Research Problem - Considering the increasing trend towards startup studios in the business world, the literature does not provide much information regarding these start-up support organisations. In recent years, researchers have put their attention on accelerators, creating a broad understanding of this concept. It is important for entrepreneurs to be aware of the different support organisations

There is an ever-growing interest among researchers and practitioners in base of the pyramid (BOP) markets. Still, the distinguishable challenges in terms of presenting a viable business model at the BOP are evident both in research and practice. This thesis aims to examine how private sector firms can innovate business models to attend to the BOP. A qualitative research approach in the form of a

This thesis deals with the study of how the Smart Mirror fares compared to other information oriented devices in three areas: Energy consumption, light interference from the mirror foils and general performance of the computer system. The development of Smart Mirrors has mainly been focused on usability, whilst research in performance and light interference is lacking. The project, contains compos

Denna studie riktar sig mot anställda som arbetar i gruppboende som innefattas av Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionsnedsatta (LSS). I flera sektorer inom den offentliga sektorn sker det en ökad detaljstyrning och den anställde får ett alltmer omfattande administrativt ansvar. Syftet med studien är därför att öka förståelsen för vilken betydelse styrdokument och riktlinjer har för den a

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to extend the literature on green extensions, by exploring how consumers perceive the image of car brands extending to green vehicles, and the underlying factors for this perception, based on a set of theoretical propositions which the authors seek to qualify. Methodology: The methodology used to fulfil this purpose, consist of a qualitative study, usin

This study evaluates and compares two different wastewater treatment technologies from a life cycle perspective. The evaluating technologies are Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) technology with a microfiltration membrane and Iso-Disc technology. Both technologies are gaining market share and are an important step in a wastewater treatment plant to guarantee good effluent quality of water. In this study w

Skolsegregationen har ökat och det finns stora skillnader i hur olika skolor presterar. Den här uppsatsen undersöker om det finns några skillnader i hur niondeklassare i en svensk kommun i huvudstadsregionen ser på sin studie- och yrkesframtid. Jämförelsen är gjord mellan ungdomar som går i en skola med höga resultat som ligger i ett välbärgat område samt ungdomar som går i en skola med låga resul

ABSTRACT This thesis explores the chances of learning from an educational model from Colombia, Escuela Nueva Learning Circles, to overcome issues with refugee integration in primary schools in Austria. It set out to understand the current challenges in Austria and a possible utilization of a pedagogical model of the Global South for empowering refugee children in a Global North context. The empir

Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) seeks to combine climate change adaptation, socio-economic development and climate change mitigation benefits through the use of ecosystem services and biodiversity. Embedded in socio-ecological-systems, EbA efforts need to overcome challenges posed by complexity, uncertainty, long time horizons and interdisciplinarity. A narrative-based appraisal method was develo

This thesis examines the wealthiest individuals in 19th century Sweden. The specific questions asked are which sectors of the economy these individuals accumulated their wealth in; and to what extent they belonged to the nobility. The thesis also further investigate whether the wealthiest were overrepresented as high ranking politicians such as ministers, members of parliament and mayors. The econ

This theoretical paper will explore the limitations of denaturalization of gender, or more specifically the breakage of the link between maleness and masculinity. Using different examples of female masculinities, but focused on those coupled with lesbian desire, it will be argued that exposing performativity/unnaturalness of gender does not necessarily impact the gender binary - femininity/masculi

Denna uppsats avser att undersöka larmoperatörers informationsbehov och utmaningar vid larmsamtal som utgörs av tysta larm och larm som inte går att begripas. Vidare uppmärksammar studien hur sensorteknik med hjälp av ett databehandlingsramverk kan mäta fysiologiska värden för att stödja larmoperatörers arbetssätt. Uppsatsen omfattar en kvalitativ intervju och en observationsstudie för att observe

The protons and neutrons that make up the atoms in our Universe are part of a larger group of particles called hadrons. Hadrons have an inner structure consisting of the elementary particles called quarks. The interaction of the quarks is described by the quantum field theory quantum chromodynamics. Quantum chromodynamics predicts a confinement of the quarks within the hadrons, but at large temper

Denna uppsats syftar till att skapa en mer nyanserad förståelse över vad ledarskap innebär i praktiken inom hemvården. Vi vill även bidra med förståelse över hur styrlogiker kan påverka ledarskapet. Detta görs genom en mikroetnografi bestående av observationer, intervjuer och dokumentanalyser. Mikroetnografin har utförts på en hemvårdsverksamhet i Skåne, där vi spenderat drygt 27 timmar över en ti

The 1st of April 2018 an aviation tax was implemented in Sweden. With an event study approach this paper aims to provide an understanding of the outcome of the new policy. This by investigating if the tax causes significant effects on the stock returns of concerned flight carriers and whether the policy causes a significant change in the number of air passengers travelling from Sweden. By calculat

The aim of this study was to understand how “the best interest of the child” appears and is motivated in court judgments. The aim is furthermore to study different power discourses which are expressed in the process of LVU-placements in foster care, and how these different power discourses may affect the child. The method chosen for this study was qualitative discourse analysis of seven different

The overall purpose of this thesis is to enrich the existing knowledge base by understanding how the audit practice is changing with the implementation of technological tools such as BDA and RPA. In addition, this thesis identifies and analyses what are the barriers holding back the audit profession from a wider use of technology in the audit.

To comply with the Paris Agreement and to deal with the threat caused by climate change, the Swedish Parliament has set ambitious targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. For the transport sector, which accounts for 30 % of total GHG emissions, a milestone target is to reduce GHG emission by 70 % by 2030 compared to 2010 (2030 goal). Biofuels is in this respect considered decisive to reach the
