Through the course of this project the reactions of a POPOP-pincer ligand based on a backbone of cyclohexane was studied. It was reacted with different precursors to see what complexes could be formed and if a pincer complex could be used to form a carbene. Previous studies have been carried out on pincer complexes to see if they can act as catalysts for a myriad of different chemical reactions. T
Denna studie tar sin utgångspunkt i Försvarsmaktens visuella rekryteringskampanjer och undersöker hur soldatidentitet skapas genom bild och text. Syftet är att analysera hur soldaten framställs, vilka ideal och egenskaper som lyfts fram, samt vilka värden rollen knyts till.

För att upprätthålla en hälsosam arbetsplatskultur behöver chefer pålitliga insikter från medarbetarfeedback. Grade Pulse är ett HR-verktyg för enkätundersökningar från Talentech som för närvarande förlitar sig på statiska, allmänna förslag som sak- nar team- och enkätspecifik kontext. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur integra- tionen av generativ artificiell intelligens (GenAI) i verktyget kan fTo maintain a healthy workplace culture, managers need trustworthy, actionable in- sights from employee feedback. Grade Pulse is an HR pulse survey tool by Talentech that currently relies on static, generic suggestions that lack team- and survey-specific context. This master’s thesis investigates how integrating Generative Artificial Intel- ligence (GenAI) into the tool can improve suggestions. By
When students share their stories of fear, violence, loneliness, or their futures, the school counsellor is there to serve as a professional support. In these encounters, the role demands a proper balance between empathy and a professional reception where the student’s pain does not heavily affect the counsellor's own wellbeing. This study aimed to examine how Swedish upper-secondary school co

Industrial data from a packaging production process are explored in order to investigate which inter-variable relationships can be derived. In examining the possibility of using data-driven methods to gain further insights into the production process, a number of methodologies were used. Among these were graph-based representations of conditional dependency structures. The framework of mixed graph
This thesis examines the suitability of analytical infrastructure for decision support in organizations with limited dedicated analytics capacity. The study uses an integrated mixed-methods design combining semi-structured interviews with a controlled TPC-H benchmark. The interviews identify organizational requirements, infrastructure and data flows, resource constraints, and priorities shaping ar
Skateholm is an iconic site in Late Mesolithic research. Its numerous human graves and well-preserved cultural layers have provided a wealth of knowledge on prehistoric forager lifeways. However, while several studies have focused on the origins of the interred humans, little is known about land use, hunting grounds, and long-distance relations. To address this, we analysed 12 unmodified teeth and

For some bird species the outermost part of the wings, the feathers can separate from each other and the wing, in such cases each feather must act as an independent aerodynamic unit. In addition to regular function of flight feathers such as colouring and overall aerodynamic and structural capabilities, these separated feathers must withstand the aeroelastic demands on their own using the complex For some bird species the outermost part of the wings, the feathers can separate from each other and the wing, in such cases each feather must act as an independent aerodynamic unit.
