About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in

An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind

Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are becoming increasingly influential in social, economic and political spheres and have also been recognised for their potential within health promotion, especially when targeting youth and adolescents. Despite the potential of these new technologies, there is a growing understanding of how prevailing inequalities between men and women and socio-c

As an increasing number of species drift onto the IUCN’s list of endangered species, it has become increasingly important to understand the fundamental aspects that are essential in maintaining the fitness of these threatened species. Using tracking data from 75% of a sample of Swiss juvenile Red Kites during their wintering period in Spain, various bioclimatic predictors (BCMPs) were taken into

This essay aims to discuss equality in the film selection screened in Undergraduate Film Studies at Lunds University and Stockholm University. As there is a consensus within canon formation studies that film canons hegemonically premier white men of American and European decent, there was reason to analyze if this could be found within these academic film institutions. The films screened during th

Essential to many films is the conflict between good and evil. This paper presents an overview of the representation of evil in film. The paper’s purpose is to find out how the three principal antagonists in four Robin Hood movies are represented as being evil and how this has changed over time. The study method used is semiotic analysis. The previous research in the field of evil representation i

Vägar slits konstant och kräver konstant förbättringar och ombyggnationer. För att möjliggöra detta krävs personer som befinner sig ute på vägarna. Tekniken har gått framåt inom området trafiksäkerhet men skulle behöva förbättras ytterligare om vägarbetare ska vara säkra på sin arbetsplats. Även trafiken har förändrats över åren. Idag finns fler fordon på vägarna än aldrig förr. Bilarna är säkrareRoads are constantly worn down and demands improvements and reconstructions. To make this possible there has to be road workers on the road. Road safety has been improved along the years but can still be improved more. Today there are more vehicles on the road than ever before. The cars are more safe and therefore is encouraging to higher speeds as they are driven together with all safety features

The size of the pension payments is a result of how well the pension capital has been invested by the life insurance company. The laws for how much of the pension capital the life insurance companies are able to invest, and how much they need to keep as capital requirement, are under investigation. This is regulated by the risk measure value at risk. Finansinspektionen has released a test report,

När vi drabbas utav bakteriella infektioner agerar immunförsvaret kvickt för att utrota dessa elakingar som orsakar sjukdomar. De kanske mest kända försvararna är de vita blodkropparna, olika celler som upptäcker och utrotar hot. T-cellen, vars namn kommer från engelskans Thymus (brässen, ett litet organ i bröstkorgen) är delvis ansvariga för upptäckandet av hoten. T-cellen har en receptor kallad T cells play an important role in the immune system where T cell receptors (TCR) identify foreign pathogens bound to major histocompability complex (MHC) molecules on antigen presenting cells (APCs). The detection of an antigen causes the T cell to trigger, which is an activation of the cell that results in a cellular immune response. This triggering process is not fully understood and studying th

Convolutional neural networks have in recent years been successfully employed for various image processing tasks, such as filtering noise. There are however relatively few published attempts for processing video in this way. Image processing methods on single images can be applied frame by frame, but often fail to consider continuity and flow between frames. In this master's thesis we construc

I dagens samhälle har vi ett mer flexibelt arbetsliv än tidigare och människor byter jobb i större utsträckning. Tidigare forskning har visat att en ökad self-efficacy och arbetstillfredsställelse leder till positiva följder för anställda. Dessutom har tidigare studier visat på en korrelation mellan self-efficacy och job satisfaction. Det finns dock en begränsad mängd studier om occupational self-In today’s society we have a more flexible work life than before and people change jobs in a greater extent. Previous research has indicated that an increased level of self-efficacy and job satisfaction leads to positive consequenses for the employees. Furthermore, research has proven a correlation between self-efficacy and job satisfaction. However, the amount of research on occupational self-eff

This dissertation aims to investigate the Swedish private sector, with focus on the share of women in leading positions, and its effect on firms’ financial stability in terms of stock return volatility. This thesis is based on AllBright’s three lists from 2018 which rank Swedish listed firms after their level of gender equality within the companies’ top management. With respect to the six-sigma th

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between authenticity and symptoms of anxiety and depression as well as health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and life satisfaction in the context of the theoretically related constructs of adult romantic attachment, reflective functioning and insight in a convenience sample of Swedish adults. One hundred and ninety-one participants were recru

Uppsatsen intresserar sig för aktiviteten skolk: hur elever spenderar den tid som frigörs och hur handlingen motiveras. Vidare granskas skolk i relation till elevers skolvardag. Detta undersöks empiriskt genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med gymnasieelever på fyra olika program, vilka valts ut i syfte att skapa en variation i materialet med avseende på programtyp, kön, social bakgrund och etnicit

Bakgrund: Demenssjukdom är vanligt förekommande och påverkar den drabbade personen såväl som partnern. Brister i anhörigstödet förekommer inom svensk demenssjukvård. För att vården ska kunna erbjuda rätt stöd är förståelse för partners upplevelser av att leva i ett parförhållande med en demenssjuk person viktigt. Syfte: Belysa upplevelser av att ha en partner med demenssjukdom. Metod: Litteraturst

Urbaniseringen i världen har de senaste 60 åren accelererat, och folk bor numera allt tätare och spenderar större delen av livet inomhus. Samtidigt pågår en trend av ökad psykisk ohälsa i många länder, där urbaniseringen kan vara en påverkande faktor. Studier visar att närhet till natur gör oss mer välmående. Ett sätt att uppnå detta inomhus är att ha inomhusväxter. Dock är ett problem med att ha Urbanization in the world has during the past 60 years accelerated, resulting in people living in more densely populated areas and spending a majority of their lives indoors. Another ongoing trend in many countries is an increase in mental health issues, where urbanization could be a contributing factor. Studies have shown that closeness to nature increases our well-being. One way to achieve this
