English title: “Upper secondary school students' experiences of resistance against teaching practices in the Swedish subject” The present thesis is part of the research project When School Makes a Difference: Education in the Tension Field Between Vocational and Study-Preparatory Upper Secondary School Programs, in which researchers at the Department of Educational Sciences at Lund University
CCC and DCC are used to estimate the conditional correlation between a non-standard mix of GARCH, GARCH-M and a stochastic volatility model, all assuming Gaussian innovations. After demonstrating the theoretical soundness of this combination, a portfolio of ten assets with diverse return dynamics is constructed. Portfolio performance is evaluated using Value at risk, the Sharpe ratio, maximum draw
This study concludes the characteristics of male friendships and their connection to ideals of masculinity. Existing research tends to focus on younger men and loneliness. The purpose of the study is to understand male relations and the way masculinity affects men in the age of 65-85. The research questions are: How do masculinity ideals and norms affect older men in their social interactions and
The nature room is designed to reflect and portray the surrounding landscape, turning the building into a living mirror of its environment. A facade of reflective glass captures the changing sky, trees, and terrain, creating a strong visual connection between architecture and nature. Inside, rough limestone walls and carved details echo the textures of the local geology, grounding visitors in a sp
Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) is a condition arising when dietary energy intake is insufficient to meet the combined demands of training and normal physiological functions. RED-S negatively impacts bone health, and increases the risk of stress fractures. Yet, its effects on bone matrix organization and overall bone quality is not well understood. Collagen and the osteocyte cells'
This study aims to analyze the impact of digital transformation on internal control of CCB and examine how digital transformation reshapes CCB’s internal control framework (based on the COSO framework) and the challenges the company encounters in digital transformation.This paper adopts agency theory as the theoretical perspective and uses COSO as the main framework.Based on the comprehensive case
The primary objective of this study is to explore the perceptions of three inclusive marketing strategies—racial representation, AI-driven personalization, and unfiltered beauty—on consumer perceptions of brand authenticity and their connections to long-term brand loyalty in the makeup sector. The study aims to gain insight into how the combined application of these strategies shapes the perceived
Context. The adverse effects of interstellar extinction makes the optical range unsuitable for spectroscopic analysis of stellar populations in dust-obscured regions of the Milky Way. With new instruments available, high-quality spectroscopy in the near-infrared (near-IR or NIR) range is now feasible. However, this region of the electromagnetic spectrum is relatively unexplored for the purpose of
This study compares the financial performance of Islamic and conventional banks across the pre-, during-, and post-Covid-19 period from 2018 to 2024. Using the CAMEL framework, a Financial Performance Index (FPI) was developed to evaluate stability and resilience. The results show that Islamic banks consistently achieved higher FPI particularly during and post pandemic, indicating greater overall
An LSTM-based deep learning model, as well as a Lasso and linear regression model, were implemented to try and predict citation counts based on the abstracts. In an attempt to try and model the relationship between the citation count and the abstracts, specifically in the field of chemistry. A comparison between the Lasso model and the deep learning model was done, in order to weigh the interpreta
Mental health issues among Swedish school children are a recurring concern. Although school health teams are legally assigned to primarily work on health promotion and prevention, previous evaluations have found these efforts to be insufficient. Based on our own observations during a school-based internship, we noticed how school nurses and school counselors carry out this work differently. The ai
Syftet med denna studie var att kvalitativt utforska lärares syn på kunskapsbildning och kommunikation om klimatförändringar med elever i Vietnam, ett land med förhöjd klimatrisk. Med utgångspunkt i Hanoi genomfördes åtta (N = 8) semistrukturerade intervjuer med lärare på temat klimatundervisning. Materialet bearbetades sedan i en tematisk analys med abduktiv metod: delvis datadriven, delvis genomThis study qualitatively explored a sample of teachers' climate change conceptualizations and communication with school students in Vietnam, a country with high susceptibility to major climate change-related impacts. Fieldwork was conducted in Hanoi, where eight (N = 8) teachers were interviewed in a semi-structured format, focusing on the topic of climate change education. The material was ex
Miniaturisation of weapons and other tools is a phenomenon seen throughout the Viking Age in Scandinavia. Predominantly using the theory of semiotics, previous publications on miniature weapons have reached similar conclusions as to the functions of these objects. Three main interpretational threads can be seen repeated throughout the previous research; miniature weapons as symbolic objects, minia
The aim of this study was to explore the potential of using existing environmental moni-toring data as a basis for environmental certification of farms within primary agricultural production. Three research questions guided the work: which indicators of agricultural environmental impact can be identified in available monitoring data, which criteria these data must meet to be applicable in a certif
The LVU campaign refers to a wave of criticism and disinformation in Swedish and international media between 2021 and 2024 claiming that Sweden’s social services systematically remove children primarily from Muslim families without legitimate reasons. This study examines how Swedish media constructed stories about the campaign and its key actors. The purpose of this study is to identify central t
The EU Taxonomy is one of the most mature and comprehensive classification systems for sustainable activities. It aims to increase information transparency, reduce corporate greenwashing, and direct capital flows toward environmentally sustainable economic activities. Starting in 2022, companies have been required to disclose the share of their economic activities that align with the Taxonomy. Thi
This study uses McDonald's gender equity theory as its core framework, combined with gender revolution theory, to explore the impact of gender role attitudes on short-term fertility intentions and the moderating role of institutional contexts. Using GGS data from Sweden and Hungary, gender attitude dimensions were extracted through principal component analysis and Varimax rotation. The results
This thesis investigates how members of the Danish Naturalisation Committee navigate, exer-cise, and justify their discretionary power in exemption cases, and what this reveal about the intersection of law, politics, and affect in the governance of citizenship. While most countries treat naturalisation as an administrative procedure, Denmark stands out: citizenship is granted by parliamentary law,
Fairy tales have long captivated audiences with their timeless narratives and symbolic depth. Inspired by these stories, this thesis explores how the abstract concepts embedded within fairy tales can be translated into tangible, functional designs. While constructing a narrative may seem straightforward, the real challenge lies in transforming these intangible ideas into physical objects that not
