This thesis examines how a shift in a media’s ideological position affects the journalistic role, work practices, and professional ideals of the working journalists. Dagbladet Børsen serves as the case study, since the media announced a shift towards a new fact-based and impartial stance in January 2024. The thesis explores how such a shift influences editorial employees' understanding of thei
This study explores the application of laser-based techniques for measuring blood perfusion to predict anastomotic leaks (AL) following esophagectomy. ALs, a significant postoperative complication, are primarily associated with inadequate perfusion at the surgical site, leading to increased morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Techniques such as Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF), Laser Speckle
I takt med att komplexiteten inom vissa rättsområden ökat, har även behovet vuxit fram av en domstolsorganisation med fördjupad kunskap och kompetens att handlägga tvister inom dessa områden. För att uppnå sådan specialisering har rättskipningen i Sverige delats upp mellan olika särskilda och speciella domstolar, där varje domstolsslag har exklusiv behörighet att pröva mål som faller inom dess resAs the complexity of certain areas of law has increased, so too has the need for a court organization with specialized knowledge and competence to handle disputes within these areas of law. To achieve such specialization, the administration of justice in Sweden has been divided among various specialized courts, each of which has exclusive jurisdiction to hear cases falling within its respective su
The European Union’s identity as a normative power has long been examined and contested, most famously by Ian Manners' conceptualization in his 2002 work, Normative Power Europe. This study critically reassesses the EU's proposed identity through the lens of its responses to two pivotal crises: the Syrian conflict (2012-2015) and the 2016 EU-Türkiye Refugee Deal. The research interrogates
Current automated haematology systems lack the functionality of avian blood analysis using 10x magnification, which is an important feature as it allows for faster and more cost-effective blood analysis. The problem originates from the difference in red blood cell morphology in avian blood compared to mammalian blood, as the former are nucleated. The project was divided in two objectives, finding
This qualitative study aimed to explore the experiences related to the integration process in the Swedish labor market of highly educated female refugees who fled from Syria to Sweden between the years of 2014 to 2021. Interviews were conducted with a total of seven women who, at the time of their interviews, were in different stages of integration into the labor market. Three of the women that we
I över 100 år har den svenska avtalslagen varit i kraft. Under majoriteten av dessa år har avtalslagen och dess förarbeten utgjort en stabil grund för avtals-mekanismen. De metoder för avtalsslut som lagen ursprungligen utformades för skiljer sig avsevärt från dagens möjligheter. Trots detta har avtalslagen hittills visat sig flexibel nog att hantera moderna utmaningar och lösa problem även i nya The Contract Act has been in force for over 100 years. For the majority of these years, the Contract Act and its preparatory works have provided a stable basis for the contract mechanism. The methods of contracting for which the law was originally designed differ significantly from today's possibilities. Nevertheless, the Contract Act has so far proved flexible enough to cope with modern chall
Den nuvarande ökningen av icke-statliga aktörer som bedriver kommersiell verksamhet i rymden har lett till juridiska frågor om bland annat ansvar. Är det nuvarande internationella rättsliga ramverket för yttre rymden tillräckligt etablerat för att hantera övergången från ett rättsområde som en gång dominerades av stater, till ett område som idag drivs av privata ekonomiska intressen? I denna uppThe important rise of non-state actors performing commercial activities in outer space has resulted in legal issues regarding inter alia responsibility. The question is whether the current international legal framework on outer space is sufficiently established to cope with a continuously shifting legal area once dominated by States to one today driven by private economic interests. This essay i
The survival of our planet is in crisis, and it is affecting society at large. People recognise companies have significantly contributed to the problem, and stakeholders expect and demand businesses to do better. Nowadays, there are strong arguments in sustainability for engaging with as many employees as possible to find novel and innovative solutions more quickly. This study investigated how a p
ABSTRACT This thesis explores the chances of learning from an educational model from Colombia, Escuela Nueva Learning Circles, to overcome issues with refugee integration in primary schools in Austria. It set out to understand the current challenges in Austria and a possible utilization of a pedagogical model of the Global South for empowering refugee children in a Global North context. The empir
Det svenska elnätet är i behov av stora investeringar och flexibilitetsåtgärder för att upprätthålla ökad efterfrågan på energi och effekt, samt ökad andel variabel förnybar elproduktion. Ett sådant tillvägagångssätt är det ökade införandet av effekttariffer för småkunder bland svenska nätoperatörer som syftar till att uppmuntra slutkonsumenter att utjämna last. Med batterilagring i hemmet kan kon
I föreliggande arbete genomförs en fallstudie av en lärares undervisning med skönlitteratur. Syftet är att studera hur undervisning med skönlitteratur kan planeras och utföras på ett sådant sätt att den ligger i linje med Skolverkets skrivningar i ämnets syfte för svenska på gymnasiet. Som teoretiskt ramverk används Gunilla Molloys ämnesdidaktiska perspektiv, Judith Langers teorier om byggandet av
Inhalation of engineered nanoparticles that are handled as powders or sprays in consumer products poses a potential health risk. To investigate the effects of nanoparticles on human health, the Nano Aerosol Chamber for In-Vitro Toxicity (NACIVT) system has been designed for controlled deposition of aerosol particles onto cell cultures. The objective of this study was to estimate the deposited dose
Introduction The care needs of cancer patients can vary greatly across the course of their serious illness. Despite national efforts to promote supportive care – early integrated palliative care – in Sweden, systemic barriers such as ambiguous terminology and stigma complicate this development. Region Skåne Serious Illness Database (RSSID) is being developed to collect large-cohort data for condu
This thesis analyzes how and why old toys are restored by and for adults, despite contemporary Western society's understanding of toys as signifiers of childhood exclusively. With this in mind, the intent is to answer whether childhood attachments to toys can also be observed in adults by analyzing how the restoration process of toys reaffirms emotional and social significance for all involved
While international research is increasingly concerned about the role of socio-economic status in special education, Greek scholars have focused on the psychological and behavioural aspects and their connection to academic attainment, overlooking the impact of socio-economic status. Even though the Greek legal framework advocates for inclusive education, there is a significant gap between policies
