This thesis investigates the relationship between male graduation rates and institutional characteristics in U.S. higher education, focusing on faculty gender composition, the share of students receiving financial aid, and institutional level. Using panel data from 2021-2023, the study applies pooled OLS and fixed effects regression models. No statistically significant relationships were found in
Currently, a discussion is ongoing among key actors in the Swedish Library System concerning a prospective role for library institutions incorporated within the Swedish system of total defense. This discussion has emerged informed by the lessons learned from the Covid 19 Pandemic, and in light of the Russian invasion of Ukraine 2022, among other notable world events. In this ongoing process and di
The primary objective of this master's thesis was to systematically investigate how the net charge and charge distribution of disordered Histone H1.0 peptide variants influence the thermodynamics of their interaction with the fully disordered protein, Prothymosin-alpha (ProTα). This research aimed to provide new insights into the principles governing polyelectrolytic binding between two highly
The AI Commission prescribed a governance model, namely centralized leadership, to tackle existing digitalization challenges, as outlined in the Roadmap for Sweden at the end of 2024. This research discussed the implications of the Roadmap for Sweden on welfare governance within the Automated Decision-making (ADM) context as interpreted through a Weberian theoretical and methodological framework.
Identifying resonance frequencies caused by liquid sloshing in modular transport systems is essential for effective vibration suppression and minimising mechanical wear. An example of such a system is the ACOPOStrak by B&R, which utilises a Zero Vibration Filter (ZVF) to mitigate these effects. Accurate tuning of this filter requires knowledge of the system’s resonance frequencies. Obtaining t
Denna studie syftar till att synliggöra erfarenheter och berättelser från barn till exilflyktingar från Abya Yala som flydde till Sverige, under 70–80 talet, och lyfter hur trauman, minnen och politiska arv påverkar barnens liv – även i vuxen ålder. Genom en dekolonial logik och metodologi undersöks även hur storytelling, autohistoria, chicanafeministisk epistemologi och investigacion-acción partiThis study aims to make visible the experiences and stories of children of exiled refugees from Abya Yala who fled to Sweden, during the 70s and 80s, highlighting how trauma, memories, and political legacies affect the lives of the children – even in their adulthood. Through a decolonial logic and methodology, it also explores how storytelling, autohistory, chicana feminist epistemology and invest
This thesis examines whether the developers of generative artificial intelligence (GENAI) systems can, and should, be recognised as authors under EU copyright framework for the images generated by their systems. Technological advances over the past decade have redefined traditional conceptions of creativity and copyright in ways that current legislation never anticipated. This study addresses a si
This thesis investigates the implementation and experimental evaluation of velocity controllers for force and motion control. It also explores how adaptive estimators and velocity control can be integrated cooperatively to improve the accuracy and efficiency of such control systems. Additionally, the thesis addresses how uncertainties affect position tracking performance, offering insights and sol
The electrical energy landscape is changing rapidly with increasing electrification and renewable energy expansion. Smart meters deployed in households create opportunities for understanding energy consumption patterns through load disaggregation, the task of identifying individual appliances directly from aggregate electrical power data. Load disaggregation could be used for better understanding
The Naturum "Flinta" explores the architectural potential of a decommissioned limestone quarry in Malmö. Grounded in SDG 1.5, which focuses on resilience and reduced vulnerability in relation to climate-related events, the proposal investigates duality as a spatial concept. Two contrasting structures embody the qualities found in the site’s geology: flint and porous limestone. Through ma
This thesis investigates the high-temperature oxidation kinetics of two nickel-based superalloys produced via additive manufacturing (AM), referred to as alloy A and alloy B, in comparison to the conventionally cast superalloy MAR-M 247. The study focuses on oxide scale growth, morphology, and depletion zone development under semi-isothermal conditions at temperatures below 900°C and 1000°C over e
This thesis examines how labour exploitation in Sicily’s tomato sector is legitimised through both the Italian labour migration policy and agri-food industry discourse. It argues that exploitation is not the result of policy failure, but rather a structural feature of capitalist agriculture, normalised through public and private narratives that present inherently exploitative labour relations as e
Contemporary organizations expect newly formed teams to perform from the outset under strict time and task constraints. While Wheelan’s (1994a; 2005) Integrated Model of Group Development (IMGD) frames team development as a progression through distinct stages, few studies have examined whether such assumptions are reflected in the temporal structure of early interaction. Drawing on a dynamic syste
This thesis investigates the lived experiences of women with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), diagnosed in adulthood in Denmark, focusing on how culturally ingrained norms and diagnostic frameworks contribute to masking behaviours, delayed recognition and systemic exclusion. The reason behind this thesis is a persistent underdiagnosis of ADHD in women and the subsequent resultant n
This study presents a custom surface electromyography (sEMG) data acquisition system combining the TI ADS1299 analog-to-digital converter, Teensy MicroMod micro-controller, and a Python-based graphical user interface for real-time signal monitoring and guided data collection. The system outperformed the widely used Ninapro dataset across all major classification metrics, demonstrating improved cla
Denna uppsats grundar sig i att på ett djupare plan förstå hur personlighetstester används och varför de har börjat användas i kommuner i Skåne. Syftet med arbetet var att få svar på frågorna varför och hur. Mer specifikt ville vi ta reda på i vilket skede, vilka tester som används, hur testerna används och vad motivet till införandet var. För att få svar på dessa frågor har en kvalitativ metod an
Detta arbete undersöker tillväxteffekten av andelen förnybar elproduktion av den totala nationella elmixen med paneldata från 49 afrikanska länder 1996-2020, i Fixed Effects-regressioner. Förnybar energi framhålls ofta som en nyckelfaktor för hållbar utveckling, samtidigt som sambandet mellan förnybar energi och ekonomisk tillväxt är omdiskuterat i tidigare forskning. Resultaten i denna undersökni
This research analyses the communication strategies of the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) and Hamas’ Al-Qassam Brigades on Telegram following the October 7th, 2023, attack. Focusing on 40 images and videos posted between October and December 2023, it investigates how visual content is used to perform violence, shape narratives, and legitimise actions. The study adopts a qualitative, social construct
