Automatiseringen har stora effekter på dagens arbetsliv, och branscher inom kategorin “viktiga samhällsfunktioner” är särskilt viktiga att inblick i då de har en avgörande funktion för att upprätthålla samhällets grundläggande värden. Därför riktar sig uppsatsen in på att analysera hur automatisering framställs i branschspecifika tidningar för industriell, finansiell och juridisk sektor. Genom att
Local knowledge in vulnerable communities can be vital when developing adaptation and mitigation strategies especially as issues such as sea level rise in Falsterbo become more prominent as global warming increases. At present, traditional local knowledge is often explored within indigenous communities but significantly less so in western communities. The importance of local knowledge, in regards
This thesis investigates whether there is a difference in yield to maturity at issuance for green bonds, called greenium, in the Nordics compared to some Western European countries. By using cross-sectional data for 2602 green bonds and conventional bonds. We perform coarsened exact matching (CEM) to match green bonds to similar conventional bonds and conduct a regression to investigate if there a

Background: Recent research has begun to challenge the traditional view of conscientiousness as solely beneficial, suggesting a potential reverse-U-shaped relationship with subjective well-being (SWB). Yet, while some studies have found this curvilinear association, overall findings remain inconsistent. This study proposes the limited conceptualization and measurement of conscientiousness within
The purpose of the expansionary monetary policy pursued by the Riksbank in 2015–22 was to stimulate the economy and increase the excessively low inflation, in a situation where interest rates were lowered to zero. A common criticism that the Riksbank has received is that the negative policy rate in combination with quantitative easing was a mistake. I analyzed the consequences of expansionary mone
This thesis investigates the relationship between demographic ageing and economic growth in Japan, updating existing literature with more empirical evidence from recent decades. It conducts its investigations through OLS regressions on macro-level time series data for Japan. The paper finds empirical evidence which suggests that the relationship between demographic ageing and economic growth is no
During the last two decades, corporate ESG practices have garnered significant attention from the global community. The development of responsible business practices in association with sustainability and the integration of stakeholders has become an important topic for firms reputation, their debt financing cost and long-term success. Drawing upon the stakeholder theory, where a firm's succes
Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det finns en eventuell bias i bedömningen av intelligens baserat på skattad attraktivitet. En online-enkät utformades och innehöll bilder på två män och två kvinnor med uttalanden av olika kompetensnivåer. För att kontrollera attraktivitetsvariabeln användes bilder från en databas som har befintliga värden för uppfattad attraktivitet. Enkäten delades upp i fThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether there might be an underlying bias in the assessment of intelligence based on perceived attractiveness. An online survey was developed, each containing images of two men and two women, accompanied by statements of varying complexity levels. To control for the attractiveness variable, images were sourced from a database with pre-existing attractiv
The 21st century is the pick of technological achievements, vividly advancing and integrating with our daily lives. Things that were considered very futuristic even at the beginning of this century are now in use by people. Perhaps one of the most distinctive and futuristic technologies that were invented and developed is artificial intelligence. Of course, its foundation goes to the year 1956 but
Purpose: This thesis aims to investigate the effect of fitness influencers on the social media platform Instagram on users’ state self-esteem. In particular, the effects on users’ appearance, social, and performance state self-esteem are examined for distinct body types of the fitness influencers. Furthermore, this study aims to test a moderation effect of users’ perceived physical condition on th
Supply chain management (SCM) and packaging solutions are essential in the food industry due to their impact on the environment and economics, necessitating innovation. How to efficiently move goods through the supply chain therefore involves a complex network involving a great amount of stakeholders and processes. Food distribution logistics are particularly complex, requiring standard procedures
Förbättring av plasmidtransfektion till celler är av yttersta vikt vid forskning och behandling av sjukdomar baserat på genetiska tillvägagångssätt. Utvecklingen av omfattande, säkra, effektiva och skalbara metoder att införa genetiskt material i celler utgör en teknisk utmanande uppgift. Sonoporering, där trycket från ultraljudvågor orsakar perforering i cellmembranet, vilket möjliggör transfektiImproving plasmid transfection into cells is crucial in genetic disease research and treatment. The development of comprehensive, safe, effective, and scalable methods for introducing genetic material into cells poses a technically challenging task. Sonoporation, which utilizes pressure from ultrasonic waves to induce perforations in the cell membrane, enabling transfection, is an evolving method
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambanden mellan attityder till miljön, personlighet och empati, samt huruvida personlighet och empati kan predicera miljöattityder. Detta gjordes genom en tvärsnittsstudie där målgruppen utgjorde unga vuxna i åldrarna 18-30 som rekryterades genom ett bekvämlighetsurval på sociala medier. I studien deltog 100 respondenter och svar samlades in genom ett fråThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between environmental attitudes, personality and empathy, and whether personality and empathy can predict environmental attitudes. This was done through a cross-sectional study where the target group was young adults aged 18-30 who were recruited through convenience sampling on social media. 100 respondents participated in the study an
This study focuses on irregular migratory movements, and the mistreatment suffered by migrants, at the Southern Frontier of Europe, specifically at the Spanish-Moroccan border, from an international criminal law approach. The main question is whether the conduct of the security forces against migrants can be considered crimes against humanity and should therefore be investigated. The “problem” of
Bio-based and ecological buildings are gaining global importance, with straw bale constructions as one of the possible choices in Europe. Straw bale buildings are classified into load-bearing, non-load-bearing, and hybrid techniques. Load-bearing and non-load-bearing methods have been studied extensively in past decades whilst hybrid methods, such as CUT (Cells Under Tension) techniques have been
Historically, the correlation between stocks and bonds has exhibited stable patterns, often maintaining either a positive or negative sign over extended periods. Empirical evidence also shows, however, that this correlation tends to fluctuate due to various economic factors. This thesis aims to explore the presence of variation over time in the stock-bond correlation and to identify the factors re
Research question: How do consumer motivations differ in response to the use of the term vintage compared to second-hand, influencing willingness to buy? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate young adults’ motivations and willingness to buy in the context of preowned fashion. Through a comparative study, from a consumer perspective, this study aims to understand how terms like seco
