Bakgrund: Nackbesvär förekommer i många yrkesgrupper där arbetet innebär ergonomiskt belastande arbetsmoment såsom statiska eller ansträngande kroppsställningar. Truckförare är en yrkesgrupp där arbetsmomenten ofta innebär upprepade rörelser eller påfrestande positioner, men kunskapsläget om just truckförare är begränsat. För att bättre förstå hur vanligt nackbesvär är i denna grupp behövs studier
Bakgrund: Inom fysioterapi sker en ständig metodutveckling, där gamla metoder fasas ut och nya tillkommer. En ny behandlingsmetod är MediYoga. Yoga har idag blivit en allt mer välkänd träningsform. MediYoga är en yogaform som är framtagen för att användas i hälso- och sjukvården och kan ge goda effekter mot stress och ångest. Swedish Institute Medical Yoga (SIMY) har tagit fram ett nytt ramverk, M
Bakgrund: Främre korsbandsrupturer (ACL-rupturer) är vanliga inom många idrotter. Trots rehabilitering kvarstår ofta förändrade rörelsemönster och en betydande andel av idrottare drabbas av återfallsskador efter återgång till idrott. Beslut om återgång baseras ofta på symmetri mellan benen i exempelvis styrka och hoppfunktion. Samtidigt saknas riktlinjer för konditionsutvärdering, trots att kondit
Bakgrund Fotledsstukningar är den vanligaste skadan inom basket och kan leda till bestående funktionsnedsättningar samt rädsla för återkommande skada. Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka funktionella skillnader mellan den skadade och den oskadade foten. Studien syftade även till att utvärdera självrapporterad funktion och rädsla för återgång till aktivitet bland basketspelare som drabbats a
This thesis investigates how the experience of founding a youth-led social-innovation project can enhance young people’s agency for sustainable development, through a qualitative single-case study of Ashoka Belgium’s 2023 Youth for Change (Y4C) programme. Grounded in a social-constructivist, abductive logic, the study uses semi-structured interviews and mobilises three strands of scholarship—Socia
This research assesses the relationship between rainfall spatial distribution and levee failure risks by scouring at the confluence of the Chikugo River mainstream and Kusu River. Using d4PDF large climate ensembles (10,140 years of data), the study integrated a Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model with iRIC Nays 2DH for 2D hydro-morphodynamic analysis.The ensembles were categorized into three g
It is apparent that climate change is progressing, increasing the frequency of heavy rainfall events. In coastal areas, halocline formation caused by increased freshwater inflow can inhibit vertical mixing, reducing oxygen concentration in the bottom layer. The Ariake Sea, an inner bay in Japan with a large tidal range, has faced serious issues such as red tides and hypoxia. Previous studies
Medical image segmentation often relies either on traditional image processing methods, which can be limited in their ability to handle complex image characteristics, or on deep learning approaches, which require large amounts of high-quality annotated data. Hybrid methods that combine these two paradigms offer a potential way to reduce annotation requirements while maintaining strong segmentation
Despite the prevalence of claims of a structural relationship between external indebtedness of countries and their future reliance on exports of primary commodities to match debt payments, there's a crucial lack of empirical research on this matter. In this thesis I operationalize theories of how lending from the industrial core to peripheral countries lead to environmental and economical scar
On the 28th of October 2025, Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. This thesis examines how it was experienced, narrated, and acted upon in Accompong, a sovereign Indigenous Maroon polity in Cockpit Country. Based on six weeks of ethnographic fieldwork (14 November–23 December 2025), we follow Melissa as an unfolding process rather than a bounded event. Guided by political ecology
Accurate calibration is essential for reliable polarimetric measurements in frequency-domain terahertz ellipsometry. In this thesis, we investigate how different sets of calibration samples influence the quality of the extracted 4×4 Mueller matrix in an in-house built terahertz Mueller Matrix Ellipsometer operating in the 170-250 GHz range. Three calibration sets composed of various combinations o
This thesis examines the practices and importance of the “care-tree” (vårdträd) for human-nature relations in Sweden during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The “care-tree” have a long history of use, are entwined with supernatural beliefs, and are said to reflect the well-being and luckiness of the yard where it’s planted. Using theories of social control, non-human agencies and the dwelling pe
The growing accumulation and mismanagement of waste disrupt the ecological systems that sustain human existence, leaving environmental burdens for future generations. This situation highlights the need for circular approaches such as zero-waste management, where waste is treated as a resource rather than discarded. Studying social waste relations in Sweden is particularly relevant, given the count
Malaria is one of the most widespread and life-threatening infectious diseases in the world and is caused by parasites from the genus Plasmodium, transmitted to humans through mosquito bites. Despite great progress in the development of antimalarial drugs, the growing resistance to them, especially chloroquine, is a major problem. New drugs therefore need to be developed and chloroquine analogues
This thesis investigates how urban street design can be reimagined to increase livable public space and improve residents’ perceptions of safety in dense urban neighborhoods. Focusing on the districts of Högaborg, Eneborg, and Söder in Helsingborg, Sweden, the study examines how streetscape design interventions can address persistent negative perceptions of these areas, which residents often regar
European strategic autonomy has been a fluctuating discussion since the end of the Second World War. It has primarily been the project of France, but has mostly failed to materialise. This is partly due to other European states’ worry that such a project would become an extension of French national interests. Some of the strongest opponents of an exclusive European defence cooperation have been sm
This case examines Meta’s strategic response to the 2026 social media addiction trial, where the company faces accusations that Social media design contributes to compulsive use among young users. While competitors such as TikTok and Snapchat chose to settle before trial, Meta decided to defend its practices in court. The case invites students to analyze this decision from a corporate brand and cr
