This thesis investigates the link between the water and sanitation environment mothers are exposed to during pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes in Mali, specifically early neonatal mortality and low birth weight. The motivation and contribution for this analysis is that little research has been done on this topic, specifically in the Sub-Saharan African region and with the combination of tho
The Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity to evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy by investigating how fiscal stimuli aided recovery from the pandemic in Sweden. As Covid-19 have led to increased concerns of unsustainable debt levels, questions of how government spending has affected the economic rebound and fiscal sustainability arises. To tackle these questions, I evaluate pre-existing
Examensarbetets titel: Korsar avgrunden - En multipel fallstudie om arbetet hos två uppstartsföretag inom tekniksektorn med organisationsinriktningar och kommersialisering av radikala innovationer Seminariedatum: 2 Juni 2023 Ämne/kurs: FEKH29, Företagsekonomi: Examensarbete i marknadsföring på kandidatnivå, 15 högskolepoäng Författare: Albert Johansson, Alexander Kokko & David Lamorell Han
This thesis aims to explore and shed light on food safety within the student nations at Lund University located within Lund municipality and Uppsala University within Uppsala municipality. The main question being addressed is, "Is the food served at these student nations safe to consume?". A method surrounding review of control reports, survey research, and a literature review has been
I Sverige råder en del kunskapsluckor inom forskning som studerar rasism: utbredningen av rasism/etnisk diskriminering och dess konsekvenser. Samtidigt vittnar internationell forskning om samband mellan utsatthet för rasism och psykisk ohälsa. Denna studie hade delvis ett kartläggande syfte för att i svensk kontext undersöka frekvens av etnisk diskriminering, psykisk ohälsa (negativa mentala häls
With an increase in temperature (T) and a change in precipitation (P) patterns due to climate change, global conditions for tree growth are changing and shifting. While some areas experience an increase in P, favoring tree growth, many regions are also predicted to show a decrease in P, leading to trends of desertification. This study examines the projected climate change in Nigeria, located in Su
This bachelor thesis studies a specific recurring trend from the 1990’s, which in this case is exemplified as dungarees, or as more commonly used, overalls. To understand the essence of this trend and why it’s recurring, a semiotic analysis is applied to the study and to understand the qualitative values it houses, such as social practices and structures, as well as signs, codes and symbolism, wil
This Master thesis is investigating how communities of practice can enhance knowledge sharing in a context of improving a harmonized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used in supply chain. A student from the faculty of production and materials engineering at Lund university (LTH) collaborated with the Global Trinity organization from Alfa Laval (Lund, Sweden) to answer the research que
In 1988 Hills proposed that stars can gain velocities above 500 km s−1 if they are in a stellar binary which gets disrupted by a super massive black hole (SMBH). One of the stars would get trapped in an elliptical orbit around the SMBH while the other gets ejected and obtains a relatively high velocity. Normally stars within galaxies have low peculiar velocities but stars ejected with velocities o
The following study examines the nature of subjective well-being in a working context. The purpose of this research is to find out which dimensions are most central to well-being in the workplace. Thus, a questionnaire was used to gather information about the different dimensions (i.e., work engagement, job satisfaction, life satisfaction, personality, and well-being at the workplace). The statist
Purpose - This thesis examines MCS in Swedish companies. The purpose of the thesis is to assess formal and informal controls to understand how companies use them to effectively integrate a sustainability strategy in their organisation and implement CSR activities into practice. In this context the study addresses the research question: How do different leading Swedish companies, in terms of su
I samband med två konserttillfällen undersöks om högre musikutbildningar gör skillnad för individens lyssnande och ifall det påverkar hur vi lyssnar på och värderar olika typer av musik och genrer. Musikutbildningens påverkan på musiklyssnande undersöks. Målgrupperna på de två konserterna var medvetet olika. De två konserterna spelades dels för en publik som ej studerat musik och för en publik somIn connection with two concert occasions, I investigated whether higher music education makes a difference to the individual's listening and whether it affects how we listen to and value different types of music and genres. The effect a higher music education has on our ability to listen to music is the research topic. The target groups at the two concerts were deliberately different. They had
Forskningsfrågor: Vilken typ av lagerhållningsstrategi väljer företag att tillämpa under osäkerhet? Är just-in-time-modellen förlegad? Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka hur lagerhanteringen hos företagen har sett ut och hur osäkerheter i omvärlden påverkar företagens val av lagerhantering. Metod: Uppsatsen grundar sig på en kvalitativ undersökning med ett abduktivt synsätt där en inteResearch question: What inventory management strategy do companies implement during uncertainty? Is the just-in-time model outdated? Purpose: The study aims to explore how uncertainties in the external environment influences companies' inventory management practices. Methodology: This thesis employs an abductive quantitative research approach, utilizing an interview and questionnaire to s
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of information asymmetry displayed in the initial return, and post-IPO financing. Additionally, how sponsor certification influences IPOs and in the post-IPO financing as a means to reduce information asymmetry. Methodology: The study was conducted based on a quantitative research method, followed by a deductive approach, which in
In this project, I wish to take a glance at what WiFi routers can do in the future. The new solution could make the current WiFi routers have more physical meaning which can impact our real life while providing indispensable wifi signals. Besides offering WiFi signals, WiFi routers adopted with FTTR all-optical networking solutions can control and monitor all the IoT smart devices connected to the
This thesis presents a qualitative study, which investigates how active members of various climate movements in Sweden utilize civil disobedience as a tool for political change, and their relationship with the political and legal systems. Data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with activists from Sweden, Hungary and Denmark, as well as observations of two court hearings. The stu
The chirality-flow formalism has been proven to simplify the calculation of helicity amplitudes, both analytically and in a first numerical implementation developed as an extension of MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. Expanding on this work, two new implementations have been developed. The first provides an alternative algorithm for the evaluation of diagrams, where helicity amplitudes are obtained by combining
