Sustainable finance plays a crucial role in driving sustainable development forward, and as the market grows more accustomed to ESG measures and targets, novel debt instruments have been emerging as a result. Green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds are two financial instruments that play an important role in supporting sustainable development. In this study, these two bond types are examined t
Studien har strävat efter att utvärdera och undersöka det AI-baserade verktyget “TalkToAlba” (förkortas Alba) som ett hjälpmedel för vårdgivare inom psykisk hälsovård i behandling av patienter. Alba är ett multifacetterat verktyg som kan utföra kliniska intervjuer med patienter, ge förslag på diagnoser, föra journal samt tillhandahålla en plan för kognitiv beteendeterapi. En vårdgivare har haft möThe aspiration of this study has been to examine and evaluate the artificial intelligence tool “TalkToAlba” (Alba for short) as an aid for caregivers in mental health in their treatment of patients. Alba is a multifaceted tool that can conduct clinical interviews with patients, provide AI-based suggestions of diagnoses, keep journal entries and provide a plan for cognitive behavioral therapy.

En kvalitativ studie som syftar till att bidra med en ökad nyansering av mellanchefers roll i organisationsförändringar genom att se till hur de själva uppfattar rollen i fråga och vad den innefattar. Studien behandlar således frågeställningen: ”Hur ser varuhuschefer på sin roll i en organisationsförändring?” För att besvara denna frågeställning har en kvalitativ fallstudie gjorts på sju varuhus
The primary task of child forensic interviewers is to secure evidence without causing the child discomfort. Evidence obtained through incorrect interview techniques risks being denied in court. Research has shown that negative emotions such as sadness and anger can affect the interrogation negatively. The aim of this study was to gain new knowledge about the complexity that child interviewers face
Varje sekund blir du bombarderad av över 100 biljoner partiklar utan att märka någonting. Detta är för att partiklarna i fråga är neutriner, mycket mycket små partiklar, som nästan aldrig interagerar med någonting. De skapas i solen och färdas nästan helt obemärkta genom jorden. Men bara nästan obemärkta - om man har en tillräckligt stor detektor kan man se dem. Däremot kan det finnas en ny, hittiThe aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to investigate the potential for discovering sterile neutrinos or non-unitarity of the leptonic mixing matrix (LMM) at the European Spallation Source (ESS). Both sterile neutrinos and a non-unitary LMM have been suggested as origins of the LSND and MiniBooNE anomalies and in this work it is discussed to what extent these two models can be ruled out or confirmed
Välgrundade förutsägelser av olika livsmedels kvalitet och säkerhet är mycket viktiga för att förebygga matsvinn. Ofta görs dessa förutsägelser med hjälp av lagringsstudier där produkten lagras i förhållanden som simulerar produktens väg från producent till dagligvaruhandel. Dessa studier kräver mycket resurser och tid, vilket belyser behovet av accelererade hållbarhetsstudier – som är baserade påAccurate predictions about the quality and safety of food are critical to prevent food waste. Often, food is stored in conditions simulating a product’s way from production to retail, which allows producers to assess quality and safety during the product’s shelf life. These storage trials are costly and time-consuming, meaning that there is incentive to reduce the testing time. Accelerated shelf-l
The aim of the study was to evaluate care given at a diabetes foot clinic from the patient's perspective. A comparison between Swedish- and foreign-born patients with severe diabetic foot ulcers/problems concerning their experiences of the content and organisation of health care was made. A qualitative, descriptive study design was chosen and a consecutive sampling procedure was used. Fifteen
The world of social media is here to stay, and while it offers plenty of opportunities for employers and organizations it is also said to be the biggest challenge for professional com-municators. Through employee advocacy, individuals can communicate the message of their organization to their whole network with merely the click of a button. But what makes the individual want to be an ambassador fo
The Philippines is an island nation in South East Asia consisting of more than 7 000 separate islands. The Philippines is the country in the world that is most often struck by tropical storm; every year between 6 and 9 typhoons hit land in the Philippines. In November 2013 the super typhoon Haiyan hit the nation, killing 10 000 people and causing massive destruction to parts of the infrastructure
This is a Bachelor’s thesis on the subject of EU foreign relations with the Andean Community and its most recent political development. The thesis seeks to describe the political ideas behind the European Union’s foreign policy and external relations with the Andean Community, such as they are stated in the Regional Strategy Paper (2007-2013) and the Political Dialogue & Cooperation Agreement
Today, bioethanol is predominately produced with conventional feedstock that may not be desired for ethanol production due to their primary food and animal feed value. Therefore, lignocellulosic biomass, a relatively cheap and non-food competitive biomass has received attention. However, the complexity of lignocellulosic biomass poses challenges to developing a large-scale production process compe
Smittspridning via luften är ett av de mest förekommande sätten för sjukdomsutbredning, men mycket kring processen och överlevnaden av luftburna mikroorganismer är fortfarande okänt. Epidemiologiska studier för att undersöka sjukdomars utbredning räcker inte till och kontrollerade laboratoriestudier behövs för att kunna dra slutsatser kring vilka parametrar som påverkar överlevnaden av mikroorgani
This thesis intends to investigate what are the driving forces behind the shopper's decision-making process in high-end designed tableware products and what is the role of the in-store marketing in the process. The authors of the research have found that there is a lack of knowledge about the consumer’s buying behavior in that segment and therefore it was decided the empirical part of the rese
Denna studie ämnar till att undersöka professionaliseringens och den ökade kon-kurrensens påverkan på humanitära organisationer samt hur förändringen påverkar deras kommunikation gentemot medlemmarna och bidragsgivarna. För att konkre-tisera det valda ämnet är denna studie en fallstudie med Rädda Barnen som fall. Studien och analysen är av en kvalitativ typ och vårt empiriska material består av inThe aim of this paper is to examine how the professionalization and the increased competition affect humanitarian organizations, as well as how the changes affect the communication with their members and contributors. We are carrying out a case study of the Save the Children organization in order to concretize the chosen subject. The study and analysis is of a qualitative type and our empirical ma
Earlier studies have shown that both gender and masculine or feminine traits affects judgement about a person's qualities. This study builds upon earlier research and investigates the relation between voice and appearance with respect to gender based stereotype judgement, by letting participants listen to and then rate two of totally eight different digital characters, four female and four mal
This thesis presents findings from a study about the challenges international master’s degree students have to undergo when they decide to study at Lund University, a university situated in the South of Sweden. The study involved interviews of 7 international students from different national backgrounds. Emerging from the analysis is the perception that respondents have to face several identity ch
El Niño and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) have a great impact on global climate, often with disas-trous effects in many parts of the world. The carbonate skeleton of corals record El Niño activity by tracing sea surface temperature and salinity in the oceans where they grow. As El Niño’s core region is the equatorial Pacific Ocean, this is where the most direct consequences of ENSO are seen, com
An extensive part of the road network in Sweden still consists of gravel roads, but operation and maintenance of these roads is complex due to the Swedish climate and the low traffic volume. This report further examines how operation and maintenance of gravel roads is executed and how it can be done in a cost effective way. In order to do so, the report contains both a literature study and a field
