Games are not a new method of teaching in education; however, their impact is not well understood in Entrepreneurial Education. These two concepts have been merged in the past with mostly quantitative approaches viewing existing structures. This study contributes to the combination by inductively elaborating on a gamified experience (The Mount Everest Challenge) by presenting the perception of stu

The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. Oriented strand board (OSB) is one of these timber composite

Historiska synder leder till nutida problem Att lägga sopor på hög har historiskt sett varit ett mycket populärt sätt att hantera avfall i Sverige. Att det var ett smidigt sätt då, innebär inte att dessa gamla handlingar är enkla att hantera idag. En av de problem som det gamla avfallet för med sig är bildning av växthusgaser som kan läcka ut från avfallsupplagen. För att leva upp till ParisavtalGlobal warming is a global issue which needs to be targeted sooner rather than later. One source of greenhouse gases, especially methane, is landfills. An obstacle for reducing these emissions in Sweden is the lack of national recommendation regarding which method should be used to quantify methane emissions from landfills. In this study, a literature review has been conducted to summarize availab

Studien ämnade undersöka huruvida det finns någon korrelation mellan social dominansorientering och kreativitet. Efter en teoretisk genomgång av de, för studien, centrala psykologiska konstrukten introduceras de tre hypoteserna och frågeställningen; “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med kreativitet”, “Social dominans samvarierar negativt med psykologisk flexibilitet”, “Social dominans samvarieThe study aimed to investigate whether there exists a correlation between social dominance orientation and creativity. After a theoretical review of the psychological constructs central to the study, the three hypotheses and the scientific question are introduced; “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with creativity”, “Social dominance orientation co-varies negatively with psychologi

How civil society perceives climate change communication by outlets is key for sustainable development. Being predicted to get largely impacted due to climate change and having a great influence on future sustainability outcomes, young people are an important group to focus on in the field of perception and climate change communication. Therefore, this research aims to determine where young people

Risk attitudes influence a wide range of financial decisions in the household, such as investments, consumption, and savings. It is, therefore, crucial to understand risk attitudes and how they change throughout the life cycle, in order to determine and predict economic behavior. In this study, we investigate the impact of changes in family structure on individuals' financial risk attitudes by

I detta arbete jämförs det svenska diskrimineringsskyddet i arbetslivet med rättigheterna i FN:s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättning CRPD. Särskilt behandlas bestämmelsen om bristande tillgänglighet. Syftet är att ge personer med funktionshinder ett effektivt medel till att uppnå lika rättigheter och möjligheter i samhället.

Digitalisering är något som genomsyrar hela dagens samhälle. Fastighetsbranschen är trögrörlig när det kommer till digitalisering och investering i teknik. Bolag som AirBnB och WeWork har tagit sig in på olika fastighetsmarknader och skapat affärsmodeller som konkurrerar på kontors- och hotellmarknaden. Även om bolag i fastighetsbranschen uppfattar detta är det fortfarande en sektor med traditioneWords such as digitalization and PropTech are appearing in research and impacting organizations within the real estate industry and though out society. The real estate sector is known to be slow on investing and implementing technology.

Detecting anomalies in loT sensor devices for humidity is crucial for the maintenance and safety of households and buildings. An Auto-Encoder (AE) can detect anomalies in sensor data. However, the reality is that most sensor data is unlabelled, while it is recommended to use labelled data when training the model for anomaly detection with AE. Therefore together with Sensative AB we developed a Lon

För att förstå atomkärnans struktur är det framgångsrikt att studera exotiska kärnor med ett skevt förhållande mellan antalet protoner och neutroner. Sådana kärnor är dock mycket instabila och således svåra att bilda och analysera. Ett sätt att skapa dem är genom fusion-evaporationsreaktioner, då två kärnor kollideras och därvid sammansmälter. Den nybildade kärnan sönderfaller ögonblickligen genomThis work is aimed at improving the discrimination of protons and α particles in digitised signals from CsI(Tl) scintillators. This has been achieved using pulse-shape discrimination, wherein the shape of the pulses is used to learn which particle is detected. Two primary methods have been implemented and compared, namely, the charge-comparison method where the ratio between the integrals of two d
