As globalization increasingly shapes modern workplaces, multicultural teams have become a standard feature. While such teams bring diverse perspectives and enhance problem-solving capabilities, they also face persistent challenges in communication, trust, and collaboration. Leadership plays a decisive role in determining whether diversity fosters synergy or results in fragmentation. This study exa

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur personlighet och frågetyp påverkar vittnens noggrannhet i minnesförmågan. Studien syftar till att bidra till psykologisk forskning om vittnesminnen, med tanke på de allvarliga konsekvenser som minnesfel kan ha. Data samlades in genom två digitala enkäter som administrerades till vuxna deltagare. Enkäterna bestod av tre delar: ett personlighetstest, en vThe aim of this study is to investigate how personality and question type influence memory recall accuracy of witnesses. The study seeks to contribute to psychological research on eyewitness memory due to the substantial consequences it has, despite proving fallible. Data collection was done through two digital surveys given to adults. The surveys contained three segments—a personality assessment,

Intro: This study explores the extent to which exercise therapy lowers depression, anxiety, and drug cravings in patients diagnosed with Substance Use Disorder and chronic smokers who are unable to quit independently. Methods: A literature search was conducted until March 2024; journal credibility was confirmed via h-5 index. In total, nineteen randomized and nonrandomized trials (n = 707) were ac

This dissertation will analyse three books. They are, in chronological order, La Colmena, by Camilio José Cela (1951), Historias de Kronen, by José Ángel Mañas (1994), and Amor, curiosidad, prozac, y dudas, by Lucía Etxebarría (1997). Etxebarría's book will be discussed before Mañas', since there are so many parallels between Amor... and La Colmena. Even though more than 40 years have pass

In this thesis, I present the full design process of developing a cargo bike concept aimed at improving the work environment for park and city maintenance workers, using Velove’s cargo bike as the baseplate. I worked in close collaboration with Lunds Kommun and their park maintenance workers to get first-hand knowledge about how the current products are used and how my project could fit into their

This paper is concerned with the estimation of unknown drift functions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) from observations of their sample paths. We propose to formulate this as a non-parametric Gaussian process regression problem and use an Ito-Taylor expansion for approximating the SDE. To address the computational complexity problem of Gaussian process regression, we cast the model in

Experimental results from student and other non-representative convenience samples often suggest that men, on average, are more risk taking and competitive than women. We explore whether these gender preference gaps also exist in incentivized tasks in a simple random sample of the Swedish adult population. Our design comprises four different conditions to systematically explore how the experimenta

Random indexing (RI) is a lightweight dimension reduction method, which is used, for example, to approximate vector semantic relationships in online natural language processing systems. Here we generalise RI to multidimensional arrays and therefore enable approximation of higher-order statistical relationships in data. The generalised method is a sparse implementation of random projections, which

The rapid integration of physical systems with cyberspace infrastructure, the so-called Internet of Things, is likely to have a significant effect on how people interact with the physical environment and design information and communication systems. Internet-connected systems are expected to vastly outnumber people on the planet in the near future, leading to grand challenges in software engineeri

Med sina markanta valframgångar befäster högerradikala (populistiska) partier (RRP) sin närvaro i många västerländska demokratier. Det är väldokumenterat att etablerade partier ändrar sina politiska ståndpunkter och sin framtoning i valrörelser för att möta utmaningen från RRP:s, men hur dessa strategier utvecklas i parlamenten är fortfarande ett outforskat område. I den här avhandlingen fokuserarWith their increasing electoral success, radical right (populist) parties (RRPs) are consolidating their presence in many western democracies. It is well-documented that mainstream parties alter policy positions and issue salience during elections to meet the RRP challenge, yet how these strategies unfold in parliament remains an area to be explored. In this dissertation, I focus on two attributes
