Denna studie har syftet att studera studenters upplevelser kring distansundervisning ur ett lärandeperspektiv, hur distansundervisning har påverkat studenters psykosociala hälsa samt vilka fördelar, nackdelar och förbättringsmöjligheter det finns med den virtuella lärmiljön och i synnerhet lärplattformar. Det finns faktorer som universitet kan ta hänsyn till när det ska undervisas på distans, och

På senare år har andelen kvinnor i styrelse- och ledningsgrupper ökat. Nyligen har internationella studier visat att det finns ett samband mellan andelen kvinnor i styrelser och ett bolags lönsamhet. Denna studie ämnar att undersöka om om det finns ett statistiskt säkerställt samband mellan andelen kvinnor i styrelser respektive ledningsgrupper och bolags lönsamhet i Sverige. Metoden består av tre

Predicting occupant behaviour is vital to ensure energy performance in the built environment. Several studies reported discrepancies between the predicted and actual occupant behaviour in buildings, including that towards manual solar shading systems. This results in an energy performance gap between predicted and actual energy use in buildings. In this research, the self-reported use of manual

It is beneficial for both investors and companies to avoid the detrimental consequences of overpricing during an initial public offering (IPO). Prospectuses are an important source of information for potential investors. Through Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) we extract topics from the summary section of prospectuses S-1 for companies holding an IPO in the U.S. in 2019-2020. We represent the un

This paper studies the effect of the Czech economy on the Slovak Republic. Specifically, we analyze the general economic relationship as well as responses of macroeconomic variables of Slovakia to shocks in the Czech Republic. Firstly, we present the theoretical background of their relationship on top of which we build a regression analysis. Secondly, for the regression analysis, we used quarterly

Artificiell intelligens kan leda till disruptiva innovationer som verksamheter måste ta ställning till för att fortsätta vara konkurrenskraftiga. Med profilerade fall som Cambridge Analytica har etik i förhållande till datadriven AI fått en ny betydelse. Riktlinjer har framlagts för att vägleda organisationer till hur de ska förhålla sig till etik och AI. Det har framkommit att dessa dock inte föl

This study aims to broaden the remits of the relatively scant hitherto literature focused on the impact of the changes in macroeconomic indicators on automotive stock returns. Since a considerable fraction of previous empirical research covered multiple industries, historical results may not be directly transferable for the purposes of the analysis of the automotive industry. This article posits t

The aim of this thesis is to conduct a discourse analysis on Texas’ and Mexico’s abortion policies from September 2021 by applying Bacchi’s ‘What’s the problem represented to be?’ method, together with a theoretical framework based in reproductive governance and SRHR. The research questions are: what is the problem of abortion represented to be in these policies, and to what extent the discourses

Denna uppsats undersöker vilka bestämningsfaktorer som påverkar prissättning hos frisörsalonger. Med hjälp av en regressionsanalys visar studien att konkurrens inte har någon signifikant påverkan på vilket pris som frisörsalonger erbjuder. Den ekonometriska modellen visar att prissättning inom frisörbranschen primärt är en faktor av frisörsalongernas kostnader. Resultatet analyseras utifrån ett na

The European Green Deal and the subsequent action plans, including the “Action Plan on Circular Economy” and “A new Industrial Strategy for a globally competitive, green and digital Europe”, recently adopted by the European Commission, indicate that sustainability and environmental concerns, among others, are becoming more and more important in the eyes of the legislator. Sustainable development i

Ex vivo organ perfusion is a technique that aims to increase the amount of organ donors by treating an otherwise nonfunctional organ with a perfusion fluid outside of the body to restore its function. UGLK Science is an ex vivo organ perfusion company outside of Lund specializing in kidney transplantation. The organ is perfused in a machine which restores kidney function, allowing the organ to sur

Bakgrund: Begreppet miljö innefattar både den fysiska och psykosociala miljön. Operationssjuksköterskans arbetsmiljö är operationssalen vilken är högteknologisk och kräver kompetens inom omvårdnad på avancerad nivå men även kunskap inom medicinteknisk apparatur, anatomi och patientpositionering. Operationssjuksköterskan utsätts för flertalet risker i sin arbetsmiljö, allt från dålig arbetsställnin

This thesis investigates the increasing condition and problem of loneliness from an economic point of view, adding to the limited research made on the topic. This is done by reviewing the literature on costs connected to loneliness both for the individual and for society. After that, a Mann Whitney U-test and a Logistic regression model is used on the ALLBUS 2018 dataset to examine the relationshi

A part of a semi-supervised learning pipeline is built to improve the classification of humans and animals in a home security detector. An AI teacher model that automatically labels data, which is then in turn used to improve a light-weight AI student model is created. The AI teacher is trained on existing labelled household camera image data. Approaches with leveraged convolutional neural nets an

This research aims to enhance the current literature on meaningful work by gaining a deeper understanding of the effects of remote working on the perception of meaningful work. Set in the interpretive tradition, our research includes a qualitative case study in a single organisation and pursues an abductive approach. To understand how meaningful work is affected when working remotely, we collecte

The GDPR is the EU’s latest instalment in the attempt to establish a harmonised data protection regime across the Union, something that started over 25 years ago with the Data Protection Directive. And although a milestone in European legislation for placing the respect for fundamental rights of individuals above the interests of powerful economic groups, it still has left some aspects not fully r

What can we say about the future of art and the exhibition aspects of art? How are art institutions today co-creators in shaping conditions for the future, and how is the network of larger institutions connected to politics, as well as in the shaping of cultural heritage and the identity of a city? This essay examines how discourses for exhibitions are developed among three municipal institutions:

Ever since its regime transition, Tanzania has been ruled by one single party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM). Still, Tripp (2012) underlines that Tanzania remains a ”donor darlings” as foreign donors continue to heavily invest in the country’s prospect of democratisation. Yet, despite twenty-seven years of international effort to promote the democratisation of Tanzania, the country remains to this
