Background Supply Chain Management is becoming increasingly more important to organizations in the post Covid-19 era. Managing Supply Chains is also moving towards finding data-oriented ways of working, and companies are making substantial investments in getting digital information systems to integrate with their ways of working. Simultaneously, Artificial Intelligence has become a well-discussed
This thesis initially highlights the broader context of tech elites and far-right movements emerging within outer space as political space. The issue that this thesis addresses is how tech elites’ imaginaries tied to outer space not only extend Earth politics but also could challenge society on Earth. The aims are to critically examine how tech elites over time construct the need for outer space t
As Trump's pursuit of Greenland escalated throughout 2025 and into 2026, the Danish government has faced mounting pressure to justify its authority over the territory, both on the international stage and within its domestic sphere. This thesis examines how Danish officials discursively construct and legitimize that authority in response to repeated threats from Trump. Drawing on Fairclough'
The Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 brought an immense destruction to the latter. Hence, the issue of post-war reconstruction is placed in the development agenda. At the same time, the Government of Sweden has stated its commitment to support the post-war efforts in Ukraine, and its interest to involve the private sector in the process. Thus, the justification of the Swedish state r
Abstract This thesis examines how Swedish civil society organizations (CSOs) construct and communicate their role in crisis preparedness through online communication, and what perceived gaps between civil society and the state emerge through this discourse. Drawing on a qualitative digital ethnographic approach, the study analyzes Facebook posts and selected organizational reports from the Swedish
This thesis analyses how the Austrian humanitarian and developmental organisation Hilfswerk International discursively legitimates its involvement in border externalisation and containment practices in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Western Balkans. Whilst previous scholarship has thematised the confluence of humanitarian principles, borderwork, and “migration management”, insufficient attention h
This study examines how customary and statutory land governance systems intersect in shaping land governance outcomes in post-conflict Liberia, with specific focus on Gbarnga City, Bong County. Despite the Land Rights Act of 2018 formally recognizing customary land ownership, significant gaps persist between legal provision and experienced tenure security, particularly for women and customary comm
I detta examensarbete, numeriska simuleringsverktyg- CFD och FEM- användes för att beräkna flödet, temperaturfältet och de termiska deformationerna inuti en maskin för försegling av den vertikala kanten av en kartongförpackning. Arket- förpackningsmaterialet har en U-form- matas in i maskinen- side sealer- där varm luft blåses mot båda kanterna av arket. Syftet är att smälta polymer lagret på kanIn this master’s thesis work, numerical simulation tools- computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element method (FEM)- are used to predict the flow, the temperature field and the deformations within a machine for sealing the vertical seam of a carton package. The blank- the packaging material folded as a U-shape- is fed into the machine- the side sealer- where hot air is blown toward both e
This thesis explores the narrative of the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization in Cairo and seeks to expose the underlying nationalist ideology of the Egyptian state. Through observations of the museums curated content, the thesis employes the tools of narrative analysis to uncover the specific conception of the nation that the state seeks to promote. Understanding the museum as an ideolo
Although there is continuous investment in active labour market policies, the fundamental principles behind publicly funded activation programmes remain poorly mapped. This thesis addresses the gap by developing and applying a theory-driven, dictionary-based computational classification instrument to the full corpus of final project reports from the European Social Fund Programme Area 2 in Sweden,
Byggsektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges resursförbrukning och klimatpåverkan, vilket gör omställningen till en cirkulär ekonomi central för att nå miljö- och klimatmål. Arkitekten har en nyckelroll i denna omställning eftersom många avgörande beslut om materialval, bevarande och byggnaders livscykel fattas i de tidiga projektskeden. Samtidigt är det oklart hur arkitekter i Sverige faktThe construction sector in Sweden accounts for a significant share of resource use and climate impact, making circular economy a key strategy for reducing waste and achieving sustainability goals. This thesis investigates swedish architects and their role in promoting circular construction in Sweden, focusing on strategies, barriers, and opportunities. The study applies a qualitative method based
This study explores how young adults at a Swedish university, born in Sweden with two foreign born parents, experience and understand their identity and sense of belonging in relation to ideas of Swedishness. The study also explores how these experiences influence their self-image, everyday experiences, and perceptions and exclusion, particularly within higher education and future working life. Th
In Swedish public healthcare, assisted reproductive treatment is financed for healthcare seekers who cannot achieve spontaneous fertilization. To be granted treatment, applicants are required to be approved in a suitability assessment. This study examines how suitability is constructed within the assessment, how individuals navigate the obstacles they encounter in being evaluated as suitable, and
Environmental non governmental organizations play an influential role as developers of policy regarding climate change, communicators of climate change and environmental science as well as opinion makers among the population. This happens to a great extent on the social media Facebook. How NGOs frame climate change and environmental issues on Facebook is therefore important to investigate and thi
Digitala FAQ-guider har blivit en central del av organisationers kundkommunikation. Kunder förväntas i allt större utsträckning lösa problem och navigera information självständigt utan direkt mänsklig interaktion. Tidigare forskning har främst förstått FAQ som tekniska informationssystem och självbetjäningslösningar, medan deras kommunikativa och strategiska dimensioner har fått begränsad vetenska
Crisis communication research has often assumed that crises, actors, and responsibility can be identified with sufficient clarity to guide the selection of an appropriate response strategy. This study examines what happens when those conditions are less certain, when high-status individuals face reputational damage not through direct wrongdoing, but through contested and publicly constructed assoc
I digitala mediemiljöer har visuella symboler fått en allt större betydelse i skapandet och omförhandlingen av kulturell mening, identitet och tillhörighet. Mot denna bakgrund undersöker uppsatsen hur symboler kopplade till svenskhet omformas genom visuella kollisioner i digital kommunikation, med den svenska konstnären Lojen Arts visuella uttryck på Instagram som analytiskt exempel. Studien byggeIn digital media environments, visual symbols have taken on increasing significance in the creation and renegotiation of cultural meaning, identity, and belonging. Against this backdrop, this thesis examines how symbols associated with Swedishness are reshaped through visual collisions in digital communication, using the Swedish artist Lojen Art’s visual expressions on Instagram as an analytical c
This thesis examines Ataa, a contemporary Syrian children’s magazine produced by ATAA Humanitarian Relief Association, through six consecutive issues published between June 2024 and September 2025. It asks how the magazine stages adult authority, constructs an implied child reader, normalises an ideal child, justifies norms, and offers frames of belonging around the politically significant period
The study examines the influence exerted by the UNRWA funding system - largely based on voluntary contributions from donor states - on the negotiation of Palestinian identity within schools located in refugee camps in Jordan. By conducting interviews with eight former students of UNRWA schools in the camps, and integrating the resulting data with field observations and analyses of United Nations d
This study examines the defense modernization efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Vision 2030, together with the institutional architecture of GAMI and SAMI, sets an ambitious target of 50% defense localization by 2030. While official reports assert steady progress in upstream industrial capabilities, this study asks whether these efforts have been as successful as claimed. The research
