This thesis examines how coaching shapes the learning experience in incubator programs, drawing on the perspectives of both coaches and early-stage entrepreneurs. While coaching is often positioned as a core learning intervention within incubators, its actual role in entrepreneurial learning remains insufficiently understood. Based on eleven semi-structured interviews with participants from incuba

Föreningslivet på både skol- och universitetsnivå har en stark ställning i USA och är väl utforskat, vilket skiljer sig från den svenska gymnasiala kontexten där det råder en begränsad mängd forskning på området. Denna kunskapslucka väckte intresset för att undersöka föreningslivets påverkan på gymnasieskolor i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur elever upplever föreningslivets påve

This thesis investigates the trends of subnational economic development in Vietnam from 2018 to 2023 to test for economic convergence on a regional scale in addition to analysing the extent to which local institutions lead to differing economic outcomes. The findings of this paper suggests that there existed a wide gap in the economic performance of Vietnamese provinces at the start of the period

In this thesis, the aim is to gain an understanding of Skanör-Falsterbo’s decline by studying economy, demography, politics, environment, and the medieval categorization of the towns and comparing them to Malmö and Åhus. I have done so by using urban theory together with social practice theory where I have adapted a social-ecological-system. I have conducted this study by using historical sources,

This paper examines the evolution of the return premium associated with corporate PAC contributions among S&P 500 firms between 1993 and 2024, and assesses whether political giving continues to yield financially meaningful payoffs. A panel of 500 large-cap firms (per year) is analyzed using OLS firm and year fixed-effects regressions. Key regressors include continuous PAC-donation amounts, int

The Palestinian refugee question is one of the most protracted and politically charged refugee crises of modern times and in modern history. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have endured generations of statelessness, constrained by exclusionary legal frameworks. This study examines the condition of statelessness among Palestinian refugee youth in Lebanon and the formation of political agency and ev

This study examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and stock returns within the STOXX Europe 600 Index over the period 2019–2024. A balanced panel dataset was constructed by applying a frozen basket approach including 465 firms with continuous index membership and complete ESG data from Refinitiv Eikon. The analysis evaluates whether ESG scores, t

This thesis examines how psychological contracts and psychological safety shape the psychological constructs often associated with employee retention, based on insights from Danske Bank. As competition for talent intensifies, organisations must work on strengthening their understanding of the influences on employee retention. Despite the growing popularity of the concept of psychological safety in

With rapidly developing digitalization and the growing popularity of online learning platforms, understanding the psychological drivers behind user loyalty has become increasingly critical. This thesis investigates how Flow Experience, defined as a deep state of intense enjoyment, focus, and concentration, shapes user satisfaction and user attitudinal loyalty in the context of online learning

Purpose: This study pursues a purpose rooted in the research gap of brand perception of passive stakeholders, to address the under-explored role of passive stakeholders, particularly recruiters, in shaping and reshaping university perception. Research question: In which ways do brand perceptions differ between active and passive stakeholders of higher-educational institutional brands? Methodolo

Det sker en ökning av dödliga polisskjutningar i USA och det är även ett problem i Sverige. Tidigare forskning finns kring polisskjutningar i jämförelser mellan länder, men det saknas något komparativt mellan USA och Sverige. Syftet med denna studie att få en bild av förekomsten av dödliga polisskjutningar i USA och Sverige samt se om det finns variabler som har något samband med dessa skjutningar

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable, with applications in i.e. climate modelling and drought- and flood forecasting. The soil moisture in the rootzone (RZSM), 0-100cm depth, is especially important, compared to soil moisture at the surface (SSM), 0-5cm in depth. Large data gaps still exist for RZSM, as it cannot be directly observed through remote sensing. As such, modelling, and theref

This Master's Thesis examines the possibility of developing a software tool for optimizing offshore wind power plant layouts in regards to wake effects. The study was conducted with the purpose of making development and operation of offshore wind power plants more efficient and cost effective. The tool, named OptiWind, was developed in Python and employs several imported packages for mathemati

This thesis in collaboration with ESS proposes a workflow for developing, deploying, and integrating machine learning models into the control system. Machine learning offers a promising potential for control systems but often introduces technical debt, with the actual model code representing only a small fraction of the total code base. To address this a data-centric process is proposed for retrie

In the 1970s young danish people moved into abandoned military barracks in Christianshavn which started a squatting movement that gave rise to the area called Christiania, a semi-autonomous society where internal informal norms are prominent. Pusherstreet in Christiania has always received a lot of attention in the media with its open cannabis market. The market closed multiple times and has resi

This thesis examines the development and social consequences of housing security policies in metropolitan China, with a focus on Shanghai. Against the backdrop of rapid urbanization and deepening socio-economic divides, housing affordability has emerged as a pressing challenge in Chinese cities. In response, the government has introduced a range of housing security measures aimed at supporting low

This thesis establishes the foundation for improving the control strategy of an active power filter (APF) system connected to a grid with partially or fully unknown and varying impedance. It aims to support the transition from fixed-gain control to an adaptive strategy capable of handling grid impedance variations while meeting key performance targets, including a control bandwidth up to 49th harm
