The connected and automated car is performing more and more driving tasks autonomously. This produces a lot of data. The EU Database Directive gives non-original databases protection through the sui generis database right. Whether these databases with machine-generated data should be part of the scope of the right is unclear, depending on the interpretation of the right. The proposed EU Database A

Bakgrund: I dagsläget har 150 000 personer i Sverige diagnostiserats med en demenssjukdom och det finns ännu inga botemedel mot sjukdomen. De icke-farmakologiska interventionerna utgör en viktig funktion för att lindra sjukdomens symtom och konsekvenser. Enligt arbetsterapeutisk teori bidrar meningsfulla aktiviteter till att främja välbefinnandet. För att arbetsterapeuter ska kunna använda aktivit

Covid-19 has had profound effects on peoples’ health and livelihoods; resultingly, companies have felt the recoil too.

Delningsekonomi är ett växande fenomen i samhället. Kortfattat handlar delningsekonomi om att använda underutnyttjade resurser bättre genom att dela. Att dela ytor kan innebära en mer effektiv användning av befintliga byggnader vilket potentiellt kan minska behovet av nyproduktion. På svenska fastighetsmarknaden finns däremot viss problematik som hindrar en ökad delning av ytor. Problematiken beröThe sharing economy is a growing phenomenon in society. Simply described, the sharing economy is about using underutilized resources better through sharing. Sharing space can mean a more efficient use of existing buildings, which potentially can reduce the need for new buildings. In the Swedish real estate market, there are certain problems that prevent an increased sharing of space. The problems

Up to 5% of children in Sweden experience domestic violence at home. A common misunderstanding when it comes to children being exposed to domestic violence is that they are not being harmed by the exposure. As a result of this, children are not being adequately protected against the potentially harmful outcomes that follow. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how and if children’s risk

The European energy transition entails opportunities to mitigate two of the EU’s most pressing current challenges: climate change and the energy crisis due to the dependency on fossil fuel imports. The EU has committed to limiting global warming to 2°C (preferably 1.5°C), compared to pre-industrial levels. In the context of the European Green Deal, the EU has set the objective to reach climate neu

Introduced in August 2020, Instagram Reels have been used as a new alternative to elevate popularity by leveraging broader viewers while ignoring the audience's status as followers. This could have a massive contribution for creators in engaging the public by infusing messages through Reels content.

This master’s thesis is performed in collaboration with the Research Institute of Sweden. The purpose of the study was to investigate food neophobia, or an aversion to trying new foods, in the Swedish population and see if it correlates with the country's low and undiversified seafood consumption. The topic of the study stems not only from consumers consuming less seafood than is recommended,

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the contingencies of a hybrid work environment for managers and teams in knowledge-intensive firms, more specifically in consultancies. The aim is to evaluate the type of leadership behavior that is facilitated by the hybrid work environment and how the existing team dynamics translate into and influence the experience of hybrid work. Theoretical L

Public Opinion about Sweden during the COVID-19 Pandemic and Implications for its Nation Brand: A Sentiment Analysis This thesis seeks to expand the understanding of nation brand image perceptions by exploring the opinions of international audiences about Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of sentiments. Given the strong link between a country’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and

I början av 2020 utropade World Health Organization (WHO) COVID-19 som en global pandemi och vaccinationerna påbörjades i slutet samma år. Under framtagningen av vaccinet började skepticism florera bland världens befolkning samtidigt som forskarna påpekade att vaccinets effekt är beroende av attityderna gentemot det. Tidigare studier har visat att misstro till vetenskapen kring vaccin och dess eff

Recent focus on the negative effects of climate change has amplified the importance of renewable sources of energy for electricity generation. The contribution of renewables to the energy mix is growing steadily with profound effects on the price of electricity and implications for market participants. In this paper, we employed a similar model to that developed in (Green, 2015) to model the very

This study seeks to investigate how an affective perspective can contribute to an understand- ing of the space of Kanalens Kvarter in Albertslund, Denmark. From the perspective of the phenomenological approach, the thesis explores the aesthetics, social boundaries, and the use of the space in Kanalens Kvarter. I found a knowledge gap within the literature on street culture because emotions are put

As the global food system fails to cope with its social and environmental depletion, Alternative Food Systems (AFSs) have emerged. While previous studies have focused on localization efforts through consumer and producer food initiatives, emerging start-ups which act as mediators between the farmers and consumers have been neglected.Therefore, semi-structured interviews with seven different start-

This study aims to map out Lund University students’ intentions and behaviors in regard to food waste. Through a thorough literature review, behaviors commonly related to food waste levels were identified, and are referred to as food-wasting behaviors. The theory of planned behavior is used for this paper, which is commonly applied when studying human behavior, and therefore also when it comes to

The purpose of this study was to investigate how social workers, working with financial aid, creates participation for children and if their work has been affected by the legal enforcement of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its children rights perspective.

The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of the Merton model to a machine learning technique (random forest), in a context where the number of predictors is low or the dataset is quite small. Since random forest is a data-intensive method, the main goal is to find the minimum number of explanatory variables and observations that is needed for it to perform at least as well as the Merton

The need for sustainable renewable energy has been increasing due to the negative impact of non-renewable energy sources. With the unstable and sporadic nature of sustainable renewable energy, flow batteries show immense potential in mitigating these issues. Traditional vanadium and zinc-based flow batteries, as well as new flow battery systems, are now being researched extensively. Vanadium and z

This paper examines the experiences of women working in the field of engineering. The specific focus of this qualitative interview study is female employees in a factory at an international engineering company. Previous studies have found that women face major barriers to success in the profession, including gender bias in recruitment processes (Kessler, Low & Sullivan, 2019), lower chances of
