Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds the potential to radically transform various industries in the coming years, yet its impact on higher education remains underexplored. This study investi-gates how AI tools are integrated and utilised by teachers in higher education, employing a qualitative method and abductive approach to examine internal and external dimensions of AI readiness that influence te
This thesis investigates the impact of the African Union's Digital Transformation Strategy, published in 2020 amidst the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the digital progress of African countries. To see the progress of African countries, this study introduces the Digital Transformation Fundamentals Index, covering institutional, social, infrastructural, and economic dimensions of the dig
In the automotive industry today, safety is of highest priority. ASIL is a safety standard that quantifies risk. This project investigates how a redundant speed estimate in a sensorless BLDC motor can be developed to meet ASIL B requirements. The proposed solution involves tracking the shape of the phase curve to determine the angular velocity. This is accomplished by changing the boundaries on th
The recent 2019 COVID pandemic elucidated the tremendous effects a viral outbreak can have on the societies of the world with almost 7 million cumulative deaths worldwide. It is therefore of high importance to prepare preventative measures to aid the handling of emerging viral threats before a new pandemic is realized. One of the more prevalent and rapidly spreading viruses today are the Dengue vi
Denna studie har som mål att undersöka anknytningsmönster hos unga vuxna i relation till närvaron av fäder. För att skapa en förståelse för hur fäders närvaro under barndomen påverkar anknytningen genomfördes en enkät konstruerad specifikt för studiens ändamål. Totalt deltog 152 personer i åldern 18 till 35 år. Enkäten bestod av två huvuddelar; den första delen inkluderade 12 skattningsfrågor som
We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements
The aviation industry contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, demanding the adoption of sustainable practices. Digital nudging, described as the use of design elements in user interfaces to guide decision-making, can encourage sustainability in aviation. This research aims to explore the perceptions and responses of passengers towards digital nudges aimed at promoting sustainable behaviour in air
Urban flooding presents a significant challenge in developing cities, where rapid urbanisation, population growth, and infrastructure development intersect with natural processes and climate change. This study examines how governance structures influence urban flood management in Ruiru, Kenya. Through thematic analysis, this study explores local experiences with flooding, evaluates existing govern
Examensarbetets titel: Revisionsbyråer i trotsåldern – en analys av revisorsbranschens reaktion på de sänkta kvalifikationskraven Seminariedatum: 30 maj 2024 Ämne/kurs: FEKH69, Examensarbete i redovisning på kandidatnivå, 15 hp Författare: Adam Petersson, Alexander Hauptmann, Sara Forghani Eklund Handledare: Alexander Hedlund Fem nyckelord: Auktoriserad revisor, revisionsbyråer, förändringsprocess
We investigate the vanishing conditions for harmonic functions in planar domains. We first prove that if a complex-valued harmonic function $u$ in an open set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{C}$ vanishes at a point $a \in \Omega \cap \mathbb{R}$ and satisfies $(\partial+\bar{\partial})^k u(a)=0$ for all $k \geq 0$, then $u$ vanishes identically on the connected component of $\Omega \cap \mathbb{R}$ cont
This research investigates the role of Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in the transition to a circular economy (CE) in the Monteverde region of Costa Rica. The study utilizes the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) framework to identify the dynamic interactions between different levels (regime, landscape, and niche) in facilitating sustainability transitions from a linear economy to a circular econ
The number of openly outed trans individuals in society and in sport is increasing and can be expected to keep growing. The sporting domain is singled out as special in terms of trans rights, as it is solely based on physical characteristics. Trans people in sport have become a subject of heated debates. However, the field of human rights has so far neglected the topic. Analysing 16 transgender el
A road superstructure consists of different material layers with specific functions that together facilitate the fulfilment of requirements for safety, durability and service life. The design of superstructures is a process that aims to determine suitable and sufficient thicknesses of included material layers. This process takes place with help of dimensioning programs including ERAPAVE PP (Elasti
This thesis explores the Point-in-Time (PIT) in probability of default (PD) models, focusing on evaluating the degree of PIT-ness. Unlike previous studies that developed new measures for PIT characteristics, this research compares existing measures and frameworks to identify unique challenges and opportunities. By analyzing and testing existing measures for 1-year PD models, the study offers new i
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of various post-trade anonymity regimes on the liquidity of the Stockholm, Helsinki, and Copenhagen exchanges in 2014, 2019, 2020, and 2022. The theoretical perspectives used for this paper include information asymmetry, adverse selection, informational value of broker codes, trader dynamics under anonymity, order anticipation, and market make
Title: Spheres of Influence - Exploring the impact of different ownership structures on the cost of debt. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sphere ownership influences the cost of debt for Swedish firms, and if the effect can be explained by different types of sphere ownership, such as family, institutional, or bank-affiliated spheres. Methodology: To investigate the r
Det saknas tester som mäter hur arbetsminnets kapacitet varierar hos barn med typisk utveckling. Studien avser att undersöka arbetsminneskapaciteten genom modifiering av två befintliga arbetsminnestester, crosslinguistic nonword repetition test (CL-NWRT) och sifferrepetition “running”. Tidigare har testerna visat på takeffekt hos barn med typisk utveckling. För att komma ifrån takeffekten behöver
This study explored the relationship between perceived stress, psychological resilience, and social media addiction among European young adults. It is motivated by the need to understand how social media affects mental health and development during important life stage. Our study sample consisted of 223 participants aged 18-25 from various regions across Europe. We found significant positive relat
Given global temperatures are expected to rise past the Paris Agreement’s 2°C limit, Liebherr Mining aims to develop products that progress their Zero Emission Mining strategy. This project therefore selected the major components required by a mobile ammonia-fuelled genset under certain operating conditions and assessed the proposed design against existing solutions. The project was built on find
This thesis investigates the interaction of the "thinness is beauty" concept on Chinese women's social media, the rise of anti-body anxiety content, and their effects on female identity formation and consumer behavior, focusing on fast fashion brands and Red. It aims to explore the factors reinforcing narrow beauty standards, analyze changes due to anti-body anxiety content, and exam
