Syftet är att bidra med kunskap eftersom den svenska forskningen inom fältet är mycket begränsad. Förhoppningen är

This thesis investigates the asset growth anomaly in the Swedish stock market (Nasdaq Stockholm) from 2012 to 2023, with a focus on whether extrapolation bias can help explain the anomaly.

This form of “queer-coded”

Skolfrånvaro är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem där forskning tyder på att individer utan fullföljd utbildning löper större risk för arbetslöshet och att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. För att förebygga denna problematik menar Skolverket i en rapport från 2023 att interprofessionell samverkan utgör en framgångsfaktor. Tidigare forskning har redogjort för hur samverkan vanligtvis betraktas som nå

The development of 6G network management technology relies on the solution of large-scale combinatorial optimization (CO) problems on graphs. Many of these problems are NP-hard and must be solved approximately in practice. Despite decades of research and development, classical heuristics and approximation algorithms still struggle with accuracy and the computational demands of scaling to large pro

Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment.
