Dead wood is a key element in forest ecosystems and a wide range of organisms are dependent on this substrate for development and reproduction. Saproxylic beetles are important decomposers of dead wood and serve as food for many organisms. Due to the significant forestry-related decrease of dead wood in rural areas, many species of saproxylic beetles are considered threatened. Thus, other spaces h

Bakgrund: Delirium är ett tillstånd vars karakteristiska drag är akut kognitiv dysfunktion, desorientering och fluktuerande uppmärksamhet. Delirium medför längre vårdtiden och ökar risken för ökad mortalitet, och delirium ses som ett underskattat tillstånd. Intensivvårdssjuksköterskans roll i bedömning och omhändertagande av patienter med delirium är därför en central del. Det krävs en stor empati

In cancer cells, when two different genes are rearranged and joined, a fusion gene results and can act as a tumour driver. While many programs to predict fusion transcripts based on RNA-sequencing data do exist, the predictions contain many false positives without underlying genomic rearrangements. With the release of a new fusion validation pipeline to address this shortcoming, we have created a

This thesis examines the boundaries of Legal Professional Privilege (LPP), protected under the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (CFR), in tax law and the conflict between primary and secondary law through an analysis of recent Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) decisions on the sixth amendment to the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC6). The research establ

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) relying heavily on vast datasets, including publicly available personal online data and increasing amounts of fines for data breaches the individuals demand for control over personal data increases. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the efficacy of the GDPR in granting data subjects control over their personal data when they are used to train AI. Therefore,

Syftet med denna studie var att skapa en bättre förståelse för klimatet som en affektivt och politiskt polariserad fråga. Studien undersökte termen klimatattityd (Environmental Concern) och hur global identitet (grad av identifikation med hela mänskligheten) och politisk orientering relaterade till begreppet. Dessutom undersöktes möjliga modererande och medierande variabler i relationen. DatainsamAiming to better understand the climate as a polarized issue, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the construct of Environmental Concern. Furthermore, it examined how Global Identity (to what extent an individual identifies with all of humanity) and Political Orientation are related to Environmental Concern. Additionally, it explored possible moderating and mediating factors in the

The purpose of our thesis is to examine means-ends decoupling from an employee-centric perspective, focusing on the interplay of organizational culture and identity, as well as leadership and sensemaking. Based on a qualitative case study of a merged organization, we explore how these dynamics unfold in practice. The main theoretical framework is means-ends decoupling as described by Bromley and P

I en tid av ökande globala utmaningar är organisationer inte längre passiva åskådare till externa kriser, utan använder dem som strategiska möjligheter för positionering. Genom att avvika från traditionella kristeorier som fokuserar på interna händelser där företag är direkt involverade eller bär ansvar, undersöker denna studie hur externa kriser utnyttjas när företagens direkta inblandning är minIn an era of increasing global disruption, organizations are no longer passive observers of external crises but utilize them as strategic positioning opportunities. Departing from traditional crisis theories focused on internal incidents where companies are directly involved or bear responsibility, this study investigates the leverage of external crises where companies’ direct involvement is minim

In tax law, taxpayer’s rights are founded on three distinct levels. The International level includes provisions found in multilateral or bilateral agreements as well as human rights instruments, such as the ECHR. The European level includes the fundamental freedoms provisions enshrined in the Treaty, the provisions set out in the EU Charter, and the general principles of EU law. At the nationa

Recognizing the existential threat posed by climate change, the EU has pledged itself to ambitious GHG emissions targets. The adopted environmental measures such as the ETS, the ETD and domestic carbon taxes have been extensively criticised for their regressivity and resulting impact on less wealthy taxpayers. One aspect which is less often criticized, is that these measures impose significant mon

With the rapid advancement of electromobility sector, the power density and heat generation of electronic chips is significantly rising. Due to its higher load and lower thermal mass, electronics chips in BEV inverters, such as MOSFETs, are increasingly susceptible to rapid temperature rises. Through the utilization of latent heat absorption, Phase Change Material (PCM) offers a promising passive

Denna kvalitativa fallstudie syftar till att undersöka hur utsatta områden representeras i Malmö stads platsmarknadsföring och om det sker en marginalisering av dessa. Arbetet har en socialkonstruktivistisk utgångspunkt. Det betyder att vi utgår från att verkligheten formas genom språk och sociala interaktioner. Genom en kritisk diskursanalys av Malmö stads platsmarknadsföring analyseras språkliga

The long, dark winters of the Nordic region pose unique challenges for children with autism, whose heightened sensory sensitivities often make conventional home lighting a barrier to restful sleep and daily stability. This thesis explores the transformative potential of smart, energy-efficient lighting systems designed to mimic the gentle transitions of dawn and dusk within real-world family home

The relationship between public sentiment and stock price fluctuations during corporate crises has attracted increasing attention in recent years. This study investigates the influence of public sentiment on stock price movements during a corporate crisis by integrating natural language processing of social media data, time series analysis and machine learning predictive model.

Detta examensarbete utvecklar fram en skräddarsydd prototyp av en tillgänglig kommunal webbplats. Det innebär en kommunal webbplats som är anpassningsbar och lätt att navigera, speciellt för användare som tar hjälp av tillgänglighetsverktyg för att utforska webben. För att kunna ta fram denna prototyp, utvecklades först två prototyper som var nära besläktade. Dessa två prototyper jämfördes sedan This thesis project brings forth a tailored working prototype of an accessible municipal website. This means a municipal website that is adjustable and easy to navigate, especially for users in need of accessibility tools to browse the web. To create this prototype, we first created two separate prototypes that closely resembled each other. These two prototypes were then compared to each other and

Agricultural development is widely seen as crucial for poverty reduction and food security. However, the contribution of agricultural interventions to these goals has been mixed. This study evaluates how such interventions influence the livelihood strategies of Ugandan smallholder farmers. By combining insights from the Sustainable Livelihoods and Dynamic Livelihood Strategies Frameworks, a theore
