In today’s technology-driven classrooms, maintaining student focus is increasingly challenging. This study investigates the impact of "Focus room", a digital tool developed by Trelson, designed to reduce digital distractions and support sustained attention during class. Through an observational study in a Swedish school, four 8th grade student classes were observed before and during the
When starting and running a new business, entrepreneurs often face stressors and sleep turbulence such as insomnia that disrupt their daily activities. These challenges frequently result in increased exhaustion, which negatively affects cognitive functioning and entrepreneurial performance. Drawing on existing research, I introduce a conceptual framework to gain valuable understanding into the int
Sweden aims to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2045. Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems are emerging as a practical solution to attempt to minimise climate impact within the building sector in a cost-effective manner. This study theoretically investigates the climate impacts of grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) systems within Sweden’s low-carbon intensity electricity grid. The environmenta
Models of the bilingual mental lexicon, such as the Revised Hierarchical Model (RHM) and the Modified Hierarchical Model (MHM), suggest an asymmetrical pattern in the mental lexicons among bilinguals between two languages, and the representations are multi-dimensional. This study sets out to understand how bilinguals process the mental lexicon of two languages for abstract words and corresponding
Democracy has been the cornerstone of the European Union since its foundation, however, since Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party took office, what has been happening in Hungary is greatly undermining the democratic values in the EU. In that context, this thesis seeks to examine what results in the democratic backsliding in a country which was once one of the most successful stories of democratizati
This thesis will inquire into the contemporary neo-Yugoslavian culture in Sweden and cultural intimacy as a base to recreate the bonds from the past. Moreover, mutual impacts between the two substantially different societies, the society of free individuals of the Swedes and neo- Yugoslav collectiveness, duh Yuge, are the result of a multifaceted process with intriguing outcomes.

Introductions of managed honeybees has been shown to negatively affect wild bees due to increased competition for resources, which threatens to dismantle key ecosystem functions such as pollination. This thesis aims to assess the influence of hive proximity on wild bee richness and abundance, as well as niche overlap, and if these processes are mediated by functional traits and environmental facto
The understanding of interspecific interactions is key to understanding the complexity, diversity, and evolution of land plants. Bryophytes, including mosses, are a diverse group of non-vascular plants that are especially important to study, as they are key parts of ecosystems, are chemically diverse, and have a gametophyte dominant life history. Genetic studies revolving around interspecific inte
The mycelium enables a fungus to explore and interact with spatially and temporally heterogenous environments. It operates at a range of scales, with hyphal traits and cellular events affecting network and colony behavior. Recently, the fungal mycelium has also been used to produce new, sustainable biomaterials which can serve as alternatives to numerous non-renewable or polluting materials and pr
The impacts of climate change have worsened, and natural hazards are becoming more unpredictable, and their consequences more severe. Stakeholders have called for increased funding for climate change mitigation initiatives to combat the worsening effects on people and the planet. This study explores the differences between public and private sector donors in the USA and their strategies for fundin
In a world of rapid biodiversity loss, raptors are vulnerable due to their longevity and low reproductive rates. The red kite (Milvus milvus) is one of few migratory raptors breeding exclusively in Europe. It has previously experienced steep population declines caused mainly by persecution but mostly recovered, no longer classified as globally endangered. However, negative population trends persis
Effective Integrated Business Planning (IBP) is essential for aligning strategic goals and resources across an organization, especially in today's volatile and complex market environment. This master's thesis evaluates the implementation of Anaplan, an Advanced Planning System (APS), within the IBP framework of Oatly, exploring both benefits gained and encountered challenges. By employing
This thesis explores how the European Union, through the East StratCom Task Force’s Disinformation Reviews, discursively frames Russia in its response to disinformation, and how this constructs the Union’s identity. Drawing on Thomas Diez operationalisation of Normative Power Europe as well as Strategic Narrative Theory, this study applies a critical discourse analysis of all reviews published wit
Arctic coastal fishing communities face rapid environmental, social, and regulatory changes that challenge their adaptive capacity and resilience. Focusing on Moskenes on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway and approaching the case with a critical perspective on social resilience theory, this study investigates the adaptability of coastal fisheries and how their adaptive capacity is affected by
As workplaces become increasingly global and digital, managers in multinational organizations face the challenge of adapting internal communication to both cultural diversity and digital platforms. This study explores how managers of a Swedish multinational company experience and adjust their internal communication when working with multicultural teams across regions. Anchored in the field of stra
Marketing without marketers? The rise of vibe marketing in the age of AI This thesis explores vibe marketing as a conceptual and operational model for fully automated digital marketing, enabled by generative AI. As technological developments reshape the marketing landscape, vibe marketing emerges as a novel approach that replaces traditional team structures with orchestrated AI systems. Drawing o
EU:s koncentrationsförordning syftar till att skydda konkurrensen på den inre marknaden från skada som orsakas av betydande strukturella förändringar, genom att säkerställa att företagsförvärv och fusioner leder till ökad tillväxt och en högre levnadsstandard inom EU. Denna uppsats undersöker det rättsliga ”vakuum” som uppstår utanför förordningens tillämpningsområde, samt hur den praktiska tillämThe EU Merger Regulation aims to protect the common market from lasting damage to competition caused by significant structural changes, by ensuring that mergers and acquisitions ultimately lead to improved growth and a higher standard of living within the EU. This thesis examines the regulatory gap outside the scope of the EU Merger Regulation, and how the practice of EU merger control has evolved
In this bachelor's thesis, different forcing term strategies for the inexact Newton method were evaluated on some standard test problems, the stationary p-Laplacian differential equation and the time-dependent Forchheimer equation. The forcing term strategies were initially studied by replicating experiments conducted by An, Mo and Liu (2005, Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics)
