This thesis examines whether female labor force participation (FLFP) and export diversification function as complementary drivers of macroeconomic resilience in oil-dependent Nigeria between 1996 and 2024. Anchored in the social capability framework and OLS on annual time series data, it tests whether higher FLFP and diversification alone reduce GDP volatility, and whether their interaction yields

This paper aims to comprehensively examine the impact of global climate change, particularly how climate change and the natural disasters it triggers affect the insurance sector in Asia and Europe and the stock market performance of reinsurance companies in both Asia and Europe. Using an appropriate event study methodology, the study investigates the impact of two natural disasters in China and tw

The transition towards a circular economy is an imperative function in the pursuit towards a more sustainable fashion textile industry. Through this transition, consumer cooperation and engagement are necessary points in guiding society towards more responsible shopping behaviors. This study extends the understanding of consumer behavior as it pertains to the purchasing, use, and disposal habits o

Although Fourier Neural Operators (FNOs) are computationally efficient and theoretically mesh-independent, their standard formulation assumes periodic boundary conditions and rectangular domains. When applied to non-periodic conditions, FNOs often exhibit oscillations, edge effects, and reduced accuracy. To mitigate these issues, this study investigates modifications to the baseline FNO, including

This study investigates the concept of Selective Intentional Non-Compliance (SINC) in aviation. Deliberate, context-driven deviations from procedures motivated by safety in response to dynamic operational conditions. Based on a survey of 39 European commercial pilots, we analysed the prevalence, motivations, and perceived outcomes of procedural deviations. Nearly 43% reported deviating from s

In modern society with its ever-increasing interconnectedness and digitalisation, cybersecurity becomes a prominent issue with tangible ramifications beyond the cyber space. To effectively counter attacks, organisations and their cybersecurity managers must anticipate potential adverse events. Most public research in cybersecurity is concentrated on technology; however, some literature suggests t

The Indian leopard is a species that frequently comes into conflict with humans due to their adaptability and wide habitat range, allowing them to persist around urban landscapes like Bengaluru. While the surrounding landscape naturally supports leopards, human factors have driven them to frequent urban areas. Increased leopard sightings have led to more translocations, but relocating animals base

Partial differential equations (PDEs) are central in many scientific research areas, including modeling physical phenomena and economic forecasting. While the general solutions of PDEs can be complex, we can determine a particular solution by introducing boundary conditions and/or initial conditions. This is called an Initial Boundary Value Problem (IBVP). Thalassa is a framework that generates s

As intermittent faults in distribution grids continue to cause unplanned outages, grid owners face increasing challenges related to reliability, restoration times, and maintenance planning. These challenges not only affect customers but also result in higher operational costs and resource demands for grid operators. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods for proactive fault management b

Byggnader är en central komponent i 3D stadsmodeller. Att skapa sådana modeller enligt relevant standard är inte alltid enkelt och kan vara tidskrävande. Den här studien undersöker en metod att skapa byggnadsmodeller utifrån the svenska nationella specifikationen (NS) för byggnader, i en detaljnivå (LOD) som inkluderar takform. Metoden utvärderar hur byggnadsytor (registerbyggnad) tillsammans med Buildings are a central component of three-dimensional (3D) city models. Generating such models according to an appropriate standard is not always straightforward and can be time-consuming. This study explores a method for generating building models that comply with the Swedish national specification (NS) for buildings, at a level of detail (LOD) that includes roof structures. The method evaluates

Sammanfattning Denna studie undersöker hur olika åtgärder kan påverka trafiksäkerheten för oskyddade trafikanter vid cirkulationsplatser. Studien bygger på en analys av trafiksituationen på en cirkulationsplats i Helsingborg. Bedömningen av trafiksituationen genomfördes med hjälp av tre metoder: hastighetsmätningar med radarpistol, en konfliktanalys mellan olika trafikgrupper baserat på filmat ma

Context Although prototyping is widely utilized in product and user interface design, as well as in requirements engineering practices within agile development, there exists a lack of theoretical frameworks surrounding this methodology. Aims The primary objective of this study is to explore both the benefits and costs of employing different types of prototyping with different levels of complexity

The purpose of this study is to explore how Syrian-born students at Swedish universities experience their establishment in the Swedish labor market, with a focus on obstacles and factors that facilitate entry into their professional field. The study is based on qualitative interviews with six Syrian-born university graduates who arrived in Sweden within the past ten years. The data were analyzed t

Alternative food networks are increasingly promoted in policy, academic, and civil society discourses as pathways to sustainable and socially just food systems. However, their demographic homogeneity raises questions about their capacity to foster social inclusion. This study explores how Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) initiatives in Southern Germany navigate tensions between solidaritybase

This Master’s thesis is a study of the existence of yogaphobia in the swedish debate between the years 2012 and 2020 concerning the religious nature yoga. Via deconstructing misconceptions of yoga from a historical standpoint combined with the use of critical discourse analysis, the thesis explores the arguments found in news articles and submitters from the swedish newspapers Dagen and Världen id

Purpose: This paper investigates the impact of crowdsourced employee content, specifically from platforms like Glassdoor, on employer branding. It further suggests strategies for organisations to utilise this data to close the gap between their internal identity and external reputation. Building upon Urde & Greyser’s (2016) Corporate Brand Identity and Reputation Matrix (CBIRM), the study seek

In the late 17th century, a new style of decorations was developing in Sweden. Brutal flaming depictions of hell started covering the ceilings of the small parish churches. The trend would catch fire and over the course of the 18th century over 500 decorations were made in churches across western Sweden. This essay studies iconographic starting points for the style in the depictions the final judg
