Using a qualitative research methodology, semi-structured interviews supported by photo-elicitation were conducted with German citizens of different demographic groups to better understand public opinion. The study ide
This thesis examines the relationship between gender and entrepreneurial intentions through the mediating effect of neurodevelopmental symptoms frequently associated with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), aiming to provide an additional explanation for the prevalent gender disparity in the entrepreneurial domain. Our study addresses a prominent gap in existing literature by integrat
In today’s digital age, maintaining privacy is challenging as individuals often disclose personal information unwillingly. This discrepancy, known as the 'privacy paradox,' highlights the gap between privacy concerns and actual data-sharing behavior (Alashoor et al., 2022). Despite extensive research, there is limited understanding of how hedonistic and utilitarian motivations influence co
Neuroepithelial stem (NES) cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), hold promise as a novel cell therapy for treating various neurological disorders such as, neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injury, and stroke. NES cells’ therapeutic potential lies in their ability to differentiate into multiple cell types and restore neuronal function. However, in order for this therapeut
Bakgrund: Föräldrar till barn med funktionsnedsättning spenderar ofta mer tid i omsorgsaktiviteter jämfört med föräldrar till typiskt utvecklade barn och är en grupp som har en ökad risk för obalans i vardagen. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att kartlägga forskningen kring aspekter av livsbalans hos föräldrar till barn med funktionsnedsättning. Metod: Tolv vetenskapliga artiklar er
EU’s green Taxonomy is a key incentive and framework to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable future. This has brought significant changes to the real estate sector's climate adaptation efforts. The Taxonomy and related reporting requirements remain relatively new, leading to limited research and uncertainty about their implementation. This study aims to analyze the impact of unclear
Att anställda trivs på sin arbetsplats är viktigt och bidrar till ett effektivare arbete. Det är därmed av stort intresse att ha kunskap om vad som predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse hos de anställda. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka i vilken grad organisatoriskt engagemang och medarbetarens relationen till sin närmaste ledare (LMX) kunde predicera arbetstillfredsställelse, samt om organEmployees' satisfaction at their workplace is crucial and contributes to more efficient work. Therefore, it is of great interest to understand what predicts employee job satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether organizational commitment and the relationship with one's immediate leader (LMX) could predict job satisfaction, and whether organizational commitment coul
This master thesis is carried out at Sony Nordic which aims to investigate state-of-the-art methods on 3D Scene reconstruction and explores the potential utilization in the industry. The project addresses challenges in reconstructing complex scenes using both static camera setups which consider scenarios with freely moving rigid objects and freely moving cameras. Throughout the research, several k
Title: Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization with Service Differentiation at Volvo Group. Authors: Oscar Frölund & Holger Hjortstam. Supervisors: Johan Marklund, Lund University. Philip Mårtensson & Christian Beckers, Volvo Group. Background: Within inventory control the distribution of spare parts poses multiple challenges. Being a critical area from a business perspective this is a fie
Environmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po
Despite growing interest in sustainable communication, current research provides limited insights into how consumers perceive sustainable communication from fast fashion brands. Existing studies broadly address sustainable communication on social media but rarely focus on specific industries. White et al. (2017) noted that consumer reactions to CSR initiatives remain underexplored, particularly in
Timber structures are increasingly growing in importance and utilization. A contributing factor to this trend is the introduction of cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is an engineered wood product comprising layers of wood made up of multiple boards, alternately referred to as "lamellae". Each layer is positioned perpendicular to the next and bonded together with adhesives. CLT is mostly
Klimatförändringar i kombination med förtätning av städer kommer leda till ökade översvämningsrisker i stadsmiljö. Hållbar dagvatten- hantering kan bidra till att minska dessa risker och innebär att ytligt avrinnande vatten fördröjs så nära källan som möjligt, fördelaktligen genom naturbaserade lösningar. Kvartersmark utgör ungefär 70% av marken i svenska städer och det saknas såväl tydlig lagstifThe combination of climate change and urban consolidation will lead to increased risk of pluvial flooding in urban environments. Sustainable stormwater management can decrease these risks by using measures for surface runoff to be detained locally, preferably through nature based solutions. Private properties constitute about 70% of the land in Swedish cities and there is a lack of clear legislati
The fermentation process is deeply ingrained in human history, not only for preservation but also for enhancing the nutritional value of foods. In the contemporary context, the surge in global food waste is driving innovative solutions, with surplus bread being explored due to its high rate of wastage. Simultaneously, there is a growing interest in reviving traditional fermentation practices amid
Detta examensarbete utforskar integrationen av metoder för att bedöma klimatpåverkan inom investeringsprocesser hos energiföretag, med särskilt fokus på E.ON i Sverige. Vikten av att ta itu med ökande klimatförändringar har intensifierats, vilket kräver en transparent och effektiv strategi för företag för att minska sin miljöpåverkan från investeringar. Denna studie syftar till att identifiera, utThis master thesis explores the integration of climate impact assessments within the investment processes of energy companies, with a specific focus on E.ON in Sweden. The urgency to address climate change has intensified, necessitating transparent and effective strategies within corporate investment decisions to mitigate environmental impact. This study aims to bridge the gap between theoretical

The order-to-delivery (OTD) process for a specific product group at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems (AAES) has been underperforming lately and failing to meet changing customer expectations, especially regarding reliability and speed. The current process configuration has been assessed as outdated and inadequate for efficient distribution of the product. Since the OTD process was configured, supply ch
Young people with complex needs are a vulnerable group who may be involved in crime, or substance abuse, have mental health problems, and be unemployed. It is a vulnerable group that may have several ongoing contacts with authorities. In this study, staff in child and adolescent psychiatry and municipal activity for youth employment centers have been interviewed. The purpose has been to highlight
The modern society is associated with widespread sound recording in public environments as well as in the workplace and at home, which motivates an increased use of speech anonymisation techniques in recorded audio. A demonstrative example is masking recorded speech in hospitals' waiting rooms for eavesdropping listeners inside a control room, thus ensuring privacy of information. This thesis
