This thesis analyses the structural limitations of the prevailing entitlement-based framework of international human rights law (IHRL), particularly in pluralistic and multicultural societies, and evaluates whether integrating duties alongside existing rights, a duty-infused reconceptualization, can address those limitations or not? The study draws its primary motivation from a structural crisis i
This study explores how female managers in Icelandic technology companies describe their career journeys and the turning points that shaped their progression into senior management. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using the Gioia methodology. The findings show that none of these women planned their way into leadership. Instead their careers were shaped by unexpected op
Denna uppsats analyserar kapitalismens sammansvetsning med människa och samhällsstrukturer samt hur detta påverkar ekologisk hållbarhet. Genom att applicera Baumans konsumtionsteori, Boltanski och Chiapellos teori om den nya kapitalismens anda och Olin Wrights teori om verkliga utopier på fem semistrukturerade expertintervjuer, har begrepp som ekosocial hållbarhet, cirkulär ekonomi och systemförän
Cleanrooms in the pharmaceutical industry are energy-intensive environments where HVAC systems account for roughly 50-75% of energy use due to high air changes per hour and strict conditioning requirements for indoor humidity and temperature. This thesis presents a techno-economic analysis comparing two of the most common HVAC system types. These systems are centralized, using one large AHU to pro
Post-quantum cryptography increases the computational and data-movement demands placed on embedded processors. Many standardized and candidate schemes rely heavily on Keccak, SHA-3, and SHAKE operations, where the 1600-bit Keccak state is repeatedly updated and may become a bottleneck when accelerated through software-hardware interaction. This thesis presents a direct memory access (DMA)-enhanced
This study examines how discursive legitimacy is constructed in strategic external crisis communication. Crisis communication and discursive legitimacy have rarely been studied together, although both fields examine how legitimacy is negotiated and maintained. Through a qualitative discourse analysis of multimodal media material, the study explores how language is used to manage a legitimacy threa
The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) serves as the preeminent uniform legal framework governing international sales. Central to its application is Article 8, which prescribes a tripartite hierarchy for interpreting party intent by prioritizing subjective intent, applying the objective reasonable person standard, and mandating a holistic review of al
As wireless communication systems evolve toward 6G and joint communication and sensing paradigms, emerging applications impose stringent low-latency constraints on target tracking systems. Within the hardware implementation of particle filters, the traditional systematic resampling algorithm suffers from global data dependencies and sequential memory accesses, creating a fundamental performance bo
This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of women’s entrepreneurship in Skåne, Sweden, and to examine how entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) contribute to overcoming barriers in the business development process. Using a mixed-methods approach, including two literature reviews, four in-depth interviews, and a quantitative questionnaire, the study applies triangulation of empirical inf
This thesis investigates the economic and operational consequences of price-responsive operation of a large-scale alkaline electrolyzer producing hydrogen for fossil-free steel production. A time-resolved linear optimization model was implemented in Python, describing the interaction between a 740 MW electrolyzer (37 units of 20 MW), a hydrogen storage and a constant hydrogen demand. Three operati
Title: When the Map Is Wet, Navigation Still Depends on It: Organizational Sensemaking and Digital Infrastructure Dependency Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change – Master Level Authors: Clara Gerber and Ember Truppelli Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: This study examines how individuals within organizations make sense of digital infrastructure dependency when the
The revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) strengthens the regulatory framework for improving the energy performance of the existing building stock in the European Union. In Sweden, the implementation of the directive is particularly relevant for residential buildings with low energy performance, especially buildings in energy classes F and G. This thesis examines how the revised
This thesis, conducted in collaboration with Trelleborg AB, investigates sourcing decisions for metal components within the Anti-Vibration Solutions business unit. The study addresses the challenge of evaluating sourcing alternatives across Europe and Asia-Pacific, where differences in cost, lead times, risk exposure, and sustainability create complex trade-offs. The purpose is to develop a practi
Cellular reprogramming is the process of converting cells from one cell type to another. The ability to generate specific cell types is useful when constructing models of development and disease, and reprogramming could potentially be used for regenerative therapy in the future. However, applications are limited by the low reprogramming efficiency of existing protocols. The goal of this thesis was
Föräldrabeteenden och familjefunktion är viktiga aspekter av uppväxtmiljön. Dessa kan formas av en bredd av kontextuella faktorer, däribland intra- och interpersonellt fungerande. Med en dimensionell klassificering av personlighetsfungerande undersöker denna examensuppsats ifall nivå av personlighetsdysfunktion, såväl som nivå av det patologiska personlighetsdraget Negativ Affektivitet, kan associParenting behaviours and family functioning are important aspects of family life that may be shaped by a variety of contextual factors, including self- and interpersonal functioning. Using a contemporary dimensional approach to personality pathology, this thesis investigates if the overall level of personality dysfunction, as well as the trait domain specifier of Negative Affectivity, are associat
The recast Energy Performance of Buildings Directive introduces binding Minimum Energy Performance Standards for existing non-residential buildings, requiring Member States to identify and renovate the worst-performing segments of their building stock. This study develops and applies an integrated framework for evaluating energy renovation measures in office buildings, addressing building category
Debt-for-nature swaps have been designed to address the polycrisis of high debt, climate change and biodiversity loss in developing countries by restructuring sovereign debt and directing resultant savings towards conservation. However, they are marred by multiple drawbacks including the violation of debtor nation sovereignty by international financial actors. This thesis attempts the first academ
Sveriges inträde i Nato år 2024 markerade ett betydande säkerhetspolitiskt skifte efter över 200 år av militär alliansfrihet. Det blev ett förändrat säkerhetsläge i Europa efter Rysslands invasion i Ukraina och detta ledde till att Sverige tillsammans med andra europeiska länder tog sig an nya försvarsstrategier som svar på förändringen. Försvarsindustrin är en moraliskt kontroversiell bransch somSweden’s accession to NATO in 2024 marked a significant shift in security policy following more than 200 years of military non-alignment. The security situation in Europe changed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leading Sweden, along with other European countries, to adopt new defence strategies in response to these developments. The defence industry is a morally controversial sector that r
This study examines and compares how Danish and Swedish authorities strategically construct crisis communication in relation to the Danish drone crisis in 2025. The study takes its starting point in a knowledge gap regarding how public authorities communicate strategically when addressing uncertainty and security-related threats. More specifically, the study aims to examine how crisis communicatio
This thesis examines the extent to which European Union (EU) labour law provides protection against unjustified dismissal. It focuses on both substantive and procedural forms of protection, as well as the limits imposed by EU competence. The analysis is based on a doctrinal method and draws on EU primary law, secondary legislation, and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJ
