Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives.

Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

While most countries experience episodes of large capital inflows, Advanced Economies tend to fare slightly better, while Emerging Economies experience more adverse effects.

Simultaneously, the global business landscape is changing at an accelerated pace and in an unprecedente

Blue stragglers were first discovered as hotter and more luminous than the turnoff in the globular cluster M3. Their presence is typically explained by the interplay between stellar collisions and mass transfer in binary systems. In this thesis, I study blue stragglers produced from primordial binary evolution. This is done by both reproducing individual blue stragglers, to examine the different f

Tänk om du levde i en värld med ett stabilt klimat där fler företag bedrev sin verksamhet utefter cirkulära affärsmodeller. Ett samhälle som anammat mer hållbara konsumtionsbeteenden, skapat fler arbetstillfällen, och äntligen slutat utarma Jordens naturresurser. Vore inte det en härlig tillvaro? Vill vi förverkliga drömmen bör vi ställa oss frågan vad som krävs för att vi ska komma dit. Mer speciThe shortage of Earth’s limited resources is becoming more evident and our planet’s climate system is under immense pressure. To combat these problems, more people investigate the concept of circularity. This study intended to find out what make consumers motivated to buy used items from a professional refurbisher, thereby replacing purchases of brand-new products, and also identifying barriers.

The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future. Adequate flood modelli

Det har visats att svenska högskole- och universitetsstudenter mår psykiskt sämre i jämförelse med yrkesverksamma i samma ålder. Tidigare studier har visat att det finns ett samband mellan fysisk träning och bättre mental hälsa. Trots detta rör många på sig för lite. Denna studie undersökte hur regelbunden träning påverkar svenska studenters mående och vilka effekter den har på deras liv. Detta gjIt has been shown that university students in comparison to the working population of the same age are more exposed to factors that can lead to poor mental health. Previous studies have shown that there is a relationship between physical exercise and improved mental health. Despite this, many don’t get enough exercise. This study explored how frequent exercise affects Swedish university students&#
