Market opportunity analysis (MOA) frameworks are tools used to assess a firm’s potential in a new market and are an important resource for firms considering expanding. Some of these tools are intended for initial high-level screening of markets, while others are more comprehensive analysis tools. These MOA frameworks are increasingly crucial in a modern business context, as the internet has brough

With an increased amount and availability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other remote sensing devices (e.g. satellites) we have recently seen an explosion in computer vision methodologies tailored towards processing and understanding aerial view data. One application for such technologies is in the area of search-and-rescue (SAR), where the task is to localize and assist one or several peo

MIND (2021) flaggar för en växande problematik med psykisk ohälsa. Kultur har positiv inverkan på folkhälsan, vilket visas i en rapport beställd av WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) och Theorell (2009; 2014; 2018) lyfter särskilt musiken och dess positiva inverkan på människor. Ruud (2001) hävdar att kulturen också bör ta ansvar för att stärka folkhälsan. Mot bakgrund av detta undersöker vi som musiMIND (2021) raises a warning flag for the growing problem concerning mental health. The arts has a positive effect on the public health, which is shown in a report ordered by the WHO (Fancourt & Finn, 2019) and Theorell (2009, 2014 och 2018) highlights music and its positive influence on people. Ruud (2001) claims that the arts also should take responsibility in strengthening the public health

In increasingly turbulent environments, intrapreneurship has proven to be a crucial factor for established companies’ success and survival, showing a positive impact on innovation and organizational performance. Despite the strong importance that current research attaches to entrepreneurial employees in existing corporations, there remains a very limited understanding of their decision-making. The

Tropical deforestation, primarily driven by the expansion of agricultural land use, is responsible for significant global CO2 emissions, threatening current climate goals. Indonesia experiences one of the highest deforestation rates, endangering its rich biodiversity and human health. Global demand for Indonesia's crops is a critical force behind its increasing deforestation. Recent bilateral

The importance of indigenous knowledges has been acknowledged in biodiversity conservation, but practical engagement with them in decision-making is still lacking. In this thesis, I study this contradiction in the context of Finland and the indigenous Sámi. By conducting a case study on how Sámi traditional knowledge (STK) is addressed in the ongoing Nature Conservation Act reform, I politicize Fi

Det finns ett ökat behov av att mäta både människor och förändringsprocesser. Icke- statliga organisationer (NGO:er), stater och forskningen behöver hitta metoder och verktyg för att säkerställa att traktat, program och strategier som är ämnade att minska fattigdom och öka jämställdhet fungerar. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur Oxfam och ActionAid mäter social förändring inom kvinnors rThe need to measure and track both people and processes involved in change is increasing. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs), states, and research need to find tools to ensure that the treaties, programmes, and strategies meant to reduce poverty and increase equality are working. This thesis aims to study how Oxfam and ActionAid measure social change in women’s rights. Regarding women’s rights,

Food's impact on the climate is getting more awareness, leading to an interest in finding possible solutions. One such is to use waste products to create new products. Sunflower press cake (SFPC) is a waste product from sunflower oil production with great potential because of its high protein content. The nutritional content, as well as its physicochemical properties, are affected by the sourc

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur turismaktörer på en säsongsdestination arbetar med hållbar utveckling och hur de hanterar problematik kring säsongsvariationer. Vi vill mer specifikt undersöka vilken roll de sociala och miljömässiga hållbarhetsaspekterna har i arbetet med hållbar utveckling. Genom exemplet Kullahalvön kommer vi att illustrera hur en säsongsdestination bemöter mö

En undersökning av biobaserade råvaror i en gummiprodukt som används i bilindustrin Gummiindustrin strävar efter att tillverka fler hållbara produkter för att jobba för samhällets miljömål. Denna undersökning har utgått ifrån en befintlig produkt som tillverkas av Trelleborg Industri AB och genom utbyte av råvaror försökt göra produkten mer hållbar. I dagens samhälle står vi inför stora utmaniThis thesis is focused on finding more sustainable substitutes for raw materials in a rubber product that is produced today at Trelleborg Industri AB. The rubber compound consists of a polymer blend of epichlorohydrin and nitrile-butadiene rubber, fillers, plasticizer. There are some other materials as well that are not in focus in this project. Several different raw materials are investigated and

Framväxandet av artificiell intelligens (AI) inom den kreativa sektorn ger upphov till nya juridiska utmaningar. Den här uppsatsen undersöker originalitet och kreativitet inom EU:s upphovsrättsliga ramverk. Utifrån upphovsrättens historiska utveckling (exempelvis fotograferingens tillkomst) och informationsålderns moderna upphovsrättsmiljö analyseras koncepten ‘verk’ och ‘originalitet’ i EU-domstoThe emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the creative sector brings about new legal challenges. This thesis examines originality and creativity within the EU copyright framework by drawing on historical developments in copyright law, such as the introduction of photography, and the modern copyright environment of the information age. The concepts of ‘work’ and ‘originality’ ar

Syftet med studien var att undersöka huruvida glorifiering av överarbete kan prediceras utifrån personlighetsdragen i femfaktormodellen. Med överarbete avsågs att som heltidsanställd självvalt och återkommande jobba mer än 100%, termen syftar således till nedlagd tid på arbetet. Glorifiering definierades i den aktuella studien med hjälp av tre komponenter: överarbete är 1) beundransvärt, 2) något The aim of the study was to examine if glorification towards over-working can be predicted by the five personality traits from the five factor model. Glorification was defined by three components: over-working is 1) admirable, 2) something to strive for and 3) constitutes a part of being successful. Over-working pertained to a full-time worker who voluntarily and recurring works more than 100%, he

Med bakgrund i den pågående Ukrainakonflikten har denna undersökning intresserat sig av synen på könsroller under ett externt hot. Frågeställningen formulerades till: Hur ser människors attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller ut under ett externt hot? För att göra detta konstruerades en skala för att mäta attityder mot försvarsrelaterade könsroller (AKF). Vidare valdes ett antal prediktorvaria

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a large group of pollutants that, over the last decade have been of great academic concern since it has been found all around the globe. PFAS is ubiquitous in our environment and frequently found in low background concentrations in soil and water; recent research has also found that PFAS occur in biotic samples, such as fish and plants.

There is a rising phenomenon of teenagers starting ventures, some starting as early as ten years old. These entrepreneurial profiles seemingly lack experience and resources but still manage to create viable businesses, which shake the well-established assumptions about entrepreneurs. Despite this, teenagers are distanced from current research. This thesis aims to unpack the mechanisms that allow t

In light of diabetes becoming a global discussion topic, some steps ought to be taken to help reduce the number of individuals suffering from the disease. Keeping good glycemic control through a healthy diet helps prevent diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Plant lipids are increasingly being studied for their postprandial effects on humans. Using a randomized cross-over dose-effect design based

Det dagliga arbetet i skolan är präglat av mänskliga interaktioner. Det är av största vikt att parterna i dessa interaktioner kan förstå och samspela med varandra. Rollteori beskriver hur interaktioner underlättas genom att de inblandade antar olika roller baserat på vilket beteende som förväntas av dem. I denna studie har vi använt oss av Erving Goffmans dramaturgiska perspektiv då vi genom obser
