Målet är att ta reda på vilka faktorer som påverkar val av metoder i beställarens och entreprenörens samverkan under projekteringen och produktionen samt vPurpose & goal: The purpose is to investigate how the collaboration between the client and the contractor contributes to the transition towards climate neutrality and to analyze how requirements and initiatives from both parties contribute to achieving the 2045 climate target. The goal is to investigate factors that influence the methods in the client and contractor's collaboration during

På senare år har socialtjänsten i Sverige blivit måltavla för desinformationskampanjer, där särskilt den så kallade LVU-kampanjen har väckt starka reaktioner och spridit misstro mot myndigheten, framför allt bland utrikesfödda grupper. Denna uppsats undersöker hur socialarbetare upplever att dessa kampanjer påverkar deras arbete och relationen till klienter, samt hur de hanterar frågor om förtroen

The purpose of this study is to investigate how different professions view collaboration within the framework of a collaboration project aimed at juveniles who live in a socio-economically disadvantaged area. In the study, it is the individual's thoughts, opinions, and experiences that are investigated. Differences, similarities, challenges, and possible solutions that the professionals descri

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to a deeper understanding of how intensified public media attention influences the ways in which middle managers interpret and navigate in a large-scale change process. Our study aims to offer new insights into the implications of public news media coverage for individual sensemaking during a large-scale organizational change. Methodology: This

Entrepreneurs often face the need to make quick decisions under uncertainty. To cope with this pressure, they may develop cognitive biases such as the illusion of control, where they overestimate their influence over outcomes, and the belief in the law of small numbers, where they rely on limited information to draw conclusions. While these biases are highly relevant in entrepreneurship, there is

Standards play a significant role in shaping our environment and everyday life. In the context of the built environment, they ensure consistency of quality between different projects. The European Daylight Standard EN17037 “Daylight in buildings” is one of those standards, currently in use in the European Union, and was established to secure enough natural light indoors to achieve spaces that are

Privata skogsägares syn på att bevara natur vid installation av vind-kraft i skog De svenska skogarna är stora, nästan 80 procent av Sveriges yta är täckt av skog. Det låter mycket, men skogen har många användningsområden. Den ger oss virke och papper, möj-ligheter till vandring och turism, plats för vindkraft och är hem åt djur och växter. Samtidigt minskar antalet arter på vår planet, och både kThis study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of Swedish small forest owners’ perspectives on ecological compensation on their land in relation to wind farm construction, specifically how their sense of ownership influences their willingness to engage in such activities. To fulfil this aim, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten private forest owners who had signed agreements for win

Purpose: This study explores the impact of ESG performance on corporate debt financing costs in Chinese A-share listed companies. It investigates the underlying mechanisms and heterogeneity across ownership, region, and industry. Methodology: Using panel data of 33,830 firm-year observations from 2011 to 2023, the study applies fixed effects regression models. ESG performance is measured by the H

Social work has a longstanding tradition of cooperation with other professionals. In Sweden, social workers and other professionals who deal with the health and social standing of people are mandated by law to cooperate. Social service administrators are central in the scientific field of professional cooperation because of their frequent cooperation with other professionals. The purpose of this p

This thesis investigates how the design of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) systems influences two different packaging-waste outcomes across 12 EU member countries from 1997 to 2022. Addressing a gap in the empirical literature, the study develops a novel EPR Strength Index a two-dimensional measure that captures institutional (legal clarity, enforcement, transparency and reporting) and econ

I ett samhälle som präglas av samhällelig förändring och en politisk osäkerhet väcks frågor kring dess påverkan på unga och deras framtid. Denna studie ämnar därför till att undersöka frågeställningen “Hur upplever/resonerar unga kring sin framtidstro i relation till det politiska klimatet i Sverige och omvärlden?”. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur individer tillhörande Generation Z ser på

The figure-of-eight solution is unusual in being a stable solution of the planar three-body problem. To study its stability, we first implement a numerical integrator, the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method, and demonstrate that it is accurate enough to integrate the figure-of-eight for thousands of periods. To examine what effect initial perturbations have on it, we define two perturbation schemes, one

This study investigates the effectiveness of the portfolio balancing channel in the transmission of quantitative easing (QE) to term premiums in government bond yields in Sweden and the United States. Using an arbitrage-free Nelson-Siegel dynamic term structure model and a structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) framework, we estimate term premiums and assess the impact of central bank large-scale

Transformer-based sentiment analysis systems have become widespread in automated decision-making, particularly in the field of financial sentiment analysis. These models are easy to implement, inexpensive, and offer state-of-the-art performance in sentiment analysis. However, their rapid and broad adoption calls for careful evaluation of algorithmic bias in such models. Previous research has shown

To mitigate greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels in conventional transportation—including vehicles, ships, and aircraft—a wide range of alternative energy sources have been explored, such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), biomass, solar energy, hydrogen, fuel cells, and batteries. Among these, battery electric propulsion syst

Detta examensarbete undersöker det framtida ekonomiska utbudet av flexibilitet i det svenska elsystemet till 2030, genom att tillämpa ett modelleringsramverk som kombinerar uppskattningar av marginalkostnader med tekniska potentialer för flexibilitet från olika tekniker. Dessa inkluderar användningsresurser (elpannor, värmepumpar och smart laddning av elfordon) produktionsresurser (kärnkraft, vattThis master's thesis investigates the future economic supply of flexibility in the Swedish electricity system by 2030, by applying a modelling framework combining marginal-cost estimates with technical-flexibility-potential assessments for a range of different technologies. These include demand-side resources (electric boilers, heat pumps and smart charging of electric vehicles) generation res

Empathy is a known word used in many private and professional contexts. People can relate to it, but the definition is elusive. It is also elusive in science, with different definitions depending on which scientific approach is taken. Also, within the field of social work, empathy is conceptualized and understood differently. Therefore, this study aims to explore how social workers describe and ut
