This thesis investigates how European Union accession influenced economic performance in post-communist Eastern European countries. It highlights the mechanisms behind this impact, focusing on trust as a key component of social capital and on institutional quality. The paper estimates the effect of accession using fixed effects regressions, difference-in-differences, and an event-study model, on p
This thesis explores the classification of savannah trees using EnMAP hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data using a Random Forest classifier. The study aimed to assess if the increase in spectral information from the hyperspectral data gives an increase in classification performance, to find the advantages and limitations to hyperspectral data compared to multispectral data and
Textile waste presents significant harm to the environment, prompting the development of advanced textile recycling technologies. One such process recycles cellulosic fibers using zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at certain hydration levels to dissolve the cellulose, which is later precipitated by the addition of water and can be re-spun into new fibers. However, this process uses large amounts of zinc chl
Research Question: How do Swedish coworking firms internationalise, and what are the Key Success Factors allowing for a successful internationalisation? Purpose: This study investigates what drives international expansion for Swedish coworking firms. It also sees why these internationalisation projects were or were not successful. By identifying the key factors behind the projects, the study aims
This thesis illustrates the issue of Early Forced Unions (EFUs) in Mozambique, and its intersecting aspects. The enforcement of The 2019 Law on Preventing and Combating Premature Unions is established in the country, however, demonstrates a gap between legislation and practice. Throughout this thesis, factors of EFUs will be considered - financial vulnerability, cultural and traditional norms, pat
The international business literature predominantly explains internationalization through the lens of developed countries and well-established firms, offering limited insights into how emerging market startups expand globally. To address this gap, this study investigates the internationalization processes of technology startups from Kazakhstan. Employing a qualitative research design, semi-structu

The widespread adoption of drones has presented new requirements for reliable localization and tracking systems. For this reason acoustic sensing has become an area of growing interest for a passive and cost-effective solution. However, process- ing large amounts of microphone data in real time presents significant hardware challenges. This thesis studies two different types of signal channelizati
Tidewater glaciers on Svalbard are sensitive indicators of climate change and play a crucial role for Arctic ecosystems. The widespread retreat of tidewater glaciers across Svalbard highlights the need to quantify retreat rates and project when these glaciers will become land-terminating. This study investigates tidewater glacier retreat during historical (1936–1990) and present (2012–2024) period
Abstract Seminar date: June 3, 2025 Course: BUSN79 Degree Project in Accounting and Finance, 15 hp Authors: Timothée Mortgé and Mara Segveld Advisor: Liesel Klemcke Examiner: Anna Häger Glenngård Key words: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, Vulnerabilities, Audit, Socio-Technical Systems (STS) theory Purpose: This study explores how AI adoption influences cybersecurity vulnerabilities i
Carbon sequestration and long-term carbon storage are fundamental characteristics of northern peatland ecosystems. A key process influencing the carbon balance is the decomposition of litter and peat, which not only emits carbon to the atmosphere but also releases dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to recipient waters. However, these processes are susceptible to shifts, as climate change and managemen
Bakgrund: Hjärtstopp sker plötsligt och antalet hjärtstopp på akutmottagningar i Sverige har ökat mellan 2008 och 2023. Sjuksköterskors upplevelse av att utföra återupplivningsförsök framför närstående har visat sig vara ett splittrat ämne och en ny sammanställning av forskning om sjuksköterskors upplevelser behövs. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av närståendes närvaro vid återu
This thesis investigates the use of several acceleration schemes to improve the performance of the primal-dual hybrid gradient algorithm for linear programming (PDLP), a state-of-the-art first-order method for linear programming (LP). The three main acceleration schemes investigated are: Polyak heavy ball momentum, Nesterov acceleration, and steering vectors selected in a residual momentum directi
With growing concern over organised crime in Sweden, increased attention has been directed towards children's involvement in escalating violence. Children are portrayed both as victims of coercion and as voluntary participants, reflecting a dual approach in governmental policy. This study investigates how the issue of children's involvement in criminal activities is problematised in three
Introduction: Synthesis of novel aliphatic POCOP pincer complexes with β-blocking alkyl groups. Background: An issue with Aliphatic POCOP pincer complexes is that the sought-after C=M bond is unstable with previous attempts forming aromatic groups or decomposing completely under heating. By introducing β-blocking elements to the aliphatic POCOP pincer ligands could this mitigate the decompositio
The effective judicial protection has always been a key concern for the Court of Justice. This thesis analyses the development and constitutional consolidat-ion of effective judicial protection in European Union law. Through a doctrinal and case law analysis, the study traces how effective judicial protection evolved from a procedural limitation rooted in the logic of the Rewe effectiveness into a
An experimental campaign took place at the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in the summer of 2020. Its goal was to study the exotic modes of decay of neutron-deficient nuclei located near 56Ni. For this thesis, the part of interest from the campaign is the experiment studying the fusion-evaporation reaction resulting from the collision of high-energy nuclei of 36Ar and a 24Mg target, creating exc
Background: Invasive blood pressure (IBP) monitoring during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is primarily used in research and intensive care. A monitoring system displays IBP in real time, and there is currently no solution that enables digital recording of this data. The aim of this project was therefore to facilitate clinical research by enabling digital recording of invasive blood pressure. Me
Med en ökande befolkning ökar även behovet av bostäder. Genom ombyggnation av befintliga äldre byggnader kan man ge de boende en modern standard och minska energianvändningen. Att återbruka byggnader ger oftast ett mer hållbart byggande med mindre avfall och koldioxidutsläpp jämfört med att riva och bygga nytt. Syftet med denna fallstudie är att undersöka hur en industribyggnad som uppfördes 1952 With an increasing population, the demand for housing also increases. Due to renovation and retrofitting of the housing stock it is possible to give the future resident a modern housing and at the same time reduce the energy demand for the building. Reusing buildings is often a more sustainable way to develop housing because it results in less waste and lower carbon dioxide emissions compared to d
