With the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic a majority of the workforce were compelled to start working from home. In conjunction with this sudden shift, threats concerning information security have reportedly increased, which organisations may not have been prepared for. To address these threats, there are a variety of organisational and technological best practices that can prove to be important. H

The option between mandatory and voluntary approaches become an unfinished debate in order to reach corporate compliance in the global supply chain on environmental, labour, human rights and anti-corruption issues. In this situation, this thesis proposes an alternative strategy that combines both approaches. For this aim, with the doctrinal and empirical legal approaches, this research scrutinizes

Technology has revolutionized various industries, including the mobility sector. While many new mobility services have entered the market, the shift towards a more digitalised environment fostered the digital divide, making various mobility services more accessible for those that are tech-savvy. Especially elderly people however often face significant challenges adapting to new technologies. So fa

Work integration social enterprises (WISE) work to help the disadvantaged to enter the labour market and find a job, thereby working to correct a market failure. Research has identified hybridity, the simultaneous work towards two, sometimes contradicting, missions as a core concept of social enterprises. This hybridity can lead to tensions though, which can result in a deviation from the social m

Smittspårning av infektionssjukdomar har sedan länge varit en samhällsviktig funktion, som under Covid-19-pandemin har behövt utökas i kapacitet och effektivitet nationellt och globalt. Användandet av system manuell smittspårning har möjlighet att stötta och förbättra smittspårningen, särskilt om de används rätt av smittspåraren. För att användas rätt krävs enligt forskning att användaren har hög

Inflation targets are set by central banks worldwide to achieve stable and sustainable growth and the possibility of institutional quality affecting the inflationary effect on growth makes it essential to study the inflation-institution-growth relationship. This paper considers whether or not the relationship between inflation and growth is nonlinear in the shape of convexity and if it differs for

As the COVID-19 pandemic forces people to work and study from home, a change that also might last after the pandemic, the usability and functionality available in a Learning Management Systems(LMS) become crucial for everyday life.

Members have traditionally played a central role in civil society organisations (CSOs) since they typically are the ones who decide upon the course of the organisation and carry out organisational activities. However, with organisations becoming more professionalised, concerns have been raised about the future role of members. Previous research point to different consequences on membership due to

The purpose of this paper is to focus on sustainable investments and to observe if the performance can be improved by combining the aspect of value and growth investments. The sample consists of groups of companies which are representing value or growth with either high or low ESG risk level. Different portfolios are constructed based on these groups between a time-period of 2 November 2016 and 26

Stellar streams around the Milky Way (MW) have been observed by wide sky surveys, and studied to understand the mass distribution of the MW. This is because streams are formed by a disruption of a globular cluster or a dwarf galaxy under the influence of the gravitational field of the MW. Moreover, the streams can provide an understanding of dark matter because they orbit in the far outer region o

Enligt Terror Management Theory ska påminnelser om döden höja människors förtroende och tycke för sin sociala ingrupp. Eftersom COVID-19-pandemin har inneburit konstanta dödspåminnelser vill den här studien utforska dödlighetsmedvetenhet samt stress och ångest i relation till förtroende för regeringars pandemirespons. I studien deltog 143 deltagare varav 111 hade befunnit sig i Sverige under det sTerror Management Theory posits that reminders of death should increase people’s trust and likeness of their social in-groups. Because the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in constant reminders of death, this study wants to examine mortality salience as well as stress and anxiety in relation to trust in governmental response. 143 participants took part in the study where 111 had lived in Sweden duri

Twin Peaks (2017), also known as Twin Peaks: The Return, has a problematic relationship to its predecessor Twin Peaks (1990-1991). In this thesis, I argue that The Return represents the past by undermining a sense of pacifying nostalgia, instead highlighting the incongruity of its ostensible return. By performing a textual analysis of the series’ representations of the past in its visuals and narr

Metal additive manufacturing is a rapidly emerging technology, with a growing number of companies interested in its implementation. The technology can have several positive effects, such as more efficient production, reduced transports, more focus on circular economy and reduced costs. However, the manufacturing process is still relatively slow, where components require extensive post-processing a

Sammanfattning Ur bevishänseende är sexualmål ett särskilt typ av brott. Bevisningen består inte sällan enbart av målsägandes utsaga och till viss del av stödbevisning som styrker målsägandes berättelse. Högsta domstolen ska mot bakgrund av relativt svag bevisning avgöra om det är ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort sig skyldig till brott. Högsta domstolen tenderar att bedöma målsäSummary Sexual offence differ from other crimes. The injured party’s evidence in sexual offence tends to consist of solely oral evidence, and partially corroborating evidence.
