Syftet med detta projekt är att utforska utrymmen i hemmet och undersöka deras potential. Projektet undersöker vidare hur dessa utrymmen kan utnyttjas för att utöka våra hem. Resultatet är en förvaringslösning som kombinerar material- och visuella egenskaper för att sömlöst passa in i alla hem, med potential för personalisering.
This paper examines the association between Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI), official development assistance (ODA) from European Union institutions, and economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa. This is empirically tested by running a fixed-effects regression model with panel data spanning from 2003–2023 in 46 Sub-Saharan African countries. The relationship between both financial flows and de
Digital communication tools are increasingly the primary medium of internal organizational interaction. Understanding how employees' experiences with these tools are tied with their perceptions of the communication climate has therefore become a central concern in strategic communication research. This study examines the associations between digital communication tool experiences, general tech
Sustainability-driven consumer brands face strategic challenges when expanding internationally, as institutional environments shape not only market access but also how legitimacy for the brand and product category must be constructed across markets. This thesis examines how sustainability-driven consumer brands navigate divergent institutional environments in their international market entry and s
Bid--ask spreads in interest rate swap markets reflect a dealer’s compensation for transaction costs, hedging frictions, and residual risk. This thesis develops a utility-based pricing framework for modeling bid--ask spreads of EUR interest rate swap portfolios when hedged using liquid exchange-traded futures. German government bond futures, specifically the short-, medium-, and long-maturity Scha
This thesis examines what happens to a city’s maritime heritage when it transitions from being lived in shipyards, to being managed in office buildings. Set in the post-industrial harbor district of Västra Hamnen in Malmö, Sweden, the study investigates how the gentrification of a former shipyard created the spatial and symbolic conditions for the World Maritime University (WMU), a United Nations
Self-leadership is becoming increasingly important in organisations characterized by knowledge intensive work and boundaryless work. The aim with this study was to investigate the following research questions: a.What types of strategies of self-leadership are used by the co-workers? b. What aspects influence co-workers´ adoption of self-leadership strategies? c. How are the self- leadership strate
Tidigare studier har visat en minskning av artrikedom i tundraekosystem i norra Fennoskandien, vilket innebär en betydande risk för ekosystemens funktion samt för renskötselns betesmarker. I samband med klimatförändringar och ökad mänsklig aktivitet är det därför viktigt att undersöka sambandet mellan artrikedom, aktuella och historiska miljöförhållanden samt antropogen påverkan. För att adresseraPrevious studies have shown a recent decline of vegetation diversity across tundra ecosystems in Northern Fennoscandia, posing a significant risk to ecosystem functioning and reindeer grazing. In the context of climate change and increasing human activities, it is essential to evaluate the nexus between vegetation diversity, current and historical environmental conditions and human impact.

MAX IV Laboratory is a modern synchrotron light source, providing synchrotron radiation used in a wide range of experiments. The production of synchrotron radiation used in experiments typically takes place in insertion devices (IDs), in which an oscillatory motion is induced in traversing electrons, stimulating the emission of synchrotron radiation. IDs consist of a periodic arrangement of magnet
Detta projekt undersöker hur förståelsen av företagshuvudkontoret som en arkitektonisk typologi kan lägga grunden för dess omvandling till en ny urban funktion. Projektet utvecklas som en fallstudie av Ericssons tidigare huvudkontor i Kista, ett stort kontorskomplex som för närvarande står tomt under en period med höga vakansgrader i ett område som genomgår förändring. I takt med att denna del av
This thesis investigates the predictability of returns on Research and Development (R&D) investments among leading European innovation-driven firms. R&D is the engine of long-term economic growth and corporate competitive advantage, yet its returns are notoriously uncertain due to high information asymmetry and long gestation periods. Traditionally, financial analysts and researchers have
Research Purpose: This study examines how middle- and long-distance triathletes use the symbolic consumption of extraordinary endurance experiences to construct and communicate their identity across the full consumption journey. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework of symbolic consumption by Elliott and Wattanasuwan (1998) is used to analyse how triathletes’ use the symbolic consumpti
Syftet med studien är att undersöka sambandet mellan oljeprisförändringar och aggregerade EBIT-marginaler i OMX30 och OBX25 under perioden 2002–2025 samt om sambandet skiljer sig mellan länderna och över tid. En deduktiv ansats används med multipla OLS-regressioner, Newey-West-standardfel, Chow-test och rullande beta-analys. Resultaten visar inget statistiskt signifikant samband mellan oljeprisför
Handledare: Elias Bengtsson Syfte: Studiens syftar till att undersöka sambandet mellan användningen av ränteswappar och kapitalstruktur i svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag. Metod: Studien tillämpar en kvantitativ forskningsansats med deduktiv design. Paneldata från 29 svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag under perioden 2014-2024 analyseras med hjälp av multipel regressionsanalys. Teoretiska
This thesis examines how American Author Jack London’s dystopian novel The Iron Heel (1908) depicts freedom as limited and unattainable under the conditions of concentrated economic power from an oligarchy. While previous discourse on The Iron Heel has focused on the intentions behind the creation of the novel, seeing it as either a work of protest, propaganda, or a way to endorse a Marxist ideolo
Detta examensarbete tar fram ett förslag för en ny arena vid Norra Hovstallängen i Uppsala och undersöker hur en storskalig evenemangs- och idrottsbyggnad kan integreras i en av stadens mest centrala och strategiskt placerade platser, i nära anslutning till Uppsala centralstation. Platsens läge i staden väcker frågor kring hur en sådan framträdande yta bör användas, och vilket värde en storskalig
Invasive alien species are plants and animals introduced to new areas by humans with a negative effect on various habitats. In Sweden the shrub Rosa rugosa has recently been put on a national list of species that should be addressed as a cause of concern. Rosa rugosa was moved by humans to Europe in the 17th hundreds, with the intention of using it as an ornamental plant. It has also been used as
