A divergence in labor productivity growth rates in the services sector has been observed between in particular the euro-area members and the US since the mid-1990’s. The study addresses the question whether deregulation of the telecoms sector contributed to economic development through an elevated effect of ICT capital. The study finds ICT capital to have a positive effect on both real GDP growth

100 000 elderly fall each year, costing the healthcare system up to 750 million SEK. Beyond the financial part, these accidents could lead to serious injuries such as head trauma or hip replacements, and in the worst case, even death. This project aims to find a preventive technique that will make life easier for the elderly while saving money and resources for society. The aim is to gather data

As global supply chains become increasingly vulnerable due to geopolitical instability, rising protectionism, and sustainability pressures, the trend of reshoring has emerged as a strategic response among multinational enterprises (MNEs). This thesis explores the drivers behind the reshoring decisions of seven Swedish MNEs and examines the entry modes (EMs) through which these firms implement thei
This thesis investigates how European Union accession influenced economic performance in post-communist Eastern European countries. It highlights the mechanisms behind this impact, focusing on trust as a key component of social capital and on institutional quality. The paper estimates the effect of accession using fixed effects regressions, difference-in-differences, and an event-study model, on p
This thesis explores the classification of savannah trees using EnMAP hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data using a Random Forest classifier. The study aimed to assess if the increase in spectral information from the hyperspectral data gives an increase in classification performance, to find the advantages and limitations to hyperspectral data compared to multispectral data and
Textile waste presents significant harm to the environment, prompting the development of advanced textile recycling technologies. One such process recycles cellulosic fibers using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at certain hydration levels to dissolve the cellulose, which is later precipitated by the addition of water and can be re-spun into new fibers. However, this process uses large amounts of zinc chl
Research Question: How do Swedish coworking firms internationalise, and what are the Key Success Factors allowing for a successful internationalisation? Purpose: This study investigates what drives international expansion for Swedish coworking firms. It also sees why these internationalisation projects were or were not successful. By identifying the key factors behind the projects, the study aims
This thesis illustrates the issue of Early Forced Unions (EFUs) in Mozambique, and its intersecting aspects. The enforcement of The 2019 Law on Preventing and Combating Premature Unions is established in the country, however, demonstrates a gap between legislation and practice. Throughout this thesis, factors of EFUs will be considered - financial vulnerability, cultural and traditional norms, pat
The international business literature predominantly explains internationalization through the lens of developed countries and well-established firms, offering limited insights into how emerging market startups expand globally. To address this gap, this study investigates the internationalization processes of technology startups from Kazakhstan. Employing a qualitative research design, semi-structu

The widespread adoption of drones has presented new requirements for reliable localization and tracking systems. For this reason acoustic sensing has become an area of growing interest for a passive and cost-effective solution. However, process- ing large amounts of microphone data in real time presents significant hardware challenges. This thesis studies two different types of signal channelizati
Tidewater glaciers on Svalbard are sensitive indicators of climate change and play a crucial role for Arctic ecosystems. The widespread retreat of tidewater glaciers across Svalbard highlights the need to quantify retreat rates and project when these glaciers will become land-terminating. This study investigates tidewater glacier retreat during historical (1936–1990) and present (2012–2024) period

Carbon sequestration and long-term carbon storage are fundamental characteristics of northern peatland ecosystems. A key process influencing the carbon balance is the decomposition of litter and peat, which not only emits carbon to the atmosphere but also releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to recipient waters. However, these processes are susceptible to shifts, as climate change and managemen
Bakgrund: Hjärtstopp sker plötsligt och antalet hjärtstopp på akutmottagningar i Sverige har ökat mellan 2008 och 2023. Sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att utföra återupplivningsförsök framför närstående har visat sig vara ett splittrat ämne och en ny sammanställning av forskning om sjuksköterskors upplevelser behövs. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av närståendes närvaro vid återu
This thesis investigates the use of several acceleration schemes to improve the performance of the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm for linear programming (PDLP), a state-of-the-art first-order method for linear programming (LP). The three main acceleration schemes investigated are: Polyak heavy ball momentum, Nesterov acceleration, and steering vectors selected in a residual momentum directi
