Climate change poses one of the most substantial threats to humanity today global greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced drastically in the near future, it can lead to severe consequences worldwide. To address this issue, global and national goals have been developed which aim to foster climate-neutral societies and industries. Since emissions from the construction industry are shown to have a s

Psykologisk forskning har under de senaste årtiondena rört sig bort från att se psykopatologi som distinkta diagnostiska kategorier och istället rört sig mot en hierarkisk, dimensionell modell där en empiriskt grundad struktur bygger på gemensamma faktorer mellan psykiatriska syndrom. Nya verktyg, som den andra versionen av The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS- II), har utvecklatPsychological research has in the last few decades moved away from viewing psychopathology as distinct categories towards a hierarchical, dimensional model where an empirically based structure reflects the similarities among disorders. New tools, such as the second version of The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms (IDAS-II) have been developed to capture this dimensionality. In this time

I denna masteruppsats jämförs de två svenska översättningarna av Henry David Thoreaus Walden (1854): Frans G. Bengtssons förstaöversättning från 1924 och Peter Handbergs nyöversättning från 2006. Uppsatsen behandlar översättningen av verkets ordlekar i syfte att utröna hur de två översättarna har hanterat detta humoristiska inslag. I en kvantitativ och en kvalitativ analys undersöks hur översättar

This thesis evaluates the impact of corruption perception index (CPI) on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows from China and 34 OECD source countries to 54 African host countries using the gravitational model. China is of particular interest as it has become Africa’s largest trading partner as well as the greatest investor among the developing countries in Africa, in addition to Chinese firms hav

In this survey, we shall prove the Lucas–Lehmer primality test used to find the Mersenne primes. A proof of the Law of Cubic Reciprocity will also be presented, which will be applied in the proof of a generalisation of the Lucas–Lehmer primality test.

Many cocoa farmers, despite their crucial role for the production of chocolate and other cocoa products that many consumers enjoy, struggle to earn a decent income and improve their livelihoods. This thesis analyses the impact of the Living Income Differential, a fixed 400$ price markup added to the per-tonne cocoa price, on the position of Ghanaian farmers in the global value chain. Based on the

The purpose of our study is to map the expectations, managerial preferences and motivation triggers of young nurses and nurse-assistants.The authors of this study compare the results to existing relevant literature in order to gain a deeper understanding of the managerial challenges faced in order to fit the demands of the recruitment, retainment and motivation of healthcare workers. A qualitative

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of gamification on employees in the workplace. Despite the fact that gamification is a relatively recent phenomenon, numerous studies have already been undertaken to develop the concept's theoretical foundation. In order to further expand the topic, the following study examines the workplace experiences of five end users of gamified systems

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka synen på mänskliga rättigheter och demokrati i relat-ion till uppfattningar om folkbiblioteket som samhällsinstitution, samt vilken möjlig roll mänskliga rättigheter utifrån detta skulle kunna spela i en folkbibliotekskontext, mot bak-grund av statens människorättsliga skyldigheter. Utifrån kvalitativa intervjuer med folk-bibliotekarier, knutna till ett genom

The existence and staffing of reference desks in academic libraries has been a topic of debate for at least 30 years. As digital library services have grown in significance, some argue that the physical desk no longer serves the needs and wishes of patrons. The use of the academic librarian behind the desk has also been questioned – studies have shown a gain in efficiency when letting student work

Detaljhandelslandskapet har under de senaste åren förändras på grund av digitaliseringens utveckling och då fysiska butiker står inför stora utmaningar kan motiverad personal ses som en allt viktigare resurs. H&M är en viktig aktör för den svenska detaljhandelsbranschen och denna studie syftar därför till att undersöka hur butiksanställda på H&Ms butiker upplever sina förutsättningar för a

Bakgrund: Förekomsten av utmattningssyndrom (UMS) ökar i Sverige, vilket leder till allt längre sjukskrivningstider. En längre period med höga nivåer av stress i kombination med otillräcklig återhämtningkan leda till utvecklandet av UMS. Syndromet kännetecknas av tre aspekter: känsla av utmattning, mental distansering och minskad effektivitet. Att vara drabbad av UMS ökar risken för tveckling av e

Titel: Erfarenheter hos arbetstagare med muskuloskeletala besvär som uppkommit då de arbetat hemifrån under covid-19 - en kvalitativ intervjustudie Bakgrund: Under år 2020 började en del lärare och kontorsarbetare arbeta hemifrån till följd av covid-19 pandemin. Forskning kring hur dessa yrkesgrupper upplevt det, avseende muskuloskeletala besvär och upplevelsen av hemmakontoret, saknas. En del stu

Human errors happen all the time, everywhere in the world. Most of the errors are corrected before there is an accident. But in a high risk organization such as the military there are often bigger consequences when an accident happens. This case thesis aims to investigate a connection between experience and the human factor complacency in the Swedish armed forces. It also aims to highlight complac

This project aims to explore the possibilities of living sustainable lives in urban environments. I focus my project on food waste composting in apartments. I collected interviews about the problems people had with disposing of food waste in their apartments, and by searching the literature to select the most suitable composting ways. I have studied and summarized the problems of current products

The impact of climate change is increasingly being investigated over elevational gradients as they provide natural laboratories to study how species of plants and animals respond to changes in temperature, precipitation and other factors. Ferns are especially sensitive to air humidity and temperature and can therefore serve as potentially useful bioindicators. To better understand how species comm

This Master’s thesis analyzes the narratives that are used to portray the LGBTQ+ community and how they relate to the political parallelism of the Polish media system. The focus is on the online edition of TVP Info – the news channel of TVP, Poland’s public service broadcaster. The research investigates the structural changes of the media system, which occurred after the Law & Justice Party (P

Att klimatförändringarna till stor del är orsakade av människors användning av fossila bränslen, de växthusgasutsläpp som därmed uppstår och resulterar i en global upp-värmning är numera ett allmänt accepterat faktum. Enligt färska FN-rapporter har jordens medeltemperatur hittills stigit med ca 1,1 °C jämfört med förindustriell tid och trots höjda klimatambitioner är vi i dagsläget på väg mot en uNowadays it is widely accepted that climate change largely is anthropogenically caused through the burning of fossil fuels, the greenhouse gas emissions such burning gives rise to which, and the global warming that comes as a result. According to recent UN studies the global mean temperature has hitherto risen by roughly 1.1°C compared to preindustrial levels and despite higher climate ambitions w

Den digitala ekonomin innebär stora utmaningar för nationella och internationella skattesystem. Den Europeiska unionen (EU) vill bemöta dessa utmaningar genom lösningar på unionsnivå som involverar samtliga medlemsstater. Om det inte går att uppnå harmonisering på området är risken att medlemsstaterna konkurrerar med varandra genom regleringskonkurrens. Den Europeiska kommissionen har presenterat National and international tax systems face significant challenges due to the digitalisation of the economy. The European Union (EU) argues that these challenges must be met with solutions at union level that involve all Member States. If no harmonisation is achieved, there is a risk that the Member States will compete with each other through regulatory competition. The European Commission has mad
