The strategy focuses on creating inclusive environments, enhancing social interactions, and promoting the formation of communities through the use of technology and the establishment of third places. The proposed design, named The

The increasing frequency, duration and intensity of climate hazards is causing organisations and their assets to become more exposed and vulnerable to climate change. Numerous regulations, legislations and policies have emerged, mandating that organisations include climate risk and vulnerability assessments into their business operations. In response, various methodologies have emerged from the co

This report addresses power losses in an electric motor arising from various sources. The choice of motor control strategy can decrease efficiency if not implemented correctly or if the motor model in the control loop is overly simplified. BorgWarner, a key manufacturer of automotive components, experienced a significant increase in energy losses and reduced performance when switching their BLDC m

En svag korrelation identifierades mellan hållbart beteende och TPB-modellen, där positiva attityder inte motsvarade faktiska handlingar. Dessutom prioriterar konsumenter bekvämlighet över hållbarhet, vilket kan förklaras genom TPB-modellen och en tendens att fokusera på egna behov framför samhällsproblem

Since 1956, the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) has become one of the most popular entertainment events in the world. Each year, countries across Europe compete in a competition with original songs. While the majority of the entries includes a notion of European or national identity, there have been various performers from minority communities throughout the years. This thesis aimed to study the per

Majoriteten av flerbostadshus i Sverige uppförs idag i betong. Genom uppförande i trä kan en reducering av koldioxidekvivalenter under byggprocessen och byggindustrins utsläpp av växthusgaser uppnås. Träkonstruktioner ger dock i högre utsträckning upphov till störande vibrationer vilket minskar byggnadernas attraktivitet. Det är därför av intresse att undersöka för vilka situationer respektive byg

Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent

How can passionate love and burning hatred exist within the same social context, and how can fellowship and belongingness lead to violence between supporters? This study identified a lack of academic knowledge regarding a supporter perspective on the connection between fellowship within supporter culture and soccer related violence. Thus the purpose of this study was to explore why some supporters

Research Question: How has diversity impacted performance in the Asian, European and American divisions of Education First? Methodology: A qualitative case study using an abductive approach, aiming to detect how national corporate diversity impacts performance. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 senior managers of Education First, providing empirical findings that were triangulated

Då man producerar cement släpps koldioxid ut från både förbränningen av bränslet och kalcineringen av kalksten för att bilda bränd kalk. En del av koldioxiden, motsvarande den som släpps ut vid kalcineringen, kommer kunna absorberas av den härdade betongen. Denna process kallas karbonatisering och rör sig som en front från betongens yta och inåt. Ett sätt som ibland används för att bygga miljövänlWhen producing cement, carbon dioxide is released from both the combustion of the fuel and the calcination of limestone to form quicklime. Part of this carbon dioxide, corresponding to that released during calcination, can be absorbed by the hardened concrete by a process called carbonation that moves like a front from the surface of the concrete inwards. One way that is sometimes used to build mo

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the post-buyout effect on employment growth in LBOs relative to targets that were not subject to an LBO. Additionally, the study aims to provide an up-to-date insight into the impact of employment productivity post-buyout of the LBOs relative to non-LBOs, as the climate of buyouts have changed since its inception. Methodology: The econometr

This study analyses the factors that contributed to the collective behaviour of the mob at the January 6th Capitol riot and which factors were most influential. Previous studies have primarily relied on motive and justification in explaining prevention means and in part the actions of crowds during riots. However, have been unable to provide an in-depth understanding of a crowd’s collective behavi

This thesis analyses how conspiracy narratives are used to negotiate a collective identity within the global branch of the Freedom Convoy movement. To better understand what common conspiracies are present and how they function for the group’s collective identity, this paper is based on empirical data from text messages and memes shared in a group chat on Telegram, an instant messaging platform. W

The push-pull design has been shown to increase DSC performance through the introduction of electron-withdrawing groups and electron-donating groups, usually on opposite far ends of the sensitizer. The scope of this thesis was to synthesize several pre-N-heterocyclic carbene ligand analogs that are inspired by the push-pull design in an attempt to investigate their susceptibility to Fe(II) complex
