I dagsläget befinner vi oss i en kontinuerligt pågående process av automatisering och digitalisering. Detta gör att jobb så som vi känner dem förändras och ibland även riskerar att försvinna vilket kan skapa olika upplevelser för de anställda. Denna studie utforskar automatiseringens påverkan på de anställda på inköpsavdelningen och identifierar flera känslor och upplevelser som de erfar i samban

The rapid development of the technological world requires a corresponding adaptation in various industries. However, the construction industry is a step behind other industries when it comes to implementing new technical methods, and this is for several reasons. Some examples of these: 1. Conservative culture: For a long time, traditional construction methods have been an unwritten rule in the co
The emergence of Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) promises a significant transformation of communication practices. Given the surging global interest in Generative AI among communication professionals, particularly considering its potential economic benefits for developing nations like Cambodia, this study investigated the key factors influencing Cambodian communication professionals' a
The advancing field of biomaterials seeks to improve the quality of life by restoring lost biological functions. While the use of naturally or synthetically originating biomaterials poses scalability and toxicity issues, proteins are an interesting alternative characterized by biocompatibility and tunability. Amelogenin and dragline silks are two well-studied proteins of interest due to their mech
Biofilm som bildas på materialytor vanligt förekommande i processutrustning inom livsmedelsindustrin utgör ett hot mot livsmedlets säkerhet och kvalitet. Bakterier som närmar sig en yta kan fästa in, föröka sig och skapa en matris av extracellulära polymersubstanser (EPS) vilken de bäddar in sig i. Biofilm som väl etablerats är svår att tvätta bort och det är därför av intresse att undersöka faktoBiofilms formed on surfaces encountered in process equipment in the food industry pose a threat to food safety and quality. Planktonic bacteria can adhere to a surface, proliferate, and embed themselves in a matrix of extracellular polymeric substance known as the EPS. Because biofilms are difficult to remove once established, factors influencing the initial attachment is of interest to investigat
Title: Spare Parts Inventory Management - A Case Study at Axis Communications AB Purpose: The purpose of the thesis was to explore the phenomenon of spare parts in the forward supply chain and identify the challenges, gaps, and opportunities to increase the overall efficiency of their spare parts inventory management practices. Background: Organisations have recognized the need for balancing the
The ability to cooperate and function well within a group context is vital within several different facets of the practicing social worker. Studies have shown that students' attitudes towards group assignments may later carry over toward their professional careers, which when negative may affect their ability to operate within a career that is largely dependent on both inter-organisational coo
Sustainable development requires coordination among multi-level actors to achieve set targets, with networks playing a key role in sharing knowledge and fostering collective actions. These networks’ success hinges on member engagement, but since participation is voluntary, members choose their level of involvement. Despite the importance, factors influencing network engagement remain rather scarce

In this study, we have explored the viability of using machine learning models to predict the outcomes of Premier League football matches. Especially we have evaluated the effectiveness with the Kelly Criterion as a betting strategy. We processed a comprehensive dataset to develop six distinct predictive models, each designed to forecast the probability of three possible match outcomes: a home win

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka attraktionen till personer med Dark Triad-drag jämfört med personer med motsatta (reverserade) Dark Triad-egenskaper. Vidare undersökte vi om det finns könsskillnader i attraktion till de två personlighetstyperna. Studien använde en experimentell design, där deltagarna (n=430) slumpmässigt tilldelades en av två vinjetter; den ena som beskrev en individ medThe aim of this study was to investigate attraction to people with Dark Triad traits as compared to people with the opposite to (reversed) Dark Triad traits. Furthermore, we explored if there are gender differences in attraction to the two personality types. The study employed experimental design, where participants (n=430) were randomly assigned one out of two vignettes; one describing an individ
This essay describes and discusses the discount rate from an economic and a philosophical perspective. After a thorough discussion of the underlying economic and philosophical theories follows a description of the famous debate between Stern and Nordhaus, and their respective positions (the “ethicist” and the “positive” positions) are further analyzed. The final chapter summarizes the key points a
Impacts of disasters are felt acutely at community level, as a consequence communities in the Philippines are among the most affected by the increase in disaster risks. This realization led to an increase of community-based approaches, such as community-based disaster risk management (CBDRM). However, literature acknowledges a recurring failure of projects to be sustainable long-term, attribut
