Green spaces are important parts of our cities supporting both public health and providing ecosystem services such as lowering air temperature and providing stress relief. The study area, Malmö is a city in southern Sweden with a high population density. The city is largely built on and surrounded by agricultural land resulting in few naturally occurring green spaces and only planted trees. Despit
As organizations increasingly depend on electronic performance monitoring, data collection of perceived Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM) threatens the psychological conditions required for employee creativity. This quantitative study examines how leaders can buffer against electronic performance monitoring through Creativity-Enabling Leadership (CEL); conceptualized in this study as a secon
This thesis examines how far-right digital radicalisation strategies have evolved across platforms over time, comparing YouTube (2015–2020) and TikTok (mid-2020s). The problem addressed is the increasing role of algorithmically driven social media platforms in facilitating extremist content dissemination, particularly among young users. Existing research has largely focused on single platforms or
Att identifiera proteinmönster associerade med lungsyndromet acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) hos patienter med underliggande sepsis är en central utmaning inom intensivvårdsforskning. Konventionella univariata metoder riskerar att missa icke-linjära associationer och högre ordningens interaktioner som speglar syndromets sanna komplexitet, och systematisk utvärdering av alternativa metodIdentifying proteomic patterns associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in sepsis patients is a central challenge in critical care research. Standard univariate approaches may miss non-linear associations and higher-order interactions that reflect the true complexity of the syndrome, yet systematic evaluation of alternative methods is lacking. This thesis introduces a unified eva
Övergivna varukorgar är ett utbrett fenomen inom onlineshopping som tidigare främst har förståtts som ett resultat av tekniska hinder och friktion i köpprocessen, utebliven köpintention eller förändrade sätt att använda varukorgen. Samtidigt kvarstår begränsad förståelse för hur övergivandet av varukorgen formas i relation till hur onlineshopping faktiskt organiseras och utförs i vardagen och hur
Denna studie undersöker hur tågvärdar och kontrollanter inom svensk kollektivtrafik förhåller sig till kroppsburna kameror som integritetskänslig teknik i en utsatt arbetsmiljö. Tidigare forskning om kroppsburna kameror har främst fokuserat på polisiär verksamhet, medan forskning om användningen inom kollektivtrafiken är mer begränsad. Studien syftar till att bidra med kunskap om hur tekniken uppl
For financial institutions, estimating the probability of default is central to credit-risk modelling. This is traditionally done using logistic regression, but machine learning methods have shown promising results because of their ability to capture more flexible relationships. However, the complexity of such models makes them difficult to interpret and consequently difficult to justify to regula
Bilingual language processing is complex, and it is yet to be explored in its full extent. Previous research suggests that bilinguals’ first- and second-language mental lexicons are interconnected, but the nature and extent of this relationship remain a matter of debate. One of the best indicators of this highly dynamic relationship between the two languages is code-switching. Although from the sp
Sustainable development requires balancing ecological, social, and economic dimensions. In municipalities, sustainability is implemented by, among others, environmental and climate strategists, whose work is naturally shaped by goal conflicts. Studying these conflicts through a Swedish municipal lens is necessary as there is currently a lack of Swedish empirical research focusing specifically on p
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur KPI:er (Key Performance Indicators) uppfattas och används inom svensk farmaceutisk verksamhet. I takt med att prestationsmätning fått en allt större betydelse inom samhällskritiska verksamheter har KPI:er blivit centrala verktyg för styrning, uppföljning och kvalitetssäkring. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på KPI:ers funktion som styrinstrument och der
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker hur spelifierad miljödesign och valbara belöningar kan implementeras i en pedagogisk digital applikation för förskolebarn i syfte att öka motivation och engagemang. Utgångspunkten är det digitala lärverktyget Magiska Trädgården, där barn löser matematiska uppgifter för att bygga en digital trädgård. Syftet är att ta fram designkrav och en prototyp som främjar barne
The loss of biodiversity is one of today's most urgent environmental challenges, while the construction sector is recognized as one of the industries with the greatest impact on ecosystems and biodiversity. At the same time biodiversity has received less attention in corporate sustainability reporting compared to issues such as climate impact and carbon emissions. With the introduction of the
Inledning: Psykologisk trygghet är ett centralt begrepp inom organisationsforskning och handlar om medarbetares upplevelse av att uttrycka idéer, ställa frågor och erkänna misstag utan rädsla för negativa konsekvenser. Tidigare forskning kring detta har främst fokuserat på kunskapsintensiva arbetsmiljöer, medan kundnära serviceyrken fått mindre uppmärksamhet, vilket utgör en forskningslucka som de
Financial markets exhibit time-varying volatility and cross-asset correlation. To construct and optimize a risk-adjusted portfolio and account for underlying collinearity between se- curities, a good understanding of these two dynamics is important. In this study global equity indices are modeled with the purpose of improving the forecasting accuracy of time-varying correlations, as well as distin
When greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector are considered, the focus is often on new construction. However, this is not the whole picture. Existing commercial buildings, such as office buildings, also go through several changes during their lifetime, and these changes can have a relevant climate impact. In office buildings, such changes are often called tenant adaptations, where the inte
This study examines landslide occurrence and post‑landslide recovery dynamics in Nyungwe Forest Reserve, Rwanda, using a combination of multi‑temporal landslide mapping, environmental and geomorphological predictor analysis, and an assessment of the Tropical Moist Forest (TMF) product. A landslide inventory covering the period from 2000 to 2024 was produced using high‑resolution optical imagery. T
This research explores the contemporary turn towards neutral aesthetics in dressing and interior decoration as a cultural technology that regulates visibility, produces respectability and reproduces classed norms through embodied practices and digital infrastructures. In this study, neutrality is approached through the lenses of minimalism and monochromatism, representing a curated visual language
This study examines how Love Island Sweden Season five functions as a norm-producing arena for gender through a thematic analysis with a deductive approach of four episodes. The aim is to explore how the program both reproduces and challenges contemporary gender norms, and how participants' actions are shaped within these structures. The findings show that the program does not primarily enforc
This thesis examines the discourses and experiences of what it means to be “weird” through representation of the phenomenon in the popular Disney kid’s cartoon The Owl House. By following Fairclough’s five-step model and theoretical framework for critical discourse analysis, the analysis reveals that discourses within the fictional world are woven around a tightly hegemonic system of ideology and
The rise in sea surface temperature (SST) is one of the most substantial impacts of climate change, as ocean warming is predicted to increase by 0.86-2.89˚C by 2100. Giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) forests in Southern California are sensitive to changes in ocean temperatures, with a thermal threshold of 18–25˚C. They are ecologically significant because they provide many ecosystem services and s
