The participants in the study were white collar workers from a Swedish manufacturing industry who on a daily basis were using computer and information technology in their work. These com

The first season aired in 2019 and it is estimated that more than 6.8 million people have watched the show. As a result, the F1 brand is stronger than
Climate-focused study abroad relying on high-emitting travel poses a dilemma between study abroad and emission reductions. This study employs the three spheres of transformation investigating this dilemma through coding syllabi (n=156,) surveying educators (n=9,) and interviewing (n=14) Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) affiliates considering whether studying climate chang
The 2011 UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) introduced human rights due diligence (HRDD) as a societal expectation to businesses to implement a new kind of due diligence risk management process to ‘know and show’ they respect human rights. Ten years later, mandatory human rights due diligence (mHRDD) legislation imposing a legal duty to carry out HRDD has become mainstream
Current post-carbon transition trajectories are primarily based on a belief in technical solutions wherein considerations of the citizens’ role in collective mobilisation and transformation are largely overlooked. To this end, the thesis seeks to understand how citizens can become active agents of change within transition efforts and how their political agency can be empowered accordingly. This, b
This study examines the impact of newly built parks on housing prices in New York City between 2011 and 2023. The case of New York City is especially interesting due to its high amount of new urban greening projects during the last few decades. Related to the different benefits of urban greening, there is evidence that parks increase the desirability of a neighborhood and thereby raise property va
This paper analyses how international status aspiration influences the foreign policy decisions of two emerging powers, India and Brazil. Drawing on status theory, specifically social identity theory, the research examines how the two countries pursue similar global and regional recognition goals despite significantly different geopolitical environments, histories, and populations. Further, they a
This thesis investigates whether incorporating the Christoffersen independence test into regulatory backtesting frameworks can enhance financial stability by improving the detection of systemic risk. Using daily Value-at-Risk and profit-and-loss data from 13 major international banks over 2018–2022, the study distinguishes between clustered and isolated VaR exceptions, applying event studies and p
Abstract in UndeterminedThis study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) between 11 and 19 years of age. Conversational skills were assessed in a referential communication task where the participants interacted with a hearing peer of the same age and gender. The measures were
INTRODUCTION: Mental health workers' attitudes toward individuals who self-harm impact accessibility and quality of care. Previous studies have established the role of training on professionals' attitudes, with mixed findings for gender and work experience. While self-report attitudinal scales are frequently used, latent response trends across such scales are seldom considered. The present study e
The Arctic-Boreal region is projected to experience spatially divergent trends in snow depth following climate change. However, the impact of these spatial trends has remained largely unexplored, despite potentially large consequences for the carbon cycle. To address this knowledge gap, we forced a customised arctic version of the dynamic vegetation model LPJ-GUESS with daily CMIP6 outputs from a
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, not least in the elderly. The incidence of aged TBI patients has increased dramatically during the last decades. High age is a highly negative prognostic factor in TBI, and pharmacological treatment options are lacking. We used the controlled cortical impact (CCI) TBI model in 23-month-old male and female mice and analyzed t
Aim: To explore the impact of age on the discriminative ability of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) 2 in prediction of unanticipated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and mortality within 24 hours of Rapid Response Team (RRT) review. Furthermore, to investigate 30- and 90-day mortality, and the discriminative ability of NEWS 2 in prediction of long-term
