The purpose of this thesis is to apply Value Network Theory (VNT) to the understanding of customer integration and co-creation in Public Transport Authorities (PTAs). It aims to identify key challenges and opportunities in this shift, and to provide deeper insights into how PTAs, such as Skånetrafiken and SL, can strategically transition from a traditional value chain model to a more customer-incl
This thesis investigates how young women navigate flexibilization and informalization in the Taiwanese labor market, their motivations guiding the transition from formal to informal sector, and generational differences in terms of motivations and interpretation of informality. A qualitative approach was adopted, entailing thematic analysis based on a corpus of different data, including participant
This thesis investigates gender image in Sichuan based TV dramas supplemented with interviews with women from the region. This research focuses on the region of cultural Sichuan including Chongqing municipality and its perceived differing regional gender hierarchy. It utilizes Feminist Critical Discourse Analysis and Visual Analysis to examine the representation of Gender in two television dramas,
Snabbare kraftöverföring i elbilar med ny teknik Genom att förbättra en central komponent i BorgWarners drivsystem för elbilar kan bilen reagera snabbare, bli effektivare och billigare – utan att öka storlek eller vikt. Många moderna elbilar använder sig av en så kallad Torque Vectoring-teknik för att fördela kraft mellan hjulen och anpassa körningen efter vägförhållanden och körstil. Denna tekniThis master’s thesis investigates the feasibility of alternative actuation methods for the BorgWarner electric Torque Vectoring with Disconnect (eTVD) system. Currently employed in several car models, the existing eTVD system performs admirably. However, BorgWarner’s commitment to technological improvement and the desire to attract potential customers to this unique technique serve as the impetus

This master’s thesis examines the challenges and changes faced by voluntary local sections of the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW). The study aims to identify key factors influencing volunteer recruitment, training, and retention within these sections, particularly focusing on the impact of societal changes, workload, training limitations, and administrative burdens on the voluntee
This thesis analyzes lived experiences from former juku students as well as promotional material produced by three shingakujuku (Nichinōken, Yotsuya Ōtsuka, Sapix) aimed at the private junior high school entrance examinations in Japan. The research questions aims to investigate the framing of the future and outcome of attending juku as well as how former students reflect on their own experience an
Cancer is a disease condition where the cells proliferate uncontrollably leading to organ failure, metabolic collapse (cachexia), chronic inflammation combined with immune dysregulation, and many more. Out of the most prevailing cancers, breast cancer ranks second in the world of which 75% are diagnosed with hormone-dependent breast cancers. Bile Salt Stimulated Lipase(BSSL), a lipolytic enzyme se
This thesis seeks to answer the question of whether obligations to primary pandemic prevention and bio-risk management can be derived from the human right to health. The definition of the right to health in Article 12 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) was selected, as it is the broadest definition of the right to health in international human rights la
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric condition and poses a significant burden on public health. The underlying causes and mechanisms of depression remain poorly understood. There is a growing body of evidence linking microRNAs (miRNAs) to major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the causal relationship between miRNAs and MDD remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate t
Ovarian cancer remains a significant challenge in oncology, with current treatments having a high recurrence rate making further investigations into treatment targets and the heterogeneity of cancers necessary. As findings from cell lines models are hard to transfer to in vivo cancers, we wanted to explore possibilities to better integrate cell line and tissue omics data. To do so, this study leve
The composition of the tumour microenvironment has been reported as a meaningful predictor in triple-negative breast cancer’s (TNBC) prognosis and response to treatment and has allowed for implementation of new therapeutic approaches such as immunotherapy. Therefore, new spatially resolved approaches have arisen recently to unravel the properties of the microenvironment, ranging from spatial trans
Over recent years, mass spectrometry has become essential for advancing proteomics. A typical approach in proteomics involves digesting proteins into peptides, analyzing these peptides using liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS), and identifying them via tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). In Data-Dependent Acquisition (DDA), quantification is often achieved by counting MS/MS spectra o
