Electronic Health Records (EHRs) are central to the digital transformation of healthcare and are intended to support coordination, documentation, and access to patient information across healthcare settings. However, technical interoperability does not necessarily mean that exchanged information is usable in clinical work. This thesis examines how healthcare professionals experience the interopera
As data generation accelerates globally, organizations accumulate vast amounts of unused information, commonly referred to as dark data. While dark data is widely recognized as holding potential decision value, it persistently remains inaccessible, revealing a paradox between perceived importance and practical neglect. This study examines how organizations in Sweden make dark data accessible for d
Bakgrund På grund av den rådande klimatkrisen måste Sverige göra omfattande klimatanpassningar för att skydda sig mot kommande och nuvarande effekter av klimatförändringarna. Ansvaret för arbetet tillfaller för det mesta Sveriges kommuner genom bland annat planmonopolet. Kommunerna kan söka finansiering för dessa typer av åtgärder genom matchade statsbidrag. Däremot är bidragsprocessen för de svenIn response to growing risks associated with climate change, Sweden must address the need for climate change adaptations. A central actor in addressing this is Swedish municipalities, due to their local planning monopoly and their ability to identify risks associated with local geographical conditions. However, studies have shown that there are several obstacles within the process of adapting to c
As the need to limit the effect of climate change gets stronger, the transition to sustainable energy solutions becomes very important. Solar thermal energy and green hydrogen production represent two quite promising sustainable fields towards decarbonizing industrial processes and energy sectors. This thesis presents an extensive simulation and performance analysis of a solar thermal energy syste
Malaria remains a major public health concern in Sudan, where transmission is influenced by climate variability, environmental conditions, population displacement, conflict, and disruptions to healthcare services. Using ERA5 climate data, a Climate Suitability Index (CSI) was developed to evaluate the climatic suitability for Plasmodium falciparum transmission in Sudan between 2000 and 2024. Annua
This Master’s thesis in Library and Information Science examines, using critical discourse analysis as both theory and method, the discourse surrounding the Swe-dish Library Act. The study is based on an analysis of the two Swedish library journals Biblioteksbladet and Tidskriften bis, and explores how the role and re-sponsibilities of libraries are constructed within professional discourse. Drawi
In this thesis, I examine the datafication of football through the lens of document theory. From this perspective, I view data as necessarily material, social and cognitive. The aim of the thesis is to (1) increase the understanding of how the intensified quantification of sport shapes fans’ interaction with it and (2) to bridge a gap between document theory, as a part of library and information s
The academic librarian’s mission of facilitating free access to knowledge has endured even as forms of librarianship have evolved. Since the introduction of the internet and the subsequent shift from physical to digital knowledge dissemination, additional ethical and practical considerations have emerged. One such consideration is the existence of black open access and shadow libraries, born out o
On November 26, 2025, a fire broke out at Wang Fuk Court, a densely populated residential complex in Tai Po, Hong Kong, eventually claiming 168 lives. As official emergency systems were overwhelmed, volunteers created a parallel digital coordination effort of remarkable scale: a Google Spreadsheet listing residents and pets, a Telegram group of over 18,000 members maintaining text-format missing p
Denna studie analyserar upplevelser och erfarenheter av tillgänglighet och möjligheten till delaktighet på olika former av mötesplatser för personer med neuropsykiatriska funktionshinder. Analysen har haft sin utgångspunkt i Axel Honneths teori om erkännande för att belysa aspekter av möjligheter och förklaringar som ligger utanför individen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats och har gjorts genom å
Sverige står inför rättsliga utmaningar i takt med en växande gängkriminalitet där allt yngre barn rekryteras för att utföra brott kopplade till narkotika, vapen och våld. Således förväntas en sänkt straffbarhetsålder, från 15 år till 13 år, träda i kraft i juli 2026, vilket innebär att fler minderåriga kommer häktas. Studien syftar till att undersöka hur kriminalvårdare, utifrån sitt handlingsutr
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are man-made, highly persistent and mobile compounds that have been extensively used in decades, for example as a fire repellent in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They have been detected in soil, surface water and groundwater, where they pose risks to human health through contamination of drinking water supplies and to ecosystems. In this case study, PFAS spread
The role of diversity for the stability of ecosystems is a field traditionally focused on species diversity, rather than diversity within species. This study concerns the latter by investigating the spatial and temporal synchrony and abundance trends within the metapopulation of anadromous sea trout (Salmo trutta) in Scania, Sweden, that are brought up in different nursey streams but share the sam
This thesis studies the pricing of overnight indexed swap (OIS) caps using a one-factor CIR++ short-rate model with piecewise constant volatility. The model combines a CIR process with a deterministic shift, allowing an exact fit to the initial zero-coupon term structure and thereby enabling the remaining CIR parameters to be calibrated to other market instruments. OIS caplets are priced using Lap
Studien ämnar undersöka hur konspirationsteorier konstrueras, omformas och upprätthålls genom interaktioner på onlineforumet Reddit med inriktning på diskursen kring Jeffrey Epstein. Vidare är syftet att undersöka hur konspirationsteorier interaktionellt utvecklas genom plattformens användare. Studien utgår från ett interaktionistiskt och kunskapssociologiskt perspektiv där konspirationsteorier fö
Medan autonom AI och AI-agenter inte är en ny idé är dess konsekvenser på längre sikt okända utifrån påverkan på företag och människors arbete. Trots framtidens inbyggda osäkerhet ökar trycket på företagsledare att redan idag besluta om AI-investeringar samtidigt som ledande narrativ inom ämnet ofta har en utopisk eller dystopisk lutning. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera hur AI-agenter pre
Peptide therapeutics offer advantages in specificity and affinity, yet the potential propensity to self-associate and aggregate poses a challenge for the development of stable oral formulations. This master’s thesis evaluates the utility of the fluorescent dye Thioflavin T as a structural probe to monitor the aggregation of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, specifically Liraglutide and Se
Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva
Monitoring insect populations and diversity are important to assess ecosystem health. Traditional trapping and manual identification methods are slow and labor-intensive. Entomological lidar offers an automated alternative for monitoring insects in flight, but classifying species remains a challenge. Building empirical databases through catch-and-release methods is impractical due to the enormous
Betong är ett mycket vanligt förekommande byggmaterial som har flera styrkor, men också några svagheter. En av de väsentligaste svagheterna är de betydande koldioxidutsläpp som uppstår vid tillverkningen av det nödvändiga bindemedlet portlandcement. Att ersätta delar av portlandcementet med alternativa bindemedel är den mest effektiva och snabbaste insatsen för att minska betongens klimatpåverConcrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, offering several advantages but also presenting certain limitations. One of its most significant drawbacks is the substantial carbon dioxide emissions associated with the production of Portland cement, the essential binder in concrete. Replacing portions of Portland cement with alternative binders is considered the most effective
