The shift towards more environmentally friendly means of transportation is a pivotal change that needs to be made, to save the environment. The transportation sector alone constitutes roughly a third of all greenhouse emissions in Sweden, making it one of the leading contributors to all greenhouse gases. With ever-growing climate awareness, the idea of adopting a greener approach to protect the pl

Plato’s Concept of God – A Semasiological Analysis The philosopher Plato lived and worked in ancient Greece, a religious society where a popular tradition of polytheism was prevalent.

Continued digitization has seen the banking sector which is positioned as a national critical infrastructure face an ever-growing number of cyber-threats. This, has necessitated the need for proactive measures for detection and prevention, owing to an expanded threat landscape. This thesis proposes an approach centered on leveraging data analysis and Machine Learning (ML) to analyze and predict th

This paper investigates whether increased economic inequality leads to higher household indebtedness, a factor often associated with economic risk and instability. Utilizing data on income and wealth distribution, domestic credit, and variables controlling for credit expansion across 16 OECD countries from 1980 to 2016, a series of panel data regressions were performed. The results negate the posi

The aim of this paper is to examine the effect of maternal and neonatal health on economic growth in low- and middle-income countries between the years 2000-2019. Previous studies indicate that health has a positive effect on economic growth. To examine the effect of maternal and neonatal health on economic growth a multiple regression analysis with panel data has been used. The theoretical framew

This master’s thesis explores the effects of artificial intelligence (AI) in professional services firms (PSFs) through an exploratory case study research approach. By examining an architecture firm and a management consulting firm, this study investigates how AI influences both organizational and operational dynamics within these sectors. The research reveals that AI significantly enhances workfl

The construction and demolition industry are annually responsible for 40% of the total amount of waste generated in Sweden. The problem facing the industry is that a very large portion of the waste is disposed of in landfills, and only a very small portion is recycled and reused. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the construction industry can become more circular and sustainable over

This paper examines what effect recent minimum wage increases have had on poverty rates in U.S. states. In the past fifteen years, some states have experienced substantial minimum wage increases while others have seen smaller increases or no changes at all. First, we review some theoretical arguments for and against increases in the minimum wage, discussing its potential effects on unemployment an

This study examines price elasticity of demand for train travel along the Southern Main Line in Sweden, focusing on four specific routes: Malmö-Stockholm, Lund-Stockholm, Malmö-Linköping, and Linköping-Stockholm. Using sales data provided by Snälltåget for a period of 28 days in 2024, the research analyzes how ticket prices influence passenger numbers, applying econometric models such as log-log r

This thesis explores the aesthetics of microplastics in climate art – art specifically produced to point up issues related to climate change or perceived as addressing these issues – and reflects on the perceptual challenge posed by the often invisible presence of microplastics despite their profound environmental impacts. The study focuses on how two artworks, Pyroplastics and Plastic Air render

Bakgrund: Varje dag förmedlar aktieanalytiker världen över analyser och rekommendationer. Eftersom analytikerna spenderar sina dagar med att tolka all tillgänglig information på marknaden är det rimligt att anta att dessa personer är de bästa på att värdera bolag. Därmed kan det tänkas vara en bra strategi för den småsparare som inte själv har kunskap, lust eller tid att basera en strategi på deraBackground: Every day, stock analysts convey analyses and recommendations. Since analysts spend their days interpreting all available information on the market, it is reasonable to assume that these people are the best at evaluating corporations. Therefore, for the individual investor who lacks the knowledge; interest or time, basing a strategy on their recommendations might seem like a good appro

This thesis investigates the potential of hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technology as a sustainable alternative for regional rail transport within the framework of the EU-Rail Flagship Project 6. The thesis focuses on developing a hybrid powertrain model that incorporates both HFC and battery technologies, implementing a rule-based energy management strategy to assess fuel consumption and environmental

Dry reforming of methane (DRM) is a promising method for carbon dioxide utilization and hydrogen production, converting CO2 and CH4 into syngas (H2 and CO) using catalysts. Despite its potential, industrial implementation has yet to prevail due to challenges in loss of activity of the catalyst. Carbon deposition (coking) and catalyst particle agglomeration (sintering) occurring during the DRM reac

Novel circuit design and manufacturing methodologies are emerging into the market. Heterogeneous Integration allows for chiplet technologies of different process nodes to be combined in one large package. To allow for seamless communication between them, a definition of standards is necessary, and so is the construction of interconnects that follow them. In this thesis, we present an offload engin

This study aims to identify the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly retrofit solutions for enhancing the energy efficiency of second homes in Sweden. Second homes, often used intermittently throughout the year, represent a significant portion of residential energy use and carbon emissions. Therefore, optimizing energy consumption in these homes is critical for achieving national and g

The purpose of this research was to examine existing governance arrangements within the Australian federal public service and possible improvements for managing systemic risks at a national level. While there has been greater attention and discussion on systemic risks recently, research on how to govern systemic risk remains in its infancy. Where systemic risk governance is discussed, it is genera

As the frequency of natural disasters increases, marked by hotter summers and abnormal ecological changes, climate issues have become impossible to ignore. People are taking to the streets, not only demanding greater awareness but also pushing for meaningful policy changes. This research investigates the relationship between protest events and policymaking within the EU between July 2018 and Decem

Chronic stress is an escalating global issue that implies significant challenges. The Scandinavian region, including Sweden, faces a substantial obstacle in addressing this problem due to long waiting queues for psychological help. In Sweden, individuals may have to endure a wait of up to 12 weeks, while in Denmark, the waiting period can be as long as 20 weeks. Consequently, there is an urgent ne

Sending remittances is a deeply personal act influenced by cultural and social norms, as well as familial expectations. This thesis aims to explore how these influences shape the decisions of Filipino migrants in Sweden to send remittances and the following impact on their emotional bonds and familial relationships. By simplifying the complex phenomenon of remittances, the study investigates the m
