The governance of Ålakusten’s eel fishery reveals a growing tension between species conservation and the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage. Using a qualitative case study design, this thesis combines a social-ecological systems analysis of policy documents with a critical heritage studies analysis of oral histories and an expert interview to examine how eel fishing is governed and repre
Följande studie handlar om folkmusiklärares perspektiv på sin yrkesroll och utförande av undervisningen. Inspirationen bakom detta examensarbete ligger i författarnas delade nyfikenhet kring den pedagogiska aspekten av folkmusikutövande i Sverige och vad lärarrollen innebär. I studien undersöks lärarens roll och yrkesutövande i relation till identitet och musikerskap, didaktiska metoder, tradition
The documented adverse effects of climate change have led to national and international efforts to reduce global carbon emissions during recent decades. Significant decarbonisation requires not only a reduction in the production and use of fossil fuels, but a transformation of the entire energy system itself, transitioning away from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. This large-scale transi
Reproducing the spatial acoustics of a room is key to the feeling of spatiality of audio in headphones, with applications in, for example, cultural preservation. The propagation of sound between a point source and a receiver in a room is commonly modelled as a linear time-invariant system, where its room impulse response fully models how sound propagates. By combining the room impulse response and
Wildfire management is a complex sociotechnical system where enterprise and strategic level decisions significantly impact operational safety. This research explores iterating Rasmussen’s AcciMap through participatory co-design to enhance sensemaking and systems thinking in the U.S. Forest Service. An evolving series of AcciMap-inspired visualizations made from the Eicks Fire Organizational Report
Osteoarthritis is a multifactorial degenerative disease characterized by the breakdown of articular cartilage (AC), affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Among many treatment options, hydrogels have emerged as promising candidates for cartilage replacement, due to their structural resemblance to the native tissue. Hydrogels can be made from various materials, and this study focuses o
This thesis assesses the efficiency of the EU Law’s balancing act between the software developers’ copyright protection on their respective computer programs and the software users’ right to repair their defected software based devices. This research necessitates an EU legal method, implying the comprehensive analysis of EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
This study examines how Onsen resources and geothermal resource are perceived and governed in Beppu City. Drawing on the concept of common-pool resources and its eight design principles studied by Elinor Ostrom, the research employs semi-structured interviews analyzed through a narrative-informed approach. As result, despite differences in the social and physical perceptions of Onsen and geotherma
Deaf and hard of hearing individuals encounter distinct barriers during building fire evacuations, yet empirical evidence on their evacuation behaviour remains largely absent from the Human Behaviour in Fire literature. This study addresses this gap through a mixed methods approach combining an unannounced evacuation drill conducted at an institution for deaf individuals (N = 21) with semi structu
This thesis examines the interpretation of fundamental breach under Article 25 of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, focusing on judicial divergences between Germany and France in the context of supply-chain disruptions occurring between 2019 and 2025. Article 25 establishes substantial deprivation of contractual expectations as the gateway to avoidance
This thesis investigates the use of the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (UPICC) in the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), with particular attention to their role in interpretation and gap-filling. Rather than focusing solely on theoretical compatibility, the study examines how courts and arbitral tribunals
In paediatric hospital wards, parents or caregivers who are physically capable are already present with their child when a fire emergency occurs. Yet existing approaches to hospital evacuation have either overlooked their potential role or treated them as additional occupants for staff to manage. If these caregivers could evacuate independently with their child, staff could direct their efforts to
Test som mäter begåvning har tidigare varit en grundläggande del av ADHDutredningar i Sverige, men genomförs idag efter indikation, exempelvis på inlärningssvårigheter. Majoriteten av tidigare forskning har undersökt helskalemått av IQ, vilket kan vara missvisande i en ADHD-population. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka gruppskillnader och stabilitet i begåvning mätt med sekundära index från WAssessment methods measuring cognitive ability used to be mandatory in ADHD assessments in Sweden, but is now conducted when indicated, such as in cases of learning difficulties. Previous research has mainly studied Full ScaleIQ, which can be misleading in ADHD populations. The aim of this thesis was to investigate group differences and stability of cognitive ability, using two secondary indexes f
This study investigated the effect of polar lipids from different sources on the in vitro starch digestion rate of bread. Postprandial glycaemic response is strongly influenced by the rate of starch digestion, and polar lipids have been suggested to modulate this process, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Bread was used as a model food matrix, and five types of bread were prepared
Emergency department (ED) wait times can be long, and not all patients can safely wait for treatment. Therefore, an effective emergency triage system is required to prioritize patients according to the urgency of their condition upon arrival at the ED. Assessing a patient’s level of urgency without access to complete physiological measurements is a complex task that is currently performed by nurse
This study aims to make a professional theoretical analysis of social work and the Health Social Workers in primary care. We investigate the background of the profession’s establishment in primary care in the early seventies and describe the changes and developments the profession has gone through up until 2025. We combine elements of hermeneutic and qualitative content analysis to identify and un
Titel: Sångkartan Ämne/område: Hur fungerar sångkartan som redskap i arbetet med klassisk repertoar för sångare? Sångkartan är ett verktyg för att arbeta med instudering av ett vokalt parti, baserad på metoder från Stanislavskijs teatertekniker. Tillvägagångssätt: Jag försöker använda sångkartan på samma sätt som jag gjort under min musikalteaterutbilning, fast nu i min klassiska sångutbildning däTitle: The Songchart The topic of this study: How can the song chart be used as a tool in singers’ work with classical repertoire? The Songchart is a tool to use in the work with interpretation with a vocal part, based on methods by Stanislavsky’s theatre techniques. The methods I used were: I try to use the song chart in the same way as I did during my muscial theatre studies, though now in my cl
Meat consumption is among the leading contributors to diet-related diseases and greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden, while legume consumption remains significantly below dietary recommendations. This study aimed to understand the beliefs, perceptions, and behaviors of adult consumers in Sweden regarding reducing meat consumption and increasing legume intake through a consumer survey. The survey col
This study aimed to examine how counsellors’ work is constructed within adult outpatient psychiatry from the perspective of counsellors, and how organisational and professional factors shape the construction. This was a qualitative study conducted through ten semistructured interviews with counsellors working in adult outpatient psychiatry at different clinics within Region Skåne. Theories concern
