Information, varav en stor del är felaktig, sprids i en stor utsträckning på Twitter, speciellt när en pandemi samtidigt breder ut sig över världen. Konspirationsteorier frodas på sociala medier om covid-19 vilket blir ett allt större problem för samhället då detta kan ha många negativa konsekvenser som att delar av befolkningen inte följer rekommendationer och restriktioner. Syftet med den här st

Blockchain technology has in recent years gained significant momentum in a wide variety of industries. However, in the context of SMEs the IS body of research is lacking, both in terms of why SMEs should consider this new technology and the factors that affect a potential adop-tion. To explore this research gap, the authors derived a conceptual framework from the exist-ing literature along with el

Denna studie är gjord i samråd med en gymnasieskola i södra Sverige. Studien berör hur gymnasieelever ser på sin framtid i ljuset av pandemin Covid-19. Den empiriska undersökningen utfördes genom en tvärsektionell enkätundersökning som fanns tillgänglig för eleverna under två veckors tid. Undersökningen är grundad i Theory of planned behavior och de konstrukt som undersöks utgår ifrån Intention, AThis study was conducted alongside a high school in the south of Sweden. The study explores senior students perspective on their future in the light of the Covid-19 pandemic. The empirical material was collected through a cross-sectional online survey, available to the students during a 14 day period. This study is based in the Theory of planned behavior and the constructs that are examined in th

Carbon is the fourth most abundant element after hydrogen, helium and oxygen. It is a product of stellar nucleosynthesis as well as it being an important bio signature for life; this makes the analysis of carbon very fundamental. The origin of carbon and the relative contributions from massive and low-to-intermediate mass stars in producing it is still under debate. The principal focus of this the

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted industries across the globe and has forced organizations to respond. One example is the medical technology (medtech) sector in which small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) were impacted and had to respond strategically. Previous literature on crisis management is still immature in respect to strategic responses to this unique crisis. Therefore, the purpose of

Human trafficking is not only an offence in the eyes of the law, but a violation of human rights. The Palermo Protocol is the most widespread international legislation, and 178 countries are state parties to the treaty. The purpose of this dissertation is to investigate whether ratification of the Protocol has any effect on countries’ anti-trafficking efforts and/or the rate of victims per 100.000

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the relationship between varying leverage ratios and performance for large Swedish firms. With a recent trend of decreasing borrowing rates, it is more common for Swedish firms to have a larger portion of debt on their balance sheets. This trend makes it important to understand the effects changing leverage has on firm performance. The relationship between

Simultaneously the electrification and digitalization of societies all over the world sets high standards for the availability of power. As a result the power systems experience certain limitations and issues. This can partially be accredited to the decline of available disp

Employment is often more than just a way to make a living and a job loss might be one of life’s most stressful experiences. Aside from the financial hardship it causes, it may also affect individuals’ behaviors. This study examines the impact of unemployment on different health behaviors, namely alcohol and cigarette consumption, total physical activity and dietary patterns. This is done by using

The year of 2020 was marked with an unprecedented outbreak of Covid-19 virus and a global pandemic. Not all businesses across various industries have been equally affected. This thesis investigated the difference in return of industries with dissimilar exposure to the Covid-19 pandemic under the lockdown and social distance intervention, and how this difference has evolved during 2020. We found ev

This thesis work was done in collaboration with Knowit Experience in Malmö. Its main goal was to evaluate and develop an authentication module for the company’s e-commerce platform. Semi-structured interviews were held with software developers at the company to better understand their needs. Based around these needs an evaluation regarding price and usability was conducted for the authentication

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur heteronormativitet påverkar socialt arbete med våld i nära relationer bland samkönade par, baserat på socialarbetares utsagor. Vi hittade lite forskningen inom detta område, majoriteten av forskningen vi hittade var internationell. Vi ville utforska hur våld i nära relationer karaktäriseras hos samkönade par. Vi ville också utforska hur heteronormativiThe aim of this study was to explore how heteronormativity influences social work regarding domestic violence in same-sex couples, based off the experiences of social workers. The research we found regarding this subject was limited, especially in Sweden. We wanted to explore the characteristics of domestic violence within same-sex couples. We also wanted to explore how heteronormativity is expres

Denna uppsats undersöker fem centrala aktörer kring händelserna mellan statskupp och antagandet av en ny regeringsform i Sverige 1809. I traditionell historieskrivning, främst förespråkad av Fredrik Lagerroth, har dessa händelser beskrivits som en revolution.

Användandet av big data bland näringsidkare fortsätter öka exponentiellt vilket medför möjligheter men även flera risker. Datainsamling har infunnit sig centralt i gemene affärsmodell och data har beskrivits som den nya oljan. Andra sidan av myntet är att konsumenter har svårt att närvara online utan att lämna efter sig ett spår av data. Data som näringsidkare kan an- vända till att profilera anvä

Data-driven optimering en succé för skärande bearbetning Optimeringsmetod från maskininlärning mycket lovande vid användning för komplexa processer inom skärande bearbetning En otrolig mängd av industriell tillverkning idag förlitar sig på ett till synes enkelt koncept, att forma metall genom svarvning eller fräsning. Skärande bearbetning letar sin väg in i många industrier och alla sätt att ökThe purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of data-driven experimental design for the optimization of a hard coating for cutting tools in metal machining. The complexity of metal machining leads to difficulty in theoretically modeling and understanding the interactions and correlations between parameters and performance. Because of this and the importance of incremental perform
