Traditional change management models have been widely used to manage organisational change. However, this integrative literature review paper questions their relevance in environments characterised by complexity due to the intricate nature of challenges and uncertainties in these contexts. A novel framework is developed, encompassing key elements required to facilitate change in complex environmen

The digital platform Airbnb has gained popularity in a number of countries particu- larly in the Maltese islands. Striking a balance in setting a price that is competitive and also renders a good profit can be a challenge. In this thesis a model is de- veloped to predict the price of a listing in the Maltese islands for September 2022 through a machine learning approach whereby five types of model

Introduction: This project is about in vitro assays of metabolic stability and metabolite identification during early drug discovery. Background: Predicting metabolic stability is as essential part of drug discovery. Several in vitro systems exist including microsomes, S9 fractions and hepatocytes. Currently, hepatocytes are not used at the company, but there is demand from clients and projects.

The overall purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of producing electrofuels from CO2 and H2 in connection to a CHP plant equipped with carbon capture technology. This is done by investigating the production of e-methane, e-methanol and e-kerosene from captured CO2 and H2 produced from electrolysis. Each of the processes is designed and analyzed in Aspen HYSYS. From this, the ene

Abstract: This thesis examines the concept of sustainable economic growth in post-genocide Rwanda, focusing on its structural transformation from the agricultural sector towards the service sector. This exploration essentially regards the implications for catch-up growth in light of the new notion of premature deindustrialisation. The role of Human Capital and Information and Communication technol

Much has been written about Hemingway’s works from a feminist or queer perspective, including the relation between Hemingway’s biography and his representation of female characters, female domination and homosexuality. In comparison, the queer sub-field of transgender studies, which entails analyzing gender transgression and influence, has received little attention by scholars of Hemingway studies

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting. B

Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and

Ny avfallslagstiftning tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang I dagsläget bestämmer varje kommun själv hur många källsorterade avfallsfraktioner de vill hämta upp hos hushållen samt huruvida matavfall ska sorteras ut separat eller slängas blandat med restavfall. Ny avfallslagstiftning från EU och regeringen tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang så att de lever upp tRecycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

Sökandet av förståelsen kring hur jorden, solsystemet, galaxen och universum fungerar har under de senaste hundratals åren varit ständiga frågor som vi människor grubblat över. Frågor som vad materia är, vart det kommer ifrån och hur det ter sig var under en lång tid obesvarade frågor. Idag vet vi att många grundämnen skapas genom den fusion som sker inuti stjärnkroppar, och resterande grundämnen During this report the potassium (K) trend in the Galactic Bulge, with respect to metallicity and various α-elements, has been computed and evaluated by a method of line synthesis on the 7698.96 ̊A KI line (7699 KI), where Non-Local-Thermal-Equilibrium (NLTE) effects have been considered. Specifically, the α-elements of interest are calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxy

Examensarbetet har utförts på Höganäs AB där stor del av verksamheten drivs av ABB:s styrsystem. Eftersom ABB:s I/O-moduler har lång leveranstid för tillfället men också ett högt inköpspris så sökte företaget alternativ. Det skulle vara lönsamt att testa och analysera alternativ då priserna kan reduceras men också en nödlösning när I/O-moduler går sönder i verksamheten, eller när något nytt behöve

Campylobacter jejuni causes around 100 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and are often transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food, especially poultry. One of the natural enemies of C. jejuni is the bacteriophage Fletchervirus. In this master thesis I have been working on developing and evaluating different tools to modify Fletchervirus which could in the future hel

Workplace incivility has been shown to affect the individual and organization negatively. Studies have also indicated that workplace incivility is a relatively common phenomenon in Sweden. In connection with the pandemic, working life has become increasingly digital, which has normalized video meetings. Therefore, more knowledge is requested about workplace incivility in digital meetings. This pre

The purpose of this master thesis is to get a deeper knowledge and understanding of the European Union’s vision and strategy on peacebuilding in Colombia. By investigating the main messages and meanings as expressed by the European Union in the empirical material, The European Union Trust Fund for Colombia and The Multi-annual Indicative Programme 2021-2027, this thesis seeks to identify the ideas

This paper examines the relationship between pension income and health consumption expenditure on the household level with a supporting analysis of the realtionship between individual pension income and health status. A relationship that becomes increasingly as health expenditures increase with ageing populations and changing pension systems. Using individual and household data from Hungary in 5 y

Skogsbränder hotar bevarandet av skogens ekosystemtjänster såsom ekologiska funktioner för biologisk mångfald, mildring av effekter från klimatförändringar och rekreation såsom skogspromenader och bärplockning. Hur kan vi ingripa för att återhämta och bibehålla sådana funktioner i naturen efter bränder? I den här studien undersöktes potentialen för återhämtningen av skogar utifrån skogsåtgärder efWildfires causes natural disturbances to ecosystems which can have potentially damaging results for ecosystem services and economic income from timber production. The post-fire management approach can be essential for the environmental work regarding the recovery of ecosystems and maintaining ecosystem services. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate different post-fire management approac

Living to some extent in a partly or fully virtual reality is a scenario that may not be as far in the future as many may think, and the development of technologies that enable this is fully underway. This thesis investigates the commercialization of extended reality (XR) technologies in the consumer market and what may facilitate and hinder this commercialization. The emerging ecosystem of actors

För att kunna handskas med de stigande stressnivåerna hos skolelever är det viktigt att skapa en välfungerande lärandemiljö. Detta kan till exempel göras med olika verktyg och ett av dem är Woof Technologies ApS platform WOOF som kan användas som ett hjälpmedel för lärare i grundskolan för att mäta och arbeta med elevers trivsel och välmående i en klass. Syftet med detta arbete är att analysera ocIn order to deal with the rising stress levels of pupils, it is important to create a well-functioning learning environment. This can for example be done with various tools, one of them being Woof Technologies ApS platform WOOF which can be used as an aid for teachers in elementary school to measure and work with students' well-being in class.
