In order to contribute to reaching the climate goals of the future, power-to-heat (P2H) technologies are a possible solution. A heat pump (HP) or an electric boiler (EB) can be used to produce warm water by utilising cheap electricity from photovoltaic (PV) parks in the summer when there are many hours of sunlight. The warm water can then be stored until winter for use in district heating (DH) whe
The emergence of cancel culture has become a widely recognised phenomenon, yet its implications for influencer marketing has not been acknowledged in academic research. The purpose of this study was thus to explore how cancel culture is affecting organisation’s perception of risk with influencer marketing and which strategies are adopted to mitigate the risk. Previous research and central theori
This study investigates the doing of research from the standpoint of communication. The ambition is to offer a historically specific critical interpretation of how to conceptualize the scientific article and its relation to contemporary sociological research. The interpretation is made in light of a synthesized theoretical framework, consisting of insights from Kuhn, Adorno, and Postone. To enable
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur influencer marketing och parasociala relationer påverkar konsumenters konsumtion av skönhetsprodukter. För att besvara syftet har vi använt oss av två forskningsfrågor som lyder: “Vilken roll har sociala medier i konsumenternas val av skönhetsprodukter?” och “Varför köper konsumenter produkter som influencers rekommenderar?”. De teoretiska verktyg vi a
As international actors and public policies have centered the ambition of gender equity, empowerment has become a buzzword within international development. With its original conceptualization suggesting a process of redefining the structures of power, feminist scholars have noted how empowerment has been robbed of its central element; power. Originally meant to be a political concept enabling mar
The European Union implements the Environmental Noise Directive (END), which offers a framework for evaluating and assessing environmental noise. All EU members are required to create strategic noise maps to inform the public about noise pollution and its effects. This study followed these directives and guidelines to collect the required data and employed the NORD2000 model to simulate traffic no
Being on everyone’s lips for years, the concept of sustainability has become an almost unavoidable phenomenon within contemporary business discourses and practice. In particular, has the Nordic fashion industry increasingly been infused by sustainability with a continuous growing public interest in buying sustainable products from companies that have embarked on a sustainable path. Despite a broad

Studien ämnar undersöka hur chefer inom ett universitet reagerar på ChatGPT och hur de ser på behovet av styrning och riktlinjer efter ökad osäkerhet i kärnverksamheten. För att uppnå detta syfte har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts. Empirin är inhämtad med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomförts med 10 chefer/formella ledare inom en fakultet på ett svenskt universitet. Studien har
This thesis aims to explore how a design system can serve as a resource for digital transformation within the retail industry, by drawing from the dynamic capabilities approach and the digital maturity framework by Pinto et al. (2023). Connected to this, it is looking specifically at the adoption of design systems and investigates how humans can act as enablers of digital transformation. To do so
I samband med den pågående gröna samhällsomställningen förväntas bostadsbristen i Sveriges norra delar bli allt större under kommande år. Luleå kommun är ett exempel där man redan idag märker av en stor brist på bostäder, inte minst utanför tätort där de ekonomiska incitamenten för nybyggnation ofta saknas. Samtidigt finns resurser och engagemang på landsbygden som ofta saknas i en stadskontext. L
The aim of this work was to develop a stable and reproducible argon milling process for InAs nanowires to remove the native oxide layer that increases electrical resistance. This was done by identifying a few milling parameters and studying them in relation to the milling rate of silicon dioxide (SiO2). After further experiments with different milling parameters, a set of parameter values was foun
The study will deal with the strategies used by the Swedish government and the Public Health Agency (FHM) to control the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Initially, the risk of general transmission was considered low and the strategy was to flatten the curve. However, the Swedish approach was criticized for being unclear and not imposing strict restrictions, while others hailed it as an exemplary mod
Syftet med studien var att undersöka fyra kvinnliga patienters upplevelser av två olika typer av vårdinrättningar. De respondenter som deltagit i studien har tidigare behandlats för psykisk ohälsa under sin sjukskrivning, dels i den öppenpsykiatriska sjukhusmiljön, men även i en medicinskt natur- och djurunderstödd vårdinrättning. Vidare var syftet med studien att få ta del av patienternas egna jäThe aim of this study was to examine four female patients' experiences of two different types of health care facilities. The patients had been treated for psychiatric disorders in a psychiatric patient facility in a hospital environment and also in a nature- and animal assisted healthcare facility. In addition, the aim of this study was to take part of their personal comparisons and any sim
This study aims to quantitatively examine the influence of perceived environmental corporate social responsibility on green purchase intentions by using mediating and moderating variables of consumer-company identification and greenwashing perception.
Det är bevisat att en stor del av hushållens utsläpp är från matkonsumtionen och därmed grundas denna studie i ett samhällsproblem om hur matkonsumtionens skada på planeten kan minskas. Tidigare forskning har genom kvantitativa metoder identifierat motiv till eller från konsumtion av hållbara livsmedel men det saknas forskning för vad som ligger bakom dessa motiv. Syftet med denna studie är därmed
Artificial neural networks are known to run into issues when given samples that deviate from the training distribution, where the network may confidently provide an incorrect answer. Out-of-distribution detection methods aims to provide a solution to this issue, by detecting data that deviates from the distribution used to train the model. This thesis looks at the possibility of using out-of-distr
Följande studie presenterar en kvalitativ analys av kvinnors berättelser av att leva med bäckenbottendysfunktioner. Studien är genomförd med hjälp av åtta stycken semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fokus är koncentrerat på om kvinnorna känner sig socialt begränsade efter att ha fött barn med förlossningsskador som följd. Studien belyser såväl fysiska som mindre fysiska begränsningar i vardagslivet. Int
