This study examines how descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics are applied in decision-making during stable operations and disruptive events, focusing on the Swedish food retail sector during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative case study approach with semi-structured interviews and pattern-matching analysis, the research reveals key differences in analytics usage. During stabl

Populationen av västerländska akademiker och studenter visar tecken på ideologisk bias i termer av sin sammansättning och villighet att självcensurera. Denna studie undersökte en svensk population av studenter (N = 89), huvudsakligen från samhällsvetenskapliga områden, i termer av ideologi (Moral Foundations; MFQ-20 och Social Dominance Orientation; S-SDO). Studien undersökte också relationen mellThe population of western scholars and students shows signs of ideological bias in terms of its composition and willingness to self-censor. This study surveyed a Swedish student population (N =89) of predominantly social scientists on ideology (Moral Foundations; MFQ-20 and Social Dominance Orientation; S-SDO). The study also explored the relation between self-censorship (SC), age, gender and univ

This study examines the relationship between critical thinking and the use of Big Data Analytics (BDA) in decision-making among white-collar professionals. It focuses on three key areas: the influence of BDA reliance on critical thinking, the connection between professional experience and cognitive reasoning, and the demands of strategic decision-making compared to tactical and operational roles.

A two-level three-factor factorial design experiment was conducted to study the influences of three critical specimen preparation parameters on the measurement results of bitumen by a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The investigated factors were (1) the pre-heating temperature (HT) for manufacturing the specimen, (2) the bonding temperature (BT) onto the rheometer, and (3) the trimming (Trim) opera

Switches and crossings are prone to failure thus making them drivers of unreliability in the operation of many railway systems. Unreliability is directly linked to punctuality which continues to limit, among other factors, the uptake of railways as a sustainable mode of transport. To fix this issue, there is a need for a better understanding of the contribution of railway sub-systems to train dela

Understanding the impact of various factors on train arrival delays is a prerequisite for effective railway traffic operating control and management. Existing studies model the train delay prediction problems using a single, generic equation, restricting their capability in accounting for heterogeneous impacts of spatiotemporal factors on arrival delays as the train travels along its route. The pa

With the aim to reach deeper insights into dynamics of resilience and resurgence in Sámi systems of knowledge, this article explores how Sámi worldviews and knowledges are enacted and passed on despite violent efforts of erasure by colonial state actors and settler colonialists. I analyze a variety of sources—interviews, a podcast, a documentary and a magazine—to highlight Sámi resilience and resu

This article employs a holistic understanding of environmental, social, and economic sustainability to explore the interaction between neoliberalism, climate crisis, digitalization, and academic work with a focus on its everyday aspects. Drawing our experience of organizing an online conference during the Covid-19 pandemic and our dialogue with conference participants, we first problematize the pr

Sea ice is strongly impacted by global warming, and its decline further alters the global climate. Climate models are important tools for examining those future sea ice changes and the interaction of sea ice with other Earth system components such as the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, these components are simulated with separate codes. The interaction between these components is typically mo

I denna uppsats utförs en författarskapsanalys på tre böcker i Camilla Läckbergs Fjällbacka-serie. Mot bakgrund av tidigare anklagelser riktade mot Läckberg angående spökskrivning, ämnar uppsatsen att besvara ifall misstankarna är berättigade. Med utgångspunkt från forensisk lingvistik anammas en rättslingvistisk metod, och till följd analyseras tre språkliga drag som är bevisat betydelsefulla för

Title: Mr. Tweet – A qualitative study examining the leader-follower dynamic on social media Seminar date: 17th of January 2025 Course: FEKH49, Business Administration: Bachelor Degree Project in Organization Undergraduate Level, 15 credits Authors: Natalie Hellman, Albin Persson, Kajsa Ridström Supervisor: Nadja Sörgärde Key words: Leadership, social media, X, supporters, and Elon Musk Purpose:

This study reports on the impact of rainfall patterns and land surface changes on flood dynamics in the Meijiang River Basin, located in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River. We formulated a range of rainfall patterns and spatial distribution scenarios and employed the MIKE SHE model to evaluate variations in flood volume, flood peak, and the timing of flood peaks. We found that under comparabl

In literature (e.g. Meulenbroek & van den Bogaard, 2013; Romer, 1993) a correlation between high class attendance and higher study results are historically shown for first-cycle engineering education. However, a tendency towards significantly lower student attendance at learning activities has been experienced by the teaching staff during the latest ten years and particularly among introductorIn literature (e.g. Meulenbroek & van den Bogaard, 2013; Romer, 1993) a correlation between high class attendance and higher study results are historically shown for first-cycle engineering education.

Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs), syndecans and glypicans, play crucial roles in the functional properties of cancer cells, such as proliferation, adhesion, migration and invasion. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)/PDGF receptor (PDGF-R) mediated signaling, on the other hand, is highly associated with cancer progression. Specifically, PDGF-Rα and PDGF-Rβ expressions documente
