One particular approach of behavioral economics has gained attention within environmental politics during the last decade. The idea of nudging (“gently pushing”) people in situations of decision-making towards the choice that in the long run is best for them as well as for the society and/or the environment seems to attract policy makers around the world. Many governments inside and outside the EU

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

Today's security cameras typically capture either color images based on visible light or grayscale images based on both visible and near-infrared (NIR) light. This means that the performance is limited in situations where it is unclear which kind of image to capture. At dusk, for example, the visible light may not be sufficient to capture good-quality color images. On the other hand, capturing

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

In large corporations, customer support is a costly service, and an area of constant optimization. Solutions to increase efficiency and decrease bottlenecks are constantly needed. One such bottleneck is support tool proficiency in a customer support organization where many different tools are used, and a potential solution is to let the tool guide the user as it is being used. This thesis explores

Den 21 november tillsatte den dåvarande regeringen en utredning för att se över regleringen av frihetsberövande påföljder som unga lagöverträdare kan dömas för. Augusti 2023 presenterade den svenska regeringen ett förslag om att införa ungdomsfängelser. Denna utredning uttryckte ett nödvändigt behov av förändrade och skärpta påföljder för unga lagöverträdare. Utredningen menar att behovet är starkIn November 2021, the Swedish government at the time appointed an investigation to review the regulation of custodial sanctions that young offenders may be sentenced to. In August 2023, the Swedish government published the investigation. This investigation expressed a necessary need for change and stricter sanctions for young people. The investigation argues that the need is strong against the bac

An estimated 6% of human greenhouse gas emissions are the result of enteric methane production by cows. Asparagopsis taxiformis, a semi-tropical alga, is one solution. Supplementation of this alga to cows at a small percentage of their daily intake has reduced methane emissions by over 98% in trials. This success has led to multiple commercialization attempts globally, although no Asparagopsis tax

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

The study shows that while auditors rely on their financial audit expertise, the CSRD introduces new complexities requiring interdisciplinary knowledge and enhanced social support structures. Despite the high level of detail and comprehensiveness in the CSRD provisions, applying the directive in practice demands auditors to engage in subjective interpretive work at both the client and regulatory l

This thesis presents the development of a binary classifier, which classifies homes as occupied or not. This was done using two different types of neural networks; standard feedforward networks and LSTM-networks. The input to these networks was sensor data collected from devices created by Minut AB. Data from previously used automatic alarm feature was used as ground truth. A major part of the pro

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

Research question: Are sustainability reports credible? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify if sustainability reports are credible with the help of a content analysis. Methodology: With the use of CONI-model which consists part of a quantitative and part qualitative content analysis results can be analyzed more in depth. This study focuses on six related categories which are respon

Denna uppsats behandlar upphovsrättsliga intrång vid myntandet av Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs). Samtidigt som en ny värld av möjligheter har öppnat upp sig för rättighetsinnehavare och kreatörer i samband med NFTs framväxt har också en rad juridiska problem och otydligheter uppkommit. Teknikens utveckling sker i en hastighet som juridiken sällan kan upprätthålla. Tillämpligheten och kompatibilitetenThe introduction of Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on the digital crypto market provides copyright holders new opportunities to exhibit, distribute and capitalize on their works. NFTs are cryptographic tokens connected to specified assets. The assets are usually digital files, but NFTs can be connected to tangible assets as well. The connection between a NFT and an asset is made in the creation proces

Organic solar cells employing fullerenes blended with conjugated polymers as the main light-absorbing material have achieved power conversion efficiencies exceeding 10%. They hold promise as an alternative energy source with many advantages in terms of long-term sustainability and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Detailed information on the electronic and geometric structure of the molecules invo

The present article argues that the fact that personal data holds great value, in combination with a lack of transparency in its commercial use, leads to a need for consumer policy that strengthens consumer protection. The widespread practice of user agreements and consent-based regulation of personal data collection is not satisfactory for balancing these information-asymmetric markets. The lack
