In today's media landscape, podcasts have become a central platform for personal storytelling, entertainment and marketing. With its conversational and audio-based structure, podcasts offer unique conditions for building credibility and authenticity through language. While previous research has examined authenticity in digital media and rhetorical techniques separately, there is still limited

This master’s thesis explores how organized team sports can function as tools for social reintegration and destigmatization among individuals facing substance abuse and mental health challenges. Using Newpath FC (a Swedish football-based rehabilitation program) as a case study, the research investigates how participation in sport influences identity reconstruction, social belonging, and perceived

Family reunification lies at the intersection of humanitarian values, national identity, and gender politics, making it one of the most complex and debated areas of immigration policy. This thesis examines how nationalism and gender inequality, individually and together, shape family reunification policies across 27 European countries. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of femonationalism, int

Fossil fuel companies have shifted from outright climate denial to subtler strategies of delay. These include low-carbon solutions — carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen — which legitimise and extend fossil fuel dependency. This study examines how low-carbon discourses operate through the media in Singapore, a major refining and petrochemical hub with an authoritarian state-

This thesis tries to examine distributional spatial equity in accessibility to green infrastructure and essential services across DeSO areas in Malmö municipality, Sweden, in 2022. The study investigates how accessibility varies spatially in relation to public parks, public transport stops, schools, and healthcare facilities, and evaluates whether accessibility advantages and disadvantages are dis

Solar drying technologies give smallholder farmers in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC) a low-cost way to reduce post-harvest losses and add value to agricultural produce. Yet bringing solar-dried products to market remains poorly understood, particularly in fragmented food systems where structural conditions shape market entry in ways that standard frameworks do not account for. This thesis

Our way of handling the climate crisis is not fast or ambitious enough. We have the opportunity to plan for a better future, not just accept the consequences of our failure. To plan for a better future, we first need to conceptualise a vision of a desired end-point, in this case a climate-neutral and sustainable city. This essay is meant to inspire radical change by using and expanding the radical

Software upgrades are a substantial source of instability in enterprise IT ecosystems. Instabilities are most common during the post-adoption phase, when systems must remain operational while evolving. This thesis examines post-adoption software upgrade instability from a sociotechnical perspective. A sequential explanatory mixed-methods design was adopted. The quantitative analysis identified re

Beer brewing relies on the conversion of starch into fermentable sugars. However, in traditional mashing, 3–37% of starch remains unutilized. This is partly attributed to the protein matrix in barley malt, which traps small B-type starch granules and impedes the breakdown of the starch. This study aimed to investigate if applying hydrodynamic cavitation during mashing improved the conversion of to

Tetra Pak is a world leading food processing and packaging company. Their manufacturing operations often rely on specialized and highly customized equipment. While the purchasing volumes for such equipment are typically low and irregular, the equipment itself is critical for operational continuity. This creates situations of asymmetric dependence where supplier bankruptcy, product discontinuation,

Finding and maintaining adequate housing is an increasingly serious struggle for many. To what extent the right to housing in international law offers a way out of this struggle is a crucial question that requires careful thinking. This chapter offers a perspective for answering this question by focusing on a particular group: migrants and refugees. To do so, it examines the dynamics of how the ri
