There is a rising phenomenon of teenagers starting ventures, some starting as early as ten years old. These entrepreneurial profiles seemingly lack experience and resources but still manage to create viable businesses, which shake the well-established assumptions about entrepreneurs. Despite this, teenagers are distanced from current research. This thesis aims to unpack the mechanisms that allow t
In light of diabetes becoming a global discussion topic, some steps ought to be taken to help reduce the number of individuals suffering from the disease. Keeping good glycemic control through a healthy diet helps prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Plant lipids are increasingly being studied for their postprandial effects on humans. Using a randomized cross-over dose-effect design based
Det dagliga arbetet i skolan är präglat av mänskliga interaktioner. Det är av största vikt att parterna i dessa interaktioner kan förstå och samspela med varandra. Rollteori beskriver hur interaktioner underlättas genom att de inblandade antar olika roller baserat på vilket beteende som förväntas av dem. I denna studie har vi använt oss av Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv då vi genom obser
The purpose of this study is to analyse, through a broad series of interviews with a multitude of actors, how collective organizing is created through the meeting of gig-workers and other organisational actors within the sector of the Swedish gig-economy. In the thesis, this is done by applying theoretical ideas about class identity, the outsider/insider dichotomy and new social movements theory t
Över 70% av alla män kommer bli helt eller delvis skalliga under sina liv, men trots detta finns försvinnande lite samhällsvetenskaplig forskning kring hur män upplever eller hanterar håravfall. Syftet med detta arbete är att få en bättre förståelse för ämnet utifrån ett antropologiskt perspektiv, genom att svara på hur unga män som börjat tappa håret tidigt upplever hårförlust och skallighet, sam
I samband med COVID-19-pandemin blev distansarbete vardagen för många verksamheter. Detta ser ut att bli bestående för många verksamheter. Distansarbete utgör stora risker för informationssäkerhetsarbetet i och med ändrat beteende hos anställda och dålig anpassning av verksamheter. Det kan även konstateras att den mänskliga faktorn är bristpunkten inom informationssäkerhet. Därmed är intrång genom

In South Africa, sustainable use of wildlife is widely recognized as providing economic incentives and actively engaging rural communities in conservation management. Aiming to combat rampant poverty and wildlife crime in communities around protected areas (PAs), the country’s biodiversity economy envisions to scale (non-)consumptive activities in the pursuit of creating economically and environme
In recent decades, the need to tackle mental health issues and promote mental well-being has been increasingly put in the socio-political spotlight. As a first step towards creating a European strategy on mental health, the European Commission published the Green Paper, Improving the mental health of the population: Towards a strategy on mental health for the European Union in 2005. This master’s

The aim was to understand the perceived importance of implementing CSR initiatives within businesses and to ascertain the current state of the industry in regard to the subject. A review of the literature was conducted in order to comprehen
Syftet med fallstudien är att skapa en djupare förståelse av hur partnering tillämpas i byggbranschen. Aktörernas synpunkter ska presenteras för att skapa ett flersidigt perspektiv på hur man arbeta med projektpartnering.

The global human rights regime can only recognise rights that are already known and given, what I’m calling constituted human rights. This mantra poses some immediate obstacles: it effectively invisibilises issues of the productivity and antagonism of human rights movements, the unknown and indeterminate future, and human rights that don’t yet exist. This thesis is an effort to disclose, through c
A semi-flexible pavement is a composite material consisting of an open-graded asphalt skeleton with an air void content between 25 - 35% that is filled with a cement sludge. Limited research has been done regarding factors which can affect the mechanical properties of this material. Therefore, this study explores the affect the penetration value of a bitumen has on the stiffness of a semi-flexible
Background With obesity levels on the rise globally, it is necessary to create a healthier food environment and increase access to nourishing and palatable foods. Dietary fibre consumption has been proven to be one of the best ways to prevent cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes. Glucanova AB developed an oat bran and barley-based product and investigated the daylong effect on glucose respo
This thesis aims to analyze the methods of existing studies on the relationship be- tween energy intensity and economic variables. I study panel data from 42 countries to examine the cointegration between energy intensity and GDP, capital stock, pop- ulation, and CO2 emissions as well as estimate their relationship with a pooled common correlated effects (CCEP) estimator. Then I investigate the he
The European Union (EU) is the largest provider of development aid in the world, considering the funds given by its institutions and Member States. Development cooperation has been a central policy theme since the Treaty of Rome in 1957, thus constituting a significant sphere of the EU’s foreign affairs. In this context, the concept of partnership covers a meaningful role, and has lately gained mo
The main objective of our study is to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how employees experience the utilization of a LXP to foster the learning flow within the organization. To address this issue, we challenge Jenkin's (2013) 5I framework, which did not consider the emergence of barriers to using and thus supporting learning flow through tools. This study involves qualitative researc
As the world's population grows, concerns about water scarcity and rising pollution such as phosphorus and nitrogen have increased significantly. Greywater has been considered by researchers as an ideal alternative to fresh water for decades, and several projects have been implemented to treat and recycle it for various reuse purposes. Greywater, which makes up about 80% of household water con
