Aid volatility is one of the main topics in the discussion of aid effectiveness in developing countries. The energy sector is relevant for the achievement of sustainable development because this sector holds strong linkages to diverse SDGs. Unlike previous studies that claim the energy sector exhibits higher aid volatility in developing countries compared to developed countries. This thesis aims t
The aim of this paper is to examine the media coverage of Antena 3 on the anti-lockdown protests that took place on 2 October 2021 in Bucharest, Romania, as a way of understanding the impact on the public narratives and political discourse of the employment of conspiracy theories by the media. By exploring the allure, politicization, and mentality of conspiracy theories, along with utilizing disc
Byggproduktion idag, innebär bland annat en hög energianvändning, utsläpp av växthusgaser, användning av miljöfarliga ämnen samt stora mängder avfall som måste hanteras. Detta är aspekter som samtliga behöver minskas för att reducera branschens stora miljöpåverkan. Inom byggsektorn har klimatarbetet fått en alltmer ökad uppmärksamhet med införandet av olika klimatkrav på nationell och EU-nivå. I oCarbon offsets, essential in climate-related aspirations for governments and businesses, entail reducing, avoiding, or extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, even if not contemporaneous with emissions. They include, among others, energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy investments. These compensations, voluntary or regulated, must meet reliability criteria. Actions, such as Carbo
Owing to a forecasted 53% increase in therapeutic peptide requirement until 2026 – corresponding to almost 23 tonnes of product – a high pressure will be put on the peptide manufacturing industry. Not only because of the increased demand, but also due to the important role of solvents in peptide synthesis. The peptide business will face challenges as stricter regulations from chemical authorities
Syfte och frågeställning: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka gemensamma konsumtion genom att kombinera kollektiva praktikdynamiker och teorier om sociala kundresor och således undersöka vilka aspekter som påverkar köpbeslut, planeringsstrategier och gemensamma konsumtionsupplevelser inom parförhållanden. Studien ämnar att besvara frågan; Hur fattar par köpbeslut i dagligvaruhandeln? Metod:
This master’s thesis investigates the utilisation of generative AI within traditional banking institutions, emphasising value creation, challenges, and strategic facilitators. Previous research underscores the importance of these areas in the context of generative AI's novel application in traditional banks. Findings reveal that traditional banks primarily employ generative AI for internal ope
Fraud is a crime that causes severe economic damage, and crime rates are rising because of technological advancements. There is a research gap regarding how fraud crime prevention is organised and which actors are important for it. This thesis aimed to explore how the rising occurrence of cyber fraud is addressed on a societal level, using the civil, banking, governmental, and business sectors. It
Forskningsfråga - Vilken betydelse har språkbruket mellan medarbetare för deras upplevelse av psykologisk trygghet? Syfte - Med utgångspunkt i psykologisk trygghet och med hjälp av teorier om social underminering och kommunikativ anpassningsteroi, undersöker denna uppsats vilken betydelse medarbetarnas språkbruk har för utvecklingen av en psykologisk trygghet på arbetsplatser i Sverige. Detta då This thesis investigates the significance of the language used between colleagues for their experience of psychological safety in Swedish workplaces. Utilising theories of social undermining and communicative accommodation theory, the study addresses the lack of knowledge about employees' contributions to developing psychological safety and the importance of language in this context. The stu
In recent years, social marketing, particularly LGBTQ+ advocacy, has become increasingly prevalent in many brands' communication techniques, gaining significant attention. However, few attempts have been made to study its practical and strategic aspects and develop a framework for successful social marketing endeavors that companies can implement with minimal risk of failure. This study aims t
One of the principal targets in the observational study of galactic evolution is the Milky Way, which represents the optimal subject for our capacity of resolving individual stellar proper- ties and thus inferring its history. Despite this focus, the central regions of our Galaxy, characterized by a bulge and a bar, remain a mystery. The confluence of diverse stellar populations, such as metal-ric
There is a strong need to replace animal-based experiments with in vitro alternatives. Mutz-3, a myeloid cell line, has been successfully used to investigate skin sensitization. A problem with in vitro assays, not only affecting Mutz-3, is the use of Fetal Bovine Serum for cell cultivation, as it is a serum supplement which is not fully defined, and it introduces variability in cell-based experime
Although different types of affinity tags have become a tool in the production and purification of recombinant proteins in various applications, the use of these have the risk of interfering with the biological activity and crystallization of proteins.There are both chemical and enzymatic ways to remove these tags, the enzymes include enteropeptidase, thrombokinase and protease to mention a few. T
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the potential to radically transform various industries in the coming years, yet its impact on higher education remains underexplored. This study investi-gates how AI tools are integrated and utilised by teachers in higher education, employing a qualitative method and abductive approach to examine internal and external dimensions of AI readiness that influence te
This thesis investigates the impact of the African Union's Digital Transformation Strategy, published in 2020 amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the digital progress of African countries. To see the progress of African countries, this study introduces the Digital Transformation Fundamentals Index, covering institutional, social, infrastructural, and economic dimensions of the dig
In the automotive industry today, safety is of highest priority. ASIL is a safety standard that quantifies risk. This project investigates how a redundant speed estimate in a sensorless BLDC motor can be developed to meet ASIL B requirements. The proposed solution involves tracking the shape of the phase curve to determine the angular velocity. This is accomplished by changing the boundaries on th
The recent 2019 COVID pandemic elucidated the tremendous effects a viral outbreak can have on the societies of the world with almost 7 million cumulative deaths worldwide. It is therefore of high importance to prepare preventative measures to aid the handling of emerging viral threats before a new pandemic is realized. One of the more prevalent and rapidly spreading viruses today are the Dengue vi
Denna studie har som mål att undersöka anknytningsmönster hos unga vuxna i relation till närvaron av fäder. För att skapa en förståelse för hur fäders närvaro under barndomen påverkar anknytningen genomfördes en enkät konstruerad specifikt för studiens ändamål. Totalt deltog 152 personer i åldern 18 till 35 år. Enkäten bestod av två huvuddelar; den första delen inkluderade 12 skattningsfrågor som
We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements
The aviation industry contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, demanding the adoption of sustainable practices. Digital nudging, described as the use of design elements in user interfaces to guide decision-making, can encourage sustainability in aviation. This research aims to explore the perceptions and responses of passengers towards digital nudges aimed at promoting sustainable behaviour in air
Urban flooding presents a significant challenge in developing cities, where rapid urbanisation, population growth, and infrastructure development intersect with natural processes and climate change. This study examines how governance structures influence urban flood management in Ruiru, Kenya. Through thematic analysis, this study explores local experiences with flooding, evaluates existing govern
