Startups. Why are the odds of surviving the initial stages so low? While the internet revolution has made it easier to start up, for example by democratizing investments through crowdfunding, the rate of success is still daunting. Why? Ultimately, the world is still being built by humans. That means a group effort is required. To realize this, leadership is an undeniably crucial element. Yet, not
The aim of this master’s thesis is to analyze how the Øresund region is discussed in the two leading Scanian morning papers; Sydsvenskan and Skånska Dagbladet. It also aims at discussing the value-basis of the Øresund region and values attributed to the Øresund co-operation. The thesis will consist of a qualitative text analysis of twenty-four articles in Sydsvenskan and seventeen in Skånska Dagbl
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att reda ut huruvida kritiken mot ISDS är befogad, hur kritiken har bemötts från politiker, och hur framtiden ser ut för detta kontroversiella tvistlösningssystem. ISDS har inkluderats, under nytt namn och med vissa påstådda förbättringar, i frihandelsavtalet CETA som EU förhandlat fram med Kanada och förväntas inkluderas även i ett eventuellt frihandelsavtal med USThe purpose of this essay is to find out whether the criticism of the ISDS is justified, how the criticism has been met by politicians and what the future holds for this controversial dispute settlement system. ISDS has been included, under the new name and with some alleged improvements, in the Free Trade Agreement CETA wich EU has negotiated with Canada and is expected to also be included in a p
This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i
Syftet med denna studie har varit att belysa hur guider inom Arbetsmarknadsförvaltningen beskriver deras möte med klienter som uppbär försörjningsstöd. Möten och även relationen mellan socialarbetare och klient är något som i tidigare studier beskrivits som betydelsefull för arbetet, men också som något komplext. I denna studie har vi undersökt hur guiderna resonerar kring beteende, uppträdande ocThe purpose of this study has been to shed light on how guides in the labor market administration describe their meeting with clients who receive financial aid. Meetings and also the relationship between social workers and clients is something that in previous studies has been described as important for the work, but also as something complex. In this study, we have examined how the guides reason
The concept of road- and railway overbuilding is an increasingly popular method to use in spatial planning to get rid of physical barriers and create exploitable areas for residential, commercial, and recreational development. Despite the many benefits the method entails, it also brings a lot of problems and challenges regarding risk management with the main issue being how to evaluate and manage
The notion of politicization in government agencies has been described by many researchers as a threat to our democracy. But what exactly is meant by the term politicization, and how is it understood in the debate? As an attempt to answer this question, a discourse analytical method has been applied. The results show that politicization might not have an axiomatic definition, but rather that the d
Studiens syfte är att utvidga kunskapen om berggrunden på södra Gotlands och koppla det till den ansträngda grundvattensituation i området. Materialet till studien kommer från Sveriges geologiska undersök-ning (SGU) som utfört geofysiska borrhålsmätningar och flygburna resistivitetsmätningar (SkyTEM) och från Olje-prospekterings AB (OPAB) som på 70- och 80-talet gjorde borrningar på Gotland i syft
Studien undersökte sambanden mellan hur psykologer uppfattade chefers autonomi- och kompetensstödjande tillämpning av politiska beslut och upplevt arbetsklimat samt huruvida detta predicerade arbetsmotivation och arbetskrav. Studien utgick från Self-Determination Theory vilken framhåller tre medfödda psykologiska behov som är essentiella för främjandet av motivation hos människor. 164 psykologer vThe aim of this study was to examine the relation between how psychologists perceived their managers as autonomy- and competence supportive in implementing policies and need satisfaction. Furthermore, this study investigated whether these variables could predict work motivation and job demands among psychologists. The study is based on Self-Determination Theory, which emphasizes three innate needs
Firms are investing heavily in adopting and implementing (Robotics Process Automation) RPA, although they lack the ability or understanding to capture the value of such investments. Value is created with the acceptance and usage of a new technology. As a response to limitations in existing IT adoption literature, the study sought to synthesize the often overlapping and complementary constructs of
This Master’s thesis investigates if a previously integrated Simulink based vehicle model works for testing and verifying software on an ECU (electronic control unit) used to control a four-wheel drive coupling in cars. The testing is done through a specific program called CANoe that allows the tester to both develop and run test cases. This work also investigates the possibility to use static eva
