This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi

This study examines how grandiose narcissism affects the resource acquisition of aspiring entrepreneurs. The study's results help bridge a gap in the literature and provide a better understanding of the nexus between narcissism and entrepreneurial finance. By drawing on previous literature from both fields, we set out to explore the relationship between narcissism and an individual’s preferenc
Kunskap om hur tilltalade i svenska rättegångar rationaliserar och förklarar sina handlingar har i begränsad mån identifierats i tidigare forskning på området neutraliseringstekniker. Komparativa studier på ämnet i svensk kontext har inte identifierats, vilket resulterar i begränsad kunskap om hur rationalisering av brottsliga handlingar ter sig mellan brottstyper i Sverige. En adekvat förståelse
Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets. For companies investing in electrification, record-high and volatile electricity prices, present challenges and creates a need to improve the charging scheduling of
In recent years, regeneration has come to the attention as a better alternative to sustainability. However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi
This study exploits the introduction of a new prioritization criteria for food security interventions to estimate the marginal impact of such programs. Findings indicate that, in municipalities assigned to receive nutrition policies more intensely, the number of children receiving micronutrient supplements was higher. In addition, being prioritized was associated with a very small improvement in n
This study explores entrepreneurial decision-making with respect to non-analytic and analytic behaviour among novice and expert entrepreneurs. In order to understand and categorise subcomponents, or strategies, of these two styles of decision-making think-aloud protocols were used. By exploring and comparing behaviour within various entrepreneurial scenarios, and segmenting it using precise catego
It is widely accepted that nancial mark behaviour is characterized by periodicity. However, in academia and practice financial markets are often modeled as time consistent, resulting in static investment strategies that are assumed to be ecient. This has great implications on investors' allocation decisions and in valuation of risks and performances. In this thesis we consider different risk f
Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels and Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels set in Ankh-Morpork are similar enough that both can be treated as belonging to the subgenre of comic fantasy. The narratives foreground the fantastic, written to entertain and amuse its readers but also contain societal criticism in the form of satire or parody. This paper compares the unnatural aspects of Gulliver’s Trave
This paper studies whether Swedish workers use the unemployment insurance (UI) system as a pathway to retirement. We use longitudinal register data consisting of weekly UI benefit payments for the period 1999 to 2015. In Sweden, individuals are eligible for UI benefits for a maximum of 427 days. This creates an artificial benefit threshold at 427 days prior to the official retirement age. We use a
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) become more advanced and more accessible which leads to new ways of work. A rather new phenomenon is that of location independent workers (LIWs), who are enabled by these technologies to work while traveling the world. New ways of working assumingly lead to changes in the work-nonwork interface. This study takes a demands and resources approach to
Arbetet utforskar möjligheterna att lyfta fram och synliggöra byggnader som kan ha ett publikt intresse och tillgängliggöra områden och delar av våra städer som idag bara är nåbart av en liten del av befolkningen. Genom att öppna upp mer av vår omvärld ökas förståelsen för hur vårt samhälle fungerar samt bidrar till en starkare samlevnad. Arbetet använder sig av vattenkraftverk som exempelbyggnad
This study examined the acculturation strategies of immigrant adolescents in Sweden and their relation to the mental health symptoms. The participants were 101 immigrant adolescents and 52 Swedish adolescents 15 to 19 years old. ‘Immigration paradox’ was examined comparing the mental health of first and second generation of immigrants and the native Swedes. Youth Self Report was used to assess men
Viktor Orbán as the Prime Minister of Hungary is a figure that dominates headlines both at home and abroad. During his time in Hungarian and European politics, he has never shied away from using history to bolster his political message. Following the ongoing refugee crisis of 2015, he has employed history as tool against refugees. This paper aims to investigate which aspects of Hungarian history O
Research Problem: While research on rapid venture growth has mostly focused on high-growth firms in later stages of development, the topic has become increasingly important to understand for new ventures as well. With the establishment of crowdfunding as an alternative source of financing, companies have access to tools that enable quick expansion of their marketing, funding and distribution capa
Background: The IKEA Range & Supply organisation consists of business areas (BAs) and categories. BAs work with product development toward end-customers while the material-based categories work toward suppliers with purchasing and sourcing related tasks. There exists an internal cross-organisational interface between these units and IKEA recently created Sourcing Assignment as a tool to encour
Networking has been found to be ever more important in the economy of today’s globalised world. In recent years, public relations has started to pay attention to the process of networking and network theories. A branch which is understood to be based on networks and which is at the centre of current economic processes is that of creative industries. Creative industries consist of a diversity of sm
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier separating the brain from the circulatory system. The physical barrier is built up by a monolayer of endothelial cells, which is the main component used for in vitro modeling. To create more physiologically relevant in vitro models, the field of organs-on-chips has recently been introduced, combining microfluidics and microengineering to
