This thesis contributes to the field of business model innovation and organizational change within incumbent firms by applying a process-oriented approach to investigate servitization. In particular, it seeks to improve understanding of the elements that influence this process, namely the use of past learning, organizational culture, and organizational readiness within incumbent firms. These topic
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is undergoing a major upgrade to prepare for the High-Luminosity LHC. It will allow for many more particle collisions to occur. Some detectors that make up the LHC experiments must be replaced to withstand the harsher conditions. In particular, the inner tracking detector (ID) of the ATLAS experiment will be replaced by the new Inner Tracker (ITk). Every co
Focusing on the complexity of power relations is fundamental to understand and address the effects of climate change. For this reason, this thesis focuses on understanding how climate change impacts affect power relations both between men and women, and between people and nature, in the context of Tutimayu, a territory in rural Bolivia. To provide an adequate analysis of these two types of power r
This thesis investigates the enhancement of solar drying techniques for agricultural produce, focusing on achieving uniform drying to reduce post-harvest losses. Conducted in Bhutan, a developing country in the Himalayas with abundant sunlight but limited preservation infrastructure, the study aimed at constructing an efficient and affordable solar dryer. The primary objectives were optimizing air
Extremväder, såsom torkan 2018, förväntas öka i framtiden på grund av den pågående globala uppvärmningen. Detta kommer bland annat påverka världens skogar, vilka är viktiga i klimatsystemet, framför allt på grund av deras förmåga att binda koldioxid, men även deras utsläpp av biogena volatila organiska kolväten. Skogarnas förutsättningar att bidra till klimatsystemet på detta sätt kan dock ändras Extreme weather events, such as heatwaves and droughts, are predicted to increase due to global warming, significantly impacting forest ecosystems. These ecosystems play a crucial role in the climate system through carbon sequestration and the emission of Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOCs), which can form Secondary Organic Aerosols (SOAs) and thus have a cooling effect on the climate. In
The protein amyloid beta (Aβ) is a major component in the amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer’s disease. This project concerns the most common version of this protein, Aβ40. In a supersaturated solution, Aβ40 monomers can aggregate to form amyloid fibrils. The solubility of an amyloid protein is equal to the concentration of the monomeric peptide in solution at equilibrium. To study the solu
This thesis is an exploratory, qualitative analysis of the participants in English-language YouTube audiovisual content featuring reactive playthroughs of Japanese horror video games. The aim is to understand the identity, motivations and lived experience of these participants to understand how they culturally translate Japanese horror. The research draws on data collected from one semi-structured
Denna studie utforskar de potentiella hoten mot maskulinitet som uppfattas i samhällen med hög könsjämlikhet och undersöker om sådana hot kan kopplas till en ökning av incel (ofrivilligt celibat) karaktärsdrag bland den manliga befolkningen. Forskningen använder en kvantitativ metod med två experimentella villkor: ett med en hög jämställdhet och ett med en låg jämställdhet, som skildrar kontrasterThis study explores the potential threats to masculinity perceived in societies with a high gender equality and examines whether such threat can be linked to an increase in involuntary celibate (incel) traits among the male population in. The research employs a quantitative methodology with two experimental conditions: one featuring a high equal scenario and another a low equal scenario, depicting
This thesis conducts an in-depth investigation of the conformal two Higgs doublet model (C2HDM) in its most general form, integrating complex couplings λ5, λ6, λ7 and a CPviolating phase e−iδ. This setup enables a detailed exploration of $\mathcal{CP}$-violation and its impact on electroweak phase transitions (EWPT) and gravitational wave (GW) signatures. Using the Higgs basis simplifies tree-le
This thesis posits that the 1948 mermaid film Miranda, made in the United Kingdom is an example of a pivotal moment, or series of moments, in mermaid image history. Through Aby Warburg’s method of the Bilderatlas, the thesis will identify and map out how Miranda connects with surviving mermaid images and created new image types that are now prevalent within modern mermaid images. Through this mapp
Social sustainability is of growing concern for global businesses as EU legislation CSRD, entered into force January 2024. The legislation requires businesses and enterprises to report on their social sustainability impacts. United Nations Guiding Principles on Business & Human Rights (UNGPs) is the framework where human rights due diligence is explicitly described as an important tool for ide
Leaf Area Index (LAI) is an important parameter for monitoring vegetation status and estimating crop yield, essential for precision agriculture, forestry and natural resource management. Therefore, estimating the LAI with high spatial resolution and temporal flexibility is crucial for providing precise and timely information to make informed decisions. This study focuses on optimizing the estimati
Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun
The purpose of the study was to study the overall support given to community-placed children, their birth parents and foster parents when a child is placed in care. The different supports have therefore been studied and inventoried by collecting data from a total of (n=254) respondents from more than 85 Swedish municipalities. The respondents were professional social workers working within social

Den ökade förekomsten av extremväder, temperaturförändringar och översvämningar belyser behovet för svenska kommuner att bygga upp sin motståndskraft. Klimatförändringarna är en av vår tids mest brådskande utmaningar och Sveriges kommuner besitter ett ansvar att anpassa våra städer till klimatförändringarnas konsekvenser. Uppsatsen ämnar att undersöka svenska kommuners övergripande klimatanpassninThe increasing events of extreme weather, temperature changes and flooding shines light upon the need for Swedish municipalities to build up their resilience. With climate change being one of the most urgent challenges of our time, Sweden’s municipalities bear the crucial responsibility of adapting to its transformative effects. This work examines the municipalities’ overall climate adaptation eff
Problem description An increased importance of data management in organization is emerging. (Desai et al., 2022) Sharing and managing product data, information and knowledge are key aspects of Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). (Terzi et al., 2010) It is both a technological and strategic challenge to implement a PLM system strategy in a company. (Gehrke et al., 2020) There also exists barriers c
