This study aims to analyze the effects of the share of female politicians in parliaments on economic growth. The study examines 180 countries over ten five-years periods between 1972- 2022. Economic growth is used as the dependent variable and is calculated as a five-year GDP per capita growth rate. Additional variables were included in the analysis to control the relationships and avoid omitted v

Research has long been interested in technological development and its effect on human outcomes, but we know little about how automation risk affects occupational and educational choices. I used a pre-registered online experiment with an information treatment containing the automation risk for teachers, economists, office clerks, and registered nurses to investigate how automation risk affects att

Människan har drömt om liv bortanför jorden, även innan upptäckten av den första exoplaneten runt en solliknande stjärna år 1995. Idag, med över 5600 bekräftade exoplaneter, är möjligheterna om liv på en annan planet bortom vår fantasi. Men innan vi ens försöker förstå oss på utomjordiskt liv, så måste vi förstå vad dessa planeter består av. Planeter och deras världsstjärnor är sammankopplade då dExoplanets and their host stars are intrinsically related as they form from the same accretion disc, and are therefore expected to have similar chemical composition. Thus, knowing the composition of exoplanet host stars is important for developing planetary formation and migration theories. There has been a recent uptick in studies of ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres as their orbital configurations p

Sedan införandet av det kommunala planmonopolet 1947 till följd av den bostadssociala utredningen har planlagstiftningen reformerats flertalet gånger. I förevarande examensarbete studeras den historiska utvecklingen av både det kommunala planmonopolet och dess tillhörande planlagstiftning. Examensarbetet syftar till att studera hur det kommunala planmonopolet kommit att utvecklas och om reformerSince the introduction of the municipal planning monopoly in 1947 following the Housing Social Investigation, the planning legislation has been reformed several times. In this thesis, the historical development of both the municipal planning monopoly and its associated planning legislation is studied. The aim of the thesis is to examine how the municipal planning monopoly has evolved and whether

Uppsatsen har i syfte att belysa skotska lokalbefolkningars upplevelser av kommodifiering i deras närområde till följd av screen tourism, med särskilt fokus på hur detta påverkar deras kulturella identitet. Studien undersöker huruvida kommodifiering och kommersialisering upplevs ha en effekt på autenticiteten av kulturella symboler och ting som blivit varor för turistkonsumtion. Undersökningen gen

This paper discusses the project in which an algorithm was written to dynamically approach federation orchestration. This builds on and is part of the REINDEER project. In an environment with goods and online agents, and in this specific case, Contact Service Points (CSPs) and User Equipments (UEs), where the agents have different applications and make unpredictable changes such as moving around a

In light of the shortcomings of dominant recycling strategies in dealing with the plastic crisis, the circularity strategy of reuse is receiving increasing attention. Due to its goal of extending product lifespans, reuse is often seen as a more progressive strategy that aims to prevent waste rather than diverting it. Investigating the emerging phenomenon of reuse organizations in a multiple-case s

“`Soft girl´: En balansgång mellan ideal, kritik och estetik” är författad av Ylva Edén, Hanna Ström och Elin von Vultée Widtfelt och verkar inom ämnet Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap på Lunds universitet. “Soft girl”-trenden innefattar vikten av att kvinnor kan koppla av och se till ett liv utan stress. För att nå en sådan livsstil uppmuntras kvinnor till att bortse från karriären och istället

The CO2 emissions globally are rising and halting them, faster action is needed on a country level. Why countries are not acting more ambitiously in on the challenges of climate change is researched more in detail through a case study of Japan and the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster. Therefore, this research was conducted to explore why climate action or environmental development is not more ambitious

The building industry is one of the most polluting sectors and consumers of resources. Simultaneously, demand for housing is increasing and resources are becoming scarce. Therefore, circular practices have gained emphasis to possibly leverage this problem. This paper aims to try and explain how the development of circular practices can be explained by the Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). This pa

Since Kenya established mobile money in 2007, the amount of usage and diffusion surged. At the same time, financial inclusion has established itself as a topic of great research and importance for policymakers. Kenya is being viewed as one of the top performers on a national level when it comes to mobile money, as M-Pesa was one of the pioneers of introducing MM. As previous literature mainly focu

The growing proportion of green energy in the electricity grids brings with it a growing need of grid stabilizing resources to counteract the inherent intermittency of renewable energy resources. This is where the grid scale energy storages come in handy. They efficiently offset the intermittencies of solar, wind etc. resources by energy arbitrage and peak shifting. This thesis looks into the econ

The purpose of this study is to examine how companies in developed and developing countries have designed and utilized their MCSs to support the accomplishment of their sustainability agenda. The developed country is represented by Sweden, meanwhile, the developing country is represented by Indonesia. This thesis utilized a qualitative approach to gain new insights on the topic. Data was collecte

Traditionally hydraulic actuators has been the primary choice in modern submarines due to their strength and reliability. In recent years many commercial and military vehicles have switched to electromechanical alternatives, as they are generally more energy efficient and have superior controllability. These are two attributes valued in a submarine, hence an investigation was carried out to assess

Bakgrund: Familjen påverkas på olika sätt när ett barn med funktionsnedsättning föds. Det ökade omvårdnadsbehovet som barnet med Downs Syndrom kan ha gör att normtypiska syskon kan få påverkan på sina vardagsaktiviteter. Detta då mer av föräldrarnas tid läggs på barnet med Downs syndrom. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vardagens aktiviteter och möjligheten till en meningsfull fritiBackground: Families are affected in different ways when a child with impairments is born. The increased caring need that the child with Down Syndrome may have, means that normtypical siblings’ everyday activities might be affected. This, because more of the parents' time is spent on the child with Down Syndrome. Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate everyday activities and the p

Som en del i klimatomställningen av svåråtkomliga sektorer som sjöfart, flyg, och kemiindustri kan elektrobränslen komma att spela en viktig roll. I Sverige har e-metanol väckt intresse, och flera produktionsanläggninar är planerade eller under byggnation. Dessa kommer att vara stora elkonsumenter, men på grund av den traditionellt icke-flexibla metanolsyntesprocessen finns det frågetecken kring hAs a part of the climate transition of hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and chemical industry, electrofuels may play a key part. In Sweden, e-methanol has gained interest, and several production facilities are currently planned or under construction. These will be very large electricity consumers, but because of the traditionally inflexible methanol synthesis they may not be able
