The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed target experiment at SLAC's LCLS-II electron beamline that will attempt direct production of sub-GeV dark matter, measurable through a missing momentum and missing energy signature. An initial run of LDMX is planned at 4 GeV beam energy, for which a study on LDMX's capabilities to separate dark matter production events from the s
Maintaining engaged employees has become a key issue for organizations in recent years, as millennials have become the largest generation currently active in the work life. Recently, Covid-19 pandemic forced marketing agencies in Finland to start working in-remote, posing even bigger challenge for engagement in these organi- zations. Using the theoretical framework of social exchange, this thesis
Heavy road freight transports in Sweden are responsible for a significant portion of national greenhouse gas emissions. Earlier research has looked at the purchasing process of transports in a business-to-business context and established its importance for limiting environmental impact. This thesis’ purpose is to study purchasing criteria related to the climate and explore the potential use of emi
I takt med att samhället blir allt mer digitaliserat har ett tryck etablerats på offentlig sektor att transformeras digitalt. Den digitala förvaltningen har kommit att kallas e-förvaltning och digitaliseringen sker här i vågor. Den senaste vågen har inneburit e-tjänster och automatisering. I samband med detta har kommuner vänt sig till RPA för en lättare automatiseringslösning i sina processer. I
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att kartlägga hur platsannonser för den kvinnodominerade yrkesgruppen HR-specialister idag är formulerade när det gäller efterfrågade personliga egenskaper. Syftet är vidare att analysera om dessa egenskaper är könskodade samt att kartlägga vilka konsekvenser som kan uppstå för företag och den sökande om de efterfrågade personliga egenskaperna i platsannonser form
There is no consensus on how to define and measure green growth. Consequently, we can neither state if growth is actually green nor econometrically explore important questions such as what determines green growth. This thesis takes a three-step approach to move one step closer to a unifying longitudinal cross-country measure of green growth. It analyzes how green growth has been quantitatively mea
This paper sought to examine the experiences of an intimate partner violence policy, created in order to spread both awareness and implications to act among residents of apartment communities. The initiative, called Huskurage, has been introduced in a Swedish crime prevention context. When implemented, the policy engages neighbors to look out for each other. Our study scrutinizes the experiences o
The growing mountain of electronic waste is a threat to human health and an unsustainable handling of our finite natural resources. With the aim to decrease the creation of waste, including electronic, the EU have decided to separate resource use from economic growth by supporting the transition to a circular economy. The inclusion of the private sector in the financing of this transition is cruci
In the framework of this thesis, the optimization of the etching process of GaN for FinFET applications has been investigated. FinFETs are transistors with a vertical architecture in the shape of fins. These fins are fabricated by etching a pattern into a GaN substrate. The etching is carried out in two steps, a dry etch and a wet etch. In this thesis, these etching steps have been carried out whi
Forskningsfråga: Vad har aktörer i en koordinerad marknadsekonomi för syn på revisionsplikten och hur ser sambandet ut mellan synen och deras förtroende för revisorskåren? Syfte: Syftet är att studera aktörers inställning till revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag i KME:n Sverige och undersöka det eventuella sambandet mellan inställningen och förtroende. Metod: Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av Sverig
The demand for alternative sources of protein has increased; the so-called “protein shift” is an inevitability. Mycoprotein, a foodstuff produced from the mycelium of filamentous fungi, has gained popularity among consumers. Mycoprotein is grown in submerged culture, in either a simple or a complex, undefined medium. Strategies for yield increase in either medium were studied in this paper. For s
This study emphasizes the significance of social media influencer traits, such as expert, trustworthiness, likeability, and homophily, in determining the legitimacy of social media influencers as a formative construct in Sweden's fashion sector. It successfully instils brand image in customers, which leads to purchase intentions. More decisively, brand image influences the link between the tru
Recombinant protein expression of Cas9 was performed at BioInvent International AB using prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems. For the eukaryotic expression, two types of mammalian cells were used namely HEK293 cells and CHO cells. The first expressions were performed using the pIRO-KL vector encoding the kappa leader secretory sequence. The kappa secretory sequence is responsible for tra
För företag är information en viktig tillgång, varav informationssäkerhet är en angelägenhet för alla företag oavsett företagsstorlek. Även mikroföretag drabbas av cyberattacker, men i jämförelse med större företag har de begränsat med resurser att allokera till informationssäkerhet. En konsekvens av detta är att informationssäkerhet i allmänhet hanteras av en lekman. Det förekommer studier som ar
Commercialization has been recognized as one of the most difficult phases of the innovation process. Failure rates are high, even for products with the potential to address real needs and deliver real customer value. This master's thesis explores commercialization in an even more challenging business context than the typical case. First, the innovating company is an early startup with limited
G protein-coupled receptors are the biggest family of membrane bound receptor in the human genome, they are also target for many drugs due to their accessible location in the cell membrane. We have characterized the G protein recruitment of the succinate receptor 1 (SUCNR1/GPR91). GPR91 was deorphanized in 2004 and already then it was suggested that GPR91 could couple to the Gi-family and the Gq-f

Syfte: Syftet med denna replikationsstudie är att utifrån ett konsumentperspektiv i Sverige testa och jämföra hur en produktskadekris påverkar varumärken med hög- respektive låg brand equity. Studien syftar även till att bidra med ökad kunskap till ämnena brand equity och produktskadekriser. Metod: Studien är en replikationsstudie av tidigare experiment brand equitys roll under produktskadekriser Purpose: The purpose of this replication study is to test and compare how a product damage crisis affects brands with high and low brand equity from a consumer perspective in Sweden. The study also aims to contribute with increased knowledge to the topics of brand equity and product-harm crisis. Methodology: The study is a replication study of previous experiments in which brand equity's role
Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur tonåriga pojkar (årskurs 1 på gymnasiet) beskriver och upplever välbefinnande, vilken roll olika faktorer spelar för deras välbefinnande och vilka strategier de själva erfarit kan hjälpa dem vid utmanande situationer. Detta undersöktes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio pojkar från en gymnasieskola. Materialet kodades och analyserades med Interpretative
The following paper illuminates the difficulties that people with criminal background may experience in the process of labour market (re)integration. While employment for offenders released from prison is important to avoid former criminal lifestyle, previous literature shows that offenders released from prison face various difficulties to secure a job. Drawing on theories on stigmatization, l
