Till följd av en alltmer globaliserad värld och strävan efter flexibilitet, har den svenska arbetsmarknaden börjat präglas alltmer av osäkra anställningsvillkor där bemanningsföretag spelar en avgörande roll. Syftet med denna studie är att analysera bemanningsbranschen genom konsultchefers syn på bemanningskonsulters arbetssituation, samt diskutera på vilket sätt bemanningsbranschen riskerar att b

Our interest to perform this study surfaced after watching an investigative documentary (SVT 2022) about a vision-impaired woman having her right to assistance withdrawn for the reason that, according to the court, she did not experience “significant difficulties in her daily life”. The reason for the withdrawal was that she no longer meet the set requirement according to the requisite specified i

Online gambling as a field has created a variety of legal challenges in the EU. One of the challenges is the application of VAT on online gambling services. The topics which have been concerning EU Member States in relation to VAT and online gambling are the scope of electronically supplied services in relation to online gambling, the taxable amount of online gambling, and the correct implementati

The advancement of future generations of wireless communication and radar sensing warrants the need for mm-wave digitally controlled oscillators (DCOs) with high-frequency trade-offs in consideration. The purpose of this project is to investigate DCO topologies inspired from scientific literature. The DCO is an electronic component that takes a digital code as input to tune the output operation fr

This thesis explores the provision of memorable digital cultural experiences (MDCEs) for young audiences, thereby addressing the existing gap in the literature concerning the experience economy, digitalization in the cultural sector, and memorability of experiences. Based on qualitative in-depth interviews, the research explores cultural consumption trends, uncovers factors contributing to the mem

Sialic acids are prominent on the cell surfaces of mammalian cells and partake in modulating cellular mechanisms. N-acetyl neuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is one of the most prominent sialic acids on mammalian cells. Bacterial pathogens can acquire Neu5Ac from the environment and display them on their cell surfaces, in a process known as molecular mimicry, thus evading the immune system. Many pathogens a

The “Fundamental Review of the Trading Book” calculates the capital requirements using Expected Shortfall (ES) backtests since Value at risk (VaR) neglects losses in the tail. Additionally, real estate investments have increased significantly, which warrants an exploration of the asset class. This study applies eight different univariate GARCH models to six distinct property indices; Global, Asia

Denna studie har syftet att vägleda det svenska företaget Clemondo AB i att minska på avfall och annat slösande i deras produktion. Detta fullföljs genom att fastställa vart avfall och slösande uppkommer, samt genom att ge förslag på förbättringar, vilket presenteras i form av Key Performance Indices (KPIs) och i minskade produktionskostnader. Citation chaining används för att hämta befintlig littThis study aims to assist Swedish company Clemondo AB in reducing waste in production, where the goal is to determine where waste appears as well as make suggestions for potential improvements, which are presented as Key Performance Indices (KPIs) and minimized manufacturing costs. Citation chaining is used to retrieve extant literature, while other productions and process-related information are

To face the rising challenges of climate change, average consumers, institutions and governments need to work towards more sustainable production and consumption. Soeco Kontorsmöbler AB is an established company focused on refurbishing and bringing older furniture back into circulation. On behalf of Soeco, the project team was challenged to create a sustainable lounge furniture constructed entirel

In recent decades problem of using the finite resource, fossil fuels, as an energy source have caught more and more public attention. The usage of it produces side-products which in long term harms our environment. To combat the usage of such destructive resources, a more sustainable way of creation of energy needs to be implemented, to which scientist have set their eyes on solar cells. Currently

Along with escalating climate change impacts, aggravated hunger and malnutrition, and widening socioeconomic disparities, recent decades have also seen increased casualties during intrastate conflicts. The aim of this thesis is accordingly to investigate the interactions among climate vulnerability, food insecurity, and socioeconomic inequality and their effects on conflict intensity. The research

Forskning har funnit att psykiatripatienter med självskadebeteende har en lägre förmåga att ta hand om sig själva. Självomhändertagande i en klinisk kontext är ett relativt nytt och obeforskat ämne. Tidigare studier har inte undersökt hur personer som självskadar upplever självomhändertagande. Med syftet att undersöka hur personer med självskadebeteende som får specialistpsykiatrisk vård upplever Research has found that psychiatric patients with deliberate self-harm are less able to self-care. Self-care in a clinical context is a relatively new and under-researched topic. Previous studies have not explored how people who self-injure experience self-care. In order to investigate how people who self-injure and receive specialist psychiatric care experience self-care, and what it means for th

This thesis aims to explain the return of so-called sin stocks, which include businesses operating in the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapon, and oil & gas industries. Due to their negative public perception, these stocks are anticipated to yield a sin premium. This study analyses the potential variation of sin premiums across three different markets, specifically the US, European, and Asia-Pa

Akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) är en heterogen sjukdom, vilket gör den svår att behandla. Standardbehandlingen är intensiv kemoterapi och har inte förändrats på 40 år. På senare tid har nya läkemedel och mindre intensiva behandlingsregimer godkänts i USA och Europa. Fler möjliga behandlingsformer gör att det krävs prediktiva biomarkörer och tillförlitliga utvärderingsmetoder för att hitta den optimalAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. The standard treatment is intensive chemotherapy and has not changed in 40 years. However, recently new drugs and as less intensive treatment regimens have been approved in the US and in Europe. However. With a larger therapeutic toolbox, there is an urgent need for predictive biomarkers to offer the optimal tre

Utvärdering av ett solvärmefält i Sverige Med de aktuella klimatförändringarna blir det alltmer angeläget att granska alternativa energikällor. Det finns potential för solvärme, men marknaden kan behöva stöd i form av ordentliga standardiseringar, reglemente och ekonomiskt. I Sverige har Energimyndigheten satsat åtta miljoner kronor på ett demonstrationsprojekt för storskalig solvärme till fjärrvGiven the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. In this master’s thesis, the performance of a pilot solar thermal park in northern Sweden was modeled and evaluated based on an internation

This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. The effect of these

Följande uppsats undersöker det komplexa förhållandet mellan den svenska allmänhetens förtroende för Säkerhetspolisen och myndighetens mycket hemliga arbete. Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer syftar uppsatsen till att besvara frågor om hur svenskarnas förtroende för Säkerhetspolisen kan förstås och vilken roll sekretessen spelar för deras förtroende. Vidare, med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning

The development of the new green industries based on standards creates legal issues of the collision between patent law and standardisation processes. Whereas some solutions have already been implemented in the industries like telecommunications, it is of an interest to research on whether these solutions might be used when managing intellectual property rights in the green technologies or there w
