Our study aims to address the research gap pertaining to the identification of leadership characteristics that managers consider essential in a multigenerational team within contemporary organizations. Additionally, the study examines the impact of stereotypical thinking on leadership effectiveness. Regarding the key findings, managers emphasized the evolving expectations of leadership, highlighti

Studying dissolution of oral drug substances is crucial throughout the drug development process. Current methods are time consuming and require large quantities of both the drug and dissolution media. Thus, exploring new methods is highly desirable. UV imaging, an analytical technique based on real-time absorbance measurements, can be used in early drug discovery to study drug dissolution and has

Transylvania’s countryside, characterized by a mostly agrarian society with a rich multicultural heritage is being threatened by Romania’s tendencies of chaotic modernization and rapid urbanization. This research aims to find a viable solution for sustaining the cultural, natural, and social environment in rural Transylvania, by analysing the potential of tourism development. Integrated Rural Tour

Den digitala omställningen har ökat genom åren och har fungerat till en fördel för företag och organisationer generellt. Hastigheten på transformationstillväxten har bibehållits i nutid, vilket har resulterat i att mjukvarusystem utvecklas kontinuerligt. Som en naturlig effekt av detta fenomen, bör aktuella företag alltid ligga i framkant för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Studier har visat att pr

Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t

Background: environmental impact from health care contribute to a substantial part of the public sector’s consumption based emission of greenhouse gases in Sweden. An issue, recognized by the health care sector itself, is the increasing use of single-use products. Objective: to compare environmental impact and cost differences between a single-use, ResposableTM, and mixed setup of the surgical in

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how different types of fans experience personalization in sports marketing and to analyze how each Fan type can be motivated by understanding how their fan experience could be optimized further. Methodology: This study was a qualitative study. The study was carried out using an abductive approach where literature was combined with empi

Freevalve AB develops camless valvetrains for internal combustion engines using pneumatic and hydraulic systems. An air compressor is used to generate pressure in the pneumatic system. To further increase efficiency of the Freevalve system, a new compressor tailored to its purpose, is being developed in house. This thesis is part of the development of this compressor, which is a reciprocating pis

A growing environmental issue today is the amount plastic pollution in the ocean. To investigate how it might affect marine life, an important aspect is to study how plastics are transported by ocean currents and where it ends up. This can be done by use of Lagrangian simulation of plastic particles in computer ocean models. To improve the quality of the output from such simulations the number of

This Master's thesis in Biomedical Engineering investigates the performance and generalizability of linear regression models in context of prosthesis control for short residual limb amputees. This thesis uses intramuscular electromyography data, and a regression and emplys a regression technique called Elastic Net Regression - a technique that combines L1 and L2-regularization - to predict 1-D

In most manufacturing companies, it is necessary to carry inventory to a greater or lesser extent in order to disconnect the activities in the supply chain that are not conducted at the same pace. This way, a smoother flow through the chain, from raw material extraction to arrival at the final customer of a finished product, is facilitated. However, different parts of a company often have conflict

The interactions between airway epithelial cells (AECs) and dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the sensitization towards airborne allergens. Not much is known about the underlying mechanisms and novel in vitro approaches are needed, which include the different involved cell types in order to investigate what happens at the molecular level during sensitization. In this project, one aim

Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

HR indicators are increasingly used as a method for analysis in the work with human rights. However, the concept of HR indicators is often subject to confusion due to the lack of a common and universal theoretical framework. This study focuses on the elaboration of HR indicators for state reporting within the UN treaty monitoring bodies and argues that an extended and more coherent use of HR indic

This paper explores the validity of assuming the existence of a Swedish R&D paradox based on the relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth, and what implications the existence of such a paradox ought to have on policies that concern R&D expenditure. Consequently, in the first instance, the relationship between Gross Expenditure on Research & Development (GERD) and G

Applying contemporary ideas regarding the role literature may have had in human evolutionary history to literary analysis, using Herman Melville's Moby Dick as a case study. The paper focuses on the function of male bonding in the text, the ways in which the setting is defined by humanity's evolutionary past, and the artistic function of the hunt, as it is described in the text.
