Kommunala miljöförvaltningars tillsyn av vård-/äldreboendes beredskap för värmeböljor

Att man blir trött och hängig av värme känner nog de flesta till, men de flesta av oss klarar det tack vare skugga, solskydd och vätska. Men under en intensiv och långvarig värmebölja kan det bli riktigt allvarligt om du är äldre och samtidigt har en i övrigt vacklande hälsa. Under senare år och inte minst under den senaste värmeböljan sommaren 2018 insåg många verksamhetsutövare för vård-/äldreboIn recent years, heat waves have begun to be perceived as one of the biggest problems due to climate change. The Public Health Agency, which is the national supervisory guidance regarding health effects, has therefore updated its guidelines to ensure that regions and municipalities have sufficient information to carry out inspections in accordance with the Environmental Code.

“A sign that the law is broken” A socio-legal study on an organization of pedophile hunters in Sweden

In turn of recent events and societal discussions, this argument can be asserted. An organization, called Dumpen, has since 2021 lobbied for children's rights, especially preventing children from bei

Surveying inner source adoption in IKEA

Open source-baserad utveckling har senaste åren mött ökat intresse och erkännande inom mjukvaruindustrin. Dessa metoder anpassas och implementeras inom olika organisationer, så kallad inner source, vilket innebär att principer och metoder från open source-utveckling tillämpas inom en intern kontext. Detta examensarbete fokuserar på en granskning av IKEAs nuvarande mjukvaruutvecklingsprocesser genOpen source has lately been gaining more traction and recognition in the software industry. The practices are being implemented within various organisations through an approach known as inner source, which involves taking the principles and practices that have been proven effective in open source environments and applying them within an internal context. This thesis focuses on an exploration of I

Adopting robots in an IT service desk: A qualitative study on critical success factors for adoption of RPA within IT service desks

Since Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is expected to have the potential of bringing substantial benefits to many of today’s businesses, RPA initiatives are taking an increasingly bigger role in various organizations. Previous research has identified a lack of guidelines in successfully adopting RPA. This deficit includes, but is not limited to a knowledge gap in the adoption of RPA by IT service

Causality of small firm growth: Towards a model of relations among challenges SMEs face while growing, solutions to them and aspects of the context of the growth

Even though researchers have investigated the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) for decades, we know little about the challenges they face due to their growth, what are the aspects of the context in which they emerge, and how they are addressed. Current literature provides even less knowledge about the causality of SME growth. This study, in the form of an explorative single case

The Risk Spillover Effect Between the EUA Carbon Market and Carbon-intensive Sectors in European Stock Markets

This study examines the risk spillover effect between European emission allowance (EUA) carbon price and the indices of energy-intensive industries in the stock market in the European countries. To achieve this, we employ the Diebold and Yilmaz model to investigate both the static and dynamic risk spillover effect and discuss the impact of the economic conditions and policy changes on the carbon m

From Kink and Fetish to BIPOC and Trans: The Diversification of a Multi-Generational Nonprofit

Diversity, equity, and inclusion have become an important part of justice work in today’s society. Nevertheless, many non-profits still fail to diversify.

This study aims to better understand these processe

The two choices of strategy are divesting the asset or using active ownership methodology by communicating with the asset. To examine the performance of the funds, Jensen’s alpha, Sharpe ratio, Information ratio and Treynor ratio is calculat

Formability Evaluation

This project investigates the possibility of using material thickness measurements of pressed stainless steel (316L) and titanium (grade 1) sheet metal to evaluate material formabil- ity. The ultimate goal of this project is to replace the current subjective visual material formability evaluation with an objective method. This project attempts to build relation- ships between material surface defe

Eye-Movement Correlates of Pattern Separation in a Mnemonic Similarity Task Modified with Naturalistic Scenes

Pattern separation is one of the central operations of episodic memory. Tasks that evaluate the pattern separation usually base their assessments on the behavioral recall of simple objects or words and are far from real-life experiences and daily memory performance. Thus, typical tasks that assess pattern separation lack ecological validity. To address this issue, we designed a mnemonic memory tes

How does the Weakened Swedish Krona Impact the Inflation? A Bayesian VAR Analysis of Exchange Rate Pass-Through

Exchange rate pass-through to prices differ depending on the underlying shock. Furthermore, the mechanisms causing inflation behave diversely, conditional on why the exchange rate fluctuates. This paper investigates how prices react relative to the exchange rate movements, i.e., the exchange rate pass-through, following specific shocks, how the frequency of price adjustment is affected by shocks,
