The significant rise of environmental problems attracts entrepreneurs that are willing to take action towards a greener transition. Sustainability-driven entrepreneurs are continuously reshaping the business landscape. However, ventures that aim to combine both profit and sustainability goals often face the risk of mission drifts. This jeopardizes their reason for existing in the first place. Ther
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 purpose of this research is to analyze how American producers on TikTok document their experience of living in Europe. This is executed with a reflexive thematic content analysis as it is expressed by Braun and Clarke (2006) and related to the theories of othering and exotification, which are processes of constructing collective identities. I intend to analyze what the producers have in common
Previous literature suggests that the republic of Turkey is transforming from a democracy to an authoritarian country under Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi’s rule. The Turkish government has introduced and implemented a series of events that organizes around the supreme power of the President - one major being the withdrawal from the Istanbul convention. The transformation affects the feminist movement
In this thesis we investigate the persistance of embedded eigenvalues under perturbations of a certain self-adjoint Schrödinger-type differential operator in L^2(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R}^n), with an asymptotically periodic potential. The studied perturbations are small and belong to a certain Banach space with a specified decay rate, in particular, a weighted space of continuous matrix valued functio
Rammed earth is commonly used to construct traditional Bhutanese buildings. In colder areas, the thermal performance of these buildings is poor leading to the easy ingress of cold air demanding more heating energy to make a comfortable indoor climate. Modern insulation materials are not common in Bhutan due to the lack of knowledge on the advantage of thermal insulating materials, the unavaila
Tänk om vi kunde minska utsläppen av koldioxid och samtidigt hitta en återvinningsprocess för ett material som vanligtvis anses oåtervinningsbart. Detta examensarbete gör just detta. Hittar den bästa processen för att producera ett cementlikt material från kasserad glasull Materialitet kallas geopolymerer. Geopolymerer ar vanligtvis en blandning av lera med ett högt kisel innehåll och en basisk vGeopolymers are amorphous inorganic polymeric structures. They are used as binding agents and can be compared to cementitious materials such as ordinary Portland cement. This thesis aims to produce geopolymers from waste glass wool. Today glass wool is found in isolation, both thermal and sound insulation, and it is not being recycled. Most of the glass wool waste ends in landfills. Studies have b
Utvärdering av testmetod för bestämning av skjuvstyvhet för korslimmat trä Byggbranschen står inför stora utmaningar de kommande åren. Cirka 20% av Sveriges totala utsläpp av växthusgaser kommer från just denna bransch. Betong, som länge varit ett tryggt och pålitligt val är en av bovarna i dramat. Nya mer klimatsmarta byggmaterial är därför ett måste. Ett allt mer populärt alternativ till betonCross laminated timber (CLT) is an engineered wood product that was first developed in the 1990s. Since then it has grown in popularity thanks to its many advantages such as: low environment impact, high degree of prefabrication and low weight. As the material is relatively new the standardization process is still in the early stages. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate a testing method whic
Despite developments in economic growth theory, the importance of savings and investment has remained consistent. It intrinsically connects to the importance of functioning financial intermediation and high levels of financial inclusion. While Sub-Saharan Africa still lags, Tanzania has during the last decade seen a rapid rise in mobile money services. This paper attempts to answer the potential o
In 2002 the Budapest Open Access Initiative was born, and shortly thereafter in 2003 the Bethesda Statement and the Berlin Declaration followed suit. These three initiatives are frequently viewed as the ground staples of the Open Access movement, and promoted free access to academic journals for everyone with an internet connection. These three initiatives has been studied in this essay, as well a
This essay introduces the sequential Good-Turing estimator and reviews the Good-Turing, Good-Toulmin and smoothed Good-Toulmin estimators. Some theoretical properties and drawbacks of the estimators are described. MonteCarlo simulation is then used to compare the performance of the sequential Good-Turing estimator to the performance of the Good-Toulmin estimator along with the smoothed Good-Toulmi
Bioprinting is the act of using a 3D-printer in order to make structures out of materials that contain living cells. A big problem with this is that there is no defined standard for how this bioink should be made or what characteristics it should possess. This report intends to establish a set of criterias with which to evaluate the quality of the hydrogel used to create a bioink. This project wil
Examensarbetets titel: “Viskleken slutar aldrig bra”: En studie om hur medarbetare uppfattar intern kommunikation under samhällskriser.

This thesis examines sexual violence at festivals based on eleven interviews with people that have been to two popular festivals in Iceland, Eistnaflug, and Þjóðhátíð. The thesis seeks answers to three research questions; How are festivals characterized by festival attendees? How do festival attendees explain sexual violence at festivals? What preventive methods at festivals have festival attendee
Förintelsen är ett skrämmande exempel på vad som kan ske när man inte erkänner människors lika värde. Romerna, jämte judarna, var grupper som utsattes för nazisternas systematiska förföljelse på rasmässiga grunder. Trots en traumatisk historia fortsätter Förintelsen av romer att hamna i utkanten av minnespolitiken. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka och analysera närvaron, bristen eller fråThe Holocaust is a frightening example of what can happen when one does not recognize the equal value of human beings. The Romani people, along the Jews, were groups that were exposed to systematic persecution on racial grounds by the Nazi regime. Despite a traumatic history, the Holocaust of Roma continues to end up on the outskirts. The objective of this paper, “To be realised to the extent one
The possibility of being able to examine the inside of the human body is the foundation of today’s medical diagnostics. This can be done through different imaging systems, where ultrasound is one of the most important imaging methods used. Ultrasound does not endanger the patient during examination, unlike other imaging systems that use ionizing radiation or strong magnetic fields. In order to obt
In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per
Låga relativa fuktigheter inomhus orsakar negativa hälsoeffekter på människor. Vanligast uppkommer torrhetssymptom i ögon, näsa, hals och hud. Aktiv befuktning genom ventilationen i torra klimat kan vara en åtgärd, dock måste det analyseras ifall den extra fuktproduktionen kan orsaka fuktskador. Syftet med examensarbetet är att studera hur ytterväggen i ett kontor påverkas av en förhöjd relativ Low levels of relative humidity indoor has a negative effect on the health of people. Most commonly appears dryness symptoms in eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Humidification of the air through ventilation in dry environments could be a solution, though it must be analyzed if the extra moisture can cause any problems. The purpose is to study how the outer wall in the building will react to the ele
