This thesis presents a comprehensive systems analysis of the impact of quality assessments, communication practices, and monitoring mechanisms on the efficiency of public procure-ment in the Swedish construction sector. Recognizing that public procurement is a corner-stone for societal infrastructure and development, the study specifically examines procure-ment regulated by the Swedish Public Proc
This meta-analysis and systematic review examined the effects of psychedelic substances on death anxiety, specifically evaluating whether psychedelic experiences are associated with statistically significant reductions in death anxiety. Studies were eligible if they quantitatively assessed death anxiety or death acceptance using validated measures, or qualitatively explored attitudes toward death
This project aims to envision the future of virtual collaboration in the year 2030. Global trends show that ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, hybrid work has become a standard in almost all job sectors, making virtual collaboration crucial for the success of hybrid teams. Although the option to work from home partially or completely has well documented outcomes of higher employee productivity and
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to comprehend female millennial consumers’ perceptions towards lingerie brands that are categorised as ‘Brand Activist Aspirants’ compared to ‘Authentic Brand Activists’. Methodology: As this research focuses on studying consumers’ perceptions, a subjective social constructionist view was taken. By using an abductive approach, an exploratory qualitative resear
For someone who has undergone an amputation, it is important to be able to decide what the prosthesis should look like. Since many people today choose to have some sort of cover on their prosthesis, either to fill the void or to regain the feeling of a leg, it is very important that it is something that the user feels comfortable with. To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event
Youth unemployment in Georgia is severe. In order to bring young people closer to the labour market, the strategy of building vocational education and training (VET) system is actively pursued. However, business engagement in this process is low, impeding the system to provide the skills and knowledge tailored to labour market needs. The purpose of the thesis is to find out the reasons behind the
Området för hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleavlyssning) och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleövervakning) är ett område som tidvis vållar stor debatt bland jurister och även bland allmänheten. få EU-rättsliga akter har nog varit så medialt uppmärksammade som datalagringsdirektivet som nyligen ogiltigförklarades av Europeiska unionens domstol. DThe area of covert interception of electronic communication (telephone tapping) and covert surveillance of electronic communication (covert telephone surveillance or metering) is an area which at times causes much debate in the legal profession and among the general public as well. There are probably few legal acts of the European Union that have received as much attention in the media as the Data
This thesis will treat the subject of constrained statistical inference and will have its focus on isotonic regression, which is the problem of estimating functions that are assumed to be monotone. A characterisation of isotonic regression and a solution to this problem will be given. The PAVA algorithm to compute the isotonic regres- sion estimator will be introduced along with asymptotic distrib
In a globalized world subjected to ongoing rapid technological development and increasingly evocative entertainment, advertisers are turning their attention to methods of provocation in an effort to induce actionable behavior from the consumer. Struggling to fight their way through the challenging environment of todays saturated market and appeal to the increasingly desensitized consumer, advertis
Imminent crises and the much-needed transition to a sustainable society bring knowledge about de-implementation to the fore. Using case studies with inspiration from process tracing, and with tools from Charles Tilly’s theory on Durable inequality, we identify mechanisms that generate inequality and counteract the implementation of recovery – and strength-based practices. Our case studies of socia
BackgroundIntravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) have been suggested as an adjunctive treatment in streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS), but there are no conclusive trials. In southern Sweden, IVIG is routinely used in certain hospitals but not in others. We hypothesized that this would resemble a natural experiment, and aimed to evaluate the effect of IVIG in STSS patients.MethodWe conducted a p
INTRODUCTION: Plasma biomarkers offer promise for improving the diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and differentiating AD and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) like frontotemporal dementia (FTD) from primary psychiatric disorders (PPDs), particularly in younger patients. METHODS: In this prospective study, we investigated plasma phosphorylated tau 217 (p-tau217), neurofilament light chain
