Entrepreneurship plays an important role in enhancing economic growth, innovation, and social development. Although entrepreneurial success is often linked to individual initiative and risk-taking, knowledge management and networking are recognized as critical components for fostering successful entrepreneurial ventures. The contribution of knowledge hubs in facilitating these elements remains une

Vi bor i galaxen Vintergatan. En plats som vi kan kalla hemma i ett allt växande universum. Men hur mycket vet vi egentligen om våran galax? Det finns mycket som återstår att upptäcka om våran galax. Ett exempel på någonting som vi inte vet hittas när vi observerar den galaktiska disken. Detta är regionen som expanderar horisontellt från det galaktiska centrumet. Disken är uppdelad i en tunn ochThis paper discusses the effects of different types of contamination on 4MOST stellar spectra. Three main types of contamination were tested. These were, a smooth function over the continuum, changing the H-alpha line, and adding telluric contamination. By knowing how much these experiments affected the generated values, it was possible to understand the importance of avoiding overfitting or under

This study aims to explore inter-agency collaborative efforts with GIS, short for Geographical Information Systems, in Sweden. BrandGIS is a new GIS-tool developed as a collaborative effort by GIS-employees of Swedish counties as a part of the BrandGIS project. During 2014-2018 a number of wildfires occurred in Sweden where a deficiency of accurate and up-to-date maps led to a desire among GIS-emp

Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur och varför musiklärare i grundskolan arbetar med improvisation i sin undervisning och vilka förutsättningar detta kräver. Vidare undersöker studien hur ett rytmikpedagogisk

This thesis explores the legal, ethical, and human rights challenges posed by emerging neurotechnologies and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven neural implants within the European Union. It critically assesses the adequacy of current EU regulatory frameworks, specifically the General Data Protection Regulation, the Artificial Intelligence Act, and the Medical Device Regulation in addressing the u

Foton för forskning och framtiden Kan lösningen på ett forskningsproblem vara din smartphone? Om vi frågar grundarna till projektet CoastSnap är svaret ja! CoastSnap är ett så kallat medborgarforskningsprojekt, vilket innebär att allmänheten deltar i forskning genom att hjälpa till med datainsamling. Kusten är ett utmanande forskningsområde, och i och med klimatförändringarna och den stigande havThe coast is an ever-changing environment, and due to climate change, coastal research is becoming more challenging. To detect changes in the coastline, such as erosion, researchers need large amounts of data over long periods of time. Part of the solution could be the citizen science project CoastSnap – a global community beach monitoring program. The aim of this study was to examine factors that

Banker och andra företag handlar en oerhörd stor mängd finansiella kontrakt mellan varandra. Att fel uppstår i dessa kontrakt är oundvikligt, och denna studie undersöker hur AI kan användas för att hitta dessa fel. När två parter gör upp en derivataffär - ett skräddarsytt kontrakt som tillgodoser specifika ändamål - hanteras ofta affären manuellt i separata system hos de olika parterna. Denna proThis thesis explores the use of machine learning to detect anomalies in OTC derivatives. The purpose is to evaluate whether machine learning can be used in a new domain within the financial industry and to investigate whether anomaly detection can enhance the portfolio reconciliation process. The study compares three different approaches to anomaly detection: logistic regression, isolation forest

I denna uppsats undersöks skälen till och rättfärdigandet av att hela kon-cerner hålls ansvariga för överträdelser av EU:s konkurrensrätt i stället för de företag inom koncernen som aktivt deltagit i överträdelsen. I uppsatsen undersöks presumtionen om att moderbolag utövar ett avgörande infly-tande, en rättslig mekanism som innebär att ett moderbolag tillskrivs an-svar utan att några ytterligare This thesis examines the rationale and justification of imputing liability for infringements of EU competition law to entire corporate groups rather than on the legal entities within that group that actively participated in the infringement. It explores the presumption of decisive influence, a legal mechanism which attributes liability on a parent company without adduc-ing any further evidence of

Den svenska partipolitiken kännetecknades länge av en tydlig klassdiskurs, och ansågs vara undantaget för nedgången i den klassbaserade röstningen. Under de senaste decennierna har däremot även Sverige genomgått förändringar i den klassbaserade röstningen där arbetarklassens väljare alltmer förflyttats från socialdemokratin till högernationalistiska partier. Följande undersökning avser därför att

Heading: Swedish municipalities embrace the challenge of determining whether new nuclear power is the carbon-free energy solution they need and want Introduction: New nuclear power has become a hopeful energy frontrunner for numerous Swedish municipalities due to increased need for energy access in Sweden and the ever prevalent need for fossil-free energy. This study explores municipal percepSwedish municipalities are placed in a decision-making position as the nation looks to bolster the nation's energy strategy with increased nuclear power. New nuclear power is posed as an exciting potential solution to the energy crisis and the need for more decarbonized energy sources. New nuclear power also consists of uncertainty, emerging technologies, and planning difficulties. This thesis

This study examines the relationship between institutional ownership and firm performance, with a particular focus on how such ownership may influence outcomes under conditions of financial distress. Using a panel dataset of Swedish firms listed on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm from 2014 to 2024, we explore whether institutional ownership and its short-term changes (ΔIO) are associated with improved fi

Sustainable development and sustainable urbanism has been receiving an increasingly influential role in urban development throughout the last decades, and many cities label themselves as ‘green’, ‘smart’, and ‘sustainable’. At the same time municipalities have been experiencing increasing economic pressure due to decentralization processes, which has resulted in them carrying a central role in dev

A fluid and undefined existence that tears in all directions, a total chaos swirling like a storm that diminishes the recognisable, creating confusion and disorientation. The question is whether to shape something in the outer, or whether something in the outer should be allowed to shape the inner: to let oneself be shaped by what is external, or to let what is external shape the internal. The two

This study critically examines how nature is mobilized in the urban planning discourse of Västra Hamnen, Malmö, and explores the implications for justice and the distribution of green infrastructure. Combining Urban Political Ecology (UPE) with Nesbitt et al.’s (2018) framework on Urban Green Equity, the analysis integrates thematic readings of planning documents, site observations, and an informa

The political debate surrounding criminal policy in Sweden has largely focused on orga- nized crime, and the issue has been central during the 2022 election. With this under- standing as a backdrop, this bachelor’s thesis seeks to understand how Swedish politicians from the social democrats (S) and Sweden democrats (SD) parties frame organized crime and criminal policy surrounding it. For this pur

This thesis investigates the pattern formation of supersolid states in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of highly magnetic Dysprosium-162 confined in a flattened trap geometry. This is done by solving the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation (eGPE), a framework that was developed to examine BECs. The eGPE incorporates contact interaction, the dipole-dipole interaction (DDI), and quantum fluc

This thesis explores how Hannah Arendt’s idea of the "banality of evil" can clarify human rights abuses within bureaucratic systems, concentrating on the Nazi Holocaust and the internment of Uyghur Muslims in Xinjiang, China. By examining historical documents, official records, and accounts from survivors, the research investigates how administrative frameworks normalize and facilitate s

The topic of this study is the phosphorylation dependent interaction between aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the FERM domain of ezrin. AQP2 is an important water channel for finetuning the water content of the urine based on the needs of the body. The main way of regulating how much water is reabsorbed is by regulating the amount of AQP2 present in the apical membrane. This regulation is controlled throug
