Vi står inför en av tidernas största utmaningar - att minska vår miljöpåverkan. I dagens samhälle kommer en allt ökande del av människans miljöpåverkan från överkonsumtion, vilket ger upphov till avfall. Det pågår ett aktivt förändringsarbete i både EU och Sverige som ska minska mängden förpackningsavfall och skapa mer resurser till ett cirkulärt flöde. Från och med 1 januari 2024 infördes även nyPackaging waste is an active environmental problem. There is an ongoing process of change in both the EU and Sweden to reduce the amount of packaging waste and create more resources for a circular flow. Considering this, there are contexts, despite new legislation, where single-use packaging will still be offered. Therefore it becomes significant to understand how the consumer can be influenced in

This project presents a study on the calibration methodologies for OTA testing in CATR chamber, focusing on the frequency span of 18 GHz to 110 GHz. We introduce a single-antenna method, proving it more efficient and accurate than tra- ditional multi-antenna setups. The research also delves into the challenges of high- frequency signal testing in 5G and upcoming 6G communications. These challenges

Leadership has long been a major interest worldwide and the subject has been studied and defined in different areas. Leadership styles have emerged, and leadership styles in social work have been highlighted as having altruistic traits, which are central in a street-level bureaucracy. Being the closest manager to social workers means being the first-line manager. This middle management position an

Managing work and other responsibilities while being efficient and open to work changes has become increasingly difficult for employees. There is even more pressure on social workers, or more specifically, mental health workers given the nature of their job which not only includes working with clients but also making the decision to reject some individuals due to a packed schedule.

Integrationen av Artificiell Intelligens (AI) i läkemedelsutvecklingen medför betydande möjligheter och etiska utmaningar, särskilt med användning av komplexa "Black Box" AI-system. Denna studie undersöker hur läkemedelsindustrin hanterar etiska frågor kopplade till AI, med fokus på efterlevnad av EU:s regelverk, inklusive Assessment List for Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (ALTAI) sThe integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into drug development introduces significant opportunities and ethical challenges, particularly with the use of complex "Black Box" AI systems. This study investigates how the drug development industry addresses ethical concerns associated with AI, focusing on compliance with European Union (EU) regulations, including the Assessment List fo

Historiskt sett har Bitcoin ansetts vara en volatil tillgång utan koppling till traditionella investeringar som S&P 500. Därför har investerare kunnat använda Bitcoin som en "säker hamn" under nedgångar på börsen. Under COVID-19 skedde dock en oväntad förändring - korrelationen mellan Bitcoin och börsindex ökade kraftigt. I detta examensarbete undersöker vi om detta var en tillfälligThis thesis investigates the dynamic correlation between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin returns from 2018 to 2024. To capture potential regime-specific dynamics, a Markov Switching Model is employed to segment each return data into two distinct states characterized by high or low volatility, using a LASSO regression to find the appropriate explanatory variables for the returns. Univariate GARCH(1,1)

EU taxonomin är både en betydande drivkraft och incitament för fastighetsbolagens arbete med klimatanpassning av sina bestånd. Däremot är det väldigt få större kilmatanpassningsåtgärder som genomförts av fastighetsbolagen i dagsläget. Det anses från studiens resultat bero på bland annat taxonomins nyliga introduktion, svårigheterna med att monetärt kunna värdera klimatanpassningsåtgärderna, ansvarEU’s green Taxonomy is a key incentive and framework to accelerate the transition towards a sustainable future. This has brought significant changes to the real estate sector's climate adaptation efforts. The Taxonomy and related reporting requirements remain relatively new, leading to limited research and uncertainty about their implementation. This study aims to analyze the impact of unclear

Att anställda trivs på sin arbetsplats är viktigt och bidrar till ett effektivare arbete. Det är därmed av stort intresse att ha kunskap om vad som predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse hos de anställda.
