Forskningsfråga: Skiljer sig startupbolags relativa värden mellan olika geografiska områden i Sverige och om så är fallet, kan innovationskraften och tillgången till riskkapital i områdena förklara denna skillnad? Syfte: Studien ämnar att härleda huruvida de relativa värdena på startupbolag skiljer sig mellan olika geografiska områden i Sverige, samt att undersöka om områdenas innovationskraft ocResearch question: Do the relative valuations of startup companies differ across different geographical regions in Sweden, and if so, can the innovation capacity and access to venture capital in these areas explain this difference? Purpose: The study aims to determine whether the relative valuations of startups differ across different geographical regions in Sweden and to investigate whether the

Byggproduktion idag, innebär bland annat en hög energianvändning, utsläpp av växthusgaser, användning av miljöfarliga ämnen samt stora mängder avfall som måste hanteras. Detta är aspekter som samtliga behöver minskas för att reducera branschens stora miljöpåverkan. Inom byggsektorn har klimatarbetet fått en alltmer ökad uppmärksamhet med införandet av olika klimatkrav på nationell och EU-nivå. I oCarbon offsets, essential in climate-related aspirations for governments and businesses, entail reducing, avoiding, or extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, even if not contemporaneous with emissions. They include, among others, energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy investments. These compensations, voluntary or regulated, must meet reliability criteria. Actions, such as Carbo

Sexual health is an important and permanent component in an individual’s life, particularly during the early stages. Swedish youth tend to frequently visit their local youth guidance center with questions regarding sexual health, which therefore requires the social worker to be competent in this area of work. Therefore the study aimed to investigate how counselors working at youth guidance centers

Research question: What are the prerequisites and influential factors that determine an inclusive planning and implementation process of Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs)? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a more holistic understanding of SUMPs. Therefore, the aim is to explore the prerequisites and influential factors that determine the inclusive planning and implementation

The fashion industry is one of the largest industries in the world, a multibillion dollar industry on the manufacturing and selling of clothes. With the rise of social media and digitalization of fashion, meaning that brands are carrying over to digital means of showcasing their products like social media, fashion trends have never been more accessible to the general market than ever. However, the

Energifrågan gällande tillgång, kapacitet och kostnad för el har under de senaste åren blivit en aktualitet i det svenska men även europeiska samhället. Bakgrunden till att energifrågor har blivit angelägna i nuläget är främst en ökad elektrifiering av samhället, ökade kostnader på grund av kriget i Ukraina 2022 och kapaciteten som inte har motsvarat efterfrågan. I samband med en osäkrare omvärld,The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a single-family house can, in the event of a possible crisis when electricity is not available, manage the heating of a house during the worst week of the year when the house is off-grid. Furthermore, to calculate the potential climate impact for the house's energy demand during that week. Thus, three different heating scenarios have been ch

Title: The Search for Synergies - An exploration of differences in challenges and opportunities in managing sustainable activities across developed and emerging markets Seminar Date: 2024-05-30 Course: BUSN09, Degree project in International Strategic Management Authors: Adam Fornell and Clarissa Nadya Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Keywords: Multinational Corporations, Sustainable Valu

This degree project aimed to produce a standardized food product enriched with 14g polar lipids (PL) and compare its effects on glycemic response and appetite sensations both acutely and following a second meal in healthy individuals. In order to elucidate the viability of enriching a prebaked product with polar lipids researchers spent multiple weeks assessing variations in recipe, cook time, coo

Spending time outdoors during childhood can improve learning, promote pro- environmental behavior, and improve physical and mental health. However, most of our everyday lives are spent indoors and thus a disassociation from nature is created. Paradoxically, a positive relationship between humans and nature is vital for its preservation, and our survival. Through outdoor education in elementary sch

This thesis investigates the application of spline regression models to predict the Probability of Default (PD) under varying macroeconomic conditions, exploring whether these models can enhance predictive accuracy over traditional linear models and compare favorably to XGBoost. The study analyses the non-linear dynamics between PD and key macroeconomic indicators within a Swedish small-sized corp

Impulsivitet är en komplex och viktig faktor i studier av personlighetsdrag och i förståelsen av risktagande beteenden. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka sambandet mellan personlighetsbunden impulsivitet och benägenheten till risktagande. Vi använde en kvantitativ metod som innefattade två frågeformulär för att mäta impulsivitet och tävlingsinriktning, samt en version av Iowa Gambling Task (Impulsivity is a complex and important factor in the study of personality traits and understanding risk-taking behaviors. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between trait impulsivity and propensity for risk-taking. We utilized a quantitative method employing two questionnaires to measure impulsivity and competitiveness, alongside a version of the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), designed fo

Youth's climate change awareness is rising, but so are their concerns about the future, with climate anxiety being common in young adults and adolescents. Engaging adolescents in climate action is considered one strategy to mitigate these concerns but for them to become active they need to be aware of the issue. This research aims to answer if an increase in knowledge affects the climate ch

This thesis aims to investigate the impact of ERCC2 mutations and their role in the Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) DNA repair mechanism. Using genetically modified MCF10A cell lines with an inducible Cas9, the study explores how these mutations affect cellular sensitivity to cisplatin, a chemotherapy drug. CRISPR-Cas9 technology was employed in an attempt to generate monoallelic cell lines with

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a well-known computationally hard problem often used to benchmark new optimization algorithms. With recent advances in the field of quantum computing, quantum optimization algorithms are emerging as promising new ways to potentially solve such problems that remain difficult for classical computers. However, most modern quantum processing units (QPUs) still l
