This thesis titled “Constructing Legitimacy Through War Framing” is written by Elin Borgfors Wande, Erik Lindgren and Elis Wennerstrand at the Department of Communication at Lund University. The study is situated within the field of media and communication studies and examines Donald Trump’s framing of the United States-Iran conflict in his Truth Social communication with particular focus on how m
The master’s thesis includes a torsional vibrations analysis of an engine crankshaft and transmission in a hypercar. A torsional model is implemented in order to analyze how excitations produced by the engine affect the vibrational dynamics of the system. This is done by analyzing resonance frequencies and response amplitudes at critical speeds. A frequency-domain driven Python model is built in p
Organisations operating in controversial industries face persistent legitimacy challenges due to the morally controversial nature of their core activities, making communication essential for maintaining stakeholder support and justifying organisational existence. This study examines how BAE Systems constructs legitimacy through corporate communication in its 2025 Annual Report, with particular foc
Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit
Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of sub-wavelength structures often arranged in a periodic lattice. During recent years, metasurfaces have emerged as one of the most promising platforms to shape electromagnetic waves using compact devices, exhibiting extraordinary control over the light amplitude, polarization and phase. Starting with metallic materials, metasurface research has shifted tow
This thesis examines how corporate heritage brands communicate their heritage within immersive digital gaming environments and how such environments shape heritage communication. Through a qualitative multimodal analysis of Burberry's engagement on Roblox and Minecraft, the study explores how heritage is translated through visual, spatial and interactive elements within platform-specific desig
This thesis explores how machine learning can be applied to dynamically set the optimal threshold that determines if a user should be granted Sounding Reference Signals (SRS) resources at cell level. The goal of the thesis is to investigate whether this approach can improve the downlink performance on cell level compared to a static set threshold. Collected network measurements were used to train

This thesis explores the legal uncertainty surrounding the sharing of machine-generated operational data, with a specific focus on data produced by the Integrated Control System (ICS) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). It establishes the basis for a comprehensive data-sharing framework that bridges internal operations with external access rights. To achieve this, the thesis analyses why raw
Utsläpp av lustgas från avloppsreningsverk (ARV) utgör en betydande klimatpåverkan och är starkt kopplade till utökad biologisk kväveavskiljning. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att analysera sambanden mellan processparametrar och lustgasutsläpp vid Klagshamns av-loppsreningsverk samt att undersöka hur datadriven modellering kan användas som stöd för driftoptimering. Inledningsvis genomfördes en
While accessibility in building design is now a widely adopted principle with the industry increasingly adopting inclusive practices, its integration into evacuation provisions remains limited and inconsistently applied across the world. This study examines gaps in evacuation design practices affecting occupants with disabilities through a comparative review of ten building codes and standards, su
While intelligence collection and counterintelligence are traditionally associated with state actors, terrorist organizations engage in similar practices to avoid detection. Despite sophisticated security apparatuses, terrorist organizations have experienced significant intelligence failures. This paper examines what weaknesses in terrorist organizations' security work contribute to such failu
This study investigates how a commercial company constructs discursive legitimacy in a paradoxical communicative context. Patagonia serves as an illustrative case to investigate how the company manages inherent tensions operating as an activist commercial brand. The analysis draws on Vaara et al.’s discursive legitimation theory and Fairclough´s discourse analysis tools to examine how legitimacy i
This essay examines the explanatory power of MICE and Wilder’s framework in relation to the case of the Swedish spy Stig Bergling, by answering the research question to what extent can the MICE model and Wilder’s framework explain Stig Bergling’s espionage?. The study is conducted as a qualitative case study using congruence analysis to explain the explanatory value of two competing theoretical fr
I den offentliga sfärens föränderliga medielandskap ställs ökade krav på organisationers förmåga att kommunicera flexibilitet och legitimitet. Denna studie undersöker hur strategisk improvisation används i extern kommunikation för att skapa legitimitet i relation till en aktuell samhällsdebatt. Studien tar avstamp i Apotek Hjärtats kampanj Den nya 7-stegsrutinen för en starkare självkänsla, som la
Denna studie analyserar hur Swedbanks kriskommunikation förändras under perioden 2017-2023, med fokus på VD-ord i bankens integrerade års- och hållbarhetsredovisningar. Studien undersöker hur dessa förändringar kan förstås i termer av legitimitetskonstruktion genom varumärkesidentitet, image repair-strategier och diskursiva legitimeringsprocesser. Analysen struktureras utifrån tre krisfaser: en fö
Rå biogas är varm, mättad med vatten och innehåller små mängder av korrosiva spårämnen när den lämnar rötkammaren. I detta skick kan gasen inte levereras till uppgraderingsenheten som tar bort koldioxid, vattenånga och andra föroreningar för att leverera biometan som uppfyller fastställda kvalitetskrav. Den höga fuktigheten kombinerat med reaktiva ämnen leder till okontrollerad kondensation och koRaw biogas leaving an anaerobic digester is warm, saturated with water vapor, and contains small amounts of corrosive trace compounds. In this state, the gas cannot be fed directly to an upgrading system, where carbon dioxide, water vapor and other contaminants are removed to produce biomethane that meets a predefined quality. High humidity combined with reactive species promotes uncontrolled cond
Contemporary organisations increasingly face reputational crises, while the multivocal environments in which they operate make both crisis and brand narratives harder to control. This research contributes to the understanding of how contemporary brands navigate communication and branding in relation to crises. This paper adopts perspectives from both crisis communication and brand communication, t
This thesis investigates how Vietnamese students in Germany explain the reasons for their choice to study there. It draws on Bourdieu’s field theory, and analyses data from eight semi-structured interviews. It quickly became apparent that all the students interviewed had specific, pre-existing social and cultural capital related to Germany. In terms of outcomes, all are focussed on gaining a highl
Syfte Studien undersöker hur kulturmiljön under en kulturvärdesrestaurering hanterats, både under projektering och produktion fram till idag. Tyngden i studien ligger på beslut, kommunikation och hantering av olika delar kopplade till kulturmiljön. Med ett mål att kunna lyfta fram vad som gjorts bra och vad som kan förbättras. Frågeställningar • Vilka utmaningar har uppstått i produktionen jämf
