The objective of this study is to investigate the dynamic correlations and volatility spillover effect between the financial stress index (FSI), exchange rates, and gold prices among Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS countries) over the period between February 2014 and February 2024. The FSI is established using the principal component analysis approach for each country to evalu
In times of climate change, climate-related disaster displacement is becoming a growing issue. While the vast majority of disaster displaced people move within their country or to a neighbouring country (within a region), there are also people who move between regions and to Europe (interregional). However, there is currently no global legally binding framework that regulates the protection of the

As we know our population keeps growing and our cities are getting denser, urban sprawl is a phenomenon that affects a big part of our society. Research has shown that urban sprawl lacks consideration for human interactions and has an absence of proper urban planning. Multiple types of barriers have made it more and more difficult to create a sense of community within this environment. Moreover, d
Children do not have many spaces designed entirely for their needs in our world. This has inspired the concept of ‘A Child’s Garden City’. The idea includes research of how children can be included in design and the process of creating safer cities with their considerations in the center. This Master’s Thesis can inspire the relationship between growing natural vegetation, self-sustaining infrastr
Youth intimate partner violence (Youth IPV) has long been an overlooked field of research, but an increasing number of recent studies are showing the extent and severity of the problem. Health care plays an important role in identifying Youth IVP, but there are no official guidelines regarding which profession within health care should have the responsibility, knowledge, or competence to identify
Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen att utnyttja sex sidoströmmar/exportströmmar från den svenska livsmedelsindustrin till livsmedel för människor. Sidoströmmar som inte är industriens huvudsakliga syfte men skulle kunna bidra med näring. I dagsläget går majoriteten av strömmarna till produktion av biobränsle eller till djurfoder. En litteraturstudie genomfördes där strömmarnas avkastning, egensThis thesis investigates the potential to utilise six side streams/export streams from the Swedish food industry for human consumption in times of crisis. Side streams that are not the industry’s main purpose but could still contribute to nutrition. Currently, these streams are going to biofuel production or production of animal feed. The aim of this master thesis is therefore to study the potenti
I denna masteruppsats undersöks effekten av skjutningar och bombdåd på bostadspriser i Göteborg med hjälp av regression discontinuity-analys (RD). Uppsatsen använder data från bostadsförsäljningar och brottsincidenter mellan 2018 och 2024 för att analysera hur dessa våldshändelser påverkar fastighetsmarknaden. Resultaten visar på att det är stor variation i RD-skattningarna och att ingen tydlig ef

Problematic school absenteeism among students attending compulsory or upper-level lower secondary school has come to increase dramatically in recent years. This study aims to get an overview of the cooperation between organizations regarding professional work with the target group, and survey possible important factors during the development of problematic school absenteeism. We used a qualitative
This master’s thesis explores the objectives of packaging regulations and translates them into guidelines for a company’s packaging decision-making process. The thesis was done in collaboration with Axis Communications AB, where the current packaging practices were analyzed. This was followed by analyzing the requirements of packaging regulations in the EU (such as PPWD and upcoming PPWR) and othe
Denna studie undersöker hur behandlingspersonalen, den primära arbetsgruppen på Statens institutionsstyrelse som jobbar med nära klientkontakt, upplever sina arbetsförhållanden och sin arbetsroll. Mot bakgrund av den begränsade forskningen kring arbetsgruppen och deras förhållanden, syftar studien till att synliggöra behandlingspersonalens subjektiva upplevelser av sin livsvärld.

Healthcare professionals frequently request competence development regarding the implications of Parkinson’s disease for those who are affected and their special needs. New employees at nursing homes are often taught by experienced healthcare staff, but there is no disease-specific-education. Consequently, there is no system that ensures a standardized level of competence within and between health
Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in up to 5% of worldwide pregnancies. It is a complex disease characterised by sudden onset hypertension, and it is harmful to the mother as well as the growing baby, accounting for 40% of fetal deaths worldwide. The disease can be divided into early and late-onset PE, defined as diagnosis earlier or later than 34 weeks of gestation. Despite decades of research, the cause
This thesis explores the potential of incorporating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into User Experience (UX) Research Operations (ResearchOps) within an organisational context. Design Science Research (DSR) was employed to develop and evaluate a method that incorporates AI to enhance user research activities. The research involved conducting qualitative interviews with UX professionals at Alpha to u
This study assesses the Vård- och omsorgscollege (VOC) program in Sweden, which integrates the skill demands of local healthcare employers with local vocational education. Utilizing a staggered Difference-in-Difference approach, this study reveals that the program has significantly reduced youth unemployment and enhanced the labor supply of assistant nurses, with a pronounced impact on female part
Högerpopulismens framväxt under de senaste decennierna är idag ett faktum. Även i Sverige har denna ideologiska familj nått nya höjder på grund av Sverigedemokraternas historiskt snabba valframgångar och med SDs intåg i riksdagen 2010 introducerades även ett nytt begrepp i den svenska politiken, nämligen svenskfientlighet. Denna uppsats har, genom en kritisk diskursanalys, studerat SDs användning
This thesis explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance practices within leading Nordic companies, focusing on Ericsson, Vestas, and Ørsted. Through a qualitative analysis supplemented by quantitative metrics, the research examines how regulatory environments, stakeholder engagements, and innovative practices influence the adoption and implementation of ESG strategies. The re
In this thesis, we present the efforts towards finding an improved implementation of the newly proposed Born Spreading method for reduction of negative S weights in the MC@NLO matching prescription. The improved implementations are tested on various LHC processes with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (MG5_aMC) and compared to default MG5_aMC, 2×2×1 folding and default Born Spreading. The runtime in each step and
This thesis investigates the melting process of recycled heavily oxidized car chillers, focusing on the economic viability and environmental impact of recirculating secondary low alloy aluminum products into production. Utilizing practical insights from Company BRYNE AB and their LOOP technology, the study addresses the challenges in measuring oxides and impurities and trace elements during the me
