This study aims to investigate how people who are living in, who have lived or who are currently working at a non-profit organization in Södra Sofielund in Malmö, Sweden, experience the area through different aspects such as feelings of safety and belonging. This study also aims to discover what resources they wish to see implemented in Södra Sofielund as well as to investigate what resources are
This paper investigates how firms and financial markets respond to extreme weather events, using the flood in 2021 in Germany as a case study. An event study is used to assess short-term stock market reactions for listed firms in affected regions. The results show a significant and persistent decline in stock prices, suggesting that investors initially underreacted to the disaster. A difference-in
Denna studie undersökte möjligheten att använda icke-kontextuella mått på motivation: Tidsinvestering och Personlighet. Dessa icke-kontextuella mått utvärderades utifrån deras förmåga att predicera genomsnittligt betyg (GPA), ett vanligt använt mått på akademisk prestation och indikator för akademisk motivation. Resultaten analyserades via explorativ faktoranalys och multipel linjär regression basThis study investigated the possibility of using non-contextual measurements of motivation: Time-investment and Personality. These non-contextual measurements were evaluated based on their ability to predict Grade Point Average (GPA), a commonly used metric of academic performance and used tangible for academic motivation. Results were analysed through exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and multipl
This study assesses the effectiveness of post-classification change detection for monitoring land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics across West Africa between 2000 and 2013. Using publicly available maps from the USGS West Africa Land Cover dataset, the original 25-class scheme was reclassified into 8 generalized land cover categories to allow for a more interpretable change analysis. A pixel-wis
By 2050, 70% of the global population is projected to live in urban areas, with much of this growth occurring in developing countries where the demand for affordable and accessible housing is not met, resulting in a growing population residing in slums or areas of slum-like conditions. One of the many risks associated with living in slums or areas of slum-like conditions is fires, which are freque
In this thesis, algorithms have been developed for automated design of fully differential amplifiers. Given the amplifier specifications, the automated design flow generates netlists for the amplifier core as well as bias circuitry. The algorithms are independent of Process Design Kit (PDK) and can target all the currently available open-source PDKs. Using the automated flow, 280 amplifier netlist
This study investigates how brand trust is constructed, challenged, and redefined on dating applications, with a focus on the communicative strategies and lived experiences of female users. Adopting a qualitative approach grounded in thematic analysis, it draws on semi-structured interviews with 15 women residing in Sweden to examine how users negotiate trust in emotionally charged, algorithmicall
In communication and management research, employee voice has been widely acknowledged as a central component for organizations long term development and survival. With the increasing digitalization and need for flexibility, digital workplace meetings have become a common form of communication, demonstrating a new arena where employee voice is expressed and shaped. Thus, the aim of this study is to
Detta projekt avsåg att optimera ett automatiskt backspolande filter för emulsionspolymerer på the Dow Chemical Companys anläggning i Landskrona, samt att jämföra det med det befintliga påsfiltersystemet. Då filtret använder färdigprodukten för att backspola filtret fokuserade optimeringen på att minska mängden produkt som spolas ut, så kallat reject, då detta medför avfallskostnader och förlust aThis project aimed to optimize an automatic backwash filter for emulsion polymers at the Dow Chemical Company's facility in Landskrona, and to compare it with the existing cartridge filter system. Since the filter uses the finished product to backwash the filter, the optimization focused on reducing the amount of product that is flushed out, so-called reject, as this entails disposal costs and
As climate change presents a complex and urgent challenge, philanthropic actors are recognised as ‘change agents’ in driving responses. This study explores how Philea, a European network, guides its members' foundations and philanthropic organisations towards greener transitions. Building on the theory of polycentric governance and the concept of environmental philanthropy, this study addresse
Introduction: PARP14 is a member of the PARP superfamily of enzymes, which are responsible for the ADP-ribosylation of target proteins and nucleic acids. The enzyme performs mono-ADP-ribosylation of its targets and is involved in many cellular processes, including DNA repair, cellular differentiation and apoptosis. PARP14 is specifically regarded as a writer, reader, as well as an eraser of ADP-ri
This master thesis was done in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Sys- tems, with the objective to find a standard lift solution for their overhead sectional door 1142. The current solution has a minimum required headroom of 900 mm, which means that there needs to be at least 900 mm between the lowest part of the door and the highest part of the whole structure when the door is open. While th
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Studying the left ventricular myocardial perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a validated method to assess and diagnose the disease. Quantitative assessment of perfusion has advantages compared to qualitative evaluation, still, no regulatory approved software exist. In this project, a
Denna uppsats undersöker hur Tysklands och Nederländernas modeller för legalisering och reglering av cannabis förhåller sig till Europeiska unionens regler om den fria rörligheten för varor, särskilt artiklarna 34–36 FEUF. Syftet är att analysera huruvida dessa nationella regelverk är förenliga med unionsrätten samt att identifiera eventuella juridiska risker och möjligheter. Uppsatsen använder räThis thesis examines the compatibility of Germany’s and the Netherlands’ national cannabis legalization models with the EU rules on the free movement of goods, particularly Articles 34–36 of the TFEU. The purpose is to assess the extent to which these national regulations align with EU law and to identify potential legal risks and opportunities. A combination of legal dogmatic and EU-legal methodo
Strategic decision-making (SDM) is a core function of managerial roles, often carried out under pressure, uncertainty, and cognitive limitations. This thesis explores how overconfidence bias affects strategic decision-making in organisational settings. While cognitive biases have been extensively studied in psychology and behavioural economics, the specific impact of overconfidence on business-rel
Skolfrånvaro är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem där forskning tyder på att individer utan fullföljd utbildning löper större risk för arbetslöshet och att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. För att förebygga denna problematik menar Skolverket i en rapport från 2023 att interprofessionell samverkan utgör en framgångsfaktor. Tidigare forskning har redogjort för hur samverkan vanligtvis betraktas som nå

The development of the water-borne microbiome in newly installed polyethylene pipes of a non-chlorinated drinking water distribution system was studied over a period of six months. Water samples were taken from two identical newly installed pipes (“NP1”, “NP2”), as well as from a reference point at equal distance (“DS1”). These water samples were filtered and had the DNA extracted using FastDNA SP
The phenomenon of cyclical female mentoring, defined as women’s engagement in same gender mentoring relationships both as a mentee and a mentor, has been underexplored in the mentoring literature. The purpose of this study is thus to understand how women experience cyclical female mentoring, with a specific focus on relational, gender-focused, and learning dimensions. To fulfil this purpose, the s
Sustainability reporting remains a well-established field of research, with many important contributions. Additionally, the public has a growing desire for firms to adopt responsible ESG practices, thus requiring more transparency and accountability. Without the acceptance from the public, the business might face negative consequences. The understanding of how sustainability reporting is disclosed
