The ongoing climate change calls for an immediate decarbonization of society, where one important measure is a rapid transition of the energy system through an expansion of variable renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar photovoltaic power production. This transition imposes new challenges to the electrical power system, not least from a power balance perspective. This master’s thesis r

The growing number of users and the changes in customer behaviour over the last few years caused new hype in the e-commerce industry. This imposed pressure resulted in some technical disruptions in those systems. Software development teams responsible for creating and maintaining these systems, in their turn, were affected by the sudden shift to remote work. The current study aims to investigate s

Denna studie genomfördes i Sverige med syftet att erbjuda ett nytt perspektiv på ämnet turnover och hur olika faktorer påverkar beslutet att säga upp sig från jobbet eller stanna kvar. Med detta syfte undersökte studien de sex faktorerna lön och förmåner, miljö, karriärmöjligheter, kollegiala aspekter, meningsfullhet och balans mellan arbete och privatliv, som har ansetts vara några av de mest inf

Exchange rate pass-through to prices differ depending on the underlying shock. Furthermore, the mechanisms causing inflation behave diversely, conditional on why the exchange rate fluctuates. This paper investigates how prices react relative to the exchange rate movements, i.e., the exchange rate pass-through, following specific shocks, how the frequency of price adjustment is affected by shocks,

Samtida forskning om psykisk hälsa och välbefinnande har tagit upp behovet av att fördjupa vår förståelse om ungdomslivets beskaffenhet och sammanhang. Vårt forskningssyfte är att undersöka positiva och negativa erfarenheter gällande skola, familj, vänner och fritid hos ett urval av svenska 13–19-åringar. Vi använder ramverksanalys för att organisera data och närmar oss analysen genom att använda

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore what may facilitate or inhibit a stronger corporate brand orientation in a retail organization. We explore the factors of internal corporate brand identity elements, internal corporate brand image and internal branding, while also considering retail-specific characteristics. To do so, we investigate the internal perspective of the corporate

PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) är en skolbaserad intervention som har visats öka elevers självreglering, främja prosociala beteenden och hämma utmanande beteenden. Det finns dock begränsad kunskap kring hur deltagande elever känner inför interventionen. Vi genomförde semistrukturerade intervjuer och enkätundersökningar med elever i 3:e klass i Sverige för att undersöka deras känslor kring och at

Studies show that employees are an organisation’s most important asset. Therefore, an employer needs to attract the desired future employees. Currently, core values appear frequently on employers’ websites. Core values could consequently operate as a part of external employer branding to attract candidates. The question remains whether core values matter to future employees when considering workin

The global food industry is the second main contributor to climate change whilst climate change also poses threats to future food security (Ritchie & Roser, 2020). One of the suggestions to decrease the environmental footprint of consumption and increase the resilience of food systems, is the shift to local production and consumption (Stein & Santini, 2021; Van Gameren et al., 2015). Howev

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the contingencies of a hybrid work environment for managers and teams in knowledge-intensive firms, more specifically in consultancies. The aim is to evaluate the type of leadership behavior that is facilitated by the hybrid work environment and how the existing team dynamics translate into and influence the experience of hybrid work. Theoretical L

The number of diplomatic actors that use social media platforms to communicate with the publics has increased in the past years. Yet, these communicative approaches are still poorly researched. Moreover, the few studies from diplomacy and the ones from communication that explore two-way communication on social media present contradictions. If scholars from diplomacy present dialogue as a taken for

Palsa mires are typical wetland landscapes of the Arctic regions, consisting of mosaics of palsas (raised formations of peat and permafrost) and shallow ponds, all embedded in wet mires. These heterogeneous habitats support rich and abundant wader populations, which breed there during the short Arctic summer. Although being threatened by climate change, relatively little is known about the ecologi
