This thesis investigates how women's suit trousers from different price ranges differ in terms of durability, construction, and materials and discusses which pair of trousers has the longest lifespan. The study is grounded in theories of class, consumption, and luxury, and explores the concept of quality and longevity. By combining theoretical perspectives with a six-step object analysis, thre
This bachelor's thesis examines how the Swedish low-price company Lager 157 communicates feminist and sustainability-related messages through a campaign launched in connection with the International Women's Day 2025. The campaign offered T-shirts for eight SEK to celebrate women, which sparked strong criticism in the media. The aim of the study is to analyze how the company performs its br
This bachelor has examined how the birkin bag is represented in the television series Sex and the city and Gilmore girls, the reality show The real housewives of Beverly Hills and in a Youtube video from Kylie Jenner. Therefore this essay's purpose is to identify how the birkin bag is represented and which social interactions are therefore being made through all four videos. This essay also ai
The digitalisation and introduction of social media is a factor that today affects children’s lives a lot. So called “kidfluencers” are a phenomenon that is booming and that is becoming more and more frequent. The aim of this essay is to look into the impact that social media and “kidfluencers” may have on children in Sweden today. An interview study has been done, in which parents and educators
The brand Carhartt WIP has been working with establishing their brand image through social media that includes several collections with famous skate companies and posts including famous skaters from their team. Their clothing consisting of big silhouettes and good quality has been valued by the skate - community. Therefore this essay studies how Carhartt WIP is contributing to identity and what bo
In an increasingly satiated fashion market where products often resemble each other, storytelling has emerged as a key strategy for differentiation, emotional engagement and brand loyalty. This thesis explores how storytelling is used as a strategic tool in brand building within the fashion industry, using the Swedish premium rand ATP Atelier as a case study. Through a qualitative research approac
Utländska företag är skattskyldiga i Sverige för inkomst från ett fast driftställe, vilket framgår av 6 kap. 11 § första stycket 1 p. IL och av de dubbelbeskattningsavtal som Sverige har slutit med andra stater. Närmare bestämmelser om hur inkomster ska hänföras till ett fast driftställe saknas emellertid i svensk rätt. Enligt OECD:s modellavtal, som ligger till grund för Sveriges dubbelbeskattninForeign companies are subject to tax in Sweden on income attributable to a permanent establishment, as follows from Chapter 6, Section 11, first paragraph, point 1 of the Income Tax Act (inkomstskattelagen) and from the double taxation treaties concluded by Sweden with other states. However, Swedish tax law lacks detailed provisions on how income is to be attributed to a permanent establishment. U
Denna studie undersöker hur misstag ges mening i det dagliga arbetet inom IKEA, i spänningsfältet mellan utvecklingsideal och effektivitetskrav. Studien bygger på åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med medarbetare och chefer inom IKEA (Ingka Group), inklusive koncernens VD Jesper Brodin. Intervjuerna analyserades med en abduktiv ansats utifrån ett tolkande och socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv.
Människokroppen utsätts ständigt för mikroorganismer som kan orsaka sjukdom. Kroppen har ett immunförsvar som till stor del bygger på små molekyler och kemiska processer för att skydda oss. Antimikrobiella peptider är en viktig del av detta försvar och är små proteiner som kan angripa och oskadliggöra dessa mikroorganismer. Antibiotika har länge varit viktiga för att behandla bakteriella infektionAntimicrobial peptides are of interest as potential alternatives to conventional antibiotics. One ex- ample is melittin, a cationic and amphipathic peptide with strong interactions with lipid membranes. This project studies the structure and behavior of melittin in bulk solution and at lipid membranes of different charges using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations and an explicit water model.
As debates about migration increase across Europe, the questions of integration and belonging increase in urgency. This chapter explores the evolving integration landscape in Sweden through the experiences of immigrant youth. It traces the shift from a humanitarian, universalist welfare model to a conditional system where inclusion depends on cultural conformity, economic productivity and individuAs debates about migration increase across Europe, the questions of integration and belonging increase in urgency.

Time-frequency decomposition is a well-established method to unmix signals generated by multiple sources with unique characteristics. However, there are cases of high signal complexity where existing time-frequency decomposition tools are insufficient for localizing and representing short-bursting signals. One example is the currently highly popular extracellular low-impedance recordings from mult
System co-sensitization and extension of the π-conjugated system are recognized as two key strategies for improving the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this study, density functional theory (DFT) was employed to simulate two experimentally synthesized molecules, RK1 and D205, and to evaluate the performance of their co-sensitization system. Furthermore, molecular design was c
Altermagnets are a class of magnetic materials that exhibit unconventional transport properties, such as an anomalous Hall effect (AHE), despite having compensated sublattice magnetic moments. In this study, fundamental experimental evidence of the altermagnetic nature of hematite (α-Fe2O3), is reported combining electrical transport with advanced X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM) im
The expansion of the electric vehicle industry is driving increased demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), which in turn creates challenges in material availability and waste management that more durable LIBs could address. Electrode surface coating helps extend LIB lifespan, with atomic layered deposition (ALD) as the preferred method due to its precise thickness control and ability to coat var
Fencing to exclude livestock is one of the effective strategies to passively reshape grassland ecosystem function, yet the dynamics of microbial community construction and their functional traits during restoration remain poorly understood. This study systematically sampled from various microhabitats (phyllosphere, litter, soil) within long-term fenced restoration areas, as well as areas with pers
Physical exercise can play an important role both in primary and secondary cardiovascular disease prevention by virtue of its multisystem effects. These beneficial adaptations at the whole-body level include improvements in mitochondrial health, vascular function, and autonomic balance, together with attenuation of inflammation and the release of ‘exerkines’ with pleiotropic effects. Thus, several
Organic pollutants in aquatic environments pose a threat to ecosystems and human health, a challenge that requires urgent resolution. This urgent threat highlights the need for the development of efficient technologies for pollutant detection and degradation in environmental protection. This study presents the successful fabrication of a composite nanomaterial consisting of Ag nanoparticle-decorat
Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common disorder of gut-brain interaction and associated with overweight. Low content of fermentable oligo-, di-, and monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAP) and a starch- and sucrose-reduced diet (SSRD) alleviate IBS symptoms, but restrictive diets may lead to malnutrition. The aim of the present clinical trial was to randomize IBS patients to eit
