Natural capital has emerged as the dominant response to revaluing nature in the context of deepening ecological degradation. The belief is that we make the contribution of nature to our well-being visible by seeing it as a form of capital alongside human-produced capitals. This would, it is assumed, help correct the observed imbalances between the capitals and prevent further ecological destructio
Objective: Based on the theoretical model of post-traumatic growth (PTG) and the Positive Memory-PTSD model, this study aims to investigate the main and moderating effect of different characteristics of positive memory on the mediating effect of deliberate rumination on the relationship between event centrality and PTG of emerging adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: 253 emerging adults (7
As information technology has grown and evolved, so has the need of securing the information. It is important to evaluate both the security of systems and the methods which are used for the evaluation. One method for finding security vulnerabilities in a system is penetration testing. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate some tools and methods for penetration testing. The methods were examined
Astronomiska tecken tyder på att det mesta av materian i universum inte är av den vardagliga typ vi möter på jorden, som noggrant beskrivs av standardmodellen för fysik. Att introducera denna nya substans är användbart för att lösa astrofysiska problem genom den stora gravitationella dragningskraft som denna materia har. Namnet mörk materia får den genom att det inte verkar påverkas av ljus och anThe Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed target experiment at SLAC's LCLS-II electron beamline that will attempt direct production of sub-GeV dark matter, measurable through a missing momentum and missing energy signature. An initial run of LDMX is planned at 4 GeV beam energy, for which a study on LDMX's capabilities to separate dark matter production events from the s
Maintaining engaged employees has become a key issue for organizations in recent years, as millennials have become the largest generation currently active in the work life. Recently, Covid-19 pandemic forced marketing agencies in Finland to start working in-remote, posing even bigger challenge for engagement in these organi- zations. Using the theoretical framework of social exchange, this thesis
Heavy road freight transports in Sweden are responsible for a significant portion of national greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier research has looked at the purchasing process of transports in a business-to-business context and established its importance for limiting environmental impact. This thesis’ purpose is to study purchasing criteria related to the climate and explore the potential use of emi
I takt med att samhället blir allt mer digitaliserat har ett tryck etablerats på offentlig sektor att transformeras digitalt. Den digitala förvaltningen har kommit att kallas e-förvaltning och digitaliseringen sker här i vågor. Den senaste vågen har inneburit e-tjänster och automatisering. I samband med detta har kommuner vänt sig till RPA för en lättare automatiseringslösning i sina processer. I
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att kartlägga hur platsannonser för den kvinnodominerade yrkesgruppen HR-specialister idag är formulerade när det gäller efterfrågade personliga egenskaper. Syftet är vidare att analysera om dessa egenskaper är könskodade samt att kartlägga vilka konsekvenser som kan uppstå för företag och den sökande om de efterfrågade personliga egenskaperna i platsannonser form
There is no consensus on how to define and measure green growth. Consequently, we can neither state if growth is actually green nor econometrically explore important questions such as what determines green growth. This thesis takes a three-step approach to move one step closer to a unifying longitudinal cross-country measure of green growth. It analyzes how green growth has been quantitatively mea
This paper sought to examine the experiences of an intimate partner violence policy, created in order to spread both awareness and implications to act among residents of apartment communities. The initiative, called Huskurage, has been introduced in a Swedish crime prevention context. When implemented, the policy engages neighbors to look out for each other. Our study scrutinizes the experiences o
Gör kategoriseringen det hållbara valet lättare? Vi har alla någon gång känt oss så överväldigad av information inför ett beslut, att vi inte kan ta ett. Hållbarhetsfrågans komplexitet och omfattning kan ibland vara så överväldigande att vi blir handlingsförlamade, vilket resulterar i att hållbarhetsaspekten trycks åtsidan vid beslutsfattanden. För att kunna genomföra en samhällsomställning mot eThe growing mountain of electronic waste is a threat to human health and an unsustainable handling of our finite natural resources. With the aim to decrease the creation of waste, including electronic, the EU have decided to separate resource use from economic growth by supporting the transition to a circular economy. The inclusion of the private sector in the financing of this transition is cruci
In the framework of this thesis, the optimization of the etching process of GaN for FinFET applications has been investigated. FinFETs are transistors with a vertical architecture in the shape of fins. These fins are fabricated by etching a pattern into a GaN substrate. The etching is carried out in two steps, a dry etch and a wet etch. In this thesis, these etching steps have been carried out whi
Forskningsfråga: Vad har aktörer i en koordinerad marknadsekonomi för syn på revisionsplikten och hur ser sambandet ut mellan synen och deras förtroende för revisorskåren? Syfte: Syftet är att studera aktörers inställning till revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag i KME:n Sverige och undersöka det eventuella sambandet mellan inställningen och förtroende. Metod: Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av SverigResearch question: What view do the actors in a coordinated market economy have of audit obligation and how is it related to their trust in the audit profession? Purpose: The purpose is to study actors' attitudes to the audit obligation for small companies in the KME Sweden, and to examine the possible connection between the attitude and trust. Methodology: The essay is a case study of Swede
The demand for alternative sources of protein has increased; the so-called “protein shift” is an inevitability. Mycoprotein, a foodstuff produced from the mycelium of filamentous fungi, has gained popularity among consumers. Mycoprotein is grown in submerged culture, in either a simple or a complex, undefined medium. Strategies for yield increase in either medium were studied in this paper. For s
This study emphasizes the significance of social media influencer traits, such as expert, trustworthiness, likeability, and homophily, in determining the legitimacy of social media influencers as a formative construct in Sweden's fashion sector. It successfully instils brand image in customers, which leads to purchase intentions. More decisively, brand image influences the link between the tru
Recombinant protein expression of Cas9 was performed at BioInvent International AB using prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems. For the eukaryotic expression, two types of mammalian cells were used namely HEK293 cells and CHO cells. The first expressions were performed using the pIRO-KL vector encoding the kappa leader secretory sequence. The kappa secretory sequence is responsible for tra
För företag är information en viktig tillgång, varav informationssäkerhet är en angelägenhet för alla företag oavsett företagsstorlek. Även mikroföretag drabbas av cyberattacker, men i jämförelse med större företag har de begränsat med resurser att allokera till informationssäkerhet. En konsekvens av detta är att informationssäkerhet i allmänhet hanteras av en lekman. Det förekommer studier som ar
Commercialization has been recognized as one of the most difficult phases of the innovation process. Failure rates are high, even for products with the potential to address real needs and deliver real customer value. This master's thesis explores commercialization in an even more challenging business context than the typical case. First, the innovating company is an early startup with limited
G protein-coupled receptors are the biggest family of membrane bound receptor in the human genome, they are also target for many drugs due to their accessible location in the cell membrane. We have characterized the G protein recruitment of the succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1/GPR91). GPR91 was deorphanized in 2004 and already then it was suggested that GPR91 could couple to the Gi-family and the Gq-f
