Research on developing economies has largely ignored the possibilities for shifting the center of attention towards well-being instead of economic growth. Due to the deficiency of research on well-being, especially with regard to ICT, this study approaches the current research gap and attempts to integrate recent literature by proposing a combination of frameworks and indicators. Kenya is not only
The project’s purpose is based on how physics is applied in reality for flight safety, efficiency and sustainability purposes. The forecasting and verification of clear air turbulence(C.A.T.) is studied further to understand the demand of high-resolution forecasts by civilaviation. This was done by literature studies and interviews with pilots and meteorologists in Sweden. An alternative way of pr
Over the past two decades, Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have become an increasingly popular source for mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. Nowadays, their experimental development progresses fast with the aid of computer simulations. These reproduce carrier dynamics in the gain medium of the laser based on different transport models. A fast and reliable simulation package for QCLs is key for th
In the last decade, there has been a substantial shift from actively managed funds to funds with passive investment strategies. This shift was also observed by Shleifer (1986), who identified that passive investment funds began to significantly increase their ownership of the S&P 500 in the period between 1975 and 1983. As the ownership of the stock market increased as the number of index fund
The world has witnessed a rapidly aging China and as a result of the social changes, numerous elderly people are living alone in rural and urban areas. No matter how they have been termed, the reality about the contemporary Chinese elders is that their needs for care is unlikely to be met. Previous researches pursing the theme of modernization in the contemporary Chinese society have argued that a
This thesis is based on the research that I conducted in a co-working space called The Ground, located in Slussen, Malmö, Sweden. The aim of the research is to investigate how The Ground (and other co-working spaces, as well) can become more pro-active in facilitating collaborations, especially inside its own community. The Ground is a small host organization itself. Parallel to its future growth,
This bachelor’s thesis explores how everyday users, specifically non-experts in higher education, interact with AI-based chatbots through natural language prompts. While prior research has focused on improving model performance and understanding prompt mechanics, little attention has been given to how users without technical expertise experience and shape these interactions. The study aimed to exp
In today’s technology-driven classrooms, maintaining student focus is increasingly challenging. This study investigates the impact of "Focus room", a digital tool developed by Trelson, designed to reduce digital distractions and support sustained attention during class. Through an observational study in a Swedish school, four 8th grade student classes were observed before and during the
This study investigates the relationship between cornerstone allocation and IPO underpricing in the Swedish market, as well as the moderating role of valuation uncertainty on this relationship. Employing OLS and 2SLS frameworks on a sample of 429 Swedish IPOs from 2010 to 2024, we find evidence of a causal non-linear relationship between cornerstone allocation and IPO underpricing, taking the form
Mer än hälften av svenska barn mellan nio och arton år uppger att de spelar dataspel dagligen. Med tanke på den ökade förekomsten av problematiskt datorspelande och digital överanvändning bland ungdomar, betonas familjebaserade behandlingsmetoder allt mer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa förstudie är att undersöka föräldrars upplevelser av konflikter i hemmet gällande barns skärmanvändning och deras More than half of Swedish children between the ages of nine and eighteen state that they play computer games daily. Given the increased prevalence of problematic computer gaming and digital overuse among young people, family-based treatment methods are increasingly emphasized. The purpose of this qualitative pre-study is to investigate parents' experiences of conflicts in the home regarding ch
This thesis explores the philosophical implications of commodification, focusing on the claim made by Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski in Markets Without Limits (2013) that ”if you can have it, you can buy it; if you can give it away, you can sell it.” Their thesis argues for the moral permissibility of commodifying any good or service that is already permissible to exchange without monetary compe
In 2024, the Namibian government announced the culling of wildlife as a drought intervention measure. The consideration of food security in conservation decision-making manifests the tension in international law between a state’s conservation imperatives and human rights law obligations. Consequently, the thesis explores: What can the law do to balance food security imperatives against conservatio
An emerging research topic in quantum thermodynamics is the study of entangled quantum heat engines, where the working medium consists of an entangled quantum system. These engines offer exciting platforms for exploring fundamental aspects of quantum thermodynamics, its intersection with quantum information theory and the nature of entanglement in general. In this bachelor’s thesis, the performanc
I den här examensuppsatsen ska jag undersöka de tre europeiska tillsynsmyndigheterna och i synnerhet den europeiska bankmyndigheten som skapades som efterföljare till de rådgivande kommittéerna (också kända som nivå tre kommittéerna) som existerade innan den finansiella krisen 2008. Det europeiska systemet för finansiell tillsyn skapades 2011. Det är ett system som till skillnad från tidigare systIn this thesis I will examine the European Banking Authority and to some extent, the European Securities and Markets Authority, that were created as successors to the advisory committees (or level three committees) that existed before the financial crisis of 2008. Created in 2011, the European System of Financial Supervision was given a greater role and more powers in regulating and supervising th
The aim of this thesis is to examine how the public artworks Fossil Composition (1955), Stone Flower (1955) and Tousle (1952), through their bureaucratic municipal processes, reflect the broader ideological ideas of the welfare state, or Folkhemmet, between 1951 and 1956. It also aims to examine what notions of intended municipal identity can be identified through the discourses surrounding the ch
For Chinese economy, the relationship between ownership and company performance is an important theoretical and practical topic. My research question is how ownership affect company performance and what is the basis determinant. In the view of macro, it relates to whether the economy system need further reform or not and if the economy could remain a sustainable growth. In the view of micro, it re
The aim of this thesis is to analyze what effect different aspects of globalization have had on gender equality in welfare and work life during the period 1970-2012 using data for up to 171 countries. The KOF index of globalization is used as a proxy to include social, political and economic globalization. Furthermore, gender equality is measured by relative changes in health, education and workfo
This study investigates the impacts of FDI on productivity and economic growth in comparative perspective by using two samples, namely “developing” and “developed” countries. The study employs panel cointegration and panel estimation methods. The panel cointegration test results indicate that there are long-run relations between “FDI and productivity”, and “FDI and economic growth” variables. The
