Bitcoin har på senare tid blivit alltmer integrerad i de globala finansmarknaderna men det är fortfarande oklart hur Bitcoin påverkar mindre ekonomier med lägre adoptionsnivå av tillgången. Samtidigt är det osäkert i vilken utsträckning bitcoinrapportering i traditionell media påverkar investerares förväntningar, särskilt då synen på tillgången är i ständig förändring. Med hjälp av data på avkastn
This thesis analyzes whether the growth in productive credit is positively associated with economic growth in Taiwan from 1997 to 2023, while the growth in unproductive credit is not. It also focuses on whether credit creation is the main determinant of investment rather than savings. This study constructs new proxies of productive and unproductive credit by including loans to the government and a
Today, in our ever-changing world, the concept of open-air museums, whose main purpose is heritage preservation, must meet the challenges of the times. These include finding a new role in the modern world, necessity to remain relevant, and addressing the challenges of funding for long-term sustainable development. Our master's thesis examines the case of Fredriksdal Open-Air Museum. We focus o
Fastighetsägare står inför ökande press från nya EU-regler kring energi och hållbarhet, samtidigt som driftkostnaderna stiger. Denna studie undersöker lönsamheten för energieffektiviserande åtgärder för fastighetsägare som vill navigera dessa nya krav samtidigt som de uppnår ekonomisk hållbarhet. EU:s övergripande klimatstrategi, inklusive Green Deal och direktiv som CSRD, EPBD och EU-taxonomin, sProperty owners face increasing pressure from new EU regulations on energy and sustainability, coupled with rising utility costs. This study investigates the profitability of energy efficiency measures for property owners aiming to navigate these new demands while achieving economic sustainability. The EU's climate strategy, including the Green Deal and directives like CSRD, EPBD, and the EU T
As destinations across the world begin to show signs of overtourism, further evaluation of the tourism industry is necessary. Current research is largely focused on understanding the relationship between tourism and housing prices, but neglect to take a destination's overall housing affordability into consideration. Thus, the study examines the relationship between tourism and housing affordab
Myoelectric prosthetics utilize machine learning(ML) algorithms to translate surface electromyography(sEMG) signal patterns into movement, allowing patients to easily control their prosthesis. While the use of conventional ML algorithms has been effective within these prosthetics, challenges still remain in terms of classification accuracy and computation speed. It was hypothesized that Kolmogorov
Pythia with Rope Hadronization, and the Canonical-Statistical Model with strangeness undersaturation (γSCSM), have shown remarkably similar results when simulating strange hadrons yields relative to pion yields as a function of event-multiplicity. As the underlying assumptions in these models are very different, a novel observable is warranted. The aim of this thesis is to show that K0S/(π+ + π−)
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d
Detta projekt undersöker hur ”Mujtama Al-Meem/مجتمع الميم” – queerpersoner i Syrien – hanterar begränsningarna som följer av samhällelig konservatism, politiskt våld och heteronormativitet i deras vardagsliv. Genom kvalitativa onlineintervjuer utforskar projektet hur queera syrier uttrycker sina identiteter, skapar stödnätverk och föreställer sig alternativa framtider. Projektet betonar hur motståThis project explores how ”Mujtama Al-Meem/مجتمع الميم/queer people” in Syria deal with the limitations of societal conservatism, political violence, and heteronormativity in their day-to-day lives. Drawing on qualitative online interviews, it explores how queer Syrians perform their identities, create support networks, and imagine different futures. The project emphasizes how resistance manifests

Strategic decision-making (SDM) is a core function of managerial roles, often carried out under pressure, uncertainty, and cognitive limitations. This thesis explores how overconfidence bias affects strategic decision-making in organisational settings. While cognitive biases have been extensively studied in psychology and behavioural economics, the specific impact of overconfidence on business-rel
Skolfrånvaro är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem där forskning tyder på att individer utan fullföljd utbildning löper större risk för arbetslöshet och att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. För att förebygga denna problematik menar Skolverket i en rapport från 2023 att interprofessionell samverkan utgör en framgångsfaktor. Tidigare forskning har redogjort för hur samverkan vanligtvis betraktas som nå

The development of the water-borne microbiome in newly installed polyethylene pipes of a non-chlorinated drinking water distribution system was studied over a period of six months. Water samples were taken from two identical newly installed pipes (“NP1”, “NP2”), as well as from a reference point at equal distance (“DS1”). These water samples were filtered and had the DNA extracted using FastDNA SP
The phenomenon of cyclical female mentoring, defined as women’s engagement in same gender mentoring relationships both as a mentee and a mentor, has been underexplored in the mentoring literature. The purpose of this study is thus to understand how women experience cyclical female mentoring, with a specific focus on relational, gender-focused, and learning dimensions. To fulfil this purpose, the s
Sustainability reporting remains a well-established field of research, with many important contributions. Additionally, the public has a growing desire for firms to adopt responsible ESG practices, thus requiring more transparency and accountability. Without the acceptance from the public, the business might face negative consequences. The understanding of how sustainability reporting is disclosed
This thesis investigates model-based electromagnetic comparability (EMC) of an IGBT-based two-level voltage source converter (VSC). The main focus lies on common-mode and differential-mode behaviour through conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). The study centres around the Active Dynamic Filter P25 developed by Comsys AB, which serves as the converter under test (CUT). Conducted emissions
The importance of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is growing as global risks increase and more actors implement DRM strategies. However, the unpredictable and complex nature of disasters and other risks makes it difficult to train DRM skills in advance. Serious games, which are games designed for educational purposes, offer a promising way to build these skills by simulating real-world challenges i
Background: The beauty industry has transitioned away from traditional marketing and toward interactive, social media-driven techniques, with firms engaging customers with influencers and user-generated content on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. While most studies focus on advertisements and influencers, little is known about how average users, particularly young women, interact with beaut
