The main aim of this paper is to seek to understand how incubators within the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Skåne interact and engage with startups, and looks to address three secondary research questions expanding on the subject. Three semi-structured interviews were conducted with sustainability and business development representatives of incubators in Skåne in order to gain insight into methods

I vårt universum finns det ett nästan ändlöst antal extra-solära planeter, så kallade exoplaneter. Den första planeten utanför vårt solsystem upptäcktes 1995 och antalet har ökat drastiskt sedan dess. Ett av de vanligaste sätten att upptäcka exoplaneter är genom att använda transitmetoden. När en planet är i omloppsbana runt en stjärna så kan det hända att planeten blockerar en del ljus som stjärnThe first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered. This is a rapidly evolving field in astrophysics. One of the most common ways to detect an exoplanet is through transit, as the brightness of the host star decreases. The transit method is suitable for surveying a large number of stars at the same time and mo

Shared micro-mobility services are increasingly embraced by cities around the world in recent years. Their benefits over other transportation modes in certain frames encourage traffic/urban planners, public authorities to establish such systems in urban areas. However, planning the placement, size and operation of such beneficial micro-mobility mode is a vital issue that concerns designers. Severa

The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers who work with municipal labor market policy reflect on labor market initiatives with focus on application and preconditions. My purpose is also to investigate what social workers consider to be effective in labor market initiatives to work towards the self-sufficiency of the long-term unemployed. The empirical data was gathered from socia

Modern design of steel pedestrian bridges often results in relatively light constructions with low natural frequencies were there is a considerable risk of resonance to occur from loads due to pedestrians. To resolve the problem a common solution is to increase dimensions of load bearing elements, resulting in greatly oversized elements with increasing costs and have substantial environmental impa

This Bachelor Thesis discusses the American government’s initial fiscal response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Cares Act, and investigates how the different disposition of money in the two States Mississippi and Alabama has affected entrepreneurship. This comparison is made through a descriptive analysis of how the two states, have distributed, focused and used their Cares Act capital. It is found

This thesis aims to contribute to the academic debate surrounding how votes affect political party behaviour. To do so, two theories explaining political party behaviour, which belong to opposite camps, will be under focus. These theories are the cleavage theory by Lipset and Rokkan and the voter transition and policy positioning theory. While the cleavage theory argues that political party behavi

Linear business models which focus on growth and profitability have been deemed to be destructive to the environment, leading to generation of vast volumes of waste and contributing to environmental impacts. As a solution to this problem, a system wide change in the form of circular economy has been proposed. Circular economy focuses on regeneration of materials, keeping resources in use as long p

The purpose of this thesis is to systematically identify which factors connected with flooding incidents that has the biggest impact on the municipalities capability to minimize the consequences connected to this type of phenomenon. Two methods were used in the process of identifying the factors in question. The first method was a study of journalistic articles in which articles related to Swedish

This thesis seeks to uncover the Thai public perception of COVID-19 policies. These policies include lockdown, curfew and social security. Thailand is a country that has been praised by the World Health Organisation for their control over the pandemic. One might wonder what regulations were implemented, for the Thai government to be able to control it so well; and how did people respond to this? T

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how social constructions of masculinities are connected to the high prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) in the Bolivian context. Moreover, the thesis aimed to uncover why a growing number of organizations in Bolivia have chosen to incorporate a “masculinity approach” in their GBV interventions, and to analyse the challenges and opportunities pres

This thesis aims to contribute to e-governance studies by combining a framework of critical juncture studies and path dependency theory to evaluate the performance of the e-governance sector in Mexico in the wake of the SARS-COVID-2 crisis. Through the investigation of e-governance policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis identified key thematic principles for analysis: 1) Access to Inte

Hearing loss is a complicated phenomena which does not only vary from person to person, but also, can change characteristics during the day. Despite this, hearing aids today are fitted only occasionally and thus only capture the slow changes in the hearing loss. In order for a hearing aid to continuously adapt to a subject’s hearing loss it has to be able to gauge the users hearing threshold. One

A growing body of literature within political ecology is concerned with the exercise of political and economic power within climate change policies (Robbins, 2020). In this thesis, I explore the political economy of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), using methodological reflections and empirical material from a case study of a Ugandan smallholder agricultural community. To assess how local communit

This study's primary objective was to understand how remittances from international labour migration influences the capabilities of Kenyan returnees from the Middle East. The study examined how migrants and their families used the money they sent home, what kind of education they got, how they got medical care, and how they started businesses. Sen's capacity approach and the new economics

As part of both the sharing and social economies, libraries of things (LoTs) can play a role in reducing consumption in a socially sustainable way. They have the potential to overcome key sustainability and service shortcomings of other circular and sharing business models (BMs), but research on LoTs is sparse. Because of this potential, this research aims to improve the understanding of LoT BMs t

The concept of learning organizations is one of the most popular concepts within management research. There seems to be a continuous need for learning in organizations as it equips companies to survive rapid changes in the internal and external organizational environment as well as competition. Still, the idea is challenging to implement, and researchers as well as practitioners call for a need to

Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel

Data is a crucial resource for machine learning. But in many settings, such as in healthcare or on mobile devices, there are obstacles that make it difficult to utilize the available data. This data is often distributed between many clients and private, meaning that central storage of the data is inadvisable. Further, image data is often unlabeled and external labelling is impossible due to its pr

In countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the highest level of inflation since several decades. Explanations are sought after and disruptions of supply chains have been labeled the cause by many politicians. However, the empirical literature regarding the topic is limited. Hence, in order to extend the literature, this paper aims to investigate
