Scaling up climate finance is vital for avoiding the worst impacts of climate change and limiting global warming. In this light, multiple Voluntary Net-Zero Alliances for Financial Institutions (VNZAFIs) have been founded, directing capital flows from financial institutions towards climate action. Nonetheless, the contributions of VNZAFIs to the Paris Climate Goals can be put into question. This s

This paper aims to contribute to the growing literature on leadership by presenting an empirical (nurse’s) view of leadership interpretation in the health sector. Furthermore, the nurse’s view on leadership will be compared to the presented transformational leadership (TL) in change models. Ultimately, this will result in the presentation of matches and mismatches between the reality of the nurse’

Amelogenin self-assembly is a critical step in enamel matrix organization, supporting the spatial confinement of transient ACP and orchestrating hydroxyapatite nucleation and ordered growth. Studies have demonstrated that amelogenin self-assembles into nanoribbons by forming an amyloid-like structure that matches the cross-β pattern observed in the developing enamel matrix. However, molecular dete

Recent research efforts highlight the challenges associated with accurately assessing the true magnitude of the energy performance gap in buildings. Uncertainties in both predictions and measurements raise questions about the extent of the gap, its implications, and whether it is narrowing or widening. Typically, the gap is quantified by comparing measured data with various energy benchmarks and t

One of the major ways in which economic inequality can increase is when the development of wages of ordinary workers trail productivity and GDP growth, meaning that the increasing riches fall in the hand of other social groups (top employees, owners of land and capital). This paper investigates the relationship between wages and GDP in Denmark, Norway and Sweden from 1800 to 1910, using wage serie

Background: CD40 agonists have the potential to enhance the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy and to trigger antitumor immunity. Preclinical models indicate that the success of this approach depends on appropriate sequencing of chemotherapy with a CD40 agonist. Preliminary efficacy results from the OPTIMIZE-1 Phase II study (NCT04888312) combining mitazalimab (anti-CD40) with mFFX chemothe

The EU has a plan to develop itself as a leading force in the AI field, and for that, it created a whole plan to be better prepared for that and foster in-novation and development of it in the Union. One of the steps in this plan is to create a cohesive framework around AI to increase trust to the European people, as said systems although very often beneficial, also brings many risks to fundamenta

En undersökning av Stig Larssons andra roman Nyår utifrån idéer om den romantiska ironin så som de presenteras av Friedrich Schlegel och tolkas av Paul de Man samt Horace Engdahl. Uppsatsen kontrasterar synvinkeln med tidigare forskning som valt att se romanen dels som en existentialistisk roman, dels som en postmodern metafiktion.

Syfte: Syftet med den här studien är att få en ökad insikt i hur sociala medier påverkar konsumenter och belysa hur företag kan tillgodose sig deras agerande för att bygga starka varumärken på dessa forum. Metod: Forskningen är av tolkande och kvalitativ karaktär, med ett reflexivt synsätt. Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsens teoretiska perspektiv grundas i existerande litteratur rörande varumärk

A combination of an algorithm development with a case study, using data from the sales of the year 2009 from the studied e-commerce fashion company, provided several propositions to enhance customer value for this company. The propositions formulated address customer purchasing and returning behavior changing over time and influencing future behavior of the e-commerce customers, impacting the prof

En kvalitativ fallstudie där vi med hjälp av öppna personliga intervjuer talat med folk iledande befattningar på vårt fallföretag Procurator AB för att forma oss en bild av den strategiska förändring företaget genomgått de senaste tio åren. För att kunna beskriva de den förändring som Procurator genomgått under dessa år har vi identifierat tre nya begrepp, semidiversifiering, partiell diversifieri

Syftet med skattereformen 1990/91 var sänkta skattesatser, minskad progressivitet och en mer enhetlig beskattning överlag. Systemet skulle dessutom vara både enkelt att tillämpa och enkelt att överblicka samtidigt som långsiktighet och stabilitet eftersträvades. Efter ikraftträdandet har ett antal ändringar företagits samtidigt som samhället har förändrats vilket har inneburit att målen vad avser

Japan continuously attempts to reinterpret war-renouncing Article 9 while at the same time stressing its devotion to pacifism, most recently through the Legislation for Peace and Security. The new Legislation allows Japan to engage in collective self-defense, which was considered unconstitutional for 70 years. This thesis examines Japan’s legitimization of such change, answering the question; how

ABSTRACT Background: Prediabetes is a global epidemic with rising prevalence rates, but its diagnosis based on traditional risk factors is challenging. Application of novel machine-intelligence based methods to public health databases could provide valuable insights into the disease process. Aim: To build predictive models to elucidate the determinants of prediabetes using machine learning algorit

The purpose of this thesis is to improve the current method of testing infrared lighting within Axis security cameras. The current method must be designed for each type of camera, is also large, unwieldy, and takes up a significant amount of floor space which could be better utilized. This will cut back testing and labor costs for the company, and will be more environmentally friendly in that less

South Africa secretly produced six and a half nuclear weapons from 1978-1989 before undertaking a complete nuclear disarmament between 1989-1991; it is the only instance in history of when a state has discarded an indigenously developed nuclear arsenal and presents a unique case for studying the nuclear decision-making of states. This thesis is a theory-testing case study where I, by conducting a

This study is a qualitative case analysis based on fieldwork and multiple semi-structured interviews in Tolima, Colombia. It investigates the community level of the Development Program with a Territorial-based Focus (DPTF) in the south of the department. The program is a result of the peace agreement that was signed between the Colombian government and the guerrilla group the Revolutionary Armed F
