Methodology: The study uses binary logistic regression to examine how firms, industry, and macroeconomic characteristics in

Att mäta framgång i byggprojekt idag kan vara svårt. Dels att hitta en samsyn på vad framgång är dels hur man ska mäta framgång. Genom den forskning som finns inom området kan man konstatera att det är äldre metoder som används än idag för att mäta framgång. Dessa metoder har även modifierats med tiden och bildat nya metoder. De vanligaste områdena att mäta för att förstå framgång i forskning är tMeasuring success in construction projects today can be difficult—partly due to the lack of consensus on what success is, and partly due to the challenge of how to measure it. Existing research shows that older methods are still used to measure success, though many of these have been modified over time and evolved into new approaches. The most common aspects evaluated in research when measuring su

The increasing frequency of facade fires, often exacerbated by combustible cladding systems, has emphasized the need for passive fire protection strategies. Among these, horizontal projections—such as balconies, canopies, and deflectors—have emerged as potential fire safety elements. This thesis investigates the influence of horizontal projections on thermal exposure and lateral flame spread acros

The present thesis aims to assess the efficacy of the GDPR in managing personal data breaches in healthcare. To fulfil its purpose, we have analysed the legal basis for processing sensitive personal health data and we have set the following research question: To what extent does the GDPR prevent personal health data breaches as well as mitigate their impact on data subjects?

In recent years, the rise of tradwife-influencers on platforms such as TikTok has brought attention to the resurfacing of conservative gender roles. This study explores how these influencers frame a conservative ideology on TikTok and thereby functions as ideological intermediaries. Using framing and priming theory as the analytical lens, a multimodal qualitative frame analysis on twenty posts was

Vid byggnation av vägar och järnvägar i Sverige idag används nästan uteslutande ändliga resurser som bergkross eller naturgrus som ballastmaterial. Det är av stort intresse att undersöka om till exempel återvunnet material och restprodukter från industrier skulle kunna användas i stället. För detta ändamål byggdes en testväg i november 2024 inne på en avfallsanläggning i Helsingborg. Vägen, som foDuring construction of roads and railways in Sweden today, mainly finite resources such as crushed rock or natural gravel, are being used as ballast material. It is of great interest to investigate whether, for instance, recycled materials and residual products from industries could be used instead. For this purpose, a test road was constructed in November of 2024 in a waste facility in Helsingbor

This project explores the design of a modular, wall-mounted shelving system that merges the practicality of hardware storage with the refined aesthetic of contemporary furniture. Driven by an interest in modularity and metal as a design material, the project investigates how adaptability, sustainability and visual clarity can coexist in a single solution. The result is a system constructed in recy

This research explores the lived experiences of a group of Chinese diasporas in Stockholm, Sweden, who migrated through unanticipated opportunities rather than long-term planning. In contrast to dominant Chinese cultural values prioritizing stability, careful life planning, and risk aversion, these individuals made bold, transformative decisions to embrace uncertain immigration journeys without pr

In today's media landscape, podcasts have become a central platform for personal storytelling, entertainment and marketing. With its conversational and audio-based structure, podcasts offer unique conditions for building credibility and authenticity through language. While previous research has examined authenticity in digital media and rhetorical techniques separately, there is still limited

Purpose: To investigate whether the U.S.-centred M&A literature translates to the heterogeneous European markets by analysing the impact of economic distress, uncertainty, and relatedness on stock performance. Methodology: This thesis utilises an event study to provide a perspective on immediate M&A announcement impacts. Subsequently, we examine the acquirer’s post-announcement performanc

Titeln på detta arbete, Häng med i svängarna!, kommer från en av våra frågeställningar: ”Vilka färdigheter bör en modern trumslagare inneha för att vara så förberedd som möjligt på dagens musikaliska landskap?” Detta grundar sig i en idé om att en modern trumslagare bör införskaffa sig de moderna färdigheter som behövs för att helt enkelt hänga med i svängarna, eller att hänga med i det moderna. SGet with the groove, the title of this study, is derived from one of our central research questions: ”What skills should a modern drummer possess in order to be as prepared as possible for today’s musical landscape?” This question stems from the idea that today’s drummer must acquire contemporary skills necessary to – quite simply – get with the groove: to stay relevant and in sync with the demand

This thesis examines the challenges faced by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in obtaining standard essential patent (SEP) licenses when entering the European market. It focuses on the SEP licensing framework within the European automotive industry, with particular attention to the Avanci patent pool and its representative licensing practices. By analyzing several Avanci-related cases i

This thesis argues that the escalating and protracted violence in Mexico, commonly known as the ‘war on drugs,’ constitutes a non-international armed conflict (NIAC) under international humanitarian law (IHL), calling for a formal application of this legal framework. Despite its devastating humanitarian consequences, the conflict is often mischaracterised within a law enforcement paradigm, contrib

The construction industry is a very traditional sector. The construction supply chain is very complex and fragmented since every project is site-based and unique. The distinctive nature of the construction industry is its heavy reliance on subcontracting. A common practice in the industry is to organize projects with a tier of subcontractors working for a main contractor. Since it is a knowledge-i

Denna uppsats undersöker vilka skadetyper från skadeinventeringar som initierar underhåll, samt hur väl Trafikverkets riktlinjer för spårdjup och IRI (International Roughness Index), som vanligtvis används på nationella vägar, speglar underhållsbehov i kommuner. Malmö, Sveriges tredje största stad, förvaltar ett omfattande vägnät på cirka 100 mil, där cirka 3 % årligen underhålls eller byts ut, inThis thesis investigates which damage types in condition surveys trigger maintenance and how well the Swedish Transport Administration’s standards for rut depth and IRI (International Roughness Index), typically used on national roads, reflect maintenance needs in municipalities. Malmö, Sweden’s third-largest city, maintains an extensive road network of about 1000 kilometers, with 3% repaired or r

Greywater, which comes from household sources such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing, is typically less polluted than toilet wastewater and can be treated and reused. In Helsingborg, Sweden, the RecoLab collects and treats greywater from Oceanhamnen separately as part of a source-separated wastewater system. However, the system has experienced is-sues with filamentous bacteria overgrowth, raisi

In today’s increasingly trade protectionist world with substantial tariffs being announced by major economies, it is important to understand the effects of such measures. The United States (US) under the lead of the Trump administration has announced significant tariffs during 2025, one of which is a 25 percent tariff on steel imports. Similarly, during Trump’s first presidency term, the US impose
