Entrepreneurial intentions have been identified as a relevant precursor to entrepreneurial behavior; however, the complexities of entrepreneurial intention remain under-explored. This study examines the impact of offspring involvement with parental businesses on their entrepreneurial career intentions and the indirect roles of perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. Building primarily on
The development of 6G network management technology relies on the solution of large-scale combinatorial optimization (CO) problems on graphs. Many of these problems are NP-hard and must be solved approximately in practice. Despite decades of research and development, classical heuristics and approximation algorithms still struggle with accuracy and the computational demands of scaling to large pro
This thesis investigates the feasibility and performance of implementing attention-based machine learning models for high-precision cellular localization on low-power hardware. While such models, particularly those using the self-attention mechanism, have demonstrated impressive accuracy in extracting spatial information from wireless signals, they typically rely on GPU acceleration, limiting thei
This bachelor’s degree project investigates the improvement of the functionality, comfort, and aesthetics of forearm crutches for people living with temporary or chronic mobility limitations. The target group of individuals aged 40-65 reflects a wide range of lifestyles, from short-distance mobility to commuting. Through interviews and observations with individuals that belong to the target group,
This work seeks to investigate and answer how different perspectives during the sketching process can influence a project’s design and decision-making, as well as how it is expressed in the finished result. I mean to exemplify how the approach can be used as a tool to more strategically and fundamentally explore one’s own sketching process, to understand what really control and motivate critical d
Syftet med denna uppsats är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur poliser upplever och hanterar möten med personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa och missbruksproblematik samt hur de positionerar sitt yrkesansvar i relation till andra samhällsaktörer. Uppsatsen utgår från Thomas F. Gieryns teori om gränsarbete, men bygger vidare på Andreas Liljegrens uppdelning av teorin för att tydligare särskilja olika
This thesis explores how Japanese cultural experience professionals act as cultural intermediaries to mediate Japanese culture for foreign tourists in the context of increasingly popular cultural tourism. This research employs a micro ethnographic methodology and thematic analysis of participant observation notes, semi structured interviews, photographic materials, and online comments to explore h
This study aims to examine if, and how, nine municipalities in Skåne, Sweden, adopt an intersectional view in their governing documents regarding intimate partner violence, focusing on the portrayal of “vulnerable groups”. With an interpretive content analysis and the guidance of Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theoretical framework of intersectionality and Carol Smart’s critical perspective on law and power,
In light of the recent austerity measures affecting cultural policy in several Western countries, this thesis aims to investigate the values mobilised by a cultural festival in Cologne, Germany, to justify its activities to financiers. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, involving interviews with festival representatives and document analysis of funding applications. Drawing on Boltansk
Despite the significant advances in cancer genomics, identifying all cancer drivers (CDs) remains a challenge. Most of the existing approaches rely heavily on mutational data, while emerging research has started to put focus on epigenetic regulation in cancer development. This is why the OriGENE model —a convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to classify CDs based on H3K4me3 histone modi
Purpose: The objective of this study is to explore sojourners’ acculturation process within the context of retail spaces and gain a deeper understanding of market-mediated spaces in consumer acculturation. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative research approach. In total, 15 semi-structured interviews with sojourners from eight Asian countries were conducted. The analysis of the data was g
Effective methods for locating formally protected capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus) lek sites in the Swedish forest landscape are essential for targeted conservation measures. This study aimed to develop a multi-scale habitat suitability model for capercaillie lek sites in the northern Swedish forest counties, and further evaluate its potential to identify priority areas for future field survey effo
This thesis examines how coaching shapes the learning experience in incubator programs, drawing on the perspectives of both coaches and early-stage entrepreneurs. While coaching is often positioned as a core learning intervention within incubators, its actual role in entrepreneurial learning remains insufficiently understood. Based on eleven semi-structured interviews with participants from incuba
Föreningslivet på både skol- och universitetsnivå har en stark ställning i USA och är väl utforskat, vilket skiljer sig från den svenska gymnasiala kontexten där det råder en begränsad mängd forskning på området. Denna kunskapslucka väckte intresset för att undersöka föreningslivets påverkan på gymnasieskolor i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur elever upplever föreningslivets påve
This thesis investigates the trends of subnational economic development in Vietnam from 2018 to 2023 to test for economic convergence on a regional scale in addition to analysing the extent to which local institutions lead to differing economic outcomes. The findings of this paper suggests that there existed a wide gap in the economic performance of Vietnamese provinces at the start of the period
In this thesis, the aim is to gain an understanding of Skanör-Falsterbo’s decline by studying economy, demography, politics, environment, and the medieval categorization of the towns and comparing them to Malmö and Åhus. I have done so by using urban theory together with social practice theory where I have adapted a social-ecological-system. I have conducted this study by using historical sources,
This paper examines the evolution of the return premium associated with corporate PAC contributions among S&P 500 firms between 1993 and 2024, and assesses whether political giving continues to yield financially meaningful payoffs. A panel of 500 large-cap firms (per year) is analyzed using OLS firm and year fixed-effects regressions. Key regressors include continuous PAC-donation amounts, int
The Palestinian refugee question is one of the most protracted and politically charged refugee crises of modern times and in modern history. Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have endured generations of statelessness, constrained by exclusionary legal frameworks. This study examines the condition of statelessness among Palestinian refugee youth in Lebanon and the formation of political agency and ev
This study examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and stock returns within the STOXX Europe 600 Index over the period 2019–2024. A balanced panel dataset was constructed by applying a frozen basket approach including 465 firms with continuous index membership and complete ESG data from Refinitiv Eikon. The analysis evaluates whether ESG scores, t
This thesis examines how psychological contracts and psychological safety shape the psychological constructs often associated with employee retention, based on insights from Danske Bank. As competition for talent intensifies, organisations must work on strengthening their understanding of the influences on employee retention. Despite the growing popularity of the concept of psychological safety in
