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
Acidification-threatened marine ecosystems and competition for land use along the coasts are merely some of the consequences of the climate crisis. A technology with growing interest that can contribute to solutions for these consequences is Biorock. As a nature-inspired approach based on electrolysis of seawater, Biorock offers two solutions in one technology; eco-friendly materials grown directl
Vegetation fire is one of the naturally occurring disturbances within the Earth system, changing vegetation dynamics and modulating carbon storage in the terrestrial biosphere. While fires are essential to many ecosystems, fire dynamics have been increasingly shaped by human actions since the late eighteenth century. The main drivers behind those changes are climate change and direct human activit
This thesis examines contemporary romance fiction with neurodivergent themes on BookTok as a cultural site where ideas about love, normality, and human value are negotiated and reproduced, positioning “neuro-romance” as an emerging subgenre within contemporary romance. Through a qualitative text analysis combining feminist counter-reading and narrative analysis, the thesis explores how neurodiverg
Following the outbreak of the Syrian civil war in 2011 and the subsequent collapse of the national oil infrastructure, small-scale, makeshift oil refineries emerged in al-Hasakah Governorate as a new form of infrastructure to ensure local access to oil products. While reports have documented these developments and their widespread negative consequences for both humans and the environment, previous
This study examines how Canadian news media discourse constructed and contested medical assistance in dying (MAiD) eligibility for people with mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition between 2020 and 2025. Drawing on boundary theory, framing theory, Wimmer’s (2008) taxonomy of boundary-making strategies, and Brante and Hallberg’s (1991) concept of incommensurability, this study app
