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

This study examines how individual background factors in Italy influence employment quality, focusing on different labour market outcomes, namely income, employment duration, contract type, and part-time work using data from the Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Results show that parental education and household wealth impact labour income, with wealth effects diminishing at higher inc

The CO2 emissions globally are rising and halting them, faster action is needed on a country level. Why countries are not acting more ambitiously in on the challenges of climate change is researched more in detail through a case study of Japan and the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. Therefore, this research was conducted to explore why climate action or environmental development is not more ambitious

Pluvial flooding is a significant and growing issue in Kampala, Uganda, driven by increased urbanization, lack of sufficient maintenance of the urban drainage system and climate change. This study investigates the impact of sediment and solid waste deposition on urban flooding within the upstream part of the Lubigi catchment area. Using PCSWMM, a 1D hydraulic model was developed to simulate variou

Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to understand how a multitier private label portfolio is linked to the retailer brand image from a consumer perspective by using a case study of the Swedish grocery retailer ICA. Furthermore, we aim to comprehend the connection of the contained private labels in a multitier private label to the retailer brand image. Methodology: Based on an epistemological social c

The late 19th century witnessed a remarkable surge in globalization, resulting in a substantial flow of goods, labour, and capital across national and continental borders. Switzerland, despite its limited domestic market and resource constraints, capitalized on this era of globalization and transformed itself from a relatively impoverished agrarian state to one of the world's wealthiest nation

The railway industry plays a crucial role in the global freight transport and passenger mobility market, providing an efficient and low-emitting mode of transportation. However, to compete with other modes of transportation, the railway must improve its reliability. Frequent inspection and maintenance work are essential for ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of railway operations. Th

The increasing frequency, duration and intensity of climate hazards is causing organisations and their assets to become more exposed and vulnerable to climate change. Numerous regulations, legislations and policies have emerged, mandating that organisations include climate risk and vulnerability assessments into their business operations. In response, various methodologies have emerged from the co

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the post-buyout effect on employment growth in LBOs relative to targets that were not subject to an LBO. Additionally, the study aims to provide an up-to-date insight into the impact of employment productivity post-buyout of the LBOs relative to non-LBOs, as the climate of buyouts have changed since its inception. Methodology: The econometr

Exit strategies constitute a pivotal moment of humanitarian action and greatly determine the sustainability of programmes’ outcomes. Despite their significance, they are often rushed and fail to consider the impact on aid recipients. This thesis aims to examine the exit strategies’ aspirations of four international organizations providing humanitarian health assistance through the lens of accounta

The purpose of this study is to examine the perceptions of various hierarchical levels regarding AI integration into the innovation process within a KIF and examine its influence on the design and usage of MCS. By synthesizing insights into the relationship between AI integration and MCS, this research contributes valuable knowledge to academic discourse and practical implementation strategies, en

The agriculture industry faces numerous challenges, including growing population, climate change, farmland shortage, soil degradation, and water scarcity. These issues drive the search for alternative methods of food production. Vertical farming (VF), which involves cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers under controlled conditions, presents significant advantages such as reduced water usa

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an important part of today's business operations as technology advances. As a result of these developments, significant adjustments are taking place in the labor market. Such as employment structures and ways of working, due to AI's ability to replace and, in many cases, even perform human work responsibilities better than humans. Given the role of a

The objective of this study has been to create an online system for condition monitoring and diagnosis for a combined heat- and power plant in Sweden. This system consists of artificial neural network models, representing each main component of the combined heat- and power plant, accompanied with a graphical user interface. The artificial neural network models are integrated on a power generation

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kloning är inte enbart ett sätt för genetiska ingenjörer att framställa identiskt lika får. Det är framför allt ett naturligt förökningssätt för många djur och växter. Bladlöss, björnbär och backlök är tre exempel på vanliga organismer som förökar sig genom kloning. Enligt gängse evolutionär teori är kloning – eller asexuell reproduktion – ett effektivare sätt att produEvolutionary theory predicts a disadvantage to sexual reproduction. This manifests itself either by the higher growth rate of asexual females in a dioecious species, or by the higher transmission rate of a gene conferring asexual female function to its carriers in a hermaphrodite species. The disadvantage to sexual reproduction may be as high as two-fold provided all else is equal. This phenomenon
