Although venture creation programs (VCPs) are becoming increasingly popular within entrepreneurship education, still little is known about how effective these programs actually are and if they foster more and better entrepreneurs compared to entrepreneurship master that do not oblige VCPs in their curriculum. Therefore, this thesis aims to analyse the differences in entrepreneurial intention and b

The abortion debate in the United States has become increasingly polarized where the legality and morality of abortion is continuously discussed. This has given rise to an abortion movement and countermovement, commonly referred to as the pro- choice movement and pro-life movement. These movements are furthermore working transnationally to promote their agendas and contribute to social and politic

The demand for products with alternative proteins that can replace meat continues to increase. One alternative protein is mycoprotein, which is produced by filamentous fungi. This master thesis was made at Mycorena in Gothenburg, a company that has developed their own mycoprotein product Promyc®, which has already been successfully used in several vegan food products. The aim of this master thesi

Led by the growth paradigm, the fashion sector finds itself in patterns of overproduction and overconsumption putting immense pressure on socio-ecological systems. To tackle this current system, the degrowth movement emerges as a plausible solution. In this thesis, we aim at getting an empirically based understanding of social innovations’ strategies of change, in the fashion sector, in order to e

ADHD is a diagnosis that was believed to be a child diagnosis. Nowadays it is a known fact that the diagnosis remains in adulthood. Due to this, we found it interesting to immerse ourselves in the topic of adults. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how individuals who got the diagnosis as adults or youths reflect about three different aspects; how the diagnosis has affected th

To seal a cable going into the chassis of a camera, a cable gasket is placed between the chassis and the gasket. This type of gasket is called a grommet. For this project, these grommets needed to be able to withstand a modular plug being pulled through and at the same time be as small as possible to fit into a small space. The purpose of this master thesis was to investigate how to make a grommet

När bokbranschen nu genomgår en förändring där digitala böcker blir allt mer populära är det viktigt för förlagen att veta hur användarbeteendet ser ut när det gäller de nya plattformarna. Hur går det egentligen till när ljudboksanvändare väljer ljudböcker? Den frågan ger den här undersökningen svar på genom att undersöka vilka faktorer som påverkar valet av ljudbok. Faktorerna utbud, omslag, förf

In times of limited resources, growing cities, and a changing world, weeding out outdated answers to new questions is a cardinal task of architecture. Especially in cities, the space is limited, and space does not equal space. Development in the outer parts with new infrastructure has vastly different consequences than densification on inner-city plots. In the case study city of Berlin, the popula

Since the inception of Hinduism some 3500-4300 years ago, religion has been at the forefront of human, cultural, and social development, but how influential has it been on economic growth during the past century? This study examines this intriguing question to find whether or not religion is as prominent in the prosperity and development of modern economies as it once was. Seven carefully selected

Acquisition of irregular verb forms in L2 French: does the L1 of the learners explain the difference ? This study explores L1 effects on the production of subject-verb agreement in number (singular vs. plural) in L2 French. L1 influence has rarely been explored in detail in this context, especially compared to other factors such as input frequency of specific verb forms, singular vs plural entitie

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) results from somatic genomic alterations that drive clonal expansion of blood cells. Somatic gene mutations associated with hematologic malignancies detected in hematopoietic cells of healthy individuals, referred to as CH of indeterminate potential (CHIP), have been associated with myeloid malignancies, while mosaic chromosomal alterations (mCAs) have been associated wit

To explore the internal flow distributions and heat transfer mechanism in different types of independent cooling modules for automotive, numerical, and experimental studies were conducted. According to the study, the independent cooling modules with parallel structure, on which the heat exchangers were located separately and close to the inlets, the performance improvement was significant. In addi

Cervical cancer is preventable by screening. In 1967, Sweden introduced a cervical screening program. Screening for high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV), the causative factor of cervical cancer, is more sensitive than cytology and can be performed as a self-sample. Non-attendance to screening is a large risk factor for cervical cancer. Self-samples may improve screening attendance. The aims of

Background: People with inflammatory arthritis (IA) often experience low work ability, and up to 38% lose their jobs during the initial years after the diagnosis of IA. Aim: We explore the perceived challenges at work and identify the need for professional support among Danish people with IA. Materials/methods: Individual explorative interviews based on a hermeneutic approach. We used Graneheim an

Car sharing could support a transition away from private vehicle ownership and use. Attempts to understand participation in car sharing have primarily focused on minor and major disruptions which catalyse change in practices. This paper examines how processes of entering, continuing or exiting car sharing systems unfold in Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. Car sharing is conceptualised a

Oxidative addition is the standard process for single-bond activation in transition metal catalysis and it is known to operate for many types of bonds, but challenging σ-bonds e. g. C(sp3)−F and C(sp3)−C(sp3) bonds are the exceptions in this respect. This short review aims at demonstrating how both α- and β-eliminations may be better options for activation of unstrained C−F and C−C single bonds. S
