While developing countries are faced with pressing socio-economic challenges, they are also increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation. Starting from this double challenge, current research has been focusing on the synergies between economic development and environmental protection. Within the field, the concept of environmental leapfrogging has emerged, referring to the p

The present study aims to explore the relationship between academic burnout, multidimensional perfectionism, and students’ perceived autonomy support from the teacher/instructor, while accounting for sleep. The final sample contained 147 university students with the mean age of 26 years. Three moderation regressions were carried out in the analysis. The results demonstrated that multidimensional p

In this thesis, mycoprotein was utilized to make emulsion filled gels. It was found that batch-variations exist in the mycoprotein, even though they were made with the same strain of fungi and underwent the same processing steps. Four different batches of mycoprotein were examined. A small-scale benchmark activity showed that it is possible to make firmer emulsion filled gels using mycoprotein po

The Cantril Ladder is one of the dominant cross-cultural well-being instruments, in which respondents evaluate their overall life by seeing a ladder that represents their worst (bottom) to best (top) possible life. Evidence suggests that the Cantril Ladder relates more to income than to (emotional) well-being, but its structure has rarely been validated. Over two studies, I tested the impact of Ca

Web accessibility has become increasingly important to ensure all people can benefit from the information and services available on the web. Despite the multiple international web accessibility standards, studies have revealed a low compliance rate by organizations globally. This study emphasizes that the successful incorporation of Web accessibility in an organization requires a holistic vision t

Tropicalizing a technology entail adapting it to a tropical climate. This paper analyzes how an innovative solution for decarbonization – the green hydrogen - is introduced to Costa Rica. This research examines a niche trying to enter a sector under construction, contributing to the growing literature about this emerging sector. This thesis deeply examines the green hydrogen niche, building an inn

In spite of our current knowledge regarding the biology underlying cancer genesis, reliable methods for the discovery of cancer driver (CD) genes are still in great need. The rather recent incorporation of epigenetic markers to the cancer paradigm has nevertheless opened the door for the development of new computational approaches to the problem. This work is aimed to study the enrichment of cer

The problem of multi-object-tracking in a network of cameras is an interesting and non-trivial problem. Given videos from a number of cameras the goal of Multi-Camera Multi-Object Tracking (MCMOT) is to find the full visible trajectory of each pedestrian from the videos as the pedestrians move across cameras. Compared to monocular tracking the main difficulties lie in associating pedestrian detect

The increase in female labour force participation rate can be considered as the most significant labour market trend taken place over the last 120 years in the United States. However, despite the drastic increase, women’s labour participation has stagnated since the mid-1990s. There is a lack of research about the social aspects of FLFP including how anti-egalitarian views reinforced by media repr

The global airline industry is a significant market. Every year, millions of people travel by long-haul flights for different purposes. Inflight entertainment (IFE) systems are offered as a service in the aircraft cabin to keep these passengers entertained during the flight. Since IFE can significantly impact the passenger’s journey, aviation companies need to be at the forefront of providing and

This thesis investigates how offshoring influences process innovation in the home country. This topic, although stimulating, has been understudied in the past by academia. I have elaborated two innovative hypotheses according to which relocations would hurt process innovation in the home country because 1) they are used as an alternative to process innovation, and 2) they damage trade-unions. To e

Trots att hinder till GIS-användning varit kända sedan 1990-talet och trots att författare gett förslag på hur hindren bör överkommas existerar fortfarande hinder till GIS-användning inom kommuner. Denna studies syfte är att beskriva hanteringen av organisatoriska och institutionella hinder till GIS-användning hos de samhällsplanerande avdelningarna inom kommuner. Studien influerades av en kvalita

This thesis examines the use of storytelling in advertising from a rhetorical perspective. Specifically, stories told in IKEA’s recent advertising campaign Där livet händer (Where life happens) will be analyzed. The purpose is to propose a way in which to analyze identification in storytelling. Departing from a Burkean perspective, building on Black’s concept of the second persona and Burke’s dram

Köpcentra är ofta städade och snygga vilket gör att man som besökare inte tänker på allt avfall som kan uppstå. Men hur hanterar köpcentra, mer specifikt NOVA Lund, allt avfall som uppstår? Denna studie går till botten med vad som är rätt åtgärd att ta för NOVA för att kunna växa, men ändå klara av det ökade trycket av avfall. Detta genomfördes eftersom NOVA Lund vill uppgradera sitt nuvarande avfIn this study an evaluation of the ways in which the shopping mall NOVA Lund can improve its current waste management practices was conducted. This was done because NOVA plans to upgrade their waste management system. A survey was conducted where the staff of the 68 stores and 7 restaurants were inquired on the current system. The stores were asked to rank what kind of waste they encounter the mos

The use of temporary agency workers (TAWs) has grown over the years, and previous research shows that TAWs do not always have time to create interpersonal relationships, experience unequal work tasks, and perceive a lack of social support within the organization. Hence, this study aimed to investigate to what extent perceived organizational support (POS) from the client organization and the percep

Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others. The range of exper

En stor del inom utvecklingen av nya produkter är test och validering. Denna process kräver användning av dyra och stora testsystem. På grund av dessa faktorer är det viktigt att maximera användningen av dessa testsystem. Till följd av detta har ett övervakningssystem utvecklats av test- och validerings-avdelningen på BorgWarner i Landskrona som kan läsa driftstatus (Till exempel på och av) av visA large part of developing products is the testing and validation of the new products. This process requires expensive test systems and a great deal of time and space. Because of these factors it is very important to maximize the usage of the test systems. Therefore, a monitoring system has been developed by the test and validation department at BorgWarner Landskrona that can read the operational

The aim of this thesis is to develop knowledge and identify legitimacy attempts for green brands to construct themselves in order to circumvent greenwashing challenges. The researcher studied the promotional content of Patagonia and the Slovenia destination brand (I Feel Slovenia) based on a pragmatic and moral legitimacy framework, supported by narrative analysis. Results showed that green brands

During uncertain periods, regulators have been known to restrict the ability to short sell in markets. The stated reason is to help calm the markets and to reduce the volatility. The purpose of this paper is to examine if this stated goal was achieved by the regulators during the Eurozone crisis and the Covid-19 Pandemic, as well as comparing the impact on volatility for these two periods. This is
