This study explores the dynamics of brand identity co-creation within business-to-business (B2B) contexts, focusing particularly on the role of dealers as intermediaries between suppliers and end customers. Drawing on the Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO) framework and Social Identity Theory (SIT), this research examines how dealers self-identify with the supplier’s brand identity,
Sustainable finance plays a crucial role in driving sustainable development forward, and as the market grows more accustomed to ESG measures and targets, novel debt instruments have been emerging as a result. Green bonds and sustainability-linked bonds are two financial instruments that play an important role in supporting sustainable development. In this study, these two bond types are examined t
This thesis, "The Impact of Government Policies on the COVID-19 Pandemic in Scandinavia: A Machine Learning Approach," examines the effects of governmental policies on COVID-19 outcomes in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These countries, while similar in many aspects, adopted varied public health measures in response to the pandemic. Using data pre-processing techniques and machin
Societal resilience is fundamental for navigating sustainable development while being seriously challenged by misinformation and disinformation in the post-truth era. The thesis’ purpose is to explore how AI-driven truth technologies can be developed and utilised to mitigate mis- and disinformation. Three research questions are answered to illustrate the potential of truth technologies by (1) clar
This thesis investigates the restitution of cultural artefacts looted during the colonial-era, through the comparison between two United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Conventions and the newly proposed French guideline, Shared Heritage: Universality, Restitution and Circulation of Works of Art (SHURCWA). Through a qualitative case study employing Carol Bacchi’s
Wrist fractures are a prevalent injury in Sweden. While most patients recover within a year, approximately 5000 patients a year experience significant long-term pain and impaired wrist function. Current rehabilitation methods lack the capacity to objectively measure post-fracture wrist function. Proprioception, the awareness of the body in space, is crucial for wrist function but remains challengi
This is a digital version of a written & built report of the thesis project ”The idea of a House”. It contains fragments and pieces from the project and uses the physical report as a media to order, show and guide you through the project. This part of the project tries to create a map to find the work. It complements a 22 minute film in which the entire process of the project is sorted and sho
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa påverkar förmågan att delta i aktiviteter i vardagen. Arbetsterapeuter kan genom gruppinterventioner möjliggöra engagemang i meningsfulla aktiviteter i vardagen för personer med psykisk ohälsa. Gruppinterventioner kan bidra med upplevelse av hälsa och välbefinnande utifrån teorier om aktivitetsvärden som beskrivs i den arbetsterapeutiska modellen ’The Value and Meaning in
This thesis examines when tax rulings can be seen as state aid and violate EU competition law. In the process of the research, the doctrinal legal research method will be applied, and the topic will be explored through a case law, literature review, working paper, Etc. The thesis first discusses the background of state aid law and its general application in the EU. In doing so, it analyses when an
Som kyrkomusiker förväntas jag leverera vid kyrkliga handlingar med en förberedelsetid som ofta är kortare än en vecka. Mina främsta utmaningar ligger i att effektivt instudera ett stycke och i att känna mig trygg när jag framför stycket. Jag har modifierat och utvecklat min tidigare instuderingsmetod vid inlärning av stycket Clair de lune - L. Vierne och därefter gjort en inspelning av stycket. J
Denna kandidatuppsats är en kvalitativ undersökning om vilken effekt motiverande samtal (MI) har på arbetet för LSS-pedagoger som jobbar med personer med omfattande och varaktiga funktionshinder. MI är ett förhållningssätt som används i diverse vård och omsorgsyrken, men få studier har gjorts på samtalsledarens erfarenheter av MI, speciellt personal som jobbar inom LSS (Lagen om stöd och service fThis bachelor’s thesis is a qualitative inquiry into what effect Motivational interviewing (MI) has on the work experience of pedagogues working with people with mental impairment. MI is a counselling approach which is used in various care & support professions, but few studies have been conducted on the interviewer’s experience of using MI, especially people working in LSS (the Swedish act co
This thesis establishes a theoretical framework for constructing orthonormal tensor spline bases, to transform two-dimensional functions into a coherent set of coefficients, for easier analysis of functional data. Through empirical testing on image datasets, the method showcases promising results, underscoring its utility in pattern recognition tasks. This research lays a foundation for further ex
Seeing how climate change disproportionately affects women and children, the voices of young people and women are vital to incorporate into discussions and decision-making processes regarding climate change. This thesis explores the experiences of young women in the climate movement who have participated at the COP climate conferences between 2015-2023. By drawing on the theoretical framework of f
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur unga flickor i åldern 16 år i Malmö inspireras till självobjektifiering genom influencers på sociala medieplattformar. Mer specifikt betraktas detta utifrån influencern Bianca Ingrosso och hennes Instagram-innehåll. Genom en kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer med unga flickor ur denna målgrupp strävar vi efter att se vilka samband som kan finnas mellan
The growing importance of organisations becoming more sustainable has reached a crucial point. To aid the journey of becoming more sustainable information systems and specifically business intelligence is an appropriate solution to help manage and measure sustainable development. However previous research suggests the use of business intelligence in the context of sustainability is not as prevalen
This thesis critically explores gender equality in international development, focusing on Guatemala amidst resurgent right-wing politics, volatile commitment, and gender backlash. It investigates how institutions like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) navigate gender mainstreaming in a country with fluctuating dedication to gender equality. Through mixed methods, including thematic analy
Frågor kring hur begrepp och förklaringsmodeller används inom sångundervisning har varit ständigt närvarande under vår utbildning till sångpedagoger och var därmed ett givet val för oss att vilja undersöka vidare. Syftet med studien är att undersöka sångpedagogers yrkesspråk utifrån begrepp och förklaringsmodeller genom att ta del av deras erfarenheter och kunskaper. I vår undersökning har vi genoQuestions surrounding the use of terms and explanatory models in vocal training has been a constant presence throughout our education as vocal coaches and was therefore a natural choice for us to further investigate. The aim of this study is to explore vocal coaches' professional language based on terms and explanatory models by examining their experiences and expertise. In our study, we condu
This paper analyses deuteron evaporation in comparison to the evaporation of a proton-neutron pair for different compound nuclei. The main reaction is the fusion-evaporation reaction of 40Ca on 24Mg target leading to the formation of the 64Ge∗ compound nucleus, along with other contamination reactions. The experimental dataset is obtained from Argonne National Laboratory. Projections on γ-γ matric
A scattering process is the event where particles collide with each other and then move away from each other, in any direction. This is the foundation of any reaction between nuclei and is a central part of nuclear physics. In modelling these reactions, it is central to determine an effective potential, representing the reaction, to use in analysis. This potential is a complex potential referred
The issue of corporate accountability for human rights has gained significant attention in recent years, driven by increasing globalisation, complex corporate structures, and the public’s growing awareness of the harmful effects of business activities. Alongside the rising prominence of human rights on the international agenda, the issue of environmental impacts of corporations has also become mor
