Ungdomskulturer förändras med tiden och nya ungdomskulturer tillkommer i relation till samhällsförändringen. Samhällsförändringarna har lett till att nya ungdomskulturer har utvecklats, vara en av dem har präglats av ghettokulturen och macho-attityden från förortens kultur. Genom bland annat den svenska hiphopen och mobiliseringen av ungdomar i samhället har kulturen från förorten anammats av ungd
Human-induced climate change continues to have a disproportionate negative impact on people and the planet. The human dimension must be included to make a change to reduce the environmental challenges we are facing. As mobile digital technologies have developed, the use of gamification has emerged as a way to promote pro-environmental behavior. As the field is relatively new, the research on the t
We study the effect of Riksbank’s corporate bond purchase program on the yield spread of bonds and firm-level debt structure. We find evidence that the Riksbank’s corporate quantitative easing announcement reduces the yield spread of eligible bonds compared to the non-eligible bonds. The effect is significant for high-quality and low-quality IG-rated bonds; however, the AAA-A-rated bonds react mor
Virtual reality (VR) has dominated technology headlines in recent years with its ability to immerse users in a virtual world. This technology is changing the tourism industry dramatically. Previously, VR has been used mainly as a marketing tool to promote services and tourist destinations. But nowadays, VR is almost an essential technology, used in many tourism organizations to provide customized
In this thesis a concept for a new leg construction, for a force regulated Stewart Platform called Hexapod, was created. The design process for this concept was split into three major parts: the actuator, joints, and the frameless motor, which make up the dynamic elements, the legs, that move the Hexapod. The design of these three parts was approached in a similar fashion, through four phases. T
Due to COVID-19 and the penetration of OTT services, the cinema industry is suffering from audience loss. With this contextual change, the question of whether the cinema industry will survive is constantly rising. As motivation is known as the driving force for behaviour, this thesis focuses on the audiences who still visit the cinema and explore their motivations for cinema attendance to find wha
is an important area of study with implications for pharmaceutical development. Asymmetric catalysis is one way to perform enantioenriched products. To study this subject, enantiomerically pure Rh(I) complexes were synthesized to be applied as catalysts in these kinds of reactions. A new C2 symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctatetraene-ligand, 5,11-bis(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl dibenzo[a,e]cyclooc
This study analyses how then Facebook Inc. communicated their rebranding to Meta while in the middle of their worst public relations crisis to date, as well as how the news of Meta’s rebranding was framed in the Swedish news media. Through the theoretical framework of image repair and framing, the purpose of this study is to provide deeper knowledge on the aspect of rebranding within the contex
Syftet med denna undersökning var att studera hur TikTok användande (TTA) påverkar det visuella arbetsminnet (VAM) jämfört med övrig sociala medier användande (SMA). VAM lagrar tillfälligt visuell och spatial information, och ligger underordnat i hjärnans uppmärksamhetskontrollsystem. Ingen tidigare forskning finns på den effekt som TTA har på kognitiva funktioner. Tidigare forskning gällande SMA The aim of this study was to examine if Tik Tok has an effect on visual working memory (VWM) compared to other social media usage (SMU). The VWM temporarily stores visual and spatial information, and works with the attention system. No previous research has been done on the effect TikTok usage (TTU) has on cognitive functions. Previous research around SMU and VWM is slim and shows mixed results. H
Wireless power transfer is emerging into everyday life. The idea is to create a more convenient way of charging, or at least powering, devices. Ideally, all power transmitters and power-receiving devices should be interoperable so that the user does not need to investigate whether a specific power transmitter will work together with a specific device. Interoperability is what the standard Qi, inve
Humanitarian crises are becoming more frequent- and increasingly protracted, causing humanitarian actors to be under mounting pressure in their attempts to respond to the increasing amount of people in need. Among else, cash-based programming has been highlighted as part of the solution to this and has been rapidly on the rise as an aid modality among humanitarian actors in the past few years. Whi
This paper analyses the impact of skilled migration on economic growth in the origin country – a phenomenon often referred to as brain drain. Specifically, this paper aims to contribute to the scant empirical literature of the direct effect on GDP per capita growth following emigration of skilled. To study this dependence, a in depth literature review of the assumed channel that are interrelated w
Denna avhandling handlar om en uppsättning aktiviströrelser under de hårdaste restriktionerna i samband med Covid-19-pandemin i Sverige. Dessa grupper protesterade både online och offline mot införda restriktioner och vaccinationer och visade en kritisk inställning till rekommendationer och restriktioner, till exempel genom att samlas i stora folkmassor. Studien syftar till att presentera och probThis thesis deals with a set of organized activist movements during the harshest restrictions of the Covid-19 pandemic in Sweden. These groups protested both online and offline against imposed restrictions and vaccinations, displaying a critical attitude towards recommendations and restrictions such as by gathering in large crowds. The study aims to present and problematize the frameworks used by
Talking about inclusion in the workplace is an emerging concept, and the pressure of committing to work with it rests on the companies. The research conducted around inclusion is growing, and there are different suggestions as to how to define and work with the concept. Moreover, companies are lacking evidence to support how to successfully measure it among employees. By exploring inclusion in a s
Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) är specialiserade på lagerhantering och har en stor mängd alternativ till funktionaliteter, allt från det grundläggande till avancerad automatisering. Många lager använder denna typ av lagerhanteringssystem. Vidare har många lager även ett ERP-system som bland annat hanterar fakturering och ekonomi. Dessa brukar i någon mån vara integrerade med varandra, vilket k
This master's thesis aims to analyze how bordering, solidarity and grievability are expressed in the participants' commitment with detainees in detention. Furthermore, the essay captures stories about everyday experiences of what it means to be involved in non-profit organizations or activist networks that are active in Swedish detention centers. It is of interest to study how the deprivat
Denna studie ser på Digitala tokens, och vilka problem som kan stötas på vid en implementering. Genom att observera CBDC har studien kunnat se på digitala tokens i ett annat ljus än tidigare forskning, då majoritet av forskningen på digitala tokens har varit ifrån nischade användningsområden med begränsade fynd. Fyra respondenter som har varit delaktiga i CBDC projektet E-krona piloten, som besitt
Sedan slutet på 1800-talet har vi sett en stadig minskning i antalet timmar vi genomsnittligen arbetar per år. Denna trend stannade emellertid upp vid slutet på 1970-talet då den genomsnittliga tiden slutade minska, och under vissa år till och med öka. Syftet med denna studie är just att ta reda på vad individer tycker om arbetstidsförkortning med bibehållen lön utifrån ett generationellt perspekt
