Events such as the 2008 financial crisis, the Eurozone debt crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic have exposed the vulnerabilities of conventional models, such as the widely used Markowitz (1952) mean-variance framework. Since this model balances risk and

Meteoritnedslag har spelat en grundläggande roll som ytmodifierande processer på jorden och andra himlakroppar. De har haft stor betydelse för omstruktureringen av jordskorpan, bassängbildning samt bildan- det av magmatisk och hydrotermal aktivitet. Av de cirka 200 nedslagsstruktur som identifierats på jorden har de flesta bildats på land, medan betydligt färre exemplar finns bevarade från marina Impact cratering has played a fundamental role as a surface modifying process on Earth and other celes- tial bodies. It has significantly influenced crustal reshaping, basin formation and the development of magmatic ac- tivity and hydrothermal systems. Of the roughly 200 impact structures that have been identified on Earth, the ma- jority occurred on land, with significantly fewer known examples p

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how

Staden är ett lappverk av fragment. Lager på lager av material som funnits och använts, förändrats och förvanskats, fortsatt existera och försvunnit. Lager på lager av historier, berättelser och minnen som formats av och format materialen och rummen. Allting ihoptrasslat; en dialog mellan det som varit, det som är och det som kan bli. I kuststaden Varberg har hamnområdet avvecklats och flyttats fThe city is a patchwork of fragments. Layer upon layer of materials that have existed and been used, altered and distorted, continued to exist and disappeared. Layer upon layer of stories, narratives, and memories shaped by, and shaping, the materials and spaces. Everything is entangled; a dialogue between what has been, what is, and what might be. In the coastal city of Varberg, the port area ha

This thesis explores how young Swedish consumers interpret retro branding by analyzing their engagement with advertisements through a semiotic lens. Using Pierce's triadic model and Hall's conceptual map, we examined the way young consumers interpret retro branding stimuli in the form of video advertisement. We showed two advertisements from the same brand, FILA, a retro campaign and a con

Entrepreneurial intentions have been identified as a relevant precursor to entrepreneurial behavior; however, the complexities of entrepreneurial intention remain under-explored. This study examines the impact of offspring involvement with parental businesses on their entrepreneurial career intentions and the indirect roles of perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. Building primarily on

The development of 6G network management technology relies on the solution of large-scale combinatorial optimization (CO) problems on graphs. Many of these problems are NP-hard and must be solved approximately in practice. Despite decades of research and development, classical heuristics and approximation algorithms still struggle with accuracy and the computational demands of scaling to large pro

This thesis investigates the feasibility and performance of implementing attention-based machine learning models for high-precision cellular localization on low-power hardware. While such models, particularly those using the self-attention mechanism, have demonstrated impressive accuracy in extracting spatial information from wireless signals, they typically rely on GPU acceleration, limiting thei

This bachelor’s degree project investigates the improvement of the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of forearm crutches for people living with temporary or chronic mobility limitations. The target group of individuals aged 40-65 reflects a wide range of lifestyles, from short-distance mobility to commuting. Through interviews and observations with individuals that belong to the target group,

This work seeks to investigate and answer how different perspectives during the sketching process can influence a project’s design and decision-making, as well as how it is expressed in the finished result. I mean to exemplify how the approach can be used as a tool to more strategically and fundamentally explore one’s own sketching process, to understand what really control and motivate critical d

Syftet med denna uppsats är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur poliser upplever och hanterar möten med personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa och missbruksproblematik samt hur de positionerar sitt yrkesansvar i relation till andra samhällsaktörer. Uppsatsen utgår från Thomas F. Gieryns teori om gränsarbete, men bygger vidare på Andreas Liljegrens uppdelning av teorin för att tydligare särskilja olika

This thesis explores how Japanese cultural experience professionals act as cultural intermediaries to mediate Japanese culture for foreign tourists in the context of increasingly popular cultural tourism. This research employs a micro ethnographic methodology and thematic analysis of participant observation notes, semi structured interviews, photographic materials, and online comments to explore h
