This thesis presents a scoping review of academic literature on the intersection of religion, spirituality, and Indigenous worldviews with climate change adaptation. While adaptation research has traditionally emphasised technical, institutional, and financial dimensions, the cultural and spiritual dimensions shaping community responses remain underexplored. To address this gap, the review systema
This thesis investigates whether recent Large Language Models (LLMs)—notably ChatGPT—have influenced sectoral employment in Sweden. Using a multi-cutoff Difference-in-Differences (DiD) design centered on the dates November 2022 (initial ChatGPT release), September 2023, March 2024, we compare employment changes in high vs. low-exposure sectors classified via exposure metrics from Eloundou et al. (
Previous research has linked hallucination-proneness and psychosis-like experiences to the personality traits of Neuroticism and Openness in non-clinical samples. However, specific assessment of auditory hallucinatory experiences remains underexplored. In response, the present study investigated the links between personality—at trait and facet levels—and the occurrence of conditioned auditory hall
Architecture is often seen as the art of permanence, of creating structures meant to endure. But what happens when permanence is disrupted – when buildings fall into ruin or are dismantled? This thesis explores decay, reuse, and reassembly, challenging conventional preservation by embracing impermanence and unconventional outcomes. Set in the hills of Oltrepò Pavese in southern Lombardy, it focuse
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utvärdera förslagen gällande beskattning av den digitala ekonomin genom införandet av en betydande ekonomisk närvaro (SEP), betydande digital närvaro (SDP) eller införandet av en källskatt. För att på ett grundligt sätt förstå utmaningarna med beskattning av den digitala ekonomin använder jag det svensk-brittiska skatteavtalet för att ge ett konkret exempel på hThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the proposals to tax the digital econ-omy by introducing a significant economic presence (SEP), significant digital presence (SDP) or a withholding tax. To fully understand the challenges of taxing the digital economy, I use the Sweden-UK tax treaty to provide a concrete example of how digital business is handled in practice. The tax treaty is used as a too
This thesis examines how active power control (Volt-Watt control) and reactive power compensation (Volt-VAr control) can help limit voltage increases on the low voltage grid due to high photovoltaic (PV), installations. Due to the large increase in interest to install small scale PV-systems within residential areas the Distribution System Operator E.ON, has noticed problems concerning high voltage
The current climate crisis is pressuring policymakers to outline what a post-fossil economy might entail. In Norway, many have pointed towards the salmon farming industry as a central part of the country’s green transition. At the same time, the industry has shifted towards increasing use of feed imports from Brazilian soy plantations - the second largest driver of deforestation in the country. Ex
Studies show that employees are an organisation’s most important asset. Therefore, an employer needs to attract the desired future employees. Currently, core values appear frequently on employers’ websites. Core values could consequently operate as a part of external employer branding to attract candidates. The question remains whether core values matter to future employees when considering workin
A light pulse that travels through a narrow spectral window, i.e. a frequency range of low absorption, within a strongly absorbing frequency range will be delayed due to strong dispersion. If however, the absorbing structure is inverted, such that it is amplifying instead, one will see that a pulse travelling through this window will have its pulse peak come out of the material before it is sent i
This study aims to examine how a cyber attack crisis affects public attitudes toward an organization and the organization’s reputation. The study explores the Situational Crisis Communication Theory’s (SCCT) victim categorization of a cyber attack crisis in a Swedish context. Further, it examines how individuals’ knowledge about cyber attacks, attribution of crisis responsibility, and response str
In the early 21st century, deflationary trends applied pressure on margins in a range of different industries and subsequently cost reductions were required. Improving efficiency in the supply chain was identified as one of the key sources of potential cost savings. Subsequently, a trend towards slimmer supply chains with less stockkeeping emerged. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic supply chai
Digitalization has meant changes in the way the Swedish healthcare sector operates. Nowadays, it is common to meet a doctor online. There are several studies examining patients' views on video consultations, but this study examines the challenges faced by doctors which leads to our research question: What are the challenges with digital video consultants from a doctor's perspective? The fo
Magnetomotive Ultrasound, MMUS, is an imaging modality used to reveal a magnetic contrast agent using an external time-varying inhomogeneous magnetic field. By this, the particles are set in motion, and the motion is detected with ultrasound. The technique has applications in cancer detection but is limited in penetration as the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance. Instead of increasing
Humanitarian crises require a quick and effective emergency response to answer the needs of vulnerable populations. Deploying mobile health clinics in the field is an example of an outreach activity that can be undertaken for this purpose. This study is based on a real mission implemented by a medical international aid organization (MSF or Médecins Sans Frontières) in Cameroon during the recent Ce
This master's thesis presents a qualitative analysis of nine interviews with public library users who identify as dyke, lesbian, or queer. The study focuses on the participants' lived experiences of public libraries and aim to investigate the library's role in the exploration and practice of a queer or lesbian sexual identity. In what ways does the library contribute to and/or obstruct
High levels of biodegradable dissolved organic carbon can affect odor, taste, color and chemical oxygen demand of distributed drinking water as a consequence of bacterial growth (Frias et al, 1995; Escobar, I.C. and Randall, A.A., 2001). The water industry would be able to improve the quality of distributed drinking water if spatial and temporal variations of BDOC could be mapped in the distributi
Gaussian to top-hat beam shaping is widely used today in areas of cutting, welding, and laser patterning. Typically, single-mode solid state lasers are used whose Gaussian intensity distribution is transformed into a top-hat. In this thesis the transformation is applied in a single-mode fiber connector, where the aim is a uniform intensity distribution of the emerging light from the connector. Thi
