Research question: "How do young women construct and perform aspirational identities through the Clean Girl aesthetic on digital platforms?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding of how trendy aesthetics on digital platforms like TikTok shape users’ identity construction and self-performance. Theoretical perspective: Two main theoretical fields, aspirational
Global food systems are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, energy volatility, and geopolitical disruptions—threatening the security and stability of perishable supply chains. This thesis investigates the potential of aseptic packaging technologies, specifically ultra-high-temperature (UHT) treatment and sterile filling, as a means to reduce energy consumption and enhance resilience in the
In the evolving landscape of digital entrepreneurship, social media influencers (SMIs) have emerged as strategic actors navigating complex stakeholder environments to sustain long-term business viability. While existing literature extensively addresses branding, authenticity, and audience engagement, it often overlooks the strategic coordination required to manage stakeholder relationships across
Översvämningar i urbana miljöer är en växande utmaning i Kigali, Rwanda, särskilt i informella bosättningar där snabb urbanisering och bristfällig infrastruktur ökar risken. Denna studie syftade till att identifiera centrala hinder och drivkrafter som påverkar implementeringen av översvämningsåtgärder inom uppgraderingsprojekt, med särskilt fokus på naturbaserade lösningar (NBS). Genom intervjuer Urban flooding is a growing challenge in Kigali, Rwanda, particularly in informal settlements where rapid urbanisation and inadequate infrastructure increase flood risk. This study aimed to identify key barriers and drivers that influence the implementation of flood risk measures in residential upgrading projects, with a specific emphasis on the potential of nature-based solutions (NBS). Stakehold
Electricity grids are essential to industrialized societies, yet they are increasingly unable to meet the dual demands of increased electrification and electricity system decarbonization. Smart grids offer a solution to these challenges by integrating information and communication technologies into the physical grid. However, despite their potential, smart grid implementations often fail to delive
As the demand for sustainable and efficient energy systems continues to grow, integrated energy solutions have sparked interest in materials that combine multiple functionalities within a single structure. Rather than serving a single purpose, such materials could store energy, catalyse chemical reactions, and even exhibit optical changes, enabling novel applications in smart devices and material
This thesis examines how Sweden’s new development policy, Development for a New Era, reconfigures the agency of its civil society organizations (CSOs). The policy marks a major shiftin Sweden’s foreign aid landscape, moving from a human rights– and needs-based approach to one driven by strategic, trade, and migration interests. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of interviews with CSO staff and med
This study focuses on the chromatographic analysis of neonicotinoid pesticides in bumblebee samples. Analyzing these residues presents significant challenges due to the complex biological matrix and the critical need for high detectability to meet regulatory limits. Furthermore, many conventional chromatographic methods are often time-consuming and rely on substantial volumes of hazardous organic
Since the COVID-19 pandemic the need for mental healthcare has increased globally, which has been causing longer waiting times before treatment becomes a possibility. Many new innovations have been made to improve this, such as internet- and artificial intelligence-based treatments. The current study experimented the influence of TalkToAlba platform’s AI-cognitive behavioural therapy chatbot and i
Buildings are responsible for approximately 30% of global energy use, with HVAC systems accounting for 40% of that demand. Among these, data centers have become significant energy consumers, requiring highly efficient and stable cooling solutions. This project aims to explore data-driven control methods to improve the energy efficiency of data center cooling systems as well as reduce the effort an
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
This paper uses nissological theory in order to ascertain the connection between Eurosceptic voting tendencies or lack thereof, and three elements often associated with island dwelling, those being physical, legal, or identity-based separation. The author has chosen four distinct island regions from around Europe, more specifically Sicily, Crete, Azores and Åland. After an explanation of the basic
This study delves into how the European Union acts as a norm entrepreneur, promoting ecological sustainability through external trade policy. By applying qualitative content analysis on the Paris Agreement, the Convention on Biological Diversity and the recent Economic Partnership Agreement between the EU and Kenya, the research identifies environmental norms ingrained in these agreements and eval
Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om varför kön som kategori inte har inkluderats i den svenska straffskärpningsregeln för hatbrott, och analyserar en möjlig förändring av detta. Uppsatsen utgår från att könsrelaterat våld, särskilt mäns våld mot kvinnor, är ett strukturellt samhällsproblem som i vissa fall kan förknippas med misogyni och kvinnohat. Lagstiftningen har hittills exkluderat kön som skydThis thesis addresses the question of why gender as a category has not been included in the Swedish aggravation rule for hate crimes and analyzes a potential change in this regard. The thesis is based on the premise that gender- related violence, particularly men’s violence against women, is a structural societal problem which can be associated with misogyny and hatred against women. To date, legi
Influencer marketing är en växande marknadsföringsform och med den uppstår nya skatterättsliga utmaningar. Skatteverket har uppmärksammat osäkerhet och bristande efterlevnad bland influencers kring beskattning av mottagna produkter. Skatteverket har den 17 april 2025 i ett pressmeddelande informerat om att influencers kan behöva deklarera. I denna uppsats undersöks hur produkter som skickas till iInfluencer marketing is a growing form of marketing and with it new tax law challenges arise. The Swedish Tax Agency has drawn attention to uncertainty and lack of compliance among influencers regarding taxation of products received. On April 17, 2025, The Swedish Tax Agency issued a press release stating that influencers may need to declare. This thesis examines how products sent to influencers w
Bakgrund: En av de främsta riskerna inom den perioperativa vården patienterna riskerar att drabbas av är kvarglömda kirurgiska instrument och material. Detta fenomen benämns som retained surgical instruments, RSI, vilket avser allt oavsiktligt kvarglömt material. RSI kan orsaka allvarliga konsekvenser för den drabbade patienten. En viktig omvårdnadsåtgärd som operationssjuksköterskan ska utföra fö
Cykeln är ett enkelt och effektivt transportsätt med flera trafiktekniska, miljömässiga och sociala fördelar. Trots det kan cykelinfrastrukturen i många fall vara eftersatt och bortprioriterad. De flesta dödsolyckor i cykeltrafiken sker vid kollision med motorfordon vilket gör interaktionen med motorfordon intressant. Främst kan cykelinfrastruktur i korsningar utformas integrerat där cyklister förThe bicycle is an efficient mode of transport that is often deprioritized. The intersection, where many casualties occur, can be designed either integrated or separated. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the safety effects of these designs, the motives behind them and to decide if the distinction between them is relevant by doing a literature review as well as an interview review. It is har
