Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination hesitancy has not become a new phenomenon, but a new threat. Although a large body of research literature exists that focuses on the influence of frames on intention to vaccinate, no framing studies exist yet that address the COVID-19 vaccine due to the recent pandemic. This study aims to produce new knowledge on the influence of gain and lo

Teknikutveckling för elvägar är högaktuell i dagens samhälle. Flertalet olika tekniker och infrastruktur för laddning under körning av elfordon testas i Sverige idag. En möjlig elvägslösning är laddning konduktivt från ett spår eller skena placerad på vägen under elfordonet. Vid sådan konduktiv laddning släpar en kontakt i spår eller på skena och laddar elfordonet. Detta sätter stora krav på kontaThe development of technology for electric road systems is highly relevant today. Plenty of technologies and infrastructure for charging while driving electric vehicles are being tested in Sweden today. One possible solution for an electric road system is conductive charging from a rail on top of, or milled into, the road below the electric vehicle. In this type of conductive charging an electric

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to find out what pharmaceutical companies are doing in exploitation and exploration to improve R&D productivity. This research will also investigate the implications of management and control theories in combining exploration and exploitation in the context of pharmaceutical R&D. Methodology: Multiple case study interviews. Theoretical perspective

It has been shown that pollinators mediate selection on floral traits of food-deceptive orchids. However, few studies have disentangled the mechanisms linking floral traits to performance and fitness, providing an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the process of natural selection. In this project, we studied trait-performance-fitness relationships on three food-deceptive Dactylorhiza o

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how a brand’s packaging design becomes iconic through entering pop culture/art. Design/methodology/approach: This paper is of qualitative nature, based on a traditional literature review along with multiple case-study research. This approach allows for deep analysis into the dimensions of iconic packaging. Finally, template analysis was made to

The introduction of fibers into concrete is a common way of reinforcing the mechanical properties and preventing cracking. The fibers act as bridges between the composite components and help reduce the porosity. Today, micrometer-sized fibers are widely used, but there is an increased interest in using smaller fibers e.g. carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as they are able to stop smaller cracks and the ini

Most of the world’s rich countries are experiencing increasingly high life expectancies and low fertility rates. Fewer people of working age need to somehow support the many elderly, which puts pressure on the economy to reprioritize and change. This study investigates what possible effect this may have on international capital movements, and particularly foreign direct investment (FDI). The liter

Bland rävar och igelkottar. Ibsen, Strindberg och det moderna dramat som kunskapshistoria (Among Foxes and Hedgehogs: Ibsen, Strindberg, and Modern Drama as History of Knowledge) is an exploration of modern drama as it relates to one of main features of modernity – specialization. The thesis is meant to function as a pilot study for a larger research project wherein the twofold aim is i) to shed l

This thesis uses ordered multiple correspondence analysis to study data and investigate how to further visualise and understand potential correlations. The method is applied on data collected from a survey that was executed by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) where face-to face interviews were held with 917 farmers from four different regions in Bangladesh. The survey aimed to study the f

Uppsatsen undersöker hur förvarsbestämmelserna i lagen om särskild utlänningskontroll (1991:572, härefter LSU) förhåller sig till rätten till frihet och säkerhet, oskyldighetspresumtionen samt legalitetsprincipen. Detta syftar till att utreda huruvida lagstiftningen utifrån ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv är en lämplig åtgärd för att förhindra terrorism. Uppsatsen syftar även till att placera LSU i eThe thesis examines the relationship between the detention regime in the Special Controls of Aliens Act (SFS 1991:572, SCAA) and the right to personal liberty and security; the presumption of innocence; and the principle of legality. The aim is to assess whether the legislation is a suitable counter-terrorism measure from a rule of law perspective. The thesis also aims to place the SCAA in an inte

Following the increasing sustainability trend and awareness, investors now look beyond only financial considerations when purchasing stocks. This paper analyzes the relationship between Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) scores and stock performance, measured by returns. It investigates if splitting the sample period would result in a different magnitude of abnormal returns. This study furthe

This thesis estimates Genuine Savings for Cambodia during 1970-2019 following Blum, Ducoing, and McLaughlin (2017). By including additional components, the estimates of the World Bank are enhanced. The results suggest that Cambodia has followed an unsustainable development path until the turn of the millennium, but it has evolved positively over the last two decades. However, to foster this sustai

Nedströmsprocesser för rening av biologiska läkemedel som monoklona antikroppar rör sig från batch-processer till kontinuerliga, och vidare till helt automatiska, kontinuerliga nedströmsprocsser. En del av visionen för automatiska reningsprocesser är möjligheten att automatiskt analysera från olika steg av reningen. Orbit är ett program som tillåter advancerad styrning av ÄKTA kromatografisystem fDownstream processes for purification of biological pharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies are moving from batchwise to not only fully continuous, but also fully automated production. A part of the vision for fully automated purification processes is to be able to automatically analyze from sample streams of the purification steps. Orbit is a software that allows for advanced control of ÄKT

Omni-channel retailing, the concept of offering consumers a seamless experience by integrating physical stores and online channels, is growing within the retail industry. This transformation has forced entire organizations to rethink their logistics network and fulfillment operations, which has resulted in an endeavor to work more cross-functionally in businesses. This shift makes the competence r

Digitaliseringen har medfört en strukturomvandling som genomsyrar hela vårt samhälle. Det har lett till en teknologisk revolution för samtliga branscher, där spelplanen för aktörerna förändrats. Inte minst inom bankmarknaden där digitaliseringen medfört nya spelregler med PSD2 och Open Banking. Detta har ökat konkurrensen då många nya aktörer äntrat marknaden med nya innovativa produkter och tjäns

This thesis researches the Swedish conservative intellectual magazine Svensk Tidskrift and their view on Russia, between the years of 1915–1919. It further examines how the view changes over the years. The research also analyses the view on Russia in Svensk Tidskrift from a perspective of center-periphery. Sweden and Russia have a long relationship that goes way back to several centuries before, a

Uteslutning och suspension är två av de hårdaste sanktionerna som en internationell organisation kan tillämpa på en av sina egna medlemsstater. Dessa sanktioner är vanligtvis förbehållna allvarliga överträdelser av organisationens grundläggande normer. Dessvärre är normer av det här slaget är ofta vagt formulerade. Dessutom kan en uteslutning eller suspension medföra för organisationen oönskade poExpulsion and suspension are two of the toughest sanctions which an international organisation can apply to one of its own member states. These sanctions are usually reserved for serious violations of the organisation’s fundamental norms. Unfortunately, norms of this nature are often vaguely defined. Expulsion or suspension can also bring about undesired political consequences for the organisation
