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
Suppose that an infinite population is partitioned into different species. Given a random sample from the population of species, we are interested in estimating the species richness, which is the number of different species inhabiting a given area. The species richness is a symmetric functional of the probability mass function. A suitable model for estimating the probability mass function is via
Thesis purpose: to explore what influence consumer-brand relationships may have on consumers’ perceptions of personalized marketing and the personalization-privacy paradox. Methodology: to understand each of the respondents' different perceptions of the thesis’ purpose and research question, a relativist and social constructionist approach were applied. Theoretical perspective: in order to ful
I takt med att tekniken går framåt blir den även vanligare i undervisningen. I dagsläget används IT som hjälpmedel på de flesta skolor och att elever ska lära sig att använda teknik är nu även en del av läroplanen. Då molntjänster har utvecklats och blivit en större del av våra privatliv så har de även senaste åren tagit sig in i skolan, även om det inte alla gånger varit lagligt. Tidigare forskni

Investment in publicly listed companies has become a foundation of saving and a way of managing wealth for the general public. Even though the stock market permeates many of our daily lives and is heavily monitored and regulated, there is stil
This master thesis aimed at exploring different methods of producing a beverage based on Lantmännen’s Swedish grown white beans. A flour was milled from beans that had been soaked and boiled in order to inactivate antinutrients such as lectins, trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, and subsequently dried and milled. A water-based beverage with 8% bean flour was boiled for 5 min. 1.5% of rapeseed oil
Globalization has developed workplaces that contain a mixture of people with different cultural backgrounds. Managing a culturally diverse workplace can be challenging and strategies for managing require constant improvements and adaptations in order to have a successful work environment. The purpose of this thesis is to highlight and gain a deeper understanding of how the power of cultural divers
Building sustainable, collaborative solutions to contemporary sustainability challenges requires a new generation of future professionals or ‘change-agents,’ the engagement of non-academic stakeholders, and academic facilitation. Educational reform is needed in order to enhance students’ competencies in becoming effective sustainability professionals. Effective collaborative platforms have the pot
Browning - increased water colour of freshwater, caused by rising dissolved organic matter and iron concentrations - has been widely reported and studied during the past 30 years. Browning has affected a wide range of organisms in aquatic ecosystems, however little attention has been given to macroinvertebrates in streams and especially regarding iron concentration. In this study, I include the ef
In this study the three-factor model of Fama and French (1992; 1993) is evaluated on portfolios of Swedish stocks. Both a cross-section and time series approach are used to evaluate the model. The results show that beta, size, and book-to-market are significant variables in explaining excess returns of Swedish stock portfolios. The three-factor model can explain variations in stock returns on the
Megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts (MLC), is a congenital leukodystrophy with childhood onset. It is an extremely rare genetic disorder of the brain that affects less than 1 per 1,000,000 live births. Patients typically present macrocephaly during early childhood and later develop symptoms like decreased motor and cognitive functions, and epileptic seizures, all of which us
2016 was historic for Colombia since it put an official end to the fifty-two year long armed conflict. The peace was agreed when the Final Peace Agreement was signed by the two major actors, Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias and the Colombian Government. This research aims to investigate how female victims-survivors of the armed conflict in Colombia are influencing peacebuilding. The investigation f
Three different processing methods of raw oat okara were used in order to determine which method will have the highest impact in eliminating unwanted microorganisms and making the okara acceptable for human consumption. Processed okara was also fermented to determine the impact of processing technique on its fermenting capabilities and to develop a starting material for a sustainable and functiona
The white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a once common species in southern Sweden, went extinct in the 1950s due to changes in agricultural practices, and is now listed as “Endangered” according to the Swedish Red List, since the population is too small to be viable on its own. Thanks to the ongoing reintroduction programme, there are now 70 breeding pairs in southern Sweden. This study aimed to verify
As globalization increasingly shapes modern workplaces, multicultural teams have become a standard feature. While such teams bring diverse perspectives and enhance problem-solving capabilities, they also face persistent challenges in communication, trust, and collaboration. Leadership plays a decisive role in determining whether diversity fosters synergy or results in fragmentation. This study exa
