 1940–1990. This essay examines how the widespread Swedish home sewing industry contributed to the social regulation of the pregnant body between 1940 and 1990 through maternity fashion advertising. Using pattern magazines published by Kooperativa Förbundet and Holm & Nyblo
Detta arbete syftar till att undersöka vilka följder införandet av digitala produktpass (DPP) för möbler kan innebära för företag och enskilda konsumenter, med särskilt fokus på cirkulär ekonomi, företagshemligheter, greenwashing och förändrat konsumentbeteende. Undersökningen bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer och en fallstudie av en stol. Genom intervjuerna har möjligheter och risker med impThis study aims to analyze the effects of implementing the digital product passport (DPP) for furniture and what it may lead to for companies and consumers, with a particular focus on circular economy, proprietary information, greenwashing and shifts in consumer behavior. The study is based on semi-structured interviews and a case study of a chair. Through the interviews, both opportunities and ri
Localized brown discoloration occurs in some Tetra Recart®-packed retorted meat products after extended storage, affecting perceived visual quality. This thesis investigates the possible mechanisms of this phenomenon and presents a systematic evaluation method for future similar cases. The study analyzes 59 images of discolored cases from two datasets: an archival dataset (n = 47, storage duration
This thesis examines how British and American media frame the 2021 and 2022 Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grands Prix. Situated within the growing scholarly debate on sport diplomacy, sportswashing and Western media representation of the Middle East, the study addresses the following research question: How does the British and American media discourse construct and frame the 2021 and 2022 Saudi Arabian
This thesis examines how residential buildings from different construction periods perform during extended outages of heating, electricity, and ventilation. The purpose was to evaluate building robustness during crisis or war situations and identify technical measures that may improve building resilience. The study combined literature review with engineering calculations related to heat retention,
The European Union's Nature Restoration Law aims to protect and restore the EU's ecosystems, among which specific target goals were set for urban ecosystems. This requires local authorities to assess and monitor urban tree cover (UTC), supported by strategic urban vegetation planning. As urban trees provide various benefits, including microclimate regulation, incorporating urban microclima
In the context of global urbanization, people often associate informal settlements with poor living conditions, limited infrastructure, and insecure housing. However, China’s Small Property Rights Housing (SPRH) challenges this conventional image of informal status. Residents do not primarily struggle with material poverty. Instead, lacking legally recognized property rights, they experience tenur
A time-interleaved ADC analog front-end is presented with a sampling rate of 64GS/s. It has a hierarchical architecture of 2-4-4 giving 32 separate channels. Each channel is constructed by an input buffer, 1st rank (T/H), sub-buffer, and 2nd rank T/H. The complimentary clocking generation consist of a 32GHz differential signal divided down using a CML divide-by-4 and DFF divide-by-4 architecture.
Syfte: I Sverige finns det idag inga publicerade studier som undersöker effekten av morfologisk intervention på läs- och skrivförmågan. Syftet med denna studie var att testa huruvida morfologisk intervention, med fokus på sammansatta ord och avledningsmorfologi, kan stärka färdigheterna avkodning, läshastighet, stavning och morfologisk medvetenhet hos svensktalande elever i årskurs 4–6 med läs- oc
Non-specific abdominal pain (NSAP) is a common somatic pain expression in children and has been associated with later mental health problems, such as anxiety and depression, with females consistently showing a higher prevalence compared to males. The present study sought to investigate whether internalization of emotional distress could represent an underlying psychological mechanism of these obse
This thesis is a critical discourse analysis of how money and the economic system are linguistically constructed and maintained in Swedish news journalism. The study focuses on news articles about prices and inflation published during the first quarter of 2025. The material consists partly of articles about inflation statistics, and partly of articles about the boycott of major grocery chains that
This thesis investigates how technology cycle time (TCT) and legacy knowledge accumulation (LKA) jointly shape EV innovation performance and regional catch-up dynamics across automotive clusters in China and Europe. Using PCT patent data (2000–2024) and HDBSCAN clustering to identify 22 Chinese and 57 European innovation clusters, the study employs PPML-HDFE and OLS panel estimators. The results s
Social relationships and group membership shape cognitive functions, including memory. One memory function contributing to knowledge acquisition is the ability to draw novel conclusions by linking overlapping but distinct episodic memories, a process called associative inference. Prior research shows that both general memory and associative inference for arbitrary objects are enhanced when materia
Carbohydrate chemistry has mainly focused on five- and six-membered sugars, while seven-membered sugars remain relatively unexplored despite their potential bioactivity. Synthesis of seven-membered sugars can be performed by a ring expansion from a six-membered sugar. This project focused on synthesizing a precursor for a seven-membered sugar by regioselective protection and oxidation. The target
