This thesis explores how the concept of ADHD is constructed and represented in Swedish print news media in 2025. Using Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis and Foucauldian theory, 24 articles from Dagens Nyheter, Svenska Dagbladet, Aftonbladet and Expressen are analysed. The study identifies several dominant discourses, including ADHD as a market commodity, as a discourse of overdiagnos
Hur kan stadsutveckling ske så nära havet som möjligt och samtidigt skapa en känsla av plats? En återkommande aspekt i många urbana situationer vid havet – “urbant” i betydelsen en formgiven och bebyggd miljö – är att tillgängligheten till den blå miljön ofta är begränsad i någon mån. Det finns goda exempel på städer med närhet till vatten där förutsättningarna skiljer sig från verkligheten längHow can urban development take place as close to the sea as possible, while also creating a sense of place? A recurring aspect of many urban situations by the sea - “urban” meaning a designed and built-up environment - is that access to the blue spaces is often limited or compromised in some way. There are good examples of cities with proximity to water where the challenges are different from th
This thesis examines why forward integration into hospitality remains a selective rather than widespread strategy in the alcohol industry. While strategic theory suggests that owning the point of consumption can strengthen brand control and reduce coordination risk, most alcohol producers continue to rely on third-party venues. This study explores why that gap exists. Drawing on transaction cost e

Today the majority of 13.5 MHz RFID - system operate ”passive” i.e. without the need of an integrated battery. The basic operating principle of passive RFID system is energy and data transmission using inductive coupling. An antenna of the reader generates a magnetic field, which induces a voltage in the coil of the tag and supplies the tag with energy. The goal of this project is to develop a
Biogas production plays an important role in the transition toward renewable energy systems by converting organic waste into methane and nutrient-rich biofertilizer. This study developed two process models to describe and predict the behaviour of the pre-treatment facility at St1 Biokraft’s biogas plant in Södertörn, Sweden. An annual model was constructed to reproduce the mass balance of input ma
This thesis explores the end-consumers’ perspective on C2C returns within e-commerce. It investigates the consumer's attitudes towards and expectations of the service by investigating potential motivational incitements and perceived hinders when potentially participating in the process. A literature review on current research on returns management and C2C services was conducted, followed by fo
Projekt Beta är ett pilotprojekt inom ramen för CoAction Lund. CoActions mål är att göra Lund klimatneutral till 2030. Projekt Beta innebär att Lunds kommunala fastighetsbolag (LKF) och parkeringsbolag (LKP) sammankopplas i en energigemenskap via ett internt icke-koncessionspliktigt nät (IKN). Detta använder företaget ViaEuropa som ett pilotprojekt för teknikbevis av energigemenskaper. Genom en fa
Concrete exhibits high compressive strength but limited tensile strength, which restricts its applications where it's structurally efficient with respect to cost, manufacturability and strength. Prestressing is commonly used to counteract tensile stress by introducing compressive forces but the combination of prestressed concrete and optimization is still under development. An important aspect
The objective of this thesis is to expand on previous research by implementing a new method for order-restricted estimation of length-biased data. This paper addresses the implementation and analysis of a stochastic spatial probabilistic model for characterizing the geometric relationship between perpetrator addresses and crime scene locations. The given data are length-biased observations of a de
Romanen Den första boken handlar om ett kärlekspar, en svensk vit flicka och en ung svart jamaicansk man. Handlingen utspelas i nutid på Jamaica när flickan besöker ön då och då under 5 års tid för att skriva om ön. Paret möter svårigheter på grund av mosättningar mellan maktordningar som kön, ras/etnicitet, klass. Postkolonialismen har ett stort inflytande på både svarta jamaicaner och vita besök
Barnets bästa är en grundläggande princip i svensk familjerätt. Enligt 6 kap. 2 a § föräldrabalken (FB) ska barnets bästa vara avgörande i alla frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Den 1 januari 2025 trädde en lagändring i kraft, vilket innebar en omformulering av bestämmelsen. Lagändringen medförde att risken för att barnet far illa ges en mer framträdande plats i bedömningen av barnets bästa. The best interest of the child constitutes a fundamental principle in Swedish family law. Pursuant to Chapter 6, Section 2 a of the Swedish Children and Parental Code (FB), the best interests of the child shall be decisive in all matters concerning custody, residence, and visitation. On 1 January 2025, an amendment to the law entered into, force entailing a reformulation of the provision. The amen
This master’s thesis explores the impact from the fire investigations by the Swedish Accident Investigation Authority (SHK) on fire safety in Sweden. Through a mapping survey and a qualitative interview study, it is found that it is often difficult to identify clear connections between the investigations’ safety recommendations and real improvements to fire safety, due to long time spans and multi
This master thesis aims to improve the physical design of smart ear tags for animals. The focus was to minimize the risk of tags falling off or causing harm, while considering environmental and animal welfare aspects. The project followed the methodology of Ulrich & Eppinger’s product development process, which included stages such as planning, concept development, and testing. Data collectio
Pig iron is a key material in cast iron production where impurities and trace elements (ITEs) can significantly influence graphite morphology and the overall cast iron quality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the occurrence and variation of ITEs in pig iron to assess the quality from a compositional perspective, with emphasis on elements contributing to carbide formation. Pig iron samp
2016 was historic for Colombia since it put an official end to the fifty-two year long armed conflict. The peace was agreed when the Final Peace Agreement was signed by the two major actors, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias and the Colombian Government. This research aims to investigate how female victims-survivors of the armed conflict in Colombia are influencing peacebuilding. The investigation f
The functional decline of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) with age is a well-documented phenomenon, associated with various health complications, including anemia, impaired immune responses, and chronic inflammation. This dysfunction can contribute to the onset of hematological disorders such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML
