This thesis examines the use of ARMAX models for predicting cryptocurrency trading volumes, with Google Trends data serving as an exogenous variable. The spec- ulative nature of cryptocurrencies suggests that market sentiment, reflected in search trends, could influence trading activity. To test this hypothesis, the predictive performance of ARMAX models is compared to ARMA models across six crypt

Aedes aegypti is one of the most lethal disease vectors in modern history, spreading a majority of the deadliest diseases mediated by mosquitos. To try and combat this, mankind has, for a long time, tried to create repellents to keep the insects away. These repellents affect receptors in the mosquitos, keeping them at bay. One receptor that is highly expressed in the mosquito’s prey/host sensory o

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka på vilket sätt det är möjligt att uppnå gemenskap och intensiva känslor i form av collective effervescence. Vi vill även ta reda på vilka ritualer, symboler och kulturella markörer som bidrar till detta samt om detta skiljer sig under en hiphopkonsert respektive en operaföreställning. För att möjliggöra detta har kvalitativa intervjuer med operabesökare, hipho

Barn som placeras i familjehem utgör en utsatt grupp. För att undersöka hur dessa barn kan stärkas kan det teoretiska begreppet resiliens användas. Det finns för närvarande en brist på studier med ett resiliensperspektiv som fokuserar på vad barn i familjehem själva anser stärker dem. Därför undersökte denna studie vad som främjar resiliens hos barn i familjehem, utifrån tre forskningsfrågor: (1) Children placed in foster care are a vulnerable group. In order to investigate what makes these children thrive, the theoretical concept of resilience could be used. There is currently a lack of studies that employ a resilience perspective and focus on what children in foster care believe strengthens them. Therefore, this study explored what promotes resilience in children in foster care, guided b

Arbetsmotivation är ett välutforskat ämne inom arbets- och organisationsforskning, och går att betrakta ur ett flertal olika perspektiv (Tremblay et al., 2009). Med hjälp av självbestämmandeteorin (Deci & Ryan, 1985) syftade denna kvantitativa studie till att undersöka potentiella skillnader mellan inre och yttre motivation i förhållande till kreativitet på arbetsplatsen, samt om dessa skillnaWork motivation is a well-researched topic in work and organizational research, and can be viewed from several different perspectives (Tremblay et al., 2009). Using self-determination theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) this quantitative study aimed to investigate potential differences between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in relation to creativity in the workplace, and whether these differences v

A commonly discussed issue among professionals in human service occupations, such as healthcare workers and social workers, is Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS). This phenomenon occurs when one is exposed to others' trauma and, in turn, becomes secondarily traumatized. The risk of experiencing STS can be reduced through strong organizational support combined with various strategies that individ

Barn och unga lever i en värld där de riskerar att möta svårigheter som kan påverka deras hälsa och utveckling negativt. Interventioner för att stärka barns motståndskraft behövs för att skydda mot negativa konsekvenser rotade i utmaningar under uppväxten. Traumamedveten omsorg (TMO) är en psykoedukativ intervention, som ges till vuxna i barnets närmiljö. Tidigare forskning har undersökt TMO utifrIn today’s society, children and adolescents face adversities that can impair their mental health and psychological development. Interventions that aim to strengthen children’s resilience are crucial in order to protect children from detrimental outcomes. Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a psychoeducational intervention, which is administered to adults in children’s environments. Previous research ha

Denna studie hade som syfte att undersöka hur estetiska ideal beskrivs i Sverige som en del av ett större forskningsprojekt kring sexuell tillfredsställelse på Lunds universitet. I en online-enkät svarade 450 vuxna personer på en fråga hur de upplevde att samhällets estetiska ideal såg ut. Vi analyserade svaren med en reflexiv tematisk analys med kritisk realistisk ansats.
