The influence of one’s cultural orientation, particularly through Hofstede’s (1980; 2001) Individualism-Collectivism dimension, on entrepreneurs and planning within new ventures is an underexplored field in entrepreneurial research, specifically among cultural minorities. This study aims to understand the Individualism-Collectivism orientation of urban Indigenous Australian entrepreneurs based in

Supramolecular chemistry is a field in which noncovalent interactions between molecules are utilised to promote the formation of larger molecular assemblies. A single monomer consisting of a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane backbone equipped with hydrogen bonding motifs and solubilising groups is synthesised. Utilisation of different hydrogen bonding motifs and appropriate solvent renders self-aggregation of

Synthesis of nanoparticles with high control of the particle composition, high purity and high throughput is of great interest for multiple applications such as catalysis, medicine, energy storage, sensoring, and electronics. As an alternative method to the traditionally used chemical synthesis routes, gas-phase methods have gained attention due to the avoidance of solvents resulting in higher pur

In Sweden social services has the overall responsibility for its youth within their municipality. Moreover, social workers have a responsibility to conduct an inquiry if there are suspicions of a youth getting harmed or harming oneself. The inquiry carries an exercise of power and authority since it can lead to the youth getting placed outside of the home. Within the Swedish historical context of

Military vehicles typically send out radar signals in order to detect their surroundings. Using an Electromagnetic Support Measures receiver, these can be detected and it is of interest to be able to classify them in order to identify the vehicle and type of radar. Although there already exists multiple methods to do this, it is of interest to automatize and speed up the process of classification

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors like transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers have garnered significant interest in the recent past due to their extraordinary opto-electronic properties, along with the possibility to seamlessly stack these layers into atomically precise van der Waals heterostructures. Type-II 2D semiconductor heterostructures show photoinduced interlaye

In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va

The Brazilian economy is now financialized, where the finance sector and its priorities have become increasingly dominant in all aspects of the economy. At the same time, the country has been facing extremely high levels of inequality and is currently the 8th most unequal country in the world. This thesis aims to analyze the associations between the process of financialization and inequality trend

Skyddsrum ska tillgodose civilbefolkningens behov av fysiskt skydd vid väpnat angrepp. Det har inte byggts några nya skyddsrum sedan 2002 men befolkningen har ökat. Totalförsvarsplaneringen har återupptagits med anledning av att den säkerhetspolitiska situationen i Europa har förändrats. Ett väpnat angrepp mot Sverige kan inte uteslutas. Av 3 kap. 9 § MB framgår att de prioriterade områdena för dThe purpose of shelters is to provide protection to the civilian population in case of war. Any new shelters have not been built in Sweden since 2002 but the population has increased. The national defense planning has been resumed because of changes in the security policy situation Europe. War against Sweden cannot be ruled out. According to the 3rd chapter 9 § The Swedish Environmental Code (MB)

The main purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to study Mesolithic fur-game hunting and how it changed over time. New influences can change an economy rapidly, for example the fur trade during the seventeenth century in North America. In three Danish late-Mesolithic settlements Agernæs, Ringkloster and Tybrind Vig excavations has yielded evidence for largescale hunting of Pine marten. Is it possible

This thesis tries to answer the question of how to properly trade on an intermittent market using a theoretical storage and estimates attainable profit of such a setup. This have been done through evaluating different storage alternatives, analyzing market trends, investigating associated costs for the operation and simulating possible outcomes. Trading with certain rules, an algorithm has been de

In line with the development of modern communication technology, computer-mediated-communication is playing a crucial role in how people interact and communicate. One forum in which such interaction can be conducted is the online professional social network LinkedIn. In this study we examine how entrepreneurs, conscious or unconsciously, make use of impression management strategies in a textual se

Fler människor tenderar ständigt att bosätta sig i städer samtidigt som handelsvaror och transporter ökar. Det innebär utmaningar i att utforma en citylogistik som ska hantera ökningen på den komprimerade ytan som staden erbjuder. Citylogistik är komplext, det grundar sig i antalet aktörer med dess mångfald, men även policys och utformningar som kan utmana logistiken i staden. Citylogistik präglas

The ecological footprint of mankind has made a large impact on the world and is one of the main reasons for climate change, which is now the greatest threat faced by humanity. The world’s population is getting larger and food production is running high to meet our needs. Food is being shipped all over the world, even though many countries have the capacity to grow crops on their own. Sweden and ot

This study investigates the effect on consumer trust for companies in the fashion industry as a result of working with transparent supply chains. Specifically, it investigates if increased traceability and transparency results in increased consumer trust. This research further investigates the potential of blockchain technology as an enabler to increase traceability and transparency. Previous rese

This project’s objective was to gather knowledge of ways to mechanically increase speech intelligibility and decrease wind noise through the design of microphone ports. The project focused on ports that would be applied in outdoor intercom products. The project used experimental testing through the development method Robust Design to investigate different parameters that could be changed in a

Social networking sites have become platforms of strategic importance to brand communication. However, to date, little is known about how brands should communicate with overstimulated digital natives on these platforms, especially concerning the language style they should use. In light of the phenomenon of brands increasingly adjusting to a human style of communication, this qualitative study take

Hur ofta reflekterar du över varifrån ditt dricksvatten kommer, vad det kostar och vad som krävs för att det ska nå hem till just dig? Det enkla svaret är: förmodligen nästan aldrig. Att förändra invanda beteendemönster är svårt. Framför allt när det inte tycks finnas tillräckligt med incitament för det. Men det finns faktiskt flertalet viktiga anledningar att vi bör bli bättre på att hushålla mClimate change will likely cause future water crises in many parts of the world, making it crucial for humanity to adapt to a life in which sustainable water use behaviors are key. To achieve this, organizations managing drinking water need increased knowledge on how to communicate conservation messages that will lead to behavior changes. This study used the framework the Behavior Change Wheel (B

The demand for higher education is quickly rising in the Sub-Saharan Africa region and the question of giving access to all members of society often comes down to financing. Many countries, including Tanzania, have opted for cost-sharing policies where the cost of education is split between the state and the individuals - leaving many without the possibility of attending higher education. This mas
