Denna studie undersöker hur beslutsfattare i privata organisationer uppfattar och hanterar risken för vendor lock-in vid strategiska IT-beslut. Studien är influerad av en kvalitativ ansats och bygger på semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem respondenter med erfarenhet av IT- beslut, systemförvaltning och leverantörsrelationer. Resultatet visar att vendor lock-in inte enbart handlar om tekniska elle
The International Olympic Committee has taken a range of measures to improve the safeguarding of Olympic values and the role of sport in society. This included several human rights commitments, one of which was to include a human rights clause in the Olympic Host Contract which governs the organisation of the Olympic Games. Because of the negative impact the Olympic Games have had on human rights
Research question: How do employees adapt to, negotiate, and work around digital monitoring systems in their everyday work practices? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate how hourly employees within a fitness organization perceive and respond to digital surveillance and algorithmic management, specifically analyzing how these systems shape experiences of autonomy, stress, and c
Heavy rainfall and cloudbursts are expected to increase as a result of climate change, putting greater demands on sustainable stormwater management. This study investigated the possibilities and challenges perceived by Swedish municipalities and water and wastewater utilities in the implementation of sustainable stormwater solutions. Additionally, the study examines how the proposed expansion of t
Biodiversity is a fundamental component of healthy and functioning ecosystems, supporting ecological processes that sustain life on Earth. Diversity of ecosystems is important for creating sustainable structures adapting to environmental changes. In the context of forestry, biodiversity contributes to forest health, productivity and resistance to biotic and abiotic disturbances. Today’s intensifie
Att åldras och upprätthålla en god hälsa innebär att kunna hantera en mängd olika stressfyllda livshändelser och vardagliga påfrestningar, vilket gör coping till en central psykologisk funktion i högre ålder. En tvärsnittsstudie genomfördes inom den pågående longitudinella kohortstudien Gott åldrande i Skåne för att undersöka ålders- och könsskillnader i coping bland äldre. Urvalet (N = 2722) bestAs individuals age, maintaining health involves managing a range of stressful life events and daily hassles, making coping a key psychological function in older adulthood. A cross-sectional design was employed within the ongoing longitudinal cohort study Good Aging in Skåne (GÅS) to examine age and gender differences in coping among older adults. The study sample (N = 2722) consisted of randomly s
When ultrashort pulses propagate through common optical elements, such as gratings and thick lenses, they inevitably acquire spatiotemporal couplings (STCs), which are nonseparable chromatic aberrations. This phenomenon fundamentally stems from the broad spectral bandwidth inherent to ultrashort pulses. STCs can significantly reduce peak intensity, enlarge the focal spot, and thus limit the optima
Background: Personalization has become an essential tool of video streaming platforms, influencing how users discover and consume content. In highly saturated streaming markets, characterized by extensive content libraries and low switching barriers, personalization systems gain increasing relevance in enhancing customers’ experiences and satisfaction. Purpose: This study aims to explore how per
The study reveals that Gen Z consumers construct nostalgia for unlived eras through four interconnected processes: platform and algorithmic exposure, aesthetic simplification, collective validation, and identity reconstruction. Nostalgic content becomes meaningful when platforms make selected versions of the past visible, when aesthetic cues such as music, filters, fashion, and visual styles make
Extreme short-duration rainfall is an important challenge for urban drainage systems, especially during maintenance work and temporary operational changes where parts of the system may have reduced capacity. This project estimates seasonal return levels for short-duration rainfall in Malmö using tipping-bucket observations from four VA SYD stations. The main focus is on 10-minute and 60-minute rai
As a result of global warming, the hydrological cycle is expected to intensify. With this follows an increase in precipitation, which is predicted to cause a growing frequency and level of pluvial flooding. Urban settlements will likely be affected the most, and with the continuing growth of cities, more people will be at risk of endangerment. Thus, it is of immense importance for cities to streng
This study examines the defense modernization efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Vision 2030, together with the institutional architecture of GAMI and SAMI, sets an ambitious target of 50% defense localization by 2030. While official reports assert steady progress in upstream industrial capabilities, this study asks whether these efforts have been as successful as claimed. The research
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a health condition that forms clots in the body, ranking among the three most common diseases that cause death. Anticoagulants are prescribed as a therapy for three to six months, depending on the patient’s risk factors. However, some incidents of VTE are described as unprovoked, where there is no risk factor. In these cases, it is assumed that there is a genetic pr
This thesis examines the audiovisual productions featuring anashid released by Hamas’s armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, between October 7, 2023, and October 10, 2025, in an attempt to understand whether and how they function as mechanisms of ontological security. The existing literature on Hamas largely overlooks its cultural materials when addressing issues related to the governance of the Gaz
Deep reinforcement learning has driven remarkable progress in quadrupedal locomotion, yet the resulting controllers typically treat the robot's physical limits as soft penalties in the reward, offering no guarantee that joint limits, leg kinematics, or obstacle clearance are respected during or after training. Safe-exploration methods promise such guarantees, but they have been developed almos
This study examines the relationship between four dimensions of psychological capital (PsyCap) and nascent entrepreneurial activity among Ukrainian refugees residing in European host countries. Specifically, it analyzes how internally and externally sourced fear of failure moderates this relationship, focusing on the psychological and emotional barriers that may limit refugees’ entrepreneurial
Title: The Digital White Coat - A study on doctors identity work within digital healthcare Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Clara Bergh and Gustav Levin Supervisor: John Murray Date: 27th of May 2026 Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create a deeper understanding of how doctors working within digital healthcare construct and reconstruct their
Natural products continue to provide chemists with structural diversity, biological potential, and synthetic challenges. Two recently isolated sesquiterpene lactones feature an unprecedented structure, but natural scarcity necessitates synthesis to enable biological studies. Herein, we propose a semisynthetic strategy toward these targets, starting from more abundant natural products. A biomimetic
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the middle ear that can cause persistent ear discharge and hearing loss. EarClean is an ear pipette intended to enable simple and cost-effective rinsing and cleaning of the ear canal. For safe clinical use, it is importantto evaluate whether the pressure generated during use may pose a risk of damaging the tympanic memb
