Utifrån kvalitativ data baserat på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra mellanstadielärare som undervisar i teknik utforskar studien både hur digitala lärverktyg används i praktiken i klassrummet och hur organisatoriska förutsättnin

Minimalist Branding has become popular as a branding technique in a time of visual overload and growing customer distrust. With an emphasis on cultural and age differences, this study investigates whether minimalist branding increases or decreases consumer trust. Using a qualitative research design built upon constructivism and interpretivism, this study conducted five focus group discussions invo

Six silos stand as surreal monolithic objects amongst the newly developed housing area in Limhamn, Malmö. They are one of the last reminders of the district’s cement manufacturing history and have a controversial presence in their central urban position with plans to convert their plot into a mixed-use housing development. This thesis project centers around these underutilized voids in the city an

Increased emphasis on sustainable practices and reducing the global warming potential (GWP) kg CO2 equivalent emissions of buildings and construction processes to mitigate climate change has led to a growing interest in refurbishment and transformation of existing buildings. However, balancing daylight provision with environmental impact targets can be challenging, especially in high-latitude Nord

Adoption of people analytics (PA) tools in human resources (HR) remains limited, despite increasing efforts to democratize data across organizations. This thesis examined how three change management facilitators, namely leadership support, training programs, and “What’s In It For Me” campaigns, relate to HR professionals’ use of PA dashboards. Using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a frame

En podd om undergången kan få oss att tänka på framtiden Hur vi påverkas av att ta del av berättelser om en dyster framtid skiljer sig åt. Hos vissa väcks ett driv att se till så att det inte går fullt så illa. Men det kan också få en att känna att allt är kört och att vi lika gärna kan ge upp. Vad gör det med oss att föreställa oss att vi inte kan stoppa klimatförändringarna? Och att vår planetThe future in a world of climate change is yet to be written. In this study I explore how climate change and its consequences can be framed in dystopian and apocalyptic visions of the future. This is done by studying a Swedish radio podcast called P3 Dystopia. I also research what views the listeners of the podcast express regarding climate change and through which discourses these views can be un

Människor i hjälpande roller upplever i stor utsträckning arbetsrelaterad stress, vilket för många resulterar i utbrändhet eller annan psykisk ohälsa. Utvecklandet av självmedkänsla kan enligt forskare ha en skyddande effekt mot bland annat utbrändhet. Korta compassionfokuserade interventioner har i tidigare studier visats bidra till just ökad självmedkänsla och minskad stress. Syftet med den aktuPeople in helping professions experience a great deal of work-related stress, which for many result in burnout or other mental health issues. Developing self-compassion can, according to researchers, have a protective effect against burnout, among other things. Previous studies on brief compassion focused interventions have shown an improvement in self-compassion and reduced stress. The purpose of

De senaste åren har fastighetsbolagen fått hantera ett stigande ränteläge från historiskt låga nivåer. Ökningen av styrräntan började under 2022 och sen dess har många fastighetsbolag haft en utmanande period, inte minst på världens börser. I media har det skrivits om att många fastighetsbolag har haft svårt att hantera de ökade räntekostnaderna. Fastighetsbolag bygger ofta på en relativt hög belåFor the past few years, the commercial real estate companies in Sweden have been affected by rising interest rates from previously low levels. The interest rates started to rise at the beginning of 2022, a challenging period for most of the commercial real estate companies. This can not only be seen in the companies financial data but also on the stock market. The media has written about the chall

The gig economy has expanded rapidly across the globe, and has become an increasingly influential feature of modern labour markets. The flexibility and autonomy offered by gig work coupled with the ability to earn a steady income are recognised benefits by many workers on digital platforms. These benefits can work synergistically with entrepreneurship, which is often characterised by uncertain tim

Tänk dig att vegetationen till ett närliggande naturområde var helt täckt av rödbruna rostlager. Faktum är att befolkningen i Kristianstad fick bevittna detta längs med strandängarna intill Helge å efter stora översvämningar under sommaren 2007. Metallutfällningarna som huvudsakligen bestod av järn och aluminium påverkar omkringliggande natur och djurliv negativt. Frågan är vart föroreningarna kLeakage of iron and aluminium from acid sulphate soils has received more and more recognition in Sweden during recent years. Research show that key drivers for this release of metals is lowered groundwater levels and aeration of sulphide soils which turns the soils into acidic sulphate soils. This can cause exstensive degradation of the surrounding environment which has been observed downstrea

I många aerodynamiska höghastighets-applikationer som t.ex. raketmotorer och vindtunnlar används ett så kallat konvergerande-divergerande munstycke, vilket är en rörformad del där tvärsnittsarean först minskar och sedan ökar. Sådana munstycken används ofta för att accelerera luft till supersoniska hastigheter, vilket innebär att det flödar snabbare än ljudets hastighet som är ungefär 343 m/s. Vid This thesis investigates the potential of using Fourier neural operators to predict subsonic and supersonic flows in converging-diverging nozzles, which includes complex flow phenomena such as shock waves. Two different data sets were generated using the Euler equations for fluid flow, one based on analytical relations for a quasi one-dimensional nozzle and another one which was created by numeric

This study investigates how EPU affects stock returns and volatility for Sweden’s four largest banks: Swedbank, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken, Svenska Handelsbanken, and Nordea. As a small open economy with a concentrated and globally exposed banking sector, Sweden is particularly vulnerable to both domestic and international uncertainty shocks. Using monthly data from 2000 to 2024, we apply a GAR

The climate crisis will continue to threaten coastal cities. The mitigation method of building seawalls along the coast is often seen as an effective remedy for recurring floods. However, this infrastructure can have severe impacts on communities that rely on fishing and aquaculture. There need to be alternatives to the usual urban planning and design methods, which often overlook less fortunate

Kan klimatförändringar göra Sverige till ett vinland? I Skåne har vinodlingen vuxit kraftigt under de senaste decennierna. Denna studie undersöker hur vinodlare i regionen ser på klimatets roll i utvecklingen – och hur de planerar för en framtid som blir allt mer osäker. Att vin produceras i Skåne är ett relativt nytt fenomen. För några decennier sedan ansågs klimatet vara för kallt och instabiltAs climate change reshapes agricultural possibilities across Europe, new crops are emerging in previously marginal regions. In Skåne, southern Sweden, commercial wine production has expanded in recent years. This study explores how local winegrowers perceive the role of climate change in this development, what climate-related risks and opportunities they foresee, and what strategies they adopt to

Genom att skapa en digital modell som kontinuerligt uppdateras med realtidsdata och kopplas samman med fysiska byggnader, möjliggörs det övervakning, analysering och optimering av byggnadens prestanda. Syftet med studien haThe construction industry is undergoing a digital transformation, where technologies such as digital twins, artificial intelligence (AI), and Internet of Things (IoT) are increasingly being implemented. By creating a digital model that is continuously updated with real-time data and connected to a physical building, it becomes possible to monitor, analyse and optimize building performance. The pu

This study aimed to examine and analyze how social workers perceive the new Social Service Act and its ambition to reduce individual needs evaluations. The new Social Service Act also includes increased access to receive social support without social workers’ decision-making. The study aims to generate an understanding of social workers' experiences regarding their professional practice relate

As issues regarding social security and gang violence have risen, safety has become a central concern, both internationally and in Sweden. Several strategies have been developed to counter the possibility of committing crime by changing the urban design and use of public space, including in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. One approach that has emerged from this is Crime Prevention Through
