Nowadays society is becoming more aware of the fact that energy use has a negative environmental impact, contributing to fossil fuels depletion and global warming increase. Therefore, the Swedish Parliament has adopted the The European Comission’s 20-20-20 goals, climate and energy policy targets that shall be achieved by 2020, referring to 20% reduction of CO2 emissions, 20% increase in energy ef

Title: Virtual Influencing: Uncharted Frontier in the Uncanny Valley Date of the Seminar: 4th June 2020 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Mary Caroline Creasey and Adrián Vázquez Anido Supervisor: Burak Tunca Keywords: influencer marketing, virtual influencers, social media marketing, opinion leadership, brand spokespeople, brand spokes-characters, source credibilit

Purpose: The aim is to apply technology acceptance research on elderlies’ use of digital services during a global pandemic, where risks associated with the corresponding physical alternatives are obvious but use is voluntary. By examining constructs based on a modified UTAUT2 framework, the following research question will be answered: Which factors influence elderlies' intention to use digita

Biodiversity depletion directly impacts businesses and society by influencing ecosystem services. Despite the growing recognition of biodiversity loss as a significant crisis, many companies have not yet sufficiently integrated broader nature considerations into their strategies. The Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) aims to facilitate nature including biodiversity target setting within corpora

Objectives: This study sets out to answer the following research questions: 1. How do Sida and CEDLA problematize poverty and what does this reveal about their underlying development paradigms? 2. What are some of the key promises and challenges of Sida and CEDLA’s differing understandings of capitalism for their use of the MDPA framework in Bolivia? The key areas of focus are the organizations

Formerly widely distributed throughout Europe, the great snipe (Gallinago media) – a medium-sized wader species – has experienced an important decline in the last century, mainly driven by habitat loss. Remaining population are now restricted to eastern Europe and Scandinavia and the species is considered endangered. The great snipe (Gallinago media) is a food specialist, feeding almost exclusivel

Green ammonia, produced from renewable hydrogen, is emerging as an important energy carrier and decarbonized fertilizer alternative. However, its production is highly energy-intensive, making process efficiency critical to its commercial viability. This study investigates how targeted heat integration can enhance the energy and cost efficiency of green ammonia production based on a 200 MW PEM elec

Since pre-industrial times, increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has contributed to climate change affecting all ecosystems. As a result, global and national commitments have been made to reduce emissions by enhancing the number and effectiveness of carbon sinks. To meet the national climate targets, Sweden has proposed financial compensation for forest owners who postpone harvesting. This

According to the UN Environment Programme, the construction sector is responsible for 37% of global energy and process-related CO₂ emissions. In Sweden, the latest data from Boverket – the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning – indicates that this sector accounts for 22.1% of the country's total greenhouse gas emissions. As part of national climate efforts, Fossilfritt Sver

Nanoparticles are an emerging threat to the environment. A major source is tyre wear particles (TWPs), with an estimated 6 million tons released into the environment globally each year. In Nordic countries, studded tyres used during the winter contribute to this pollution. This introduces a co-release of both tyre wear nanoparticles (TWNPs) and metal nanoparticles made of tungsten carbide cobalt (

Introduction: Enzyme-based approaches have shown promise in a more targeted alternative for treating oral diseases such as caries. Given the high global prevalence of caries, and ecological complexity of the oral microbiome, investigating selective treatment strategies is of significant interest. Background: The oral microbiome is a dynamic, polymicrobial community, dependent on ecological balance

The second wave women’s movement in the 1970s was global and many organized for better healthcare, against the exploitation of women’s bodies and for women’s liberation. In Sweden the largest and most visible group within the second wave women’s movement was Grupp 8. They existed in several cities and places in the country and out of all the local groups within Grupp 8, nine were donated to differ

In times of climate change, companies face extreme pressure from external stakeholders to engage in environmental sustainability activities. Especially companies of industries that significantly contribute to the global carbon emissions are expected to change their behaviour. There, the road freight transportation business is known for its particularly heavy impact. Being forced to adapt to change

Equitable distribution of healthcare services towards the reduction of HIV-AIDS prevalence in Nigeria remains a major public health concern. One of several research model to solve this public health problem is the use Geographical Information System, a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA), this model emerged in the last decade as a key measure of spatial accessibility, particularly in its appl

Studies of the apportionment of human genetic variation have long established that most human variation is within population groups and that the additional variation between population groups is small but greatest when comparing different continental populations. These studies often used Wright's F(ST) that apportions the standardized variance in allele frequencies within and between population gr

The Genographic Project is an international effort aimed at charting human migratory history. The project is nonprofit and nonmedical, and, through its Legacy Fund, supports locally led efforts to preserve indigenous and traditional cultures. Although the first phase of the project was focused on uniparentally inherited markers on the Y-chromosome and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the current phase f
