Leadership has long been a major interest worldwide and the subject has been studied and defined in different areas. Leadership styles have emerged, and leadership styles in social work have been highlighted as having altruistic traits, which are central in a street-level bureaucracy. Being the closest manager to social workers means being the first-line manager. This middle management position an
Managing work and other responsibilities while being efficient and open to work changes has become increasingly difficult for employees. There is even more pressure on social workers, or more specifically, mental health workers given the nature of their job which not only includes working with clients but also making the decision to reject some individuals due to a packed schedule. This study aime
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into drug development introduces significant opportunities and ethical challenges, particularly with the use of complex "Black Box" AI systems. This study investigates how the drug development industry addresses ethical concerns associated with AI, focusing on compliance with European Union (EU) regulations, including the Assessment List fo
This thesis investigates the dynamic correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin returns from 2018 to 2024. To capture potential regime-specific dynamics, a Markov Switching Model is employed to segment each return data into two distinct states characterized by high or low volatility, using a LASSO regression to find the appropriate explanatory variables for the returns. Univariate GARCH(1,1)
This study aims to comprehend how German citizens’ understanding of public organizations’ branding, as exemplified by the Bundeswehr, shapes their conception of these organizations. 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
