This thesis investigates the economic consequences of informal sanctions imposed by China on Norwegian salmon exports following the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo. Although no formal trade restrictions were announced, Norwegian salmon, a main export item, faced opaque import barriers that significantly disrupted trade flows. Using disaggregated product-level export
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur försäkringsbolag arbetar med att skapa tillit till AI-system i skadehandläggningsprocesser. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning om tillit till AI – särskilt begreppen teknisk kvalitet, integritet och mänskliga egenskaper – analyseras tekniska och organisatoriska strategier genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie. Analysen bygger på en systematisk jämförelse mellan
Denna populärvetenskapliga artikel undersöker om en dynamisk explicit FE-analys av en helbilsmodell kan användas för att simulera lastfallet "Drive Over Curb". Syftet var att ta reda på om en sådan helbilsmodell kan ge mer realistiska resultat än simuleringar på komponentnivå. Genom att jämföra simuleringsdata med fysiska testresultat visade det sig att metoden stämmer väl överens med veThis thesis work has been conducted in collaboration with Volvo Cars Corporation. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of using an explicit dynamic finite element (FE) simulation to predict forces and accelerations in the suspension during a “Drive over Curb” load case. This was conducted using the explicit FE solver LS-DYNA. To validate the FE model, simulation results were compared
We investigate the role of complexity in choice under risk through an online experiment in which complexity is manipulated by the use of tokens and tokens-to-dollar conversion rates. This novel experimental design allows us to represent the same dollar amount with different numbers of tokens and thus create choice options that are identical in terms of value but different in terms of complexity.

This study aims to explore how medical social workers in pediatric healthcare and youth clinics reason about documentation practices in their daily work. The focus is on the challenges they encounter related to language, ethics, legal regulations, and interactions with other professional groups. Using a qualitative approach, the study is based on focus group interviews and analyzed through the len
Introduction: Discovering and characterizing protein interaction partners can provide valuable insights into key functions. It can also enable the structure determination of small and flexible proteins by providing rigidity through the formation of protein complexes. Background: To date, there are no protein structures of full-length PARP15 in the protein data bank (PDB). Utilizing binding partn
Title: Aligning Inventory with Strategic Priorities Across Factory Boundaries – More than moving plates Authors: Lisa Johansson and Johanna Weber Supervisors: Jan Olhager, Professor at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering(LTH) at Lund University Alexandra Kristensson, Head of S&OP, GPHE at Alfa Laval AB Examiner: Louise Bildsten, Senior Lecturer at Engineering Logistics, Faculty of
Agri-PV is a promising socio-technical innovation increasingly being deployed in Bavaria and Germany. However, institutional challenges in the approval process hinder process standardization and effective deployment. Using a qualitative research design and the three-pillar framework of institutions, this study investigates the approval process of Agri-PV in Bavaria. 17 semi-structured interviews w
The aftermarket, with its spare parts and services, is a strong business driver compared to products from OEMs in the primary market. The MV sector, with features like autonomous driving, advanced mobility, etc., relies on data driven ecosystems apart from the conventional spare parts business. Such a market involves independent repairers, spare parts manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, end use
This thesis wants to investigate whether machine learning, trained on candlestick data, can be used to forecast intraday returns. Previous research has primarily focused on returns with longer horizons and is therefore leaving a research gap on shorter horizons. This thesis will use a combination of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) as the deep learning model to
De senaste århundraden har vår förståelse för världen runt omkring oss förbättrats avsevärt. Grundpelaren i att bedriva det vetenskapliga arbete som har lett fram till detta är att kunna utföra olika experiment vars resultat kan falsifiera olika teorier om de inte stämmer överens med observationerna. Allt eftersom de experimentella delarna av fysiken har fått möjligheten att göra noggrannare och nAfter the Higgs boson’s discovery precision searches for Beyond the Standard Model physics has become a new frontier in fundamental physics research. In extensions to the Standard Model, large combinatorics arising due to the many possibly involved particles in Feynman diagrams stands in the way of performing precision calculations of what such extensions predict. This work investigates the feasib
This paper examines the role of imported Rhenish pottery in the expression of cultural identity by Frisian merchants in Viking Age emporia. From the beginning of the Viking Age, a new maritime trade network developed in the North Sea and Baltic region that would eventually connect vast areas of Europe through long-distance trade. Along these routes new trade settlements would appear, the emporia.
Income inequality is typically assumed to be a societal problem. Yet, empirical evidence remains inconclusive on whether inequality reduces individuals’ well-being or not. This study uses data on national-, state-, and city-level inequality measures in Mexico to observe how these relate to changes in self-reported well-being across 12 years. The analysis reveals that the relationship between happi
Slutsats: Studien konstaterar att tidigare etablerade förklaringsmodeller inte nödvändigtvis är applicerbara på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Studien visar att marknaden i Sverige reagerar negativt på en hög budpremie vid annonseringen av ett företagsförvärv. Däremot kan inga slutsatser dras om huruvida förvärvserfarenhet eller betalningsmetod påverkar marknadens reaktion.Conclusion: The study concludes that previously established explanatory models are not necessarily applicable to the Swedish stock market. The study shows that the Swedish market reacts negatively to a high bid premium at the announcement of a corporate acquisition. However, no conclusions can be drawn about whether acquisition experience or the method of payment affects the market’s reaction.
Urban voids are not merely physical gaps on the city map. These are spaces that remain beyond programming, control, and conventional use. Often the result of economic downturns, industrial decline, or intentional neglect, such areas are frequently perceived as uncomfortable, unsafe, or unusable. Yet it is precisely their ambiguity that carries significant potential - the capacity to flexibly adap
Urban greening is increasingly promoted as a strategy for sustainable city development, yet it often carries hidden social costs. This thesis explores the green rehabilitation of Budapest’s 8th district, Józsefváros, a historically diverse neighbourhood undergoing significant change. Using critical urban theory, the right to the city, and feminist urbanism, this study examines how sustainable urba
Air pollution severely impacts public health and contributes to diseases that affect good health-and well-being. This qualitative case study aims to evaluate how healthcare systems address-the disproportionate impacts of air pollution on low-income working communities in Delhi,-based on semi-structured interviews with NGOs, Think-Thanks and hospitals. Aspects of-healthcare access and the social de
Plastic waste represents a major environmental challenge, with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) being one of the most widely used and recalcitrant polymers. Biodegradation offers a promising, mild alternative to conventional disposal and recycling methods. This study aimed to characterize extracellular hydrolases potentially involved in PET degradation, integrating both experimental and computatio
The impacts of climate change upon the globe entail the increase in displacement due to environmental disasters, known as climate displacement. This issue has an intrinsic global dimension due to climate change involving global emissions as a cause, environmental disasters often spanning nation-state borders, and displacement often involving cross-border movement. As a result, global response effo
