When it comes to obtaining funding for their venture, female entrepreneurs are at a disadvantage. Whilst obtaining funding for a venture is already a difficult task for male founders (Steigertahl & Mauer, 2018) only 2.3% of funding in venture capital goes toward female entrepreneurs (Bittner and Lau, 2021). This funding gap between male and female entrepreneurs is noticeable in different aspec

Despite the dramatic growth of demand for CSR, some researchers still criticize that it is a waste of money. However, other researchers see CSR as an opportunity and advantage to become more profitable and create a better reputation, etc. In this work, the researcher explores the driving f

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between inequality and growth through the lens of women’s financial inclusion in Sub-Sharan Africa for the period 2004-2020. Using a log-log fixed effects model on Panel data, the relationship between women’s financial inclusion, measured by female borrowers per 1000, and economic growth was examined. The results show that bot

Entrepreneurs have certain personality traits that are evaluated by venture capitalists (VCs) when making their investment decision, which have been studied in literature. However, personality traits in ecopreneurs, or sustainable entrepreneurs, that may impact the investment decision of a sustainable venture capitalist (SVC) are not known to have been studied, and therefore warrant research oppor

Lava-Java är ett projekt som tagit avstamp i arkitekturtävlingen Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arrangerad av Buildner, tidigare Bee Breeders. Tävlingen gick ut på att rita ett café i kombination med ett besökscenter på vulkanen Hverfjall på norra Island. I det här examensarbetet har dock det föreslagna programmet ändrats om för att låta det lilla besökscentret bli ett fullvärdigt naturum. Vulkanen Lava-Java is a project based on the architecture competition Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arranged by Buildner, formerly Bee Breeders. The goal with the competition was to create a café in combination with a visitor center on the volcano Hverfjall on northern Iceland. The volcano Hverfjall is located in an area on Iceland that is relatively uninhabited but at the same time a popular tourist destina

As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ

Streaming video over the internet can face issues when met with poor and varying network conditions, which can be especially noticeable when streaming live video such as security footage or video calling. To handle this, there exists congestion control algorithms that monitor network conditions based on feedback from the receiver and adapt the video output. This thesis aims to implement and compar

Bankers arbete för att förhindra finansiering av penningtvätt och terrorism kräver en manuell och tidskrävande process. Kundkännedomsprocessen kräver att både kunden och bankerna genomför långa manuella processer för insamling av information. Dessa processer hade kunnat underlättas genom en implementation av en blockkedjebaserad lösning och mer konkret smarta kontrakt. Smarta kontrakt innebär att

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur man som arkitekt kan arbeta med förändring i miljonprogramsområden. Detta är ett högst relevant ämne då många av dessa områden står inför omfattande underhållsarbeten de kommande åren. Miljonprogrammets bostäder byggdes mellan åren 1965 och 1974 och utgör en fjärdedel av vårt bostadsbestånd i Sverige. Idag är hälften av miljonprogrammets fastigheter i akut behov This thesis examines how architects can work with transformation in million-housing program areas. As many of these areas are facing extensive renovations this subject is of high importance. The dwellings of the million-housing program were constructed between 1965 and 1974. Today they make up a quarter of the Swedish housing stock, and half of them are in major need of renovation. As we are facin

Voice impersonation is a technique that has often been used by criminals whose goal is to avoid being identified while committing a crime. There are, however, other interesting cases where the police confronts a suspect with an incriminating recording, and the suspect would deny being the true speaker in that recording, and claim that it belonged to an expert impersonator. In both of these cases,

Idag finns tekniken och verktygen för att ta fram siffror, men vad siffrorna egentligen betyder och hur de ska förstås för att skapa värde är däremot tvetydigt. Syftet är att bidra med djupare förståelse för hur insamlad kunddata tillför värde till aktörer i dagligvaruhandeln. Metoden för denna uppsats är baserad på kvalitativa intervjuer med ett fallföretag i dagligvaruhandeln. Studien har en ind
