This paper aims to analyse the oral communication patterns amongst upper secondary school students within the subject of math. To this end, Mohan’s Knowledge Framework (1986) has been utilised, which seeks to sort knowledge into six different categories: three practical and three theoretical. The data collection consisted of observations made from lessons where the students solved math problems in

Den rättspsykologiska förhörsforskningen har mycket att erbjuda operativ underrättelseverksamhet vad gäller evidensbaserade förhörsmetoder vid informationsinsamling från mänskliga källor - HUMINT. Samtidigt finns ett dialogmässigt glapp dem emellan. Förhörsforskningen bygger till största del på paradigm med brottsutredning som utgångspunkt, vilket innebär att aspekter såsom hur kontexten påverkar

This study aims to deepen the understanding of how individuals within Generation Z perceive Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in relation to employer branding. While previous employer branding research has often portrayed Generation Z as a homogeneous and value-driven target group, more recent reports suggest significant internal variation. Through 20 qualitative interviews with young adults i
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Antalet tillmatningar med formula på Sveriges BB avdelningar är höga, 20-40% med ett medeltal på 30% i landet. Att tillmata det ammande barnet med formula på icke-medicinska indikationer ska undvikas enligt de riktlinjer som finns, trots det tillmatas friska fullgångna barn på icke-medicinsk indikation på BB. Det finns evidens för att tillmatning med formula på sjukhuset har st
This thesis explores how teachers experience safety within their workplace and how school administration actions shape those experiences. The investigation examines how teachers interpret and operationalize the provisions of chapter 5 of the Swedish Education Act (SFS 2010:800) revealing the tensions between the law and the complex realities of school practice. Data collected through a survey of
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a promising architecture for improving the accuracy and contextual relevance of large language models, particularly in high-stakes domains such as the financial sector. This thesis explores how Scandinavian financial institutions perceive and address the security risks associated with RAG systems. Guided by the CIAAN framework (Confidentiality, I
This thesis investigates why tariffs, once the backbone of U.S. federal revenue, cannot replace income taxes as the primary revenue source in the modern American economy. Using a systematic literature review and secondary data analysis approach, the study contrasts the structural conditions of the pre-1913 tariff regime, characterized by a goods-dominated economy and minimal federal spending, with
Despite the widespread implementation of women’s empowerment initiatives, research on how women understand and experience empowerment in their cultural and social contexts remains limited. With this gap especially evident in sub-Saharan Africa, where empowerment initiatives are common yet context-sensitive research remains limited, the present analysis critically examines how women involved in an
This study focuses on exploring the interplay of different trust types (cognitive, emotional and organizational) as HR professionals adopt and use AI chatbot to enhance their efficiency in their work. The aim is to understand their lived experience and interaction with AI chatbot and identify influencing factors and barriers in the early adoption that shapes human-AI trust within the organizationa
I samband med utbildning inom digitala verktyg samt VFU kopplat till EDI väcktes intresse att undersöka vilka kunskaper som behövs för att undervisa i dator som instrument samt vad som ingår inom InSå-undervisning för en EDI:st på estetiska programmet. Detta resulterade i tre forskningsfrågor relaterade till EDI-undervisning på gymnasieskola: (i) Vilka ämneskunskaper inom EDI anser EDI-lärare behöIn relation with education regarding digital tools as well as internships related to EDI an interest was developed in researching what subject knowledge is needed in teaching this instrument, as well as what teachers incorporate in their instrument lessons on a high school level. Three research questions emerged from this in relation to primary instrument teachings on a high school level: (i) What
This study explores how employees make sense of sustainability efforts within a for-profit organization producing single-use products, focusing on the Scandinavian company Ecolette. Drawing on CSR-related literature, including Basu and Palazzo’s (2008) CSR Process Framework, micro-CSR, Social Identity Theory (SIT), organizational identity, and cynicism, the study provides a nuanced understanding o
This thesis examines the differing tax treatment of carried interest in Europe, focusing on Germany, the United Kingdom, and Sweden. Carried interest is a special profit-sharing mechanism commonly used in private equity funds, whereby the executives are awarded a capital disproportional share of the profits. Due to its dual nature, blending elements of both capital gains and service compensation,
Fire safety design for complex buildings often relies on the Performance-based Design approach which assesses the margin of safety by comparing Available Safe Egress Time with Required Safe Egress Time. However, most current modelling tools often operate independently or at most with one-way coupling. This potentially reduces the accuracy of fire safety assessments by failing to capture dynamic in
As mass timber construction gains momentum worldwide, cross-laminated timber (CLT) has emerged as an important material in the built environment. However, the combustible nature of wood presents challenges and fire safety concerns, and a key interest with respect to CLT is the adhesive bond line. CLT is commonly used in ceiling configuration, and current fire stability evaluations rely predominant
Deep neural networks have been increasingly used in various scientific fields due to their versatility and high performance. Despite achieving high classification accuracy, deep learning models can be poorly calibrated, assigning overly confident probabilities to incorrect predictions. This overconfidence highlights the absence of built-in mechanisms for uncertainty quantification. The thesis co
