Purpose: The purpose of our work is to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of “quiet quitting”. We aim to challenge its various manifestations and question the existing diversity in definitions by examining different work behaviours of quiet quitting. In addition, we examine the reasons, while paying particular attention to the supervisor-subordinate relationship. Methodology: This study
The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. The study presents a suitability analysis using GIS to find potential locations for blue-mussel farm establishment, and the outcome was produced as maps. A mul
Human shields have been increasingly documented in contemporary theatres of war. In this context, it is interesting to examine the circumstances in which the attacking party classifies the civilians they face as human shields. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the use of the classification of human shields by belligerents facing civilians during armed conflicts. The paper sets forth the argument t
The effect that organic solvents have on the environment and the intrinsic risk that come with using them should be limited. By replacing organic solvents with less harmful solvents, such as water, and with more effective catalysts can risks intrinsic to organic solvents be minimized or eliminated. The focus of this project is testing if Michael addition using transition metal salt catalysts with
This research paper examines the European Union's merger control regime and its efficacy in addressing the killer acquisitions by big tech firms in the fast-evolving digital sphere. It investigates the legal framework, competition policy objectives, and more importantly the impact of the digital sector on EU competition policy. Furthermore, it critically analyses the killer acquisitions by
Four pincer-ligated iridium complexes, 1-4, featuring substituents with different electronic properties on meta and para positions on the aromatic backbone were synthesized for the purpose of comparing their efficiency as catalysts in the acceptorless dehydrogenation of 1-phenylethanol. Previous studies have already revealed that turnover frequencies were higher in more dilute catalyst solutions,
Bakgrund Andelen tonåringar som tidigt specialiserar sig inom en idrott ökar. Denna specialisering medför ofta en ökad träningsvolym med hopp om att bli bättre än sina motståndare. En ökad träningsvolym kan innebära en ökad skaderisk. Frågan är om teorin att den som tränar mest vinner mest stämmer i praktiken. Vad innebär höga träningsvolymer för tonåringar och vad resulterar det i? Syfte/frågestä
Bakgrund: Knäleden stabiliseras av flera ligamentösa och muskulära strukturer. Vid skador på främre korsbandet (ACL) påverkas denna stabilitet, vilket är särskilt problematiskt för unga idrottare där knäleden utsätts för större krav. Korsbandsskador kan leda till nedsatt funktion, smärta och lägre livskvalitet, samt ökad rädsla för återgång till idrott. Rekonstruktion av ACL (ACLR) är en vanlig be
Bakgrund: Nackbesvär förekommer i många yrkesgrupper där arbetet innebär ergonomiskt belastande arbetsmoment såsom statiska eller ansträngande kroppsställningar. Truckförare är en yrkesgrupp där arbetsmomenten ofta innebär upprepade rörelser eller påfrestande positioner, men kunskapsläget om just truckförare är begränsat. För att bättre förstå hur vanligt nackbesvär är i denna grupp behövs studier
Bakgrund: Inom fysioterapi sker en ständig metodutveckling, där gamla metoder fasas ut och nya tillkommer. En ny behandlingsmetod är MediYoga. Yoga har idag blivit en allt mer välkänd träningsform. MediYoga är en yogaform som är framtagen för att användas i hälso- och sjukvården och kan ge goda effekter mot stress och ångest. Swedish Institute Medical Yoga (SIMY) har tagit fram ett nytt ramverk, M
Bakgrund: Främre korsbandsrupturer (ACL-rupturer) är vanliga inom många idrotter. Trots rehabilitering kvarstår ofta förändrade rörelsemönster och en betydande andel av idrottare drabbas av återfallsskador efter återgång till idrott. Beslut om återgång baseras ofta på symmetri mellan benen i exempelvis styrka och hoppfunktion. Samtidigt saknas riktlinjer för konditionsutvärdering, trots att kondit
Bakgrund Fotledsstukningar är den vanligaste skadan inom basket och kan leda till bestående funktionsnedsättningar samt rädsla för återkommande skada. Syfte Syftet med studien var att undersöka funktionella skillnader mellan den skadade och den oskadade foten. Studien syftade även till att utvärdera självrapporterad funktion och rädsla för återgång till aktivitet bland basketspelare som drabbats a
This thesis investigates how the experience of founding a youth-led social-innovation project can enhance young people’s agency for sustainable development, through a qualitative single-case study of Ashoka Belgium’s 2023 Youth for Change (Y4C) programme. Grounded in a social-constructivist, abductive logic, the study uses semi-structured interviews and mobilises three strands of scholarship—Socia
This research assesses the relationship between rainfall spatial distribution and levee failure risks by scouring at the confluence of the Chikugo River mainstream and Kusu River. Using d4PDF large climate ensembles (10,140 years of data), the study integrated a Rainfall-Runoff-Inundation (RRI) model with iRIC Nays 2DH for 2D hydro-morphodynamic analysis.The ensembles were categorized into three g
It is apparent that climate change is progressing, increasing the frequency of heavy rainfall events. In coastal areas, halocline formation caused by increased freshwater inflow can inhibit vertical mixing, reducing oxygen concentration in the bottom layer. The Ariake Sea, an inner bay in Japan with a large tidal range, has faced serious issues such as red tides and hypoxia. Previous studies
Medical image segmentation often relies either on traditional image processing methods, which can be limited in their ability to handle complex image characteristics, or on deep learning approaches, which require large amounts of high-quality annotated data. Hybrid methods that combine these two paradigms offer a potential way to reduce annotation requirements while maintaining strong segmentation
On the 28th of October 2025, Category 5 Hurricane Melissa made landfall in Jamaica. This thesis examines how it was experienced, narrated, and acted upon in Accompong, a sovereign Indigenous Maroon polity in Cockpit Country. Based on six weeks of ethnographic fieldwork (14 November–23 December 2025), we follow Melissa as an unfolding process rather than a bounded event. Guided by political ecology
Accurate calibration is essential for reliable polarimetric measurements in frequency-domain terahertz ellipsometry. In this thesis, we investigate how different sets of calibration samples influence the quality of the extracted 4×4 Mueller matrix in an in-house built terahertz Mueller Matrix Ellipsometer operating in the 170-250 GHz range. Three calibration sets composed of various combinations o
This thesis examines the practices and importance of the “care-tree” (vårdträd) for human-nature relations in Sweden during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The “care-tree” have a long history of use, are entwined with supernatural beliefs, and are said to reflect the well-being and luckiness of the yard where it’s planted. Using theories of social control, non-human agencies and the dwelling pe
The growing accumulation and mismanagement of waste disrupt the ecological systems that sustain human existence, leaving environmental burdens for future generations. This situation highlights the need for circular approaches such as zero-waste management, where waste is treated as a resource rather than discarded. Studying social waste relations in Sweden is particularly relevant, given the count
