Autonomous systems, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are continuously integrated into our everyday lives. Accompanying this trend is a renewed distrust and concern that technological development may outpace creator control with deleterious results for society. The trustworthiness of the systems and the organisations that operate them is gaining greater attention in public discourse, m

Denna C-uppsats har till syfte att undersöka hur Sveriges rörliga växelkurs har påverkat landets återhämtning i samband med ekonomiska kriser. En jämförelse har gjorts med våra grannländer Danmark och Finland, som till skillnad från Sverige har en fast växelkurs mot euron. I studien jämförs ländernas utveckling utifrån ett antal ekonomiska variabler under perioderna efter tre stora ekonomiska kris

Som en del av EU:s gröna omställning har det vid årsskiftet till 2023 införts inledande krav i en energitaxonomi på företag som tillhandahåller finansiella tjänster, däribland fastighetsföretag. Företagens investeringar ska nu klassas som hållbara eller icke hållbara. Ytterligare en del i EU:s gröna omställning är att unionens befintliga bestånd får nya energieffektiviseringskrav. Som en lösning pAs a part of the Green Deal within the EU, as of the start of 2023, new demands have been put in place in an energy taxonomy on companies providing financial services, a category in which real estate companies are included. The investments of these companies are now to be classified as sustainable or not sustainable. Another part of the shift towards sustainability within the EU is that the existi

Abstract Tunnels are one of the most complex and delicate elements of the road system. Assessing fire behaviour and fire severity remains the biggest source of uncertainty in risk assessment and is an essential step in the tunnel design process. This study focuses on investigating the reliability and accuracy of different available tools to describe tunnel fire dynamics, with a focus on assessing

Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American

Syftet med denna undersökning är att utforska hur medvetenhet och internutbildning påverkar hur anställda arbetar med informationssäkerhet i en organisation inom fordonsindustrin. Genom en litteraturgenomgång lades en teoretisk grund där faktorer som ökad medvetenhet och utbildning definieras. Studien genomfördes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer för att samla in data från anställda inom organisa

I dagens samhälle finns en allt större press på varumärken att stå ut ur mediebruset samt att kommunicera kring hållbarhet och CSR. Detta gör brandingstrategier högst nödvändiga, trots detta är det ännu ett relativt outforskat område inom marknadsföring av evenemang. Tidigare forskning visar på studier baserade på konsumentens perspektiv samt under tiden av det faktiska evenemanget. Däremot är forIn today’s society, brands face pressure to stand out and to communicate about sustainability and CSR efforts. This makes branding strategies necessary, yet it is a rather unexplored area within marketing of events. Previous research of events shows studies from the consumer’s perspective based on when the event takes place. However, less focus is put on how event brands engage the audience before

This thesis examines the encounter between young women and the Swedish Armed Forces, with emphasis on three marketing campaigns whose aim is to attract young women to the male dominated authority. Primarily, this thesis focuses on how young women negotiate their willingness to take part in the Swedish Armed Forces. This is done by investigating what stereotypes young women have about the authority

Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around Harnessing Microalgae: Transforming Wastewater into Valuable Pigments Innovative solutions are constantly sought to address the challenges of wastewater treatment and the increasing demand for sustainable products. One promising approach involves utilizing microalgae in a biorefinery system that not only cleans wastewater but also extracts valuable pigments from the biomass. This concept presents

The NGO role in providing aid and internal/external impacts that are occurring during the process are central pillars in analysing the development objective and Sustainable Development Goals for the future. The challenges that the NGOs face during aid processes are not solely dependent on singular sources and rather require complex, and multi-faced approaches. Previous studies emphasise NGO involv

Purpose The main purpose of this research is to get a deeper understanding on how individuals in the newfound position of Happiness Manager (HM) and related titles navigate their roles with limited prior understanding or guidance given by organizations. This study will investigate the different factors that influence their understanding of the role and how they construct and maintain their profess

Corporate default poses significant risks to investors and stakeholders, highlighting the importance of predicting and managing financial risk effectively. When the geographical scope is narrowed down to China, the unique characteristics of the Chinese market, such as the lack of comprehensive credit risk databases and the influence of state-owned enterprises and small-medium enterprises, present

Eighteen of twenty-five rescue-vessels operated by NGOs in the Mediterranean has been subjected to administrative or criminal sanctions. Whether rescue amounts to a crime is the basis for this thesis, which examines the intersection between prevention of the transnational crime of smuggling, and the rescues often necessary when smugglers facilitate journeys across the sea. Assistance at sea is rev

The rise of global social media platforms has offered civilians opportunities to share information through the use of visuals and text independently. The internet and technological advancements have thereby played an essential role in enabling individuals to share their perspectives and contribute their content to broader audiences. As a consequence of the Iranian revolution, triggered by the exec

This thesis explores the impact of financialization on university students in Bologna, Italy, who are now facing a housing shortage. The popular university city is currently undergoing a severe housing crisis, presenting significant challenges for students seeking accessible and affordable accommodation. This study aims to understand how financialization exacerbates the housing crisis for Bologna&

The advancement of CMOS technology has been fueled by the need to satisfy Moore’s law by shrinking transistors to progressively smaller sizes and increasing the transistor density per unit area [1]. The dimension of the state-of-the-art MOSFET is now down to a few nanometers. However, with continued device scaling, the performance of Integrated Chips (ICs) starts to deteriorate, making it essentia
