People's preferences for income inequality vary, and this research investigates the influence of socioeconomic status on these preferences. Drawing on a structural position theory that considers individuals’ self-interest and rationality to be driven by their socioeconomic status, this paper examines the extent to which socioeconomic status affects the likelihood of accepting income inequality
While previous research has primarily focused on the sources and causes shaping attitudes towards artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, this research attempts to shed light on the communication efforts employed by autonomous vehicle companies. Using qualitative content analysis of the website material from three distinct SAE level 5 autonomous vehicle organizations, the study aims to ac
In this thesis I study international space law’s rules on international responsibility and international liability for private satellite launches. I have used a legal dogmatic method to interpret these rules, before subjecting them to an economic analysis on how they will affect the behaviour of private actors and States. Finally I propose solutions to increase the economic efficiency of three dif
In this thesis the effects of utilizing the sample covariance matrix in the estimation of the global minimum variance (GMV) portfolio are presented. When the number of assets, N, are close to the number of observations, T, the sample covariance matrix approaches singularity, leading to a lot of uncertainties in form of estimation error. Due to that the computations of the sample GMV portfolio are
Introduction: The forest industry might not be the first thing to come to mind when thinking of chemistry, but the analysis of cooking chemicals in wood pulping involves many laboratory methods. Background: The chemical recovery cycle is an integral part of the Kraft process, which makes laboratory analyses of different steps of the process necessary. In the recovery boiler, sulfur is reduced to
Malmö is the third largest city in Sweden, located in the southern part of the country. It has become more common that established enterprises, both Swedish and foreign-owned, actively choose to relocate their businesses to Malmö. As foreign direct investment, FDI, plays an important role in a region’s globalization process, these establishments benefit the host region in several ways. Even though
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI
With the aim of widening the picture of a Late Iron Age warrior society in central Blekinge by studying the social role of its women, female cremation burials have been identified and their material studied. Artefacts and their combinations have been interpreted and their suggested meanings compared with contemporary iconography as well as with Anglo-Saxon and Norse literary sources. The grave mat
To promote sustainable manufacturing and lower industrial emissions, GE HealthCare is constantly assessing new approaches to improve their production processes. As a global manufacturer of contrast media, their potential for positive societal impact is significant. In addition to sustainability, a pharmaceutical production process is required to deliver products of high purity. This means that the
While an exit tax regime satisfies principles like fiscal sovereignty, fiscal territoriality, source and benefit as well as it can find justification in them at a national level, other conflicting issues arise. For instance, from the perspective of an individual, this can lead to double taxation when the Host State does not accept a step-up or deduction for the value on which taxes have already be
This thesis examines the Indonesian Government Regulation 25/24, which enables re-ligious organizations to obtain mining concessions, focusing on the socio-legal ten-sions, and power dynamics between the government, regulation, and religious organi-zations. The thesis’ primary purpose is to critically analyze how regulation that is pre-sented in neutral and technocratic language and can be utilize
This thesis explores the potential of vernacular architecture in contemporary design through the proposal of a community centre for Kitini Secondary School in Godawari, Nepal. The project is grounded in a site-specific, research-led design methodology, informed by fieldwork, material studies, and community engagement. It explores how traditional Nepali building practices, particularly the use of l
Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate. In this paper I – through a theoretical framework that conceptualises a political context as a historically located totality and defines the quest for political legitimacy as a constraint that can be used to make inferences about the behaviour and actions prefer
The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle
Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation demand humanity to depart from the growth imperative forming the economic structure of the world. In other words: Structural transformation is needed. Much of the sustainability debate in academy, politics, media and the public revolves around two paradigms: minor changes within the current system (e.g. green consumption, green growth) or
Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin
Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
