Hijacking an Organizational Crisis: A multiple case study on how organizational crises can be used to highlight narratives about Sweden

This study analyzes the influence techniques applied when hijacking an organizational crisis in order to construct a larger narrative about Sweden. By applying the concepts of narration, mythical speech and moral culture, the study investigates which narrative techniques are applied to generate engagement in disinformation narratives. This was done through conducting a qualitative content analysis

Resolving temporal links between the Högberget granite and the Wigström tungsten skarn deposit in Bergslagen (Sweden) using trace elements and U-Pb LA-ICPMS on complex zircons

I Bergslagen, Sverige, finns Skandinaviens största tungstenstillgångar, och här har man i årtionden brutit denna värdefulla metall. Brytningen fick dock ett abrupt slut runt 80-talet, men i dagsläget finns planer från prospekterare att återuppta industrin. Bildningsmodellerna för tungstensmineraliseringarna har sedan länge varit omdebatterad, men brett accepterat är att värme från närliggande granCombined U-Pb and REE trace element LA-ICPMS analyses were performed on zircons, from the scheelite-bearing Wigström skarn, associated micro-granitic dykes and the highly evolved parental Högberget (sensu stricto) granite. Combined systematic of zircon typology and microtextures, trace elements and isotopic chemistry suggest the presence of several diverse zircon types, spanning from early- to lat

How authentic is authenticity on Instagram: a Swedish social media influencer and social media follower perspective

Companies are spending more money on the SMI marketing strategy than ever. Research does however show that SMIs are viewed as sellouts doing collaborations for personal profit. Hence it is questionable for how authenticity (the number one thing people look for before making a purchase) is perceived and communicated. One does simply not understand how authenticity is perceived, as SMIs themselves a

Planetary boundary layer height measurements in a rural environment in southern Sweden - Relation to meteorological parameters and aerosol particle concentrations

The aim of this project is to analyse planetary boundary layer height (BLH) measurements from the Hyltemossa research station and find their dependence on seasonality, time of day, and air temperature. Further, investigation was made into the correlation between mass concentration of particulate matter with equivalent diameter<1μm (PM1) and black carbon (BC) aerosol and the BLH and how this varies

How Can CSR Give a Competitive Advantage in Accordance with the CSR Stage Model? A comparison between the Swedish company MAX and the American company McDonald's CSR strategies

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse how a CSR strategy can create a competitive advantage using the CSR Stage Model in a comparison between MAX and McDonald's. It was found that a majority of consumers value a fast-food restaurant’s CSR work and take that into consideration when choosing between restaurants. Moreover, the survey respondents perceived MAX to be the most sustainable fast-foo

Psychological Safety and Team Effectiveness – A Quantitative Study of IT Teams from Sweden and The United States

The modern economy has put an emphasis on team-led work in both large- and small-scale projects. This has led to ways to maximize the effectiveness of teams, with an increasing focus being put on one key concept: psychological safety. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between psychological safety and team effectiveness through the use of a cross-sectional study design on an IT p

Characterisation of Low-Level Jets and their Influence on Low-Level Clouds over the Baltic Sea; Östergarnsholm Observatory, Sweden

Vindar och moln har stor betydelse för jorden. Vindar är viktiga genom deras påverkan på dagens och framtida väder (och indirekt på prognoser), eftersom de kan transportera varm eller kall luft, fuktig eller torr luft, mellan olika områden och därmed bidra till att väderförhållandena rubbas så fort vindriktningen ändras. Moln är viktiga genom deras påverkan på jordens strålningsbalans. Således är In this study, about two years of data from Östergarnsholm in the Baltic Sea are used to analyse offshore low-level clouds (LLCs) influenced by low-level jets (LLJs) in the marine atmospheric boundary layer. The LLJs are passages of strong horizontal winds near the surface and are measured using a Doppler LiDAR, which provides information about the wind speed and wind direction up to 300 meters. I

The Dynamics of Swedish House Prices in the 20th and 21st Century

Using data spanning from 1910 to 2020, house price dynamics of Stockholm and Gothenburg are found to be significantly affected by income, household debt, interest rates, construction costs and immigration. Real house prices in Stockholm and Gothenburg exhibit debt elasticities of 1.34 and 1.12, noticeably greater than their respective income elasticities of 0.24 and 0.39. Real house prices in both

Comparing the Past and the Timeless: Landscape Use, Change, and Affordance in Central Blekinge, Sweden, Between the Iron Age and the Medieval Period

Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with

Traits of peat- and upland-derived stream dissolved organic carbon in the permafrost region around Abisko, northern Sweden

Climate change-induced thawing of permafrost mobilizes previously frozen carbon of high potential reactivity, thereby, fuelling microbiological production of greenhouse gases. For this work, an analysis of the quantity, quality, and bioreactivity of DOC in streams from the Stordalen discontinuous permafrost catchment was carried out with stream water samples during the relatively warm summer of 20

Unlocking the Potential of Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises through the Climate-neutral Cities Mission

Through the national innovation program Viable Cities, the City of Malmö and the City of Lund in the Region Skåne of southern Sweden have recently undertaken a mission to become climate-neutral by 2030, requiring the commitment and participation of the entire local, urban system in the pursuit and uptake of bottom-up, radical solutions. While small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up the

Manufacturing matching crisis: A cost-benefit analysis of providing vocational industrial education for upper-secondary general graduates in Sweden

This paper sets out to analyse the potential effectiveness of providing complementary upper-secondary Industry Programme education. The target group of individuals is young upper-secondary graduates from general programmes that have not continued into tertiary education. Relying on economic literature on education effectiveness in general, existing aggregate public data on incomes, reports from ag

Valuation studies in practise: Consumers acquisition of secondhand clothing through online channels at Myrorna (Sweden)

Textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world and fast fashion is the unsustainable practice that most consumers are following. Adopting the habit of purchasing secondhand goods can lead to a more sustainable life. However, some people still do not prefer to consume secondhand clothes because of various stigma and barriers attached to it. In order to eliminate the stigma an

The impact of argument quality, source credibility, risk perception and visual design on perceived message effectiveness in covid-19 vaccine communication in Sweden: A quantitative study from an ELM perspective

Reaching intended effects of the covid-19 pandemic vaccination is dependent on both coverage rates and time. Without vaccine mandates in Sweden, communication strategists have become essential to succeed. Vaccine hesitancy is complex with reasons differing on an individual level. This makes mass communication suboptimal, but also mainly what is used due to practical reasons. Consequently, understa

Towards a Broader Ecological Citizenship Repertoire: Exploring Climate Change Engagement, Transformative Agency, and Post-Carbon Transition Imaginaries among Citizens in Sweden

Current post-carbon transition trajectories are primarily based on a belief in technical solutions wherein considerations of the citizens’ role in collective mobilisation and transformation are largely overlooked. To this end, the thesis seeks to understand how citizens can become active agents of change within transition efforts and how their political agency can be empowered accordingly. This, b
