This paper examines literature on policies used to compensate households for rising energy costs, including in-kind transfers, cash transfers and VAT reductions. It also shows how targeted transfers stand against universal transfers, and how the policy measures affect energy consumption. The study shows that the differences between cash transfers and in-kind transfers are generally small, but that

Då användaren idag är den svagaste länken inom informationssäkerhet och den svaga punkten kopplat till utbildningen inom detta är bristande engagemang och motivation hos användaren. Gamification riktar sig mot att stärka just detta och är därför ett värdefullt verktyg. Men hur gamification verkligen används inom information security awareness utbildning är oklart. Därför har denna studie genomfört

Is food aid a catalyst for recovery following external shocks? Can it serve community development in persistently food insecure areas in the long run, or does it create a dependency trap? This research aims to provide insights into these questions by conducting a case study of a soup kitchen in the South African township Masakhane that was established as an emergency response following COVID-19. T

Gamification, användningen av spelelement i icke-spelrelaterade system, har blivit ett vanligt sätt att försöka påverka systemanvändares beteende och motivation, och så även inom gym- och träningsområdet. Många implementeringar av gamification inom dessa kategorier görs dock utan eftertanke eller anpassning till målgrupp och användningsområde. Genom en kvalitativ studie av ett befintligt spelifier

All government controlled business is controlled by the law of public procurement and its five fundamental principles. If these are not fulfilled the procurement is at risk of being subject to a review procedure, which requires both time and money. Therefore it is important to ensure the quality of these processes for contracting authorities such as Region Skåne, especially in conjunction with the

För att världen ska kunna uppnå de antagna miljö- och klimatmålen och miljöanpassas, krävs nya innovativa lösningar och tekniska försörjningssystem som minskar hälso- och miljöpåverkan och som kan hantera de oförutsedda händelser klimatförändringen medför. I takt med att större avfallsvolymer genereras, ökar behovet av antalet sopbilar och därmed hämtningsintervallen. Till följd av detta ökar trafMajor revolutionary and technological developments have taken place in the world, yet developments in waste management in particular have been slower than others and remained more or less unchanged through the years. The Swedish company Envac invented the stationary automated vacuum waste collection system AVAC, an underground pipe network where waste is transported through a vacuum technique to a

In a world where migration has dramatically increased over the last 30 years, migrant consumers have become an important market actor. When migrant consumers geographically relocate they potentially experience changes in their identity, while different factors influence their acculturation to the host culture. Consumer acculturation literature within Consumer Culture Theory has studied this topic

This paper studies the challenges of undocumented immigrant workers rights in Sweden and their access to labor rights with regards to migration regulations. It mainly aims to address three questions: 1) what are the available mechanisms, 2) how efficient are they, 3) what can be improved with respect to international frameworks that Sweden is signatory to. The findings of the paper demonstrate tha

his thesis investigates the effects of intra-ASEAN export flows on global FDI inflows into ASEAN member states. A panel dataset including all ten countries of the ASEAN is created to test these effects from 1992 to 2020. Linear regressions without and with fixed effects predict that intra-ASEAN exports have a positive and significant impact on FDI inflows into ASEAN countries. Furthermore, trade f

The development seen within industrial automation in recent years enables the emergence of manufacturing sites that utilise technology for improved productivity, quality and safety. Increased communication demands introduced by Industry 4.0 have motivated the development of cloud-fog automation; a technique characterised by wireless communication between lower levels of the automation pyramid. Spe

Byggasjälv-lösningar är ett koncept som består av prefabricerade element som icke fackmannamässiga personer ska kunna uppföra. I denna rapport undersöks det belgiska företaget Gabloks produkter som bygger på byggasjälv-metoden. Undersökningen utreder hur en yttervägg bestående av Gabloks element ställer sig emot det svenska klimatet med avseende på fukt och energi. Av särskilt intresse är risken fSelf-building is a concept that consists of prefabricated elements where non- professionals should be able to assemble these elements. This report examines the Belgian company Gablok, which is based on the self-building method. The study investigates how the solution of Gablok performs in the Swedish climate with focus on moisture and energy. The report is based on manual calculations, simulations

According to Swedish law the child must be involved in issues concerning the child, which means that during a child care investigation, the child's perspective must be obtained. The aim of this study was to explore how social workers relate to and apply laws on children's right to participation in child care investigations depending on age, maturity and function ability.

Bitcoin mining är en industri som i flera år har kritiserats för sin elkonsumtion, som globalt idag motsvarar elkonsumtionen hos små länder som Sverige, och det tillhörande klimatavtrycket. Elkonsumtion är dock inte alltid likställt med växthusgasutsläpp och få studier har gjorts kring ämnet med fokus på Sverige. Detta är bakgrunden till arbetets genomförande som ämnar att bidra med nya rön till dBitcoin mining is an industry which for many years has been criticized for its electricity consumption, which globally today equals roughly that of small countries such as Sweden, and its subsequent contribution to climate change. However, electricity consumption does not by default equals greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and not many studies have been done on the subject with a focus on Sweden, he

Decoration has been central to architecture throughout history. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the question of ornament in architecture has been oscillating between the positions of redundant and essential. With rapid advances in computational technology, the practice of architecture has been provided with new tools for designing buildings. This thesis aims to examine how digital design

The purpose of this paper is to interrogate the single and joint effect interest and exchange rate movements have on banks’ stock returns. This study also aims to compare the volatility of the banks’ stock returns for countries in different markets using both the short and long-term interest rate and the respective exchange rates. To conduct our tests, we use a sample of 14 German and 11 South Afr

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.
