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 the financial firm characteristics determining investment decisions alongside value creation differences across different investment types and whether private equity investors have a treatment effect on operating firm performance. Theoretical perspectives: The theoretical perspectives of this paper consist of contracting related theories applicable in the private equity env
Art funds are gaining traction as an alternative asset class, yet investors must often weigh financial returns against ethical objectives such as promoting diversity in the art market. This bachelor’s thesis investigates how these two motives interact by asking: How do ethical and financial drivers shape individual investors’ willingness to allocate capital to art funds? A two-part online survey
The aim of this master’s thesis is to illustrate the attitude of a number of public librarian’s towards audiobooks and reading by listening, and to describe their experiences of literature mediation of audiobooks in public libraries. As a result of that I wish to shed light on the position of audiobooks in public libraries today. The background is that the audiobook as a book format has grown big
Since the Industrial Revolution, human activity has driven major changes in the global climate through increased greenhouse gas emissions. To address this, the EU has introduced several regulatory instruments, including the CSRD and the accompanying ESRS, which require companies to report on environmental and social impacts, risks, and opportunities. As part of these obligations, companies are req
Studiens huvudsyfte var att undersöka sambandet mellan gymnasieelevers attityder till brottslighet och deras nivå av känsla av sammanhang (KASAM), samt om detta samband skiljer sig mellan pojkar och flickor. För att få en djupare förståelse för bakgrundsfaktorer såsom kön och socioekonomiska villkor genomfördes inledningsvis ett antal föranalyser. Dessa syftade till att undersöka eventuella könsskThe main purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between high school students' attitudes toward criminality and their level of sense of coherence (SOC), as well as whether this relationship differs between boys and girls. To gain a deeper understanding of background factors such as gender and socioeconomic conditions, a number of preliminary analyses were initially conducted. Thes
Levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases (GHG) are rising, thereby acceler-ating global warming and related effects on the environment. Forests are an important ecosystem and can act as carbon sinks, providing a buffer against these effects. However, disturbances such as clearcutting can turn the forests into carbon sources. In this project, the effects of clearcutting on the carb
We are at a critical point where the carbon emissions worldwide must cease. One way to do so is to switch to renewable energy and become less dependent on fossil fuels. Solar power is an energy source which can be expanded rather quickly, and has become more common in the past years. The issue with large scale solar power plants is that they take up a lot of space, which leads to conflict of inter
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
Testamenten löper risk att utsättas för olika former av sabotage. För att minska risken finns det en rad skyddsregler i lagstiftningen, men de är av äldre art. Vår arvs-och testamentsrätt baseras på ÄB som är från 1958 men efter många år har det föreslagits en uppdatering. SOU 2025:91 har framtagits för att modernisera lagstiftningen och anpassa den till de nya förut-sättningar som finns. Några av
Uppsatsen undersöker hur DNA-bevisning bör värderas i mål om vapenbrott där försvaret gör gällande att den tilltalades DNA överförts till vapnet genom sekundär överföring, det vill säga via en mellanhand snarare än genom direkt beröring. Syftet är att konstruera logiskt riktiga argumentationsstrukturer med hjälp av bayesianska nätverk, samt att belysa den bayesianska metodens möjligheter och begräThis thesis examines how DNA evidence should be evaluated in cases concerning firearms offences where the defence contends that the defendant's DNA was transferred to the weapon through secondary transfer that is, via an intermediary rather than through direct contact. The aim is to construct logically sound argumentative structures using Bayesian networks, and to shed light on the possibiliti
Stormfloder betraktas som ett stort hot mot ekosystem och infrastruktur längs kuster, och hotet ökar på grund av det nuvarande föränderliga klimatet, med alltmer frekventa översvämningshändelser, erosion och sedimentomlagring. I detta sammanhang blir insatser för att identifiera spår av stormfloder i geologiska arkiv allt viktigare för att förstå effekterna av sådana händelser på miljön. Denna stuStorm-surges are considered a major coastal threat to ecosystems and infrastructure in the current changing climate, with increasingly frequent flooding events, erosion and sediment redistribution. In this context, efforts to identify traces of storm-surges in the geological record are becoming increasingly important to understand the impacts of such events on the environment. This project investi
I denna studie fokuserar vi på ett särskilt pedagogiskt förhållningsätt bland jazzpedagoger, vilket vi båda återkommande behövt förhålla oss till under våra jazzstudier. Detta förhållningsätt kännetecknas av stort elevinflytande och fokus på att studenten utvecklar autonomi. På grund av genrens historiska band med USA samt att ovannämnda förhållningssätt står i kontrast till amerikanska jazzpedagoIn this study, we put focus on a particular pedagogic approach among jazz teachers that we’ve encountered during our studies in jazz. This approach is characterized by giving students space to form their own studies and to develop the student’s independence through self-learning. Because of the historical bond that jazz shares with USA and because of the strong contrast within the character of the
Background Digital twins offer great potential for transforming urban management to be more effective and sustainable. By adopting a data-centric approach, cities can become more innovative, moving away from application-centric solutions with data silos toward an interoperable modern data architecture. This thesis designs and develops a data-centric knowledge graph-based tool for road maintenance
Bygg- och anläggningssektorn står idag för en betydande del av Sveriges totala klimatpåverkan. En del av denna påverkan uppstår i samband med hantering av schaktmassor. Samtidigt ökar kraven för en mer hållbar framtid och en cirkulär ekonomi vilket medför att nya lösningar inom masshanteringen behöver hittas. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilka hinder och möjligheter som finns för ökad åter
With increasing pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, heavy-duty freight is moving to electrification, but this shift remains challenging due to high energy demand, long operating hours, strict delivery schedules, and limited tolerance for charging downtime. This thesis examines whether battery swapping combined with Battery-as-a-Service can contribute to the sustainability transition of h
The earth’s resources will run out if we do not start conserving the materials that have already been extracted. Today's production is dominated by linear business models that do not take this environmental problem into account. Circular business models have been developed as a solution to this problem and to encourage companies to make the transition, the EU has introduced stricter legal requ
Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk. This master's thesis was conducted in collabora
