When starting and running a new business, entrepreneurs often face stressors and sleep turbulence such as insomnia that disrupt their daily activities. These challenges frequently result in increased exhaustion, which negatively affects cognitive functioning and entrepreneurial performance. Drawing on existing research, I introduce a conceptual framework to gain valuable understanding into the int

Successful introductions can create high job satisfaction, increased performance, organizational commitment, and social integration – also called organizational socialization.

This thesis explores the phenomenon of clothing repair. The fashion industry stands out as one of the most environmentally unsustainable sectors globally, largely due to its adoption of the linear production and consumption model of take, make, and waste. In response to this, the European Union has prioritized textiles in its Circular Economy Action Plan, and within it repair emerges as the most d

Införandet av uppblåsbara och mekaniska vädertätningarna har sänkt energikostnader genom att eliminera en av de största värmeförlusterna i lagringscenter. Dessa vädertätningar kostar tio tusentals kronor att installera och finns nu i varje lager runt hela Sverige. Denna kostnad gör det dyrt att ersätta en vädertätning ifall den skadas. Största orsaken till att dessa vädertätningar blir förstörda e

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

Effectively utilizing Big Data can be a challenge for many companies. Due to its volume, many aspects of the data processing pipeline such as storage, retrieval and usage may quickly become problematic. For example, it could be difficult identifying the relevant metrics when analyzing a service failure. Visualizing and deriving insights from the data could also prove to be quite onerous. Immersive

Knowing whether a riding facility requires a building permit or not is not always straightforward. Neither is it easy to understand how a riding facility compares to a sports field or sports facility. The aim of this thesis is therefore to define the differences between the definitions and understand how the duty of permit is affected by the definition of the riding facility. It is also investigat

Sverige är ett land rikt på vattenkraft, både från inlandssjöar men även från våra många vattendrag. Det har därför sedan länge varit en naturlig del av vår nationella kraftförsörjning, och innan elektriciteten var det ett av våra bästa verktyg när det kom till tunga arbetsuppgifter som att driva benstampar eller mala säd till mjöl. Våra vattendrag är därför fulla av gamla vattenkvarnar och dammar

Ecosystem services are a crucial part of humankind’s well-being and health. They are especially important in agriculture; without them the production of food would come to a halt. The intensification of agriculture has led to a deterioration of the soil health, which in turn has had negative consequences on the ecosystem services that agricultural ecosystems deliver. The aim of this study was to r
