This study examines the effects on risk-minimisation by incorporating emerging market equities in a portfolio, from the perspective of a Swedish investor. Since investors usually care about returns these are also a part of the study. The hypothesis is that the international diversification benefits will outweigh the higher risks of emerging market equities. The analysis is conducted on 267 monthly
In my master's thesis, I explore the post-war scenario in Ukraine, focusing on the aftermath of the conflict. My primary objective is to formulate a comprehensive strategy that not only accelerates the reconstruction process but also promotes sustainable growth in a targeted area. For my project, I have chosen the city of Kherson. Positioned as a vital port city on the Black Sea and the Dniep

Enzymerna som användes var α-Amylas, β-Amylas och Amyloglukosidas, tre enzymer som o
This study has been conducted to show the meaning of how background factors and attitudes affect the usage of chemical products in urban gardens in Lund. This was performed with the use of a questionnaire that was sent out to two Facebook groups, Lunds Trädgårdssällskap and another private group oriented towards people who live in or come from Lund. From an environmental perspective, this study is
E-waste is one of the largest environmental hazards of the modern era. As more products are thrown away, more hazardous chemicals and pollutants are put into both the landfills and water systems, some of which is drinking water for not just people but also animals and plants. Repairing these devices allows them to have a longer lifespan which minimises e-waste. The RtR movement has sought to make
Klimatförändringar är en ökande verklighet för många människor, sätter vår framtid på spel, och ställer krav på hur vi kan skapa förändring. Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att undersöka forskningsfrågan om natursyn påverkar individens miljövänligt beteende, samt replikerade tidigare forskning som visat att kvinnor tenderar att vara mer miljövänliga än män. En enkät bestående av 12 frågorClimate change is an increasing reality for many people, risking our future and demanding ways to mitigate the process. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the research question regarding if perception of nature has an impact on pro-environmental behavior, as well as replicating previous research stating that women are prone to more pro-environmental behavior than men. An int
Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsaResearch shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy wor
Research on mental health (MH) help-seeking behavior is still trying to understand influencing factors that hinder individuals in obtaining professional help. This becomes particularly important as young adults show a high prevalence of mental illness (MI) but a low prevalence of seeking help. So far, MH stigma resulting from self-directed and public attitudes, emotions and behaviors has been cons
Denna studie syftar till att identifiera effekterna av GPT, som ChatGPT och Github Copilot, i högre utbildning, med fokus på studenternas lärandeprocess och prestationer samt utbildningens utformning. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med universitetslärare har möjligheter såsom förbättrad produktivitet och skräddarsydd inlärning identifierats, samtidigt som utmaningar som akademisk integritet och risk
The consumption of plant-based, food alternatives is increasing globally. Yet, the digestion of plant proteins is hindered by various antinutritional and external factors. Therefore, delving into the extent of plant protein digestibility in the human body becomes essential, alongside efforts to enhance this process. The main aim of this present work was to determine the digestibility of plant-base
This thesis compares traditional machine learning algorithms and large language models (LLMs) in developing personalized recommender systems to enhance passenger experiences on flights. Traditional methods like collaborative filtering have been widely used but face challenges such as data sparsity and cold-start problems. LLMs, with their advanced natural language processing capabilities, offer pr
Palmers Green is a faltering neighbourhood; a place that continually settles on temporary fixes, such as shop changes that suit only select groups, coupled with an absence of communal facilities or activities. The result is a lack of overarching sense of community - perhaps a natural manifestation of the co-presence of multiple diverse cultures. But does it have to be this way? A more engaged comm
Denna studie undersöker förhållandet mellan den mörka triadens personlighetsdrag —Machiavellianism, narcissism och psykopati—och attityder till stalkning. Studien var en tvärsnittsundersökning med N=165 deltagare som fyllde i skalor som mätte både mörka triaden-egenskaper och deras attityder till stalkning. Att förstå de psykologiska och sociala grunderna som påverkar sådana attityder är avgörandeThis study examines the relationship between the Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—and attitudes toward stalking. Utilising a cross-sectional survey design, the research involved N=165 participants who completed scales measuring both Dark Triad traits and their attitudes towards stalking. Understanding the psychological and social foundations that influenc
We introduce MotionCanvas, a spatial art creation tool that integrates Generative AI and motion capture technologies into artistic interactive experiences. Existing interactive platforms provide engaging environments and allow users to interact through touch or gestures. However, they are often limited by predefined interactive content and gestures, lacking the ability to respond to user movements
A life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted on an object using EPD data from suppliers and generic data from authorities. E provided estimates for certain aspects. The analysis comprised three scenarios: best (4600 ton CO2e), worst (7200 ton CO2e), and generic data (7700 ton CO2e). Results show that material manufacturing, especially of concrete and galvanized steel, generates the most CO2e. Elect

Direct neuronal reprogramming has many medical applications that are at the forefront of medical research. There are known genes, such as Ascl1, Dlx5 and Lhx6, that induce the reprogramming into neuronal cells. However, because there are numerous genetic variables involved in direct reprogramming, the current methods for conversion is inefficient. Hence, we proposed a strategy to group genes and m
Demokratier nedmonteras i stater runtom i världen. För att undvika och återhämta sig från demokratisk nedmontering är det viktigt att stater kan bibehålla eller förbättra sina nivåer av demokrati. Detta koncept är känt som ’democratic resilience’ eller demokratins motståndskraft. Demokratiers nedmontering har en negativ inverkan på människors möjlighet att åtnjuta mänskliga rättigheter, varför säkDemocracy is declining in several states in all regions of the world. To avoid and recover from democratic backsliding, it is important that states can maintain or improve their levels of democracy. This concept is commonly referred to as ‘democratic resilience’. Democratic backsliding has a negative impact on the ability of people to enjoy their human rights, and therefore, there must be a safety
